Chapter 13: The Meaning of Justice
Wu Feng nodded, and then he threw out another question.
"What is the meaning of justice?"
"I don't know, maybe it's to maintain the stability of society." Wang Xueqian said uncertainly.
"You're right, but I have a more accurate way of saying it: justice exists to reduce the cost of human cooperation." Wu Feng said.
Wang Xueqian carefully experienced Wu Feng's words and felt that it seemed to be very reasonable.
Why punish crime? Because of the selfish interests of criminals, they destroy the public interests of society and raise the cost of human cooperation.
After Wu Feng's suggestion, Wang Xueqian felt that her thinking seemed to have been sublimated, and some things that she couldn't figure out before have now become much clearer.
Wu Feng waited for Wang Xueqian to finish thinking, and his eyes looked at him again.
He continued: "Now let's go back to Wei Tao's matter, if I punish Wei Tao, Wei Bo, and Li Qiang with a sniper rifle, is it considered a crime?" ”
"But you're breaking the law by killing someone."
"But I have upheld the justice of society, is justice higher than the law, or is the law higher than justice?"
"Logically, of course, justice is higher than law."
"So, I'm defending the law, not breaking it." Wu Feng finally said in conclusion.
Wang Xueqian was a little stunned again, she felt that Wu Feng was quibbling, but she had no evidence.
For the first time in her life, she felt that the IQ she was once proud of was now a little underbalanced.
Wang Xueqian said: "Wait a minute, let me take a good look, I can't keep up with your train of thought." ”
After a while, Wang Xueqian seemed to have figured it out, she raised her head excitedly, and said to Wu Feng: "I know, killing criminals is upholding the law, but you don't have the right to do so, because you are not a law enforcer, I was almost caught up in your sophistry just now." ”
"What if law enforcers delay punishing criminals because of insufficient evidence? Just like Li Fang's case, without the evidence of mobile phone video, it is impossible to convict Wei Bo and Li Qiang. Wu Feng asked.
"Then you can't use lynching to kill people, I think sooner or later, the police will find new evidence, and they will finally be able to escape justice."
"That's justice delayed, justice delayed is injustice."
"But justice that is delayed is better than justice that does not come." Wang Xueqian said.
"But during this period of late justice, I don't know how many Li Fang will be brutally attacked by Wei Bo and Li Qiang."
"But it doesn't seem to be a matter of choice, we don't have that much ability, we're just small people, and that's not our responsibility." When Wang Xueqian said this, her confidence was also insufficient, and she didn't know whether she was right or wrong in insisting on it.
But she didn't want to see Wu Feng kill people, in that case, one day in the future, she would have to arrest Wu Feng with her own hands.
It's something she doesn't want to face.
After a lot of arguments, Wu Feng and Wang Xueqian finally opened Wang Xueqian's heart knot, and she was no longer entangled in her suspension.
This is the test she must face in life.
Wu Feng and Wang Xueqian failed to completely convince anyone, both of them have their own views on law and justice, and they have their own choices, which is also a normal thing.
In fact, these questions are the questions that Wu Feng has been thinking about for many years as a criminal policeman, but at that time he had low ability and had no way to practice, but now it is different.
At this moment, Wang's beautiful voice came from the kitchen, and the meal was served.
The three of them ate together again, and dinner turned into lunch.
It's just that the mood of the three people is very different from last time.
Last night, after Wang Xueqian's enlightenment, Wang Meili felt that Wu Feng might really be a sea king who didn't want to work hard, and her little milk dog just appeared and cracked.
Last night she tossed and turned in bed, and she couldn't sleep.
After all, she and Wu Feng are not suitable, whether in terms of age or wealth, although they can complement each other, but in the eyes of others, it may be more like a transaction.
She didn't know what Wu Feng really thought.
In the end, she made up her mind and decided to end this abnormal love, no longer contact Wu Feng in the future, and return to her previous peaceful life.
However, what happened to Xue Qian at noon today made her six gods and masters, and she found that she couldn't give her daughter any explanation and comfort, and she had no experience in facing this kind of thing.
At this time, the only thing she could think of was Wu Feng.
Glancing at Wu Feng who was gobbling up on the other side, Wang Meimei's anger in her heart didn't come to a place.
Aunt Wang, she still remembers Wu Feng's address and tone to her on the phone.
When this little rabbit cub is happy, he is called Sister Li, Sister Gan, and if he is unhappy, he is called Aunt Wang, what does he think of himself, does he treat one person as three people?
She glanced at Wang Xueqian next to her again, and at this moment, Wang Xueqian returned to her original appearance, full of vigor and spirit, and her lost appearance when she just returned home from the police station.
What did Wu Feng say to his daughter, it made Xue Qian cheer up so quickly, she vaguely heard the words law and justice in the kitchen, could it be that the way to coax girls now has become so positive?
However, seeing her daughter eating happily now, she is sincerely happy.
Wang Meili now thinks that Wu Feng is still very good, as long as he doesn't invest money in him in the future, he won't be able to become a sea king, and he has no money to raise a little girlfriend outside, so he can only be a little milk dog with peace of mind.
Wang Xueqian's perception of Wu Feng has also changed 360 degrees, and the villain who spoke yin and yang weirdly yesterday has become a young man who is committed to defending justice.
She glanced at Wu Feng beside her, with her resolute face and handsome facial features, she found that this little detective's appearance was still very online.
Seeing that he is not more than two years older than himself, why does he know so much and have such a deep understanding of law and justice?
And his reasoning skills are so strong.
Wang Xueqian felt that the temperature around her was a little high, and her face was a little hot.
She inherited her mother's excellent genes, she was a school flower from childhood to adulthood, and she was also a police flower when she arrived at the police station.
In addition to sending flowers, watching movies, and inviting people to dinner, those people think about those things in the hotel.
It looks bright on the outside, and the stomach is full of pigweed.
She was never dismissive of those people.
Wang Xueqian thought about her suspension again, and now Wei Tao is covering the sky in the police station, and if she wants to resume her position, she is afraid that it will be difficult, and she can't help but sigh secretly.
I'm afraid that only when Wei Tao falls, can he have the day to resume his position, but now that there is no mobile phone video evidence, it is not easy to bring down Wei Tao.
I don't know what Wu Feng can do.
Looking at Wu Feng's meaning, it seems that he wants to use lynching to solve it, this is indeed a good way to break the situation, as long as Wei Tao's protective umbrella disappears, Li Fang's case will become simple.
But in Wang Xueqian's view, this is illegal, and she can't agree with it anyway.
"Wu Feng, do you really plan to use lynching to solve this case?" Wang Xueqian asked about her worries.
"For now, it's the best thing to do." Wu Feng replied.
"But this is against the law, you are provoking the dignity of the law, and you are hurting the law."
"Wei Tao's existence allows power to override the law, which is the greatest harm to the law, compared to the use of lynching to do much less harm to the law."
"Promise me, don't do illegal things, I have a classmate who works in a newspaper, and we can collect evidence again and expose this case." Wang Xueqian said in an almost pleading tone.
She's grown up and she's never spoken to a man in that tone, she's always been a princess in the past, and she's got her own pride and principles.
She didn't want to see Wu Feng as a person with such a sense of justice, because of a momentary impulse to slip into the abyss of crime.
Wu Feng was a little moved, and the concern in Wang Xueqian's tone seemed to be about to turn into substance, and he couldn't bear to refuse her again.
"Okay, let's think of something else."
After getting Wu Feng's promise, Wang Xueqian instantly became happy, her face was filled with happiness, and she seemed to have received the best gift in the world.
Lunch for three people, no one will find it romantic.
The two beauties were in front, but Wu Feng had to pretend to be a decent gentleman and not squint, which was too painful.
At the end of lunch, Wu Feng got up and said goodbye and left.
Wang Meili cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Wang Xueqian did not go upstairs and stayed to help Wang Meili.
The two men were silent, each with their own thoughts, both related to one person.
Wang Meili suddenly asked Wang Xueqian: "Xueqian, what do you think of Wu Feng?" ”
Wang Xueqian's face flushed, feeling that her mother had seen through her heart, and she replied timidly: "Mom, you just feel good, I don't have any opinion." ”
Wang's beautiful face also turned red.
