The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

The police station was quite lively late at night: drunkards causing trouble, students riding motorcycles recklessly through the streets, and homeless men kicking under women's skirts in the street...

When you feel that the world is beautiful, peaceful, and normal, you might as well go to a police station late at night and take a break under the pretext that your phone is out of battery.

You don't need to bother the police to take care of you; you just need to occupy a seat and sit for a while to observe the other side of your world.

This is the safest way to see the other side of the world, even safer than using a VPN to access foreign websites and watch illegal videos.

Xiao Du is a police academy graduate, and his future is certainly bright, but that bright future is not enough to mask his daily exhaustion.

His elements are already fully stacked.

Single + living in another city + can drive + can write documents + lives in a dormitory = nuclear-powered donkey.

Already exhausted, and further worn out from dealing with drunkards in the middle of the night, he was extremely frustrated.

Most young police officers probably dreamed of solving major cases during their student days.

But once you actually step into the workforce and are driven crazy by endless trivialities, you gradually let go of this fantasy and instead hope that tomorrow you won't encounter "an eighty-year-old man who, after harassing a young girl, keeps provoking you until you arrest him..."

Xiao Du is also experiencing this kind of tiring, trivial life.

But unlike others, he still harbored the dream of solving a major case.

Even after he drove a beat-up police car all day, helped two aunties find their cats, mediated a love triangle dispute, stopped a valet driver and a drunk customer from fighting, and dealt with a game streamer causing a disturbance.

I'm so exhausted I'm practically unrecognizable.

But he still felt that if he could pull off a groundbreaking crime in the dead of night and achieve a remarkable feat, his career would be incredibly successful.

He was daydreaming as he leaned back in his chair eating shrimp and fish cake noodles, and he was still daydreaming as he went to the toilet to squat hard after drinking a can of ice-cold cola.

He was still daydreaming when he received the call from the emergency call center.

Just when he thought it was another incident like a driver and customer fighting or a drunk taking public facilities home, he realized...

He suddenly heard the words "hallucinogenic drugs" and "forced imprisonment".

Even if you're not a police officer, you probably know what those two words are often associated with.

poison.

His breathing began to quicken.

Anything related to drugs is a huge case.

But such a huge case has little to do with him, a lowly police officer.

Logically, other departments should have been notified.

Even if their cooperation is required within their own jurisdiction, it should be the anti-drug department that notifies them.

Instead of the alarm center.

As he continued listening, his heart leaped into his throat when he heard the words "anchor" and "suspected imprisonment."

The opportunity to make a contribution seems to be right today!

To be successful!

Now he knew why they had called him!

This matter involves so many elements.

Since it happened in my own jurisdiction, I can't escape responsibility no matter what.

He turned around and told the two veteran police officers in the duty room about it, and very conscientiously put on his clothes to prepare for a call.

But the two elderly policemen stopped him and told him with tears in their eyes:

"Xiao Du, you've had a long day. We two brothers can handle this."

"This... I don't mind being tired."

"This is dangerous, and you have no experience."

"Since I have no experience, you should take me to learn..."

"If I tell you to be on duty, then you'll be on duty."

The two old policemen left.

Xiao Du sat on the chair, looking aggrieved, while on duty.

He wants to catch the world's most terrifying criminals and solve the most ruthless cases...

I wonder how many more years it will be before I encounter this case again.

Until the police station door was pushed open.

A pretty girl wearing a coat walked in.

Normally, Xiao Du would have glanced at this kind of beautiful, long-haired, straight-haired Japanese-style campus girl, but he really wasn't in the mood right now.

"Should we call the police?"

"Confess."

???

Xiao Du stared blankly at the pretty girl in front of him, and subconsciously took out handcuffs from the drawer.

"What do you want to turn yourself in about?"

"I want to confess to manufacturing hallucinogenic drugs and imprisoning others..."

???

Shang Qingya sat there and spoke.

...

Xu Zhixiao put down the phone.

Because of the time difference between Berlin and China, she deliberately chose to make the emergency call late at night.

When she learned that the person who had been given the love potion was Lu Yuan, she had no reason not to report it to the police.

Indeed.

The love potion doesn't have hallucinogenic effects; it's just a bottle of sugary sweet drink with excessive sugar content.

However, Xu Zhixiao felt that there was a problem with making Lu Yuan take the medicine every day.

She's not a little kid who can just drink whatever she's told to.

He was most likely imprisoned...

Xu Zhixiao is indeed a very motherly person.

In this situation, she even preserved many details.

This includes stating that Shang Qingya is a live streamer when reporting to the police, rather than mentioning her affiliation with Nanjiang University of Science and Technology. This way, the police would first try to find her online to understand the situation, rather than contacting the school immediately.

This gives Shang Qingya a chance to mitigate the impact, if she is sincere and acts appropriately.

However, this was the only warmth Xu Zhixiao could offer her.

This matter has clearly crossed Xu Zhixiao's bottom line.

If everything is really as Xu Zhixiao thinks, and Lu Yuan is indeed imprisoned.

If I help Lu Yuan call the police, Lu Yuan should be able to escape soon.

If that's not the case, then there's no loss.

...

Officer Du put down the phone and wondered why another emergency call had come in.

Why did you turn yourself in?

"I realize my mistake."

Shang Qingya gave Officer Du a complete account of the incident.

Logically, given that there were two phone calls reporting the incident and she herself turned herself in, this pretty girl named Shang Qingya should have been arrested immediately.

But no matter how Xiao Du listened, he felt there was something fishy about it.

"You mean you drugged him while he was drinking, then imprisoned him and fed him your homemade love potion every day?"

"right."

"Now you think he's fallen in love with you, so you've turned yourself in."

"right."

"You didn't receive a single penny in this process?"

"right."

"So you raped him?"

"no."

Shang Qingya shook her head

Xiao Du also shook his head.

He asked, "So what are you after?"

I want him to like me.

Isn't that crazy?

Xiao Du scratched his head, finding it hard to understand the girl's thought process.

This matter can be big or small.

It is indeed illegal, but whether or not it will be pursued depends entirely on what the victim says.

Just like SM, from an outsider's perspective, if the S beats the M to death, it is definitely illegal.

But if M insists on saying it's great, then there's nothing you can do.

"Two police officers have already gone to your rented villa. Let's see what the victim has to say," Xiao Du said, shaking his head. "If the victim pursues the matter against you, then you'd better pray for yourself."

...

Congratulations on successfully gaining your personal freedom and escaping your constraints!

Please retaliate severely against the perpetrators and crack down on this illegal behavior.

Lu Yuan listened to the voice in his head, stood up in a daze, and paced back and forth in the living room.

It feels great to be free again.

He read the letter Shang Qingya had left on the table, then turned and glanced at the hot pot dishes on the table.

I'm hungry.

He sat down and started eating.

Slow and methodical.

Hearing the knocking at the door, he wiped his mouth, opened the door, and looked at the two police officers.

P.S.: One chapter. I'm stuck at the airport due to a flight delay. I'll finish it tomorrow.
