The words "be lenient in confession and strict in resistance" were like a thunderclap, and the four people present were stunned on the spot.

Once again, the world shattered like broken glass, and the world changed dramatically once again.

"Don't pretend, you're not a mentally ill person, confess leniently, resist strictly, and bring in the truth one by one the cases you have committed!" In the smoky interrogation room, in the face of the dazzling glare of the "high beam dog", Zuo Zhe's tears could not stop flowing.

It's not that Zuo Zhe repented of his sins, nor that the grievances in his heart were too great, and the reason why Zuo Zhe couldn't stop crying was the choking smell of smoke in the room.

The strong light made Zuo Zhe unable to see the person sitting opposite, and the strong smell of smoke even choked Zuo Zhe to open his eyes, and his hands and feet were leaned against the sturdy interrogation chair, and Zuo Zhe couldn't use his strength even if he had the strength.

"What did I do?" Zuo Zhe asked puzzled.

"The murder weapon at the scene of the Ruijia murder case in Xiaozhuang Village has your fingerprints on it, and you still want to deny it?!" In the scolding sound as severe as the cold winter wind, Zuo Zhe tried to recall what the other party said about the murder case. However, no matter how hard Zuo Zhe tried to recall, he could never recall any information related to it. Not only that, Zuo Zhe even forgot his previous memories. In addition to knowing that his name is "Zuo Zhe", Zuo Zhe actually forgot everything else.

"Why? Why do I have amnesia? Squinting his tearful eyes, Zuo Zhe hung his head and didn't say a word, just thinking hard.

The handcuffs and shackles on the interrogation chair restrained Zuo Zhe to the chair, and he had no ability to move at all. Zuo Zhe subconsciously wanted to move his stiff body, but he was constrained everywhere.

The interrogation chair restricted Zuo Zhe's movements, the dazzling glare restricted Zuo Zhe's vision, and the pungent smell of cigarettes hindered Zuo Zhe's sense of smell. Taste didn't work at this time, and the only thing that Zuo Zhe could use was hearing.

Listening to the stern rebuke in the opposite tone in silence, Zuo Zhe's attention gradually shifted to other places. I don't know why I'm here, and where my previous memories have gone. At this time, Zuo Zhe only knew that he was restricted. Subconsciously, Zuo Zhe wanted to get out of the current situation that was extremely unfavorable to him.

If freedom is not restricted, people may not realize the preciousness and importance of freedom. It is true that after freedom is restricted, after people lose their freedom, they will remember the lost freedom.

Zuo Zhe didn't want to be confined to this interrogation chair that couldn't even stand up, and Zuo Zhe wanted to take back his freedom.

However, is freedom really something that belongs to the individual in the first place?

Are people born with freedom, or are they given the right to be free?

For slaves, their freedom was inherently deprived by the slave owner. So, slaves are not free from the day they are born. If it weren't for the fact that infant slaves were unable to work, slave owners would not have allowed slave babies to spend the first few years of their lives free.

For infant slaves, their first few years of freedom were rewarded to them by their slave owners. Perhaps, these few years of freedom are also the only free time in the slave's life.

With the exception of natural slaves, the rest of the people, rich and poor, seem to be born with freedom.

However, this freedom is not really freedom. It's like a shepherd to a lamb, and the lamb may be free to rejoice in the shepherd's pasture. But once the lambs are big enough, what awaits them can only be slaughtered. The so-called freedom is nothing more than a loan granted to the lamb. As soon as the time comes, it will be time to take it back with interest.

Between different species, the strong side has the full power to kill the weak side. Everything on the weak side is decided by the strong side.

Within the same species, the stronger side also has some power to adjudicate on the weaker side. This judgment may be due to certain legal morality, or it may be due to personal power and preference. With some of the power in their hands, the stronger party can deprive the weaker party of some of their freedom, and let the weaker party seek the basic conditions for survival by working or the like.

Therefore, freedom is inherently one and two sides of control. In other words, if there is no freedom, how can there be no freedom? It's as if life and death are two sides of the same coin, and life can both give and take life away from people.

"Do I want to be free?" Confined to the interrogation chair, Zuo Zhe, who had lost his freedom, asked himself.

Zuo Zhe didn't know if he wanted to regain his freedom, Zuo Zhe wanted more to gain power, to gain the power to be free from restrictions. Since the other party can restrict his freedom once, he can restrict his freedom twice or more. It's like the sheep are released from the enclosure every morning by the shepherds, but are driven back into the enclosure every evening.

Without power, no matter how many times you get free, as long as the other party is willing, you can regain your freedom anytime and anywhere. Therefore, what people who desire freedom really seek is not freedom, but the power to prevent themselves from being easily deprived of their freedom by others.

With power, not only is freedom not arbitrarily deprived, but other things are not easily taken away. So, what Zuo Zhe really wants is power, and he wants to have power that no one else can afford to underestimate?

No.

It's not just power.

What is the difference between a man with only strength and a cold machine? Giving up too many things in order to preserve freedom is not the result that Zuo Zhe wants. In addition to strength, Zuo Zhe also needs a clear goal and will. Only by knowing one's own goals can power be of reasonable use.

There is strength, there is a goal, and the next step is to move towards the goal?

No.

In addition to strength and purpose, Zuo Zhe also needs effective methods. It's like if human beings want to fly into the sky, and the goal of jumping into the sky with strong bouncing force and a tendon is not enough. If you want to really fly, you need to be strong enough and wings to make yourself fly. If you don't have wings, you can artificially create hot air balloons, airplanes, and other flying vehicles. And to do that, you need a method.

Regardless of what you want to do, execution, methodology, and goals are all indispensable elements, and you can't succeed without any of them.

Execution, method and goal, these three are what Zuo Zhe really wants.

……

"You're so greedy, you want all three!" A dissatisfied sneer rang out, dragging Zuo Zhe out of the smoky interrogation room. Bright living room. Just like a blind date, Zuo Zhe stared directly at the three beauties opposite the coffee table under the introduction of the matchmaker.
