The lawyer felt a little uncomfortable. There were many valuable things in her bag, and she was worried that she would be away from home for a long time. But she could only stay here and listen to Bai Song's talk.
"It's like this. I want you to tell Tian Huan that he actually wants a reduced sentence. The key issue is not with me, but to confess the truth." Bai Song calculated the time in his mind. "Of course, I will go back and think about this matter carefully, but he should think about it more carefully. Otherwise, if something is exposed, it will be bad if he gets shot..."
For the first time, the lawyer interrupted Bai Song and said, "Captain Bai, the issue you mentioned is something that the investigating agency should consider. As a lawyer, I protect the legitimate rights and interests of my clients, and I just need to do my job well. Besides, you shouldn't say this in your current capacity. This should be something that other police officers told me."
The implication is that Bai Song is a non-investigator who is being avoided, so he should not get involved in other matters and just talk about money.
"Haha, that's right." Bai Song laughed. Seeing that the lawyer was getting impatient, he knew that the lawyer would probably stand up and leave in the next second, so he stood up first and said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Take your time drinking."
As he spoke, Bai Song took his time, picked up the cup, and slowly finished his coffee.
Out of politeness, the lawyer could only wait for Bai Song to finish his drink and slowly walk away. Then she quickly got up and ran to the bar to get her bag back.
"No one touched my bag, right?" the lawyer asked hurriedly. As he spoke, he opened the bag and took a look. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found nothing was missing.
"Come here, I want to tell you something." A man at the bar called the lawyer to a blind spot of the surveillance camera.
The female lawyer looked stern, as if she had a bad premonition.
"You are an old customer of our store. I'm telling you a secret. Just now when you were sitting there, two policemen came with inspection certificates and checked your bag. They also asked us to keep this matter confidential..." The bar staff said, "Don't tell anyone that I told you that."
"Police???" The female lawyer's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, then she calmed down. She looked around and found that several people looked at her. She calmed down and said, "What right did they have to search my bag? Did they take anything?"
"They are police officers...what can I do..." The man continued, "The things were not taken away."
"Thank you very much!" The lawyer said casually. She knew it was not about the coffee shop, so she quickly walked back to the bar, put her bag on her back, and then said to the bar staff who followed her: "I want to see your surveillance."
"I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't just look at the surveillance cameras here." The bar staff said helplessly.
"Let me tell you, the actions of these police officers may be illegal. I can go to the court to apply for documents." The lawyer said, "Or I can bring a letter of introduction from our unit..."
"Just bring your application documents." The bartender would not recognize letters of introduction from law firms.
"Okay." The lawyer was a little angry and left angrily.
…
Opposite the coffee shop, four people were looking in the direction of the coffee shop in a Wuling Hongguang. After only three or four minutes, the female lawyer walked out with an angry look on her face.
"Is this method really feasible?" Wang Liang asked, "It would be troublesome if the lawyer found out who we are."
"Heh... it's new that the court can listen to the law firm's reports." Wang Huadong didn't care: "I turned off her recorder and saved the recording file. If she looks carefully, she can find the copied records. As a lawyer, illegally collecting evidence in this situation can be considered as mutual leverage. The problem is that the leverage she has against us is false."
Although not a lot was recorded in the recording, the first two sentences of the conversation with Bai Song were still recorded.
"Stop joking," Bai Song said to Wang Huadong, "Why don't you ask the front desk staff to tell the lawyer that her bag was searched? Will it be exposed?"
"Impossible," Wang Huadong said, "The bar staff sees so many different kinds of people all day long, so who wouldn't be a good actor?"
“Then he won’t tell the lawyer about this, right?” Wang Liang was still a little uncertain.
"I gave him a 200 yuan tip. What good would it do for him to tell the truth? He just told the lawyer that we searched her bag and told the truth and followed the rules. He still earned a favor from the lawyer." Wang Huadong disagreed: "I just don't know, Captain Bai, can this money be reimbursed?"
"You are from Team 4, go find your captain." Bai Song curled his lips. 200 yuan? Haha, this is a joke!
No one has reimbursed him for the cup of coffee he just ordered!
“I knew it…” Wang Huadong didn’t really care.
"That's enough. Just be content. This is my way of expressing my attitude." Bai Song sighed to the sky, "Eight hundred thousand is gone just like that."
The lawyer was definitely not stupid. After this incident, she understood that Bai Song was definitely delaying time and was in cahoots with the police outside. He didn't want to talk about any contract with her.
But most importantly, she understood that this approach would not work. Moreover, the police already had a lot of clues, so she had to talk to Tian Huan and confess.
According to Article 12 of the "Regulations on the Management of Lawyer Service Fees", it is prohibited to implement risk agency fees in criminal cases. In other words, the lawyer did not sign a risk agency agreement with Tian Huan. (Note 1)
However, the fee Tian Huan paid her was not low, and he also promised her a commission for the sale of the property - 200,000 yuan.
In other words, as long as the house can be unfrozen, Tian Huan will entrust her to sell it and give her a commission of 200,000 yuan.
I guess even the Bar Association cannot confirm whether this counts as risk agency, after all, it is only verbal.
"Isn't it a bad idea to use this lawyer in this way?" Ren Xu, the newbie, said weakly. He watched it from beginning to end, and although he knew that the design was brilliant, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Wang Liang and Wang Huadong were about to say something when Bai Song said directly, "You are right. It's just that this case is too important to me. For the truth, I am willing to give everything."
Ren Xu looked at Bai Song's eyes and seemed to understand what Bai Song was going to say next, which must be "even at the cost of my life."
Bai Song paused and said, "I don't have any prejudice against lawyers. They are also an indispensable part of the legal system. My girlfriend may become a lawyer in the future. Well, she will probably be an excellent lawyer."
"Okay, okay, I get it, Captain Bai." Ren Xu nodded: "But why are you showing off your affection..."

…
Note 1: Risk agency is generally understood as winning the case and paying the attorney's fee. Generally, the attorney will be very attentive in this type of agency, but the fee will also be very high. For a contract dispute of 10 million yuan, the attorney can charge a maximum of 3 million yuan at one time for risk agency.
