Chapter 89 Do you provide meals at the police station?

If this were someone with a weaker mental fortitude, suffering a mental breakdown from the insults would be a lucky outcome. They might even do something foolish, like taking their own life.

However, Shen Dao raised his head and looked at Qin Mu, who appeared calm and composed. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He suddenly felt pity for the group of people slandering Qin Mu.

"I looked into it in detail. The behavior of this delivery rider was mainly instigated by these eight people." Qin Mu pointed to this particular comment chain and continued, "According to criminal law, they are considered co-instigators, as guilty as the perpetrator. They also fall under the crime of poisoning."

In criminal law, there isn’t actually a distinct crime of "instigation." Instead, an instigation charge ultimately aligns with the crime committed by the perpetrator; the instigators share the same guilt and receive the same penalty.

And in this comment chain, these eight people were especially active, claiming to enforce justice on behalf of heaven, providing the rider with many "constructive" suggestions. If the person they targeted had done nothing, these commenters wouldn’t have committed a crime. But if the targeted person committed a crime due to their incitement and encouragement, they would all be as guilty as the perpetrator!

As for these people, he planned not to let any of them off.

"There’s also a third case. In this comment section, those with many likes... I plan to sue them for insult and defamation."

Afterward, Qin Mu scanned the comment section again, listing all those who had received more than five hundred likes. There were twenty-one comments in total, meaning twenty-one accounts—it was quite an extensive list.

When Shen Dao saw what Qin Mu was doing, a few lines of exasperation appeared on his face. He couldn’t help but say, "Insult and defamation cases are private prosecution cases. You can just go directly to the court; we don’t handle these."

These are private prosecution cases—the type that are disregarded if no one sues. If the involved party doesn’t file a suit, the police won’t intervene. After a suit is filed, it becomes a matter for the prosecutor’s office.

The first two cases, however, were public prosecution cases. Once the crimes of poisoning and instigation were established, the police would arrest the suspects, detain them, and initiate public prosecution.

However, since these three cases were related to the same incident, the court would conduct a unified trial when they adjudicated.

"I know that. The courts are closed for the next couple of days, so I’m just listing them for you first," Qin Mu nodded. With an air of doing them a favor, he continued, "These will be useful to you too. I’ll go with you to make a statement later, so you have a full understanding of the whole case."

With that said, he spent ten minutes organizing the information of these twenty-one accounts and handed it over to Shen Dao. His movements were skilled and practiced, as if from a well-rehearsed routine. He was already extremely skilled in making statements, gathering evidence, and organizing case details.

Although this matter wasn’t under the police station’s jurisdiction, Shen Dao would still need this information for his case closure report, as the case involved these individuals accused of defamation.

Shen Dao reached out and passively accepted the documents.

Something felt off.

Looking at Qin Mu’s "understanding" demeanor, he suddenly had the illusion that Qin Mu was one of their insiders.

"Let’s go. Aren’t you heading back to the station?"

While he was momentarily stunned, Qin Mu was already at the door, proactively urging them.

Shen Dao was speechless.

On the way to the police station in the police car, Qin Mu couldn’t help but ask, "By the way, it’s noon now. You guys provide lunch, right?"

「An hour later.」

After giving his statement, Qin Mu freeloaded a meal at the police station before returning home.

He first spent some time drafting the lawsuit, preparing to submit it to the court on Monday. Unlike the police station, the courts observed a weekend-off system. Unless it was a major case, the courts didn’t open on weekends to handle cases.

After finishing the lawsuit, he called Wang Dachui and told him about his plan to sue on three major charges.

"FUCK!"

On the phone, Wang Dachui couldn’t help but curse after hearing the news. In his entire career, he had never encountered such a thrilling case.

If he were in Qin Mu’s shoes, having ordered takeout and encountered this situation, his first reaction would definitely be to seek compensation from the other party and demand civil damages.

But Qin Mu...

He had directly accused the other party of poisoning! And in terms of the constituent elements of the crime, it was a perfect match! Once the police detected a pathogen in the saliva, the charge would be practically sealed! Three to ten years!

"Accept!"

"I’m taking this case!"

It’s another case even a pig could win!

With hardly any hesitation, Wang Dachui immediately agreed and decided to represent this case.

Although poisoning and incitement were public prosecution cases that would be initiated by the police, during the trial, the police’s criminal defense lawyer, the plaintiff’s lawyer, and the defendant’s lawyer would all participate.

After Qin Mu hung up the phone, he lay back down on the sofa and continued scrolling on his phone, patiently waiting for the lab results from Shen Dao.

「At five in the afternoon.」

He received a personal call from Shen Dao, who informed him that they had indeed detected an infectious pathogen.

The pathogen was quite common in daily life—just an ordinary cold virus. Usually, if one wasn’t careful, they could be infected by someone nearby who had a cold.

However, in this particular case, the other party had committed the crime of poisoning by spitting in his takeout!

「Jin City.」

In a certain residential complex, Liang Shuqi was lying comfortably on the sofa, scrolling through his phone. Today, he had only delivered one order before returning home, and his mood was now especially pleasant.

These netizens’ suggestions are really good. I wonder if that person who left a negative review ate the saliva I spat in there?

He casually grabbed a tissue and wiped his nose, his expression filled with a hint of anticipation.

Yesterday, he admitted he was at fault. He had even gone to the customer’s door to explain how much a negative review affected him. Yet the customer remained relentless, refusing to remove it.

Initially, he had been prepared to accept his bad luck. That night, he recorded his ordeal on video, planning to gain the audience’s sympathy and attract some followers.

As a result, the video suddenly blew up. As of now, it had reached six million views. Many kind-hearted netizens even expressed their intention to crowdfund donations for him. Among them, a few suggested a way for him to vent his anger: spit in the customer’s takeout!

His delivery area was near the customer who had left the bad review. By carefully checking the order addresses, he could find Qin Mu’s order.

For this reason, he hadn’t delivered any orders all day. Instead, he constantly refreshed the delivery rider app until he finally received that customer’s order.

Afterward, following the netizens’ suggestion, he spat in the braised chicken.

While this act couldn’t legally punish the other party, it could certainly disgust them. Even if discovered, the most he’d have to do was compensate them for a sixteen-yuan braised chicken and rice meal.
