Chapter 310: On the Spirit of the Law

Conan, Gray Plains, and Maoriran all showed their attitudes.

The problem was thrown back to Lin Xinyi's side.

And the difficulty is still doubled.

If the method of dish cooking is adopted, 3 votes to 1 vote, Lin Xinyi now only has the "freedom" to be boiled by the other three dishes.

He should agree with this opinion, which has been approved by the three of them, and even most people with a sense of morality and justice, will instinctively agree.

That is to connive at Mr. Yonehara to continue to commit crimes.

Let her complete her plan.

Kill Shimoda and avenge Minako.

These bystanders will not have anything to lose, but can happily witness the loss of a single scum in society.

This is the common opinion of Conan, Gray Plains, and Maoriran.

But Lin Xinyi shook his head.

"I don't see it that way."

He is like a king who still insists on retreating after losing the election, even if the other party has more votes, he still insists on his own opinion.

"Because I'm a police officer."

Lin Xinyi said in a calm tone.

"Police?"

The first to refute was Mao Lilan, who has always been submissive and has a weak attitude.

Instinctively, she asked, "Shouldn't the most important thing for the police be to uphold justice?" โ€

"We're going to stop Yonehara-sensei now, is it just or unjust?"

The problem of Maoliland is extremely sharp.

Lin Xinyi replied naturally:

"Don't forget that the police are law enforcers, and they pay attention to the law that must be followed, strictly enforced, and violated."

"And the law is, in essence, a tool for the ruling hierarchy, serving the ruling hierarchy and embodying the will of the ruling hierarchy."

"From this point of view, the law is not to uphold justice, but to maintain order."

"If we condone such 'legitimate revenge' and 'honorable murder', it will seriously affect social order."

"The legal framework will be lost, and society will be in turmoil."

"......" was silent for a while.

Hearing this naked analysis of the nature of the law, the gazes of Conan, Gray Plains, and Mao Lilan all became extremely strange when they looked at him.

The look in his eyes was as if asking:

Have you read any strange books again?

"Ahem..."Lin Xinyi reflected in time.

Such a cold theoretical analysis of his own obviously has no convincing power for the hot-blooded Mao Lilan and others.

So, he simply changed to an absurd and exaggerated statement:

"Think about it, if revenge is not guilty, condone revenge..."

"Today A kills B, tomorrow B's family kills A, A's family kills B's family, B's family kills B's family again..."

"There is infinite scarcity of children and grandchildren, and the corpses can be piled up into a Wangwu Mountain."

"Is this really good for society?"

Lin Xinyi asked so seductively.

However, Mao Lilan did not debate with him on the big debate of the rule of law and the rule of man, but pulled the question back to the core of the problem in one sentence:

"But, what about Minako's death?"

"We stopped Yonehara-sensei, and who can punish that murderer for her?"

Under Lin Xinyi's questioning, Mao Lilan's attitude became firm.

I was looked at by her big watery eyes...

Against the backdrop, the tall, handsome and awe-inspiring Lin Xinyi seems to have become a ruthless court eagle dog and a ruthless Xichang eunuch.

"That's why I don't want to be a police officer..."

"The police are bound by rules and regulations, and sometimes they have to do what is right but not right."

Conan shook his big head beside him, sighing helplessly.

It's as if he doesn't want to be a police officer, and it's really because of these reasons.

It's not because he's afraid that he'll have to knock on the door and shout a report when he enters the office in Maolilan in the future, and he will have to stand up and call the chief when he sees his wife in front of people.

Lin Xinyi didn't know Conan's inner little ninety-nine.

He just said very seriously:

"The 'rules and regulations' that you don't look down on are very necessary!"

"If the police don't follow these rules and don't act according to the law, the results will be terrible!"

Lin Xinyi's face sank.

He was answering questions from both Maolilan and Conan:

"According to the law, in order to prove that a person is a murderer, there must be evidence."

"What kind of disaster would it be if the police didn't follow such rules and regulations and arbitrarily tried people based on their own subjective opinions?"

"Lin, don't exaggerate the plot and change the concept." Conan subconsciously retorted: "We are talking about Minako's case now, not about the conflict between legal principles and human feelings. โ€

"I'm talking about Minako's case."

Lin Xinyi paused slightly, and his tone became more and more serious:

He asked rhetorically:

"Conan, Miss Mori, how can you be sure that Shimoda-sensei is the murderer of Minako?"

"This...."Conan and Maolilan's expressions suddenly froze:

Oh, yes... This is a case from three years ago.

Because of the negligence of the investigators back then, they have no way to find evidence to prove that Shimoda-sensei is the murderer.

"You've just analysed it:"

"Before Shimoda-sensei himself was scared and lost, Yonehara-sensei himself didn't even know who the second target was."

"In other words, she also has no evidence that Shimoda-sensei is the murderer who participated in Minako's murder."

"She should only vaguely know that Minako's death is related to an event."

"And this incident has something to do with Mr. Sugiyama and Mr. Shimoda."

"But that doesn't prove that Shimoda-sensei himself was involved in the killing of Minako, does it?"

Lin Xinyi's voice was still calm, but his words became more and more heavy.

Both Conan and Maoriran could no longer speak.

They're struggling:

"However, Shimoda-sensei's weak-hearted performance at that time illustrates..."

"He must have something to do with Minako's death."

Conan couldn't find any evidence, so he could only rely on his intuition to convict Shimoda-sensei.

"It's just about that."

"That doesn't prove that he was involved in the killing."

Lin Xinyi asked-for-tat:

"For example, the killing of Minako was actually done by Sugiyama-sensei alone."

"Mr. Shimoda only found out about this afterwards, but Mr. Sugiyama was holding some important handle, so he didn't dare to speak out."

"And because of the guilt in his heart, he is very sensitive to Minako's death."

"That's why, after suddenly hearing Minako's name, he was so scared."

"That explanation makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"

"Thisโ€”" Conan was speechless for a moment.

But Lin Xinyi continued to say all the time:

"Maybe you still think that even so, Shimoda, who helped Sugiyama-sensei hide the truth and let the murderer get away with it, still can't be forgiven, and he still deserves to die."

"But what if you change the story?"

"Assuming that Shimoda-sensei is not only not the murderer, but also fiercely opposes Sugiyama-sensei's murder, and even fights with Sugiyama-sensei in order to protect Minako."

"It's just that he didn't succeed in saving Minako, and Minako still died at the hands of Sugiyama-sensei."

"After the incident, the vicious Sugiyama and the criminal gang that may exist behind it not only used the handle to blackmail Mr. Shimoda, but even threatened him to shut up with the safety of Mr. Tian's family."

"He didn't dare to expose the murderer, and he was tortured for it."

"That's why when he heard Minako's name, he reacted so much."

Without evidence, the truth could be anything it could be.

And a different way of telling a story can change people's perceptions.

"When you hear this story, do you think that Shimoda-sensei shouldn't die at all?"

"If this is the case, and you still condone the murderer to kill him, then is this justice?"

Lin Xin asked word by word.

Conan and Maorilan could no longer speak.

They finally realized that they had been forgotten under the blood, and that they should have a rational judgment of the truth.

"That's why I said a long time agoโ€”"

"Forensic medicine can never be preconceived."

"We have to look at the evidence, we have to obey the law, we can't listen to stories."

"Stories are ever-changing, and only evidence is the only truth."

"If you rely solely on subjective feelings to draw conclusions, as an individual, you can not only enforce the law as a police officer, but also try for the court, and even execute on behalf of the bailiff."

"Then the result can only be to satisfy ourselves, not justice."

Lin Xinyi's attitude became more and more firm:

"So, if there is no evidence that Shimoda-sensei is the murderer."

"Then he is not a murderer, and he does not deserve to die."

He made the final decision, causing Conan and Maorilan to fall deeper and deeper into thought.

And Mao Lilan was stunned for a long time, but then asked:

"The case three years ago was covered up because of the fault of the Metropolitan Police Department."

"That's... Then if Shimoda is really the murderer, we have no evidence now, and we have to protect him..."

"That's all there is to it."

Lin Xinyi sighed deeply:

It is better to let the murderer go than to wronged a person.

History has given the answer to the question of what kind of evil will happen if we do not follow such a spirit of the rule of law.

"But it's not impossible for us now..."

"Verify that Mr. Shimoda is not a murderer."

Lin Xin turned his words around and raised the document in his hand.

"There's a clue in the file?" Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Sort of..."

"The forensic guys aren't useful, but at least, they've taken enough photos."

"There's a lot of something interesting in those photos."

"It's just that just with these live photos..."Lin Xinyi sighed deeply: "If you want to find out the truth, there is still very little hope." โ€

"I can only give it a try."

"If we're lucky, we might be able to make up for the mistakes we made three years ago."

"Then let's try!" Mao Lilan was the first to agree with Lin Xinyi's idea.

She was already extremely uneasy about conniving at murder.

Now seeing that Lin Shinichi seems to have the possibility of seeking justice for Minako through legitimate channels, she immediately agreed.

As soon as Maolilan said something, Conan didn't say anything more.

As for the gray plain mourning.

She unconditionally supported Lin Xinyi's decision.

"Let's go, before the tragedy happens..."

"Let's talk to that Shimoda-sensei."

As soon as Lin Xin said this, he took Conan and the others into the villa, trying to find the truth.

At this time, Miss Gray Yuan gently grabbed the corner of his clothes and signaled to whisper to him.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xinyi slowed down and asked in a low voice to Gray Yuan.

"Lin, that muscular girl and the big-headed detective seem to be dizzy by you."

Gray Yuan Wai showed a chuckle that saw through everything:

"They don't realize that you're not answering the question from start to finish:"

"If Shimoda-sensei is the murderer, and we can't get him punished through legal means."

"Then from your personal point of view, will you still stop Yonehara-sensei's revenge?"

She looked up at Lin Xinyi.

Those blue pupils looked unusually sharp.

"I..." Lin Xinyi was slightly stunned.

He smiled helplessly, but in the end, he met the inquiring gaze of Gray Yuan Wai and replied formally:

Actually, I answered positively: "

"I'm a police officer, and I have to follow the law."

"There shouldn't be my 'personal' perspective here, I can only be a law enforcement machine, and everything starts from the law."

"......." Gray Yuan was silent for a moment, "You are really terrifyingly rational. โ€

"When you say that, you're colder than I am."

"No way..."Lin Xinyi sighed deeply: "If you are not rational, your judgment will be biased." โ€

"And my work, there can't be any deviations."

"Thatโ€”" Gray Yuan thought of something.

She raised her head and asked with some curiosity:

"What if the little girl who was killed was me?"

"What will you do, wait for the judgment of the law?"

"I'll kill his whole family." Lin Xinyi blurted out.

He just imagined a little bit of Gray Yuan's words, imagining that the little girl who was hanged would be her, and this answer subconsciously popped up in his mind.

Gray Plains: "......."

"Ahem..."Lin Xinyi's old face flushed slightly: "The whole family has killed a little too much..."

"The murderer's family is also innocent and should not be implicated."

"Let's break him into pieces."

"It just so happens that I'm good at this, and if I handle it well, I guess I can kill a group of peers."

Gray Plains: "......."

She looked at Lin Xinyi, her gaze was a little subtle:

What about those who say they want to do things according to the law? How did you become a criminal in an instant?!

"Because if you're victimized, it's not a public business."

Lin Xinyi calmed down a little, and said in a calm tone:

"I'm not a law enforcer."

"Rather, your..."

He paused slightly.

After looking nervously around to make sure that the next side would not suddenly appear to Miss Yuanzi who could make him socially die.

Lin Xinyi finally wanted to say that word.

"I see."

Gray Yuan Wai smiled slightly.

She didn't have to listen to it, and she knew that she had gotten the answer she wanted most.
