After enjoying the exquisite food, Gao Jin took out the phone number of Gao Xiangqi's attending physician in the magic capital, dialed it, and began to communicate with the doctor about Gao Xiangqi's condition; You Jinlan sat on the sofa opposite Gao Jin, boredly scrolling on her mobile phone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Tao Baihe went to her bedroom to rest after returning to the mansion, she had consumed so much energy in the hospital and the police station today that she felt that she had to sleep a "beauty sleep" to make up for the loss.

Minami Zeyu walked alone in the courtyard of the Locust Tree Valley. He had a lot of thoughts in his head, like the endless flow of traffic in a tunnel, and he could only sort it out by walking.

At 5 p.m. in winter, the sun is about to set in the west, radiating a light yellow glow like a veil, and the cold wind blows to make it look particularly delicate. Nan Zeyu stared at the "green wall" at the edge of the courtyard in the distance, a beautiful fence made of various green plants, and a strange peace of mind arose in his heart.

Although Nan Zeyu is only 36 years old, he has become a recognized "elite leader" in the magic capital police circle. Whether it is a conservative official or a young cadre full of innovative spirit, they almost all admit one thing, and that is that Nan Zeyu is very capable. Nan Zeyu is full of energy, knows people well, listens to the opinions of his subordinates, and treats his boss without being humble or arrogant.

Like many young and distinguished people, he had many political enemies, but also many supporters. Perhaps because his journey was too "smooth", the relevant departments received a lot of complaint letters about him. And he was able to climb to this position smoothly, naturally he had his means.

Nan Zeyu is usually very cautious, and his relationship with the Buren Society has always been hidden in the shadows of the light of day, except for his most confidant Bo Peng, no police officer knows the real reason for his special operation every time. "Arresting the kidnapper" is a good excuse, not to mention that Pennington, the hapless "kidnapper", is still kidnapping his daughter. Although in fact Pennington only shot and wounded Yue Shuluo, he did not touch a single hair of his daughter.

In this situation, it is really unusual for his daughter to be on the list of celebrities in the entertainment industry, but it will not affect his reputation. Nan Zeyu attributed all this to his usual cautious words and deeds, as well as his good reputation from the grassroots level. It never occurred to him that his "good fortune" might have been orchestrated by others.

When he is in a good mood, Nan Zeyu will look at his side waist in the mirror. On his flank, there are two conspicuous scars, left by bullets at close range. At that time, Nan Zeyu had just arrived in the magic capital, and he was in the "secondment" period, and when he participated in a case, he bravely rushed to the front, and finally was shot twice by drug dealers.

The drug dealer was killed on the spot, and Nan Zeyu stayed in the magic capital because of this, and was also "lifted dry" by the "line of fire". After that, his career went more and more smoothly. The branch of the Buren Society often provided him with information about some "opponents", and he used it to solve many big and important cases. Since then, his image of judging cases like a god and being brave has been laid.

Because of his dual identity, Nan Zeyu especially evaluated him in the accident world. Instead of being arrogant and frivolous, he paid more attention to detail, which helped him avoid two earthquakes in officialdom. He doesn't please the media, he doesn't show his head too much, and even if it is the annual public security system internal party, he only stays for a short time, so as not to make people mistakenly think that he likes to have fun.

The presence of Tao Fu once brought him great cover - a person who deals in amber, jade and other jewelry toys will always give people an impression of elegance. And Nan Zeyu, as an "orphan", treats Tao like his biological father, and it is also a good story in the Public Security Department. However, ironically, Minami Zeyu has few friends. From this point of view, his relationship with Wan Guohou is already very close.

When Nan Zeyu stopped under a tall heart-leaf linden tree, Wan Guohou happened to walk along the corridor not far behind him.

"Director South. Wan Guohou shouted in a slightly higher voice than usual, "You don't matter, do you?"

Nan Zeyu turned around, and the twilight light shone on his face. Although he was well-maintained, his face still showed signs of age against the light. His eyebrows were still distinct, but he had slight bags under his eyes, and a few faint crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes. The bridge of his nose is not as tall as that of Wan Guohou, but it can be regarded as upright and straight, but the bad habit of smoking all year round has caused a little discoloration in his people. Fortunately, his skin tone is relatively dark, and it is difficult to spot if you don't look closely. He was wearing a smoky gray suit, which had a good texture and workmanship, but because it was too new, it made him look a little awkward.

"Master Hou. Nan Zeyu's voice was full of cold and polite detachment, as if he was still in the interrogation room, "Thank you very much for your help to my father-in-law before. ”

Wan Guohou noticed that he was using an honorific title, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

But before he could speak, Nan Zeyu spoke again, "Although some unforeseen misfortunes happened after that, I still feel the need to thank you. After all, you have no obligation to help our Nan family. As he said this, his neck stretched forward, and his chest and waist straightened like a cold statue.

"Director South. The smile on Wan Guohou's face disappeared, "I thought we were friends. ”

The sadness and reproach contained in this sentence were so obvious that Nan Zeyu had to explain with a little embarrassment: "Of course we ...... It's a friend. ”

"So. Wan Guohou said coldly, "I can not accept your gratitude. He turned his face away and squinted into the sun, "My father died many years ago, so I envy the happy family that my parents are still alive with. Mr. Tao and Mrs. Nan have a deep father-daughter relationship, and I sincerely hope that bringing light to Mr. Tao will make them happier. After a pause, he continued, "Last year, before I met you, I had heard that you were not easily favored, and I was afraid that you would reject my kindness. When you and Mrs. Nan agreed to bring Mr. Tao to the United States for treatment, to be honest, I was flattered. ”

Nan Zeyu stared at Wan Guohou in surprise, but did not speak.

"Because I not only felt the recognition of the Nan family, but also experienced the joy of helping others, and this happiness is not comparable to drinking a bottle of expensive wine or beating a strong bear. ”

Nan Zeyu remembered the scene of Wan Guohou sacrificing his life to shoot in the forest, and he had to admit that it was not an easy thing to do, and not everyone could do it.

"But at the moment I was a little frustrated, because I realized that so-called friends are such fragile and fragile relationships. Wan Guohou said coldly, "Isn't it, Director Nan?"

Nan Zeyu suddenly felt a cramping pain in his stomach, as if he had been hit in the abdomen. He took a step forward with some embarrassment, and happened to stand opposite Wan Guohou, "Since you are friends, why did you disappear when Bai He and I went to the police station?"

"I'm on the phone. Wan Guohou said calmly, "Mobilize all connections to put pressure on the police, so that they can do their best to solve the case." ”

This answer was so powerful and unexpected that Nan Zeyu was suddenly speechless in shock.

"Thank you. Nan Zeyu was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "What happened today hit me and Bai He very hard, if I say anything inappropriate, please forgive me." ”

Wan Guohou laughed, "Director Nan doesn't need to say that he has to be like this. He touched the cufflinks, "Is there any progress on the police?"

Nan Zeyu sighed, "Forensic identification is myocardial infarction and sudden death." No suspicious fingerprints were found at the scene, and DNA results will be available tomorrow. The police told me that the case was closed without any abnormalities. ”

"What do you think?"

Nan Zeyu smiled bitterly, "Of course I believe in the ability of the New York police, but Bai He's side ......" He hesitated, "Master Hou, my wife's state may be very bad these days, if she turns around and says something terrible, I will apologize to you in advance." ”

"It doesn't matter. Wan Guohou waved his hand and said disapprerovitically, "Human nature." He gestured, "Let's go together?"

"Please. ”

The two walked side by side for a while, then walked through a door by the fence and into the woods behind the courtyard.

"Master Hou, I found that you like plants very much, and the crown is also so green. Nan Zeyu said.

"Yes, I like to live in a place close to nature. Wan Guohou's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of murderous aura, "Because I really don't like human society very much." ”

"Oh?" Nan Zeyu said stunned, "Can I ask why?"

"Because nature is often more civilized than human society, and it is reasonable. ”

This answer made Nan Zeyu couldn't help laughing, "Master Hou, it's the first time I've heard people say that humans are more barbaric than animals. ”

"That's not what I meant. Wan Guohou said quietly, "What I want to say is that although human society has established a high degree of civilization, there is no matching legal system. In fact, the law is nothing more than a minimum of morality and does not represent absolute justice. ”

Nan Zeyu blinked, "Master Hou, do you want to discuss law with me?"

"How dare I get an axe. Wan Guohou said mockingly, "I know that Director Nan is a master of law, and I just sighed." ”

"China's legal system is closer to the civil law system, do you know this, Master Hou?" said Nan Zeyu's familiar area, and his tone unconsciously revealed a trace of pride.

"Something I heard. ”

"There is a principle of public order and good morals in the civil law system. To put it simply, it is the principle of safeguarding national interests, social and public interests, and abiding by basic morals and customs. Nan Zeyu said eloquently, "From this point of view, the law seems to be 'kind'. But in reality, we should not demand and bind the law with pure morality, because it pursues fairness. ”

"But fairness is not necessarily justice. Wan Guohou said lightly.

"Yes. Nan Zeyu nodded, "The pursuit of absolute justice may lead to a tilt of the scales, so that absolute fairness cannot be guaranteed." And we all know that everyone is equal before the law. ”

"Hmph. Wan Guohou said disdainfully, "Theory on paper, of course, is easy to say. However, in real life, people's hearts are unpredictable, so how can it be possible to guarantee absolute equality for all people? Since there is no absolute equality, wouldn't it be worth the loss to give up the pursuit of absolute justice?"

Nan Zeyu looked at Wan Guohou in shock, "Master Hou, are you against the existence of the law?"

"No, I agree with the existence of the law, but I am against putting fairness above justice. Wan Guohou said, "Compared with this, I prefer to follow the principle of 'tooth for tooth, eye for eye' homomorphic revenge." At the very least, under this principle, the perpetrator will pay the price he deserves, and the victim will get inner comfort. ”

"But the cost of homomorphic revenge is too high. Nan Zeyu said disapprovingly, "Homomorphic revenge may be perfect for the victim, but it will bring bad social impact, and even lead to the trend of revenge becoming more and more intense." ”

"It sounds reasonable, but it's actually too biased. Wan Guohou stepped on a small branch of a tree, and suddenly there was a "click" sound under his feet, "If you don't take revenge, who will pay attention to the suffering of the victims? ”

"Then gather evidence and try to get the murderer to court. Nan Zeyu said without thinking.

Wan Guohou smiled, and a layer of mysterious water rippled in his light green eyes. "I hate the principle of legality, which is why I yearn for nature. The cub bears are taken by the leopards, and the angry mother bears will tear the cubs to pieces. Is it savage? Of course not, the she-bear just takes revenge as it deserves. But if you follow the human rules, who can comfort a mother bear who has lost her child?"

"But maybe the leopard takes the bear just to nurse the cubs. Nan Zeyu thought for a while and said, "Moreover, isn't this the law of the jungle?"

"Yes, definitely. In the same way, revenge is the same. Wan Guohou smiled happily, revealing two rows of flawless teeth.

"Master Hou, if I say something not very polite, if our legal workers all look at the problem like you, then I am afraid that the world will be in chaos. Nan Zeyu also smiled, "The formulation of the law has gone through a long process of evolution, and in the process, people have gradually discovered that homomorphic revenge is difficult to grasp the scale, and excessive revenge will do more harm than good." I have always believed that the best way to curb crime is education, not punishment. ”

"What does Minister Nan mean is that modern society is not suitable for revenge because the victim's IQ is not good enough to grasp the scale of revenge?"

By this time, the two had already walked to the side of a small stream. Nan Zeyu looked at the gurgling water, and said with some puzzlement: "Master Hou, I'm curious, why are you so obsessed with talking about revenge?"
