Li Mu said thoughtfully, "Okay, dispatch the police immediately. However, since it was a lady who called the police, we need a female police officer to be present. Let's call Xia Jie."

Li Dawei immediately took out his phone: "Xia Jie seems to have gone out just now. I'll call her."

As Li Mu strode out, he said, "Time is of the essence, so we won't wait for her. Tell her to come back to the station and wait. We'll dispatch the police first and bring her back."

"Jiwei, let's go!"

Li Dawei dialed Xia Jie's number, said a few words hurriedly, and then quickly chased after her: "Chief Li, this is the first time I've encountered a case like this. I'll go with you."

Li Mu said, "By the way! Where's your master? I haven't seen him today!"

Li Dawei said, "Jiajia's custody is now with him, and he's become a doting father, feeling guilty towards Jiajia. He's taken the past few days off, saying he wants to take Jiajia on a trip."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Old Chen has come to terms with it! Then you can come along."

The three of them got into the police car and quickly arrived at the intersection of Shunhe Road. When they arrived, they saw a girl standing by the roadside, waving frantically at the police car. Li Mu immediately drove over.

The girl was heavily made up and dressed provocatively, looking like a prostitute. However, she was in a very bad state and was clearly terrified. She ran towards the police car as soon as she saw it, opened the door, and tried to get in.

Li Mu didn't let her get in, as it was inconvenient to ask questions. The group got out of the car and simultaneously turned on their body cameras.

After carefully examining the woman for a few moments, Li Mu asked, "Madam, did you call the police?"

The girl said in a panic, "Yes, it's me. Officer, I've been raped."

Li Mu nodded and said gently, "Don't be afraid, you're safe now. What's your name?"

The girl said, "Lily."

Li Mu frowned: "What's your full name?"

The girl said, "Liu Xiaoli... My name is Liu Xiaoli."

Li Mu said, "Could you tell me the specifics? Who raped you? What happened? You're safe now, you can tell me slowly."

Liu Xiaoli calmed down a bit: "Officer, I drank too much at a bar last night and got a little drunk. I met a man who said he would take me home, but he took me to his house and raped me."

Li Mu asked, "Do you know him?"

Liu Xiaoli shook her head: "I don't know him."

Li Dawei chimed in, "You got into his car without even knowing him? Did he give you something in return?"

Liu Xiaoli stammered, "At first, we got along quite well, so I got into his car. But he wanted me to do *that*, and I didn't agree. Besides, he's a pervert. Officer, that person was terrifying; I almost didn't make it out."

Li Dawei then asked, "Then let me ask you, did you accept the money from them?"

Liu Xiaoli said, "He later gave me two hundred yuan. I swear it wasn't what I wanted; he forced it on me when I was leaving."

Li Dawei looked down on this kind of woman. He turned to Li Mu and whispered, "Chief Li, look at this woman's clothes and appearance. She's obviously not respectable. I think she's a prostitute. Maybe they didn't agree on the price and had a conflict, which is why they called the police."

Li Mu did not respond to Li Dawei's words. He frowned, looked at Liu Xiaoli, and had a thoughtful expression on his face.

This seems to be Yue Wei's case in the drama.

This guy is a pervert!

He reached out to stop Li Dawei, who was about to say something, and his expression softened even more.

Looking at Liu Xiaoli, he said, "Now that this has happened, can you still remember where he lives?"

Liu Xiaoli nodded: "I remember."

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's good that you remember."

He turned and instructed, "Dawei, call a few more people and send a police car over."

Li Dawei was somewhat puzzled: "There's only one suspect. Even if we arrest him, do we really need so many people?"

Li Mu glared at him: "Have you forgotten the lesson you learned on your first day as a police officer? I remember your mentor explained it to you very clearly: 'When a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength.'"

"For us police officers, it's only an exception when two or three people arrest one person; it's the norm when five, six, seven, or eight people arrest one person. Individual heroism is not popular now."

Li Dawei smiled awkwardly. He recalled his first day as a police officer, when arresting a suspect required a large number of officers. At the time, he was puzzled, thinking that two or three people would have been enough, and was severely reprimanded by his mentor, Chen Xincheng.

"Director Li, I understand. I'll make the call right away."

Seven or eight minutes later, another police car arrived, and Xia Jie and two auxiliary police officers got out of the car.

"Commander Li!"

"Commander Li!"

Li Mu said, "Xia Jie, didn't I tell you to wait at the station? Why are you here?"

Xia Jie smiled and said, "I had nothing to do at the time, and I thought I might be of help here, so I came over."

Now that the person had arrived, Li Mu didn't say anything more and called to Liu Xiaoli, "Come on, get in the car, take us to his place."

Liu Xiaoli seemed a little scared: "Why don't you guys go? Why do I have to go to his house?"

Li Mu noticed her fear and reassured her, "Don't be afraid, we'll all go together. If the charges are proven, he'll be locked up right there. As the person involved, you don't want the case to end so abruptly, do you?"

Liu Xiaoli finally nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there. You must protect my safety. I won't go inside."

Li Mu laughed and said, "Okay!"

Guided by Liu Xiaoli, the car arrived at a bungalow about ten minutes later.

Liu Xiaoli whispered, "We're here, this is it."

Li Dawei looked around and asked, "Why haven't I seen any security cameras along the way?"

Zhao Jiwei said, "I remember there was always talk of demolition here, so naturally there weren't many surveillance cameras installed."

Li Dawei muttered to himself, "We'll have to report this when we get back; this is a security blind spot."

Liu Xiaoli got off the bus, but didn't dare to come over. She pointed to a wooden door by the roadside and said, "It's over there."

Li Mu said, "Don't be afraid, so many people are with you. If anything happens, we'll need you to identify them. Come here."

Liu Xiaoli then timidly approached, and Xia Jie, noticing her fear, went over and took her hand.

Li Mu took a deep breath to calm himself down. He decided to avoid force in the next operation if possible. Yue Wei was unaware that someone had seen through him and would continue to pretend to be a law-abiding citizen in front of the police as usual.

We can take advantage of this and use a gentle approach to get him to go to the police station willingly. Once he's there, things will be much easier.

Thinking of this, Li Mu went up and knocked on the door, and a male voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

Li Mu said, "We're from the police station, and we'd like to ask you about something."

The people inside seemed somewhat shocked. After a moment, the door creaked open, revealing the face of a man around forty years old. Upon seeing him, Liu Xiaoli was so frightened that she hid behind Li Mu.

Yue Wei feigned sleepiness: "Officer, what's the matter?"

Li Mu stepped forward, showed his identification, and said, "We're from the police station. We'd like to ask you about something."

As he spoke, he turned to Liu Xiaoli and asked, "Is it him?"

Liu Xiaoli's voice trembled: "It's him."

Li Mu then looked at Yue Wei and asked: "Do you know her?"

Yue Wei glanced at it, feigning indifference: "I know him! He just left here not long ago, didn't he? It's a fair trade, what's wrong with that!"

Li Mu put on a gentle expression.

"Oh, I see! What's your name? May I see your ID?"

Yue Wei said, "My name is Yue Wei. Have I broken the law?"

Li Mu said, "We received a report that the girl accused you of rape. Regardless of what happened between you, whether it was rape or a transaction, we need to investigate. Please cooperate."

Yue Wei feigned surprise: "What? Rape? It's true we just had sex, but it was consensual, and she even took two hundred yuan from me! Officer, you can't wrong me!"

Li Dawei interjected, "You don't mean rape, you paid money, so it's prostitution?"

Yue Wei said nonchalantly, "Of course, at most it's considered prostitution."

Li Mu glared at Li Dawei, then looked at Yue Wei and said calmly, "Even if it's prostitution, it violates the Public Security Administration Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China. Please cooperate with our investigation and show your valid identification."

Yue Wei reluctantly took out his ID card. Li Mu looked at it and had Zhao Jiwei swipe it on the machine. There was nothing unusual.

Li Mu smiled and, following the police dispatch procedure, adopted a relaxed and casual demeanor.

"Mr. Yue, may we come inside and take a look?"

Yue Wei hesitated for a moment, but didn't notice anything unusual, and laughed, "Whatever, see!"

Li Mu left the two auxiliary police officers, Xia Jie, and Liu Xiaoli outside, and led Zhao Jiwei and Li Dawei inside.

The room was simple, but exceptionally tidy, with only the blankets on the bed piled up haphazardly.

Li Mu looked around and everything seemed normal.

Yue Wei smiled and said, "Officer, I met her at a bar. We were alone together, and as we talked, things got a little off, so I brought her back."

"That's right, we slept together, but she initiated it. Tell me, if a woman doesn't want to do 'that,' why would she go to a man's house in the middle of the night with him?"

"After it was over, I felt bad, so I gave her two hundred yuan and saw her out. I didn't expect that this woman would turn on me as soon as she pulled up her pants."

His words were well-reasoned and measured, completely absolving himself of any responsibility; an ordinary person could easily be fooled.

Li Mu smiled and said, "What you said makes some sense. However, since she reported rape, we need to investigate. We hope you can cooperate with us and go to the police station."

Seeing Yue Wei hesitate, Li Mu continued, "Let's go. Even if you two are in a business relationship, you're still targets of our police force, so we'll have to make a trip. If you prove your innocence, you can just pay a fine and be released."

Yue Wei didn't notice anything unusual and pretended to be very straightforward, saying, "Fine, I'll go! Sleeping with a woman on the street is my indiscretion, but if you call it rape, I'm not afraid of anything!"
