At four o'clock in the morning, in Yixin Community, the county seat of Yuanhe County, a string of phone ringtones woke up Yang Lin, who was still asleep.

Confused, he glared at the caller ID, and found that it was an unfamiliar number, which should have been from a public phone, and after he answered the phone, he jumped out of bed without feeling sleepy just by listening to a sentence.

"I'll come right over!"

The person on the phone just said a word, and the captain hurried out of the house alone in the early morning.

Before leaving, he also pinned his gun to his waist.

After walking hundreds of meters all the way, I came to a park path on the east side of the community, where only a street lamp stood alone, and there was a figure standing under the lamp.

Yang Lin was a little puzzled and walked closer, and when he saw the person under the lamp, he was immediately taken aback: "Why are you!" ”

"Li Heng?"

Li Heng nodded lightly and said, "It's me."

Yang Lin's confusion deepened, it was not dawn this day, why did this benevolent brother come over, and what he said on the phone made him very concerned.

There was no mood to reminisce about the past, and Yang Lin asked directly: "You said on the phone that you have a clue about the leader of the smuggler firearms gang?!" ”

"That's right"

Li Heng nodded, then took out a sealed bag from behind him, and when he opened it, there were dozens of stacks of documents and a few cold and swarthy killing weapons.

Yang Lin's eyes widened suddenly, and he took the sealed bag, looked at the contents and asked at the same time, "What about that guy?" What about the boss? These are all collected by you? It's too dangerous! ”

"Dead"

Yang lin:?

Li Heng said quietly in one breath: "He has died in the third building of the Linhu Villa, Zhao Liuhe's private villa, Zhao Liuhe is also dead, the bodies of the two of them are now in the study on the second floor of the villa, and the remaining private weapons are hidden in the storage room on the first floor as evidence, the documents in this bag are the evidence of Zhao Liuhe's transactions with criminals over the years, this should only be partial, more criminal evidence accumulated over the years is also sealed in the second safe of the mezzanine safe on the third floor, Don't cut it with acetylene will destroy what's inside, I've already asked for the password for you, 472613098"

Listening to Li Heng's almost unfrustrated words, Yang Lin was directly stunned, the amount of information was too large, so he couldn't digest it for a while.

"Wait...... Wait......"

He held his forehead and half-closed his eyes began to think about the logic inside, although he still maintained his skepticism, but he could not stand the facts in front of him.

It took half a minute for him to come over slowly, without making a fuss or panic, but his face became cold and his tone was no longer gentle: "You killed them?" ”

"Well, but don't worry, I've already set up the scene, and both of them were shot and died, at least it looks like they shot each other because the business was not discussed."

"That's not what the I'm talking about!"

Yang Lin was furious, even though he was still suppressing his anger.

"Kill! It's a crime! This is an act punishable by law! ”

He looked at the friend he had just made, the young man he admired so much, and the look of indignation and pity alternated across his face, making his face look slightly distorted.

"You won't be unclear about what kind of person Zhao Liuhe is, you also know the leader of this criminal, what is the current situation of Yuanhe County under Zhao Liuhe's tilt for decades, you can get a glimpse of it just from the information, right?"

Li Heng didn't have any emotional fluctuations because of the other party's anger, and spoke calmly from beginning to end.

"Their lives can only die once, and I don't even think it's too cheap."

"One yard is one yard, their crime is a matter of the law, and there is its own judiciary to check and balance, but you are also breaking the law when you make a move!"

"But I don't see a counterbalance intervening, at least not yet."

Yang Lin shook his head and pressed his temples, feeling pain and helplessness, he didn't know what to say to this young man to make him understand.

"So...... Zhao Tianbao was also killed by you? ”

Yang Lin asked in a low voice.

"That's right"

Li Heng's answer was very straightforward.

"You!! I ......"

Yang Lin was speechless for a while, he couldn't even speak, and at this moment, thinking about his previous actions, he even had a strong sense of dislocation that he had been betrayed.

"Do you think it's chivalrous? You are just countering violence with violence, and you are abusing lynching."

"And the law exists to put an end to lynching!"

"I know"

"But you did it anyway!"

"That's right"

"Or do you have the confidence to challenge public order and the laws of your country?!"

"I won't do this kind of meaningless thing"

Li Heng said calmly, his eyes were as clear as the two lights.

He then added, "What do you think the law is?" ”

Yang Lin's face was cold and stiff and said: "The law is the cornerstone of the operation of this society, the bottom line that all human beings in this whole collective must keep, and the protective layer for all people, although it is limited, it must not be easily crossed."

Li Heng nodded in agreement with his point of view: "The law is the binding force within the human collective, and it is also the law for human individuals to protect themselves, but ...... What if the object is not human, or is it already a different from human? ”

Yang Lin was taken aback: "What do you want to say?" ”

Li Heng took a breath gently, and the next moment the air where he was trembled, and then his figure disappeared directly out of thin air.

Yang lin:!!

Yang Lin, who was taken aback, narrowed his eyes and desperately tried to incorporate the range he could see in front of him into his field of vision as much as possible, but no matter how desperately he observed, left and right, he couldn't detect the slightest sign of Li Heng.

At this moment, he had a feeling like he was alive, as if everything just now was an illusion, otherwise how could such a big living person suddenly seem to evaporate in front of his eyes!

Suddenly, he felt something strange in his waist, and when he looked down, he found that the gun he had been pinning to his waist was gone.

When he looked up again, he saw a dark hole facing him, with the cold aura of metal, Yang Lin subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Li Heng held his own gun at him, and the two of them confronted each other under this unmanned street lamp, so quiet that it seemed that the air had frozen.

Click-

Li Heng opened the safety of the gun, so that it really had the ability to shoot and kill people by pulling the trigger, and then handed it to Yang Lin with his backhand.

Yang Lin felt confused for a while, but he still took the gun with a frown, and his eyes fell on the body of the gun that was opened by the safe.

"Are you telling me to shoot?"

He lowered his head and stroked the barrel of the gun and asked coldly.

"You can try"

Li Heng's voice was still so calm.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Yang Lin finally smiled bitterly and gave up.

He understood the meaning of Li Heng's words, and he also experienced a sense of powerlessness, powerlessness in the face of things beyond his cognition.

Yang Lin looked at Li Heng with incredibly complicated eyes: "Is there really such a thing in the world...... The so-called ......'transhuman'? ”

He shook his head and wondered if the world was out of order, or if he was in chaos.

"If that's the case, then maybe it's true, as you said, that you have the qualifications to break out of the legal rules, but in the same way, you will lose the protection of the entire human society, and you will be the enemy of the whole order?"

"I said it, it's a pointless thing"

"So you're here to kill me too?"

Yang Lin asked, but there was no fear on his face.

"Not necessary"

Li Heng replied softly.

"Why? Aren't you afraid that I will expose your existence? Expose your anomaly to the whole society, use the power of the state apparatus to suppress you, arrest you, and even turn you into an experimental subject?! ”

"You won't do that"

"Why?!" Yang Lin's voice became excited, "How can you determine my will? I am a member of this society, one of the ordinary people of this country, and a people's policeman! With my duty, my duty to expose dangerous aliens like you, it is a matter of course! ”

Li Heng shook his head: "You can't convince yourself, I know your resume"

His gaze was like a fire, shooting directly into the depths of Yang Lin's eyes, as if he could see everything hidden in his heart.

Yang Lin was looked at by his gaze for a while, as if these eyes had the power to break through all obstacles.

Li Heng naturally doesn't have any abilities like seeing through human thoughts now, but his mental power is as high as 162 at the moment, and his spiritual will surpasses ordinary people too much, and it is not difficult for him to gain insight into others.

"Although you have been turbulent in the turbid world for many years, I can see that you still uphold a certain primitive and persistent justice, which is your original heart, and you can't lose it to this day."

"It is this nature that has led you to embark on the road of fighting crime and protecting the people, maybe you thought that you could firmly support this heart when you embarked on this road, but the more you solve the case, the faster you are promoted, but you find that you are more and more powerless, and some things cannot be changed by a police officer with a righteous heart."

"Therefore, you are even willing to accept the transfer order to this kind of marginal county, in the final analysis, it is precisely because you can't accept the justice that annihilates the primitive persistence in your heart, and you can only choose to cover your extravagant hopes with procedural justice."

"In this respect, you and I are similar, but I was far inferior to you in the past."

Yang Lin, who had been listening to Li Heng's words, frowned and remained silent, and was silent for a long time before he whispered, "You mean that if I had the same strength as you, I would do this?" ”

"Probably"

Yang Lin puffed up a breath in his chest, and he wanted to loudly refute and reprimand: I am a people's policeman, I have my own bottom line of practice, and I will not know the law and break the law!

However, in the end, he still couldn't roar, and the breath in his chest was released.

"Do as I want, take this evidence, go to the waterfront villa, take care of this case of "collusion between the rich and criminals", and then take care of your own promotion journey"

Yang Lin lowered his eyebrows and said darkly: "Then what is the difference between you and those guys who promised me that as long as I do what they say, I can become rich and noble?" ”

"Yes!"

Li Heng said categorically.

"Because I don't want you the same as theirs"

"I have only one request for you - to treat the people well"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Lin was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, his eyes gradually fell into emptiness, as if he had fallen into some distant memory, and when he came back to his senses, there was no one in front of him, and Li Heng's figure did not know where to go.

Yang Lin, who was standing quietly in place, silently took out his mobile phone and opened it.

"Zhang Yi? Call everyone in the second team, and now go to the lakeside villa......"
