Chapter 248: Why did you come? I came to accept an investigation! (Seeking monthly votes)

September 18th, weather clear, suitable for opening a court session and filing a lawsuit, avoid visiting graves or burning paper money.

It is another day for a court session; the case of Zhou Yi suing the Modu Chengdu Company for consumer fraud is already set to begin, but unfortunately, no one from Chengdu Company has appeared in court for this case.

This also makes Lawyer Fang a bit disappointed, but it is fine, because today, Zhou Mouren received three court summonses in a single day.

Two of them are from the Ningchang District People's Court in Modu, while the other one is from a grassroots People's Court in the Imperial Capital.

These three summonses also brought a trace of comfort to Lawyer Fang's heart; there are still some people in this world who can keep their word, and people should be like this.

If you're out in the world... out and about, if you say you're going to sue someone, you have to sue them!

Correspondingly, if I say I'm going to report you, then I have to report you!

Only at this moment, Zhou Yi is sitting on a plane heading to Modu.

The other party's police report did indeed have some effect; Zhou Yi also received a call yesterday from a staff member at a Police Station in Modu, asking a few questions, mainly regarding the authenticity of the videos and updates he had previously posted.

Then, after asking, they told Zhou Yi to just wait for a follow-up call.

To be honest, when he first received this call, Zhou Mouren was indeed a little bit scared, but after talking to Lawyer Fang on the phone, he was fine.

Because Lawyer Fang said that since they reported it to the police, and the evidence and materials were certainly organized by their legal department, it is possible for a case to be filed after the report.

Of course, facing a police report from such an internet giant, they will certainly pay a bit more attention; there is no need to say this, as many people surely understand.

If they call you to ask about the situation, you just tell the truth, there is nothing to be afraid of.

After that, Lawyer Fang said: "Bring the relevant materials and go straight to Modu; we don't even need them to summon us, we will take the initiative to go and accept the investigation."

"While you're at it, go report them to the Market Supervision Department in Modu; since you're already going anyway..."

Such a major matter was spoken of by Lawyer Fang as if it were a triviality.

When Zhou Yi asked if the other party was going, Lawyer Fang indicated that there was still a court session here, and even if he had to perform a solo act, he had to finish it; this is his professional integrity as a Lawyer.

Lawyer Fang is just like that; for him, attending court and fighting a lawsuit is the same as a debate—both are sacred.

In his own words, he is a legal professional himself; if he doesn't respect the law, how can he educate others about the law?

After he finishes this lawsuit, he will go to Modu to fight the other two, and then go to the Imperial Capital to fight that one.

In any case, it's just revisiting old haunts; the court staff there probably already miss him quite a bit.

Thus, Zhou Mouren brought a whole large bag of materials and boarded the plane to Modu.

These materials were all organized by Lawyer Fang.

Zhou Yi's previous updates were just an Investigation Report; in layman's terms, it was actually just an intuitive presentation and summary of the investigation data.

In other words, there was nothing involving Big Data Price Discrimination.

But now it is different; Lawyer Fang has established a rigorous logical relationship, from the investigation data to the causal relationship, and finally to Big Data Price Discrimination.

Taking such things to report them is the only way to get it done in one go!

I don't even need you to conduct a detailed investigation; you only need to verify the materials, just like when I went to report to the police earlier—the work has already been done.

Under such circumstances, if you say the relevant departments received such a report, what will they do?

Of course, we all know that in reality, what small cases look at and what big cases look at, and Lawyer Fang's grasp of this aspect has always been extremely precise!

In the last two years, the country has been continuously issuing laws and regulations regarding Big Data Price Discrimination, from privacy clauses on personal information collection to monopoly and abuse of market dominance in Big Data Price Discrimination, all of which are being regulated accordingly.

Take Shenzhen, the pioneer; in its penalty regulations regarding Big Data Price Discrimination, it directly stated that the penalty amount is one to five percent of the company's annual turnover from the previous year!

Although there is also a regulation that it shall not exceed 50 million, compared to the individual "Return One Compensate Three," this is considered an astronomical figure.

And the "Administrative Penalty Provisions for Price Illegal Acts" from the State Administration for Market Regulation even stated that "Big Data Price Discrimination," "subsidy dumping," and other "price illegal acts in new business formats" will be given a Warning!

They may also be fined between 1‰ and 5‰ of the previous year's total sales; if the circumstances are Serious Circumstances, they will be ordered to suspend business for rectification or have their business license revoked.

This regulation was released not long ago; as a legal professional, one must keep up with the country's rhythm; only then can you remain invincible!

After exiting the airport, Zhou Yi carried the large bag and hailed a taxi outside.

"Young man, where to?" The taxi driver was a man in his forties, who looked like a very talkative person, and he greeted him very enthusiastically.

"Oh, to the Yunlu Street Police Station in Ningchang District, can you find it?" Zhou Yi asked.

Upon hearing this, the uncle laughed and said: "No problem, I've been in Modu for so long, I can find anywhere you want to go, really, anywhere!"

"How old are you this year, young man?"

"Are you married? Let me tell you, in this day and age, young people shouldn't just lie flat; you still have to work hard. When we were young..."

After chatting for a while, Zhou Yi was a bit speechless; the uncle was a good person, but he just liked to dwell on the past and believed that young people today couldn't endure any hardship, which he thought was wrong.

As the uncle talked, he added: "Oh right, young man, why are you going to the Police Station? And you brought such a big bag."

"Oh, I'm going to the Police Station to accept an investigation."

Through the rearview mirror in front of the taxi, Zhou Yi could see that the driver's expression visibly went blank.

So he became even more interested, patted his large bag and said: "These? These are my materials, all of which need to be investigated."

The taxi driver shut his mouth; until Zhou Yi got out of the car, the only thing he said was, "The fare is..."

After getting out of the car, Zhou Yi curled his lip; I was telling the truth, wasn't I?

Pushing the door open and walking into the entrance of the Yunlu Street Police Station, the police officer Lao Fan sitting inside saw someone enter and immediately asked: "Hey comrade, over here, what are you here for?"

While speaking, Lao Fan took a sip of water; he had just changed shifts, and grassroots Police Stations are always busy to the point of exploding, especially in a place like Modu, where people call the police for everything.

Zhou Yi placed the huge bag of materials on the table and immediately said: "Hello comrade, my name is Zhou Yi, I am here to accept an investigation."

"Oh, your name is Zhou Yi, right? You are here to accept an inves... Pfft!"

He almost spat out a mouthful of water, hurriedly swallowed it, and Lao Fan said with a look of astonishment: "What did you say you are here for? Accept an investigation? What did you do?"

While speaking, Lao Fan had already subtly signaled the police officer next to him to step forward and block the door.

"It's okay, comrade, I'm not running away, the situation is like this..."

After explaining the situation where a police officer had called him earlier, Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Comrade, I was just worried; although that comrade said it was fine, I still thought I should come over."

Lao Fan didn't even know if he should praise him; other people avoid coming to the Police Station for an investigation like the plague, and as long as it isn't explicitly stated that they must come, it is impossible for them to show up.

Even when it is explicitly stated that the other party must come to accept an investigation, some people still don't come.

As it turns out, even though he hadn't been asked to come, he traveled thousands of miles from Jingzhou by plane, and even brought so many materials?

This... Lao Fan felt he didn't even know what to say!

Sigh, if everyone were like this young man, the grassroots police officers wouldn't be this exhausted.

Honestly, it's a good thing his colleagues in the legal and political circles of Jingzhou City don't know about this thought, otherwise they would certainly express a different opinion.

After learning the name and ID number, Lao Fan quickly cleared things up.

"Someone reported your case, alleging that you are suspected of the crime of damaging commercial reputation and product reputation. It's just that because it is a bit complicated, the Case Filing and investigation will be somewhat complex and take a longer time."

"But now..."

There was no need to say how things were now; the person had come to them himself and brought so many materials, so they could just investigate and clear it up directly, and there was a ninety percent chance that there was absolutely no issue.

Lao Fan made a phone call, and the relevant police officer in charge of this case arrived shortly after.

"Zhou Yi, this is Officer Wang, the one who called you earlier."

"Hello, Officer Wang!"

Officer Wang was a middle-aged policeman; he stepped forward and said with a smile, "Zhou Yi, right? I didn't ask you to come..."

It wasn't that people had never turned themselves in, and there were those who took the initiative to come for investigation, but they usually went to their local Police Station.

No one had ever traveled this far...

"It's fine, it's fine!" Zhou Yi said cheerfully: "Since I'm already here, it's all just a matter of convenience anyway."

A matter of convenience... Officer Wang didn't really want to talk about this topic anymore.

"Then let's do this, Mr. Zhou. You stay in Modu for a few days; we should be able to provide a result today."

The investigation was already mostly complete, and with these many materials added, they would just have to work overtime to get a result.

"No problem, no problem, comrade. I'll be in Modu for these two days. If you need me to come, just give me a call and I'll be here."

The two sides shook hands, and Lao Fan saw Zhou Yi out—this was a courtesy not usually afforded to ordinary people.

Inside the Police Station, Officer Wang began calling his colleagues to examine the materials. Zhou Yi had already taken out a portion of the materials earlier, but most of what was in the large bag was evidence intended for the Market Supervision Department.

Just looking at the materials on top, Officer Wang was once again speechless.

After holding it in for a long time, he only had one sentence: "This young man..."

Situations like Big Data Price Discrimination were actually something they had heard of, but never before had anyone been able to produce such a detailed investigation result like this person.

This was the situation they had grasped previously.

The reason they had been investigating whether to proceed with Case Filing was mainly because they were unsure if these materials were authentic.

If these investigation results were fake, then it could be determined that the other party was fabricating false facts, and then they could proceed with Case Filing and follow the procedures.

But now, after looking at these materials organized by Lawyer Fang, Officer Wang could be certain that they were authentic.

There was no fabrication whatsoever.

And since the data and results released by the other party were all real, it did not involve the fabrication or dissemination of facts, so it could be determined that there were no issues at all.

Thus, very quickly, the situation began to be reported upward.

At the same time, Zhou Yi took a taxi once again to the location of the Shanghai Market Supervision Department.

The scale of Modu is comparable to Handong Province, not Jingzhou City, so the Market Supervision Department here corresponds to the Handong Province Market Supervision Bureau.

Zhou Yi checked his documents and then stepped inside; it was truly huge here.

After asking the guide, Zhou Yi quickly found the place for accepting market supervision reports.

"Hello, comrade, is there anything I can help you with?"

The staff member at the Shanghai Market Supervision Department asked with a look of enthusiasm.

Modu is different from other places; there are quite a few people who come here to actually file reports, so they are considered somewhat busy.

However, most of these reports have no results because everything depends on evidence.

Without evidence, coming to report with empty words while being all agitated—that could never succeed.

Zhou Yi placed the large bag behind him onto the table, which made a "bang" sound.

Although he had taken out many materials at the Police Station, the materials here were still numerous—to the point of exploding.

The staff member was startled; with this commotion, were you here to file a report, or what?

"Hello, I am here to report two companies in Modu for Big Data Price Discrimination!"

Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"Reporting Big Data Price Discrimination?" The staff member looked a bit strange and said: "Comrade, are you sure? This Big Data Price Discrimination is not so easy to report; you must have sufficient evidence!"

"No worries, I brought it with me this time. You can take a look; I am filing a Real-name Registration report!"

The staff member looked at the heavy-looking large bag and subconsciously swallowed.

"Well then, comrade, could you wait a moment? You have quite a lot of materials here; we need to examine them carefully!"

By the end of this sentence, a hint of joy had appeared on the staff member's face.

Big Data Price Discrimination is a stubborn disease in the current market supervision system; they are aware of it, and the General Administration is currently arranging relevant investigations.

They didn't expect that someone would actually come to report it now, and even brought so much evidence!

What is this? This is like having a pillow handed to you just as you're feeling sleepy!

Although they didn't know how authentic this evidence was, if it were true, this performance record...

"Alright, no problem. I'm not in a hurry, you take your time looking."

The staff member hurriedly notified their superior. The superior was also stunned after learning the situation—a report of this nature was actually made by an individual?

But this was not the time to think about that; they hurriedly gathered personnel to begin a preliminary investigation.

These data materials were very detailed, as they were, after all, a summary based on over five hundred pieces of investigation data.

Just as they were looking through them, someone became curious: "Director Liu, some of the data in here seems to have been seen on the internet; it was published by an influencer named A Yi."

"But other data, I have never seen before."

Director Liu, who was wearing glasses, replied subconsciously upon hearing this: "Is his name A Yi? The person outside who made the Real-name Registration report says his name is Zhou Yi..."

Normal updates have resumed. The update schedule has been lackluster and the sales figures are too poor to look at. Now, Jiu Jian just wants to write!
