Chapter 448: Come to Handong, Remember to Memorize the Criminal Law (Making up for yesterday's missed update)

~16 min read 3,164 words

This is truly a coincidence; the police comrades in Jingzhou don't even need to conduct cross-provincial arrests, because there is a high probability that the other party is in Jingzhou.

If possible, Zhou Yi would actually like to tell that internet-famous Lawyer after she gets arrested: Come to Handong, remember to memorize the Criminal Law.

But there is certainly no opportunity for that.

Throughout the whole process, Zhou Xinran stood by and watched coldly.

She suddenly spoke up: "I can tell, Lawyer Fang is actually quite invested in this case."

He even double-checked the evidence again while preparing to hand it over to Zhou Yi...

Upon hearing this, Fang Dazhuang said with a serious face: "We lawyers must be diligent. Xinran, this attitude of yours is not right; you must be diligent, and even more diligent!"

Zhou Xinran hurriedly nodded, though she was thinking to herself that while he was diligent before, his attitude was not like this.

Now it seems that the words Zhou Yi said really did weigh on his mind...

When someone jumps out and says "I can go fifty-fifty with you," and you say "I have no opinion," if you truly had no opinion, you wouldn't be Fang Dazhuang.

Zhou Yi, however, did not notice these things and stuffed the not-so-abundant evidence into his bag.

"I'm off, Lawyer Fang."

He is now impatient to hurry up and send the other party in!

And after Zhou Yi left, Fang Dazhuang sat back down and took out that black-covered notebook.

As soon as Zhou Xinran saw this notebook, she was like a mouse seeing a cat and hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

This thing is much more stimulating than her own little notebook; having seen some of the earlier content, if she didn't know that Fang Dazhuang was working hard to do those things, she would have thought Fang Dazhuang was indulging in wishful thinking.

One can only say that a big-shot Lawyer who has transcended low-level interests is truly too ruthless.

Fang Dazhuang picked up a pen and started scribbling on it; from above his shoulder, one could vaguely see this sentence: An unexpected joy, today there is an actual case for the crime of teaching criminal methods, one should drink a large cup of wine to celebrate!

The place for reporting the case this time was the Guangmingfeng Police Station; for these kinds of cases on the internet, if you cannot determine anything else, just go to the police station with jurisdiction over your place of residence to report it.

As a result, just as he reached the door, he heard a voice: "Eh, is that Zhou Yi?"

Turning around to look, it was that female police officer named Chen Li.

"Good morning, Officer Chen. There is another matter today; I've come to report a case."

Chen Li's eyes lit up instantly; heaven and conscience are my witness, last time this guy ran to the Zhonglou Police Station to report that drug trafficking case, which caused the Zhonglou Police Station to be arrogant for a long time!

Everyone is involution-ing now, with all kinds of KPIs; seeing the neighbors achieve a great merit, they naturally look on with envy.

And so, seeing Zhou Yi come, she was so happy!

"Come, come, come, let's talk inside. Have you eaten? I have a few packs of instant noodles there..."

Ten minutes later, both sides sat down, and Chen Li and another police officer began to carefully examine the evidence submitted by Zhou Yi.

"The crime of teaching criminal methods?" Chen Li was also stunned when she saw the charge on the materials in her hand.

Fortunately, she remembered it quickly; although grassroots police officers deal with many trivial matters on a daily basis, they still have to flip through some of the materials in their hands.

The key is that this charge is really very uncommon!

And then there is the other party's name... the situation of having the same name is a bit too serious these days.

Police Officer Chen Li investigating Lawyer Chen Li—it just feels like there is a sense of comedy to it.

Chen Li looked at it for a long time; unlike the previous cases, she couldn't confirm it now, even if this evidence looked very detailed.

"Zhou Yi, you go back for now. We will conduct a detailed review here, and we will notify you once we confirm the Case Filing, how about that?"

Zhou Yi opposite her had already anticipated this result and chuckled: "No problem. But Officer Chen, I wanted to say, Chen Li... that is, that internet-famous Lawyer, should be in Jingzhou right now."

After saying this, Zhou Yi smiled and took his leave; without this sentence, the time required for the review might have been a bit longer, but with this sentence, it is different.

Only Chen Li and the police officer next to her were left looking at each other; this must be reported immediately!

Zhou Yi believes that the internet-famous Lawyer did not subjectively intend to teach criminal methods, but this charge does not require subjective intent either.

It's fine now; the next step is to sit and wait for the other party to be arrested.

On the internet, it is less that Zhou Yi's audience is arguing with the internet-famous Lawyer's fans, and more that Fang Dazhuang's fans are arguing with the other side.

Because after Chen Li posted a video on how to "legally" obtain the Bride Price without being considered Fraud, many people felt: Look at Lawyer Chen, she can even bypass the Criminal Law to let people gain benefits; this is clearly having high-level skills!

"You ask, ask that so-called Fang Dazhuang, does he have this ability? Can he teach everyone how to bypass the Criminal Law? Just kidding, lawyers are meant to find legal loopholes; anyone without this ability is clearly not a good lawyer."

This is what many of Chen Li's fans have on their lips; in their words, if you, Fang Dazhuang, were so capable, you would release such videos too.

Look at what your previous videos were: popularizing the law for others, explaining charges—those are things you can find anywhere on the internet, do they still need you to say them?

Similar remarks are increasing, and many people on Fang Dazhuang and Zhou Yi's side have no way to respond.

In Lincheng, Guan Yan already wanted to throw her phone; she is very puzzled as to why these people on the internet have such great malice toward Fang Dazhuang, with some even saying directly that this person surnamed Fang has no skills and should stop wandering around.

But Fang Dazhuang clearly hasn't appeared for a long time, yet they keep picking on the few shots of him appearing in Zhou Yi's videos to criticize him in every way.

If it were just saying that Fang Dazhuang's skills are not good, then Zhou Cainiao's personal account is already feeling a bit like it has fallen. "You are too much of a rookie lawyer; look at how Lawyer Chen 'popularizes the law'!"

Fortunately, everyone still has some sense; the rhythm is flying everywhere, but no one dares to go to Zhou Mouren's comment section to spray, at most they come to other places to make a few snide remarks.

The various apology letters on the internet some time ago also scared some people; this was still without Tengda conducting Legal Aid.

Zhou Xinran naturally became a target; who told her to set up an account on the internet to post videos? If you want to be an internet celebrity, you have to be prepared to be sprayed.

A certain handsome guy doesn't count.

Some people are just keyboard warriors; this is a sickness, they simply cannot control themselves and need someone to educate them properly.

Some people who know the inside story all thought A Yi would fight back, but unexpectedly, A Yi seems to have really chickened out!

It has been more than ten days since that internet-famous Lawyer Chen refused to return his messages, and there has been no movement.

On the contrary, the Lawyer herself has now started a Lawsuit, saying that someone infringed on her Right of Reputation, and she posted the Indictment; her career is booming.

What does this show? In front of such a lawyer, even A Yi has no way!

What is called hitting a hard wall? This is it. A Yi has been arrogant for so long, it's time for him to encounter problems.

Inside a well-known hotel in Jingzhou City, the internet-famous Lawyer Chen Li looked at the messages on her phone and revealed a smile; she felt that her series of decisions recently were really quite good.

Not to mention the surge in traffic, her reputation has also become very big.

Of course, she herself knew that she was not the most formidable Lawyer as the internet claimed; the true titans of the legal profession were all silently lurking in the shadows.

It was just that this title sounded very pleasant; in any case, it was only on the internet, and while she would neither admit to it nor deny it.

Her assistant at her side also said with a face full of smiles, "Sister Chen, the Court has asked us to go for Mediation... do you think we should go?"

"Go, of course. Just put on a show. In any case, we certainly cannot agree to it. The fans on the internet like to see Judgments, they don't like to see some Mediation Agreement," Chen Li said casually.

She truly felt she had found the traffic code; to many people, things like Mediation meant surrender, so it absolutely could not be done.

Time quickly arrived at the morning of the next day, and Chen Li brought her assistant to the Guangming District People's Court.

They contacted the presiding judge and walked all the way into the Mediation Room inside.

As soon as she entered the door, she recognized Wang Caixia at first glance; in truth, the other party had a temperament that let you know at a glance that this was a woman not to be trifled with.

However, Chen Li did not say anything; wearing exquisite makeup, she walked slowly to the opposite side and sat down.

Li Xusheng spoke up, "Alright, everyone is here, let's begin now."

"Lawyer Chen, you may state your demands first."

For Judge Li, this was a very ordinary Civil Dispute; ever since a certain handsome guy became less keen on Civil Disputes, their workload had become a bit lighter.

On the other hand, Lao Wu and the others in the Criminal Division No. 2 next door were said to have started losing their hair like crazy recently.

Judges have Free Discretion, but for some obscure charges, one will also lose hair...

This made Li Xusheng very happy; seeing his colleagues having a hard time made him feel very happy.

Upon hearing this, Chen Li nodded politely at Li Xusheng and immediately said, "The other party's behavior led to me being subjected to Internet Violence, causing my Right of Reputation to be infringed upon. Because I am an internet celebrity and rely on this, it has resulted in significant losses..."

She had never intended to settle, so naturally, she made an exorbitant demand.

Upon hearing the demand for two hundred thousand yuan in compensation and a public apology, Wang Caixia, who had previously looked like she didn't want to speak, suddenly came to life!

"Two hundred thousand? Why don't you go rob someone!"

"Judge, on what grounds does she want two hundred thousand? Does she get paid this much just for being cursed at a few times?"

Chen Li did not speak, she just started drinking water; she did not need to argue.

What "rob or not," doing this was faster at making money than robbery.

Li Xusheng spoke up, "Ms. Wang, please don't be agitated. Since this is Mediation, it is certain that both sides must take a step back. Lawyer Chen, your demand is a bit too high."

If a presiding judge says this during Mediation, it is telling you that even if it goes to trial, your demand will not be supported.

But Chen Li smiled and said, "Judge Li, my demand will not change. If she does not agree, then let's have a Lawsuit; I don't mind."

"Furthermore, as the presiding judge, I feel that saying 'each take a step back' is unreasonable; it feels a bit like trying to smooth things over, after all, our Court still needs to uphold fairness and justice."

What the hell? Li Xusheng looked at Chen Li in front of him; did this person know what she was saying?

He was the judge responsible for the Mediation and also the presiding judge, and she was saying he was smoothing things over?

He was speechless. These internet celebrities nowadays were all a bit inexplicable. She used to be a lawyer; could it be that she was angered by some judge in the past and was now coming to take it out on him?

Li Xusheng could not figure it out, but he was a judge after all, so he could only suppress his anger and smile, "I have heard Lawyer Chen's suggestion, but since it is Mediation, this is not smoothing things over."

It was very clear that this Mediation work could not proceed because Wang Caixia already had a tendency to go berserk.

Li Xusheng felt mentally exhausted; he was already thinking of temporarily stopping the Mediation and then talking to both sides separately to see what they were actually thinking.

If that didn't work, then they would go to trial and judge it however it should be judged.

Just at this moment, his cell phone rang.

Li Xusheng took out his phone and prepared to hang up, only to find it was a staff member from the Court.

"Hello, Lao Zhang, what? We are in Mediation Room No. 5, okay, I understand."

Chen Li and Wang Caixia both looked over, because while he was speaking just now, Li Xusheng's facial expression had changed too much; it was an expression of "shock mixed with a bit of bewilderment."

Judge Li ignored this, hung up the phone, looked at Chen Li with a strange expression, and then said, "Can both of you calm down? Calm down, drink some water, let's take a break."

"You say this matter wasn't that serious to begin with. Ms. Wang, clearly the matter had nothing to do with Lawyer Chen, you thought of revenge and that's why you posted it on the internet. Don't you think you should take a step back?"

"And Lawyer Chen..."

Chen Li felt it was strange listening to Li Xusheng rambling on there. Why did this Judge Li suddenly have so much to say, and all he was saying were platitudes?

It was very clear that saying these platitudes during Mediation was not very useful. Everyone knew in their hearts whether what they were doing was right or not; Mediation was about weighing the pros and cons to reach a level that both sides could accept.

Although it was strange, she couldn't interrupt, and she couldn't leave, so she could only continue listening there.

And then Li Xusheng just kept dragging it out for ten minutes...

Just as his mouth was dry from talking, the door to the Mediation Room was pushed open, and a group of about five or six police officers walked in; the one in front was precisely Police Officer Chen Li.

Police Officer Chen Li looked at Lawyer Chen Li, stepped forward, and said, "You are Chen Li, right? ID number... place of residence... is there any problem?"

Seeing these people enter, Li Xusheng breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his cup to start drinking water, and then put on an expression of watching a show.

He naturally knew about the huge commotion on the internet; he never felt that Zhou Yi would back down.

Because he was the presiding judge for that guy's first Lawsuit, and he had handled many cases related to the other party over such a long time.

It could be said that he understood Zhou Yi very well!

He wouldn't back down, no matter who else did.

Look, didn't they just arrive? If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem, and the problem will naturally disappear. How simple.

Thus, Judge Li watched the show very happily...

Lawyer Chen looked at the police in front of her, completely bewildered, and subconsciously replied, "Ah, it's me."

"Very well, Chen Li, you are now summoned by the Guangming District Branch in accordance with the law for suspected Teaching Criminal Methods. This is the Criminal Summons Document, please come with us!"

As the words fell, there was not a sound left in the Mediation Room.

Wang Caixia on the opposite side looked at the situation in front of her with a blank face, not daring to say a single word.

Lawyer Chen was even staring with her eyes wide open, as if unable to comprehend. She certainly knew of this charge back then, but after so many years had passed, she had lost all sensitivity toward such relatively obscure charges.

Now that she heard it, those memories began to surge back. Right, there was also this charge. Wait, the things I did before, did I really commit a crime?

Seeing that the lawyer opposite was not moving, another police officer beside Police Officer Chen Li said, "Alright Chen Li, you are also a lawyer and know our procedures. This is the Court; if you delay any longer, we will have to take compulsory measures."

Lawyer Chen finally reacted and wanted to say something to the assistant beside him, but there was no time left.

And so, under the gaze of everyone in the room, this internet celebrity who had been popular for a while was taken away.

The assistant was stunned for a long time, then suddenly took the phone and walked out; something big had happened!

Internet celebrities like Chen Li all have relevant companies and teams behind them; her being taken away had too great an impact.

They could only have the company quickly find a good lawyer to see if there was any way to handle it.

Not long after, the professional MCN Company located in Modu, Dashi Brand Management Co., Ltd., received the call.

"Our internet celebrity was also arrested?"

Noon... it's not too late, I suppose... probably, because my slacking time in the morning was limited, I held my laptop and hid in the restroom to write the rest.

The guy in the next stall is probably very confused, wondering why there is a clattering sound here, emmm...

Thanks to Brother Saluorenjian, another new brother, Wenchidage, and Feimaowuyu; thank you brothers for the tips, thank you.
