Beiyuan District, Block 3, Room 502.
In the washroom.
"I have a flower, planted in my heart, budding and waiting to bloom, day and night …" A stout woman in her forties hummed a song as she wiped her face in the mirror.
There were obvious wrinkles on the woman's face, but she felt pretty good, especially since her skin had become noticeably smoother in the past two days. Thinking of this, the corner of her mouth curled into a smile.
How nice.
"Ring ring ring …" A cell phone rang. The woman picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen. The system indicated that it might be a courier or sales call.
The woman pressed the answer button. "Hello."
"Hello, is this Madam Ma? There's a delivery for you. Would you like to come down and pick it up, or should I send it to the courier station? "
She didn't choose either. "I'm at home. Bring it up."
"If it's convenient for you, come down and pick it up. I have other packages. It's not convenient."
"It's not convenient for you, but it's not convenient for me either. Your company's delivery fees are so expensive. I'm paying for this service. If you don't deliver it, I can only complain about you."
"Don't. I'll bring it up for you now."
The woman hung up and curled her lips. "Little girl, you're still playing this game with me."
The woman continued to stand in front of the mirror.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
The woman walked to the door and looked out. It was a young man in a courier uniform.
"Creak …" The door opened.
The woman moved aside and stared at the courier opposite. He was quite young and looked very spirited, but his eyes were a little small.
"Hello, is this Madam Ma?"
"It's me."
The young courier asked, "Do you need me to carry your package in for you?"
The woman crossed her arms and nodded. "Move it in."
The young courier moved the box into the living room. He kept staring at the woman from the corner of his eye. After putting down the box and getting up, the woman still didn't move.
"You're busy. I'll leave first," the courier said and turned to leave.
At this moment, there were many people standing on both sides of the door. Yanzi was the only policewoman. She muttered, "Sigh, Small Eye isn't charming enough!"
Guo Tianxu glared at her and gave Han Bin a look.
Han Bin nodded slightly.
Then, Guo Tianxu and Han Bin rushed in with their men.
"Police, don't move!"
At that moment, Small Eye and the woman had also reached the door. The woman was shocked when she heard the word 'police' and froze on the spot.
Seeing that she didn't resist, Han Bin didn't put the handcuffs on her. He looked her up and down. This auntie was really strong, as if she had been trained.
"What are you doing?" The woman sounded dissatisfied.
Han Bin flashed his police badge and said, "We are the police. Someone reported that they were assaulted by you. We are here to investigate."
The woman snorted lightly, looking as if she didn't care.
"Aiyo, what are you talking about? I'm a woman, how can I harm anyone? Someone must be framing me. "
"What's your name?"
"Ma Yueju." The woman nodded and looked outside. "Alright, let's not stand at the door. It won't be good if someone hears us. Let's go in and talk."
Yanzi muttered, "Tsk tsk, she's quite calm."
Han Bin took out Hu Jiaxun's photo and asked, "Do you know this person?"
Ma Yueju curled her lips and said, "He really is an ungrateful kid. I didn't call the police to arrest him and he turned around to frame me."
Han Bin raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by that?"
Guo Tianxu also understood what she was implying. He thought to himself, 'Could it be that there's something fishy going on here? Or perhaps they haven't reached an agreement on the benefits?'
Ma Yueju didn't answer but asked, "Officer, to be honest, I'm also a little curious. How did he report the case? What did he say?"
"He said that he was here to deliver a package. You asked him to leave the package in the living room and then knocked him out from behind. When he woke up, he was already tied up and you raped him." Han Bin gave a simple explanation without going into details.
"Haha …" Ma Yueju laughed. "He's really good at making up stories. He's trying to put himself out of the picture. I'm the bad guy and he's the victim."
When he took the statement, Han Bin also felt that Hu Jiaxun's testimony was a little hidden. "Then tell me what's going on."
Ma Yueju pondered for a moment and said, "He's not a delivery man at all. He's a thief who came to my house to steal something. That's why I knocked him out."
"He's a thief?" Yanzi exclaimed in surprise. "But we've checked your phone records. He did call you, and you picked up. This is the first time I've heard that a thief would greet the owner before making a call. "
"He didn't greet me. He was trying to find out if I was home." Ma Yueju snorted and continued, "That morning, I downloaded some videos from the internet and was watching them in my bedroom. Then, someone called and said that it was a package. I was excited at the time, so I said that I wasn't home and asked him to leave the package at the courier station. "
"Who would've thought that twenty minutes later, I would hear the door ringing. I was a little puzzled at the time. I live alone and no one else has a key. So, why would the door ring? I realized that it might be a thief."
"Then, I quietly opened the door a little and looked out. Sure enough, I saw a stranger come in and rummage through my living room. Then, I went out of my bedroom and knocked him out when he wasn't paying attention."
"This should be considered self-defense. You can't arrest me, can you? "
Han Bin said solemnly, "Is what you just said true? Lying to the police means you have to bear legal responsibility. It's not too late to tell the truth. "
"I swear that what I just said is true. That guy is a thief. He first pretended to be a delivery man to see if I was home. When he heard that I wasn't home, he took the opportunity to sneak into my house to steal something. He's very cunning."
Han Bin and Guo Tianxu looked at each other. Then, Guo Tianxu pulled Small Eye aside and whispered something to her.
Han Bin continued to ask, "What time did Hu Jiaxun come to your house to steal something?"
Ma Yueju thought for a moment. "Around nine in the morning on the 14th."
"When did he leave?"
"I can't remember."
"Then think about it until you remember where he is."
Ma Yueju glanced at Han Bin. "Police comrade, you're so fierce. I'm scared."
Han Bin shuddered and took a step back. When it came to acting coquettishly, it depended on the person. The one in front of him was simply terrifying.
Seeing Han Bin's actions, Ma Yueju felt a little embarrassed.
Han Bin asked again, "What time did Hu Jiaxun leave?"
"Around eleven o 'clock?"
"At night?"
"Yes."
"He stayed at your house for almost fourteen hours?"
"Yes."
"What did the two of you do?"
"We chatted."
"You chatted for fourteen hours?"
"Yes."
"What did you talk about?"
"I caught the thief, so naturally, I wanted to call the police. He begged me not to call the police. He said how hard it was for him and how difficult it was for me to give him a chance."
"That's all?"
"Yes, he said it over and over again. I'm a soft-hearted person, so I just listened."
"Even if he said it over and over again, he couldn't have said it for fourteen hours."
"I can't help it if you don't believe me."
"During this period, did he say that he wanted to leave?"
"No, he begged me not to call the police. I started to wonder if I should call the police. In the end, I didn't call the police and let him go."
Han Bin changed the topic. "Hu Jiaxun didn't say that. He said that you raped him."
Ma Yueju said angrily, "Listen to his nonsense. I'm not that kind of person. He's framing me. "
"Where did the two of you chat?"
"In the living room."
"Did you tie him up the whole time?"
"I had no choice. I wanted to call the police, but he didn't let me. I didn't dare to let go of his rope. What if he harmed me?"
"Did he go to your bedroom?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
Han Bin waved his hand. "Search."
Then, Yanzi, Da Han, and the rest of the policemen entered the bedroom to search.
"Hey, what are you doing? What right do you have to search my house?" Ma Yueju was anxious and stepped in front of them.
Han Bin showed them the search warrant. "Look at it yourself. This is the identification."
"Move aside." Yanzi pulled Ma Yueju aside while Da Han and the rest entered the bedroom to search.
Not long after, Da Han shouted, "Captain Han, Captain Guo, I found a man's underwear under Ma Yueju's bed."
Hearing this, Ma Yueju's expression changed.
Han Bin pointed at the underwear and asked, "Whose is this?"
"My … boyfriend's."
Han Bin snorted. "Do you want to do a DNA test?"
Ma Yueju quickly changed her words. "I don't know who it is."
"You don't know. Let me tell you. This is Hu Jiaxun's underwear. You brought him to the bedroom and bullied him. In order to keep the evidence, he put the underwear under the bed. What else do you have to say? "
Ma Yueju took a deep breath and said without showing any signs of weakness, "Yes, yes, you're right. I did strengthen Hu Jiaxun, but so what? Arrest me if you can. I've checked on the Internet. It's not illegal at all. "
Han Bin smiled. "It's indeed not illegal. I've never thought of using this reason to convict you."
"You said that Hu Jiaxun stayed at your house for 14 hours. The two of you were chatting. During that time, he didn't ask to leave. Instead, he begged you not to call the police. Based on the existing evidence, your words are not credible at all. It's a false confession. "
"It's not illegal for you to bully him, but it's obviously against his will. You've illegally deprived him of his personal freedom, which constitutes the crime of illegal detention."
"We're now arresting you for the crime of illegal detention."
As soon as Han Bin finished speaking, Yanzi and Da Han walked over and handcuffed Ma Yueju.
Ma Yueju shouted, "I'm not convinced! What right do you have to arrest me? Hu Jiaxun is a thief. He snuck into my house to steal things. Why don't you arrest him? "
Han Bin said, "Don't worry, Hu Jiaxun can't escape. His crime will only be more serious than yours."
"Haha … This idiot. I'm only sleeping with him because I think highly of him. Pfft, he's nothing." Ma Yueju laughed, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.
To her, the saddest thing was not being arrested, but that Hu Jiaxun was willing to risk going to jail to call the police.
'I'm a woman after all. Am I that bad?
