Chapter 59(1/2)
Cleaning Up
At four o'clock in the morning, in Yixin Community, the county seat of Yuanhe County, a series of phone rings woke up Yang Lin, who was still sleeping.
MiMi stared at the caller ID and found that it was an unfamiliar number, probably from a public phone. After he answered the call, he fell out of bed without feeling sleepy after just hearing one sentence.
"I'll be right over!"
Just one word from the person on the phone made the captain rush out of the house alone in the early morning.
Before leaving, he also fastened his gun belt around his waist.
After walking a few hundred meters, we came to a park path on the east side of the community. There was only one street lamp standing alone, and there was also a figure standing under the lamp.
Yang Lin was a little confused and walked closer. When he saw the person under the lamp clearly, he was immediately surprised: "Why is it you!"
"Li Heng?"
Li Heng nodded lightly and said, "It's me."
Yang Lin's confusion became even deeper. It was still dark, so why did this man come over? Moreover, what he said on the phone made him very concerned.
“You can try it”
He understood the meaning of Li Heng's words, and he also felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of things beyond his cognition.
He lowered his head and stroked the gun body and asked coldly.
"Then you came here to kill me too?"
"Killing! This is a crime! This is an act that must be punished by law!"
At this moment, he felt like he was seeing a ghost, as if everything just now was an illusion, otherwise why would such a big living person suddenly evaporate in front of his eyes?
Suddenly he felt something strange moving on his waist. He looked down and found that the gun he had been wearing on his waist was missing.
"That's not what I fucking said!"
He held his forehead and half-closed his eyes and began to think about the logic. Although he still maintained a skeptical mind, he could not stand the facts before him.
Li Heng opened the safety of the gun so that it could truly fire and kill people by pulling the trigger, and then handed it to Yang Lin with his backhand.
Li Heng took a gentle breath, and the next moment the air where he was trembled, and then his figure disappeared out of thin air.
Yang Lin was angry, although he was still suppressing his anger.
Not in the mood to reminisce about old times, Yang Lin asked directly: "You said on the phone that you had clues about the leader of the firearms smuggling gang?!"
Li Heng said calmly, his eyes as clear as two lights in a mirror.
Yang Lin was shocked: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Because my requirements for you are different from theirs."
"If this is the case, then maybe as you said, you have the qualifications to escape from legal regulations, but you will also lose the asylum of the entire human society. Do you want to be a collective enemy of this entire order?"
After half a minute, he slowly came over. He didn't make a fuss or panic, but his face became cold and his tone was no longer gentle: "Did you kill them?"
Yang Lin felt confused for a while, but he still frowned and took the gun, his eyes falling on the gun body with the safety open.
"One code equals one code. Their crimes are a matter of law and there are judicial checks and balances. But if you take action, it is also a violation of the law!"
When he looked up again, he saw a dark hole facing him, with a cold metallic aura. Yang Lin swallowed subconsciously.
Listening to Li Heng's rapid-fire words with almost no pause, Yang Lin was stunned. The amount of information was too large for him to digest at once.
Yang Lin asked in a low voice.
Yang Lin, who had been listening to Li Heng's words, frowned and remained silent. After a long silence, he whispered: "You mean I would do this if I had the same power as you?"
"Their lives can only die once, and I even think it's too cheap."
"But you did it anyway!"
Yang Lin looked at Li Heng with incredibly complicated eyes: "Is there really such a thing in the world...the so-called...'superhuman'?"
"You don't know what kind of person Zhao Liuhe is. You also know this criminal leader well. You can get a glimpse of the current situation of Yuanhe County under Zhao Liuhe's strife for decades just from the information, right?"
Li Heng's answer was very straightforward.
"Well, don't worry, I have arranged the scene properly. Both of them were shot to death. At least it seems that they died because of internal strife because the business failed to be settled."
Yang Lin asked seriously, but there was no fear on his face.
Li Heng did not feel any mood swings due to the other party's anger. He was as calm as water from beginning to end and spoke.
"Or are you so emboldened that you are confident that you can challenge public order and the laws of your country?!"
"I won't do such meaningless things"
"You won't do this"
Yang Lin shook his head and pressed his temples, feeling painful and helpless. He didn't know what to say to this young man to make him understand.
"Do what I want, take these evidences, go to the Linshui Villa, take care of this case of "collusion between rich people and criminals", and then prepare for your promotion journey."
Yang Lin:!!
Yang Lin felt a surge of anger in his chest. He wanted to retort loudly: I am a people's police officer, I have my own bottom line, and I will not break the law without knowing it!
However, in the end, he still couldn't roar out, and the breath in his chest was released.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Yang Lin finally gave up with a wry smile.
His eyes were piercing, shooting straight into the depths of Yang Lin's eyes, as if he could see everything hidden in his heart.
"That's right"
"Do you think this is a chivalrous act? You are just responding to violence with violence, it is an abuse of lynching."
"perhaps"
"It is also this nature that led you to embark on the path of fighting crime and protecting the people. Maybe you thought that you would be able to firmly protect your original intention after embarking on this path, but the more cases you solve, the faster you get promoted, but you find that you We are becoming more and more powerless. Some things cannot be changed by just a policeman with a righteous heart."
"I know"
Yang Lin said with a cold face: "The law is the cornerstone of the operation of this society. It is the bottom line that all human beings in this entire collective must abide by, and it is also the layer of protection for everyone. Although it is limited, it must not be easily exceeded."
He looked at this friend he had just made, this young man he admired so much, and expressions of indignation and regret alternated across his face, making his face look a little distorted.
"no need"
"And the law exists to prevent lynching!"
Li Heng said categorically.
"Why? Aren't you afraid that I will expose your existence? Expose your abnormality to the entire society, use the power of the state machine to suppress you, arrest you or even turn you into an experimental subject?!"
Li Heng shook his head: "You can't convince yourself, I know your resume."
"Wait...wait..."
He then added: "What do you think the law is?"
Li Heng pointed his own gun at him, and the two of them faced off under the deserted streetlight, so quiet that it seemed as if the air had frozen.
"That's right"
Yang Lin's eyes widened immediately as he took the sealed bag, looked through the contents and asked, "Where's that guy? Where's the leader? Did you collect these? This is too dangerous!"
"That's right"
Li Heng nodded, and then took out a sealed bag from behind. After opening it, there were a dozen stacked documents and several cold and dark murder weapons.
He shook his head and wondered whether the world was in chaos somewhere, or whether he was in chaos.
Li Heng nodded to express his agreement with his point of view: "Law is the binding force within the human collective, and it is also the law for human individuals to protect themselves. But... what if this object is not a human being, or has a different existence from human beings?
"
"Why?!" Yang Lin's voice became excited, "Why do you judge my will? I am a member of this society, one of the ordinary people in this country, and a people's police officer! With me
It is my duty to expose dangerous aliens like you!"
"Are you asking me to shoot?"
Li Heng naturally does not have any special powers such as seeing through human thoughts, but his mental power is as high as 162 at the moment, and his spiritual will is much beyond ordinary people. It is not difficult for him to understand others.
"Although you have been turbulent in troubled times for many years, I can see that you still uphold some primitive and persistent justice. This is your original heart, and you cannot lose it to this day."
"dead"
"So you are even willing to accept the transfer order to such a marginal county. In the final analysis, it is precisely because you cannot accept the justice that annihilates the original persistence in your heart. You can only choose to use procedural justice to cover your extravagant hopes."
Yang Lin was speechless for a moment. He couldn't even continue speaking. Thinking about his previous actions at this moment, he even felt a strong sense of betrayal.
"You!! I..."
Yang Lin felt guilty for a moment when he looked at him with his eyes, as if these eyes had the power to break through all obstacles.
Click——
"I told you, this is meaningless"
Li Heng replied softly.
