139: It's amazing that they could come up with this kind of collaborative model.

In Lei Jun's view, compensating for the camera loss was a procedural matter; anything that could be solved with money wasn't an issue. She disdained taking such a small advantage, even if the other party was scum.

But as for hitting him, she absolutely did not believe she was in the wrong.

Faced with such a despicable violation, was she supposed to reason with him in a gentle voice?

She believed in giving someone a taste of their own medicine, using absolute force to make the perpetrator instantly lose their ability to do evil; this was the most effective deterrent and form of self-protection.

The law might have its procedures, but at that moment, her fist was her law.

The captain hurriedly waved his hand, his tone very certain: "Miss Lei, you're overstating things!"

"There is absolutely no need for you to pay compensation!"

He pointed at the wreckage of the camera on the ground and spoke with righteous indignation.

"According to our investigation, this camera is a confirmed tool for committing a crime, used to secretly photograph others' privacy, which is illegal in itself!"

"Destroying it was a proper action to prevent the illegal act from continuing!"

"Not only do we not support compensation, but we also intend to hold him accountable for using tools for illegal activities!"

On one hand, his words were the truth; on the other, he was taking the opportunity to do Lei Jun a favor and state his position.

What a joke—make this person compensate a pervert for his criminal tools?

Did they even want to keep wearing their uniforms?

Lei Jun was very satisfied with this result from the police and gave him a nod with a smile.

Seeing Lei Jun nod, the captain breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong; if he really offended this lady, he could forget about being a captain.

The crowd's shock erupted into a complete uproar upon seeing this scene.

"My god, the police are actually talking to her so politely and saying she's not responsible?"

"Just what is this Miss Lei's identity? Even the police are giving her so much face!"

"No wonder she wasn't afraid at all just now; turns out she has such a powerful background. But she wasn't wrong either; that upskirt-photographer deserved to be hit!"

"He deserves it! That pervert's camera should have been smashed! The Police Officers are truly wise!"

"Today has really been an eye-opener; turns out such privileges really exist in reality... but since it's used to punish bad people, it's really satisfying to watch!"

Some people felt greatly heartened, feeling that justice had been served.

A few people felt conflicted, finding this special treatment that clearly deviated from common sense a bit subtle, but given the identities of the victim and the perpetrator, most were inclined to agree with the outcome.

As for that wretched man, upon hearing the conversation between the police and Lei Jun—especially the captain's remarks about "criminal tools," "no compensation," and "holding him accountable"—he froze on the spot.

"Wh... what? Cri... criminal tool? No... no compensation? And you're going to hold me accountable?"

"How is this possible!"

"They... how can they do this? She clearly hit me and smashed my camera!"

"It's worth sixty thousand yuan! That's my private property! On what grounds will they not compensate me?"

"Could it be... could this silver-haired bitch's identity... actually be that high? To the point that even the police have to watch her face and openly turn black into white?"

Shameless!

Too shameless!

These police, wearing those skins but not doing human work!

They're in league with this bitch!

Officials protecting each other!

Bullying the common people!

After the police captain clarified his position and received Lei Jun's tacit approval, a heavy stone fell from his heart.

He turned to the wretched man, whose face was as pale as ash, and his expression turned stern.

"Given that you are suspected of secretly photographing others' privacy and using criminal tools, according to the relevant provisions of the 'Public Security Administration Punishment Law,' it is hereby decided to impose an administrative detention of fifteen days on you, along with a fine. I hope you will reflect deeply and receive education during this period."

Hearing the fifteen days of administrative detention, the wretched man felt as if he had been struck by lightning and instantly slumped to the ground.

"No... impossible!"

"I didn't take any secret photos; she's framing me!"

"You can't arrest me!"

His heart was filled with panic; the thought of staying in the detention center for fifteen days made him feel cold all over.

Fifteen days!

Detention!

A fine!

Not only was his camera gone and his money gone, but he was also going to lose his freedom and have a criminal record!

He was unwilling, yet powerless to argue, and could only watch helplessly as the police took out handcuffs and cuffed his hands.

The captain ignored the wretched man and turned to Lei Jun with a respectful smile: "Miss Lei, the matter has been handled. You've been startled. We will handle the follow-up matters according to the law; please feel free to go about your business."

Lei Jun turned her head and gave the police captain a slight nod as a token of thanks.

She was fairly satisfied with this result.

The police captain respectfully escorted Lei Jun all the way to the entrance of the convention, and only breathed a sigh of relief once he saw her car disappear from sight.

Then he immediately resumed his vigorous and resolute style, cuffed the soul-shattered wretched man, and took him back to the police station.

However, the matter did not end there.

During the subsequent interrogation, the police made an unexpected discovery.

Initially, it was just a routine inquiry regarding this secret photography incident, but the experienced Police Officers discovered even more serious crimes while checking his phone and cloud backups.

"Good grief, turns out he wasn't just doing it for self-gratification; he was actually using it to make a profit!"

The interrogating officers felt both angry and a hint of excitement at having caught a big fish.

They discovered that this wretched man had long been selling the photos and videos he secretly took to specific groups through hidden channels, making an illegal profit of tens of thousands of yuan.

This was no longer a simple public security case, but a suspected Crime of producing, selling, and disseminating obscene materials for profit; the nature was completely different!

As the interrogation deepened and electronic evidence was further unearthed, an even more despicable act came to light.

This person's other identity was actually a writer for an online platform, specializing in writing low-brow novels that skirted the edge of decency.

"What a 'talent'!"

"To think he could come up with this kind of linkage model?"

The Police Officers handling the case felt it was both absurd and disgusting.

They found that this person used his identity as a writer to establish reader groups and then openly announced rules within the groups.

Readers would leave positive reviews and give tips/gifts on his novel's page.

With a screenshot, they could claim 'benefits' from him in the group... which were those secretly taken private photos of women.

The more tips and positive reviews, the greater the quantity and explicitness of the photos they could receive.

He had disguisedly bundled illegal gains with online creation, forming a twisted grey industrial chain.

The subsequent sentencing... multiple crimes were punished together, and combined with the malicious social impact of his actions, the final judgment was reached.

For selling secretly taken photos for profit, constituting the Crime of producing, selling, and disseminating obscene materials for profit, he was sentenced to three years in prison.

For repeatedly secretly photographing others' privacy, constituting the Crime of infringing on citizens' personal information, he was sentenced to one year in prison.

Punishing multiple crimes together, it was decided to execute a prison sentence of three years and six months.

All illegal gains were also to be recovered.

The camera smashed by Lei Jun was confiscated as a tool for committing a crime according to the law, and compensation was no longer pursued.
