End-of-Month Reflections and Beginning-of-Month Request for Votes

It's not really about writing any reflections; I mainly want to answer a few questions from before.

Last month I updated 210,000 words, which is a bit less than before; I still need to work hard on updates.

First, to answer regarding the elements of crime in Criminal Law, quite a few professional readers replied saying that the Four Elements Theory is no longer used, and that the Two-Tier Theory or Three-Tier Theory is used instead.

Because of this, it wasn't enough to just say it in the comments section; some readers specifically joined the group and then private messaged me, lecturing me for a long time, saying that if I don't understand, I shouldn't write nonsense, and that everyone uses the Two-Tier Theory now, and so on...

Originally, since this already involves theoretical matters, I really felt there was no need to specifically explain it. After all, when everyone reads the book, they are watching how A Yi gets serious and how it's satisfying. Aside from those in the legal profession, who would specifically look into this?

Of course, I am aware of this matter, and while I'm at it, I will also answer why I still use the Four Elements Theory here.

First, when I was in school, I learned the Four Elements Theory, and when I took the Judicial Examination, I was tested on the Four Elements Theory. Even now, some schools still use the Four Elements Theory for teaching. It's not that I don't know about the Two-Tier or Three-Tier theories, but I am not as proficient in using them as the Four Elements Theory. When I write a novel, I naturally use the method I understand best.

Second, I don't know why, but the Four Elements Theory and the Two-Tier Theory are theoretical disputes. Currently, the biggest difference is not reflected in the practice of Criminal Law; the main difference is in the Judicial Examination... but for some reason, the theories seem to be like fire and water.

Third, regarding how it is applied in specific Court judgments, you can look at the specific judgments. Personally, I feel that in many cases, both theories can lead to the same conclusion. The Four Elements Theory is easier to get started with, while the Two-Tier Theory has higher requirements for logical thinking.

So I write using the Four Elements Theory—it's simple and clear. I just didn't expect it to cause controversy, so I'm explaining it here. If you feel you can't accept it, I certainly won't be specifically revising it. After all, in writing a novel, the plot comes first. If you really want to see professional content, it is better to watch Luo Laoshi's videos or read legal textbooks.

The second matter is regarding the recent case and the controversy triggered by some examples within it. In terms of Written Law, it is very normal for similar cases to have different judgments regarding sentencing. Even some judgments themselves are controversial, which is understandable. Law is something where people have different understandings, so please don't attack others casually; let's just focus on reading the book.

Just like the luxury car case, I have already explained this well. The judgment has a basis. The Company that sold the car had already uploaded those maintenance records, and the car owner discovered the problem through this channel, so it is said that the Right to Know was infringed upon, but there was no fraud.

If that Company had not uploaded them after maintenance and was then discovered, that would be clear-cut fraud. This should be clear now, right?

Returning to the plot, I will say again: I am not writing a saintly protagonist. He is not a good person in the traditional sense, so he took revenge.

His private words with Fang Dazhuang don't count; in Court, only evidence matters. This is something I emphasize again: the Court will not help you clarify the facts; the Court will only make a judgment based on the evidence you provide.

But likewise, we have the crime of fabricating evidence, penalties for malicious Lawsuit, etc., so it's not like you can do whatever you want.

These are mainly the two issues. I didn't expect that even after reading this far, some people still think the protagonist cannot take revenge on others...

Finally, there is an event in December, so everyone, throw your monthly votes over here!
