This was the first time Yang Xingguo asked Shi Feng his opinion of the hermit. He had never mentioned this topic before.
"Abuse of lynching, knowing the law and breaking the law are extremely heinous crimes."
Shi Feng used three idioms in a row.
"Then what if we put aside our identity as the captain of the criminal police detachment and simply start from Shi Feng's point of view?"
Shi Feng immediately fell silent. He pondered for a long time before speaking: "I think he can still be saved."
"Can we save him?" Yang Xingguo sneered disdainfully as if he had heard a big joke: "You tell me, can a person who bloodbathed the underground forces in Neihua City be saved?"
"At least that's what I think." Shi Feng said with a determined look: "Although the methods he used are too radical, I believe that his nature is not bad, because he has never harmed any innocent people."
Shi Feng recalled the time when Xia Qiyuan was still alive.
During a certain operation, he was sent by Xia Qiyuan to work under Ai Liang, and the two went together to collect intelligence and monitor Ai Liang. At that time, Ai Liang was still a hermit. And during that operation, Ai Liang secretly gave money to a homeless child more than once.
, this scene was imprinted in Shi Feng’s eyes.
"Perhaps as you said, he is not bad in nature and has not had any negative impact on society. On the contrary, Nevada City has become one of the cities with the lowest crime rate."
Yang Xingguo seemed to have expected what Shi Feng would say.
"However, what the police have not been able to do for so many years was reduced by a executioner in just a few years. How do you want the public to view the police? If everyone does it with the concept of punishing evil and promoting good
If we do the same thing as him, what will become of Nevada City?"
"Laws and rules are the guarantee of social stability. I shouldn't need to emphasize this to you."
Of course Shi Feng understands the impact that the Hermit's actions will have once they are exposed. I am afraid that there will be countless people doing unforgivable viciousness under the banner of advocating justice. The Hermit can guarantee that everyone killed will deserve to die.
, but most people don’t have the ability to investigate clearly.
Once he is bewitched by others, the entire Nevada City will be completely transformed into a place of chaos.
"Moreover, you may have some misunderstanding about that person. In your heart, the Cutthroat Demon is a violent vigilante with a righteous mind. As long as no innocent people are harmed, the police can reach cooperation with him." Yang Xingguo sneered and said.
: "I have the same idea as that guy Xia Qiyuan."
Shi Feng did not open his mouth to explain, because this matter involved two people's ideas, and neither one could convince the other.
"In my opinion, the Cutthroat Demon is pure evil. He does these things just to satisfy his desire to kill. He just chooses to bite dogs in the black zone because he is worried about causing a major social impact!"
Listening to Yang Xingguo's remarks, Shi Feng instinctively frowned. Although Shi Feng subjectively disagreed with his statement, he could not deny the possibility.
"Even if he initially disliked the evil deeds and wanted to seek justice, who can guarantee that his philosophy has not changed during this series of actions?" Yang Xingguo's next words were more powerful than the other, "About cutting throats."
You should have read the demon's file. When he first killed someone ten years ago, it was obvious that he was not very skilled and treated the victim inhumanely."
"To be honest, I wouldn't be worried if he had been treating that group of people in a brutal and murderous manner. That represents his hatred for the black zone and his sympathy for the innocent people who are persecuted by the black zone."
"It was like this in the first year, but what happened later? Those steps were slowly omitted, and a year later it turned into a clean cut of the throat. What does this change mean? Regarding the files on his psychological profile, you
You should have seen it before!"
Shi Feng lowered his eyes silently.
Yang Xingguo's voice came with a ghostly chill: "He has become numb, numb to life! He has become murderous, but he still maintains a trace of reason and does not attack ordinary people! For five years, five years
How many people has he executed? You know very well what impact it will have if you allow a dangerous person who has no regard for life to live in society. No one can guarantee that a person who regards human life as nothing can always restrain himself!"
"If the slasher is not brought to justice, who will have the face to face the victim's family when the innocent victim appears?"
Yang Xingguo's words were deafening, and Shi Feng had no room to refute.
Shi Feng naturally knew this kind of thing, and he never thought about protecting the hermit. He just felt sorry for him and ruined the rest of his life for a group of criminals who did not regret death.
Said that the atmosphere here was a bit heavy, and after the two exchanged the details of the arrest operation, they hung up the phone.
Yang Xingguo was staying in the study room of the assigned apartment at this time, staring at a group photo on the table. In the photo, two men in police uniforms were holding arms and smiling brightly at the camera. One of them was Yang Xingguo.
.
He covered the photo on the table, turned off the light and walked out of the study.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Feng let out a long sigh.
He knew very well that Yang Xingguo's reprimand was because he was worried that he would lose his faith due to his sympathy for the hermit, and thus have doubts about his profession.
The world is not black and white, there is gray between black and white, just like there is the human world between heaven and hell.
Many things are right based on human sensibility, but wrong based on cold order. However, human beings' own sensibility cannot protect the interests of most people, while ruthless law and order can.
After all, Shi Feng was fished ashore by Xia Qiyuan. Unlike Yang Xingguo, who graduated from the National Defense University, he would more or less retain some of his black zone habits.
He cannot have the firm belief like Yang Xingguo, nor can he be as sophisticated and smooth as Xia Qiyuan. All he can do is solve cases and arrest people with his keen observation skills.
After adjusting his mentality, Shi Feng came to the interrogation room and sat across from Xia Qinian.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be avoided, but if you really want to avoid suspicion, there are few people in the entire criminal police team who can interrogate Xia Qinian. It was just Shi Feng who caught him here this time. The process does not need to be so strict.
Xia Qinian used to come here often as a criminal consultant, but when he was handcuffed to the table, the older girl got on the sedan chair.
However, because his uncle is a workaholic, he was in the criminal police team as if he were home, not nervous at all, and even wanted to order takeout.
"You bitch, hurry up and take off the handcuffs. It's none of my business if you arrest the hermit. I'm not guilty!" Xia Qinian said angrily when he saw Shi Feng walking in.
"It's not too much to detain you for a few hours if you contact a dangerous person in private." Shi Feng kept half a body distance from the table to prevent Xia Qinian's feet from making small moves under the table, such as stepping on his toes.
This guy can really do this kind of thing.
"That's bullshit private contact. He just sat down for five minutes and you led dozens of people to block the mall. You call this private? You can't even shit while dozens of people are watching!" Xia Qinian said cursingly.
No matter how stupid he is, he can see that this meeting is obviously a trap for the Hermit. If you think about it more deeply, maybe the rumors about the Hermit's plan to attack Yue Chongshan were deliberately released by them, with the purpose of attracting attention.
The hermit takes the bait.
Shi Feng remained silent. This meeting was indeed under their control, so there was nothing to ask.
Originally, Shi Feng should have removed Xia Qinian's handcuffs when he came over, but seeing Xia Qinian's bad temper, Shi Feng decided to call Gao Bin over later to help. If he faced him alone, a fight would inevitably occur.
Xia Qinian suddenly asked: "Is it true that Xia Qiyuan was taken away by people wearing special combat uniforms?"
"Really." Shi Feng's expression remained as usual.
"Is he dead or alive now?" Xia Qinian looked very serious.
"Still alive." Shi Feng's eyes began to look tired, "I only know that he is still alive. Director Yang asked me to write that file. On the surface, Xia Qiyuan is already a dead person."
"Then where is he now?" Xia Qinian asked quickly.
"I didn't know that even Bureau Yang can't see the master's confidentiality level now. How can I, a detachment leader, have that right? Bureau Yang told me that the master is still alive." Shi Feng was worried that Xia Qinian would do this again.
If I continue to investigate in a daze, something will happen sooner or later, so I just talk about it.
"Master is most likely carrying out a secret mission. If you have anything else you want to ask, please ask immediately. I won't admit you once you get out of this door." Shi Feng looked at Xia Qinian solemnly.
"Where is my uncle now?"
"have no idea."
"Then what mission did he perform and how long did it take?"
"have no idea."
"connect."
"have no idea."
"I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"Use your stupid brain! I told you it was a secret mission. How could I know?" Shi Feng slammed the table angrily.
"Then what do you know? Tell me quickly." Xia Qinian also felt that those questions were nonsense and simply asked Shi Feng to tell him everything he knew.
It was clearly Xia Qinian who was wearing handcuffs, but his impatient tone sounded as if he was the interrogator.
"Xia Qiyuan is still alive." Shi Feng told what he knew concisely and concisely.
"Then what?" Xia Qinian asked.
"No, that's all I know." Shi Feng spread his hands directly, indicating that I have told you everything I know.
"Fuck, what's the difference between what you said and what you didn't say!"
"At least I let you know that he is still alive."
Xia Qinian cursed for a while and then suddenly leaned back on the chair. He didn't want Shi Feng to see his wet eyes.
The heart that had been hanging for nearly ten years was completely relieved, and Xia Qinian felt extremely peaceful inside.
"What Xu Zhihai from MD said is outrageous. I've never heard of the Apostles' Association. Why can't you write the lines more professionally?" Xia Qinian abruptly changed the subject in order to cover up his emotions.
"What kind of apostle meeting?" Shi Feng asked with a frown: "I led people to surround the mall according to Director Yang's instructions."
"No, that Xu Zhihai was not the bait you invited?" Xia Qinian asked.
"He took the initiative to contact Director Yang. I don't know where he got the contact information." Shi Feng's frown deepened.
It is clear that Xu Zhihai himself is still involved in two murder cases, but he still has the intention to stir up trouble everywhere. This is completely different from the character learned by his classmates who investigated him.
Shi Feng learned from Xu Zhihai’s former high school, college classmates and neighbors that although he was smart, he was honest and honest due to his family background and never caused trouble. This was completely different from the Xu Zhihai Shi Feng had seen.
Two people.
Unless he is pretending to be himself all the time, or the death of a loved one caused his temperament to change drastically, this is also possible.
"What about Xu Zhihai, why am I the only one who was arrested? You arrested people and killed them?" Xia Qinian pounded the table angrily.
Shi Feng, whose thoughts were interrupted, was about to speak when the door of the interrogation room was pushed open.
"Team Shi, I've finished reviewing the video." Gao Bin's sudden attack made the two people in the room shut up and stop discussing.
"So fast?"
Shi Feng was a little surprised. Logically speaking, with Gao Bin's character, he would definitely wait for dozens of minutes.
"Well, the main purpose is to check the video of the time before and after the hermit appeared in the fast food restaurant, and I found that someone may have had close contact with the hermit."
Gao Bin motioned to Shi Feng to go to the technical department to check the clues he found, and slammed the interrogation room door.
Shi Feng followed Gao Bin back to the technology department and watched him pull out the so-called key clues.
"The Hermit has been trying his best not to expose himself to surveillance in the mall, but it is unavoidable in some places, such as the elevator."
Gao Bin zoomed in on the surveillance camera near the escalator. "To reach the fifth floor, there is no other way than the elevator and the emergency escape stairs. The first time the hermit appeared on the surveillance camera was on the third floor. According to the movement trajectory, it was
Came from the direction of the bathroom on the third floor."
"During this period, someone happened to enter the bathroom, and it was him." Gao Bin raised the resolution of the screen, and Ai Liang's face appeared on the computer.
"Why again?"
"I also want to ask why it's him again. It seems that all the recent cases are related to him." Gao Bin was even more speechless than Shi Feng. In his eyes, Ai Liang was the lone star of the Heavenly Evil and should never be related to him.
That kind of thing, if you keep pestering him, sooner or later you will receive a supporting role card and then receive a lunch box inexplicably.
"And the two of them were dressed," Gao Bin hesitated.
"The Hermit was already in his twenties ten years ago. Do you think it is possible for him?" Shi Feng rolled his eyes at him, "According to the Hermit's character, he must have researched what to wear when going to the mall before coming, and he will definitely do it.
The most common kind."
"I'm just talking casually." Gao Bin shrugged helplessly, "Speaking of Captain Shi, you can let me get off work. I have to go home to feed the cat."
"Wait a minute, you are responsible for Xu Zhihai, right? Where are the others?" Shi Feng turned around and asked.
"He, after a brief inquiry, I let him go." Gao Bin said casually with his eyelids drooping.
"Well, it's okay. You can get off work."
Shi Feng waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.
Gao Bin dragged his zombie steps to the parking lot and sat in the driver's seat.
"Haha, hoo hoo." Gao Bin closed the car door, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Shi Feng has already fooled him. I didn't catch Xu Zhihai. Now I can basically confirm that he is an apostle. The ability is not clear at the moment. Judging from the manifestation, it should be related to spiritual suggestion."
"Well, the Mask of the Thousand-Faced Man is also in Neihua City. It is very likely that he is planning something secretly. It is best to be careful in the laboratory. Apart from the laboratory, there is nothing in Neihua City that deserves his attention."
". Got it, I will investigate the purpose of those masks."
Gao Bin put down his phone, leaned on his seat and rolled his eyes: "Am I so unlucky? How can something like this happen during my vacation?"
