Film and Television World Life Record

She had seen Zhao Jiwei pretending to make a phone call earlier, but she didn't expose him. She didn't expect him to suddenly attack the person she had just been talking to.

Before she could react, a voice came from behind her: "Xia Jie, what are you standing there for? Aren't you going to help?"

Xia Jie was stunned for a moment, then realized that Li Mu was speaking. Seeing the middle-aged man struggling to escape, she suddenly realized something and rushed over to help Zhao Jiwei pin the man firmly to the ground.

Li Mu arrived at that moment, and with a click, he took out handcuffs and cuffed the man.

He instructed Zhao Jiwei, "Take the man back to the station and lock him up!"

The man had been caught, and he had caught him himself. Zhao Jiwei was so excited that his face turned red, and he said with great enthusiasm, "Brother Li, I'll take him back right now."

Pulling at the handcuffs and pushing the suspect, he said, "Go, hurry up!"

……

Looking at the scene before her, Xia Jie said in disbelief, "Why are you arresting him? Could it be... could it be..."

Li Mu didn't mince words and explained, "You guessed right, this person is also involved in the case."

Xia Jie asked in confusion, "His wife works in that place, how could he be there?"

Li Mu asked, "Do you really think that woman is his wife?"

Xia Jie stared in disbelief: "Isn't that right?"

Li Mu said, "No, the station has already checked. Her husband is someone else, not this one."

Xia Jie asked, "Then, who is this man?"

Li Mu said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be her partner!"

"Partner?" Xia Jie muttered to herself.

Li Mu said, "Yes, partner, that woman isn't just an employee. She's the owner of a foot massage parlor and the main culprit in this case. She's the one who's manipulating these women behind the scenes."

The truth sent a chill down Xia Jie's spine. If Li Mu hadn't made arrangements beforehand, she might have really been deceived.

"By the way, the man just now said that the child has asthma and can't live without medication. Could I ask the female suspect where she kept the child's asthma medication?"

"Do you think he would actually ask where the asthma medication is? Is he trying to use me to ask, or to send some message?"

Li Mu said, "Since that's the case, just pretend you don't know anything, go find that female suspect, and ask her where the medicine is?"

Xia Jie asked, "Really?"

Li Mu said, "I really want to know!"

Xia Jie nodded: "Okay!" and quickly walked towards the office.

……

Half an hour later, Li Mu drove a police car, carrying Xia Jie and Zhao Jiwei, out of the police station and back to the foot massage parlor.

Based on the location of the asthma medication given by the female suspect, Li Mu found a USB drive.

Back in the car, Li Mu opened his laptop, inserted the USB drive containing dozens of videos of various sizes, turned to Xia Jie, and instructed, "Xia Jie, go buy a few bottles of water!"

Xia Jie glanced at him with a puzzled look, but still got out of the car and walked towards the small supermarket not far away.

Li Mu then clicked on the video. It was a white blur, and the women in it looked familiar, but not in the way people might imagine. Many of them were currently in the police station.

That's not the worst part; the video also involves threats, coercion, and the taking of various nude videos and photos!

When Xia Jie returned with the water, she looked at Zhao Jiwei, whose expression was grave, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Li Mu glanced at it, then waved the USB drive in his hand: "Do you know what's inside?"

Xia Jie seemed to have guessed something, her face flushed slightly, but she still mustered her courage to ask, "What?"

Li Mu said, "Some of the girls who participate in prostitution may not be doing so voluntarily; in fact, they may be forced."

Xia Jie's eyes widened instantly as she stared at the USB drive: "You mean?"

Li Mu nodded: "Many disgusting videos were filmed here, many of which involved beatings, coercion, and threats!"

“I suspect that this is what they use to control and coerce some girls. As long as they have this, even if the female culprit is arrested, the man can continue to control these girls for his own benefit as long as he finds this USB drive.”

Xia Jie said angrily, "It's outrageous! That man actually tried to use me to get this USB drive. The woman was just arrested, and he's already thinking of going back to his old ways."

Li Mu said, "It's not just because of that. The videos on this USB drive can not only threaten and control those girls, but many of them are also evidence of their crimes."

"Once those girls confess, the truth will probably be impossible to hide."

"They are probably afraid that the video will be leaked or found by the police in advance, which would solidify some of their crimes, so they want to move the evidence."

"Now, all we can do is congratulate them on their dream coming true; they're going to spend the rest of their lives in jail!"

Xia Jie breathed a sigh of relief, her face still showing lingering fear.

If she falls into the trap and passes on information, it will be a huge mistake. Not only will these bad people not receive the punishment they deserve, but if word gets out, she might also be disciplined, and might even lose her job as a police officer.

"Thank you, Director Li!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite with me? Actually, with your intelligence, even if I didn't intervene, it would be difficult for him to fool you."

"Your only flaw is that you are sometimes too kind. Of course, this is also your strength; kindness is an excellent virtue."

"However, sometimes we need to carefully discern the people and things around us, and only show kindness to those who deserve our kindness, while ignoring those who have ulterior motives and ulterior intentions."

Xia Jie nodded vigorously: "I understand, Director Li."

Chapter 360 Sending them home

After the evidence was found, the group returned to the police station. With the main culprit arrested and both witnesses and physical evidence in hand, the psychological defenses of the two main culprits were broken down in just half a day, and they confessed completely.

It turns out that the woman, who is also the owner of the foot massage parlor, has been recruiting young girls who have just come to the city to work and are inexperienced in the ways of the world under the guise of hiring waitresses.

Once inside, they would confiscate their ID cards, beat and verbally abuse them, and even rape them to restrict their personal freedom, destroy their self-esteem, and force them into prostitution.

The so-called asthma medication for children was actually obscene videos that these girls were forced to film when they entered the store; these videos were used to blackmail the girls into prostitution.

Looking at the other party's testimony, Xia Jie felt a chill in her heart. That woman was too good at disguising herself. She was so simple and ordinary, just like an ordinary migrant worker from the countryside.

Unexpectedly, this was the mastermind behind such a prostitution ring, and he had done so many heinous and outrageous things.

That woman feigned such innocence and helplessness, and Xia Jie actually believed her. Just thinking about it sent a chill down her spine, from the sole of her foot to her brain.

Police officers sometimes really can't show too much compassion, because this profession involves dealing with too many bad people.

That evening, since the case was completely solved, and it was a case with considerable implications, the responsible parties were handed over to the district police station, and everyone had a small celebration.

Li Mu looked at Xia Jie, who looked unwell and still seemed shaken, and asked with concern, "Xia Jie, what's wrong?"

Xia Jie forced a smile: "It's okay... I'm fine."

Li Mu said, "Is it still because of the case during the day? I told you, there's no need to dwell on it so much. With your intelligence, even without my intervention, he couldn't have fooled you."

Xia Jie looked at Li Mu gratefully: "Thank you."

Li Mu smiled and said, "See, you're still being polite. As a policeman, this kind of thing will happen a lot more often in the future! You can't have this kind of mentality!"

Xia Jie's expression tightened, and she looked at Li Mu earnestly: "Officer Li, I will definitely adapt as soon as possible and become a qualified people's police officer."

Li Mu waved his hand: "Don't be so serious, I was just joking with you. New employees are all like this. After working for a few years and seeing more of the world, they will naturally adapt."

Xia Jie nodded, a little embarrassed: "Mm!"

Li Mu said, "It's quite late today, and you don't look well. How about I drive you home?"

"Ah!" Xia Jie exclaimed in surprise, meeting Li Mu's gaze, and subconsciously turned her head away.

"No need...no need to trouble you."

Li Mu said, "Why are you so afraid of me! Are you afraid I have ulterior motives towards you? Don't worry, my character can withstand any test."

Xia Jie blushed slightly and quickly waved her hands, saying, "No, Director Li... I just... I just..."

I didn't know what reason to give for a moment.

Li Mu laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid people will misunderstand?"

Xia Jie lowered her head: "No!"

Li Mu said, "Then what are you hesitating for? We happen to be going the same way, so I'll take you home first, and then I'll go back. Consider it a thank you for catching such a big fish for the station and breaking down the suspect's psychological defenses. You deserve a lot of credit for closing the case like this."

Xia Jie's expression relaxed: "Thank you, I feel much better now."

Li Mu smiled and drove the car over.

He waved and said, "Get in the car!"

Xia Jie hesitated for a moment, then opened the passenger door and sat down.

"Thank you, Director Li!"

Li Mu smiled and shook his head: "Being called 'Director Li' by you guys all the time makes me feel like I'm much older than you. I'm starting to doubt that we're from the same generation."

"Actually, we're about the same age. I'm only a few years older than you trainee officers. Yang Shu, for example, graduated with a master's degree and is 25 years old this year. We're about the same age."

Xia Jie thought about it and realized that it was true. She glanced at Li Mu's young face out of the corner of her eye. He was the same age as her, but he had a maturity and composure that was not common for his age.

When his young officers stood next to him, their presence was completely overshadowed.

After chatting for a while, they soon arrived at Xia Jie's residential area. Li Mu stopped the car and said with a smile, "I won't take you upstairs. Get some rest."

Xia Jie nodded: "It's already a lot of trouble for you to take me this far, goodbye!"
