Too Bad I Take Things Seriously

Qin Mu believed.

With so much real-life material at hand, the legal education effect would surely be excellent!

"Dong..."

In the courtroom.

The Judgment Chief struck the gavel and began to have the bailiff bring each defendant to the court.

The trial began.

"Wan Wujiang, in response to the content accused by the prosecutor just now, please make the corresponding defense."

A middle-aged man in his thirties was brought to the defendant’s seat.

With the help of his lawyer, he nervously proceeded with the defense.

This time.

There were no mishaps, and the defense went smoothly, focusing solely on pleading guilty and seeking a reduced sentence.

After a brief summary by the Judgment Chief, the trial promptly moved to the evidence and cross-examination phase.

After a series of evidence was presented...

The defendant looked as if bereaved, his face turned ashen.

He completely gave up on resisting.

Under the chairmanship of the Judgment Chief, the trial of a case was completed in just twenty minutes.

"Next, Zhou Songyu."

The Judgment Chief took a deep breath, dared not rest, and continued to summon the next defendant.

Currently.

In the waiting courtroom, there were still hundreds of defendants waiting to face trial.

He had to speed up the efficiency of the trials.

While ensuring fairness, justice, and accuracy in the trials, he had to hasten the process to conclude this case as quickly as possible.

However...

Even if each defendant’s trial took twenty minutes, it would still require two hundred hours to complete the trial of these six hundred defendants.

This was undoubtedly a very protracted period.

...

Jin City.

Nursing home.

In the courtyard.

Zhang Qingyuan, Li Weiguo, Song Tiancheng, and others were watching the screen intently, engrossed in the proceedings.

Every time a defendant with a twenty-five-year sentence appeared...

It would cause a stir within the nursing home.

"Thrilling, so thrilling, although I don’t quite understand their charges, anyone caught by the police must surely be a bad guy!"

"Twenty-five years, he has twelve charges, that’s fierce."

"It’s a pity Xiao Qin isn’t here; otherwise, he could explain these criminal charges to us."

"I feel that this trial doesn’t need Xiao Qin’s participation at all; so far, he hasn’t spoken a word, like a mascot."

"..."

Seeing the trial finally commence.

The elderly folks were in high spirits.

Although they couldn’t understand the professional legal terms, it didn’t hinder their excitement and enthusiasm.

The only shortcoming...

Was that they were missing an "interpreter."

Qin Mu was the only legal advisor in their nursing home, but he went to the scene to participate in the trial.

"Indeed, we need an interpreter..."

In the corner.

Wan Zhongyuan looked at the projection screen and murmured the same.

Without an interpreter...

He couldn’t understand many things, only knowing that this case was about to shock the entire Jin City, even the nation!

Based on the trial speed.

Even with six courtrooms jointly hearing the case, it will not be completed within less than ten days.

And this was just the first day.

Once the news spreads, both Jin City and the nation will know about this "major case."

...

Qianzhou.

In a certain office building.

During working hours.

Ma Ming was secretly hiding in the bathroom, also watching this trial.

"Who would have thought this case could involve over three thousand defendants..."

Looking at the live broadcast images from six live-streaming rooms, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

This matter...

Initially, it was only triggered by the hacking attack on a forum, but now it’s out of control.

The matter escalated.

So many criminal cases emerged.

He just wanted...

To bring Tang Suiming and those abominable hacker groups to justice and actively sought Qin Mu’s help.

The truth proved.

Qin Mu was simply like a nuclear weapon; no matter how small the matter was, as long as it involved Qin Mu, it was bound to stir up a storm.

Over three thousand defendants.

Among six live-streaming rooms, there were a total of seventeen sentencing proposals for twenty-five years.

Sentencing proposals for over one hundred people suggested more than twenty years.

The remaining sentencing proposals ranged from more than one year to less than twenty years.

"The forum also exploded..."

While watching the live broadcast, he opened the forum he had created.

The forum had now entirely resumed normal operations.

But overall, it was still somewhat laggy.

Mainly...

Because after watching the trial, the netizens seemed to be excited as if they had been energized, suddenly becoming exhilarated.

Whenever a charge appeared in the trial live broadcast.

There are netizens asking various related questions about these charges on the forum.

"@BigBoss, damn it, being scammed is also a crime? That’s really something new."

"Who can prove you were scammed accidentally? Is it possible that you were scammed on purpose?"

"I have a question, if the person who scammed me out of money is caught, and the money is recovered, will I still be guilty of this crime?"

"I also have a question, if I encountered a ’set-up’, gave money, and the other party committed the crime of forced trade and extortion, would I be detained for that stuff?"

"What is ’that stuff’? I don’t get it."

"..."

Looking at one question after another.

Ma Ming felt a bit dumbfounded.

Have to say.

This batch of netizens is really talented in a way.

Asking so many absurd questions.

These questions...

Without some legal grounding, they really can’t be answered.

"Everyone, go check out the fourth criminal trial room, another one with a 25-year sentence, and he even has charges of smuggling aquatic products, could he be another fish seller?"

"Fish seller? I was just thinking of going to the bookstore to buy a book on The Art of War to study."

"You’re too slow, The Art of War is already sold out, you probably can’t get it in bookstores, even online it’s out of stock."

"How about a plasma TV? The TV at home is broken, I was just thinking of replacing it."

"I suggest holding off on the plasma TV, try to find a widow first, then find a sugar daddy, kneel down for him..."

"..."

Every time a new defendant appeared in the courtroom, it would cause a stir on the forum.

Many netizens were constantly paying attention to the case progress.

The forum was really popular.

And there were quite a few...

Who were there to learn and wanted to absorb lessons from these defendants.

Resolutely not to do illegal activities in the future.

...

Jin City.

Time slowly passed by.

Seven o’clock in the evening.

After a whole day of trial, all six courtrooms worked nonstop and completed the trials of 154 defendants.

While Qin Mu...

During this time, rushed between the six criminal trial rooms.

Occasionally appearing in court.

Acting as a mascot, brushing up his presence.

Actually.

This case has reached a follow-up stage and is not closely related to him.

But because he was the initial whistleblower, he needed to act as a witness if necessary.

After all...

All the cases were uncovered after being reported by him.

"Over three thousand two hundred defendants, doesn’t that mean it would take twenty more days?"

Knowing the day’s trial progress, Qin Mu couldn’t help frowning.

This speed...

Isn’t a bit slow.

But he could understand, this was the result even after Jin City Court allocated more manpower and the judicial force worked in full swing.

This case is not the same as the lawsuit against the entire network of cases.

That case had fifteen thousand defendants, but each had the same charge.

But for this case...

Each person’s charges were different, and the charges were numerous.

To finish the trials within twenty days was already quite good.

At worst...

He can edit those charges that appear in court each day into video materials, update them in advance, and ride the wave of this trial’s popularity.

Afterward.

After the trial ended, Qin Mu stretched lazily.

Walked out of the court.

Went straight back to the nursing home.

Happened to see the elderly in the yard still discussing the day’s case with great interest.

"Crime of disrupting military marriage, I’ve lived so long, and it’s the first time I’ve seen this crime."

"Also that person who made millions through smuggling, is really outrageous, seems like all the ways to make money are written down in the Criminal Law."

"Xiao Qin is back? Come and tell us, those sentenced to 25 years, how could they accumulate over 35 years of sentences?"

"What a pity, over three thousand defendants, and not one life sentence appeared."

"..."

Surrounded in the middle.

Qin Mu shrugged, having to answer everyone’s questions one by one.

These elderly people...

Showed a clear interest in the legal aspects over other hobbies.

"In fact, a life sentence and a 25-year fixed-term imprisonment aren’t much different, all it takes is one clemency event to reduce it to a 25-year fixed-term imprisonment."

The sentencing system in our country is different from that abroad.

Above 25 years of fixed-term imprisonment, is life imprisonment.

There aren’t sentences like thirty years, fifty years, eighty years, or a hundred years here.

According to the commutation system.

Typically, those sentenced to life imprisonment do have the opportunity to have their sentence reduced to 25 years.

Of course.

Except for those where the court prohibits commutation at the time of sentencing.

After spending an hour.

He finally resolved the doubts of these elderly people and extricated himself.

Then he discovered...

In a certain corner, Wan Zhongyuan actually hadn’t left, still mingling among the elderly.
