Quick Wear: Devil's Whisper

Officer Mu has been on the police force for forty years and will soon be able to retire honorably and return home to enjoy his old age.

But just when he was about to complete the handover and had only two days left on the job, the bureau received Fang Yuan's case.

He could have stayed out of this case, because the trial and supervision process of a criminal case cannot be completed within two days, and he was indeed not suitable to handle this case.

But he still wanted to know the details of the case, not for any other reason, but because the victim of this case was Liang Mancang.

It’s not that Liang Mancang has ever given him any benefits, but in recent years, this is the third time that Liang Mancang has been hospitalized for treatment due to domestic violence.

This is still related to the case, which he knows about. As for how many times he was beaten in private, it is unknown.

Although there were reasons why Liang Mancang was beaten, it is wrong to use violence in a marriage.

He had no role in the investigation of the fraud case, so after understanding the general situation, he chose to go out on the field with his colleagues.

Seeing Liang Mancang's miserable condition in the intensive care unit, Officer Mu couldn't help but frown. Hao Meili was too cruel.

Two policemen took Liang Mancang's statement, during which he did not mention how he was injured because it was irrelevant to the case. He only talked about Fangyuan's fraud.

Officer Mu repeatedly stressed that there are only zero times and countless times of domestic violence, and that legal weapons should be used to protect oneself.

Liang Mancang was surprised. This was just a family dispute, how could it be elevated to the legal level? He didn't need the police's help, he was living a good life.

Officer Mu sighed. Maybe Liang Mancang was scared after being beaten, or maybe Hao Meili had some leverage over him.

But in his opinion, no evidence is more important than his own life. Even if he loses wealth and power, he can still work hard and it is also good to enjoy a simple life.

Maybe the thoughts of these rich people are not on the same level as those of ordinary people like them, but he still hopes that Liang Mancang can be braver and say no to domestic violence.

On the last afternoon before his retirement, Officer Mu went to Fengsheng Entertainment to meet Hao Meili, but before he could explain his purpose, he had a meal first.

"Officer Mu, long time no see! Aren't you going to retire soon? Why are you still wearing a police uniform to our company? This has a bad influence. If you are photographed by paparazzi, it will be bad for the company's image."

It seemed that since the first time they met, this strong woman always spoke with sarcasm and disliked him.

Officer Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Sorry, there won't be a next time."

Although Hao Meili didn't like this man, she still had basic courtesy. She took off her boxing gloves and handed them to Assistant Sun beside her.

The lead dancer of a popular girl group came over to wipe the sweat off Hao Meili's face, the popular male singer brought a fruit plate, and the new and popular young actor who has made great success in film, television and music gave Hao Meili a skillful shoulder and neck massage.

Since Officer Mu can recognize these people at his age, it means they are really popular because they can be seen in advertisements endorsed by them everywhere.

The boss of this entertainment company acts like an ancient emperor. Looking at the exquisite snacks and fruit plates pushed in front of her, perhaps the emperor doesn't have as good a life as she does.

Gathering his thoughts, Officer Mu stated his purpose, hoping that Hao Meili could still communicate calmly, as violence could not resolve family conflicts.

Hao Meili took a sip of juice, put down the cup and said in surprise: "I think the effect is quite good. When a person starts to not understand what others say, then we can only use the most primitive way of communication to let him know what he can do and what he absolutely cannot do, because the consequences are something he cannot bear."

Officer Mu frowned, still trying to dissuade Hao Meili. After being married for many years, is there anything that cannot be discussed calmly? In fact, there is no need for a husband-and-wife relationship like hers and Liang Mancang to continue.

Hao Meili shook her head: "You have been a police officer for so many years, you must have handled more domestic violence cases than I have ever heard of. The marriage certificate is a good thing. As long as I can't kill him, I will beat him to death. Anyway, it will protect me. It's useless not to beat him, isn't it?"

Hao Meili tilted her head and smiled: "Actually, I'm more curious about why you are so concerned about Liang Mancang. Have you handled similar cases before? Was the man beaten to death? Was the violent wife sentenced to death?"

Officer Mu returned to the police station in a daze and handed in his officer ID. After his colleagues removed the police insignia from his uniform, they returned the uniform to him as a souvenir.

After returning home, looking at the police uniform on the table, Lao Mu remembered Hao Meili's words again.

When he was young, he was injured while on duty. Between the choice of staying in the criminal police team to do logistical clerical work or going to a grassroots police station, he chose to work in a grassroots police station.

The life of working overtime every day on cases was replaced by trivial matters, and the psychological gap was quite big.

Before he had adjusted his mindset, he encountered a case, which was also the biggest regret in his police career.

At that time, a young woman with disheveled hair ran to the police station to report the case. There were bruises on her face and arms, and dried blood at the corners of her mouth. It was obvious that she had suffered violent injuries.

In that era when domestic violence cases occurred frequently, not many people actually called the police. Generally, women who suffered domestic violence would eventually choose to swallow their anger and make do with it.

They worry that they won’t be able to make a living without a job, that they don’t have anyone to support them in their natal family, that they will have nowhere to live after a divorce, or that they are worried about their young children…

The reasons are generally of these types, so the few domestic violence cases received by the police station will eventually be closed by the reporters themselves.

This lesbian was in the same situation. At first, she was determined to get a divorce, but just three days later, her mother and brother came over and said they wanted to withdraw the case.

The police station naturally disagreed. Not only did the case not get closed, they were also scolded for nothing.

The next day, when Lao Mu went to the urban-rural fringe to mediate a dispute, he received a call from the deputy director, asking him to go and see the situation of the female comrade who was suffering from domestic violence.

Old Mu was young at that time and had not yet married and had children. He did not have a good impression of people who did not dare to resist and were submissive.

He went to the home of the person who reported the case as a routine matter, but the old man in the house looked at him fiercely, as if he was ready to swing a broom to chase him away if they had a disagreement.

The reporter signed his own agreement to withdraw the case, and Lao Mu didn't waste any words on it. He had seen this kind of thing so many times that he was too lazy to care about it.

He had just got on his bike and was about to leave when a man leading a little boy approached him cautiously. After hesitating for a long time, he asked him whether the government would intervene if a man suffered domestic violence.

Old Mu looked him up and down in disbelief. The man was of medium build, about 1.72 meters tall, and there were no scars on his exposed skin. Could it be that he was the victim of domestic violence?
