This director is vindictive.

Chapter 200 It took this bullet three months to hit its target.

To Chen Mo's surprise, this time he was embroiled in a fraud scandal. Although it was just a farce, netizens' hopes that Chen Mo could make an anti-fraud movie were quite substantial.

Chen Mo simply replied on Weibo: "Received!"

Instantly, netizens below offered their suggestions!

Many shared their experiences of being scammed by telecom fraud and online fraud, proving that in the internet age, almost everyone is susceptible to this.

While not everyone has been scammed, they are certainly familiar with it, as they often see obviously fraudulent online advertisements or receive scam phone calls.

So, related topics suddenly became a hot topic online.

At first, netizens claimed they were providing Chen Mo with inspiration and material.

However, many netizens quickly joined in.

Share your experiences with telecom fraud and online fraud!

"I used to receive all sorts of scam and sales calls frequently, but because of my job, I couldn't set up my phone to reject calls from strangers."

So whenever I see an unknown number, I answer it immediately at first, and then hang up as soon as I realize it's not someone I know.

But then, I suddenly discovered the fun in it, so I answered the call and set up AI calling. Turns out, some idiot actually chatted with the AI ​​for over ten minutes!

"I received a call from someone claiming to be my boss. I was just being cautious, otherwise I would not only have been scammed out of money, but I probably would have lost my job!"

"I remember once when I was at the police station, I received a call from someone claiming to be a police officer. They said I was suspected of something and that they needed to file a case. I immediately handed the phone to a police officer at the station, who then spoke directly with the scammer and asked him, 'Did you call to ask them to open a case for investigation or something?'"

Wow, in no time, netizens started sharing all sorts of experiences.

This shows that online fraud has indeed become a common occurrence in people's lives.

Then something that surprised many people happened: Shengshi Pictures' stock price actually rose in response.

Chen Mo himself was baffled and couldn't understand the logic behind it at all.

However, Chen Mo quickly understood.

Because he soon received calls from several old acquaintances, such as the two old Wangs, Chen Sicheng from Wanda, and his female confidantes.

One by one, they called Chen Mo to ask about the anti-fraud movie.

Clearly, they also saw the business opportunities in this type of film. For them, seeing so many netizens stirring up this topic, coupled with the fact that Chen Mo's realistic films have been successful one after another, made them very interested.

So naturally, their first priority was to get involved and secure a share of the investment.

As for Chen Mo's female confidantes, they simply called to ask if there were any suitable roles for them in the movie.

Actually, they don't lack resources, especially now that they're all incredibly wealthy. They've basically transcended the realm of mere actors and stars, so they really don't lack resources.

But they all wanted to act in Chen Mo's movies.

Chen Mo had considered it; the role of the female lead in the film was indeed quite suitable.

However, Fan Binbin, Zhao Liying, and Jing Tian were the first three people Chen Mo ruled out.

The main point is to be a master of impartiality; one cannot show favoritism to one side or the other.

Fan Binbin and Zhao Liying just starred in Chen Mo's "Article 20", so they will definitely give the opportunity to others.

Actually, there weren't any special requirements for that role; as long as she was pretty, that was fine.

As for Jing Tian, ​​she has now become the apple of her parents' eye, and Chen Mo often takes time to visit her. There's no way around it; pregnant women definitely have special privileges.

Of course, he couldn't possibly let her play this role.

Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Yuqi, and Yang Mi are all quite suitable.

Chen Mo is not in a hurry to make a decision on who to choose.

Even if this movie is to be made, it won't be so quick. It's a realistic film, and even though Chen Mo has the original version from his previous life as a reference, he still needs to learn more about related materials.

This wasn't difficult. Chen Mo had specifically pulled some strings. Actually, it was just that the National Anti-Fraud Center hadn't been established yet; otherwise, it wouldn't have required so much trouble.

Chen Mo is now a big celebrity, so after using his connections, he quickly obtained a lot of information on online fraud cases from several media outlets.

Chen Mo also specifically sought out several law enforcement officers who had previously cracked large-scale fraud cases, and obtained a considerable amount of information from them.

In the second phase, Chen Mo will also visit those who were tricked into going to the north but successfully escaped and returned, to learn more from them.

However, while Chen Mo was busy gathering materials, he suddenly found himself trending on social media again.

"More than two months later, the bullet of Article 20 has finally hit its target again!"

"Was it an act of heroism or excessive self-defense? The real-life version of the final chapter of Article 20 is unfolding!"

"With a 90% similarity, a real-life version of Article 20, a case of acts of bravery has suddenly occurred. What will the outcome be? Let's wait and see!"

That's right, the "good Samaritan" case occurred on the evening of December 26, 2018.

The reason this case spread across the internet so quickly is because it is very similar to the Mu Jun case in Article 20, where the incident occurred.

In the movie, Mu Jun, the person involved in this case, was ultimately convicted of excessive self-defense and intentional injury, and sentenced to six years in prison!

Even after the other party was released from prison, the female lawyer played by Fan Binbin still did not forget to overturn his case.

However, the movie did not provide a conclusion.

And no one expected that a similar case would actually happen in real life.

Similarly, after this case occurred, the media reported it immediately, and netizens followed up immediately, instantly igniting public opinion.

The debate between acts of heroism and intentional injury has always existed, but the Kunshan "Brother Long" case caused people to overlook this issue after the previous "Article 20".

But now, the old story has been brought up again, and the movie has once again become a reality. Although more than two months have passed, it is still fresh in the minds of many netizens.

In fact, compared to acts of heroism, the controversy between acts of bravery and intentional injury has always been ongoing.

On the one hand, everyone says that the law should protect these kind and brave people who do good deeds. On the other hand, the outcome of such incidents is often like that in the movie "Article 20".

This is why this "good Samaritan" case suddenly caused such a sensation.

Zhao Yu, who acted bravely in this case, was criminally detained by the police on December 29, three days after the incident, on suspicion of intentional injury.

That's why it sparked such a huge controversy.

While this case isn't exactly the same as the one in the movie, as the media reports, it's at least 90% similar!
For a time, the dilemma of whether it was legitimate self-defense or intentional harm, and the plight of those who acted bravely to help others, once again became a focal point of discussion.

"Holy crap, Chen Mo is amazing! He actually predicted it!"

"I wouldn't call it a prediction. It's just that the country is so big, and a lot of things happen every day. It just so happens that this case is very similar to the movie! I just hope it will have a good outcome!"

"In the movie, Mu Jun was convicted of intentional injury. So, was it legitimate self-defense or excessive self-defense?"

"I guess so? This is really hard to explain!"

"If it were that easy to determine, things wouldn't have come to this!"

Many people are pessimistic about this matter.

As netizens have analyzed, Mu Jun in the movie was convicted of excessive self-defense, and you can't say he was wrong. However, even so, it's still hard to accept.

After all, the other party could be said to have acted "righteously and bravely," and people always hope that there will be more such righteous and brave individuals in life and in reality.

Suddenly, the pressure fell on the local law enforcement agencies.

After all, any case, no matter how small, will be magnified once it sparks public opinion.

Chen Mo also put aside his work to focus on this case.

Although he had read about the case in his previous life, he knew that although the case had many twists and turns, the outcome was good.

However, it took more than two months to reach a final result, which is quite different from the Kunshan "Brother Long" case.

His choice of this case as the final case for the film was actually quite deliberate.

He wanted to see if the influence of the film "Article 20" could truly bring about a turning point in the case, or at least lead to a result sooner.

However, the outcome was still full of twists and turns.

Despite the public outcry, it put pressure on the relevant local departments.

However, this case cannot be solved overnight. After all, this case is actually different from the Kunshan Brother Long case.

In that case, Article 20 provided a perfect judicial interpretation, which was perfectly applied to the case.

Because this case is simpler and clearer, many legal professionals are pessimistic, believing that although everyone stands on the side of the Good Samaritan and hopes the law can provide better protection for kind and brave people.

However, it will be quite difficult to rule this case as legitimate self-defense!
However, the case is still pending, but observant netizens have already noticed another issue.

So what is the truth? The cause, process, and outcome of the incident have not yet been fully disclosed.

The same media outlets have also been following and reporting on this case.

The case quickly became a sensation.

Netizens who know the facts but not the reasons behind them are in a state of great agitation.

The reason this case has garnered so much attention among netizens is based on a simple sense of justice: good people should be rewarded, and bad people should be brought to justice.

One expert commented: "The reason netizens are paying so much attention to this case is probably because they are using it to vent their pent-up dissatisfaction with the apathetic society. People hope for justice to be served and yearn for more heroes who will speak out against injustice. Such simple wishes should be recognized and encouraged."

However, for a rational society, all value judgments and assessments of right and wrong should be based on the truth. Until the truth is revealed, perhaps all we can do is wait patiently. Without the truth, where does justice come from?

As the case garnered significant attention, time passed day by day.

Soon there was a new development in the case. The Good Samaritan was released on bail, and Zhao quickly posted a "Notice of Transfer for Prosecution" online, stating that his "negligent injury to another person case" had been transferred for review and prosecution.

After this news came out, many people expressed their incomprehension.

One netizen raised a question that left everyone stumped: "What should we do when our neighbors call for help?"

Although the case is still pending, a lawsuit has already been filed.

"Should we just stand by and watch indifferently like the other onlookers?"

"What else can we do? They'll just countersue, and we'll not only face jail time, but also huge sums of money in damages!"

"Why isn't this case like the Kunshan 'Brother Long' case?"

"The two concepts are different, okay?"

However, what many people didn't expect was that the case took a very quick turn.

From the time the case occurred, to the criminal detention and investigation, to the release on bail pending trial, and then to Zhao posting the notice of transfer for prosecution, the process was much faster than in my previous life.

Less than two weeks have passed.

The reversal came even faster when, that same evening, local authorities told reporters, "The Criminal Law encourages citizens to act bravely and righteously!"

The following morning, relevant departments disclosed the details of the case. Furthermore, they stated that "Zhao's actions constituted legitimate self-defense, but exceeded the necessary limits," and "in order to promote social justice and encourage acts of bravery, based on a comprehensive review of all the facts and evidence, a decision was made not to prosecute Zhao."

The case, which had been making headlines for several days, has come to an end.

Netizens were naturally overjoyed.

"Finally, there's a result! In any case, kudos to the relevant departments, kudos to Article 20, and kudos to Zhao for his act of bravery!"

"It was really tough! But thankfully the result was good!"

"Without Article 20, and without public pressure, would this case have had a different outcome?"

"Public scrutiny is also a way to support judicial justice!"

"Should one choose to protect oneself or 'strike when the time is right'? That remains a question!"

For a time, although everyone was satisfied with the result, they were still not completely satisfied.

After all, the conclusion was still "excessive self-defense"!
It seems more like the special favor was shown because of the act of "acting bravely for a just cause".

While most netizens felt the outcome was good, many were still saddened by it.

Chen Mo was actually quite happy, because although the result was the same, at least the appearance of Article 20 allowed the case to be resolved more than a month earlier.

This shows that Article 20 did indeed have an effect.

It can be said that although the outcome of this case was that Zhao, who acted bravely, was not prosecuted, it was not as straightforward as the Kunshan Brother Long case.

Just then, the Supreme People's Procuratorate suddenly intervened.

This is something that has surprised many people.

The reason the Supreme People's Procuratorate intervened this time was that it did so only after the case had reached its final conclusion.

The case was then reopened for review.

At first, many people were a little nervous because the Supreme People's Procuratorate suddenly announced that it would ask the relevant local departments to re-examine the case. So what exactly did it want to correct?
They've dropped the charges; are they dissatisfied with that?

However, legal professionals quickly offered their explanations and analyses: "The Supreme People's Procuratorate's guidance on this case at this time certainly doesn't mean the case will be changed from non-prosecution to re-prosecution; there must be other reasons!"

As expected, the local authorities quickly reviewed the case again. The review concluded that Zhao's actions constituted legitimate self-defense and he should not be held criminally liable. The original decision not to prosecute, which determined that the self-defense was excessive, was an error in the application of law and was therefore revoked. Based on Article 177, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Procedure Law, a decision of not prosecuting Zhao was made.

Only after this result was announced could the case truly be considered complete.

Of course, for the vast majority of netizens, this result is better!

Although no charges were filed before, it was more like an act of leniency outside the law. This case was an act of leniency outside the law, but what about other cases?
However, with the intervention and guidance of the Supreme People's Procuratorate this time, the original "extrajudicial leniency" has been changed to "it was not excessive self-defense, but legitimate self-defense, and therefore he is innocent!"

Regarding this outcome, the Supreme People's Procuratorate stated: "Strictly correcting Zhao's case in accordance with the law is conducive to encouraging acts of bravery and promoting social justice. We welcome supervision and support from all sectors of society for the work of the procuratorate."

This official Weibo post was quickly liked and shared by countless netizens!

"This is the law we believe in!"

"I'm so happy I could cry! The law is truly amazing at this moment!"

"Yes, the law should protect truly kind and courageous people in this way!"
