"Why do you remember me here?" Yechen handed over a glass of juice and said, "This is just squeezed, using freshly picked green apples, let's taste it." ”

Chen Fan took the juice, put it on the coffee table, and said solemnly: "Chen, I came this time because I want to talk to you about something." ”

Yechen said with a smile: "If you have something, just say it, do you need it?" We have been good friends for more than ten years, and there is nothing we can't say directly. ”

Chen Fan said: "Okay, since you said so, I will ask directly, did you do it?" ”

Yechen asked, "What's the matter?" How can I guess if there is no beginning or tail? ”

Chen Fan said impatiently: "Don't pretend, what don't you know?" In the previous disappearances, was it you? ”

Yechen said a little angrily and funny: "What's wrong with you today, how can you suspect me?" The pressure is too much these days, and the brain is burned out? ”

Chen Fan ignored Ye Chen's ridicule and said indifferently: "Because I saw it." ”

The smile on Yechen's face did not decrease, and he said, "What do you see?" ”

Chen Fan said: "I saw you walk into that small alley, and then ...... That girl, that is, Liu Hailin, is gone. ”

Yechen didn't speak, brought himself a glass of water, and said, "What's the matter?" Isn't it? Obviously, Chen Fan came to find trouble this time, and Yechen's tone was no longer enthusiastic just now.

"Really?!" Chen Fan's face turned pale, and after a while, he said bitterly: "Yes, Chen, you know, kill!" Person! Repay! Life! ”

"Murder pays for life?" A slight smile appeared on the corner of Yechen's mouth, and he said, "This is not like what a detective should say, don't you emphasize emphasizing evidence and ignoring confessions?" Even if I killed him, there is no way to convict him without tangible evidence. ”

Chen Fan's face turned red, and he said with some annoyance: "Don't worry about this, you have blasphemed the law, and you are not qualified to say this." ”

"I'm not eligible?" Yechen pulled over a chair, sat on it, and said, "Okay, tell me what the law is for?" ”

Chen Fan said: "Of course, it is used to uphold justice and punish evil. ”

Yechen said, "Do you really think so? Well, let me ask you again, what is justice and what is evil? ”

Chen Fan said: "Justice and evil have their own justice. ”

Yechen said: "Public opinion? Who is the 'male' and how is 'theorizing'? ”

Chen Fan did not speak.

Yechen smiled and said, "Fan, you don't want me to pretend, aren't you pretending yourself?" We've known each other for more than ten years, aren't we still unclear about each other's personalities? You're not the kind of pedantic person, you know what real life is like, and you won't return everything you learned in those years to the teacher, right? ”

Chen Fan opened his mouth and said: "Law is a product of the state, which refers to the basic laws and ordinary laws promulgated by the ruling class after a certain legislative process in order to achieve the goal of ruling and managing the country. It's something from a textbook, don't you know? ”

Yechen said: "Of course I know this, and I also know that the concepts of justice and fairness are man-made, aimed at each individual, and for the whole society, it is the rules of nature that need to be observed, not the so-called artificial concepts. The law is not for any justice, but for maintaining the stability of a country, which is the most fundamental purpose of the law. Now you tell me, why do you police spend a lot of social resources to hunt down a murderer, even if it is an accidental murder and then escape? People are already dead, who else can have a direct relationship with them, except for a few relatives and friends, why use the power of the whole society (the maintenance of the police system requires a lot of social resources, which is borne by the whole society. To settle these personal grievances? ”

Chen Fan said: "Because if you don't pursue it, it will cause great social panic, a society where everyone is at risk and has no sense of security will not be stable, and an unstable society is extremely unfavorable to all members of society, so they are willing to pay taxes to maintain the operation of the police system, and they will also choose to cede some freedoms and rights to cooperate with the police investigation, which is also the cornerstone of the existence of our city-state." ”

Yechen said: "Okay, it's good that you understand, since that's the case, you also know why our Enslar city-state should focus on evidence and ignore confessions, right?" Compared with objective and practical evidence, confessions, including some testimony are quite vague, it is not that they are deliberately lying, people are not repeaters after all, the description of a thing will always be affected by subjective factors, which has been verified by a large number of experiments, it is not wise to judge the case by confession, you said that you saw me walk into that alley, in case you are wrong, that incident happened in the middle of the night, there are only faint old-fashioned street lamps nearby, how accurate is your judgment under this light condition?

"Because of this, in the case of heavy confessions, it is very easy to have unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, the law is to maintain social stability, the basis of social stability is the stability of the people's hearts, the stability of the people's hearts depends on the sense of security, the law is not at all for the so-called justice, but to maintain the sense of security in people's hearts, you also know that the impact of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases on people's inner sense of security is very great, in this case, you convict me just by relying on a testimony is a betrayal of the law. Isn't it your duty to uphold the dignity of the law, and do you want to trample on the essence of the law just because of a moment of confusion? ”

Chen Fan took a sip of the juice in front of him, and said after a while: "You are right, the law is to make everyone feel safe, and only when safety is guaranteed can we talk about other things, in other words, the implementation of the law must fully take into account the will of the whole society, or the vast majority of members." The disappearances have caused a great deal of panic, and many residents of this city have clearly felt that their sense of security has been violated, and they have turned their fear into anger and inflicted it on us, so solving the case as soon as possible has become a top priority. Chen, you're so smart, you know what that means, right? ”

Yechen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "You need a substitute ghost to appease the anger of the inhabitants against your incompetence. ”

Chen Fan said: "According to you, you can't be convicted without evidence, so there's nothing wrong with what you said, but are you really acting for the dead ghost, and whether you did those things or not, you know it in your heart, and I know it in my heart." The law is for the sake of maintaining stability, so isn't what I'm doing now practicing the essence of the law? ”

Yechen said: "Very good, your choice is not the worst, this can not only give an explanation to the people and your boss, but also arrest the real 'murderer' in your eyes, now the question is, do the residents of this city agree with you, then, do you think they will think what you said is right?" ”

Yechen sneered and said, "The reason why our city-state chooses to rule by law, rather than choose to rule by man like other city-states, do you know why?" ”

Chen Fan said: "I know because the citizens of our city-state do not believe in the justice of a certain person, even if he is right. ”

Yechen said: "Because people will become, and the justice maintained by a certain person is unreliable, and the citizens of the city-state will not surrender their rights and interests to the state to a person who will change, they will give up the laws that they voted on. Only the citizens' assembly has the right to judge the rights and wrongs of the law, and you, as an enforcer, are not qualified to do so, and in the same way, you, as the enforcer of the law, can only use force in your hands to do what the law has set out in the law. Now, I tell you unequivocally that your arrest of me without evidence is a betrayal of the law, and you have transgressed! Doing something you shouldn't have done can cost you a lot of money. ”

Chen Fan said: "I know, I know all this, but I also know that you can't go on like this, those people are innocent." Chen, you are very smart, your perfect murder cleverly bypassed the law, we can't arrest you without any evidence, but we can't let innocent people continue to be harmed, for this, I am willing to pay the price. ”

Yechen said: "The price, what the price? ”

Chen Fan didn't speak, just took out the matching gun and put it on the coffee table.

Ye Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, and said, "You're going to kill me!?" ”
