Chapter 201: Chapter 103: They Seem to Have Come Prepared! (Silver Alliance Bonus)_4
Either Zhao Lixiang had deceived the system, or his wife was especially familiar with relevant laws!
Old Tang closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, "Zhao Lixiang, let me be honest with you, your current situation is very dangerous. Let me ask clearly, if the other party wants to settle with you through judicial reconciliation, would you agree?"
"After agreeing, you'll definitely be guilty; you might be sentenced to probation. Would you accept that?"
It was essential to confirm such matters with the client first; otherwise, while he was still making efforts on the outside, if he showed weakness on the inside, what would be the point?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lixiang replied without hesitation, "Lawyer Tang, I may indeed be a bit slow, but I know for certain that it was that bitch who framed me; otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up here!"
"The police asked me several times, and I didn't admit to anything. It was consensual; how could it be rape?"
"That's fine, sign this power of attorney first." Old Tang pulled out the power of attorney from his bag.
Normally, if you were in detention and wanted to appoint a lawyer, you'd have your family members commission a lawyer to visit you, and then you'd fill out the power of attorney during the visit.
After all, the commissioning was ultimately done by the client.
If family members couldn't be contacted, you could ask the detention center to contact the public security organs, which would then contact a law firm to find a lawyer for you.
The right to defense is one of the most basic rights; the public security organs can't refuse a suspect who asks for a lawyer. This is a procedural issue.
After signing the first power of attorney, Zhao Lixiang saw Old Tang take out a second one.
"Visits aren't easy to come by. You don't have a lawyer for your divorce case yet; let me handle it for you all at once. If you're worried, you can sign a risk mandate; I have no issues with that."
Looking at the power of attorney in front of him, Zhao Lixiang did not hesitate.
"Lawyer Tang, do whatever you see fit; I have no problems with it. I trust you with the case."
Being famous certainly has its perks. At least now, when Old Tang takes on cases, clients rarely resist; they trust him implicitly.
After asking a few other questions, Old Tang ended the visit.
Before leaving, he reminded the other party never to admit to anything during the interrogation; it was crucial!
As he chatted with the guards on his way out of the detention center and drove home, Old Tang began to think carefully about where to break through in this case.
The reason he took on the divorce case as well was that he wanted to find out who this woman Kang Xinxin really was.
Her series of actions indicated that not only was she extremely knowledgeable about criminal law, but she also had a particular understanding of sexual assault-related criminal practices.
What circumstances would likely lead to a case being filed by the public security organs, and when criminal detention might occur.
This initial investigation process is not something many people are familiar with, not even some lawyers, because often there are differences between the regulations in the books and the reality.
Only those who have followed through on criminal cases would have a clearer understanding.
So now, the first step was to get a copy of the summons and related evidence received by Zhao Lixiang.
After some thought, Old Tang made a phone call.
"Hello, is this Ms. Kang Xinxin? Oh, I am Zhao Lixiang's divorce attorney."
At the other end, in Zhao Lixiang's house, Kang Xinxin, who was doing her makeup, immediately lost her smile upon hearing Zhao Lixiang's name: "Do you know he's been arrested by the police? When did he hire you as his lawyer?"
Over the phone, Old Tang laughed and said, "I was hired by his parents. They heard that there's still a divorce lawsuit between you and Zhao Lixiang, so they commissioned me."
"What do you want from me?"
"I was wondering if you were at home. Zhao Lixiang's copy of the complaint and the corresponding evidence are at home..."
"I don't know, don't ask me!" Kang Xinxin said, and with a snap, hung up the phone.
Does this person have a problem with their brain, how could they possibly help him.
At the other end of the phone, Old Tang listened to the busy signal and laughed again; he could now be sure of one thing, Kang Xinxin had a big issue!
The more contradictory her behavior was before and after, the more it indicated there was a problem inside.
But everything required evidence; unfounded claims were not acceptable.
It's not a problem if the copy of the complaint was gone; he could still request another from the court.
Being drunk was not an easy situation to handle, but fortunately, it was a drunken case; if Zhao Lixiang had been into S&M, the situation would have been even more severe.
Full of scars and having had intercourse, he wouldn't even want to take on such cases...
