In this way, Zhao Yizhe made people feel very calm and said: "Don't be in a hurry to eat. I'll tell you two about the situation first."
After hearing what he said, Qiu Shi and Luan Meimei both looked at each other seriously. I heard Zhao Yizhe pat the document bag on the table next to him, and then said: "These days, I have basically understood the entire case. Then, I met a few friends. They are all from the judicial department. Among them, they have to do with the prison. I also met my friend. I explained the matter clearly to him, but it’s still not easy to handle now.”
"Ah?" Luan Meimei is a woman after all, more emotional, and said anxiously: "Lawyer Zhao, is it impossible for our family Qiu Qiu to commute his sentence?"
"Hey." Zhao Yizhe waved his hand and said: "Don't get me wrong, it's not that it can't be done, but it will take some time to arrange it. After all, I have only been here for five days in the special city, and I just met a friend. Friends are more respectable. , the result of the negotiation is also relatively good. So arranging commutation of sentence also requires time to prepare, right? In addition... it is necessary to arrange this kind of thing more strictly and secretly. And the stricter and more secretive, then It will take relatively more time and financial resources. Are you two right? Therefore, madam, there is no need to worry. "
When Luan Meimei heard, "Friends still give me face, and the result of the negotiation is good." She was naturally relieved. And what Zhao Yizhe said is the same. After all, this kind of thing must be arranged carefully and cannot be made public, so it will naturally take longer.
Qiu Shi also understood this and asked: "Then...Lawyer Zhao, how long will it take? In addition, if the matter is completed, how long can Qiu Qiu's sentence be reduced?"
Zhao Yizhe paused, thought for a moment, and said: "My friends and I have also discussed the questions you asked in detail. But please forgive me, Mr. and Mrs. Xian. We have estimated that it will take the next few months to arrange the commutation of the sentence." Complete. As I just said, this matter cannot be publicized. The fewer people know about it, the better, and the arrangements must be smart and rigorous. Therefore, this time cost cannot be saved.
The second question is how long Qiu Qiu can reduce his sentence. According to the arrangements, we can only shorten his sentence as much as possible. But as a rough estimate, it’s about a year. Maybe more, maybe less. But generally speaking, a reduced sentence of about one year can still be achieved.
And if Qiu Qiu performs well in it...more than five months? It will be ready in about half a year at most. Even less. This depends on how to arrange the commutation of the sentence and what the commutation of the sentence is. It's really impossible to say too accurately now. "
After hearing this, Qiu Shi nodded and said: "I understand, then... can you ask Lawyer Zhao's friends to help more, and try your best to make the arrangements for specific matters more... more appropriate. So that Qiu Qiu can make a little more contributions or something." At this point, he seemed to have remembered something, lifted up the briefcase he had brought, and took out a small wooden box from it.
After handing it to Zhao Yizhe, Qiu Shi said, "This will cause a lot of trouble for Lawyer Zhao."
Zhao Yizhe reached out to take it generously and pulled out a section of the upper drawer. He saw that it was filled with a whole layer of golden yellow croakers. After closing the drawer, he said: "Mr. Qiu is too polite. I have said before that you can only charge after the matter is completed." After saying that, he returned the box.
"Oops." Qiu Shi stretched out his hand to block it and said: "Lawyer Zhao, I know this is your rule, but if you meet friends, have a meal, drink some tea, etc., I can let you Pay the money directly? Then I, Mr. Qiu, am too rude. You must take it. In addition, don’t you have to ask your friend, Lawyer Zhao, to help? This will make the commutation of the sentence smoother and more successful. Some credit.”
After saying this, Qiu Shi smiled and said: "Besides, our legal fees have not been paid yet. If you are so helpful, I, Mr. Qiu, will definitely thank you very much afterwards."
Zhao Yizhe smiled, no longer insisted, and said: "Okay, then I will accept it. Mr. Qiu, Madam. In this way, today we go to the seventh prison first. I need to give you good instructions. Then, I will My friends and I will make good arrangements, and I can’t guarantee anything else. However, I will definitely try my best to maximize the commutation of your son’s sentence to the best of my ability.”
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Qiu Shi and Luan Meimei felt a little relieved again. Qiu Shi said: "Then...Lawyer Zhao, let's go to dinner first, and then go to the Seventh Prison?"
"Okay. Please wait a moment, both of you." After Zhao Yizhe said that, he turned and entered the back room of the suite. When he came out, the wooden box was gone. Said: "Okay, let's go out now."
Everyone went downstairs. Qiu Shi first invited Zhao Yizhe to have a meal in the restaurant below. During the dinner, they inevitably talked about Qiu Qiu. Zhao Yizhe reassured them and revealed to them some "inside information" that he had thought up over the past few days. Finally, I told them not to worry too much. When I arrange things with my friends, I will communicate with Qiu Shi and his wife in time about the progress and other situations.
After finishing eating and drinking, after leaving the Peace Hotel, Zhao Yizhe got into the car of Qiu Shi and his wife and headed all the way to Xiangfang.
In less than half an hour, the car had arrived at the Seventh Prison.
Zhao Yizhe looked out of the car window and saw that the car had reached the outside of the city, and the prison gate happened to be facing the field. It can be said that there is a vast plain as far as the eye can see. Within a hundred meters, there is no obstruction.
After the car parked, everyone got out of the car, right in front of the prison gate. Of course, parking was not allowed at the prison gate, and the parking lot was already parked on the roadside about thirty meters away. Zhao Yizhe followed Qiu Shi and Luan Meimei as they walked forward and arrived.
Just at the gate, there is a large iron gate that opens in half, and a square watchtower is connected to the left side of the large iron gate. There is a lookout whistle on the watchtower, and there are two machine gun holes on the tower facing the outside.
On the right side of the big iron gate is a guard box, and inside the guard box are two police officers wearing Puppet Manchukuo police uniforms. In addition, there was a police officer standing outside the watchtower. A gun slung across the body.
Zhao Yizhe noticed that the sentry on the watchtower on the left was a Japanese soldier wearing a shit-yellow military uniform. So does that mean that those guarding that watchtower are little Japs? The people responsible for the inspection and management at the gate are the Puppet Manchukuo prison guards.
