Free Web NovelChapter 877: Chapter 333: The Trial Begins—Have They Finally Admitted Their Guilt?
In their impression.
As long as it’s a case related to campus and minors, it’s basically not a big deal.
Under the protection of the Juvenile Protection Law...
The protection of minors is too well done.
"It’s not a high school case, it’s an incident that happened in middle school, where five middle school girls bullied another student. They’ve been criminally detained according to the law, and the trial will be held in four days."
Qing Lan explained again in the group.
As for Sun Luoling’s personal information, she did not disclose it.
But just these few words...
Left the others in the group utterly shocked.
"Really? This is the first time I’ve heard that minors can be criminally detained."
"Since when did school bullying have such serious consequences? That bullied little girl couldn’t have died, right?"
"In my opinion, even if she died, nothing should happen, right? Crimes committed by minors shouldn’t be severe enough for a sentence."
"Seems like it requires one of the eight major crimes to be sentenced, but they are only in middle school and not yet fourteen, the eight major crimes can’t apply to them, right."
"..."
The group members were once again actively discussing.
They are senior users in the forum, naturally knowing more about legal knowledge than the average person.
These basic facts, they are quite clear about.
And then.
Qing Lan recounted how Qin Mu stepped in to help, using an obscure legal interpretation.
Everyone suddenly realized.
"The guy is really something, he even found a breakthrough here?"
"These students deserve it, it’s about time to punish these school dark forces, how are they different from gangsters?"
"Except for not being eighteen, they’ve done everything, I used to have to pay protection fees every day when I was in school."
"It’s a shame we can’t see the trial, otherwise watching them being judged would be thrilling."
"..."
Gradually.
The group chat topic shifted from Qin Mu to the discussion of school violence.
Everyone’s childhood...
More or less has shadows of school violence, so they all resonate a bit.
Qin Mu saw this and shook his head helplessly.
He did not blame Qing Lan for exposing the case.
He had already planned to make this case into material and release it online after the trial.
On one hand.
It’s to tell the public that being a minor doesn’t mean you can ignore the law.
If you do something wrong, you also have to face corresponding punishments.
On the other hand.
To tell those minors experiencing school violence, providing them with a means to protect their rights.
Only by doing this.
Can we truly deter those little devils who believe they can act recklessly just because they are minors.
...
Three days later.
One day before the trial.
In the nursing home.
Qin Mu lay on the lounge chair in the yard, rocking leisurely.
By his side.
Was Zhang Qingyuan with a face full of grievance.
"I say, Xiao Qin, you’ve been hogging my chair for three hours now, can you give it back..."
Qin Mu’s old face turned red.
Realizing, he quickly stood up.
Returning the lounge chair to Old Zhang.
The lounge chairs in the nursing home have a quota, and he doesn’t have one.
So...
He took advantage of Old Zhang’s absence to hog his chair.
"One more day, the trial will begin."
After standing up.
Qin Mu stretched lazily, his eyes flickering.
Sun Luoling’s case...
Is set to begin trial tomorrow, whether those little devils will be punished, and whether he can complete the new task triggered by the system, all depends on tomorrow.
Afterwards.
He habitually took out his phone and logged into the forum.
Using the moderator privileges, he deleted some posts.
Managed some comments.
Currently speaking.
He is pretty satisfied with the forum, this gathering place for legal enthusiasts.
This forum, rarely do you see any trolls.
Even if it’s an academic discussion...
It’s done politely, without jumping to insult others’ parents.
"Huh? Why have so many people on the forum changed their avatar to look like mine?"
After scrolling through several posts.
Qin Mu was surprised to find that many users on the forum had changed their avatars to match his.
Among dozens of posts, over ten users used the same avatar...
As his.
And.
Several high-traffic posts have emerged in the forum, with hundreds of replies.
The discussion...
Is bizarrely about how to pray to him for good luck.
First floor: Brothers, let me tell you some good news, I’ve tested this personally and it’s effective. After praying to the moderator yesterday, I had ten consecutive rank wins!
Second floor: Me too, can you imagine? After praying to the moderator yesterday, my long-standing insomnia miraculously healed!
Third floor: That’s all you got after praying? After praying to the moderator, I confessed to my goddess on the spot, and she agreed to marry me next month!
Fourth floor: Bro above, is there a chance you’ll become a dad soon.
Fifth floor: There is a technique to praying to the moderator. I’ve prayed for five consecutive days and have already summarized a method to boost luck within twenty-four hours. For those who need it, hit me up.
Sixth floor: Heh, the one above must be a scammer, but praying to the moderator really requires some method. Personally, I suggest praying every night at twelve, then going to sleep, and praying again at twelve the next day. Trust me, try it out, and if it doesn’t work, pretend I didn’t say anything.
Seventh floor: Whoa! It works! I’ve prayed to the moderator for three days in a row; today, I won second prize in the lottery, winning 170,000!
Eighth floor: Yikes!! Listening to you all, is praying to the moderator really that effective?
Ninth floor: The guy on the seventh floor has already posted the winning screenshot, and you still don’t believe it?
Tenth floor: While you’re still doubting if praying works, I’ve already decided to go all-in on my assets, Neymar can’t lose!
Eleventh Floor...
In the forum.
Many netizens stepped forward voluntarily, speaking from experience.
They were saying all sorts of things.
This sparked a wave of "worshiping the moderator" frenzy.
Some even set alarms for morning and evening, replacing their household God of Wealth images with the moderator’s avatar.
"..."
Qin Mu couldn’t help but twitch his mouth upon seeing this.
Are you seriously going to worship me morning and night daily?
Can worshiping me actually bring good luck?
But on second thought.
He currently holds 3,000 luck points, indeed an abundance of fortune.
"Could they... really be siphoning my luck away?"
Qin Mu paused for a moment and couldn’t help murmuring.
However...
Upon careful consideration, he felt that it was unlikely.
If simply worshiping could transfer luck away.
Then Old Zhang and others who stay with him would have changed their luck long ago.
But according to his observation.
Zhang Qingyuan, Li Weiguo, Song Tiancheng, and others in the courtyard didn’t have any extraordinary luck.
At most...
They encountered numerous morally coercive and borderline illegal situations under the [Perfect Catch] skill.
"Looks like... I need to change my avatar."
Subsequently.
Qin Mu clicked to change his avatar silently.
...
The next day.
Zizhou.
At the entrance of a certain intermediate court.
"This day has finally come."
Sun Hai followed the prosecutor into the courtroom, feeling quite heavy-hearted.
These past days.
He stayed by his daughter’s side continuously, but her condition showed no improvement.
The doctor said it was an unresolved mental block, and psychological intervention was not progressing well.
Even...
There might be permanent trauma!
Ten in the morning.
Inside the criminal courtroom.
Le Yirou, Ji Chunchun, and other defendants were also brought into the court, standing at their respective defendant areas.
After so many days.
The arrogance and defiance were gone from their faces.
Their eyes were full of worry and anxiety.
When Sun Hai saw them, his gaze turned incomparably cold.
Eager to tear these demons who harmed his daughter to pieces.
"Dong——"
In the courtroom.
The Judgment Chief struck the gavel, confirming that all parties were present.
He said seriously, "This court will officially commence the hearing today, conducting a closed trial in accordance with the law on the case of Le Yirou, Ji Chunchun, and four others suspected of intentional injury causing disability, presided by me..."
"Due to the special nature of this case involving juvenile crime."
"With the Supreme Court’s approval, this case will be tried legally, ensuring the protection of every minor’s physical and mental health and legal rights."
After the statement.
The Judgment Chief took a deep glance at Le Yirou and the other five on the defendant’s bench.
Their faces still had traces of youth, slightly immature.
Yet their actions...
Tremendously clashed with their appearance.
"Now, the prosecutor will read the indictment and state the facts and reasons of the incident."
As soon as the words fell.
The prosecutor stood up proactively, speaking eloquently, "After investigation, our court found that first-year students Le Yirou, Ji Chunchun, and three others at XX Middle School repeatedly violated school rules, engaged in illegal bullying of other students during the school period."
"According to statistics, a total of forty-two students have been bullied by the group, suffering multiple beatings and injuries."
"The school administered multiple warnings to Le Yirou, Ji Chunchun, and others, but to no avail."
"On the 13th of this month, the group went further by dragging the victim Sun Luoling into an alley after school, tearing clothes, maliciously injuring, verbally abusing, and trampling on her personality, and recorded a video spreading widely within the school."
"This incident caused great physical and mental harm to the victim, Sun Luoling."
"Leading to Sun Luoling’s severe psychological damage, assessed as a first-degree disability."
"Le Yirou, Ji Chunchun, and the group’s actions were extremely vile with extensive impact, prompting this court to file charges demanding a conviction for intentional injury..."
"Sentencing Le Yirou to four years and six months in prison, sentencing Ji Chunchun to three years and six months..."
The prosecutor’s voice was sonorous and powerful.
Continuously resounding in the courtroom.
And on the defendant’s bench.
Le Yirou, Ji Chunchun, and others turned pale with fear upon hearing this.
Finally realizing the gravity of the problem.
"Dad, save me, I don’t want to go to jail, I really don’t want to go to jail, I didn’t mean to do those things."
"Mom, help me, I will never bully other students again..."
"Dad, I promise, I will study hard from now on and never fight again."
"I’m really scared..."
"..."
The five looked toward the lawyer’s bench.
Next to their hired lawyers...
Were their respective parents.
Since minors were involved in the trial, their guardians had to accompany them on site.
"Silence!"
"No noise in the courtroom!"
The Judgment Chief, seeing this, sternly struck the gavel.
Solemnly reminded the courtroom rules.
Scolding the five for seeking help.
He also turned to the guardians at the lawyer’s bench, inquiring: "Do you have any defense against the multiple accusations brought by the prosecutor earlier?"
