Turns out these people had all left the Little Station and established a base of their own. No wonder he couldn’t find them.
The Soul Cleansing Zone no longer favored poetry and prose; it had shifted to ancient sayings and aphorisms. Netizens in the Becoming a Better Person Zone were still trading all sorts of jokes, defiant and unyielding as ever.
What interested him the most... was the Study Law Alliance Zone.
A group of netizens gathered here, specifically studying various knowledge related to criminal law. For instance, the courier theft case this ti included five potential charges, along with their case filing standards, sentencing standards, judicial interpretations, and so on.
There were even posts specifically debating whether cutting up an ID card constituted the cri of insulting the national flag and emblem. And in the replies below, netizens were expressing their own views and conducting analyses.
First floor: Dude! Did the OP forget this cri? Feels like this thief is in for more.
Second floor: It probably doesn’t count. I just specifically checked the law. Although there’s a national emblem on the ID card, this cri has a prerequisite: it must occur in a public place.
Third floor: Here’s the original text. The Criminal Law stipulates: "It constitutes the cri of insulting the national flag and emblem only if, in a public place, the national flag or emblem is insulted by burning, destruction, scribbling, defilent, trampling, etc."
Fourth floor: I even checked the judicial interpretation. For acts without a clear insulting nature, they usually don’t constitute the cri of insulting the national flag and emblem but are categorized under the cri of disrupting public order.
Fifth floor: These types of cris are the hardest to distinguish. I wonder if the OP could use a real case to illustrate it. That would surely leave a lasting impression.
Sixth floor: It’d definitely leave an impression, just a bit hard on the people involved.
Seventh floor...
Qin Mu quickly browsed through these posts. Many netizens had really put in the effort.
In the materials from Xu Leshan’s theft, soone’s ID card had been maliciously cut up. This act... constituted intentional damage to another’s property, not the cri of insulting the national flag and emblem. For the cri of insulting the national flag and emblem, there must be clear intent of insult, provocation, or contempt to warrant punishnt. Most people essentially wouldn’t commit such a cri. It’s often categorized as a cri of disrupting public order. In Criminal Law, there are general categories of cris and specific individual cris. Delving into them deeply is quite complicated. He rarely discussed this type of knowledge in his videos.
Then, he briefly checked other posts in the Study Law Alliance Zone and found many interesting topics.
"Student A developed a grudge against his roommate B due to friction. A hired hoodlum C online to give B a beating. However, C made a mistake, mistook A for B, and A ended up severely injured."
"How should A and C be charged and sentenced?"
Beneath this topic post, many talented netizens chid in with their thoughts.
First floor: Isn’t this obvious? A incited soone to assault B. The injury occurred, so A is an instigator and shares the sa guilt as the perpetrator. C committed intentional injury.
Second floor: That’s not right. A told C to beat up B, but C didn’t actually beat B, right? So, for B, shouldn’t it be attempted intentional injury?
Third floor: I don’t think it’s that simple. A is the actual instigator but also the victim. So, if he was beaten up, who would he sue?
Fourth floor: Sue myself?
Fifth floor: Ridiculous! Who ca up with this question?
Sixth floor: So, are you saying that if A doesn’t sue himself, then hoodlum C doesn’t have to take any responsibility?
Seventh floor: So A just got beaten up for nothing?
Eighth floor: Can any expert provide a real-life explanation? How do you handle a case like this involving severe injury? Is C primarily responsible?
Ninth floor...
After reading this question, Qin Mu felt his scalp tingle. You’d need ten years of cerebrovascular blockage to even think of a question like that!
"See? The questions on here are just absurd!" Wang Dachui exclaid, glancing at Qin Mu’s phone, his indignation flaring up again. Clearly, he had been tornted by these questions before.
Qin Mu nodded in agreent. These questions... were indeed sowhat twisted. He couldn’t sort out the logic behind them in a short amount of ti either.
In fact, in reality, there were cases far more absurd than these. So lower courts, upon receiving such cases, simply didn’t dare to try them. When faced with overly bizarre and complex cases, they often reported them to the Supre Court, leaving it for the Supre Court to resolve.
「At six in the afternoon.」
Qin Mu had been slacking off all afternoon, lingering in the Study Law Alliance forum.
There was considerable talent in the forum. Besides the jokers, the most nurous were those "earnestly" researching bizarre cases.
In their words... understanding the law ant they didn’t have to worry about getting locked up.
"Ti to clock out." Qin Mu thought, watching the clock. He gathered his things, getting ready to leave when suddenly, he saw Zhang Qingyuan and Li Weiguo running towards him, panting heavily.
"Xiao Qin, Xiao Qin! Bad news! Old Song’s been arrested!" The two of them, leaning on their crutches, ca jogging over, urgency written all over their faces.
Qin Mu tensed up as well. "What happened? Who arrested him?"
Zhang Qingyuan gasped for breath. After a mont, he said haltingly, "He... he was arrested by the police. They said... said he’s suspected in a homicide case..."
Qin Mu’s brows suddenly knitted into a deep frown. How could this be? he thought, utterly perplexed. Old Song, Song Tiancheng, loved fishing. He was usually robust and healthy, often taking walks in the park near the nursing ho when he had free ti. But he was in his seventies. How could he possibly be connected to a homicide?
"Slow down, don’t rush," Qin Mu said, taking a deep breath and turning to Li Weiguo beside him.
