"Should similar incidents occur in the future, the company will resort to dismissal, with no tolerance!"

With this case as a precedent, and to ensure their own safety, all 4S shops issued relevant orders, strictly banning the replacement of spare parts. The staff of the maintenance department were also quite frightened. Seeing someone actually sent to prison was a significant deterrent for them. After all, they were doing the same type of work. The reason they hadn't been caught was simply that they hadn't encountered Qin Mu. If they had run into him earlier, they would have been imprisoned long ago.

Gradually, a saying began to circulate in Jin City's auto industry: "Guard against fire, theft, and Qin Mu." Whether they were salespeople or after-sales service personnel, everyone kept the name Qin Mu in mind and even remembered his face, fearful they might inadvertently bump into him in the future.

「The next day.」

「Nursing home.」

Qin Mu went to work as usual, spending his time playing chess, practicing calligraphy, and playing ball with Old Zhang and the others. His work was easy and leisurely.

「At noon.」

He took a moment to check his account on Little Station. The video about the car spare parts replacement case had reached 6,000,000 views and was still rising. He already had 4,200,000 followers. The comments section was the same as always, filled with either poetry and prose or quotes from famous people. No one seriously discussed the content of the video.

However, in the Study Law Alliance Forum, a group of netizens was specifically discussing the crime of theft. The questions they raised were each trickier than the last. For example, one asked whether using someone else's Wi-Fi amounted to theft. The question seemed absurd but was indeed worthy of analysis. This was because using Wi-Fi meant utilizing someone else's ownership rights, even though it wasn't a tangible object. It concerned the intangible asset of a broadband network.

Strictly speaking, if the Wi-Fi was used long-term and, upon appraisal, the cost exceeded 1,000 yuan, it could constitute theft. However, if reported as theft, the police would most likely facilitate a settlement, since the amount was just too small. The law allows for cases to be filed over an amount exceeding 1,000 yuan but does not necessarily require imprisonment. For significantly minor cases, the prosecuting authorities generally don't file criminal charges. Therefore, some people who mooch off Wi-Fi can do so with peace of mind. As long as it doesn't cause significant losses, even if sued, they would just need to compensate several hundred yuan for the internet fees. Of course, if it's a long-term situation spanning over a decade with evidence of continual theft, it's a severe offense and an entirely different matter. Each case must be analyzed on its own merits.

Furthermore, stealing game accounts is outright theft. Game accounts are a form of personal intangible asset and have a certain value. The amount stolen will be calculated based on the market price of the account. The greater the amount, the harsher the sentencing.

There's also the theft of bodies from the morgue. This question is also quite thorny. However, with frequent cases of theft and desecration of bodies over the past few decades, criminal law has long since perfected legislation in this area. The theft of bodies clearly falls under the crimes of theft, insult, and intentional destruction of bodies, bones, or ashes. Article 302 of the Criminal Law stipulates that illegally occupying a body through secretive theft, or insulting a body through obscene acts, destruction, abandonment, or other methods, constitutes these crimes. Violators would be sentenced to a prison term of not more than three years, criminal detention, or public surveillance. This cannot be punished simply as common theft; it is a special kind of theft case.

As for tomb raiding—extracting antiques from underground—that's not considered theft either. Instead, it's the crime of excavating ancient cultural sites and ancient tombs. Theft has a clear requirement: stealing possessions owned by others. A body, being the product of a person after death, is sacrosanct and cannot be equated with possessions. Similarly, antiques buried underground belong to the state, not to any individual. Therefore, this act constitutes the crime of excavating ancient cultural sites and ancient tombs.

The sentencing for tomb raiding is also quite horrendous. Article 328 stipulates that the crime of excavating ancient cultural sites and ancient tombs refers to excavating sites or tombs possessing historical, artistic, or scientific value. In serious cases, perpetrators face a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years, in addition to fines. In less serious cases, they face a fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, or public surveillance, as well as fines. In certain situations, perpetrators could face a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment, along with fines or confiscation of property.

As for going to a police station to steal firearms, this also cannot be treated as common theft. Firearms are controlled items, not the property of individuals. Even if held by the police, officers only have the right to use them, not ownership. This act directly constitutes the crime of stealing firearms, with a general sentence of not less than three years but not more than ten years of fixed-term imprisonment. In severe cases, the sentence could be ten years or more of fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment, or the death penalty. This is one of the few crimes in current criminal law that carries the death penalty as the maximum punishment.

"These netizens... are really talented, huh," Qin Mu couldn't help but remark after reading these questions. The topics they researched were each more obscure than the last. If he hadn't read so extensively on criminal law, he wouldn't have been able to analyze them on the spot.

「Just then.」

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing this task and having a significant deterrent effect on the auto industry, with a task completion rate of 160%." A voice emerged in Qin Mu's mind.

His expression brightened, and he couldn't help but feel excited. 160%! This has once again surpassed my previous task completion rates!
