Lawyer

Chapter 199 Fake generosity?
Fang Yi's attention was all on the verdict, and he didn't notice the change in Fang Mao's expression.

"Brother Mao, was my sister-in-law caught while selling protected wild animals?" Fang Yi looked up at Fang Mao.

"Well. I advised her not to make a lot of money in a whimsical way, but she just didn't listen.

You also know that your sister-in-law has opened a small restaurant in the village. It’s hard to hire a cook these days, and you can’t make money without special dishes. I don’t know when your sister-in-law met a dealer who sells wild animals. You will get some pheasants, hares, or whooper swans, and sometimes you can get bear paws.In fact, she can't make a lot of money from a single order, and she is just a matchmaker.

On the day of the incident, there was something happening in the village, so I didn't go to the restaurant, and later I heard that she was arrested while fetching wild animals for clients.She committed a criminal case and was locked up in a detention center. I couldn't see her. I heard that only lawyers could see her.

I don't know where Zhang Datou heard that my wife was arrested. He came to my house that night, patted his chest and said that he could solve this matter, but I was fooled by him and signed the contract.That's it. "Fang Mao said regretfully.

Fang Yi saw that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he advised Fang to think about it and don't panic when things happen.That's what I said, but there are a few people who don't panic when encountering major events. As a villager, Fang Mao's performance is already good.

"Brother Mao, if my sister-in-law wants to appeal, she must hurry up and submit an appeal within ten days from the date of receiving the judgment." Fang Yi said after reading it.

"Yes, I'm also afraid of delaying things. Why don't I come to you now? I think you are more reliable as a brother, so I want to entrust you to handle your sister-in-law's case. What do you think?" Fang looked at Fang eagerly Yi.

"No problem. I'll take care of my sister-in-law's affairs. But my sister-in-law is currently under arrest. The police have all the stolen goods. This case is not easy to fight. I can only try. I'll meet with my sister-in-law first and ask about the specific situation." Fang Yi said.

"Then look, the lawyer's fee..."

Fang Mao looked at Fang Yi again. He had asked Zhang Daou to represent his wife's case before. He spent a lot of money. The people in the village were poor and couldn't stand the torture. But going to prison is like going to a hospital. No, people have to grit their teeth and stiffen as much as they want.

"Brother Mao, we are not outsiders, so we don't need to pay lawyer fees." Fang Yi said.

It's not that Fang Yi is fake and generous. Fang Youcai's job of guarding the gate in the village was arranged by Fang Mao. In the past few years, if anyone in the village has a big or small affair, Fang Mao led the village cadres to run ahead. If the child's illness hadn't come out, I'm afraid the life of the childbearing family would be even more difficult.

In all fairness, Fang Mao, as the village head, has provided a lot of benefits to the villagers in the past few years, such as poverty alleviation loans, living allowances for needy families, and mutual aid groups in the village.

In the past two years, he has helped the villagers get loans for poverty alleviation, raised sheep and pigs, and done a lot of practical things. Every time Fang Yi came home, his father Fang Youcai would chat with him about new things in the village, so Fang Yi took a risk. The impression is very good, Fang Yi felt that he should help Fang take the risk because of his love and reason.

"This... is this appropriate?" Fang Mao felt a little sorry and said awkwardly.

"It's all from my own family, let's not talk about this. Let's have dinner first, and then go to work later. Let's go to the prison to complete the entrustment procedures. I will tell the director about the situation. I will make an appointment with the detention center to meet my sister-in-law in the next two days." Fang Yi said.

After Fang Mao listened, his heart was warm, and his whole body relaxed a lot.

In the afternoon, Fang Mao signed the entrustment formalities in the conference room of the law firm. Fang Yi went to the director's office and told Director Sun that Fang Mao was the elder brother of the same family and had a close relationship, so it was not easy to collect legal fees.Fang Yi thought Director Sun would chatter a few words, but Sun Zhengyi asked Fang Yi to go through the formalities without raising any objections at all. He just reminded Fang Yi to be careful when he went out, so as not to turn against each other.

Director Sun still has a bottom line. He usually doesn't charge for his own family's cases.

How could Fang Yi not understand Sun Zhengyi's meaning? Director Sun was afraid that his case would go awry or fail to meet the client's expectations, and that relatives would become enemies, and the relationship would not be harmonious in the future.

Originally, Fang Yi could push this case to other colleagues or colleagues, and he would not be involved in this case himself, but he felt that judging from the current situation, in terms of criminal cases, the few masters in the justice law firm... forget it. Do it yourself and feel more at ease.

In addition, during the meal just now, Fang Yi had already tested Fang Mao's bottom line. Fang Mao is a sensible person and knows that this case is difficult to handle.That's why Fang Yi dared to take over Fang Maojia's case.

The next morning, Fang Yi went to the detention center to meet Fang Mao's daughter-in-law, Zhao Cuixia.

Zhao Cuixia, who was brought by the policewoman, was depressed at this time, her eyes were a little red, and she became agitated after seeing Fang Yi.

"Big brother, why are you here?" Zhao Cuixia asked with bright eyes.

"Brother Mao found me and told me that something happened to you, and entrusted me to provide you with criminal defense in the second instance. Do you agree with me to provide you with defense?" Fang Yi asked.

"Agreed, I know you are a person who has read a lot of books, you are a doctor, you can definitely get me out." Zhao Cuixia shed tears involuntarily as she spoke.

"Sister-in-law, it's a routine procedure, you have to sign." Fang Yi said and pushed some A4 papers to her.

Zhao Cuixia raised her right hand and wiped her tears with the back of her hand, then picked up a pen and began to sign.

"Sister-in-law, what happened at that time, you have to tell me the ins and outs, and don't hide anything." Fang Yi felt uncomfortable. Zhao Cuixia was easy-going, she was good at doing business, and she had a good head. Got caught!
"Well, at the end of last year, someone came to my restaurant and asked me if I had any good game. I didn't have any in hand at the time, so I didn't continue the conversation..." Zhao Cuixia told the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that at the end of last year, a man named Wu suddenly came to the small restaurant run by Zhao Cuixia. When the man surnamed Wu saw that there were not many people in the restaurant, he pulled Zhao Cuixia aside and asked him in a low voice if he could do anything. The game (good game: refers to the wild animals protected by the state), said that he wanted to buy some gifts.

Zhao Cuixia had done the same thing before, and she had many regular customers, but this time the man surnamed Wu was a stranger, she was very wary and said that there were no such things as rabbits and pheasants raised by the villagers.

The man surnamed Wu knew that she couldn't trust him, so he named a regular customer of Zhao Cuixia's. Zhao Cuixia didn't immediately agree to him at that time, but asked the other party to leave her mobile phone number and told him to call him when the goods were available.
