As the wedding farce began in the backyard, the guests had been egging it on, cracking all sorts of risqué jokes. The bridesmaids blushed with shame, clearly having never witnessed such a spectacle. Then, the crowd played a few simple games.

Suddenly, someone suggested getting intimate with the bridesmaids, harassing them in the process. It started with lifting the bridesmaids up, tossing them into the air, and then catching them. The frightened bridesmaids screamed continuously. Then the crowd packed together, surrounding the groomsmen and bridesmaids.

In the midst of the chaos, one after another, wandering hands began to appear—some groping legs, others grabbing breasts. At first, the bridesmaids thought they were just simple bodily collisions and didn't take it too seriously. But gradually... it went too far.

People ripping clothes and touching sensitive areas became more and more frequent. Laughter filled the backyard. Several bridesmaids cried and shouted that they didn't want to play anymore. But those who had become addicted didn't care, pretending not to hear, and continued to lay their hands on them.

The bridesmaids tried to resist, but they were no match and suffered all kinds of indignities. Among them, the bridesmaid named Xiao Lan was the bravest. She repeatedly stepped forward, trying to rescue the other bridesmaids, but in the end, she was targeted. While the other bridesmaids escaped, she was surrounded by more than a dozen people who continued all sorts of borderline illicit behavior.

Finally, she pulled out a folding knife she was carrying, closed her eyes, and stabbed wildly, resulting in one death and three injuries.

「Twenty minutes later.」

Qin Mu, Zhang Qingyuan, and the others had watched the entire video, looking somewhat uneasy. These people... They indeed took it too far, completely abusing the wedding tradition to behave like hooligans.

"Uncle Qin, what about this? Can it be considered a violent crime?" Peng Songyue, extremely nervous, asked eagerly.

Before Qin Mu could speak, Zhang Qingyuan and the other two, with grim expressions, snorted coldly, "Of course it counts!"

"If this isn't considered a violent crime, then what is? Back in our time, the whole village would have come out to beat them!"

"Exactly! It's a pity the hooliganism law is no more; otherwise, this bunch would all be facing the firing squad!"

"We never had such rowdy weddings in our village back in the day. Who would dare to grope and rip clothes like this?"

"To put it bluntly, that person definitely got what he deserved!"

...

Having also watched the video, the three of them appeared very angry. Before watching the video, they could not have imagined how bad the situation was. After watching the video, their blood pressure rose. So many people bullying a bridesmaid... Ripping clothes, touching legs—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a crime.

"Strictly speaking, this can be determined as a violent crime," Qin Mu said after a moment of thought, nodding. "The behavior of the other party is very vile, committing acts of indecency against women in public, which constitutes the crime of indecency. According to Article 237 of the Criminal Law, the crime of indecency refers to the act of forcibly committing indecency against others or insulting women by violence, coercion, or other methods, punishable by imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention. Furthermore, indecency can occur between men and women, or between those of the same sex, but only indecency against women or children constitutes the crime stipulated in this article. Indecency against women refers to behaviors such as groping, licking, kissing, and embracing. The actions of the wedding participants in the video clearly constitute this crime. For such an offense, in less serious cases, the perpetrator shall be sentenced to imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention. And in the judicial interpretation, those who commit indecent acts under grave circumstances or gather in public places to commit indecent acts against others shall be sentenced to not less than five years but not more than fifteen years of fixed-term imprisonment."

"The other party gathered more than ten people at the wedding venue to blatantly commit indecent acts. The sentencing range for this is from not less than five years to not more than fifteen years," Qin Mu stated. Looking at Peng Songyue, he continued seriously, "This case meets the standards for violent crime. With a competent lawyer, one could argue for acquittal and even countersue on the spot for the crime of indecency."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the entire backyard fell into a sudden silence. Qin Mu's analysis... It had essentially turned the tables.

While they had been worried about being sued and jailed, now it was the other party's turn. Moreover, the more than ten people gathered for the wedding farce could all be charged with the crime of indecency, facing the possibility of jail time, including the four involved in the incident of one death and three injuries.

"Uncle Qin, is what you're saying true or not?" Chen Zishi's father swallowed hard, unable to refrain from asking.

"Of course it's true! When has Xiao Qin ever bluffed anyone?" Song Tiancheng snorted confidently, puffing out his chest. "You've always lived in the countryside and never heard of Xiao Qin's reputation. Go to the city and ask around—who doesn't know him? The people he's put away—if not ten thousand, then at least three thousand! If he says they will go to jail, they definitely will!"

As he spoke, he became inspired and began to recount Qin Mu's exploits in Jin City, hastily and crudely.

The listeners were all taken aback. Every story sounded... incredibly outrageous.

"So let's call the police first," Qin Mu said, his lips twitching as he cut off Song Tiancheng.

In the countryside, village power structures sometimes dominate. Even grassroots police stations are only set up in towns; there are none in the townships and villages. This also led to the existence of village tyrants. The more populous and powerful a village is, the more it can dominate the discourse.

"Alright, I'll call right now." Chen Zishi swallowed, took out his phone, and dialed the emergency number.

Just after finishing the call, outside the backyard, those villagers who had attended the feast started making noise again.
