Requesting the traffic police to issue a traffic accident liability determination report is a completely reasonable and lawful procedure.

According to traffic regulations, traffic police should issue liability determination reports for all road safety incidents.

And this type of incident, where a bicycle hits a pedestrian, fully falls within the category of a traffic accident. Old Qi has the right to request the traffic police issue a determination report.

At the same time, once there is a liability determination report, one can pursue the other party’s responsibility for this "traffic accident."

As stipulated by Article 99, Section 1, Item 3 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," fleeing the scene of a traffic accident, if it does not constitute a crime, is punishable by a fine ranging from two hundred to two thousand yuan. Additionally, their motor vehicle driver’s license will be revoked.

"What?" Zhang Qingyuan was stunned again when he heard this.

Hitting someone with a bike and fleeing the scene could actually lead to a driver’s license revocation! Riding a bicycle is somehow connected to a driver’s license.

"If Old Qi is still not satisfied, he can take the liability determination report to court and sue the other party," Qin Mu added while Zhang Qingyuan was still stunned. "He can demand compensation for emotional distress, nutritional expenses, convalescence fees, and so on. As long as the amounts are reasonable, he will win the case."

Typically, getting hit by a bicycle while walking on the road happens quite often. If no one is seriously injured, most people don’t pursue it. However, if one chooses to pursue it, there are ways to do so.

A hit-and-run traffic accident that doesn’t cause serious injury to three or more people, or death to one or more, isn’t severe enough to constitute a criminal offense. However, the necessary penalties still apply.

"Okay, I understand! I’ll take Old Qi to report it to the police right away."

After digesting what Qin Mu had said, Zhang Qingyuan immediately rushed out of the office in excitement. He had arrived in a hurry, and he departed in a hurry.

Qin Mu watched him go and couldn’t help but shake his head with a sigh.

The old folks in the retirement home... their style seems a bit odd lately. They’re all starting to gravitate towards me.

After Zhang Qingyuan left, Qin Mu took out his phone, ready to slack off.

Just then, Li Weiguo stormed into the office angrily from outside.

Qin Mu looked up. Seeing Li Weiguo red-faced and flushed, he couldn’t help but ask, "What happened?"

Li Weiguo was trembling with anger. It took him a good while to calm down.

He recounted, "I was outside the retirement home selling calligraphy this afternoon. Business was going well when a young man came up and started criticizing my work. I couldn’t stand it, so I argued with him a bit. But this young man just started spewing filth, calling me a con artist, saying I was swindling people, and cursing at me with all sorts of foul language... I couldn’t take it anymore, so I took out my phone and recorded him. Xiao Qin, this is the recording."

After speaking, Li Weiguo took out his old-fashioned cell phone and handed it to Qin Mu. He then asked, "Xiao Qin, if I want to sue him for insult, how should I write the complaint?"

Qin Mu was speechless. "..."

After listening to Li Weiguo’s account, Qin Mu roughly understood the situation.

Li Weiguo had been a teacher. After retiring, he developed a passion for calligraphy. In the retirement home, he loved practicing calligraphy whenever he had free time. He would occasionally take his better pieces to the street to sell. However, he didn’t charge much, only ten or twenty yuan per piece.

He never expected to be verbally abused on the street today.

What was even more unexpected... Li Weiguo, usually such a good-natured man, didn’t just swallow his anger. Instead, he argued with the person and even took out his phone to record it, securing evidence immediately.

"If this recording isn’t enough evidence, I can find some of the onlookers. Many of them were recording videos and taking photos," Li Weiguo added, seeing Qin Mu hadn’t spoken yet.

His phone was an old-fashioned one without a video recording function, so he couldn’t record a video at the time. But afterward, he decisively found those onlookers and got the videos and photos they had taken, just in case his own evidence wasn’t sufficient.

"That’s plenty, that’s plenty," Qin Mu said quickly, his mouth twitching. "For this kind of matter, it depends on the severity of the insult at the time and the context."

The crime of insult is somewhat similar to defamation. Both involve an affront to a person’s dignity and honor through words. However, the crime of insult refers to publicly damaging another’s reputation through violence or other methods, where the circumstances are serious. And for "serious circumstances," there are specific requirements. For example, it might involve violent acts or other severe forms of insult, like pouring filth on someone or forcing them to kneel. This crime infringes upon a person’s right to reputation and personal dignity.

As for the incident Li Weiguo encountered... strictly speaking, the other party’s actions don’t constitute a crime. However, corresponding administrative penalties and civil compensation are unavoidable. Publicly verbally abusing someone can lead to the other party being held accountable if the matter is pursued.

"Regarding this matter... first, call the police. Report the incident to the officers, submit your evidence, and request an investigation. Then, you can seek administrative penalties against the other party and claim compensation."

Subsequently, Qin Mu explained to Li Weiguo how to handle the situation. If the police don’t take action, you can report them or file a complaint with the inspection or supervisory departments. Or file a lawsuit directly in court. These are all appropriate solutions.

"Understood! I’ll go report it to the police right now."

After listening, Li Weiguo’s eyes lit up. He nodded repeatedly and hurriedly ran out.

Qin Mu was speechless again. "..."

Watching Li Weiguo’s hasty departure, he had a feeling something wasn’t quite right.

But he didn’t dwell on it. He lowered his head and took out his phone, ready to continue slacking off.

There were still two hours left before his shift ended. Enough time for him to slack off for a good while.

But just as he picked up his phone, he saw Song Tiancheng walk into the office.
