The real purpose of legal statutes regarding the statute of limitations is, in fact, for those who have erred and not faced judicial punishment to be rehabilitated in society and to endure the condemnation of their conscience. It also stipulates that if one reoffends during the statute of limitations period, the statute of limitations will be recalculated. For instance, consider a fugitive murderer who has been on the run for 19 years and 364 days. During those 19 years, he was careful every day, hiding his tracks, afraid to expose himself. Then, on the very last day, he was accidentally caught for drunk driving. If so, he would be charged with reckless driving, and the statute of limitations would reset. The statute of limitations for his crime of intentional homicide would need to be recalculated.

As for this parcel theft incident... He strongly suspected that the other party had acted on impulse upon seeing that the store had no surveillance. If they don't reoffend within the next five years... They will truly get away with it, beyond the reach of the law! Thinking of this, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"No, I must find a way, see if I can catch the person..."

Qin Mu took a deep breath. As long as he found the person, he absolutely intended to ensure they would face the full extent of the law!

At that moment, the system's voice echoed in his mind again.

"DING! A parcel theft has been detected near the host, triggering a new mission."

"DING! Please choose one of the following three missions:

One, let it slide; it was just a feedback letter anyway.

Two, actively seek your rights; negotiate with the courier station's boss and the courier company for compensation.

Three, expose the thief and ensure they face corresponding legal sanctions."

"Friendly reminder: Each mission path varies in difficulty, and rewards will be calculated based on the degree of completion."

Three different options appeared before him.

He immediately dismissed the first mission option. The feedback letter, although not of great value or particularly useful, was extremely provocative. He hadn't imagined... that the other party would be so brazen as to steal from him!

"Three!"

After brief consideration, he eliminated option two and chose three.

The second option, actively seeking his rights, mainly involved approaching the courier station's boss and the courier company. The parcel was lost in their area of responsibility, so they had to assume responsibility for improper storage. The losses incurred would also be fully compensated by them.

But the third option was the toughest, yet it was also what he most wanted to do!

「...」

Mountain and Water Garden District.

After a brief exchange with the courier station's boss, Qin Mu returned home. Simultaneously, he swiftly reviewed the legal knowledge he had recently studied, trying to find a solution. But these legal provisions... were all related to sentencing and criminal offenses. They weren't very effective for this situation.

"Forget it. Whether or not I can find the person, I'll teach them a lesson first!"

After thinking for a long time without finding a solution, Qin Mu simply changed his approach, planning to draw the snake out of its hole. Following that, he took out his phone and logged into a popular online marketplace. He searched for the keyword "terrifying mystery box" and found many shops. He sent a uniform message to these shops' customer services: "Do you have any particularly terrifying mystery boxes? The kind that could scare someone to death!"

Before long, a reply from one shop's customer service caught his attention.

"Bro, our shop has just stocked a new batch of mystery boxes, guaranteed to be terrifying! They're perfect for testing your courage—personally tested and proven effective by yours truly!"

"Several employees in my shop who've completed horror escape rooms fainted from these!"

"Highly recommended!"

Seeing this response, Qin Mu's eyes lit up. With a hint of skepticism, he asked, "Is the effect really as exaggerated as you claim?"

A few seconds later, the other party replied quickly, "No scare, no charge! We suggest that those under 18 unpack it in the presence of a parent, and when opening the parcel, stay three meters away!"

Qin Mu blinked. Seeing how confidently the other party spoke, he quickly placed an order. The delivery address, naturally, was the Mountain and Water Garden District.

After placing the order, he immediately summoned the system panel and activated the "Sure Catch" skill. Through his study over this period, he had roughly mastered this skill. This skill... was not a fishing skill at all. It had multiple functions and could be used in any applicable situation. For example, to bait the other party's statements. And this time... among the many parcels, it would make his parcel the "luckiest" one, ensuring it would be stolen by this thief!

"But this method can only serve as a light punishment to serve as a warning; I still need to figure out how to catch this thief."

After doing all this, Qin Mu once again delved deep in thought.

「...」

「The next day.」

Qin Mu went to work as usual. While slacking off at the nursing home, he kept an eye on the dynamics in the community group chat. Sure enough, yesterday, several more victims of parcel theft had appeared, cursing the thief vehemently in the group chat. They showered the thief with various sarcastic "blessings," even extending them to their family members.

"Still no solution."

And despite thinking about it all day, racking his brains, he still hadn't found a way to catch the thief.

With no other option, he went to the legal advisor's office, which was also Wang Dachui's slacking spot.

"Parcel theft?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dachui unexpectedly breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost thought Qin Mu was coming to him because of some lawsuit again. Although he had taken some time off, he was very aware of what had happened at the nursing home during this period. Qin Mu hadn't been idle at all... He was either suing the entire internet or strategizing for betrothal gift disputes. Just two days ago, he had turned the bank upside down. It caused quite a stir in Jin City. Every few days, he'd make major news.
