This person is clearly a male protagonist in a female-oriented novel, yet he is excessively lucid.

For the next two days, Yu Chenzhou completely settled down at home, ignoring the outside world's disturbances, and only silently monitoring the development of public opinion on the Internet through his mobile phone.

Xiao Yilin also specially turned down all her work to stay home with him.

Yu Chenzhou's attitude of neither publicly defending himself nor showing up to respond has, in the eyes of uninformed bystanders, become irrefutable evidence of his guilty conscience.

This undoubtedly gave some people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Some netizens who thought they were in the right became increasingly rampant, spreading defamatory remarks on various social media platforms without restraint. Some even started to dox his private information.

In an instant, malicious comments targeting him spread like a tidal wave.

However, this situation was broken on the morning of the third day.

Qin Yu, along with a group of internet celebrities who were also sued by Yu Chenzhou, and dozens of people incited by their false statements, surrounded the entrance to the hospital outpatient department, holding up banners and shouting.

This scene was captured by a passerby and uploaded to the internet. Yu Chenzhou looked at the image on his phone screen and a smile appeared on his lips, because the time to retaliate had finally come.

In fact, in the past two days, the hospital's official website has been overwhelmed by malicious attacks from a large number of emotionally charged netizens, and the server crashed multiple times before finally becoming completely paralyzed.

Online consultation and appointment booking functions have been completely suspended, causing great inconvenience to patients.

Today, Qin Yu and others' on-site blockade of the hospital has gone beyond the scope of cyberbullying and constitutes a serious violation of public order.

Faced with the crowd's commotion and aggressive behavior, hospital security personnel tried their best to maintain order but were unable to control the situation. To avoid large-scale physical conflict and ensure the safety of medical staff and patients, the hospital immediately called the police.

At almost the same moment, Yu Chenzhou and lawyer Qin Jin appeared together at the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

That's right, it's not a police station that handles ordinary disputes, but a criminal investigation team that is specifically responsible for major criminal cases.

This was precisely the opportunity that Yu Chenzhou had been waiting for: a crucial chance to escalate the original civil defamation dispute into a criminal case.

Given Qin Yu's special status as a minor, it is difficult to classify his actions as a criminal offense based solely on his defamation and slander.

However, now that he is over 16 years old, his current actions have seriously endangered public order, and the nature of his behavior is completely different.

In this situation, he can be legally convicted of both defamation and disturbing public order, and punished for both crimes concurrently.

Therefore, once Yu Chenzhou formally submits the police report, the case will be transformed from a private prosecution case into a public prosecution case initiated by the procuratorate on behalf of the state.

The case will now be investigated by the public security authorities and prosecuted by the procuratorate, proceeding in accordance with the law throughout. This is no longer a trivial matter that can be settled through private mediation or monetary compensation.

When the complete set of evidence submitted by Yu Chenzhou was delivered to Director Miao Yan, it immediately attracted his high attention.

The evidence chain prepared in advance by Qin Jin's team was complete and detailed. The notarized replays of Qin Yu's live broadcasts, screenshots of data on the spread of the virus across the internet, and information on the internet celebrities and platform staff involved in the case were all presented in a clear and concise manner, with irrefutable evidence.

In particular, Qin Yu deliberately fabricated false statements during the live broadcast, such as "Yu Chenzhou forced a minor to apologize" and "maliciously hyped up the situation to make money."

The video was simultaneously broadcast on dozens of influencer accounts across multiple mainstream platforms, including Xingyao Live and Suran Video, accumulating over three million views and more than two hundred thousand reposts, far exceeding the legal standard for "serious circumstances".

More seriously, these highly inflammatory remarks triggered massive online violence.

A large number of misled netizens not only attacked the hospital's official website, but also blocked the outpatient entrance in person, seriously affecting the hospital's normal medical treatment order and violating the public interest.

This situation fully meets the statutory conditions for the conversion of a private prosecution to a public prosecution for the crime of defamation. After a rapid review in accordance with the law, the Criminal Investigation Division made a formal decision to file a criminal case at noon that day, clarifying the cause of action as "Qin Yu is suspected of defamation".

Considering Qin Yu's status as a minor at 17, and in order to implement the judicial principle of "education, persuasion, and rehabilitation" for minors, the case was quickly transferred to the special criminal case handling team for minors established by the public security authorities.

The task force was led by two experienced investigators who have been working on juvenile delinquency cases for many years.

At the same time, the police immediately contacted the community corrections department of the judicial administration agency and launched a social investigation into Qin Yu to fully understand his background and current situation.

Subsequently, two plainclothes investigators, accompanied by community police officers from Qin Yu's registered residence area, quietly went to his home to conduct an investigation.

When the knocking sounded, Qin Yu was unaware, curled up on the sofa playing on his phone, the screen displaying chat history with his online celebrity accomplice.

The group was still enthusiastically discussing how to continue targeting Yu Chenzhou, expand the impact of the incident, and force him to withdraw the lawsuit.

After the investigators presented their credentials, they informed him on the spot that he was under investigation for suspected defamation and immediately notified Qin Yu's parents to come to the scene.

According to relevant laws and regulations governing the handling of criminal cases involving minors, a legal guardian must accompany a minor criminal suspect throughout the interrogation process.

The interrogation was specifically arranged in the police station's special interrogation room for minors.

The investigators first read out all the litigation rights to Qin Yu and his parents in detail, and clearly informed them that they had the right to apply for legal aid.

Then, the questioning gradually unfolded around core issues such as the fabrication process of the defamatory statements, the intent to spread them, and whether platform personnel instigated or encouraged them.

Qin Yu initially still held onto a glimmer of hope, attempting to shirk all responsibility by claiming that he was a minor and insisted that he was merely "complaining on impulse" and not deliberately fabricating facts.

But when the investigators presented him with his complete chat logs with the platform's operators on the spot...

After it was clearly confirmed that the platform deliberately induced him to fabricate stories, play the victim to gain sympathy, and amplify false statements in order to generate traffic, his psychological defenses completely collapsed.

Finally, he lowered his head and truthfully confessed to the entire process of deliberately fabricating facts and defaming others in order to force Yu Chenzhou to withdraw the lawsuit, following the instructions of the platform staff.

After the interrogation, the investigators did not take criminal detention measures against Qin Yu.

Based on the preliminary results of the social investigation, Qin Yu is a student with no prior criminal record.

His parents have good guardianship conditions and willingness, and Qin Yu truthfully confessed his crimes after being brought to justice.

They have already shown an attitude of admitting guilt and remorse, which is in full compliance with the basic principle of "cautious use of detention measures" in juvenile justice.

Ultimately, the police released Qin Yu on bail pending trial in accordance with the law and explicitly ordered his parents to strictly fulfill their guardianship responsibilities.

Qin Yu is prohibited from logging onto any online platform to post comments or contact individuals involved in the case. He is also required to report to the police station regularly for police supervision and inspection.

At the same time, another group of investigators also launched a comprehensive peripheral investigation:

On the one hand, they went to the platforms involved, such as Xingyao Live and Suran Video, to legally retrieve the backend dissemination data, operation and management logs, and all communication records between Qin Yu and the platform staff.

Does the fixed platform have any clues of accomplices such as instigation, facilitation, or malicious traffic diversion?

On the other hand, a comprehensive investigation was conducted into the property losses suffered by Yu Chenzhou due to defamation and the actual impact on the normal operation of the hospital, and relevant evidence such as data on the decline in outpatient volume and additional security costs were collected.

At the same time, we will review the cases of each participant in cyberbullying, and conduct interviews and warnings in accordance with the law for those whose actions were egregious or who instigated the violence, so as to resolutely curb the spread of cyberbullying.

At 3 p.m., with the approval of the higher-level public security authorities, the local public security bureau simultaneously released a "Notice on the Filing of an Investigation into Qin Yu for Suspected Defamation" through its official Weibo and WeChat accounts.

The full text clearly states the facts of the case and the progress of its handling. At the same time, the notice was copied to the Cyberspace Administration and all the platforms involved, clearly requiring the platforms to immediately cooperate in cleaning up all infringing content, permanently banning the relevant violating accounts, and earnestly fulfilling their main responsibilities as platforms.

[Police Notice] Recently, our bureau received a report from the victim, Yu, who claimed that Qin (male, 17 years old) fabricated facts to defame her on an online platform, causing large-scale online dissemination and cyber violence, which seriously disrupted public order.

After review by our bureau in accordance with the law, Qin's behavior is suspected of constituting the crime of defamation, and our bureau has filed a case against him for investigation today.

During the investigation, our bureau has taken bail pending trial measures against Qin in accordance with the law, and ordered his guardian to strictly fulfill his guardianship responsibilities and strengthen daily supervision.

Meanwhile, our bureau has launched a comprehensive investigation into the online platform involved and will pursue the legal responsibilities of the relevant parties in accordance with the law.

Cyberspace is not a lawless zone. Any illegal act of fabricating facts to defame others or disrupting social order will be severely punished by law.

Given that Qin is a minor, our bureau will adhere to the principle of "education, persuasion, and rehabilitation," and while protecting his legitimate rights and interests in accordance with the law, urge him to assume corresponding legal responsibilities.

We urge all internet users to consciously abide by laws and regulations, refrain from believing or spreading rumors, and work together to maintain a clean and orderly cyberspace.

This is to announce.

XX Public Security Bureau, [Date]

The announcement instantly went viral online, quickly climbing to the top of the trending search lists on major platforms.

Previously, netizens who had been misled by Qin Yu and blindly accused Yu Chenzhou of being "inhuman" and "bullying minors" have reversed their attitudes and publicly apologized and reflected on their actions.

The hashtags #Police report Qin Yu suspected of defamation# #Online speech must abide by the law# #Minors are not a shield for lawbreakers# continue to generate buzz, sparking heated discussions across the internet about cyberbullying and juvenile delinquency.

Some netizens dug up clips of Qin Yu's previous live streams where he slandered classical Eastern art and acted arrogantly and provocatively, lamenting that "there are no privileges before the law, and being a minor is not a shield for breaking the law."

Some netizens also rationally called for both holding those responsible accountable according to the law and giving minors who know their mistakes and are willing to correct them a chance to reform, so as to achieve a balance between legal and social effects.

Upon seeing this, Xingyao Live, Suran Video, and other platforms involved in the incident, fearing they would be implicated and held accountable, urgently issued official statements.

They stated that they had immediately and thoroughly cleaned up all infringing content posted by Qin Yu, permanently banned his account and related accounts, and would fully cooperate with the police investigation.

At the same time, we will immediately conduct an internal compliance self-inspection, improve the content review mechanism and risk prevention and control system, and resolutely prevent similar incidents from happening again.

Upon learning the news, Zhou Zhi and other legal personnel from the platform involved turned deathly pale.

The police investigation has delved into the core operations of the platform. Their previous actions of secretly instigating Qin Yu to commit perjury and deliberately fueling public opinion are likely to be investigated and they will face severe legal sanctions and huge fines.

At this moment, the atmosphere in Qin Yu's home was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

Qin Yu held his phone, repeatedly looking at the police announcement, and recalled the serious scene of the investigators' interrogation.

He finally realized that being a "minor" did not allow him to escape all legal responsibilities.

Overwhelmed by fear and regret, he slumped into a chair and wept bitterly, burying his face in his hands.

His parents frantically tried to comfort their son while urgently contacting legal aid organizations to prepare for subsequent litigation.

At the same time, he took the initiative to contact Yu Chenzhou, humbly hoping to apologize in person to gain his understanding, but was politely refused by Yu Chenzhou's lawyer, Qin Jin.

Qin Jin solemnly told them that the opportunity for forgiveness had been given, but unfortunately they did not seize it.

As night deepened and the city shed its daytime hustle and bustle, the police station's investigation continued steadily.

A preliminary social investigation report on Qin Yu has been completed. The report details his upbringing, family environment, school performance, social circle, and other aspects, providing important reference for subsequent review, arrest, and prosecution.

Next, the investigators will systematically organize and archive all the collected evidence, and transfer it to the procuratorate in strict accordance with legal procedures. The procuratorate will then review the evidence in accordance with the law and decide whether to initiate a public prosecution.

With the criminal determination of Qin Yu's case officially finalized, netizens who had previously followed suit in defaming, insulting, and slandering Yu Chenzhou panicked upon seeing related news reports. They deleted their original comments and canceled their accounts in an attempt to evade responsibility.

A list of lawsuits suddenly updated on the official website of Liuhe Heng Law Firm became the final blow that broke down their psychological defenses.

The list of people Qin Jin has released this time includes more than 8,000 individuals, all of whom have been sued in court for defamation. Qin Jin will not tolerate any person involved in cyberbullying.
