Cheng Tianyuan was dumbfounded and stared at her blankly.
I only heard Xue Ling sigh and ask: "When is your flight tomorrow? I will pick you up. By the way, the lawyer I introduced is very professional, one of the best lawyers in the imperial capital, and the advice she provides is very pertinent. I have made an appointment with her tomorrow
Come with me, I hope she can help you."
Not sure what Lao Liu said, Xue Ling lowered his eyes.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to help. You are my old friend. No matter what Xiao Liu has said or done, one thing is the same and I will not mix it up. Okay, you should rest early.
, I will pick you up at the airport at noon tomorrow."
Then she hung up the phone.
She raised her eyes and saw Cheng Tianyuan staring at her with a strange expression, and gave a bitter smile.
"It's Xiao Liu - Liu Xincheng. She has secretly produced and sold pornographic VCDs and DVDs for the past two years, and was caught and locked up by the police. Since there are many people involved in the case, and two are still absconding, the case cannot be finalized yet.
"
"So serious?!" Cheng Tianyuan asked, "Can't we just impose a fine or something?"
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "In order to make a lot of money from one line, she not only hired some people to shoot and post-production secretly, but also sold them to rural areas. She refused to tell the truth about the amount, but the police have found out the money that went in and out of her account.
As many as tens of millions! I heard from lawyer He that this is a serious crime... a conservative estimate would be ten years in prison."
Cheng Tianyuan stared in shock: "So serious?!"
For a citizen who has always abided by the law, such a severe criminal law is really scary!
Xue Ling nodded helplessly: "It's very serious. If a small shop sells a few tickets and the police find out, they should be warned and fined. But her situation is really serious. How can it be fined only one or two thousand yuan?
"
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "What should we do?"
Xue Ling replied: "I am also helpless. Apart from helping to find a lawyer, I really don't know what else I can do. Lao Liu and his eldest son have already rushed to the provincial capital and will fly over tomorrow morning. He said that his daughter has been sending remittances to his family over the years.
He spent a lot of money, but he didn’t spend it much, thinking that his daughter finally made a lot of money. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such money!”
Lao Liu was worried about his daughter. At first he was worried that her academic performance was not outstanding enough, and then he was worried that she would not follow the steps and go to work in a newspaper. Later, his daughter became famous and made a lot of money, but she still refused to get married.
There is such a big fuss now - I guess the old man will have to worry about his gray hair!
Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "Fortunately, she is still a college student who has read poetry and books, how can she do such criminal things!"
Xue Ling shook his head: "She kept persuading me at first, but I refused. Later she quarreled with me, saying that I was too rigid, and said that people who can't exploit small holes will definitely not make big money. I was so angry with her that she
!Later, she insisted on leaving, and I also understood that we don’t agree with each other, so I hurriedly settled the share to her. After she left at the end of that year, she never contacted me again, and there has been no news since then. If it hadn’t been for Lao Liu, I would have
Call me sometime and ask me how I know this."
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "You hurried out earlier to go to the police station to see her?"
"We can't visit her at the moment." Xue Ling explained: "Lawyer He went in to see her and chatted with her for a while. However, Lawyer He said that she refused to plead guilty, and she spoke evasively and hid a lot."
Lawyer He has been dealing with all kinds of cases for more than ten years. He has never seen any kind of person, and he can quickly guess that she may have committed more than just these things.
"Maybe... when the police find out, it may not be as simple as a ten-year prison sentence."
Cheng Tianyuan was frightened and couldn't help but said: "She is only in her thirties, right? Her life like this will be completely ruined! If she is locked up for ten or twenty years, she will be in her fifties when she comes out.
Years old."
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "If you take the wrong path and do something wrong, you must be punished accordingly. She is not a three-year-old child anymore. She cannot be unclear about the consequences of doing such a thing. But she knowingly committed the crime for the sake of greatness
If you do not hesitate to risk your life for profit, then you have to bear the consequences."
Although the consequences of this are too heavy...
Xue Ling whispered: "I don't dare to tell Old Liu too much, for fear that he won't be able to accept it for a while. My children are the heart of the old man. How can I endure such a big thing?"
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at her and asked, "If he doesn't know now, is it possible that he won't know tomorrow? There's no way a comrade in the police wouldn't say it, right?"
"Not so fast." Xue Ling said: "The person who sentences the sentence will be the judge, not the police. Lawyer He told me that if Liu Xincheng did not cooperate and even concealed it from her as a lawyer, then she would definitely not take the case.
, because it is impossible to win this case. The crime committed by Xiao Liu is not minor, and he is the main culprit. The scope of involvement is wide and the impact is extremely bad. In a case like this, at most, you can only plead with the judge appropriately, and there is nothing to defend.
"
Cheng Tianyuan had some impressions of this Lawyer He. He knew that she was not very old, but she was dignified and confident, and her features were full of wisdom.
"If she doesn't take it, then Xiao Liu will be in even more danger. You have to beg as much as possible to let her take the case."
Xue Ling shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that Xiao Liu is still obsessed with it. Not only does she not cooperate, she also conceals something. How can the lawyer help her?"
"Does she have something to hide?" Cheng Tianyuan asked.
Xue Ling was stunned and explained: "If she doesn't tell, how will we know? Her accounts are all blocked now. Unless she turns over all the money and honestly confesses the crime, she should be able to get a lighter sentence."
Cheng Tianyuan said quickly: "Then you have to persuade her."
"If I have a chance to meet him, I will definitely persuade him." Xue Ling explained: "Tomorrow I will accompany Lao Liu to see if I can meet him. It was already evening when we went there tonight. Fortunately, Lawyer He and the police department
If you are familiar with the staff, you can be accommodating and meet in private."
Cheng Tianyuan clicked his tongue twice and shook his head bitterly: "How could a woman with such a bright future end up on such a path of no return?"
"It's just that the charm of money is too great, and she can't resist the temptation." Xue Ling explained: "She is too eager to attack. She looks weak on the outside, but she is very wild at heart."
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Isn't Old Liu such a person? I found him to be a very gentle and honest person."
"The nine sons of dragons are all different." Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "Let alone people! Xiao Liu, a young girl, dared to come from a small county to the imperial capital to conquer the world. It shows that she is very courageous. However, she is too courageous.
It's not a good thing to dare to do anything. A true man may do something or not do something, and you must not do anything that is illegal or morally wrong."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, making that kind of money - I have an uneasy conscience."
"I think so too." Xue Ling sighed, snuggled into his arms, and whispered: "I told her this before, but it's a pity that she refused to listen to me. In just over two years, she actually made a profit
So much money..."
"Illegal gains are not hers after all." Cheng Tianyuan patted her shoulder and said warmly: "Money that is earned too easily can also be lost easily, and there is a price to pay. We would rather earn less and feel more at ease.
Don’t be afraid to apologize to anyone.”
"Yeah." Xue Ling kissed his face, "I'm sleepy, go to bed early."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled fondly, pulled the quilt to cover each other, reached out to turn off the light, closed his eyes and fell asleep slowly.
