Ye Wei turned and left.

Wang Shouyi asked, "Where are you going?"

Ye Wei said, "I'll go and do some ideological work, so that good police officers don't make mistakes."

Wang Shouyi muttered to himself in frustration, "Damn it, I failed to persuade one person and offended another!"

……

On the other side, Li Mu arrived at the duty room, and the phone in the emergency call room rang. The duty officer poked his head out and said, "Chief Li, there's a fight on bus number 32. They're currently waiting for the bus company to handle the situation."

Li Mu said, "Understood, I'll take some men to handle it."

He turned around and said, "Jiwei, come out with me."

“Okay, Brother Li.” Zhao Jiwei immediately jumped out and quickly followed.

Upon arriving at their destination, in the bus company's conference room, the two were pointing at each other and hurling insults.

Ms. Zhou, who was in her early thirties, had her hair pulled out and was in a mess. There were several strands of her hair that had been pulled out on the table in front of her. She was holding a child who was a little over one year old and was crying.

On one side was Mr. Wang, who was around seventy years old, with bloody scratches on his face.

Chapter 364 Extortion

However, judging from the scene, it was mainly Grandpa Wang who was causing trouble: "I'm telling you, she beat me so badly that I was seriously injured, and she needs to take me to the hospital right away."

Ms. Zhou burst into tears, saying, "Listen to this! Is this how you talk to a woman? Don't you have any shame at your age?"

The bus company staff also felt that Grandpa Wang was being unreasonable. When they saw Li Mu arrive, they quickly said, "The police are here! The police are here! Please stop arguing and let the police handle this."

As soon as Li Mu and Zhao Jiwei entered the room led by the staff, Grandpa Wang saw them and immediately pretended to be in great pain: "Oh dear~ What's wrong with the police! She hit me... I'm having an attack, I'm telling you, hurry up and take me to the hospital."

Zhao Jiwei couldn't take it anymore: "Sir, watch your mouth!"

Ms. Zhou was also furious: "This is truly disrespectful to elders!"

Li Mu glanced at the old man and asked expressionlessly, "What exactly happened? Was there a security camera in the car at the time?"

A staff member at the bus station immediately said, "Officer, yes, please come with me."

He then led them to the monitoring room and played the surveillance footage from the car at that time.

According to the surveillance footage, the train passed a station and passengers boarded. Mr. Wang also boarded the train at that time, while Ms. Zhou was holding her child and sitting in the priority seat for the elderly, disabled, pregnant women and sick.

The bus was crowded, so Mr. Wang looked around, walked over to Ms. Zhou, patted her on the shoulder, and gestured for her to give up her seat.

Ms. Zhou, holding her child, was naturally unwilling. She pointed to the child on her body, indicating that the child also had the right to sit.

The two argued for a few words. Everything was fine until suddenly, Mr. Wang grabbed Ms. Zhou's hair and started pulling it down. Ms. Zhou's hair was pulled, and she used one hand to protect her child while reaching up with the other hand to grab wildly.

According to the surveillance footage, the entire incident involved Mr. Wang pulling and hitting the woman's hair, while the woman resisted haphazardly and scratched Mr. Wang's face. After a brief struggle, nearby passengers intervened, the bus stopped, and the police were called.

Zhao Jiwei watched the surveillance footage, growing angrier with each glance: "Isn't this an old scoundrel?"

The staff member said, "Yes, he's an old rogue, but you can't mess with an old rogue like that."

Li Mu nodded silently.

He suddenly remembered who this old man was. Wasn't this the old scoundrel from the drama, the one who had abused his wife and children since childhood, leaving them covered in bruises and eventually causing his wife to go deaf in one ear? And the one whose children, after growing up, lived with their mother and completely severed ties with him—the same old scoundrel who staged accidents to extort money!

This guy seems to have fallen ill, and with everyone turning against him and no one willing to help him, he's started doing his old tricks of staging accidents to extort money from people to get medical treatment for him.

In the drama, Chen Xincheng and Li Dawei were on duty this time. They were too compassionate and got stuck with the old rogue. Then they encountered Wang Shouyi, who was even more compassionate. He not only made the station pay for the old rogue's medical treatment, but also sent Li Dawei to clean up his excrement and urinate for him. He really did clean up his excrement and urinate for him.

That's enough!

This is the right thing to do for good people. This kind of old scoundrel is completely reaping what he sowed; did he ever think about his own fate when he was doing evil?

Li Mu always believed in karma and that evil should be punished, and that justice should prevail over evil. This kind of person shouldn't be allowed to have a good outcome. Since he was leading the team on the call, he wouldn't bring this trouble back with him, nor would he care about this old rogue. Let him fend for himself!

After watching the surveillance footage, Li Mu said, "They say bad people get old, and that's absolutely true. Some people's badness starts from childhood."

Zhao Jiwei said, "Brother Li, what should we do with this old man?"

Li Mu shook his head and said, "It's difficult to handle!"

Zhao Jiwei was taken aback: "Why is it difficult to handle? It's obvious that the old man provoked us first, and it happened on a moving bus, which is suspected of endangering public safety. Let's detain him first."

Li Mu said, "That's easier said than done. You studied the Public Security Administration Punishment Law at the police academy, right? What does Article 21, Paragraph 3 stipulate?"

Zhao Jiwei thought for a moment and said, "Those who are over seventy years old cannot be administratively detained..."

He said somewhat dejectedly, "Brother Li, does that mean we have no way to deal with this kind of old bad guy?"

Li Mu said, "Not only that, you also watched the recording just now, right?"

Zhao Jiwei nodded silently: "I saw it. What's wrong, Brother Li?"

Li Mu said, "This old man is not only bad, but also a cunning old fox. He must have something to rely on to do this."

Zhao Jiwei asked, bewildered, "Rely on? What could he possibly rely on!"

Li Mu said, "Didn't you see in the video? The woman fought back, and the old man's face was scratched too!"

Zhao Jiwei stubbornly retorted, "Wasn't this self-defense?"

Li Mu chuckled: "What self-defense? It seems you haven't learned enough. According to the Public Security Administration Regulations, strictly speaking, this should be considered mutual fighting!"

Zhao Jiwei instantly understood this as well, and said helplessly, "Brother Li, so if we continue to investigate and really detain people, I'm afraid it will be this woman who gets detained?"

Li Mu nodded: "That's how the law stipulates it. The maximum penalty for their case is administrative detention. You can't detain an old man over seventy. If it gets out of hand, and someone has to be detained, then only a woman can be detained."

Zhao Jiwei was stunned: "But this is so unfair... The elderly need to be cared for, and women and children also need to be protected!"

Li Mudao said helplessly, "Reality is just like that. Some people will take advantage of this loophole, like this old man. By the way, find out more carefully whether the old man is really over seventy years old."

The staff member immediately said, "It's true. The old man is seventy-one years old. He took the bus with a senior citizen card, which shows his age."

Li Mu shrugged and said, "It seems we can only talk to the woman first. The best course of action now is to resolve this matter quickly and decisively, and not give that old rogue a chance to cause trouble."

As he spoke, Li Mu turned to Jiwei and said, "Go and invite Ms. Zhou over."

Zhao Jiwei paused for a moment, then said, "Okay!"

When Ms. Zhou came over with her child, Li Mu said, "Ms. Zhou, we have already reviewed the surveillance footage. The responsibility does not lie with you; it lies entirely with the other party."

Ms. Zhou, her eyes red, said, "Officers, you must help me! I was holding my child when he came up and started hitting me."

Li Mu said, "Ms. Zhou, we all saw it. People like that are really hateful."

"However, there is something I need to tell you. Our country's laws stipulate that people over seventy years old cannot be administratively detained, and the old man is already seventy-one."

"The maximum penalty for your two cases is administrative detention. The other party may be exempted from punishment due to their age. If you continue to pursue this matter, you will be the one who turns the tables on you."

Ms. Zhou stared wide-eyed, her face full of disbelief: "So, if we keep making a scene, not only will we not be able to hold the old man accountable, but I will also get into trouble."

Li Mu nodded silently: "This old man is obviously an expert in this area. If you keep making a scene like this, the other party is a bachelor, and it's not worth it for you."

“In my opinion, let’s resolve this matter first, so we don’t get stuck with him like a leech. If he doesn’t break any criminal laws, then we police can’t do anything about him.”

"However, you can pursue civil litigation, but judging from the old man's appearance, he's probably a bachelor and doesn't care at all."

"So, how do you want to solve this?"

Ms. Zhou was stunned for a long time. She looked at the child in her arms and sighed, "Then let it go. We can't afford to waste time with such a scoundrel."

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's wise of you not to get entangled with rotten people. God will deal with them."

Ms. Zhou smiled faintly: "Thank you! Thank you for your trouble, officers."

Li Mu said, "It's no trouble at all. As a police officer, I would feel a little guilty if I couldn't help you get justice after encountering someone like this."

With that, the group returned to the conference room.

When Old Wang saw Li Mu and the others return, he immediately started whining and groaning, "Officer, this woman beat me up badly. You need to take me to the hospital and get me medical treatment."

Li Mu stepped forward and slammed his hand on the table: "Enough, how long are you going to keep pretending? Behave yourself."

"Tell me your name, age, and any criminal record honestly."

Old Wang was stunned for a moment, then stopped grumbling and looked at Li Mu, saying, "Officer, how could you do this! Didn't you see I was beaten? We're interrogating a criminal!"

Li Mu snorted coldly: "Don't try to change the subject. I've already seen the surveillance footage. This lady has no responsibility. On the contrary, you're the one who's deliberately causing trouble. It's a bit like you're trying to scam someone."

Old Wang's eyes flickered: "Officers, don't scare me. I'm seventy years old. According to the law, I can't be detained. I won't fall for that."

Li Mu sneered: "You're really asking for it, aren't you? I've seen plenty of old scoundrels like you. You think you can't be dealt with just because you're old? You're acting all high and mighty here."

He slammed his hand on the table again: "Tell me honestly, do you have any prior criminal records? How many years did you serve in jail?"

Old Wang shrank back in fright and stammered, "Who has a criminal record? You're the ones with criminal records! I'm a law-abiding citizen."

Zhao Jiwei suddenly came over with his phone and said, "Brother Li, we found out. He was imprisoned when he was young for fighting and theft, and in recent years he has been punished multiple times for staged accidents."

Li Mu raised his head and looked at the old man with a half-smile: "I knew it. So slippery. Turns out you're a seasoned veteran who's been in and out of the palace several times."

"Tell me, you've terrified Ms. Zhou and her child quite a bit. Have you considered how much responsibility you'll bear?"

Old Wang protested: "Officer, why should I take responsibility? Look at my face, she beat me badly, that's when they should be held responsible."

Li Mu's face turned cold: "Since you've been to the palace several times, stop pretending to be a law-abiding citizen. You're even trying to act tough in front of us. We can tell what you're up to the moment you bend over."

"You think getting old is your shield? Haven't been inside for a few years? Your memory has gotten worse, and you don't remember what it was like inside."

"My patience is limited. I need to think carefully about how to apologize to Ms. Zhou."
