Having said this, Qin Mu looked at the camera and seriously stated, "Here, using this case, I'd like to encourage everyone: do not fail to do good, no matter how trivial, and do not commit evil, no matter how small. Sometimes, even minor thefts can lead to very serious consequences."
After recording, he clicked save and then began editing on the computer.
Theft is actually a relatively common crime in everyday life. It happens most often on buses. However, the punishment for this crime is relatively light. If the amount stolen is small and the harm to society is minimal, the sentence is generally criminal detention along with a fine. Only when the amount stolen reaches a 'particularly large' threshold can it result in a sentence of ten years or more. This 'particularly large' amount has a specific definition in judicial interpretations. An amount reaching 300,000 is considered 'particularly large.'
The reason Xu Leshan received a sentence of ten years and three months was mainly because he struck gold, so to speak, by opening a mystery box. It contained letters, official documents, trade secrets, and identification documents such as ID cards.
Two hours later, the video production was completed. Qin Mu chose a title and posted it on Little Station.
「Study Law Alliance Forum.」
With the release of Qin Mu's video, the entire forum erupted. All three sections were more active than ever before. The Soul Cleansing Area, the Starting Over Area, and the Legal Study and Protection Area were all buzzing with discussions about the video.
"Good heavens! Reality is stranger than fiction. Stealing a package and getting a ten-year sentence?"
"I wouldn't dare write something like that in my novels—opening a mystery box and landing five charges!"
"I just checked the criminal law. Even robbing a bank carries a minimum sentence of ten years. This guy really drew the short straw! With guts like that, what couldn't he have accomplished?!"
"Is there a possibility that he wasn't acting of his own free will but was forced?"
"Indeed, offending an up never ends well!"
"..."
One post after another emerged. Countless people joined the discussion about the video.
This case was somewhat different from previous ones. Petty thefts like these were common occurrences in their lives. Almost everyone had experienced losing something. But most of the time, the thief couldn't be found. Take this incident of theft at the delivery point, for example. The thief had hidden very well. Fortunately, Heaven's net is vast; though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it.
Qin Mu had bought a 'horror box,' which, as luck would have it, was stolen by the thief. The contents then scared the thief into the hospital. Eventually, the thief's family surfaced and came demanding compensation. The whole sequence of events was too fantastical.
"The up said he wanted to test his nerve, but I feel like there's more to this than meets the eye."
"See it but don't say it aloud. Has anything the up done ever been simple?"
"Shh! Watch what you say and do! It wasn't easy getting this forum. If the up sees this, we're all finished!"
"Oh, and a reminder to everyone: don't just stand there in shock. Remember to give the up's video the triple combo—like, share, and subscribe! The current up is becoming more and more... terrifying!"
"..."
The entire forum reached an unprecedented peak in popularity because of Qin Mu's newly updated video.
The Soul Cleansing Area saw hundreds of new posts containing poems and prose appear in a short period.
In the Starting Over Area, many people posted speculations that the horror box incident wasn't such a coincidence, but they didn't dare discuss it further. They were worried... that in the midst of their discussions, they might suddenly be accused of 'false accusation and malicious framing' by Qin Mu and get sent to jail.
Meanwhile, in the Legal Study and Protection Area, the atmosphere was completely different.
"The up's newly updated case is packed with learning points! A petty theft actually involving five different charges!"
"This proves that opening mystery boxes can not only make you rich but might also land you in jail!"
"I didn't quite catch the up's explanation in the video. What are the constituent elements for the crime of theft, snatching, or destruction of official documents, credentials, and seals of state organs?"
"It was already explained that these are conduct-based offenses. Simply committing the act of theft, snatching, or destruction related to such items is enough to constitute this crime."
"..."
Everyone was actively engaged in discussing and learning legal knowledge. Qin Mu's method of teaching through entertainment really helped them grasp a lot of legal knowledge. From the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous means (like throwing objects from high-rise buildings), to the crime of poisoning (constituted by spitting into delivery food), and even the procedures for filing complaints against banks... each video had been tremendously beneficial to them.
At least, if they encountered similar incidents in their daily lives, they wouldn't be completely clueless. They could learn from Qin Mu's methods to collect evidence and protect their own legal rights.
At the same time, understanding the illegality and criminality of these actions also served as a stark warning to them. This would also prevent them from one day encountering someone as legally savvy as Qin Mu and ending up incarcerated!
