76: Hmm...it seems...there's nothing wrong.

"Young man, do you know what you're doing?"

"Do you know what your actions mean at this very moment?"

"Counterfeiting currency, no matter when, is against the law! I advise you to stop immediately!"

Xiao Changchun stared intently at Su Yu, his voice serious.

"Yes, yes, why not do something good at such a young age? Why insist on counterfeiting?"

"Exactly, the Young man looks quite clean and sharp, like a smart kid, how could he do such a foolish thing? While you haven't made a big mistake yet, stop now."

"No, is it true that any kind of weirdo can stream on this platform now? Even counterfeiting currency isn't banned?! That's too outrageous."

"The key is, look quickly, the number of online viewers for the Streamer counterfeiting currency is actually over a hundred thousand! Officer Xiao's side has less than twenty thousand! Is there still justice? Is there still heavenly law?!"

In Officer Xiao's anti-fraud live stream, fans watched the scene before them, becoming increasingly angry.

Why could a Streamer who relies on counterfeiting money still get so much traffic on the platform?

Officer Xiao works hard to popularize anti-fraud knowledge and promote positive energy, yet his live stream has so few viewers. This is unfair! It's simply a blatant disregard for laws and regulations!

Meanwhile, the audience in Su Yu's live stream saw this scene and couldn't stop laughing.

"Hahahaha, the Streamer is amazing! Live counterfeiting currency encountering an anti-fraud Streamer doing popular science – if this isn't a script, the live stream effect is absolutely explosive!"

"Look quickly, that Officer Xiao on the other side actually believes it! He even wants to persuade the Streamer to stop!"

"No, if I were Officer Xiao, I'd be confused too. Are scammers so rampant now that they're counterfeiting currency live? The Streamer is too cunning! Deliberately playing word games."

"Alright, alright, this is amazing! I love watching this kind of 'great flood washing away the Dragon King Temple' plot!"

Facing Officer Xiao's questioning, Su Yu then took out the unfinished, semi-finished dollar bill he had earlier, placing it in front of the camera, looking very innocent.

"No, ah sir! I didn't counterfeit domestic currency, is counterfeiting foreign currency also illegal?"

As soon as he said this, Xiao Changchun was momentarily silenced.

Hmm, counterfeiting foreign currency... This, this... It seems there's no law explicitly stating that doing so is illegal.

The most crucial point is that the other party hasn't circulated the counterfeit currency into the market or used it as equivalent value. Hearing it this way, it really seems like there's no problem.

"What do you mean foreign currency isn't illegal? As long as it's fraudulent, it's not allowed!"

"Exactly, exactly, the Young man isn't learning anything good, always thinking about these crooked ways, he'll regret it sooner or later!"

"Officer Xiao, please speak fairly. Whether from a legal or moral standpoint, isn't this kind of behavior wrong?"

Many of the fans in Officer Xiao's live stream were older aunts and uncles. They couldn't tolerate even a speck of dust when it came to such matters.

As long as they could find an opportunity to express their so-called correct views, they wouldn't hesitate for a moment.

Xiao Changchun pursed his lips. He was indeed proficient in anti-fraud, but he was genuinely unsure about whether counterfeiting foreign currency was legal.

However, out of an inherent sense of justice as a Chinese citizen, he felt that even counterfeiting foreign currency was not something to be encouraged.

But since the platform hadn't banned the other party, and at the same time, the other Streamer's live stream had over a hundred thousand online viewers, this also indirectly proved that the other party hadn't done anything illegal.

"Cough, cough, cough, Young man."

"No matter what, counterfeiting is always an act that should not be encouraged."

"If I'm not mistaken, what you're holding should be a dollar bill, right?"

Xiao Changchun narrowed his eyes, carefully staring at Su Yu's hand.

Although he was more familiar with distinguishing domestic counterfeit currency, as an expert who had won countless anti-fraud publicity awards, simply distinguishing real from fake dollars was also within his capabilities.

Since he couldn't conduct anti-fraud propaganda through direct education, Xiao Changchun decided to start from his area of expertise to break this unfavorable stalemate.

After all, he also had his pride; there were still twenty thousand viewers in his live stream waiting for him to demonstrate anti-fraud legal education.

Su Yu nodded at the remark.

"That's right, this is a 100-dollar bill."

"Officer Xiao, since you are a professional, why don't you help me see what else is wrong with this counterfeit dollar?"

Let him expose the fake?

Isn't that just walking right into his trap?

A confident smile appeared on Xiao Changchun's face; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

If it were other suggestions, he might not have been able to save face, but distinguishing counterfeit currency, even dollars, was no problem for him.

Thinking this, Xiao Changchun spoke with full confidence.

"Young man, bring your counterfeit currency closer to the camera for me and the viewers in our live stream to take a good look."

"Folks, don't miss this opportunity."

"Today, Officer Xiao will show everyone his true skills."

"Previously, I talked about methods for distinguishing domestic currency in the live stream. Now, I'll tell you about methods for distinguishing dollars."

After a pause, Xiao Changchun's voice flowed out slowly and steadily.

"Everyone, look closely. No matter what country's currency it is, first and foremost, the most basic method of identification can be done by distinguishing the patterns and colors on the currency."

"As you can see, what I have in my hand is a genuine 100-dollar bill. What Brother Su is holding is a currency he counterfeited himself."

"Through the camera, let's first compare the portraits of Franklin on the two dollar bills. Generally speaking, unless the most advanced photocopier is used, it is very difficult to perfectly replicate a portrait."

"Hmm, let's look at these two Franklin portraits, hmm... it seems... it seems there's no problem."

"Then, I'll continue to compare the image of Independence Hall on the back. The complexity of this image makes it easy for even a photocopier to produce subtle printing errors."

"But... it seems there's no problem either..."

After spending a full ten minutes carefully comparing the patterns and textures of the counterfeit dollar and the genuine dollar, Xiao Changchun was shocked to find that he couldn't distinguish which was real and which was fake just by looking at the patterns!

This Young man, he's got something!

Xiao Changchun, unwilling to give up, continued.

"It's okay. If we can't distinguish real from fake from the patterns, we can also differentiate using two very common anti-counterfeiting technologies: watermarks and color-shifting ink."

"Everyone, look, the color-shifting ink on the dollar is different from ours in China. From different angles, it can reflect three different colors..."
