Volume II: The Land of the Believers 73
"You're only fifteen years old, why do you want to enter the Special Investigation Unit for Apostolic Crimes at this age? You must know that the profession of investigator has certain dangers, and the formal position is not like an internship, everyone will protect you so that you will not be harmed. Sitting in front of Luo Wei were the interviewers of the IBDC special recruitment. The interviewer in the middle doesn't look like he has any sharp eyes, he doesn't look like a good person, and he doesn't have any superfluous emotions exposed. It's as if he's a robot who does the job at hand. Even his hairstyle is an ordinary military hairstyle - close to a bald inch.
From one point of view, a professional interview is a lie, a counterpoint to judge whether the level of embellishment of a lie is superb. There are some things that Luo Wei must not say, otherwise, being too honest is tantamount to killing himself.
"Because I worship the profession of an investigator, I can fight crime and find the truth of the case. In my opinion, an investigator is a detective-like profession, requiring careful logical thinking, eyes that can see details that are difficult for others to see, and an amazing memory..."Luo Wei said very smoothly, but another silver-haired woman in her sixties made a stop gesture.
"Unlike other ordinary job interviews, we have strict background checks. We can guess your motivation - Luo Yan, this little girl who should be almost ten years old this year, is your motivation for joining IBDC, right? More than two years ago, she disappeared from the Silver Apostle Academy, suspected of being kidnapped. On December 25, 2170, the police received a report, and due to the status of Luo Yan's apostle, the case was quickly taken over by IBDC. During your internship, in addition to completing your internship, you also visited many IBDC internal websites with a temporary account, most of which were illegal apostolic organizations. However, because your privileges are too low, you don't have access to many materials, but even so, it seems that you have the idea of overstepping your permission. Trainee Investigator Lowe, do you have anything to say about that? The woman's face was old, and her smile was kind and soft, but every word that came out of her mouth was like an invisible knife.
Luo Wei seemed so calm that he didn't even roll his eyes. He had long thought that the specially recruited interviewer would not let go of these questions, and there was no luck in the interview, and his answer for the first time was just like an indispensable polite greeting between two old friends who were quick to become strangers and had not seen each other for many years.
Luo Wei seemed to ponder for a moment, as if there was something unspeakable. However, Luo Wei himself knew that even this small pause was just a means to make himself appear more sincere and credible, and he had the answer to the female interviewer's sharp question a long time ago-
"If the end is just, then it doesn't matter what the means are." Rowe said. He swept the three interviewers in front of him from left to right - an old woman with a smile on her face and a ruthless treatment of her "opponent"; The main interviewer who is lifeless and has personality to speak of; The young man is still silent, but seems to be listening to every detail.
"I don't deny that part of the reason I wanted to get into IBDC at my age, and even most of the reason, was because of my sister. However, this motive is not an illegal purpose, and it does not prevent me from being an honest and credible investigator, nor will I become a public servant who uses my power for personal gain. Luo Wei said.
"Investigate inside information and find your sister's potential kidnappers, isn't it called using power for personal gain?" The woman's aura is very strong, and she completely takes over the right to speak in all questions.
Luo Wei smiled and said: "It is undeniable that I have personal emotions mixed into it, but this kind of emotion is the legitimate emotion of being a brother, not some kind of selfishness and greed, which is still very different from 'using power for personal gain'. ”
"First of all, even if the position I am in now is an internship position in the Qinglong Joint Case Handling Team, my temporary establishment is subordinate to the IBDC, and the information I read is also within my authority. Secondly, Luo Yan's kidnapping case was originally filed in the IBDC, and any investigator belonging to the IBDC, even a trainee investigator, has the right to conduct an investigation, as long as the tasks assigned by the superior are completed; Finally, the IBDC's internal "Investigator Management System and Laws, Regulations, Regulations, Rules, and Guidelines to be Complied with" only stipulates the recusal system for investigators that the investigator's relatives are "the subject of investigation for a certain crime", but does not stipulate the recusal system for the investigator's relatives as 'victims'. I had this idea about my attempt to overstep my authority to access the internal materials, but in the end, I still stopped until the action was carried out. ”
Luo Wei methodically answered the interviewer's questions.
"If, your sister's kidnapping, she just directed and acted herself; And her purpose is to contain the IBDC police force through this kidnapping, and cover for another major social crime of others, such as the arson case of the IBDC Mansion on Christmas Eve 2170? So, did your investigation violate the investigator recusal system? You know, the suspect, before the case is clear, should also be treated as a crime-related person within the investigator - the investigator should also be recused. The silent young man spoke suddenly, and as soon as he did, it was an assumption that bordered on slander.
Even if Luo Wei thought of all the possibilities, he didn't expect the interviewer to ask such a question, and even if he knew that it was an impossible hypothesis, Luo Wei, who was only fifteen years old, felt his blood surge. And when anger takes over the mind, reason is naturally squeezed out of the mind.
This time, Luo Wei really felt that he was asked, and it really took a long time to think.
Behind Luo Wei, there were no other interns who were interviewed in line, and naturally, even if they waited for five minutes, the interviewer had time; The three interviewers also knew that the question was very sharp, so they did not rush Rowe. They just looked at the half-grown teenager in front of them, sometimes frowning, sometimes twitching the corners of their mouths. Of course, they were not kind enough to remind Rowe of a certain word, in order to become an investigator, many problems need to be discovered and solved by themselves, which is an important quality.
"However," Rowe began to speak again, "to establish a suspect, it also requires the necessary procedures, a certain amount of objective evidence or suspicious clues, and it is not possible to establish a person as a suspect based on mere speculation. Of course, the two cases occurred in close proximity, and it is entirely possible that they are related. But there are many cases that happen on the same day on a planet, within a country, or even within a city, but are not related to each other. ”
"Taking a step back, even if Luo Yan is really a self-directed and self-acting kidnapper, the investigator will only be required to recuse herself if she is officially established and marked as a suspect within the IBDC; However, in the IBDC, Luo Yan is not marked as a suspect; If she is flagged as a suspect, I will follow the procedure for recusal. ”
Luo Wei glanced at the young interviewer who asked the question, and continued: "Taking a step back, Luo Yan, who is seven years old, has not reached the age of any criminal responsibility at all, and belongs to the stage of complete non-responsibility. In terms of her age and capacity for criminal responsibility, she does not meet the subject conditions for being established as a 'criminal', even as a 'suspect'. ”
"So, although it may seem unreasonable, within the rules, if 7-year-old Luo Yan really 'commits a crime', oh no, 'breaking a certain law', even if I am her parent, I have reasonable access to all her records and information, not to mention, I am only her brother, not even a guardian."
"Luo Wei, it seems that working in the judicial system is more suitable for you." There was a smile on the young interviewer's lips, as did the other two.
Seeing their expressions, Luo Wei suddenly felt a sense of relaxation.
"Even the PD-D, IBDC, broadly speaking, belong to the judicial system, don't they?" Rowe smiled.
The three interviewers looked at each other, poked and poked on their holographic tabletops, and had some brief conversations with each other. Finally, they looked at Rowe, who had become expressionless again.
"Wait for the results, we'll let you know in a few days."
Luo Wei got up, gave a brief salute, and walked out of the interview room.
