Chen Qi was utterly dumbfounded.
The crime of illegal detention primarily involved infringing upon a person's liberty—the right to control one's bodily movements without illegal interference. Apart from relevant judicial authorities, no one was permitted to detain another person. This "detention" didn't literally mean capturing and imprisoning someone; as long as the right to liberty was infringed, it could constitute illegal detention. For instance, blocking a door to objectively prevent someone from leaving constituted illegal detention. The requirements for filing a case of illegal detention were also quite clear: if any of the corresponding conditions were met, the case would be accepted.
