Why it never ends

Chapter 144 Fair World
On the side, Si Lei looked down at his watch, and said with a smile, "I've already set a time with the Viscount on the way back. Let's go now?"

"Go," Qianye readily agreed, "I just happen to have a bunch of questions I want to ask you."

On the way from the police station to Langfang Avenue, the two were still the same as before, with Si Lei driving and Chiba sitting in the passenger seat.But this time Qianye talked a lot. She asked many details about the case, and Su Lei answered them one by one.

Although Qianye had disturbed his mood before, at this moment Si Lei still had a little respect for Qianye beside him——Qianye's question was so detailed that Si Lei could almost imagine how much she spent on studying the case materials. effort.

"Why do you think the murderer did such unnecessary things?" Chiba looked forward, as if talking to herself, "Photos are sent every day, which proves that the murderer shows up once a day. Besides increasing the risk of TA exposure, what is the value?"

"I don't know, maybe this is also a way to show one's own strength," Si Lei replied, "I have also met this kind of suspects who like to announce murders before, basically everyone is confident or narcissistic to a pathological level ——I think the detail of spilling photos this morning is quite typical, the murderer can no longer bear this murder can only be carried out in the dark, TA wants everyone to know that he is 'doing something big'."

A red light stopped Si Lei's car, and a newspaper boy ran to the middle of the road and knocked on her car window.

Su Lei quickly rolled down the car window.

"Read the newspaper, ma'am!" The newsboy held up the tabloid in his hand, "A new issue!"

Just as Si Lei was about to reprimand the two children, Qianye had already thrown two coins from his pocket, "Here is one."

"Okay!" The newsboy took the money and handed the newspaper to Chiba, "I wish the two ladies good luck today!"

"Wait, you guys—" Su Lei was about to speak, but the newsboys had already run to the window of the next car, and she poked her head out of the window, "This is very dangerous!"

Chiba patted her arm, "The light is green, friend."

Not far away, the two children also noticed the change of the traffic lights, and Su Lei followed them with his eyes. She didn't start the car until they returned to the sidewalk.

"What are their parents doing? How can they let such a young child run out to do this kind of work?" Su Lei was a little annoyed. "If they ran into the blind spot of the big car, the driver wouldn't be able to see them at all!"

Qianye didn't feel anything about it. She just glanced at the cover of the number in the hands of the two newsboys—it was an old group photo of Hoffman and Fernan. At this moment, she began to quickly read the various headlines of the newspaper, Therefore, the entire newspaper was quickly turned from beginning to end.

"Which newspaper's extra?"

""Anecdote Express"..." Chiba replied, "Have you heard the name of this newspaper?"

Su Lei shook his head, "No."

"I don't have either. It might be a newly established tabloid."

Su Lei glanced at Qianye, "What did the newspaper say? There won't be reports about the rain of photos this morning, right?"

"No, there is no mention of Viscount Rishi and several other potential victims here." Chiba turned back to the front page of the newspaper and began to read a few articles that caught his attention. Ernan and Hoffman's private life and family history have been sorted out, and it seems that they have dug up a lot of bad things they did in the past."

Speaking of this, Qianye suddenly said, "But according to this rhythm, there should be Viscount Lixi's personal exclusive number tomorrow."

"These newspapers are really interesting," Su Lei said sarcastically, "This group of people will dig out information about whoever is the victim."

Qianye looked over, "Officer Su Lei is sympathetic to them?"

"I can't say I have sympathy," Su Lei replied, "I just don't like the current atmosphere in the third district of throwing stones at victims... Have you read any noteworthy details in the newspaper?"

Chiba shrugged.

Just for a while, she had caught a glimpse of an anecdote about Fernan—according to an old servant who had followed Fernan for many years, Fernan had traveled to many wastelands in the third district several times around 4619 to replace some The master in the Habitable Land was looking for some interesting things, including the long fiery red hair of the Hesta people in the legendary fourteenth district.

This piece of information also appeared in Ava's report, although the content related to it in this newspaper was only half a sentence, but when Qianye's eyes swept over it, she still felt a little bit of heartache.

"...Not yet," Chiba replied, "From the wording, I don't think the credibility of these newspapers is very high."

"Then you still read it so enthusiastically..." Su Lei sneered, "These tabloids know how to incite the public's emotions best. Just a few words without foundation or basis, either blowing up people's hype, or demoting people to commit all kinds of evil, Why do you think so many people believe it after reading it?"

"No matter what you say, people will believe it," Qianye said. "Only 'the most perfect victim meets the most vicious murderer' can arouse the widest sympathy. Otherwise, someone will say that the victim must have done something wrong. Doomed by what he did, or the murderer himself will take half of the public's sympathy."

"is it?"

"You recall the 'Herstar' in the" Robel Case "eight years ago, and the video of the later Hersta came out in the corridor, and no one would feel bad for her anymore -because at that moment , Hesta suddenly 'get what she deserves', since she is a little girl who likes violence, then she deserves to be a mercury needle."

Su Lei was noncommittal.

Chiba turned a page, "Have you heard of the 'fair world assumption'?"

"……what?"

"It's an assumption. People who believe in this assumption usually think that the world is completely fair and just. Therefore, no one or anything around us can jump out of the "good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil"" iron law."

Si Lei laughed, obviously not convinced.

"It's not surprising that one or two idealists hold such beliefs, but to say that a considerable number of people have this tendency ... is a bit absurd."

"Where is that ridiculous?" Qianye put down the newspaper, "Didn't you just say that these newspapers only dig up information about victims?"

"What's the relationship between the two?"

"Let me put it this way... have you encountered any unwarranted disasters in the past, Officer Si Lei?"

"Yes, I have." Su Lei gave an affirmative answer.

Qianye continued, "Before it happened, did you never think that it would happen to you?"

Su Lei didn't answer right away, her hand holding the steering wheel became tighter, her eyes were staring straight ahead, as if she didn't hear Qianye's question at all.
