Quan Jing Law Firm.

"Manager Cao, you also know that as the defendant's defender in Jiang Bai's case, I have basically never successfully reduced my client's sentence."

"I'm curious, why are you still willing to trust me and entrust me with this case?"

After listening to Cao Jie's story, Zhang Wei couldn't help but ask.

Cao Jie said with a smile: "Lawyer Zhang, I have carefully studied Jiang Bai's case as the plaintiff. Although the defendants were eventually sentenced to harsher sentences and even received sentences exceeding the terms requested in the lawsuit, I know that this is not your responsibility.

"

"Lawyer Zhang has clear defense ideas and his performance in court is remarkable. Those defendants ended up like this entirely because they committed suicide on their own and had nothing to do with you."

"I absolutely trust Lawyer Zhang's ability, and I ask you to take this case."

"Okay!" Zhang Wei nodded heavily, "Since Manager Cao trusts me so much, I will do my best!"

Cao Jie put his hands on his hands and smiled: "That's great! Lawyer Zhang, this is what I'm waiting for."

After he finished speaking, he acted like he was about to speak but hesitated.

Zhang Wei's eyes were so vicious that he naturally noticed it and said, "If Manager Cao has something to say, you might as well say it directly."

"Since Lawyer Zhang is quick to talk, I won't hide it anymore." Cao Jie slapped his thigh and said, "I have no other requirements for this case. I just hope that it can end here and not affect more people."

.”

Ma Jiankui and Qi Tian are just "trial employees" of the 4S store. Whether they live or die, the 4S store doesn't care at all.

Cao Jie doesn't care either.

The reason why he was so nervous that he hired a famous and prestigious barrister for Ma Jiankui and his apprentice was because he was worried that the fire would spread from them to the 4S store.

"I understand what you mean, please don't worry."

Zhang Wei nodded slowly.

He is a lawyer. He will ask questions that should be asked and will not talk too much about questions that should not be asked. He will try his best to do what should be done and will not do anything unnecessary.

If there are any problems within the 4S store, that is the responsibility of the judicial authorities or the market supervision department, and has nothing to do with him as a lawyer.

His duty is to fight for the rights of his client and serve his client, nothing more.

Therefore, Zhang Wei was able to meet Cao Jie's requirements.

After signing the contract, Zhang Wei immediately left for the detention center to meet his client without further delay.

…

"Hello Mr. Ma, I am the lawyer hired by Manager Cao Jie for you. My name is Zhang Wei."

Half an hour later, Zhang Wei, as the defender, met Ma Jiankui in the detention center.

"I knew the manager would not abandon me. I have been working in the 4S store for so many years, and I have worked hard even without merit! Lawyer Zhang, you must help me, you must save me!"

Ma Jiankui's eyes lit up, and an expression of excitement suddenly appeared on his face.

"Mr. Ma, you don't have to worry. Since Manager Cao Jie has chosen me, you should believe in my abilities."

Zhang Wei calmed Ma Jiankui's emotions and said: "I will fully defend you and reduce your punishment, and all you have to do is cooperate fully."

"I know, I know, I will definitely cooperate with you fully." Ma Jiankui nodded quickly, looked at Zhang Wei eagerly and asked: "Lawyer Zhang, um, I want to know, how many years in prison will I have to serve in my situation?"

After the interrogation, Ma Jiankui no longer had any hope of avoiding jail.

He just wants to know how many years he will be sentenced.

Zhang Wei said calmly: "You are now suspected of two crimes, one of which is the crime of intentional destruction of property, which reaches the standard of huge amount, more than three years and less than seven years."

"The second one is the crime of insurance fraud. If an individual commits insurance fraud, the case will be filed if the amount exceeds 10,000 yuan, but within five years."

"In the case of both crimes being punished..."

"etc!"

Before Zhang Wei could finish speaking, Ma Jiankui raised his hand and asked cautiously: "Lawyer Zhang, um... that is to say, the defrauded bailout of more than 100,000 yuan is less than five years?"

Zhang Wei took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "You mean, the amount of insurance you defrauded was hundreds of thousands?"

"……Um……"

Ma Jiankui nodded slowly and said in a hoarse voice: "This order alone is a few thousand yuan, but including the previous ones, the total in the past year should have exceeded 100,000, but it has definitely not reached 200,000."

Zhang Wei's mouth twitched twice, and he said slowly: "If an individual commits insurance fraud, the amount is more than 10,000, which is considered a large amount; if it is more than 50,000, it is a huge amount; and if it is more than 200,000, it is a particularly huge amount."

"The sentencing standards are less than five years, more than five years but less than ten years, and more than ten years."

Hearing this, Ma Jiankui's face suddenly became extremely ugly: "One is more than three years and less than seven years, and one is more than five years and less than ten years. Doesn't that mean that the shortest sentence is... eight years???"

Eight years!

The war is over.

The children have already graduated from college and may be getting married soon!

Zhang Wei said: "Don't worry, the statutory sentence is death, but the actual sentence is life. I have found many statutory and discretionary mitigating circumstances that apply to you. As long as you cooperate fully, the final sentence will not be

There will be so many.”

"Okay, okay, okay, I will listen to you! Whatever you tell me to do, Lawyer Zhang, I will do it!" Ma Jiankui nodded repeatedly.

"Well, let's get to the point now."

Zhang Wei's face straightened and he said: "The sentencing guidelines issued by the Supreme Court stipulate several statutory and discretionary mitigating circumstances, several of which are applicable to you. My defense ideas mainly revolve around these

Come and proceed, and all you have to do is cooperate with my ideas."

"The first is to confess the circumstances. You must truthfully confess your crimes to the police. If there are crimes that you have committed that the judicial authorities have not yet grasped, you must also take the initiative to confess. Don't take chances and think that they will investigate.

No. If you don't confess truthfully and the police find out on their own, it will be very detrimental to you."

"The third is voluntary confession and expression of repentance..."

"The fourth is..."

Zhang Weizhi talked about the defense ideas he had prepared in advance.

Ma Jiankui's two crimes, the crime of intentional destruction of property and the crime of insurance fraud, have conclusive evidence, and there is no possibility of overturning the case. Therefore, if you want to reduce the penalty, you can only start from these aspects.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Wei stared at Ma Jiankui and reminded in a deep voice: "The above is the defense idea I prepared. If done properly, there is a chance that your sentence can be reduced to less than five years."

"But in addition to these, you must remember what I am going to say next, and you must not make any mistakes, otherwise even the Great Luo Immortal will not be able to save you!"

"Never curse the judge, don't make a scene in the courtroom, don't attack the prison guards, don't give false testimony in court, don't regret and refuse to plead guilty..."

Zhang Wei emphasized some taboos and taboos in court.

In the past, there was no need to say so much in a lawsuit. At most, you could simply say, "Everything is up to me."

But not now.

Others are bitten by a snake once and fear the rope for ten years.

Zhang Wei was tricked by his pig teammates, he was really scared.

"In a word, listen to my orders and don't make arbitrary decisions. You can do whatever I ask you to do. You can't do anything I didn't say!" Zhang Wei still felt uneasy and emphasized again.

"Don't worry, I've never seen a pig run away, haven't I ever eaten pork? You are a professional, I will definitely listen to you."

Ma Jiankui readily agreed.

Then he rolled his eyes and asked: "Lawyer Zhang, people say that those who confess will be punished with leniency but those who refuse to be punished with strict punishment. Is this nonsense or does it have a legal basis?"

"This falls under the sentencing guidelines I just mentioned. If you confess or surrender, you can indeed get a reduced sentence." Zhang Wei nodded slowly.

"Oh, then if I perform meritorious service, can my sentence be reduced?" Ma Jiankui then asked.

"That's right."

Zhang Wei nodded again.

"That's good. Yesterday I accidentally let it slip that I was not the only one doing this, but others were doing it too."

"The police who interrogated me later noticed this and insisted on telling me who did it and how it was done. They also said that if my confession was true, it would be considered a major meritorious service on my part."

Ma Jiankui couldn't help but have a smile on his face, and said: "Actually, I didn't say much, mainly just a few people from the maintenance department of the 4S store, oh, and some situations in the sales department."

"I did break the law and committed a crime. I already know that I was wrong. But I don't want to go to jail for too long, so I can only explain the problem to them to reduce my sentence."

"Anyway, after I am released from prison, I will go back to my hometown and won't have to deal with them."

"My son is very promising. He ranked third in the class in the final exam and ranked in the top 20 in age..."

Speaking of children, a smile appeared on Ma Jiankui's face.

Full of pride.

But Zhang Wei, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but change his expression.

"Mr. Ma, you mean... you confessed to many other people's illegal operations?" Zhang Wei couldn't help but ask.

"Um."
