Too Bad I Take Things Seriously

Even for petty theft...

I fear Qin Mu could make it into a ten-year prison sentence.

But speaking of which.

The criminal law points Qin Mu raised are completely sound and align with the criminal law framework.

If strictly enforced...

The actions of Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu would indeed constitute a violation of these criminal laws.

"However... the lawyer team from Shanghai is no pushover. They must have rebuttal strategies."

Huang Qinglin nodded slightly and suddenly said.

Because...

The nine lawyers from Shanghai did not show any signs of panic on their faces, seemingly having thought of a response plan.

"Reaching the finals naturally isn't that simple."

Rao Zhengde nodded in agreement.

For Qin Mu to win this trial...

It's absolutely not as simple as before.

At least...

That kind of overwhelming victory seen previously is impossible.

...

Meanwhile.

Inside the mock courtroom.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Mu continued to accuse, "During the rescue process, Zhao Liu abandoned Wang Wu by the roadside. His action... has constituted an act of abandonment and amounts to an obvious intentional murder."

Against Zhao Liu.

He did not look for other charges.

From Zhao Liu's actions, it can be seen that he indeed constituted an offense of omission in stopping halfway through the rescue.

In criminal law.

There is a special provision for criminal nonfeasance; as long as the act leads to serious consequences, it can be culpated according to specific circumstances.

For instance.

Due to Zhao Liu's omission leading to Wang Wu's death, his action was causally related to Wang Wu's death, thus constituting a legal intentional murder.

Even when faced with the top lawyers from Shanghai^

He is confident that he can win the argument on this point.

"Furthermore, Sun Qi..."

Immediately after.

He began to accuse the final suspect.

"Sun Qi, although he had no duty to rescue Wang Wu, took photos and videos when Wang Wu was abandoned by the roadside, and arbitrarily explained the situation to onlookers, obstructing subsequent rescue efforts..."

"His action is causally related to Wang Wu's death, constituting..."

He paused slightly here.

Glancing around.

Opened his mouth again, "constituting the crime of provoking trouble. We believe he should be sentenced to five years in prison and fined administratively..."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The entire courtroom was once again astonished by Qin Mu's accusations.

The Shanghai lawyer team, initially composed, suddenly wore petrified expressions.

"He... he... he's incredibly shameless, isn't he?"

The nine widened their eyes, staring at Qin Mu.

They had imagined various defense strategies Qin Mu might employ, but never expected him to use such a catch-all charge.

This catch-all charge...

Hadn't been used ever since they rose to fame.

Yet undeniably.

This seemingly shameless method of accusation, however, is very effective.

Because provoking trouble is a catch-all clause.

The requirements for its constitution are not high.

Any behavior...

As long as no specific other charge can be found, can be pegged into provoking trouble.

As for Sun Qi's case...

He had no duty to rescue, and causing death by negligence doesn't fit, nor does intentional murder.

"Hiss!! My goodness, this defense strategy is indeed rather shameless, even bringing out provoking trouble, why doesn't he use dangerous methods to endanger public safety?"

"Ahem, didn't he use dangerous methods to endanger public safety when accusing Wang Wu?"

"A heavy sword has no edge, great ingenuity appears clumsy; against Zhao Liu and Sun Qi, these two moves aren't novel, fair and square, they emphasize fundamental defense skills."

"The upcoming defense will be exciting, testing the foundations of both sides."

"..."

On the spectators' bench.

The majority felt emotions, looking forward even more to the upcoming trial.

The Shanghai lawyer team is evidently no pushover.

Defeating them won't be easy for Qin Mu.

One can foresee that it will absolutely be a fierce battle ahead.

"Boom——"

Sure enough.

With the gavel sound from the Judgment Chief.

The nine ace lawyers from Shanghai took the stage one after another to defend Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, Zhao Liu, and Sun Qi.

"We believe that although Zhang San printed counterfeit currency, his technique is immature, just simple copying, and cannot be treated as counterfeit money..."

In response to accusations against Zhang San and others, they decided to take a back-to-basis approach.

Tackling it from the root.

Trying to argue away the counterfeit nature.

As long as Zhang San and others' involvement doesn't constitute counterfeit currency, other charges naturally collapse.

But...

Removing the counterfeit label is also a monumental task.

First of all.

In judicial interpretation, the definition of counterfeit currency is very broad.

It's not just extremely high-level counterfeiting techniques that classify as counterfeit currency.

"Zhao Liu's actions were not intentional murder, but due to family pressure, threatened by his wife, he... his motive wasn't bad; he originally intended to save a life."

"In this process..."

Regarding Zhao Liu's issue.

The Shanghai lawyer group decided to approach it from the perspective of motive and legal interest infringement.

Zhao Liu originally intended to save a life.

Similarly, it was circumstantial that he left the person by the roadside.

Regarding legal interest infringement...

Zhao Liu's actions did not cause any damage.

If he hadn't tried to save the person, Wang Wu was very likely to face death as well.

"Although Sun Qi's actions are morally reprehensible, they did not infringe on legal interests."

Next.

Nine lawyers took turns speaking, arguing that Sun Qi's actions did not harm anyone's interests.

He should not be charged with the crime of provoking trouble.

"Qin Mu, these lawyers... each of them is as skilled as I am."

On the prosecution side.

Zhang Wei looked gravely at the nine people not far away and said with utmost seriousness.

Qin Mu: "..."

With skills comparable to his.

Honestly speaking.

The skill level of these nine surpasses Zhang Wei.

It can be seen from their speeches; quoting references and legal statutes effortlessly.

Unlike typical lawyers.

If he hadn't already memorized all the legal articles, he likely would have been at a loss.

One against nine...

The difficulty is imaginable.

"Boom——"

At this moment.

The Judgment Chief knocked on the gavel and summarized: "The focus of this case is..."

After listing several focal points.

The trial smoothly entered the evidence presentation and examination stage.

Qin Mu immediately pointed out the relevant judicial interpretation regarding counterfeit currency, proving that Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu were indeed implicated in a counterfeit currency case.

Counterfeit currency refers to forged or altered money; forged money imitates real currency patterns, shapes, colors, etc., using various methods to create fake currency.

Altered money means changing the original form of real currency using methods like patching, layer removal, amendment, piecing, repositioning, or reprinting.

These methods naturally include printing techniques.

And altered counterfeit currency...

Refers to extracting parts from real currency and reassembling them to form real currency.

This is often harder to detect.

𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

For example, taking a part from each of 100 one-hundred-yuan bills to make new bills.

Would result in ten new fake one-hundred-yuan bills.

According to bank exchange requirements.

Bills missing less than a quarter can be exchanged for real currency.

This provides an opportunity for many "Zhang San"s.

Many imaginative individuals exploit this loophole for profit...

"Here is Zhao Liu's confession, indicating he was threatened by his wife to leave Wang Wu at the roadside..."

Next.

Qin Mu then professionally listed a series of evidence.

Each evidence chain was very complete.

Directly addressing the elements constituting the crime.

Of course.

The nine lawyers from Shanghai were not to be outdone and immediately stood up to rebut.

Regarding their arguments...

They presented a series of corroborations.

In no time.

The courtroom scene became increasingly intense, comparable to a sharp verbal duel.

On the prosecution side.

Zhang Wei felt the tense atmosphere around him and subconsciously swallowed.

Qin Mu against nine; the scene was truly shocking.

Occasionally wanting to speak...

But he found he had no chance to interject, the pace of the scene changing too quickly.

And Qin Mu's response speed was completely in sync with the nine, not falling behind at all.

"Am I... really going to effortlessly win this?"

He looked around blankly, suddenly feeling surreal.

He had seemingly...

Hardly had to exert any effort.

...

At the same time.

On the Study Law Alliance Forum.

Netizens were watching the live courtroom broadcast, equally shocked by the heated debate.

"There are so many legal terms; I feel like I don't understand several words in a sentence?"

"Is this the peak high-end match? Discussing either the social rationality of legal interests or the guiding value of morality to law?"

"The most terrifying thing is the up [Qin Mu] now against nine, yet still not falling behind!"

"Do you think... once Zhang Wei joins the battle, he'll be the final blow to the opposing lawyers?"

"..."

Posts were emerging one after another.
