What's wrong with this lawyer?!

This guy is a typical programmer at first glance, and if he wore a plaid shirt, there would be no question.

Here's a fun fact: while in detention, you're still just a criminal suspect. It's only after you're convicted and sent to prison that you can be considered a criminal and wear prison garb.

In other words, you can't just wear a prison uniform whenever you want.

At the detention center, you wear your own clothes, and for those who truly can't provide their own, the detention center supplies them based on "Detention Center Regulations" Article 24—it's kind of a trivial piece of knowledge...

Zhao Lixiang seemed to perk up at the mention of that name and hurriedly said, "Tang Fangjing, are you the Tang Fangjing who got hit by the dump truck?"

This guy really didn't have much EQ, talking like that.

But Old Tang didn't care; when he spoke he could be even more unpleasant, especially since he'd gotten the system, he really couldn't be bothered to exchange words with others.

It's just a pity, President Lei was forgotten so soon. In the past, people would ask if he was the Lawyer Tang who got stabbed by the construction company boss.

Now there's the dump truck and President Wang, out with the old, in with the new, and President Lei is already being forgotten. What a pity...

"Then I guess that's me. But Zhao Lixiang, now's not the time to talk about this. I have to remind you that I'm here to see you because your parents paid for it."

"So let's try to stick to the essentials, okay?"

Zhao Lixiang nodded eagerly. He really had wanted to pour his heart out upon meeting the lawyer, but Lawyer Tang across from him looked too professional.

Old Tang had no desire to console an adult. Liu Yan was a friend's daughter, and still a young girl at that. A few comforting words and being called "Uncle Tang" would definitely feel good, but this man? What's the point in consoling him!

"Let's do this. I'll ask, and you'll answer. First, I want to know, why did you two get a divorce?" Old Tang spoke again.

Zhao Lixiang replied, "Lawyer Tang, to be honest, I have no idea why she wanted a divorce. I thought we had a good life."

"We were even planning on having kids a few months ago, then all of a sudden she said she couldn't take it anymore and wanted a divorce. I couldn't figure out why."

"Then one day last month, I came home and suddenly received a subpoena from the court. She had gone straight to the court to sue. Lawyer Tang, I was already..."

He was interrupted by Old Tang before finishing: "Your thoughts at that time aren't important. Now, I'll ask you again, what were the circumstances when you two first had relations?"

"Where did it happen, did you approach her, or did she approach you?"

He was a lawyer, not a counselor, and besides, he had to go for regular counseling himself...

"Lawyer Tang, after she sued, she said she was feeling down, and suggested we live apart for a while so she could think things over," Zhao Lixiang said.

"So I thought maybe she really was feeling upset and rented a place near my company to stay in awhile."

"There were a few times she called me to come home to discuss the divorce, mainly about dividing up the property... I don't know why, but she had a lot of debts."

"So a few days ago she told me to come over, and when I did, she said she shouldn't have brought up divorce and had prepared food and drinks. We both drank quite a bit, and then..."

"The next morning, she got up before me and called the police, claiming I raped her. Lawyer Tang, I was still asleep then, and they took me away directly. I'm innocent, Lawyer Tang!"

Finally, a smile appeared on Old Tang's face—not because of this man, but because his system panel was finally showing some activity.

Mission objective: Teach the unscrupulous wife a lesson using legal means.

It wasn't easy. Good thing he followed up on this case, or he would have missed this mission.

"So let me get this straight for you: she suddenly brings up divorce out of nowhere, goes on to sue you, and you don't agree, right? Then you were forced to leave home."

"You met a few times but never had a proper talk. The last time you got together to discuss things, it seemed like you were patching things up, had some drinks, had relations, and then she called the cops on waking up claiming rape, right?"

Zhao Lixiang nodded.

Without the system panel, Old Tang wouldn't have completely believed Zhao Lixiang's story because, according to the legal industry standards, the guy probably couldn't afford even the lawyer's fee given the divorce.

And yet he's out there making money every day.

Modern marriage laws are just so frustrating. Just take a look at the marriage and family section of the Civil Code, and you'll find that most of it concerns property regulations.

So the result of legal education is that men and women share a bed with different dreams, each with their own thoughts, everyone afraid of getting short-changed.

But now with the system, at least it shows that Zhao Lixiang definitely had no intention of raping!

However, rape cases usually depend heavily on testimony, especially when the other party was drunk—it's very easy to be deemed rape!

"Do you have any chat records from when you two were in contact?" Old Tang asked once more.

Zhao Lixiang shook his head: "We spoke on the phone, and when she called me home, it was to discuss dividing the property."

Man, even Old Tang was surprised—she had come prepared!

Phone calls to discuss property division, no chat records, then a shift to a friendly approach upon arrival, dinner, drinks, tipsy state, and a couple who hadn't done that in a long time.

In such a state, even if the honorable Lu Jiuyuan came along, it would be difficult.

Waking up to a police report without hesitation, it looks like all the evidence was straightforward, so the public security authorities directly issued criminal detention.
