Chapter 882 Investigation
After returning to the police station, Lin Hao got out of the police car and ordered:

"Dawei, take Mr. Yue to the interrogation room first. I'll be there in a moment."

After saying that, he turned to Xia Jie who was standing at the door and said:

"Xia Jie, will you accompany Liu Xiaoli to the other interrogation room? I'll be there right away!"

Xia Jie nodded and said, "Okay!"

In the interrogation room, Liu Xiaoli sat opposite Lin Hao and Xia Jie. Then Lin Hao began to question her and asked her to tell the whole story again.

After Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, she immediately said excitedly:

"Comrade police officer, everything I said is true. Not a single word of falsehood. I was indeed raped by him!"

Lin Hao nodded and said:

"I believe you. Things are indeed a little strange. However, we police officers rely on evidence when handling cases. We cannot just rely on words. Can you recall the specific process of your leaving the bar?"

Liu Xiaoli thought for a moment and said, "He said he would take me home. I was drunk at the time, and we were having a good chat, so I didn't think much about it and got into his car. When I opened my eyes, I was already at his house!"

Lin Hao continued to ask: "What time is that?"

Liu Xiaoli tried to recall it, and finally said: "I remember that I was going home at half past ten."

Lin Hao asked: "And then?"

Liu Xiaoli lowered her head: "When I woke up, he had almost taken off my clothes."

"I begged him, but he said he would kill me if I dared to run. He also said that no one in front of me escaped!"

"I wanted to shout, but he pointed the knife at my neck. It was so scary. I had no choice but to obey!"

Lin Hao asked: "Besides these! Is there anything else?"

Liu Xiaoli looked at him, then at Xia Jie, and said hesitantly:
"And then, and then, police officer, he is a pervert. There are some things I can't say."

Lin Hao thought for a moment and asked, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Liu Xiaoli hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

After asking several times, Liu Xiaoli still didn't say anything.

Lin Hao and Xia Jie looked at each other. Liu Xiaoli was feeling quite resistant right now, and it seemed difficult to ask anything for the moment.

Lin Hao came to the interrogation room next door again, and Li Dawei was ready.

Lin Hao said: "Yue Wei, tell me what happened. They firmly pointed out that you were the one who raped her!"

Yue Wei immediately made a wronged expression and said:
"Comrade police officer, I am innocent! Think about it, I am not bad looking, I have been working outside for so many years, although I don't have a wife, I have met many women."

"In the bar, she took the initiative to rub against me and flirted with me in both words and deeds. Police comrade, we are all men, who can stand this? I took her home in a fit of anger."

"But this guy is going too far. If you want money, just say so. If two hundred is too little, I can give you more. But you can't hurt me like this. Just because your face changes, you accuse me of rape."

Lin Hao stared at Yue Wei and said, "So you didn't force it at the time. Both parties were willing."

Yue Wei pretended to be calm and said, "Of course, police comrade, I even paid you! How can this be considered rape?"

After asking a few more questions, Yue Wei answered them flawlessly.

Lin Hao also knew that this habitual criminal had already prepared his words, and if he just questioned him, he would probably not get anything out of him!
At this time, a policeman came in and whispered something in Lin Hao's ear.

Lin Hao nodded and said, "Okay, let's stop here for now."

Two auxiliary police officers were assigned to strictly guard the interrogation room. Lin Hao led Li Dawei out and then called Xia Jie to come out as well.

After the three of them gathered together, Li Dawei asked curiously, "Chief Lin, what happened?"

Lin Hao thought for a moment and said, "When we called the police, this case was registered as a rape case at the police center. According to the rules, this kind of case needs to be taken over by the criminal police team."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Li Dawei said with a sense of relief:
"These two are quite difficult to deal with. If we hand them over to the criminal police team, we won't have to worry about them."

Lin Hao shook his head and smiled: "You are right, but I think things may not be that simple!"

After looking at each other, in their opinion, this case was actually very simple, so Li Dawei asked doubtfully:

"But all the evidence and testimony show that this is just an ordinary prostitution case. We really can't figure out what the problem is."

Lin Hao naturally understood their doubts, so he said calmly:
"You guys are also graduates of the police academy and have been doing internships for such a long time, don't you notice anything wrong?"

"I know what you are thinking. You feel that this girl's dress, makeup, and speech are like a lady, but I want to tell you."

"First of all, as a qualified police officer, we cannot have a preconceived position and then look for evidence that fits that preconceived position."

"For example, this girl Liu Xiaoli, to be fair, if you don't wear tinted glasses, she is just an ordinary girl!"

Seeing the two of them looking thoughtful, Lin Hao continued:
"You've met Liu Xiaoli, too. She's a frequent pub haunter, well-informed, and not too timid. But think about what happened when we went out on duty. Liu Xiaoli was really scared!"

"If it was just a simple transaction relationship, even if there was a dispute over the price, it wouldn't scare the girl like that."

Xia Jie suddenly realized, "Chief Lin, are you saying that there is something wrong with Yue Wei?"

Lin Hao nodded: "There is no evidence, but I feel it will definitely not be that simple!"

"Well, let's notify the criminal police team first, but I don't think they will come to the station to pick up the person until dawn."

"So you should first check the details of Yue Wei and Liu Xiaoli."

"Especially for Yue Wei, it would be best to look through our old case files and police records. Many of them are not connected to the Internet, and there might be clues!"

Li Dawei and Xia Jie looked at each other, and then acted according to Lin Hao's arrangements.

Watching the two of them take action, Lin Hao shook his head.

There was no other way. Even though he knew Yue Wei was a ruthless psychopath, he had to follow the process step by step to make the case seem logical.

Otherwise, you can just jump out and say Yue Wei has committed such and such a crime. How can you know so much about the suspect you just met without any evidence and how can you determine that he has committed a crime?

Then, based on the information he had, Lin Hao called the forest police station where Yue Wei was registered.

"Hello, is this the Linchang Police Station? Hello. I'm from the Balihe Police Station in Pingling City."

"We have detained a criminal suspect named Yue Wei. His ID card information is from you. I would like to contact you to learn more about the situation."

"Okay, it's settled. I'll call you when your director arrives at work."

······
In fact, the criminal police team arrived faster than Lin Hao had imagined. At daybreak, they drove two cars to pick people up.

A member of the criminal police team got off the car and immediately saluted Lin Hao:
"Hello, Director Lin, we are sent by Captain Luo to pick you up!"

Lin Hao also returned the greeting, and then said helplessly: "You came so early, I thought you had to wait until work!" "Although the information and evidence here are all ready, some background information is still under investigation!"

Upon hearing this, the visitor quickly said politely: "It's okay, Chief Lin. We really haven't prepared everything yet. We can also accept the investigation!"

Lin Hao thought about it and decided to speed up the case process, so he nodded and said:

"How about this, you take the person back first, and I'll send him to your Captain Luo after I'm done sorting him out, and try to reduce the workload for your criminal police team!"

"Oh, thank you so much, Director Lin!" Upon hearing this, the people from the criminal police team expressed their gratitude.

"It's okay, we're one family and we don't have to talk behind each other's backs!"

After a brief handover, Lin Hao watched the criminal police team leave.

At this moment, Lin Hao's cell phone rang. It was the forest police station he had contacted before.

Afterwards, the forest farm police station told Lin Hao everything they had learned, and Lin Hao's expression became more and more serious.

Li Dawei and Xia Jie, who were about to report the results of the investigation, and Zhao Jiwei, who had just arrived at the police station, became a little nervous and curious as they saw Lin Hao's expression becoming more and more serious.

After hanging up the phone, he quickly came over and asked, "Chief Lin, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"Master, is there any big case? I, I~!" Zhao Jiwei said excitedly.

Lin Hao glanced at Zhao Jiwei, then said unhappily: "Did something big happen? Are you so happy?"

Lin Hao frowned, then said seriously:

"I just contacted the Linchang Police Station, and they said that fifteen years ago, Yue Wei worked as an auxiliary police officer in his hometown police station for three years!"

"Also, when he was working as an auxiliary police officer, a woman working in a special industry also accused him of rape, but there was no evidence, so the case was dropped. Soon after, he resigned from his position as an auxiliary police officer, and since then, he has rarely returned."

Li Dawei's eyes lit up and he said, "He looks like a habitual criminal! From this point of view, it is very likely that Yue Wei raped Liu Xiaoli!"

Lin Hao nodded and said, "Not only that, before Yue Wei resigned, the old director who was in charge of handling his case lost his gun, and it has not been found until now!"

Xia Jie said in surprise: "No way, Yue Wei is so brave, it shouldn't be related to him!"

Lin Hao reminded again: "It's hard to say whether it's difficult or not, but you must pay attention to safety."

Li Dawei said, "Captain Li, should we go to the criminal police team and tell them the news?"

Lin Hao said: "I will call Captain Luo later and pass the information to them. I will ask them to pay attention to this case."

"By the way!" At this point, Lin Hao asked, "How is your investigation into the background information of the two people going?"

"Here!" Xia Jie handed the sorted information to Lin Hao.

After taking a quick look, Lin Hao said seriously:

"The information room is well-behaved. We still have to go to the community where the two live to learn about the actual situation of Yue Wei and Liu Xiaoli's family!"

"Okay, Chief Lin!" The two nodded in response, then turned around to drive.

Lin Hao looked at Zhao Jiwei who looked innocent, and said unhappily: "What are you still standing there for? Follow him!"

Zhao Jiwei smiled happily when he heard this: "Okay, Master!"

The four people were divided into two groups and went to the communities where Liu Xiaoli and Yue Wei lived respectively.

The aunt of the district committee where Liu Xiaoli lived sighed and said,

"Alas, Xiaoli is a pitiful child. She was a treasure in her mother's hand when she was young, and she was also very beautiful."

"But her mother died early, and her father found her a stepmother. Suddenly, she fell from heaven to earth."

Xia Jie immediately asked, "Does her stepmother abuse her?"

The aunt shook her head and said, "As for abuse, we don't have any evidence, and we didn't see her stepmother do anything."

"But she can't stand it in front of her father. Her father has a bad temper and beats her to death, and her stepmother is still making sarcastic remarks on the side!"

"The community also visited the family several times to persuade them, but it's hard for an honest official to judge family affairs, right? After that, the child didn't learn his lesson."

Lin Hao continued to ask: "Has she ever done anything illegal?"

"I haven't heard of that!" Thinking of Liu Xiaoli's experience and her subsequent behavior, the neighborhood committee lady shook her head and said:
"That's right, this girl has a boyfriend outside, has tattoos, smokes, and hangs around on the street with a bunch of young boys. She looks like she's not serious at all!"

At this point, the neighborhood committee lady asked in confusion, "Why, what happened to her?"

Lin Hao shook his head, then said with a smile:

"No, we are investigating another case involving her, and we are here to ask about her situation!"

The two men wandered around the community for a long time and looked for community staff to learn about the situation in detail before returning to the station.

Li Dawei also reported to Yue Wei what happened in the rented house. Finally, Li Dawei said:

"Director Lin, after my visit with Zhao Jiwei, I also feel that there is something wrong with Yue Wei."

"People just glanced into his room and showed murderous eyes. This is obviously abnormal."

At this point, Li Dawei added:
"Plus, Liu Xiaoli also said that Yue Wei had expressed that no one could escape from him. If this is true, then his room is likely to be the first scene!"

Lin Hao nodded, and then praised:

"That's a good analysis, but when we police investigate cases, we focus on evidence, and there is currently no evidence to prove Yue Wei's crime!"

"However, since we have obtained so many clues, all pointing to the problem of Yue Wei, then we will follow this direction and investigate what kind of person Yue Wei is!"

Then Lin Hao stood up and said:

"I will go to the criminal police team first and give the information I have to Captain Luo. You can check if there are any clues or evidence!"

"Yes!" the three shouted in unison.

······
Afterwards, Lin Hao came to the criminal police team, and Captain Luo, who was in charge of this case, personally received Lin Hao.

When they arrived at the office, Captain Luo poured them some water and laughed:
"Director Lin, thank you for sharing the information in a timely manner. However, it seems that you don't trust our work! And you came here specially to understand the situation!"

Lin Hao knew that Captain Luo was feeling uncomfortable, so he explained with a smile:
"Captain Luo, what are you talking about? After all, we are the ones who received the call, so we should finish what we started!"

"The key point is that the girl was really scared at the time. She looked very panicked and scared. It didn't seem like she was lying. I didn't believe she could have hidden it from me!"

"And the more information I learned, the more I felt that something was not right about this case. I felt like I was being scratched by a cat in my heart!"

"So I wanted to come and see what's going on. Is there some hidden story? And you're saying I'm overthinking it!"
