Chapter 273: Comrade, Hello, I Am Here to Report a Case

It was still the Guangming District People's Court, and still the busy Case Filing Hall.

The staff member took the submitted materials and began to review them; this was only a preliminary review, first to look at the Indictment.

As a result, just after seeing the Plaintiff on the Indictment, the staff member was a bit stunned: Fang Xujing!

This name looks so familiar, wait, isn't this Teacher Fang?

Looking at it again, this is no Indictment at all, this thing is called a Private Prosecution Complaint!

It was not common in the past, but it is an extremely common thing this year.

Teacher Fang wants to initiate a Criminal Private Prosecution, and he is the private prosecutor?

With confusion, they finished reading the entire Private Prosecution Complaint and then looked at the evidence and supporting materials; that's right, it was indeed Teacher Fang who initiated the Criminal Private Prosecution.

But with his ability, there is no reason why a Criminal Private Prosecution would require others to come.

The staff member would not forget that this year's Criminal Private Prosecutions were first initiated by Teacher Fang... oh right, basically over ninety percent of the Criminal Private Prosecution performance was brought by Teacher Fang.

Outside, Zhou Xinran saw the staff member's curious expression and smiled, "Teacher Fang is currently in Modu, working on another more important case, so he cannot leave."

"And he thinks this private prosecution case is too simple, so he just let me come and file it."

It must be said that ever since Zhou Xinran followed Fang Dazhuang, I don't know how well she learned other things, but this ability to infuriate people was learned to the fullest.

Sure enough, the staff member inside was left speechless after hearing this.

Teacher Fang is like this, and you are like this too; this is called too simple? This is a Criminal Private Prosecution, okay!

You can't look down on it just because you have a lot of Criminal Private Prosecutions this year; how many lawyers will never even come into contact with a Criminal Private Prosecution case in their entire lives, hey!

But complaining is complaining, what needs to be done must still be done.

Since the other party has initiated a Criminal Private Prosecution, they must conduct a detailed review here.

Zhou Xinran had already automatically gone to the side to wait, while the staff member inside was reviewing each piece of evidence; a Criminal Private Prosecution is different from a Civil Dispute, and the review is very detailed.

Because this involves whether or not to execute an arrest.

Finally, after about two hours, or however long it was, the staff member finally had a result.

"This Court decides to file the case!"

The plaintiff only needs to prove that the other party's remarks on the internet constitute an act of insult and meet the criteria for case filing, and next, she, Zhou Xinran, needs to apply for an Investigation Warrant, and then go to the relevant units to investigate the other party's identity information.

And in this case, the main target is the other party's comments on the small broken station, so naturally, Zhou Xinran will have to make another trip to Modu.

Carrying a pile of materials, she walked out of the Court; she had already applied, and it is estimated that the Court can issue the Investigation Warrant tomorrow.

She casually opened her phone to look at the other party's comments; well, in the time it took to return to Jingzhou, that guy's likes had already exceeded seven thousand.

This is really too normal; the other party didn't just scold Fang Dazhuang, they directly launched a map-cannon at the legal profession!

Any lawyer who sees this will feel angry, so it is obvious that everyone thinks you are very funeral.

Time quickly arrived at the next day; Zhou Xinran obtained the Investigation Warrant from the Guangming District Court and immediately headed straight to Modu with another colleague from the firm.

To use an Investigation Warrant, there must be at least two lawyers.

At the same time, inside Tengda Company, a professional filming team had already started shooting within the company.

Another activity "sponsored" by the system had begun!

Here, Zhou Yi did not insist on doing it himself, because there were too many people; if he were to film it alone, it would be very easy to have omissions due to insufficient material.

But a professional team is different; they make a living from this, and as long as you tell them the requirements, they have enough equipment and manpower to shoot enough material.

Then the company's professional team will do the editing; no problem.

"Quick, slash me once, everyone, I am already the luckiest one!"

"Pfft, everyone is the luckiest good brother, why put on such an act? Look at me, it says I have already surpassed how many percent of users."

"Damn, this is fine when playing alone, but looking at it now, it really is a bit absurd; for the same activity, everyone is the luckiest?"

As employees of Tengda Company, they feel that some of their boss's pedantic behaviors are a bit absurd.

But now that they have really seen so many people slashing prices together, they all feel that there are always some things in this world that are even more absurd!

The photography team hurriedly filmed this precious material.

If before, you could still say it was because of the algorithm that it showed you were the luckiest, but now that so many people have added each other as friends and then slashed prices together, you still say you are the luckiest?

This is what Zhou Yi talked about with Fang Dazhuang before; the thing called an algorithm, when looked at individually, you actually don't feel there is anything to it.

Because it is treated specially.

But if you put the data of a large number of samples together and look at it, you will feel, isn't this just coaxing a child?

And in such an atmosphere, finally, the moment Zhou Yi dreamed of arrived.

"Hey Fangfang, why does it show here that you have already successfully slashed the price? What's the situation, so fast?"

Ma Yao looked at Liu Fangfang next to her and asked very curiously.

Liu Fangfang's eyes revealed confusion: "No, Sister Yao, I just reached 99.9 percent here, with 0.1 percent left, how could it be successful."

Ma Yao hurriedly shouted: "Photographer, it appeared here!"

The photographer hurried over to record and collect evidence; algorithms, it sounds like a magical thing, but it fears comparison; once compared, you will feel, the so-called algorithm, is just this?

Good news kept coming out; of course, for the big guys who were slashing prices, this feeling was not very good.

Seeing it was just a little bit away, and then it asks you to pull more people.

And towards the end, after pulling people, the progress wouldn't even move.

Why say that the rules should be publicized? At the very least, it allows you to see that I need to pull how many people, and how many new users are needed inside.

Yes, new users; this is what has the greatest weight in the Pinduoduo algorithm.

No matter how many old users you pull, it might not be as good as one new user.

Actually, to put it bluntly, it is a sunk cost; seeing it is 99.9 percent, and you have also spent most of the day on it, and an item worth one or two thousand yuan is about to be in your hands.

At this time, it shows you that it is just one person away; what will you do? Even if it has deceived you countless times before, this time you will still choose to believe.

It is not that you really believe it, but that you feel you have "already slashed it," so you can't let all that time go to waste.

Then, after I finished cutting, I realized that for this little bit of money, I seemed to have invited many friends, both acquaintances and strangers; these friends are worth much more than that mobile phone or whatever you were cutting for.

Five hours, a full five hours, and finally, Zhou Yi called a stop.

"General Manager Zhou, looking at it now, one person has successfully finished cutting the price!"

He Ling, who was nearby, reported there.

"Huh? Someone actually succeeded in cutting the price?"

This time it was Zhou Mouren's turn to be dumbfounded; out of over two hundred people, one succeeded—damn it, this has to be asked about properly, otherwise, if the video is released, the other party will be able to laugh until they split their sides.

He Ling hurriedly said: "General Manager Zhou, it's a new Employee who just joined the Company. Not only did he pull so many people to help cut the price, but afterwards, he called his grandparents, his maternal grandparents, and even relatives like his uncles to register and download..."

They were all elderly, and none of them had downloaded Pinduoduo before; they were bona fide new users.

According to He Ling, the other party pulled no fewer than ten new users...

That's more like it; with so many new users, no matter how precious Pinduoduo's mobile phone is, it has to be cut and handed over.

"General Manager Zhou, should he still be edited in?"

"Edit him in. Seek truth from facts. We are not questioning that the activity is fake; our issue is that its rules are opaque and there is false, misleading language."

By the way, let everyone see that it took pulling so many new users to succeed; just ask yourselves if you have many elderly people at home.

The footage was quickly handed over to the Company's editing team for editing—the kind where they work overtime.

Naturally, Zhou Mouren treated everyone to a meal that evening and handed out everyone's mobile phones. By noon the next day, he had received the edited video, still fresh.

He took the video home and watched it once. It must be said, this team has been serving him for a while now, and the edited videos are becoming more and more to his liking.

Soon, Zhou Yi turned on the microphone and began recording.

"Hello, dear viewers, hello everyone. I am your old friend A Yi. I am very sorry to occupy precious public opinion resources again, but everyone should know that I have started fighting again recently."

"I did that experiment before, and I originally thought it would succeed, and it did indeed succeed, but the process made me very dissatisfied. I wanted Pinduoduo to explain the reason, yet they kept beating around the bush."

"Those inexplicable, misleading words, that completely opaque price-cutting process, and that progress bar that seems to be stuck at 99.9% forever, all make me very suspicious."

"Pinduoduo says that all their activities are legal, and I don't know if that's true."

"So, I had the Company's Employees conduct an interesting experiment!"

Next, Zhou Yi roughly introduced the content of the experiment, which was very similar to the Big Data Price Discrimination one; by using a large number of samples, he reflected that so-called algorithm rule.

"In this experiment, I can only say that everyone can actually have at least eight hundred to one thousand people help them cut the price, but because of time constraints, some people might not reach it."

"Let's look at the specific situation below!"

Following the Camera, Zhou Yi began to introduce the outrageous scenes that made people want to spit when they saw them.

"Everyone look, the same activity, the same time, and then, these people all received a 'most lucky' evaluation."

"Although my Chinese was taught by a PE teacher, I also know that the word 'most' cannot be used casually. Can there really be so many people who are 'most lucky'?"

"Everyone look here, look here, they are all 'most lucky'. Then the question arises: if they are all 'most lucky', does that mean they are actually all the same?"

"Alright, I know some people will say that this 'most' actually represents probability, meaning these people all reached the probability of being 'most lucky'. I won't talk about that for now."

"Let's look here. Look, two people are sitting right next to each other, both cutting the price, and the result is that the system prompts that the other one has already successfully cut the price. What kind of situation is this?"

"Could it be that they are still playing word games?"

After introducing the entire video, Zhou Yi finally said at the end: "Oh, sorry, I wasted everyone's public opinion resources. I am extremely sorry."

That Self-Media spoke so outrageously, how could he not cause trouble for them? Take it slow, everyone is in line.

After reviewing it back and forth and finding no problems, Zhou Yi immediately typed out the title with a clatter.

"Pinduoduo Price-Cutting Activity (Part 1)"

He didn't use those sensational titles because there was no need.

He clicked upload, Zhou Yi admired it for a moment, and then began to contact Fang Dazhuang.

Yesterday, Fang Dazhuang said he would send him some materials so he could go to the Police Station here in Jingzhou to report the case.

"So, Fang Dazhuang, is it about the Internet Water Army? You actually investigated it?"

To be honest, Zhou Yi had forgotten about that matter himself; he didn't expect Fang Dazhuang to really have a friend investigate it.

And there were results!

Internet Water Army, Zhou Yi instantly thought of that old friend of his.

As for Fang Dazhuang's behavior, it fits that saying very well: I am waiting for my cooldown, what are you waiting for?

For Fang Dazhuang, it is: I am waiting for the quota, what are you waiting for?

Regarding the Internet Water Army, what can currently be regulated under the Criminal Law is the crime of Illegal Business Operation!

In the Supreme People's Court's interpretation on several issues concerning the application of law in handling Criminal Cases such as defamation using information networks, there are relevant provisions.

An individual's illegal business amount of over fifty thousand can constitute the crime of Illegal Business Operation.

That is why Fang Dazhuang said the money wasn't enough and he had to wait until there was enough money.

Regarding this behavior of Fang Dazhuang, even Zhou Yi had to say, "Criminal" is indeed Fang Dazhuang's forte.

After preparing all these materials and evidence, he shouldered his huge bag again, and Zhou Mouren went downstairs, drove, and headed straight for the Police Station!

Inside the Police Station, a young police officer was sitting inside.

He was the young man Zhou Yi chased after when he took a carload of people to the Police Station before; his surname was Zhang, and his name was Zhang Hanwen.

Today it was his turn to be on duty inside.

Just as he was busy, he heard the sound of a car parking. He raised his head and saw a handsome guy walking in with a big bag on his back.

That bag was bulging, packed with quite a lot of things.

"Eh, Mr. Zhou? You're here again?"

The young man had a good memory and still remembered Zhou Yi.

Of course, it was mainly because the impression the other party left was too profound. Have you ever seen anyone bring a carload of people to report a case before? The key was that some of those people in the car were breaking the law and some were committing crimes...

Their station had just transferred Fang Xiaofeng and the others, who were suspected of the crime of Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble, to the Procuratorate, and it had entered the Review and Prosecution stage.

To put it in plain human language, I just finished working overtime.

"Ah, I'm here again, comrade, is Officer Zhou not in?"

Stepping into the Police Station and not seeing Lao Zhou, he felt a bit unaccustomed to it.

"Oh, he went out on a call, there was a police situation just now."

"What's wrong, Mr. Zhou? Is there something up?"

"It's nothing major, I just came to file a report..."

As he spoke, that large bag landed on the table with a bang.

"Comrade, why don't you take a look first? These are all pieces of evidence."

Zhang Hanwen: "(°ー°〃)"

At the moment he saw these materials, Zhang Hanwen had only one thought: although I am young, this business of working overtime is really getting a bit hard to handle!

At the grassroots level, cases like this are needed for performance metrics, but there can't be too many of them, okay!

If there are too many, the few people at the grassroots level really have to be used as one person doing the work of three; just how much overtime would that require?

Watching the other party open the backpack and pull out the evidence materials one by one, Zhang Hanwen felt his eyelids twitching!

"Wait, Mr. Zhou, could you first tell me what kind of case it is?"

"Sure, no problem!" Zhou Yi stopped his movements and then said: "It's about a case involving an Internet Water Army; I've already been targeted by an Internet Water Army several times."

Zhang Hanwen didn't understand; he knew what an Internet Water Army was, but he didn't grasp the meaning behind the rest of the words.

"The situation is like this, I'm actually an internet celebrity..."

Zhou Yi had originally intended to explain in detail, but he didn't expect that just after finishing stating his identity, the young man opposite suddenly thought of something.

"You are that... person who topped up one million?"

"Yes, that's me."

Zhang Hanwen had only recently joined the force, so he had only heard of it and wasn't very clear on the details.

But after the other party mentioned those glorious deeds, he finally remembered; isn't this the very person who is the talk of the town in the Jingzhou Legal System!

"Ahem, so you are that A Yi, alright then, I understand. So you are here today to report an Internet Water Army case, right? I have to report this to our leadership."

The young man didn't know if he was being smart or not, but seeing that he wouldn't be able to find a result by flipping through the materials, he decisively decided to report it up.

And to be honest, he wasn't very familiar with the Internet Water Army or this case itself.

Even if this case were actually filed, it might have to be handled by the branch bureau later.

It was mainly because technical support would be needed.

Very soon, the Police Station leader whom Zhou Yi had met before came out, looked at it for a long time, and was at a loss.

There was no other way, he could only tell Zhou Yi to go back first, and they would inform him within the stipulated time whether the case would be filed.

This was the first time since Zhou Yi had the system that a case wasn't filed on the spot, but before coming, Fang Dazhuang had already said as much.

This case was very complex; it wasn't a matter of just filing it because one wanted to.

To put it euphemistically, the strength of this evidence wasn't as great as before!

So it would depend on the investigation results of the Public Security Department.

Zhou Yi left, and Lao Zhou returned; after hearing Zhang Hanwen's report, his head started to ache.

"Zhou Yi, is it? Sigh, he said last time he was going to move, I don't know when he's moving; I hope he doesn't continue to be in our jurisdiction."

…………

In Modu, Zhou Xinran and her colleague went to meet Fang Dazhuang first.

Having an Investigation Warrant in hand doesn't mean you can do whatever you want; in this regard, Fang Dazhuang was needed to coordinate.

In a place like Modu, he knew the ropes.

Very soon, with the help of Fang Dazhuang, Zhou Xinran and her colleague met the manager specifically in charge at the small video site.

With a Court Investigation Order and Fang Dazhuang present, naturally, there were no surprises.

In less than half a day, it was settled; the identity information of the relevant users would be sent directly to the Guangming District Court by the small video site.

Zhou Xinran was now truly curious about what the other party's reaction would be when they saw the police show up at their door.

It's just a pity she couldn't see it, sigh.
