Chapter 31 Jiang Chen: I didn't instigate, I was just giving an example!

Even after Xiao Li ended the live stream, netizens were still frantically sending comments.

Jiang Chen rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache.

He picked up his water glass and slowly took a sip.

"Alright, alright, next one."

"Who else has a question? Speak clearly, don't make me guess!"

The icon for requesting a live chat is still jumping around wildly, and the number 99+ remains unchanged.

Jiang Chen casually ordered another one.

The call connected, and a young woman's voice came from the other end, her tone tinged with a cautious probing.

"Hello, Attorney Jiang... My name is Xiao Chen."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Hello, what legal questions do you have?"

Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Attorney Jiang, you often give advice to viewers in your live streams, teaching them how to protect themselves using the law..."

"What I want to ask is... if someone listens to you and does something, but that thing is actually illegal."

"So, wouldn't you be considered... instigating a crime?"

The live stream went silent for a moment after he said that.

The live chat exploded!

【Holy crap! That's a tricky question!】

[Yeah! Jiang Chen teaches everyone how to do this and that "legally" every day. What if someone actually does it?]

[That guy who eats pandas... what if someone actually goes into the mountains to look for pandas...?]

[Hey upstairs, the panda will teach you a lesson.]

That's a good question! I'd like to know the answer too!

Is it really possible to follow Jiang Chen's method for emergency avoidance?

It's possible, but meeting the conditions for emergency evacuation would be quite difficult!

Jiang Chen wasn't angry after hearing this; instead, he chuckled, his tone full of approval.

"Hmm...that's a good question!"

He sat up straight, his expression becoming serious.

The answer is... no!

"Even if someone does what I say, gets arrested by the police, and then implicates me, I won't bear any legal responsibility."

"In fact...they bear absolutely no responsibility!"

Xiao Chen was visibly taken aback: "Why? The method you taught was clearly suggestive..."

In the live stream, Jiang Chen didn't explicitly tell anyone to do it.

But he did say how to do it without breaking the law.

Isn't this, in a way, inducing crime?

If someone uses his methods to commit a crime, can he escape punishment?

Jiang Chen chuckled and shook his head.

"Instigating a crime has strict legal requirements!"

"First, the perpetrator must have the subjective intent to incite others to commit a crime. In other words, his purpose is to make the other party commit a crime."

"Second, the person who was instigated developed criminal intent due to the instigation and then committed the crime."

"Third, there is a direct causal relationship between the instigation and the criminal outcome."

He paused, then held up one finger.

"My motivation for doing live streaming is to promote legal awareness and help those in need."

"My goal is to help viewers understand the law, obey the law, and use the law to protect themselves, not to commit crimes!"

"The cases I mentioned are all within the scope permitted by law, telling everyone what can and cannot be done."

"If someone listens to me and then does something illegal, it's not because I taught them to commit crimes, but because they chose to commit crimes themselves."

"His criminal intent didn't come from me, it came from himself!"

With just a few simple words, Jiang Chen was able to exonerate himself.

Xiao Chen seemed a little confused: "But... some of the cases you mentioned, like how to eat pandas, really sound like you're teaching people how to commit crimes..."

Jiang Chen smiled helplessly.

If that's what she thinks, then there's nothing I can do.

But reality is not like that.

"Okay, let me give you a simpler example!"

He leaned back in his chair and began to tell a story.

Viewers in the live stream immediately perked up their ears.

The cases Jiang Chen recounted were all very interesting.

For example... how to eat pandas in a legitimate way, how to steal from the British Museum in a legitimate way!

"Zhang San is an ordinary boss who owns a supermarket."

"One day, there was a fight at the entrance of the supermarket. Zhang San went out to take a look, but the two people outside were just punching and kicking each other, and it didn't seem very interesting, so he went back to watching videos of beautiful women."

"After a while, one of the young men who were fighting rushed into the supermarket, went straight to the kitchen area, and grabbed a kitchen knife."

"Zhang San didn't even look at it, scanned the code for him, the other person paid, and left with the knife."

After scanning the QR code, Zhang San went to the restroom to watch videos of beautiful women.

"When he came out after he finished... someone outside shouted 'Murder!'"

"When I went outside, I saw that another person had been hacked to death."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he looked at the camera.

"Then tell me, did Zhang San commit a crime?"

The screen instantly filled with comments:

[Is this even a question? He's definitely responsible! He helped someone scan a QR code to buy a knife!]

[Hmm... I'm curious, what did he do after he finished?]

[Hey upstairs, you can't believe you even drive on this crappy road!]

I think that helping someone scan a QR code to buy a knife constitutes a crime, right?

[Exactly! Knowing there's a fight outside, selling knives to others—isn't that being an accomplice?]

I don't think so. He didn't know that person was going to attack someone.

[Didn't know? There was a fight outside, he saw it and still sold knives, and you call that not knowing?]

Jiang Chen waited for a while before slowly speaking up.

The answer is... Zhang San did not commit a crime.

The viewers in the live stream fell silent instantly.

"Why?" Xiao Chen asked, puzzled.

Jiang Chen remained calm and slowly began to explain.

"First, Zhang San did not have the subjective intent to kill. He did not know that the person bought the knife to kill someone. In his view, it was just an ordinary transaction."

"Secondly, Zhang San did not assist in the murder. He merely completed the normal supermarket checkout process and did not provide any services beyond the scope of normal business operations."

"Third, Zhang San had no obligation to foresee the future. The two were only punching and kicking each other, without weapons or any danger to life, so he could not have foreseen that it would escalate into murder."

Therefore, Zhang San did not commit a crime!

Xiao Chen was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "What if Zhang San knew that person was going to kill someone?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

"If Zhang San knew... then he would be an accomplice to intentional homicide!"

That's the difference!

"Motivation determines everything!"

He looked back at the camera, his tone serious.

"My motivation for doing live broadcasts is to promote legal awareness. Every case I discuss is within the framework of the law."

"If someone uses my words to commit a crime, that is their own choice, not my instigation."

"So... don't worry!"

"Even if someone betrays me, I don't need to go in."

"You don't need to worry about no one broadcasting after I go in."
