SFS Chapter 176 Is Taking a Pulse Illegal?
Chapter 176 Is Taking a Pulse Illegal?
Seeing Li Yi's confident assertion, the two police officers began to have doubts.
However, Lü Sitong insisted that Li Yi had just tried to rape her.
Both sides have their own version of events, and neither has much evidence.
The police could only follow procedure and take both of them back first to investigate the specific circumstances.
Li Yi naturally had nothing to be afraid of.
After offering a few words of comfort to Sun Min, he got into the car with the police.
More than half an hour later.
Just as I arrived at the entrance of the police station, a middle-aged man in his forties with a large belly walked towards me.
Looking at Li Yi, who had just been brought back, the middle-aged man immediately asked, "Xiao Zhang, what's going on here?"
One of the police officers replied, "Captain Chen, someone reported that this guy committed rape."
"A rapist?" Chen Qingsheng seemed intrigued upon hearing this. "I happen to be free right now, so you can leave him to me."
The two police officers who had just brought Li Yi back were quite surprised to hear this.
Although Lü Sitong reported it as rape, in reality, Li Yi's situation at most constitutes indecent assault and harassment, and may not even qualify as a criminal case.
For minor cases like this, the local police officers are usually responsible for recording and questioning the suspects.
It's a waste of talent for Chen Qingsheng, the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team, to personally interrogate this kind of case.
"Captain Chen, the case isn't closed yet. How about we ask around and then hand it over to you?" another police officer suggested.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingsheng immediately retorted, "What? You don't trust me with this case?"
"How could that be! Captain Chen, you're so experienced, what could we possibly worry about?"
Seeing that Chen Qingsheng insisted on personally interrogating the case, the two police officers did not hesitate any longer and handed Li Yi over to him directly.
......
In the cramped interrogation room.
Chen Qingsheng personally conducted the interrogation, while a slightly younger criminal police officer took notes.
"Name?"
"Li Yi!"
"age?"
"23!"
"..."
Li Yi had previously introduced the interrogation process because of Liu Yuxiang's case, so he was quite familiar with the procedures.
After asking several questions in a row, Chen Qingsheng continued, "Kid, did you rape the victim or not?"
"Of course not!" Li Yi shook his head decisively. "Officer, I didn't even touch her clothes. If you don't believe me, you can take fingerprints from her."
Chen Qingsheng had already seen the police report.
Hearing this again, he gave Li Yi a meaningful look. "Don't worry, we'll investigate. However, it will take time to extract the fingerprints, so you'll have to stay here for now."
"That's no problem, as long as the matter can be investigated thoroughly."
"Alright, then you just wait."
The detective in charge of taking notes recorded Li Yi's fingerprints, then temporarily ended the interrogation and arranged for him to go to a private room to await the investigation results.
Fortunately, the wait wasn't too long.
About an hour later, he was taken to the interrogation room again.
This time, Chen Qingsheng was still in charge of the interrogation.
However, this time, as soon as Li Yi sat down in the interrogation room, the other party handcuffed his hands.
Li Yi was taken aback. "Officer, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Qingsheng snorted coldly, "Kid, the investigation results are in. We have indeed found your fingerprints on the victim. Now that we have both witnesses and physical evidence, what else do you have to say?"
"What?" Li Yi was stunned. "Officer, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
"Nonsense! You think I'm joking with you?"
With a snap!
Chen Qing slammed his hand on the table and said in a serious tone, "Kid, let me tell you, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. You have to confess honestly now to get lenient treatment."
I didn't do anything at all, so why should I admit to any crime?
Li Yi frowned. "Officer, are you sure you got my fingerprints from that woman?"
"Of course! We just extracted three fingerprints from the victim's wrist, and after comparison, these three fingerprints match yours perfectly."
Wait! The wrist?
Li Yi was stunned when he heard this, and finally realized why he was able to extract his fingerprints from Lü Sitong.
"Officer, you've got it wrong. I'm a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. The woman said she had chest discomfort, so I took her pulse, which is why I left fingerprints on her wrist. That doesn't prove anything."
"Hmph! What kind of bullshit is this Traditional Chinese Medicine? Don't think I don't know you're just using the guise of treating patients to commit crimes against your victims. Now the evidence is irrefutable, and you can't deny it!"
I was just taking a pulse, how did that become a crime?
Li Yi immediately retorted, "I am indeed a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. If you don't believe me, you can check my records. Besides, those three fingerprints on the other person's wrist don't prove anything, do they?"
"Why not? You used your position to grope the victim. Even without other evidence, I can charge you with attempted rape!"
Grass!
Seeing Chen Qingsheng repeatedly accuse him of rape and trying to pin the crime on him, Li Yi's face darkened. "I'll say it again, I only took her pulse, I didn't do anything else, and I didn't commit any crime!"
Chen Qingsheng scoffed, "Hmph! Whether someone has committed a crime or not isn't something you can determine just by talking. If you're so capable, produce some evidence!"
evidence?
Li Yi looked down at the handcuffs on his wrists, feeling a surge of anger.
Although he wasn't a police officer and had never handled a case, it was clearly illogical to convict someone based solely on the presence of three fingerprints on Lü Sitong's wrist.
Li Yi originally wanted to cooperate with the police to thoroughly investigate the matter.
But now, the other party has no intention of conducting a proper investigation at all.
Li Yi became increasingly angry.
In a fit of anger, he directly mobilized his internal energy and exerted force with both hands.
In the quiet interrogation room, a click suddenly rang out.
Chen Qingsheng looked over with a puzzled expression.
The next moment, his eyes widened in surprise.
Li Yi, who was sitting directly in the interrogation chair, slowly raised his hands, and the silver bracelet on his wrist had somehow broken off.
Holy crap! What kind of monster is this kid?
They even managed to break the handcuffs.
After a thought flashed through Chen Qingsheng's mind, a strange fear suddenly rose in his heart.
Seeing Li Yi slowly stand up, he trembled and stammered, "Kid... what... what are you going to do?"
"Didn't you want evidence?"
Li Yi raised his hands and said, enunciating each word clearly, "If I really wanted to rape that woman, do you think she would have a chance to call the police?"
