The interrogation room of Longcheng Binjiang Branch.
"Hello, Mr. Chen Xin, I am your attorney, Zhang Wei." Zhang Wei, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes and a meticulous hairstyle, sat opposite Chen Xin and nodded with a smile.
Chen Xin seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and shouted quickly: "Lawyer Zhang, Lawyer Zhang! You must save me, you must save me! I was wronged and someone framed me!"
Chen Xin was so excited that he hit the table with his handcuffs, making a loud noise.
Zhang Wei had a professional smile on his face and no obvious mood swings.
He has met between a hundred and eighty clients, and many of them reacted more violently than Chen Xin.
Some cried bitterly, some regretted it, and some spent money wildly to demand that they be exonerated.
But these people have forgotten that lawyers are not gods, and all their efforts need to be within the limits of the law.
The greater the crime you commit, the greater the punishment you will bear.
Lawyers cannot change fate against the will of God. They can only try to get the client to have a lighter punishment through hard arguments, appropriate speaking skills, or seeking the plaintiff’s forgiveness.
Of course, Zhang Wei fully understood the nervousness, panic, fear and other negative emotions the client felt when he was sitting in that position, so he did not interrupt and just looked at Chen Xin with a smile.
When Chen Xin finally calmed down, he said: "Mr. Chen Xin, don't worry, as a professional lawyer, I will do my best to help you reduce your sentence."
"What? Commutation of sentence? Can't he be innocent?" Chen Xin suddenly became anxious again.
Now that you know you are in a hurry, what did you do earlier?
Zhang Wei is feeling sad inside, but of course he has received professional training and will not show it.
"Mr. Chen Xin, don't get excited, tell me everything first."
"Okay, okay." Chen Xin nodded and began to describe: "It's like this. I am an anchor on the Douyin platform. I have set up a studio to make money through live broadcasts. A few days ago, there was a person who I bought a mechanical keyboard for my live broadcast room..."
Chen Xin said eloquently.
But he simply ignored some of the details.
For example, he does not cooperate with any formal manufacturers in his live broadcast. All his products come from second-hand markets, Internet cafes, and even scrap collection stations...
For another example, Chen Xin is not a first-time offender. The first time he sold goods during a live broadcast was fake. It has been more than half a year now...
Even though Chen Xin was already sitting in the interrogation room of the police station, even though he saw all kinds of evidence collected by the police, he still took chances and avoided the important, as if doing so could alleviate the crime.
But in Zhang Wei's opinion, his behavior was stupid!
“Tuk-tuk-tuk!”
Zhang Wei frowned, knocked on the table with his knuckles, interrupted Chen Xin's words, and said in a stern tone: "Mr. Chen Xin, you have to understand that I am your lawyer and I am here to help you!"
"But the premise is that you must tell me everything, exactly as it is, without any concealment or embellishment."
"I can't help you if I don't understand the whole situation."
"You are now suspected of fraud, and the amount is extremely huge. You may face more than ten years in prison. Don't you realize the seriousness of the matter?"
Hearing this, Chen Xin was stunned.
"Ten, ten years?"
He was panicking to death, beads of sweat quickly formed on his forehead, and his voice was trembling: "I'm just selling some small things, why should I go to jail for ten years! Lawyer Zhang, you, you can help me, right? You must Help me! I’ll give you money, I can give you a lot of money!”
Zhang Wei said sternly: "Your parents have already paid the legal fees. Again, don't hide anything from me so that I can help you."
At this time, Chen Xin did not dare to hide anything and told everything about the situation.
After listening, Zhang Wei frowned.
The situation was worse than he expected.
Chen Xin has been carrying fake goods on live broadcasts for half a year. If accumulated, the amount of money involved would probably be more than three million.
I really don’t know whether to call him stupid or smart for actually thinking of such a way to make a profit.
The best ways to make money are all written in the Criminal Code, but can they be done?
Zhang Wei suddenly felt a headache. He pinched the center of his eyebrows and said, "You clearly know that what you are selling is fake. How can you still be so confident when others come to you?"
Chen Xin lowered his head and whispered: "I, I didn't expect him to be so heartless..."
"Lawyer Zhang, why do you think he is doing this? What is he trying to do? If he spends one million in my live broadcast room, aren't he afraid that he won't get it back?"
Chen Xin really doesn't understand.
"I don't know what the other party is doing. I only know that the current situation is very unfavorable to you."
"That……"
"Okay, I understand the situation."
Zhang Wei waved his hand, stood up and said, "I'll go back and meet your parents first. Don't worry, we will help you."
"By the way, I want to remind you, don't be too smart with your police comrades. They have dealt with countless criminals and have rich experience, and they have far more evidence than you think. Don't be too smart."
"If you don't want to go to jail, you should honestly explain all your problems, take the initiative to explain, and take the initiative to admit your mistakes. This will help you."
After saying that, Zhang Wei left.
Chen Xin's wife already understood everything that he should know. The most urgent task now is to obtain Jiang Bai's understanding.
Although Chen Xin's case is a public prosecution case and will be handed over to the procuratorate for public prosecution after the public security organ's interrogation is completed, the attitude of Jiang Bai, the biggest victim, will still greatly affect the final sentencing decision.
If you want to reduce the sentence, you still have to start from Jiang Bai's side.
…
A few minutes later, we were in a coffee shop opposite the branch office.
"Lawyer Zhang, have you seen Xiaoxin? How is he? Has he suffered in there or been bullied? Has he lost weight?" Li Guihua asked Zhang Wei opposite her with red eyes.
Zhang Wei said: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen Xin is fine. He is only temporarily detained and will not be bullied."
"That……"
"Okay, stop talking now!" Chen Jianghe interrupted his wife's nagging and said to Zhang Wei: "Lawyer Zhang, what's going on with our Xiaoxin?"
"Do you know where the goods your son brings on live broadcast come from?" Zhang Wei asked.
Chen Jianghe and his wife shook their heads.
"There are those who buy them from the second-hand market, those who have been eliminated from Internet cafes, and even those who buy scraps from waste collection stations!" Zhang Wei shook his head and said: "He has been doing this for more than half a year, but because the things are cheap, no one is willing to pay for these few
I paid ten yuan to be honest, so Chen Xin’s matter has never been exposed.”
"A few days ago, someone bought a scrap keyboard in his live broadcast room and asked him to return it, but he refused."
"In anger, this person used a thousand accounts to buy something worth a million dollars in Chen Xin's live broadcast room, and then reported it to the police."
"This amount has reached the standard of 'extremely huge amount' for the crime of fraud. The sentencing will start at least ten years!"
