Unexpectedly, there were such exaggerated illegal activities behind the Nine Courses. Misappropriation of charity funds is not a small problem. Moreover, because the illegal activities of the Nine Courses have spawned more crimes, how can we reduce the crime rate?
Dulan thought that the Nine Sections were the Prime Minister's private soldiers, not the country's security force. The goal was not to fight against criminals, but to eradicate dissidents.
"As long as you get used to it, Lesson Nine still has a lot to offer and can save many innocent lives."
"But children in orphanages commit crimes because they have no money. This is simply putting the cart before the horse." Togusa couldn't help but said: "Why on earth?"
"So I still like the samurai of the past. The samurai of the past used civilians to test their swords directly and did not have such high morals. The morals of today's law enforcers are too high."
“Isn’t it a good thing to have high moral standards?”
"It's a good thing, but it also comes with a cost. A solid warehouse means you know the etiquette, and you know the honor and disgrace when you have enough food and clothing. Behind high morals are often high costs." Dulan said: "The work of the Nine Courses is just a tool to complete the task, and there is no need for thinking.
.”
"We are people, not tools."
"So if people are really troublesome, they should switch to tools and robots. Tools will not complain and will not be bound by morality." Duran said with a smile.
Togusa said: "Morality is necessary. Faced with the same behavior, morality must be used to distinguish the severity. It is different whether a person is brave enough to kill for justice or selfishly. Tools cannot distinguish between being brave and selfish.
A society that only gives out the same punishment for murder is cold and heartless, and no one will work hard for it."
"It makes sense, but unfortunately the cost of making moral judgments is too high. Tools are more cost-effective."
"Tools can never replace humans."
Dulan said calmly: "It's hard to say. Let's not argue. Let's speak with facts. Nowadays, it is a major trend for various industries to be replaced by robots. Even the Nine Classes have a large number of 'robot police officers'. There are smart tanks and female customer service robots.
Wait. Except for us living people, most of them are tools. We may also be replaced in the future."
Togusa had nothing to say. Robots are indeed everywhere, and perhaps one day they will be replaced. But at this moment, humans are still busy fighting among themselves, and there is simply no cure.
"How can humans wake up?" He felt that the crisis was right in front of him, but humans still had to fight.
Dulan thought that Togusa still didn't understand. Parliamentary system means fighting. The essence of parliamentary system is that landlords from all over the country compete for their own interests. Otherwise, why did the former Soviet Union split after the parliamentary system? It was to demonize the opponent, and people's hearts would naturally disperse.
Whether it is support and opposition to refugees, competition for the direction of electric power development, or attitudes towards robots, everyone has his or her own opinion.
Section 9 caught the children in the welfare home. Originally, these children relied on the charity budget to live, but now the budget has become the equipment of Section 9, and they can only steal. The children were taken into the detention center, and a fire broke out in the detention center. There was no suspect inside.
Spared.
When the members of Section 9 saw the news, they were dumbfounded. Is this a coincidence or man-made? They only felt desolate in their hearts, feeling that the ending of these children was a reflection of themselves.
"Why is this happening?" Togusa was shocked, and he decided in his heart that this was murder and silence, and it was definitely not a coincidence. But Section 9 was not responsible for investigating the truth about the fire.
"All dead?" Bart also felt heavy. After all, they were all innocent people.
"There is another one in the hospital, but his electronic brain has been completely destroyed by the counterattack firewall." Suzi said seriously. They can solve the case, but after the case is solved, there is still a series of darkness that they cannot touch.
Everyone unanimously suspected that someone had set the fire deliberately, because how could the detention center be burned so badly? But they had no right to investigate and could only watch the darkness swallow them up.
Togusa wanted to vomit, and a feeling of weakness invaded his whole body.
When faced with darkness, I don’t know how to change.
"Where is the section chief? He has to give an explanation!" Bart couldn't stand it anymore. He had to find an explanation and find his immediate superior immediately.
The little old man was in the office and had just received the news of the fire when he saw members of Section 9 rushing in.
Seeing their angry expressions, the section chief knew what they were going to ask. He looked at them calmly and asked, "Why are you coming here to me when you are not in your own office?"
Bart asked: "What happened to the fire in the detention center?"
"The cause of the fire is still under investigation. What do you mean by asking me? Do you suspect it has something to do with me?"
"It's either suspicion, or it has something to do with Section 9. Was the budget of Section 9 misappropriated from the charity budget? Was the charity budget originally intended for the welfare home?!" Bart asked angrily.
Togusa also asked: "What is the value of the existence of the Nine Lessons?"
The section chief looked at them calmly and said: "I can't comment on the budget. As for the purpose of the existence of Lesson 9, it is to combat high-tech crimes."
"Stop being official. I used to think that Section 9 was just about arresting criminals. Even if Section 9 cannot reduce the crime rate in the island country, at least Section 9's efforts are just. But now it is proved that the existence of Section 9 is unjust.
It is evil and is increasing the crime rate. The soil in which the Nine Lessons exist is wrong. If it is bad from the beginning, how can the Nine Lessons reduce the crime rate?!" Togusa said excitedly.
The head of the class remained calm. Although he was a gray-haired little old man, he was not afraid of the big men in the room. He just said calmly: "Lesson 9 has the meaning of existence. Lesson 9 can arrest hackers, terrorists, and spies, and it can be stable."
This country. Where there is light in a country, there is also darkness. The illusory Utopia has only light but no darkness. I hope you can have this awareness."
"This is no longer a dark issue, even the children are not spared, and the bottom line has been exceeded," Bart said.
The head teacher didn't think there was any problem and said: "Not every child has the opportunity to grow up. This is the reality. In this country, you can only drink alcohol when you are twenty years old, but there are many girls who go out to stand on the street at the age of sixteen. This is
It's reality. You can't expect every child to grow up safely. The law can only stipulate it, but its implementation requires a lot of costs. If you really care, I can arrange for you to go on patrol and persuade those errant girls on the streets to change their ways every day.
"
"..." No one expected the section chief to be so cold.
At the same time, I also know that if I go to the streets, I can only persuade one or two girls. After all, these girls stand on the streets for various reasons, such as raising cowherds and buying luxury goods. Only a few of them are because they really live in poverty. My time is limited.
When you are persuading one girl, the other girls are still doing business.
Unless all the girls are gathered together for classes, how can we get the girls to take classes together? Even if the girls are willing to take classes, then they have no money to eat. Who will pay for the food?
In short, if you really go to the grassroots level to do the work of young girls, the cost will be very high. Only one or two conscientious people can't change it at all.
The section chief looked at them and said: "I know that in your eyes, I, the section chief, must be a ruthless devil and a cold-blooded killer. But this society is like this. If you want to do grassroots work, you need a lot of money, and you can't do it.
.Since you can't do it, just do your job well. In my opinion, using charity budget to organize nine classes is more valuable than supporting orphans. Because we can't do a good job at the grassroots level, but at least we can ensure that the shock at the grassroots level will not affect
The operation of the island nation.”
Togusa couldn't help but ask: "In other words, the purpose of the Nine Lessons from the beginning was not to reduce the crime rate, but to maintain the stability of the island country? Let the high-ranking people stay put?"
"That's right." The section chief said: "It is a good thing for the island country to be able to stand still. Once there is chaos, capital flight, asset collapse, currency depreciation, and inflation, the industry of the island country will be fatally hit, and eventually it will regress to the shogunate.
Times. What do you think the children’s life will be like then?”
Everyone stopped talking.
The section chief said: "At that time, not only the children in the orphanage will not be able to survive, but most of the children, even your children will not be able to survive. So maintain the status quo, sacrifice a few children, and let
More children can live, this is the meaning of the Nine Lessons! Our Nine Lessons are a necessary evil."
