1396. He who travels half a hundred miles is unjust.
When Gao Jian talked about his plan, there was almost no emotion at all.
This made Gu Chen feel that Gao Jian in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Before, everyone had a heart-to-heart discussion in the ancient pagoda of Jiangxin Island and had a meal together in the food court.
But in the blink of an eye, everyone's identities and locations have quietly changed.
Now Gao Jian seems to have no choice.
And Gu Chen also successfully learned all of Gao Jian's plans.
This all comes from my careful observation in the car.
Therefore, as a criminal investigation policeman, Gu Chen can already detect abnormalities at a glance for any subtle doubts at any time.
Even when he was not handling cases, Gu Chen remained careful enough. It could be said that this had completely formed a muscle memory.
Seeing that Gao Jian had confessed, Gu Chen sighed quietly and continued to question him: "Gao Jian, tell me the truth, did you ever think about committing suicide by jumping off the tower that day at the Jiangxin Island Ancient Tower?"
"Hmm." Gao Jian said "Hmm", then suddenly lowered his head and fell silent, no longer speaking.
Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and continued to ask him: "What do you mean by 'um'? Have you really wanted to commit suicide?"
"Haha." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gao Jian suddenly raised his head, laughed twice, and said with relief: "Let me tell you, I... did want to commit suicide at that time."
"If it weren't for the sudden appearance of you two, I might have turned into a ball of flesh, and Zhao Peng and Zhang Jiao might not have to die at all."
After sniffing, Gao Jian suddenly mocked: "So, you saved me and indirectly killed Zhao Peng and Zhang Jiao. Will you regret it?"
"Gao Jian, what are you talking about?" Listening to Gao Jian talking nonsense, Officer Wang quickly reminded him.
But Gu Chen shook his head and answered Gao Jian's question: "Even if I know now that you killed Zhao Peng and Zhang Jiao, if time goes back to the beginning and I return to the ancient pagoda on Jiangxin Island, I will still choose
I will save you without hesitation."
"Haha, you policemen..."
Gao Jian also seemed to know how stupid he was to ask such a question.
Even if the identity is exchanged, if I were standing by the ancient pagoda and found someone trying to commit suicide, I would choose to save the person without hesitation.
It can be thought of that in my heart I want to save people, but I also kill people.
Such a contradiction made Gao Jian unable to extricate himself for a while, and he fell into deep self-blame, and his expression suddenly became melancholy.
Slowly raising his head, Gao Jian stared into Gu Chen's eyes, and suddenly burst into tears and said:
"Gu Chen, do you know? When I successfully killed Mei Xingwen, Mei Xufeng and Mei Xin at Jianhui Group, I was already suffering deeply."
"I don't know why I suddenly have such evil thoughts? Maybe it's because 15 years have passed since my brother died tragically, and the people who killed him are now living a happy life, and even separated my brother's original
The bonus you deserve."
Gao Jian sighed faintly and shook his head fiercely: "I just can't give in. Why? Why should I bear all the pain?"
"I have paid enough for this poor family, but those bad guys back then are still living a good life. Why should they? All this should be what I have."
Gu Chen watched Gao Jian almost roaring. This time, he did not choose to interrupt, but let Gao Jian vent to his heart's content.
Gao Jian also raised his head to prevent his tears from flowing too fast, and continued: "When I used despicable means to kill these three bastards for the first time, I was not particularly happy, but became
Very disappointed.”
"I know, I did something that I never dared to do before, and I became a big bastard like them."
"So during that period, even though the company suppressed these three accidents, I still had insomnia every day and was completely out of work."
"When I close my eyes every day, I can see the tragic deaths of those three people. Since then, I have had nightmares and I feel deeply tortured in my heart."
Lowering his head and raising his head, Gao Jian stared at Gu Chen with tearful eyes and said in frustration: "Because of the guilt of killing people and the career crisis at the age of 35, I feel very anxious inside."
"So that day, I walked alone from the industrial area to the ancient pagoda on Jiangxin Island."
"I stood on the window sill of the ancient pagoda, closed my eyes, and felt the cool breeze blowing from the river."
"It was as if all my experiences over the years were suddenly vivid in my mind. In just a moment, it seemed like I had finished my life."
"It was at that time that I felt relieved. It seemed that it was quiet here and the troubles outside had nothing to do with me."
"So, at that time, I suddenly felt like I wanted to jump down and end my life. I even felt like my toes were already hanging in the air."
"But at this moment, it was you, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, who brought me back from that feeling and saved me from the Lord of Hell."
"That's what we should do." Lu Weiwei looked at the anxious-looking Gao Jian in front of her and replied casually.
Gao Jian suddenly laughed and said, "It was at that time when I was communicating with you that I knew you were police officers."
"It is precisely because of this that the evil thoughts in my heart suddenly emerged, and my heart told me that I can use you as a cover. I can successfully get rid of Zhao Peng, Zhang Jiao, and even Mei Shiqiang and Mei Junsheng."
After the words fell, Gao Jian suddenly lost his confidence again. The confidence he had just now disappeared in an instant: "Maybe I am too confident? Seeing that you two are very young, I thought it wouldn't be a problem to play tricks in front of you.
."
"I didn't expect that one of you is actually the captain of the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch, and the other is the deputy leader of the third group of the criminal investigation team. I was really careless."
"If you had it to do over again, would you let go of these grudges?" Gu Chen also took advantage of every opportunity and asked Gao Jian.
Gao Jian was stunned there, his eyes dull, as if this question had brought him back to the ancient pagoda on Jiangxin Island.
At that time, Gao Jian himself was still standing on the windowsill of the ancient pagoda, with his toes dangling in the air, almost falling off the pagoda.
Facing the persuasion of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, Gao Jian smiled, then stepped out with his left leg, and time seemed to stand still.
My painful life suddenly appeared before my eyes like a movie reel.
When I was a child, I was bullied by senior students in school and was blocked in an alley and beaten violently. However, the figure who chased away these people was always my brother.
My family is poor and the food is not good, but my rice bowl is always filled with dishes from my brother.
She was sick at home, so weak that she was about to die. It was her brother who carried her all the way to the infirmary in the town.
In Gao Jian's impression, it seemed that he was brought up by his elder brother.
As a left-behind child, Gao Jian cannot feel the love of his parents.
At that time, my elder brother almost played the dual role of parent and elder brother.
The scene flashed across the screen. Under the loud persuasion of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, Gao Jian took back his left leg again.
This time, Gao Jian still chose to step off the window sill and face Gu Chen.
When Gao Jian opened his eyes again, he found that his shirt had already been soaked with tears.
Facing Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, Gao Jian sniffed and said, "I plead guilty."
…
…
Gao Jian's case finally came to an end, and Mei Shiqiang and Mei Junsheng were also arrested by the police because of the case that year.
In the end, the Haidong City police took him away and re-investigated the case back then, and gave Liu Zhihao an explanation.
…
…
The next morning, in the office.
Since Gu Chen had to report to Zhao Guozhi's office, Lu Weiwei came to the office early in the morning and began to organize the files consciously.
Seeing Officer Wang, He Junchao and others also coming in one after another, Lu Weiwei said with emotion: "I say Lao Wang, justice may be late, but it will never be absent. What do you understand by this?"
"Still thinking about Gao Jian's case?" The first thing Officer Wang did when he came to the office was to pick up the thermos cup on his desk, put some fresh wolfberries in it, and then walked to the water dispenser to fill it with hot water.
Lu Weiwei nodded silently and couldn't help but say: "This Gao Jian is actually quite miserable when you think about it. My brother was accidentally killed, but the murderer went free for 15 years."
"If his brother had not died, he could have used the 1 million after-tax bonus to improve his family's life."
"And it seems that life in Gao Jian's family was pretty hard back then. If..."
"There are no ifs." Before Lu Weiwei could finish her words, Officer Wang directly placed the brewed wolfberry tea on the table and complained:
"How can there be so many ifs in life? What happens happens, but the sentence you mentioned, 'Justice may be late, but it will never be absent' is also a cliché."
"In fact, in my opinion, 'justice may be late, but it will never be absent' is undoubtedly just a simple utopian legal concept."
Sitting in his seat, Officer Wang also turned around and continued to gesture: "This is just like what we people often say, 'good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil'."
"Or maybe the 'karma cycle' and the like are just people's way of saying that 'punishing evil' is delayed, and it has no practical significance at all."
"That's right." He Junchao turned on the computer and smiled jokingly: "This kind of chicken soup is just a way of celebrating that the evildoer was finally judged, but the suffering of the victim for many years is irreparable."
"Yes." Just as He Junchao finished speaking, Gu Chen walked in from outside with the information in hand.
Hearing several people discussing this issue, Gu Chen also came to the crowd and said jokingly: "Actually, if we go back to the source and explore the original text, we will find that many people in China will quote this sentence now, but in fact,
The original version of this sentence has not yet been clarified.”
"So not only is the source wrong, but what is depressing is that even the original meaning of the text has been misinterpreted."
"Then what does this sentence really mean?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously.
Gu Chen smiled faintly and explained: "What is the original meaning? It depends on the original text. In fact, the original text is actually 'Justice delayed is justice denied.'"
"It is precisely because of translation errors that this sentence is often misinterpreted, because according to the normal understanding of this sentence in the Anglo-American legal system, it should be 'delayed justice, equivalent to denying justice'."
"Or we can change the perspective and understand it as 'the delay of the law is contrary to justice.'"
“You can see this by looking up the 8th edition of Black’s Law Dictionary.”
"Justice is neither to be denied nor delayed, that is, justice cannot be denied nor delayed."
"This sentence in William Penn's "Some Fruits of Solitude in Reflections and Maxims" is considered to delay Justice is Injustice."
"And from Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" in 1963, we can clearly understand the meaning of this sentence, that is, justice too long delayed is justice denied."
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Gu Chen smiled faintly and continued to explain: "If you look through "A New Law Dictionary and Glossary" again, the sentence 'Justice delayed is justice denied' should actually be like this
extended understanding.”
"The actual emphasis is: Justice ought to be free, because nothing is more iniquitous than venal justice; full, since justice ought not be halt; and speedy, because delayed is a kind of denied."
"If translated into Chinese, it should be: justice should be free, and the worst person in the world is to bribe justice; justice should be sufficient, and it is unjust to go half a mile; justice should be timely, and if it is late, it is better to refuse justice."
"Ahem." Listening to Gu Chen's words, Officer Wang suddenly felt that his shallow opinions just now were a little unreasonable.
He Junchao was also a little embarrassed and complained: "Your Gu Chen's head is really an encyclopedia? Do you know all these things?"
"If you have been going to the library long enough, you should also know about Senior Brother He." Yuan Shasha came in from the door and happened to hear the conversation of several people, so she couldn't help but make a joke.
But when they passed Gu Chen's seat, they found that there were many more roses on Gu Chen's table.
Yuan Shasha suddenly asked Lu Weiwei with a curious look on her face: "Senior Sister Lu, have you started giving flowers to Senior Brother Gu?"
"What? Sending flowers?" Lu Weiwei's expression was stunned, and she quickly followed Yuan Shasha's gaze prompts and instantly discovered these roses.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei also looked unhappy and said jokingly: "Isn't this a gift from me?"
"It seems that they were not given by one person." Officer Wang stretched his neck and transformed into a giraffe in seconds: "Look at the colors of these flowers, they are all different, each one is different, and the categories are also uneven. It feels like they should be sent by one person.
Did you get one as a gift?"
"What?" When Lu Weiwei heard this, she quickly confirmed what Officer Wang said: "Indeed, looking at this category, it really looks like one is given to each person. Who is so bold? Dare to come to the Criminal Investigation Team to send flowers so blatantly?"
When Gu Chen noticed that everyone was looking at him strangely, Gu Chen also said innocently: "I don't know what's going on. I really don't know where these flowers come from."
"What's more, you're so good, why are you sending flowers today?"
"Because today is...520?" He Junchao suddenly realized.
Officer Wang also slapped his hands and said, "Yes, today is 520, why didn't I think of that? I didn't even buy any flowers. Your sister-in-law must be angry."
"What's the matter? Send me a 520 red envelope." He Junchao said jokingly, not taking it too seriously.
Officer Wang glared at him and said angrily: "If that's the case, then I might as well buy a bouquet of flowers to make it more practical."
"This red envelope is 520 yuan. How much of my personal money will be wasted?"
"Haha, Lao Wang, that's enough. What if I record what you just said and send it to my sister-in-law?" While He Junchao was teasing Officer Wang, he suddenly smiled and fell silent.
After a pause, he also said helplessly: "This woman has many opportunities to receive flowers in her life, but men are different."
"The first time most men receive flowers in their lives is probably on their own graves."
"What did Gu Chen say?" Officer Wang glanced at Gu Chen.
He Junchao suddenly felt like he had been hit hard by 10,000 points, and he retorted: "Can you not mention Gu Chen? Don't you know that there are two types of men in our Furong branch?"
"Which two types?" Yuan Shasha also looked curious, staring at He Junchao intently.
He Junchao said angrily: "One type of man is called Gu Chen, and the other type is called other men."
"puff!"
Hearing He Junchao's words, many old and new comrades in the office laughed.
But Lu Weiwei is not done yet.
Gu Chen suddenly received so many roses, obviously they were all from lesbians. Who gives roses to men?
But I was busy with work and forgot that today was 520. I didn't prepare anything for a while, and I felt that I was really too hasty.
Thinking about your own drawer, the only things you can grab are those snacks.
How about sending a red envelope worth 520 yuan?
Lu Weiwei immediately gave up the idea, feeling that it was too vulgar and a bit too deliberate.
Suddenly, I fell into infinite confusion.
Gu Chen also saw Lu Weiwei's depression, so he smiled slightly, picked up the flowers on the table, picked the most beautiful one and handed it to Lu Weiwei, saying: "Senior Sister Lu, this is for you."
"Give...give it to me?" Lu Weiwei's expression was stunned, feeling a little flattered.
Gu Chen nodded silently, then handed the flowers to Lu Weiwei, then walked to Yuan Shasha and handed her one as well.
Seeing that there were still flowers left in his hand, Gu Chen gave them to Officer Wang, Officer Ding, He Junchao and others.
After sending the flowers in his hands, Gu Chen returned to his seat and said with a faint smile: "I wish everyone a happy 520."
"puff!"
In the office, someone didn't know who laughed, and laughter suddenly broke out.
Maybe everyone hasn't recovered from the embarrassment just now.
Officer Wang teased He Junchao that the first flower he received was finally no longer on his grave.
He Junchao also teased Officer Wang that he could finally pass on the flowers in his hand to his sister-in-law.
Yuan Shasha was also very happy, but Lu Weiwei was the only one who was unhappy. She felt that the flower was second-hand. It was obviously given to Gu Chen by someone else, but now it fell into her own hands.
It would be okay if Gu Chen gave it to himself alone, but Gu Chen distributed all the flowers he received to everyone.
This means that you are not unique.
"Hmph!" Lu Weiwei looked angry, and immediately expressed her resentment on the date, saying: "What is 520 and not 520, isn't it made by people nowadays? Is there anything better? I don't care about this."
