"The reason why you are confused is because you know that Xiaozhuang will die in prison, right?" He Xie asked again.
This time, Li Ying's expression finally changed slightly. He didn't expect that He Xie really understood him.
Even Xiaozhuang was moved and looked at Li Ying.
He always thought that Li Ying was just a perseverant person, and he wanted to bring himself to justice just because this was his criterion and bottom line for doing things, but he did not expect that Li Ying would have such worries.
He had already seen the answer on Li Ying's face.
"Last year, the British officially abolished the death penalty law." Li Ying sighed and continued, "I know very well that because Wang Hai can afford a good lawyer, no matter what he does, he will be punished after a few years in prison. Find a way out, but as long as Xiaozhuang goes to jail, he will be dead, Wang Hai will definitely kill him, no one can help him, and I can't watch him all the time."
"This is not the justice I want," Li Ying shook his head sadly, "I don't know what to do. Maybe what I have insisted on all along is simply wrong."
"It's not you, it's not the law, and it's not the world that's wrong." He Xie smiled, "It's just that the world you know is different from reality. You have two ways now, either compromise with reality and give up your persistence. Justice. Or stick to your own justice and correct the world."
"How to correct it?" Li Ying looked at He Xie.
"If I don't go to hell, who will?" He Xie looked at him deeply, "You told me before that justice is worth seeking. You know that the law cannot give you the justice you want, so why bother? Follow it strictly? If you do this, you will only spend your life in entanglement and pain, and you will never see the answer you want."
Li Ying's expression slowly became serious as he thought about what He Xie was going to say.
"You want me to bypass the law and use my own principles to uphold justice?" he asked.
"I'm a policeman." He said, as if reminding He Xie and himself.
"This is the most ingenious thing." He Xie said with a smile, "Your status as a police officer gives you the right to punish rape and eliminate evil, and your conscience and your kindness support your reason for seeking justice."
"What about the law?" Li Ying asked slowly.
"The law is a good tool, and you must maintain it." He Xie said with a smile, "The law deserves to be respected because it ensures the order of the world and fairness for the vast majority of people, but you have to admit that the law is not omnipotent. Yes, there are many people who can take advantage of it and escape from it."
Li Ying continued to listen.
"You are confused now just because your thinking is too limited." He Xie chuckled and said, "The justice you yearn for should actually be a supplement to the law. There is no contradiction between them."
"Some people should be imprisoned for life, but they escape legal punishment. Then you should let them receive more severe punishment and let them know that if they do not abide by the law, the consequences will be more serious." He Xie said, "A punishment that is more severe than life imprisonment. , what else?”
Li Ying was silent.
Death penalty, only death penalty.
"Some people don't deserve to die, and even the law thinks they don't deserve to die, but the reality is that he is dead." He Xie continued, "At this time, the justice you insist on must find a way, how to make this person both Paying the price for what he has done can also protect his right to continue living given by the law."
At this point, He Xie spread his hands and said with a smile: "So you see, your entanglement is actually unnecessary. The justice you insist on in your heart is actually a more perfect human law."
"But the law does not give me the right to live or die!" Li Ying stared into He Xie's eyes and said, "Am I necessarily right? If I do something wrong, who will punish me?"
"This goes back to the question I originally asked you." He Xie said leisurely, "You have to ask yourself, do you believe in the law or justice?"
"If you believe in the law, then justice is just the added value brought by the law, and you should not demand that it must exist; if you believe in justice, then the law is just a tool you use to achieve justice."
After a pause, He Xie said with a smile: "I have only heard of people improving tools, and I have never heard of tools controlling people. As for if you are afraid of doing something wrong, then you should never do it, because people must have some mistakes when doing things.
The probability is that you will make a mistake. The only thing you can do is to act with caution and respect life."
Li Ying's face looked gloomy for a long time. He looked at He Xie and suddenly smiled bitterly.
"Uncle Da, your point of view is really crazy and dangerous." He said, "There is a voice telling me that it is wrong for you to think so, but unfortunately, I can't tell what is wrong."
"This is because you look at yourself from a macro perspective, or from a third-party perspective," He Xie smiled, "For this world, for anyone, even me and Xiaozhuang
, everyone will think that what you do is wrong, and no one will think that you are qualified to do justice for heaven. When the whole world thinks that you are wrong, and only you think that you are right, will you compromise and waver, or will you stick to yourself?"
"You have to ask yourself, if the whole world thinks you are wrong, do you still want the justice you insist on?" He Xie looked at Li Ying and finally said.
These words completely stopped Li Ying's heart, which was already shaking because of what He Xie said.
Which one is wrong between me and the world?
Am I really qualified to be a supplementer and perfecter of the law?
If I do this, will I turn into an angel or a devil?
Li Ying's heart stirred up huge waves. His eyes unknowingly looked at the statue of Jesus in the middle of the church, and he suddenly began to murmur: "I saw the Lord sitting on a high throne. His clothes hung down, covering the entire church.
Temple. On top of it stood the seraphs, each with six wings. He used two wings to cover his face, two wings to cover his feet, and two wings to fly..."
"The Lord sent him to help those in need of salvation. He is the embodiment of pure goodness, so he will never tolerate the existence of evil. He represents the blazing and shining stars, punishing the guilty. He is the last barrier in the world..."
"Seraph...Seraph" Li Ying suddenly took a deep breath, and his expression gradually became firm.
"Uncle Da, you are right!" His eyes were bright, and his expression was faintly filled with madness, determination, excitement, and excitement.
"Now that I have determined justice, I should pursue it at all costs! I shouldn't worry too much, because justice will never be wrong!" He said, "Uncle Da, starting from today, I will become a Seraph.
, to punish all evil in the world!"
"Uncle Da, I know what you are capable of. Please help me become a Seraph!"
