Is stealing feces illegal?

"Lu Fan, to be honest, we wouldn't bother taking on such a simple case. A fraud case like yours, with transfer records, any lawyer could handle it with their eyes closed."

Although Liu Xiaoyan said this, she still called a technician to take Lu Fan's phone and copy the data.

"Sister Liu, you're saying a girl tricked me into a fight, then stole my supercar worth over four million, and then scammed me out of over two million in cash. If I pursue this, what kind of price will the other party have to pay?"

As Lu Fan spoke, his eyes flickered towards Liu Ruyan, who was sitting on the guest sofa nearby. Liu Ruyan's delicate body trembled, and a look of nervousness appeared on her face.

"Tricked you into a fight?"

Liu Xiaoyan stared at Lu Fan's chest, dumbfounded. With your chest as flat as a tablet, any adult woman could probably beat you.

"Right, Lu Fan, you before..."

"Yes, Sister Liu, I was a genuine idiot before, which is why I was scammed out of everything."

"But... I'm all better now!"

Liu Xiaoyan glanced at Liu Ruyan. With her shrewdness, how could she not see the nervous look on the girl in front of her? She instantly understood.

"Lu Fan, I remember you have certificates from several authoritative hospitals, meaning the law legally recognizes you as an idiot."

"In our Dragon Country's law, your situation would be an aggravating factor. That girl defrauded you of millions using such despicable means; the charges are sky-high."

"If you sue this girl, I have a hundred percent certainty of sending her to jail. How many years she'll get is hard to say, as it depends on various factors, but the minimum is ten years, and it's highly likely to be life imprisonment."

"Ah!"

Liu Ruyan, sitting on the sofa, let out a startled cry. Her delicate and beautiful face instantly turned pale, so pale that her foundation couldn't even cover it.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing her reaction, Lu Fan couldn't help but laugh. This is what they call karma. If you hadn't tried to scam me first, how would I have caught you?

"Sister Liu, I'll give you a list. Sue these people first. Not only did they scam me, but they also insulted, cursed, and bullied me. This isn't just malicious fraud; it's also school bullying."

"These people are tumors in society. I think it's best to send them in to work on sewing machines for a few years as educational labor."

Lu Fan picked up the paper and pen on the table and casually wrote down a string of names. These people were just like Zhu Yiqun, utterly despicable. He had no intention of giving them any leeway.

Moreover, these people would serve as a warning to others. He figured the rest would proactively come to him begging for mercy without him needing to say much.

"Hehehe... Don't worry, little brother Lu Fan. Just for calling me sister, I'll definitely handle everything you've asked for perfectly."

Liu Xiaoyan took the list and put it into the file folder in front of her. Her eyes scanned Lu Fan with interest. She was very curious how an idiot, whom all the hospitals in the world couldn't cure, had suddenly recovered.

"Sister Liu, I heard from Auntie that you're divorced. Are you tempted by my handsome looks? But you're Auntie's best friend, so we need to maintain some boundaries.

However... if you really can't help yourself, Sister Liu, my boundaries can be a little flexible."

"Pfft! Hehehe..."

Liu Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh out loud at Lu Fan's serious yet nonsensical words. How long had it been since someone dared to speak to her like this?

Ten years? Twenty years?

"Lu Fan, I actually find you quite interesting. You can join us when I meet with Sister Lu in the future."

"Let's put the gatherings aside for now, Sister Liu. I actually have a rather unconventional legal question I'd like to consult you about."

Can't find the book title? Try searching for the author's name, maybe they just changed it!

A smile spread across Lu Fan's face. He eagerly anticipated the expression Liu Xiaoyan would have when she heard what he was about to say.

"Sister Liu, I've never really understood the boundaries of the law. Do you think stealing feces is illegal?"

"What did you say?"

Liu Xiaoyan suspected she had misheard and asked blankly.

"Sister Liu, you know I was an idiot before, so my thoughts might be a bit boring and childish."

"Hehehe... Little brother Lu Fan, you really are interesting. Since you've asked, I'll discuss it with you from a legal perspective."

Liu Xiaoyan sat up straighter, her expression instantly returning to a stern and serious demeanor. This made Lu Fan wonder if the mature woman had mastered the art of face-changing.

"Firstly, the word 'steal' in 'stealing feces' implies that you acted without knowledge. Taking something without permission is theft, so it is naturally illegal."

"However, this also depends on the circumstances. For example, if you defecated and didn't flush, and someone secretly went into your house to steal it, that would constitute trespassing and theft."

"But trespassing and theft also have different scenarios. If they took a shovel and scooped up your feces."

"That would be trespassing and theft with a weapon, a more serious charge that could lead to imprisonment. The specific sentence would depend on the judge."

"If they grabbed your feces with their bare hands, the charge would be lighter, usually resulting in detention or public supervision, plus a fine."

Lu Fan stared with wide eyes, dumbfounded, as Liu Xiaoyan spoke utter nonsense with a straight face. He couldn't imagine how such a charming and attractive mature woman could utter such outrageous and unbelievable words.

However, what Liu Xiaoyan said next struck him like lightning, making his head buzz.

"Then, stealing feces also has different classifications. For example, if you defecated outside and it broke off, then that feces is considered abandoned property, and someone picking it up is not illegal."

"But if it didn't break off after you defecated, then it's your private property, and someone taking it would be theft and illegal."

"There's another situation: you defecated and didn't flush, perhaps intending to eat it, but someone came and snatched it to eat."

"In this case, you could have the feces appraised for its value and sue them for compensation. Snatching food is considered robbery, and the specific penalty would depend on the value of the feces."

"Then you would also need to determine if the person who stole your feces had accomplices, whether it was a group effort or a solo act, and if the theft was premeditated or spontaneous."

"If it was a premeditated group crime, then the matter is serious and has already touched upon our country's criminal law."

"If it was a solo act, and he only stole your feces out of unbearable hunger on a whim, then it's understandable, and he'd usually be let go after some education."

"So, whether stealing feces is illegal or not depends on various factors such as the value of the feces, the motive for the crime, and the tools used."

"For example, if your feces contained something valuable, and the amount exceeded three thousand, then it would violate criminal law."

"Or, if your feces were incredibly delicious and highly valuable, to the point of being classified as a precious treasure, then it would be suspected of grand theft and also violate criminal law."

At this point, not only Lu Fan was completely dumbfounded, but Liu Ruyan beside him was even more stunned, her eyes wide and vacant from the shocking words.

"Two lunatics, what kind of decent person discusses feces so seriously!"

"Little Brother Lu Fan, if you feel my explanation isn't thorough enough, I can continue to elaborate. On this single topic, I guarantee I can talk until nightfall without repeating myself."

"No... Sister Liu, I give up. My feces aren't valuable, can we change the subject?"

A dark line appeared on Lu Fan's forehead. He had casually asked a foolish question, only for this woman to turn it into something akin to a thesis.
