Fog Era

The Downing Street homicide was a very simple case.

The facts are clear, the traces are obvious, and there is passion to kill. There is no special plan or pre-prepared means of exemption. The whole thing is lackluster, it's not the mysterious case in detective novels at all. Not good-looking, not exciting, no mystery, no reversal.

But this is reality.

In reality, overwhelming majority homicides are of this simple and rude type.

The arrest of the suspect was faster than Cheng Long expected. Before the two of them went to investigate the Epton, the suspect was arrested.

The two returned to the police station, and Kennedy came to explain the situation.

"Sergeant Lincoln led the team to observe speeding on Westwood Street, and suddenly saw a man running naked and shouting at him. That man was Epton. It didn’t take long for Epton to run over. The suspect appeared with a knife."

Cheng Long: "Are our people injured?"

"No." Kennedy shook his head: "The suspect did not resist at all. Meaning, threw the knife on the spot and knelt on the ground."

"In other words, the man killed his wife and daughter, but let the adulterer slip away? What a shame!" Cheng Long directly put his disdain on his face: "That Epton escaped a catastrophe, really a fateful dog."

"It doesn't count." Kennedy looked embarrassed: "Ah. When Capeton appeared, he was too exaggerated and screamed naked while running. Police Lincoln regarded him as a madman who tried to attack the police with excessive drugs. He drew his gun and shot. Epton fell to the ground on the spot. He is still rescued in the hospital. I don’t know if he has medical insurance, and if he can be saved."

Cheng Long's expression was stunned: "I really want to understand why the suspect immediately threw the knife and knelt."

"Let's go." Shi Tiexin walked to the interrogation room: "Let's interrogate this suspect."

The suspect was quickly taken to the interrogation room.

The trial of him went very smoothly, or too smoothly.

The suspect is in a peculiar state of mind, neither quibbling nor concealing, what is the special cooperation? There is no need for Shi Tiexin to speak, and Cheng Long has already completed the trial.

"Name."

"Ma Zhaodong."

"Chinese?"

"Yes."

"Professional."

"Being a chef at Qingjiang Restaurant, I am good at stewing fish."

"Motivation for murder."

"My wife cheated, I I couldn’t accept it, so I quarreled with her. I didn’t want to kill, I just wanted to scare her with a knife, but I started arguing and quarreling.” Ma Zhaodong looked hollow: “At the time, I was like a demon, and I couldn’t control it at all. Myself. When came back to his senses, the big mistake was made."

Cheng Long asked a key question: "Why do you want to kill your daughter, do you suspect that your daughter is not her own?"

Speaking of this topic, Ma Zhaodong's numb face finally showed pain and regret: "No, I don't doubt, I am sure that my daughter is my daughter."

"Then why are you killing a girl?"

"Because, I am worried about her."

"What?" Shi Tiexin frowned and said, his eyes lit up: "You are worried about her, so kill her?"

"Yes." Ma Zhaodong slumped in the interrogation chair and looked up at the ceiling: "She is a weak child and has no courage to survive alone. I killed her mother and had to go to jail. How should people live outside?"

"This world is too difficult and too bitter. If no one takes care of her, how should she live? How much will she suffer? Will she suffer? Being abducted and persecuted? Will she take drugs or sell silver? I don't want her to suffer in Human World, so I just let her die ends all one's troubles and save the rest of her life."

This reason makes Cheng Long dumb, not knowing how to comment.

"Ai, police officer, what I should say is all true. Whether it is fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment, or even direct electric chair, I accept it. ."

"But police officer, I am still grateful to you. Originally, I couldn’t catch up. You didn’t expect that you killed that bastard with a single shot. It’s Heavenly Dao, it’s such a reincarnation. Heaven forgive me. Who. Since God has eyes, I deserve to be killed."

Shi Tiexin pushed the pen and leaned in the chair with a calm expression.

Ten minutes later, outside the interrogation room, Cheng Long brought a thermos cup of tea: "Boss, I don’t seem to be in a good mood. That’s right, I’ll follow you with the case these days and see the disgusting and sinful things. I always feel very depressed."

Shi Tiexin took a sip of the thermos cup as an oral liquid, and his eyes were deep: "The police are facing this world All evil, without a strong and stable will, the soul is indeed easily stained with lead and becomes darkened."

This is a common occupational confusion of the police.

Shi Tiexin's determination is already very strong, but he still has [superior feeling].

He knows that Ma Zhaodong is telling the truth, and he can feel Ma Zhaodong's love for his wife and daughter. If there is no love, there will be no madness, no hysteria, and no shattering of his sanity.

But the more so, the more it makes Shi Tiexin uncomfortable.

Shi Tiexin values ​​family, harmony between husband and wife, and love between parents and children. The stronger his love for his family and the greater his vision, the less he can see Ma Zhaodong's distortion.

Shi Tiexin thought of Chu Feiyan, that guy was dying all day long, and he even stared at him and said half-deadly, "The last thing I regret is learning the Mind System." Thinking about it today, it seems a bit clear.

But he is not Chu Feiyan after all.

His heart is much firmer, and he has no shortage of people who understand him.

Point someone to sigh in Wuxin Zen Lotus: "It is said that angels who kill the devil will eventually degenerate into a devil. I think this is not unreasonable. If things go on like this, even if they don’t degenerate, they will be anxious. There will be anger, panic, doubt, and finally lose the normal state of mind. You and I are determined and sigh, what about ordinary police?"

"Two ways." Shi Tiexin replied: "The first way is to harden the heart. The soft heart becomes hard and numb, like a thick fist honed with many calluses, and you can no longer feel the ordinary pain. The suspect is also the victim. Whatever it is, they all evolve into symbols, and if you separate yourself from those symbols in terms of mental cognition and emotional links, you will not feel it."

This is the method of the overwhelming majority front-line police.

Someone nodded, and shook his head: "It's a pity that I can't do this. If I disconnect from the victim emotionally and feel the darkness, how can I shine bright and gloomy corners? If I can’t empathize with those who are being warmed, how can the sun be just warm instead of scorching heat? The first method is not suitable for me."

"There is another way." Shi Tiexin touched the thermos. Feeling the warmth of the cup, there is a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "A lone star is facing a deadly universe. If you don't want to be swallowed by darkness, then find a light that can also illuminate you, and find your own source of warmth. "

"A person who depends on you for life and death, a person who can trust each other, has the purest, most beautiful and cleanest relationship. As long as this person is there, you will always believe in the existence of truth, kindness and beauty. , So no matter how much pollution will be purified, no matter how many clouds will be dispelled."

Someone can't help but look forward to: "I wish I could meet such a person."

"Don't worry, you will meet." Shi Tiexin touched his heart: "People who are destined will meet after all."
