The interrogation team member scratched his head again. "We caught a hooligan last night. He's very stubborn and won't confess no matter what we do. I heard that you helped the Changning District Police Station interrogate a habitual thief yesterday, so I'd like to ask you to help me take a look."

Xu Moran was completely speechless. They say good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. How come it's become good news that travels fast when it comes to her?

The thing is, she didn't actually do this good deed.

Is it because she was set as the female lead in this story that she has the halo of a female lead and does all the good things?

At this point, whether getting the habitual thief to confess was due to her own skill is no longer important; what matters is that everyone else thinks so.

The pressure is immense!

Being the female lead actually puts a lot of pressure on you, okay?!

"I'm not sure I can do it," Xu Moran said honestly.

Unexpectedly, such truths were interpreted as modesty by the interrogation team.

The young man smiled shyly, "Officer Xu, I believe you can do it."

Xu Moran, "..."

She was speechless.

Having been placed on such a high pedestal, Xu Moran had no choice but to agree. She forced a wry smile, "Thank you for your kind words, I'll try my best."

Xu Moran had just returned to her office a few minutes after leaving when she had a guess in her mind: perhaps her colleagues from other departments thought that the criminal investigation team was too idle because they didn't seem to have any cases all day, which was why they were asking her for help so frequently.

If that's the case, it's not a good sign.

It was just speculation, and there was no evidence to prove it. Xu Moran followed his colleagues from the interrogation department to the interrogation department.

On the way to the interrogation department, her colleagues there, in order to save time, told her the general situation.

After listening, Xu Moran was taken aback. When did Cong become so trustworthy about the cleaning lady's words?

It turns out that last night, Grandpa Wang really did encounter a hooligan outside his door, and was almost sexually assaulted by him.

When Xu Moran heard his colleagues in the interrogation department say that the person who tried to molest Master Wang was a man, and a middle-aged man who was only thirty-four years old, he immediately thought to himself, "Isn't that a bit too extreme?"

Xu Moran's colleagues in the interrogation department noticed her surprise and assumed it was the first time she had heard of a man molesting another man.

Especially the one who was sexually assaulted, who was the gatekeeper, Grandpa Wang, who was over sixty years old. In order for her to perform at her best later, he told Xu Moran about a similar case that had happened before.

The case involved an old man who looked after a melon shed. In the middle of the night, he discovered a thief. At first, he thought the thief wanted to steal his melons, but he was wrong. The thief's target was not his melons, but the old man himself.

In the end, the old man, who was in his fifties, was no match for the young man in his twenties, and was humiliated by the young man in his own melon shed.

Moreover, according to the old man's statement, the criminal who had humiliated him returned to him not long after he left.

The old man was hiding in the watermelon field when he heard the criminal who had bullied him keep repeating that he loved him and wanted to marry him.

The old man was heartbroken when a young man in his twenties confessed his love to him; the bitterness in his heart was beyond words.

After telling Xu Mo about this actual case, her colleagues in the interrogation department looked at her with an expression that said, "Don't be surprised anymore."

Xu Moran didn't speak. As a member of the police system, she naturally knew about the case that happened to the old man watching melons.

That's probably the first case in China involving a man assaulting another man that was widely exposed, publicly tried, and executed according to law.

For thousands of years, women have been a vulnerable group. Laws have only been enacted to address the harm done to women. As for the harm done to men, it's not that it has never happened, but even if it does, it won't be widely reported, much less investigated like the case of the old man in the melon shed.

This shows that society is indeed progressing and the legal system is indeed improving.

Perhaps in the near future, the issue of men being violated will also be written into the law.

Along the way, Xu Moran watched her colleagues in the interrogation department talking animatedly, and wanted to interrupt them several times. It wasn't that she didn't know, but rather that the main character had become the gatekeeper, Grandpa Wang, which surprised her.

The interrogation room was on the first floor. They arrived quickly, and Xu Moran hesitated for a moment as he walked in.

As a member of the criminal investigation team, she was busy taking statements for people and interrogating criminals. Didn't she seem a bit nosy?

To give an analogy, it's a bit like a dog that, besides opening the door, is also responsible for catching mice.

Xu Moran's colleagues in the interrogation department must have noticed her hesitation. They clasped their hands together and pleaded softly, "Officer Xu, please help me!"

Xu Moran pursed her lips and, without further hesitation, walked into the interrogation room.

When she graduated from police academy, she had to rotate through each department. Xu Moran did interrogate several prisoners. She looked very delicate and quiet, but once she put on her police uniform, she became stern and intimidating.

Xu Moran was now dressed in a police uniform, sitting in a chair with a serious expression, his cold gaze falling on the person opposite him, who suddenly shivered.

He was terrified. Judging from the description, it was a crime of passion, which would be easy to deal with.

Having confirmed this, Xu Moran already had a plan in mind to deal with him.

"Do you know what our principles are?" Xu Moran didn't yell at the man to make him explain, but asked him gently.
