Lawyer's character

"Really, everything I said is true." Lu Ye looked into Du Yong's eyes: "I was too conceited, so... I really didn't know before, I really didn't know!"

He repeated what he had just said, grabbing his hair with regret in his voice.

"What happened after you knew the true situation? You understand what I mean. In other words, when did you know the true situation and at what stage of the whole incident?" Du Yong asked.

"Before the last time. Yes, I was imprisoned not long after we watched the movie on New Year's Day. I remember it correctly." Lu Ye scratched his head and replied.

"So you didn't know her actual situation the first three times, and you didn't know the real situation until the last time, right?" Du Yong asked.

"Yes, that's it." Lu Ye nodded.

"You have been communicating with her through WeChat and QQ for so long, haven't you ever doubted her true situation?" Du Yong thought for a while and asked.

"No, I have dated several girlfriends before and didn't think there was any problem, so I didn't think much about it.

When I met Yan Xiaxia, she was young and beautiful. I could chat with her very easily. She had her own ideas and was pretty, so I didn't think much about it. " Lu Ye replied.

"In addition to using WeChat to communicate, have you used other instant messaging tools to communicate?" Du Yong asked.

"I have also used QQ. In fact, when I chat with Yan Xiaxia, QQ is the one I use the most." Lu Ye replied.

"Why don't you use WeChat?" After Du Yong asked, he immediately realized that the team usually uses QQ instead of WeChat to share files internally.

The reason is that QQ can upload files exceeding 100MB, and can find videos, pictures and files from seven days ago. Even if you log in on different devices, you can still find the files. This greatly facilitates lawyers who use QQ to work.

"...I usually use WeChat when I call and send messages to my parents at home, but I mostly use QQ to communicate with my buddies and friends. It's mainly because I'm used to it and everyone uses it. For me, WeChat is used most frequently for its payment function. "Lu Ye explained.

"When you added her as a friend on QQ, did you check her information? For example, her specific situation." Du Yong asked.

"I didn't pay attention to it. It's not accurate anymore. It can be changed. Some friends wrote that they were one hundred years old, and some friends wrote that they were ninety-nine years old. No one took it seriously if they didn't count. "Lu Ye shook his head.

"When the public security organs and prosecutorial organs asked you, did you also say the same thing?" Du Yong asked.

"Well, it's the same as what I told you. What I told you is the truth, Lawyer Du, will I be sentenced?" As soon as the words came out, tears filled Lu Ye's eyes.

"Based on the current situation, you are most likely guilty of rape, but we will defend you as a minor crime. Don't think too much. Is there anything you need to say to your parents? I can tell them." Du Yong I don’t want to talk too much about conviction and sentencing, because this will increase the psychological pressure on the defendant and be detrimental to the trial.

"No." Lu Ye lowered his head and shook his head.

He has reached the edge of collapse and feels that he is finished!

As soon as Du Yong walked out of the detention center, Lu Ye's parents came over.

"Lawyer Du, how is the situation?" Han Yuhong asked impatiently.

"He is doing well, but he is under a lot of mental pressure. We will go to the court in the afternoon to review the papers. You can go back first and wait for our call." After chatting for a few more words, Du Yong said goodbye to Lu Shouqing and Han Yuhong and walked to his Jetta car.

…

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed, and Li Mingbo and the other six lawyers have basically adapted to the work rhythm of Fang Yi's team. Everyone is busy with the case every day, and basically has little time to chat except during meal time.

On Friday afternoon, team members gathered in Fang Yi’s office to prepare for their weekly meeting.

"Butler Yun, do you still have any stock?" Zhou Ying shouted to Yun Qiao after entering the door holding a coffee cup with cartoon patterns on it.

"There must be. Cheng Du, don't be stunned, come here and help." Yun Qiao waved to Cheng Du.

The two squatted next to the cabinet next to the refrigerator and began to cook. Soon everyone in the room had beef jerky, nuts and other snacks in their hands.

"Where is Boss Fang?" Meng Guangda chewed beef jerky and looked around but did not see Fang Yi.

If Fang Yi was missing from the regular meeting on Friday, it would be like a bowl of fried noodles without the frying process. The whole bowl of noodles would taste less chewy and lose its soul.

"My master has gone to find Lawyer Hua. He will be back soon. Please wait a moment." Sui Xia said with a smile.

In Hua Liancheng's office, Fang Yi looked at Hua Liancheng opposite with a smile.

"Lawyer Fang, the project you introduced to Lawyer Sima Jun before has been signed, and the legal fee is 300,000. I have assigned two assistants and a junior lawyer to Lawyer Sima, and the four of them have already entered the project. It is estimated that It's going to take a while.

Sister Lan was very happy with the work. After signing the contract, she paid the initial legal fees of 200,000 yuan. We agreed before that the channel fee will be calculated at 20%. This is 60,000 yuan. You keep it. Hua Liancheng said, opened the drawer and took out six piles of cash. Each pile was bundled. At a glance, he knew that he had just withdrawn it from the bank.

He pushed the cash in front of Fang Yi.

Generally, channel fees will be paid after all legal fees are received, or paid after the project is completed (this is mainly because they are afraid that half of the project will be refunded). Hua Liancheng paid all the channel fees just after receiving the upfront payment. , this is obviously showing favor to Fang Yi.

"Lawyer Hua, don't be so anxious. Lawyer Sima just brought people in. The project has not been completed yet. It will not be too late to wait until you receive the final payment." Fang Yi pushed back the 60,000 yuan on the table.

"Take it, there's no big problem with this project, it's just a matter of time." Hua Liancheng advised.

"Wait a minute! There are rules in everything. I don't want to break the rules and make it difficult for you. We are not a one-time deal." Fang Yi smiled.

Hua Liancheng's position at Sidley is a bit awkward, and everyone can see it. Now Fang Yi wants to be successful in Shengde. It is the time when he is gaining power. He does not want anyone to point fingers behind his back and say that he is taking advantage of the situation to pressure others to get channel fees.

"Okay. When the project is completed, I'll treat you to dinner. Then we'll settle the channel fees." Hua Liancheng secretly cursed himself for being stupid. Who is Fang Yi? We still have this little money, so we should follow the rules. .

When Fang Yi returned to the office, everyone was chatting animatedly. When he entered the room, the noise in the room suddenly stopped.

"Sorry, I was delayed just now!" Fang Yi walked to his chair with a smile and said to everyone: "Who brought the case today? Let's get started!"
