After a pause for half a moment, I looked at Xiao Dong again: "From another point of view, why did the firefighters rush in to put out the fire when they knew that the flames in front of them were growing wildly?" Did they think about a secondary explosion, did they make them wait? There is a saying that I believe everyone here has heard: knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to go to the tigers. This is the case with these armed police soldiers, who are always at the forefront of dangerous disaster relief, even if they sacrifice at the expense, and I don't want to cite more examples of this. ”

I suddenly lowered my eyes, and said softly but in a heavy tone: "If such a person does not get the respect he deserves after sacrifice, then no one will be willing to contribute to this society in the future, and it will only chill people's hearts." ”

Belief is something that can be influenced by people.

In the past, I might have thought the same way as my colleagues, looking at events rationally from a legal point of view. But since Zhou Yu conveyed the idea to me, it has been difficult to examine and measure the situation without his influence.

Finally, Xiao Dong announced the end of the meeting and asked me to stay.

After his colleagues walked out of the conference room, Xiao Dong asked, "When did you become so emotional?" ”

"Sentimental? I don't think so. ”

Xiao Dong smiled, "If you put morality in front of the law, it will be unjust." ”

"But is the so-called justice based on two lives that are willing to dedicate themselves to society?"

Xiao Dong smiled: "Jia Ru, you still don't admit that you are emotional." To put it bluntly: firefighters rushing into fire pits to fight fires are driven by a sense of mission, being a good police officer requires a sense of justice, and the law is above all. There is no morality and justice before the law, it only has fairness and justice, to put it bluntly, the law is an emotionless machine used to restrain and regulate society and people. ”

Xiao Dong said that this was just an internal meeting discussion, and hoped that I would not make similar mistakes next time. I wanted to say that the law is nothing more than human feelings, but when it came to my mouth, it was replaced by the words: "Find an opportunity to visit the family of the deceased, this is also the obligation of our courts, and at the same time listen to the voices of the people." ”

Xiao Dong raised his eyebrows noncommittally and walked out of the conference room.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Dong took me out of the courthouse early the next morning and went straight to the firefighter's home. The first firefighter to go was named Wang Shanxi, who was 22 years old and unmarried, and his parents were still alive.

As soon as Wang Shanxi's parents heard that we were from the court, they nervously let us into the house and made tea before they sat down with a cower. The two of them should have been forty or fifty years old, but their hair was half white, and their eyebrows were full of sorrow.

A young black and white photo hangs in the middle of the room, and it can be said that the boy in the photo is good-looking.

Xiao Dong asked some questions, and Wang Shanxi's father was basically answering, and his mother was wiping tears from his eyes. When I left, the atmosphere in the whole room was very low, and the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man could only be understood by experiencing it firsthand.

Then we went to the second house, and another firefighter who died was named Du Xiao, 27 years old, who just got married last year. The door was opened by a pregnant woman with a big belly, and it was Du Xiao's wife. Hearing that we said that we were from the court, the other party's sense of precaution was stronger than that of the old man before, so he asked us to show our documents before letting open the door.

In addition to her, there were two old people in the house, one was a middle-aged woman looking a little older, and the other was a gray-haired grandmother. When I walked in, my heart sank, how should I live my life with a pot-bellied pregnant woman and two lonely old people?

Xiao Dong still asked those questions routinely, and Du Xiao's wife was answering. The other two are Du Xiao's mother and Du Xiao's grandmother, and his father was also a soldier in his early years and died in a disaster relief.

In contrast, the mood of this family is relatively calm. When Du Xiao's wife answered our questions, the two elders just sat next to us and listened, and no one cried. There was sadness in their expressions, but it was not expressive.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, it was Du Mu who got up to open it, and heard Du Mu standing by the door and saying, "Why did you bring so many things here?" I looked around and saw Zhou Yu walking in through the door.

He was also startled when he came in and saw us, but he quickly regained his composure.

Du Mu introduced to him: "These two came from the court to ask about Xiao Xiao." ”

Judging from the familiar attitude of the Du family and Zhou Yu, this should not be the first time he has come to condole. Du Xiao's wife got up and took the things in his hand, and said politely: "Zhou Suo, you have a heart." ”

Zhou Yu glanced at me before replying: "No, it just so happens that my lover is also pregnant, so I know what nutrition should be supplemented for pregnant women." ”

When I heard this, I paid attention to what he was carrying, and found that in addition to a box of imported kiwifruit, there were two cans of pregnant women's milk powder and some other calcium supplements.

Du Mu picked up the conversation on the side: "Whoever is Zhou's lover is really blessed." ”

Feeling uncomfortable, I got up from my chair, "That's almost the end of the investigation, I'll come back later if I need to." ”

In the afterglow, Xiao Dong bent slightly between his lips, but he also got up with me to say goodbye to the Du family. When we were about to leave, we heard that Zhou Yu was not staying, so the three of them came out of Du's house one after another, and when they arrived downstairs, Zhou Yu asked, "Why did you come here too?" ”

"After our court gets the case, it naturally has to make a routine visit." Xiao Dong responded to him very officially.

Zhou Yu also did not move, only asked lightly: "Did you draw any conclusions after the visit?" ”

Xiao Dong smiled deeply and said: "Our visit is based on the form, and after a general understanding of the situation, we will go through the judicial procedure and schedule a public trial." As for the conclusions, they were naturally tried in court through the evidence given by the police and the testimony of the complainants. ”

It is basically impossible to get anything out of Xiao Dong's mouth, and it can be said that the speech is leaky.

Zhou Yu looked directly at me, "What about you, do you have any opinions?" ”

I was just about to open my mouth to speak when Xiao Dong cut me off: "Zhou Law Firm, Jia Ru is a qualified lawyer in our court, and she will be a new prosecutor soon, she will naturally uphold the fairness and openness of the law, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to answer too many personal questions before the case is opened." ”

Obviously, Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with anger, but he still restrained himself, and his tone became cold when he spoke again: "Prosecutor Xiao, there is humanity behind the justice of the law, the two families you routinely visit are not heinous criminals, but family members who have lost their son and husband, the old man has gray hair, and his wife is about to give birth, you should be them trying to make money?" Heh......"

Zhou Yu ended the topic with a sarcastic laugh and walked straight to his car.

Watching his car drive away, I felt a little bored, and I didn't say anything from beginning to end.

On the way back, I saw Xiao Dong's expressionless face and no joy or anger, so I couldn't help but ask: "Do you still think that this case should go through the judicial process in a public manner?" Unexpectedly, Xiao Dong turned his eyes and shouted with a solemn expression in his eyes: "Jia Ru! We are the judiciary, what is the use of the law if every case is about human feelings? ”

My heart sank, he was not wrong, but ......

"You must remember that what we hold in our hands is the law, and what we condemn is sin and punishment, and there is no room for error. Whether you or he Zhou Yu came to ask me the same question, my answer was the same. ”

There was silence for a while before responding: "I see." ”

But when the car pulled up to the courthouse parking lot, Xiao Dong turned to me again and said, "However, the possibility you raised at yesterday's meeting may not be discussed in court, and now I need to understand the level of danger of the raw materials produced by the chemical plant, which are suitable for production in residential areas." If it is really a gas that can be ignited by an open flame, then it is not only a matter of reviewing compensation, but also a matter of focusing on the chemical plant. ”

I'm happy, does that mean there's a turnaround? Hurriedly said: "I'll let Xiao Zhou call and ask." ”

The quality inspection report of the chemical plant should be particularly rigorous, if the chain is dropped at this level, then there will be more things and people involved.

Afterwards, Xiao Dong also asked me if I thought he was very unkind? I thought about it and answered him: other people's favors are on their faces, and their favors are in their hearts.

remembers that when Li You's incident was at the beginning, when the Zhang family did not pay the corresponding compensation according to the verbal promise, it was Xiao Dong who contacted the surname Zhang. Otherwise, Zhang Jiahao may not be able to help Li You through crowdfunding so smoothly.

This is what convinces me about Xiao Dong, he could have been in the workplace in all directions, but he chose this job that is not close to the eyes of outsiders, and while adhering to principles, he is not really unkind.

This case has been temporarily suppressed as the scope of the investigation has become wider, and the trial will not be held until the relevant information and evidence are listed. Originally, I was supposed to focus on the economic case a year ago, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yu came to the door first.
