Chapter 84: Chapter 84: A Casual Toss, A Minimum of 3 Years!
After the video was released, Qin Mu stretched languidly. He picked up his phone, planning to order some takeout for himself. Ever since he bought the house, he had been staying at home at night. Apart from the high-rise littering incident he encountered on the first day he moved in, he was quite satisfied with this house. The environment was nice and very quiet. At least for the several days he had lived there, he hadn’t found any so-called renovation issues or disturbances. Staying there at night was rather comfortable, too.
The only imperfection was... he couldn’t cook. To be precise, he could cook, but only food that was edible. Wanting to cook something delicious was almost impossible. Especially when he was alone... takeout was naturally the first choice.
...
「At the same time.」
「Zizhou.」
In a high-end residential district, Qing Lan had just finished dinner and was playing several rounds of "Pesticide" on the soft sofa at home. Her performance was brutally lousy, concluding at an astonishing 0-8. During the game, her four teammates transformed into rage beasts from Zu’an, showering her and her relatives with fervent ’greetings.’ The warfare even extended to her ancestors eighteen generations back. Fortunately, the clever Qing Lan decisively muted all her teammates, saving her family tree from total annihilation.
In e-sports, being bad is the original sin, she was well aware of that.
If I were Qin Mu, they definitely wouldn’t dare to flame me like this!
After exiting the game, Qing Lan’s cheeks puffed with frustration, and she felt somewhat wronged. She was just a *little* bit terrible, that’s all...
Right, it’s been several days, she thought. I wonder if that creator, Qin Mu, has uploaded any new videos.
Subsequently, she opened a platform app on her phone. With a quick refresh, she saw Qin Mu’s latest video, and her expression instantly brightened.
This creator... how did he suddenly become so ’kind’?
Just reading the title, Qing Lan couldn’t help but murmur to herself. In the past, this creator used legal weapons to punish those who engaged in moral coercion or pushed boundaries in daily life, which was very satisfying to see. Each time he would deal with a whole group of people. But this time, the title stated he was only "sending away" one person, which really surprised her.
With curiosity, she clicked on the video, which was less than ten minutes long.
At the beginning of the video, Qin Mu faced the camera, talking about a common occurrence in everyday life: high-rise littering!
In fact, almost everyone living in city high-rises has experienced this to some extent. Walking down the street, you often hear a loud crash. But most of the time, it’s just items accidentally falling from balconies, landing on the green belt. And in the video, Qin Mu almost got hit just walking through a walkway in the complex... That situation was simply terrifying.
In the video, Qin Mu, of course, didn’t let the matter rest and immediately sought out property management. At first, the property management shirked responsibility, trying to quiet things down. They simply issued a group notice as a mild warning. This continued until Qin Mu called the police on the spot, and officers from the local station arrived.
Well done! Seeing this part, Qing Lan blinked her large eyes, a thrill running through her. When property management is uncooperative, calling the police is indeed the wisest choice.
However... tracing the source of high-altitude littering will probably be difficult.
As expected, the investigation reached a deadlock midway through the video. Identifying the culprit in a 30-story building is extremely difficult. Moreover, the sentencing and punishment for the crime of high-altitude littering are far too lenient. Without severe consequences, even if the culprit is found, they are most likely only to face a fine and administrative detention. A prison sentence was out of the question.
At that moment, in the video, Qin Mu smiled faintly and explained the legal provision for endangering public safety by dangerous means.
"The main purpose of making this video today," Qin Mu said, "is to spread awareness about high-altitude littering."
"Although the sentencing for high-altitude littering is low and the cost small, it is a composite crime, meaning one act can violate multiple laws."
"If it results in injury or death, it constitutes the crime of intentional injury or intentional homicide, and the perpetrator will be punished for the more serious offense."
"Even if it doesn’t result in any consequences, the mere act of throwing objects itself constitutes the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous means."
"This crime is an act-based offense, with no distinction between completed and attempted acts. As long as the action is carried out, it constitutes a criminal offense!"
On the couch, Qing Lan’s eyes widened. Listening to Qin Mu’s explanation of the legal provisions in the video, she had a sudden realization.
If Qin Mu hadn’t explained this... she would never have known that the crime of high-altitude littering could have such far-reaching implications! A casual toss, and it’s at least three years, possibly up to ten! Regardless of whether anyone gets hit!
I hope this video goes viral so more people understand how serious high-altitude littering is... Qing Lan swallowed hard. Before the video even finished, she’d already given it coins, likes, and shared it enthusiastically.
In today’s age where internet traffic reigns supreme, videos of this kind, which teach through personal experience and spread positive energy, are indeed rare. Actually, even in her city of Zizhou, there were dozens of cases involving severe injuries caused by high-altitude littering every year. The reason lay with those litterers who didn’t use their brains or consider the consequences, harming others as well as themselves. But now, Qin Mu’s video used "personal experience" to tell those mindless people that a casual toss means at least three years!
The video continued playing. Qin Mu’s next move was even more unexpected for her.
He actually... sued an entire building? She twitched the corner of her mouth slightly. She still remembered how, in the last video, Qin Mu had just ’sent in’ an entire company. This time, it was even more outrageous. He actually wanted to ’send in’ everyone in an entire building!
Then, in the video, Qin Mu displayed legal documents such as court acceptance paperwork and case filing notifications. Everyone in the building had received a summons from the court! Under these circumstances, the residents of the building finally began to cooperate actively. The culprit was finally revealed.
In the end, after a series of twists and turns, the person responsible for the littering was sentenced to six years of fixed-term imprisonment!
"This... this isn’t just ’sending in’ one person; he nearly took down an entire building," she muttered with a wry smile. The shock she felt took a long time to subside.
And the comments section of the video was, as usual, civilized and harmonious. No matter how outrageous the videos this creator published, the comments section was always filled with "The weather is nice today" and "Study hard and make progress every day."
...
「Meanwhile.」
In Jin City, at the Mountain and Water Garden District.
Just one hour, and it already has over a hundred thousand views? Qin Mu looked at the video he had just posted, somewhat surprised. This time, the video seemed to be even more popular than the previous ones. The number of likes had already surpassed ten thousand. The number of shares had reached over six thousand. The number of comments was soaring at a rate of more than ten per second.
The only downside was... his comments section didn’t quite look like a comments section. Viewers who had watched the video all ended up going to the account of another creator named Ma Xiaotiao.
