Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Inside the Criminal Investigation Division of Green Forest City.

The police station was quite quiet at 2:30 pm, with few people around. Of course, this was partly because it was the criminal investigation unit, which only handled criminal cases.

At this moment, there were hardly any people in the police station lobby, only the hum of the air conditioner could be heard, making it feel unusually cold. The police officers at the reporting reception window were chatting idly.

In a daze.

"Knock knock knock~"

When someone knocked on the window, the police officer immediately stopped and looked up to see a middle-aged woman standing in front of him.

It was Liu Yu who had just come out of the detention center after meeting with Zhang Cheng!

"Hello, officer, is this the place to report a crime?" Liu Yu asked softly.

As she spoke, a hint of fear flickered across her face as she looked at the police station in front of her, after all, what she was about to do was truly shocking.

The police officers didn't notice anything amiss and simply nodded in agreement.

"This is the police station. You can just tell me what's wrong."

talking.

The officer paused, then asked with a puzzled look:

"You...have a case to handle? Civil or criminal? This is the criminal investigation team, not a police station."

"If you need to mediate a conflict, I suggest you go to the local police station first; they'll be much faster."

Upon hearing this...

Liu Yu quickly waved her hand, denying it: "No...it's not a civil case, it's a criminal case!"

criminal?

The police officer, with a serious expression, sat inside the window, pulled out a pen and paper, and began to speak formally:

"What kind of criminal case?"

Liu Yu had a rough draft in her mind. Her palms were sweating, and she unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes. Her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat, and her breathing was rapid.

She said, "I...I'm going to call the police; someone is raping me!"

Rape!?

After the two words were spoken.

The police officer at the reception window paused slightly, then his heart tightened.

This rape case is no longer a minor one.

If not handled properly, such cases could lead to murder and have extremely negative social impact, potentially causing a public outcry.

"Are you a victim?"

The police officer looked at Liu Yu with a serious expression, spoke a little faster, and then looked around.

"Do you need your privacy protected? We can go to the inquiry room."

Although there was no one around, the enclosed and confined space for questioning could help the victim remain calm and think more logically.

but......

"No need," Liu Yu shook her head.

Seeing this, the police officer was somewhat suspicious. He glanced at the man from head to toe, thinking to himself, "So calm?"

To be honest, the psychological trauma from rape is greater than the physical trauma.

Therefore, most victims are in a state of mental instability when they report the crime.

But the person in front of me not only has a clear mind, but also seems...

Still a bit shy!

The police officer seemed a little confused, but still continued to ask, "Could you briefly describe how the crime was committed?"

After saying that, he pulled out the pen cap.

Liu Yu calmed herself down and slowly said, "It happened two months ago."

Two months ago, no wonder he was so calm; he had already passed through the most extreme period of his mental state.

The police officer was thinking this to himself, and he began to take notes.

"Hmm," the police officer said, "and then?"

Liu Yu swallowed hard, her throat bobbing, "The time was June 13, 2003, from 10:30 pm to 11 pm."

"The perpetrator is a 47-year-old male, 1.8 meters tall, of normal build, and of above-average appearance."

"He had drunk a lot of alcohol at the time of the incident, and after drinking, he started to grope me... I didn't want to, but he forced himself on me..."

Rape while intoxicated?

The policeman perked up and wrote even faster.

This is a very common form of rape!

"Specifically?"

The police officer asked sternly, "Where exactly did this happen? Are there any CCTV cameras nearby?"

Liu Yu thought for a moment, then shook her head in response.

There are no security cameras.

"The location is Room 603, Building B, Yongfu Community, Nanshan District, Lvsen City."

Yongfu Residential Complex... Building B... Room 603!?

As the police officer listened, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face, and he exclaimed in shock:

"She was raped inside the room!?"

Liu Yu clenched her fist and nodded. "It's inside the house."

"Is this your house!?"

"It's...it's my home."

The police officer was shocked. "Incredibly audacious!"

Most rapes take place outdoors, such as in dimly lit alleys or parks without streetlights.

If the crime occurred indoors, and specifically in the victim's home...

Then, rape would become a "home invasion robbery"!

If there is no property left at the scene, it could even be considered burglary, and the nature of such crimes is extremely serious, requiring severe punishment!

Judging from what the other party said...

The victim explicitly refused the other party's request, yet was still violently assaulted, even in the other party's home, which constitutes the most serious level of rape.

"Okay, Ms. Liu, we understand. We will send you a receipt later."

The officer's face was serious. Without hesitation, he turned his head extremely quickly, looked to his side, picked up something, and said:

"Captain Li, Captain Li, a resident has come to the police station to report a case. According to the description, the case is extremely serious and requires urgent investigation. The identity of the defendant/suspect is relatively clear..."

His serious attitude was evident from his expression.

This is normal.

Even within the criminal world, there is a hierarchy of contempt among criminals.

For example, a murderer might look down on intentional injury, and when the two meet, the latter will frantically try to please the former.

Intentionally causing harm, yet looking down on fighting and brawling.

At the very bottom of the social hierarchy are... trafficking in women and children, and... rape!

Even in prison or detention center, if the other inmates in the cell hear that you were brought in through human trafficking or rape, they will definitely target you on purpose!

Even criminals are like this.

Not to mention the police!

"Okay, Captain Li, the person who called the police is in the lobby, please come here."

The police officer reported a series of events, and then asked Liu Yu to sit down.

A short while later, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

Liu Yu turned and went inside, only to see several police officers coming down the stairs quickly, which looked like half a squad.

And the person in charge... was none other than police officer Li Xiang!

That is, the middle-aged, thin policeman that Xu De encountered when he handled the "Lijiacun Case" and the "18th Middle School Case".

Li Xiang rushed downstairs in a hurry, his voice preceding his arrival.

Where is the person who reported the incident?

Liu Yu stood up instinctively.

The police officer spoke first, "Captain Li, this is the person who called the police."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang shifted his gaze to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu has a gentle appearance. Although she is over forty years old, she has a delicate charm that fits part of the profile of rape victims.

"Ms. Liu, I have a general understanding of the case."

"Rest assured, once the facts of the case are confirmed, a criminal case will definitely be filed, and the harm you have suffered will be dealt with fairly!"

Police officer Li Xiang, dressed in his uniform, had a serious expression and spoke with utmost seriousness.

He seemed much more decisive and efficient, and his words were filled with a strong sense of righteous indignation.

Then he said again:

"However, Ms. Liu, the police still have some questions regarding the victim's identity."

"I need you to explain further... Of course, rest assured, if you wish, the case will be handled anonymously and will not be made public."

"Even if it goes to court, it will be a closed case, and the case will not be tried in public."

"So what is the problem...?"

Li Xiang paused for a moment, then suddenly spoke:

"First... what is your relationship with the suspect?"

After she finished speaking, Li Xiang stared at her intently. Although she didn't say anything, a number of thoughts were already running through his mind.

First of all, judging from the fact that the other party knew the identity in such detail, they must know the person.

If Liu Yu did not report the rape to the police for two months, then she must have had something she couldn't say. Based on experience, if she didn't receive compensation, then she was coerced!

Is it a colleague? A neighbor? Or a boss at work?

Just as Li Xiang was lost in thought, in a daze...

Liu Yu said, "He's my husband."

In a daze.

Everyone was stunned, frozen in place, their minds blank.

Husband...?

The group looked up at Liu Yu, who seemed to be telling the truth.

Liu Yu thought for a moment, then quickly added a sentence.

"Oh, on the 13th, someone also said that my husband raped her."

"That person's name is Zhang Qian, she is my adopted daughter."

There are...there are still experts!?

Adopted daughter? Wife? Rape?

These few words contained a wealth of information, and for a moment, everyone in the emergency call center fell silent.

Police officer Li Xiang: ?

Police officer: ???

......

......

8 month 6 day.

Inside the Zhenghe Law Firm in Green Forest City.

"Attorney Zhang, you have to help me. I really don't know how to go on living. Sometimes I even think about dying."

"What am I going to do now? Who would want me... I don't even know how to tell my boyfriend!"

Inside Zhenghe Law Firm.

The plaintiff in the case, Zhang Qian, was sitting in the waiting room, sobbing, looking at her lawyer with a sincere tone.

She is the plaintiff, and the charges are criminal, but her purpose is not to have the defendant criminally punished.

It's civil compensation!

Therefore, this case is also a criminal case with attached civil litigation for compensation. Since there is a civil litigation part, there must be a civil litigation lawyer representing the plaintiff.

And the lawyer in front of me...

It was none other than Zhang Wei, the top lawyer in Green Forest City!

Zhang Wei, a lawyer who once demonstrated near-red-circle lawyer-level legal reasoning skills in a short period of time during the "18 Cases"!

To be honest, Zhang Wei is a gold medalist, and theoretically he wouldn't accept civil lawsuits.

But no way.

Zhenghe Law Firm is currently facing increasingly difficult operating conditions. There are no major criminal cases, the local financial development is not good, and many of its staff have been poached.

so......

Even a brothel madam, when business is bad, still has to go to the bar herself.

and so.

Zhang Wei took on this civil case... but only for money.

In the waiting room.

Zhang Wei looked up and glanced at the family of three in front of him, all working together.

Besides Zhang Qian, there was another couple... They were thin and had somewhat pointed faces and slanted eyes.

The middle-aged woman said:

"Attorney Zhang, we initially thought that the family treated the child well."

"I thought my child had found a good family, which is why I never acknowledged the child with that couple. Who would have thought, who would have thought they would do something like this!"

She is Zhang Qian's biological mother.

The other is the father.

The two of them didn't have any jobs, and they relied entirely on Zhang Qian to get money from Zhang Cheng and his wife to spend on their daily lives.

Zhang Cheng and Liu Yu are not middle class, but they are quite well-off, given their education and comfortable living conditions.

Now that the two sides have fallen out and there is no source of income, Zhang Qian's family is in a great hurry.

And so... the case of false accusation came about!

If we succeed, we'll skin Zhang Cheng alive, if not die! Even if we don't get the house, we can still get tens of thousands!

What? You mean you have no conscience doing this? After all...

"Ms. Zhang, I still have a question for you."

"Are you sure you want to claim the highest level of compensation?"

Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Qian in front of him and slowly said:

"After all, no matter what... the other party raised you for 18 years and never mistreated you."

Unexpectedly, after these words were spoken...

Zhang Qian spoke frankly:

"What do you mean by raising them? They're not my biological parents! They're not related by blood!"

As she spoke, she became impatient, her breath hot, her eyes burning with desire, and asked:

"Attorney Zhang, if I win this case... I really can get at least 100,000?"

Upon hearing this...

Zhang Wei shook his head inwardly.

He felt somewhat helpless.

The case doesn't seem quite right, but there's nothing we can do about it; that's what lawyers do.

If customers have needs, they will still try to resolve them; that's considered professional ethics.

As for determining whether the client is at fault... that's a matter for the courts, not for the lawyers.

Furthermore.

In this case, Zhang Wei was only responsible for collecting money in the civil prosecution. If the prosecutor and the court believed that the defendant was innocent, then he would not get a single penny.

If there's an error?

If a conviction is made, then it is naturally not against one's conscience.

In short...

"I can try to help you get it," Zhang Wei said.

100,000 is a lot of money, but if this case is decided, it will have a certain negative moral impact, so we can ask for more money, and the judge will take it into consideration.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qian was extremely excited.

One hundred thousand!

That's a whopping 100,000!

As for what will happen to Zhang Cheng and Liu Yu after they take the money?

This was none of her business. After all, the other party wasn't her biological parents; to her, they were just two familiar strangers, and these strangers had even exposed their money bags to her...

It would be against her conscience not to take the money!

Zhang Qian was very excited, and the fervor in her eyes gradually turned into greed.

If... I made it sound even worse, then... wouldn't the other party be able to pay even more?

Thinking this, she raised her head and looked at Zhang Wei, but didn't rush to speak, only pursing her lips.

Zhang Wei then took out his phone and dialed the detention center's number.

"Beep beep beep~"

The dial tone sounded.

He needs to schedule an appointment to meet with Zhang Cheng and then discuss the matter.

A moment later, with a "beep", the call was connected.

"Hello? This is Zhang Wei, a lawyer from Zhenghe Law Firm. We're dealing with the detention center..."

Zhang Wei was speaking into the loudspeaker.

For some reason, Zhang Wei's expression suddenly froze, and then a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Really...really!?"

"Huh? Hmm? Well... okay, I understand."

"Okay, I won't bother you any longer."

"Beep beep~"

The phone hangs up.

Zhang Wei sat upright on the sofa, a dazed expression on his face, completely stunned.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Qian's family became anxious, wondering what had happened.

Zhang Qian hurriedly asked, "Attorney Zhang, Attorney Zhang, please say something! Have you managed to get an appointment?"

I heard a noise.

Zhang Wei snapped out of his daze, looked at the person in front of him, pursed his lips, and his expression gradually became strange.

"No, the defendant's appointments are booked recently."

A reservation has been made? That means someone else is already seeing you!?

"What happened?" Zhang Qian was stunned.

Zhang Wei said, "The detention center said... the defendant Zhang Cheng raped not only you on the night of the 13th, but there was another victim."

As he spoke, he pursed his lips.

"We have to wait in line to schedule a meeting."

Zhang Qian: ? ? ?

Suddenly, a look of astonishment appeared on Zhang Qian's face.

Queuing... in line!?

......

P.S.: I recommend a book, "I Can Load Old Settings".

Chapter Two will be released at noon.
