That's it?

The mule's heart was relieved, he originally thought that the other party would come up with a twists and turns, complicated and complicated case, but he didn't expect it to be far simpler than he imagined.

Of course guilty -

As soon as the mule's mouth opened, the witch floating behind him shouted, "Wait! ”

The action of the mule's mouth opening froze instantly, and the relaxed mind tensed,

It was only then that the intelligence brokers noticed,

The bee man sitting in front of him adjusted his sitting posture imperceptibly,

Its fluffy orange-yellow bee head, the angle of its facial features also seems to change,

It's like putting on a pose... A serious expression?

Although, judging from the bee's face, the word "serious" sounds a little unrealistic....

"In this script mission, you play the role of a professional lawyer."

The witch said in a deep voice: "If the arguments, arguments, and arguments given are too simple and crude,

Most likely, it will not pass Bonaparte's test,

and even doubted the authenticity of the identity. ”

"That's right."

The black Trojan horse nodded: "Bonaparte read all kinds of books, including mathematics, philosophy, geography, history, etc.,

The promulgation of the Napoleonic Code laid the foundation for the social order of the Western capitalist countries,

The ability to think critically is definitely not bad,

Rushing to answer the question will only make you appear full of loopholes. ”

“...”

The mule's mind was in a hurry, he understood that the strategy team was right, but how did he have to speak in order to pass the other party's test?

As if to take the mule's hesitation into thoughtfulness, the bee man nodded approvingly and continued to add details to the case.

For example, during the search and rescue process, the mountain collapsed several times, one of which claimed the lives of 10 rescuers.

During the rescue process, the Spelunkering Society's funds were quickly exhausted, and public donations and statutory grants were used to support the rescue efforts.

Witmore, a spelunker, first suggested that maybe one of the members could be eaten, otherwise it would be impossible for the others to survive,

It was also he who proposed the lot, and claimed to have brought a deck of dice.

The other four were initially reluctant to respond to the offer, but after Witmore used the wireless device to engage in a conversation with the outside world,

They agreed to the proposal and repeatedly discussed the math to ensure the fairness of the draw, eventually agreeing to use the method of rolling dice to decide life and death.

However, before the dice were rolled, Witmore, the proposer of the draw, announced that he had withdrawn the agreement,

He believed that he should have waited a week before committing this horrific act, and when it was his turn, one of the members cast the dice for him and asked Witmore to take a position on whether or not he agreed with the fairness of the dice.

The latter had no objection, but because the dice turned out to be unfavorable to him, he was eventually murdered and eaten by the other members.

"Whew..."

The mule breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he revisited the whole case and thought deeply, he realized how amazing the complexity of this case was.

It is absolutely impossible to make a simple judgment from a single point of view, such as an individual's moral aesthetics.

"I..."

The mule was about to speak, but was interrupted by the bee man, "Mr. Kevin, you used to be a district attorney, and then you changed careers to become a lawyer, and you have a wealth of experience.

But in this case, I didn't just ask for advice from a prosecutor or lawyer.

I need you, as the agent of power, to give judgment. ”

"Agents of power?"

"Yes."

The bee man interlocked his fingers and put his hands on his upturned left thigh, "Hades is an important cornerstone for the normal functioning of this world,

A Council of Thirteen presided over by five Dinosaur Maharajas,

He is responsible for inducing the souls of the present world, washing their memories, judging their crimes, and then reclassifying the souls into the present world.

If Hades were to shut down, then there would be a lack of creature souls in this world, and it would be desolate and dead.

At the same time, the negative emotions accumulated in this world will also be reflected in the underworld.

If the living beings of this world are hopeless, passive, depraved and numb,

Hades will also become desolate and depressed.

The two worlds interfere with each other, influence each other,

The Council of Thirteen, on the other hand, is responsible for maintaining the healthy operation of this important machine.

We need to judge the souls of this world, to cleanse them from their sins, and to restore the health of the defiled souls.

In this way, we will promote the present world, become positive, and maintain the balance between the two worlds.

Note that the judgment here is not just against a certain person or species.

Instead, it stands at the very high angle of the two worlds and carries out macro-control of hundreds of millions of living beings. ”

The bee man waved his hand and said slowly in a solemn tone: "We are judges, and we are also the lawmakers, enforcers, implementers, and even the agents of the supreme authority of the two realms.

We are responsible for the five dinosaur maharajas, and we are also responsible for hundreds of millions of living beings.

I hope you can stand in our perspective, think about morality, law, fairness and justice at the same time, and look at this case from a micro level. ”

“...”

The mule pursed his lips, and he finally realized the difficulty of the mission.

If you look at things from different angles and heights, you will come to different conclusions.

With an ordinary person's mind, will, perseverance, and ability, it is difficult to transcend one's own limitations and evaluate and judge things both macrocosmpicly and microcosmically.

What's more, he's not a lawyer yet, and he's not even a lawyer...

"It's complicated..."

The black Trojan licked his lips, and the tips of his fingers tingled slightly.

In the sight of this code farmer, all the legal provisions that have been queried floated,

But these provisions do not seem to be of much help.

The forest cat frowned, and said in distress: "Macro and micro... No wonder Napoleon turned into a bee, thinking about this kind of problem all day, and sooner or later he would go crazy. ”

"Don't talk about those useless ones,"

The witch, the youngest junior high school student, shook her head and thought, "Since you want to stand on a higher angle,

Naturally, it is necessary to abandon the perspective of the five major legal systems, including the European civil law system, the common law system, the Indian law system, and the Oriental law system.

There is no need to worry about a specific legal provision.

Tsk, what a hassle..."

Seeing the somewhat confused expression on the forest cat's face, the witch casually explained: "The five major legal systems in the world are the five legal systems that jurists have divided according to the basic characteristics of the laws of various countries in the world.

The common law system, which applies to Great Britain and the United States, is characterized by the fact that past cases are one of the main bases on which judges make decisions, with the jury responsible for determining questions of fact based on the evidence and the judge making judgments.

The European continental law system is applicable to France and Germany, and the main basis for judgment is the legal text, and there is no jury system, and the judge decides whether there is guilt and the degree of punishment.

If this case were to be based on continental law, it would have been easy for us to decide on a specific legal provision.

Naturally, there is no need to be so troublesome. ”

"It's better to be,"

Leon stopped fighting against the bookshelf, turned around, and said lightly to his companion, "First ask the bees, is there a universal code in the underworld?" ”

"Yes,"

The witch nodded and agreed, "In front of a mythical species that can destroy you with a single look, it's best to test his original attitude first."

It doesn't hurt to ask. ”

After receiving the advice of the strategy team, the mule pretended to end thinking and asked Li Ang's question seriously.

"Do you say the Dictionary?"

Bee nodded, "Hades has a codex,

Compiled for the five dinosaur armies of 2,000 years ago.

But the code of law is for all living beings, and it is very vague.

Basically, 'those who maliciously harm other living beings for the purpose of pleasure and produce negative emotions without satisfying the needs of survival need to be judged.' ’

With the expansion of the human race, the rapid change of society, and the increasing influence of human beings on the natural world, the negative emotions generated by seven billion human beings are becoming more and more serious.

Some of the codes are no longer applicable. ”

The bee picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the liquid in the glass with a chewing mouthpiece, and said lightly: "I'll talk about the Codex later, for now, I want to hear your answer." ”

“...”

The mule was silent for a moment, and the fingertips of the tap on the table clearly conveyed to his companions, 'Help me,' to his companions.

Li Ang stared at his companions for a while, and found that several people were still thinking, so he said, "Why don't you say that..."

He calmly stated,

After a brief moment of silence, the mule took a deep breath and repeated Leon's words word for word.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bee, as an ordinary person, I am still limited by my own knowledge structure, intelligence level and past experience, and I can't give an accurate and objective conclusion.

You can only give a reply within your own ability. ”

The mule paused, imitated Li Ang, and said slowly in a calm tone: "This event itself has countless angles to analyze,

Judging from the simplest moral and legal principles of murder for life, the four members of the expedition who murdered and ate their companions deserved to be sentenced to death.

It is also essential for Hades to respect the letter of the law, to enforce the law according to strict standards, and to reduce the human factor.

It can greatly improve the efficiency of law enforcement and reduce time and labor costs. ”

The bee man didn't say anything, just adjusted his sitting posture slightly.

The mule glanced at him and continued, "Of course, this sentence process is too simple and crude,

What is the cornerstone of the law?

Laws made by civilized human beings are based on the possibility of human coexistence.

The fundamental purpose of all the laws of the world is to promote and improve the state of coexistence of human beings and to regulate justice and equality in relations between them in a state of coexistence.

If the basis on which people can coexist does not exist, for example, in the case of killing each other to survive, then the foundation of the existence of the law is gone, and the law itself loses its meaning.

In this case, the five trapped people were isolated and could not wait for the rescue team.

In this scenario, they are actually in a 'primitive environment without law', unregulated, unable to enjoy the benefits of the social contract of law, and acting out of the human instinct of survival.

In the same way, they should not be judged ex post facto by civilized society. ”

Bee shook her head, "Attorney Kevin, these two points of view seem to contradict each other. ”

"That's right."

The mule nodded in the same way as Leon, "The same incident can draw two completely different points of view from different angles.

Is there anything wrong with respecting the letter of the law? No.

Is it wrong to respect the spirit of legislation based on human coexistence? Nor did it.

However, in the complex real world, there is no such thing as simple right and wrong, or in other words, the act of simply and rudely evaluating right and wrong is itself a manifestation of irresponsibility, and it is the initiative to abandon rational thinking, which is the most important tool for human beings. ”

The mule pretended to sigh deeply, "The basis of the law is public consent,

In the real world without extraordinary abilities, the forces that maintain human social relations and order are not guns and weapons, bank deposits, access to information, knowledge level, and social status.

It's about the recognition between people.

This is an extremely abstract concept, with public recognition, there is money, there is a country, there is civilization, and even the identity of re-election comes from public recognition -

If the people admit it, then the beggar is the king, and if the people veto, the king can become a beggar in an instant.

In this case, the majority of the public understands and sympathizes with the plight of the four expedition members, and public opinion shows that more than nine adults support the expedition team members to be acquitted or sentenced to symbolic punishment.

From the perspective that the law must demonstrate public morality and guide morality, these four people should be acquitted. ”

Hearing this, the bee couldn't help but shake his head, "The laws made by civilization should indeed serve the vast majority of the people.

But the expression of the will of the people, that is, public opinion, does not do much good in enforcing the law.

Public opinion is based on existing evidence, is emotional, can be artificially steered, and can change at any time,

The day before, public opinion shouted a tsunami demanding the release of the suspect,

The next day, as new evidence emerged, public opinion demanded the immediate execution of the suspects.

Assuming that during the investigation, all the evidence can be clearly found and the original appearance of the case can be restored, and it is assumed that the public can think rationally and deliberately.

Then there is nothing wrong with judging according to the will of the people.

However, in the actual investigation process, there are too many factors to interfere, and it is impossible to perfectly restore the original appearance of the case.

Therefore, it is not advisable for public opinion to directly interfere in the ruling, and the correct approach is to let public opinion promote the improvement of the law. ”

"Oh?"

Leon's heart moved, and he instantly discovered the problem in the bee's words,

The guide mule asked, "Even Hades, can't restore the original appearance of the case?" I thought that Hades would have some kind of prop that would perfectly reproduce the life of the soul. ”

"Your mind is fast."

The bee opened its mouthparts and made a "smile" expression, "Hades has this kind of prop, yes,

But this raises the question of whether the public will should be confined to human beings.

We'll talk about that later.

You don't let go of it. ”

"Okay."

The mule also laughed: "If we start from the perspective of utilitarianism, which is despicable but actually exists, the law wants everyone to live,

If conditions do not permit, the lives of the majority of the people should be guaranteed to be protected – and the four are not guilty.

From a pragmatic point of view, the four expedition members in this case could have waited until someone starved to death before eating the corpse, or they could have eaten their own body first, such as the toes and other non-critical parts.

They still have the strength to kill, which means that they are not in a desperate dilemma, and they do not meet the requirements of the emergency evacuation law - the four are guilty.

From a moral point of view, the law is the revealed morality, the morality is the hidden law, and the law-makers and law-enforcers are themselves human beings, and they are likely to make the same choices as the expedition members in this predicament—if they can't do it themselves, they can't demand others to do it, and the four of them are not guilty.

From the perspective of upholding the dignity of the law, severe punishment of criminal behavior can deter potential offenders, and thus maintain social order, if those with sinister intentions deliberately create a similar cave dilemma, laissez-faire behavior may lead to larger-scale crime - the four people are guilty of their actions..."

"Wait!"

The bee interrupted the mule's words, and he leaned forward and asked with unprecedented seriousness, "Mr. Kevin, you can cite countless opinions around this case,

But I'd like to hear your own opinion. ”

"Me?"

Li Ang lowered his head and pondered, thinking about how to speak, in order to fit the character of Kevin's lawyer.

After a long time, he raised his head and said thoughtfully: "Human beings will always have limitations, and they will never be able to look at problems beyond themselves, their environment, their times, and other factors.

Because of this limitation that exists forever,

An excellent legal worker must not be able to achieve the perfect balance of morality, fairness and justice.

The only way to do this is to give some of the responsibility to someone else.

its external manifestation,

It is that some legal people become mechanical, numb and indifferent - that is, the so-called more law is learned, and they will gradually lose their humanity.

Even, some unscrupulous and ignorant legal people will be arrogant and arrogant, boast of being superior, and detached from the morality of the masses.

And take pride in being divorced from the morality of the masses.

Personally, I am not in a position to give a perfect verdict. ”

"Is that the answer you gave after an in-depth analysis?"

Bee nodded noncommittally, "So,

What if we could empower you with a perspective and ability beyond human beings? ”
