Li Wei and other officers found the key to the gate of Mr. Han's courtyard and opened the gate. Mr. Han and his family already went to sleep. The officers claimed that they were from the Liujianfang Police Station to verify the residential certificates of everyone. As soon as the door was opened, they forced their way in. The officers dragged Mr. Han out of bed, handcuffed him, and took him away without letting him put on a jacket or shoes. His wife and daughter tried to reason with the officers. The officers pushed them around and threatened to arrest the daughter.

The police took Mr. Han to the Liaozhong County Police Department. Mr. Han's family went there immediately to ask for the release. The police department gate was closed. No one was allowed in. Despite the family's repeated requests, the guard insisted that they had orders that no one was to be admitted at night. Eventually they got in when the gate was opened for a police vehicle, which they discreetly followed in. The staff scolded them severely but accepted the clothes and shoes they brought for Mr. Han.
