Chapter 422

"I'm not here today to review the papers. I want to understand the case with you and ask about the stolen money. Is it true that all the company funds that were embezzled went into the account of the live broadcast company?" Fang Yi asked after drinking a sip of tea.

"We checked, and the money was indeed spent on the live broadcast. We checked the bank statement and went to the live broadcast company to investigate. To be honest, the money is hard to recover!" Li Bin said.

Fang Yi had helped him before, and there was some love between the two, so he still took care of Fang Yi very much, and he would speak directly when he had anything to say, without using bureaucratic accents.

"Let me inquire again, what can we say about the company's funds embezzled by the criminal suspect?" Fang Yi asked.

"Then what can I say? I have tipped the host. It is a legal transaction. I am afraid it will be difficult to recover. This is the first time we have encountered such a case. What is the idea of ​​Shengfeng Group?" Li Bin flicked his hand on cigarette ash, asked.

Shengfeng Group is a well-known enterprise in the county. After the incident, the higher-ups told Li Bin that they must handle the case legally and compliantly to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the enterprise.

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but the true meaning could only be conveyed in words. Li Bin knew it well, but the live broadcast company was in the city, not in the county, and had a certain background, so it was difficult to handle.

Everyone admits that the criminal suspect rewarded the anchor, and the money did go into the live broadcast company's account, but they want a legal basis, and the other party's legal adviser is aggressive. A hard-toothed lawyer, he is a bit out of reach, he is full of energy but can't use it.

So the money involved in the case has not been recovered until now, so Sister Lan had no choice but to ask Fang Yi for help, intending to try a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"I do have a suggestion, you should take a look at this first." Fang Yi took out the copy of the case he had seen before and pushed it to Li Bin.

Fang Yi thought that if the police could get back the money involved in the case, he would save a lot of trouble.

After reading the case, Li Bin frowned and looked at Fang Yi: "Is... can this work? After all, it is not a case in our province."

Fang Yi understood what Li Bin meant. Although the criminal cases handled by public prosecutors in all provinces followed the same "Criminal Law" and "Criminal Procedure Law", the standards and caliber of judgments in different provinces were not the same. The province can do the same.

"If it works, you can try it." Fang Yi suggested.

"Well..., I don't think it's better than this. Anyway, this case will be transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution. Why don't we hold an internal meeting to communicate, and if we think there is no problem, we will deal with it as stolen money.

If the bureau does not agree, I will transfer the case to the procuratorate. You can communicate with the procuratorate to see if the reward from the live broadcast company can be treated as stolen money.I can only do this step. " Li Bin thought for a while.

Li Bin had previously reported to his superiors that Shengfeng Group's embezzled funds were used for rewards, but the opinions of the superiors were not very consistent.

Li Bin went to the live broadcast company. The legal adviser of the live broadcast company pointed out that the live broadcast company is operating legally, and the reward behavior of the criminal suspect is not illegal. The reward funds are used to purchase services. Therefore, it applies to bona fide acquisition and should not be recovered as stolen money.

So even though Fang Yi provided a case, Li Bin is still not optimistic about this matter.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Fang Yi said.

On the afternoon of the fifth day after Fang Yi returned to the city, Li Bin called him and told him that the matter had not been settled and the case had been transferred to the procuratorate.Let him go to the procuratorate to discuss the recovery of stolen money.

Fang Yi sighed, that was all he could do.

In Wanhua United Law Firm, Fang Yi was thinking about how to communicate with the prosecutor in the case of Shengfeng Group. Zhou Ying sent him a WeChat message: Lawyer Fang, just received a message from the case team. There is a criminal case calling for you Undertaker, do you want to take it?

Fang Yi replied after reading the WeChat message: OK, send it over.

Why not earn money, what he lacks now is money.But when he saw the lawyer's fee, he was dumbfounded, it was only 5000 yuan!
After lunch, Xie Youhe ran into Fang Yi in the smoking room.

"Old Fang, there is a criminal case called for you this morning. I took over that case." Xie Youhe said with a cigarette in his mouth, "Have you made an appointment with the client yet?"

"An appointment is made. The client will come over at 01:30 in the afternoon." Fang Yi said, "Why is the lawyer's fee so low?"

"The family of the client in this case is from a rural area, not rich, and not qualified for legal aid, so I applied to the firm, took the green channel, and reduced part of the fee, so the lawyer's fee is so low.

The defendant in this case is very likely to be sentenced to death. The family members have read your information on the Internet and hope that you can take over the case and save your life. "Xie Youhe said.

"Have you agreed to the client?" Fang Yi was taken aback, thinking: In death penalty cases, such a low lawyer's fee is about the same as the interview income, and you still want to save the defendant's life?This requirement is a bit high!
"No, how can I agree to the client, rape to death, the chance of saving life in this kind of case is not high, maybe we just go through a procedure. You will know when you ask this afternoon." Xie You said softly.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, a plainly dressed woman in her thirties, tall and a little bit listless walked into the conference room of the law firm.

"Hello, I'm lawyer Fang Yi. Are you Ms. Zhou Junping Zhou?" Fang Yi walked into the meeting room and asked.

"I am! Hello, Lawyer Fang. I was the one who answered your call before." Ms. Zhou got up and said, her voice was a little weak.

"The defendant is your lover?" Fang Yi asked.

Ms. Zhou nodded without saying a word.

"Do you know the situation of the case? Can you tell me what happened?" Fang Yi picked up the pen and asked.

"I don't know the specific situation. At the end of August, my husband was having dinner at home when several police officers rushed in and took him away. Later, the police said that he was suspected of rape.

Later, I asked a lawyer to visit him in the detention center. The lawyer came back and told me that a woman in the next village was raped to death, and it was he who did it. " Ms. Zhou said and wiped away tears.

"The case is now in court?" Fang Yi asked.

"Yes, it is said that it will be tried in the intermediate court." Ms. Zhou nodded.

"Is the signature and fingerprint on the entrustment procedure yours?" Fang Yi asked seeing that the other party knew very little about the case.

"I signed it, and I pressed my fingerprints. Lawyer Fang, can my husband survive?" Ms. Zhou asked raising her head.

"It's hard to say. The case you can provide is limited. You can only judge after you have met your husband and read the case files." Fang Yi said.

"How did you get the injury on your face?" Fang Yi asked seeing a bruise on Ms. Zhou's face.
