Why it never ends

Chapter 145 General Method
"Officer Su Lei?"

"……Um."

"After something happened, did you find a lot of time points that might prevent it from happening, even if you fully understand in your heart that even if you go back to those moments and rewrite history, you may not always be able to guarantee future success. The same thing will never happen again in my life."

Su Lei was silent for a moment, "...Yes."

"One reason." Qianye flipped through the newspaper again, completely ignoring the changes on Si Lei's side, "Today, which children were born in the wilderness, which children were born in a livable place, and who would go out shopping?" When I was accidentally hit on the head by a flower pot falling from the sky, who would catch up with car accidents, landslides, floods, fires, who would suddenly suffer from incurable diseases, who would be robbed and killed in broad daylight... None of them knew anything about it until it happened.

"Everyone's life is full of unpredictable unknowns, because all misfortunes may come suddenly when he is unprepared, but no one wants to be the one who bears the misfortune... So what should we do? "

"It's nothing more than being more careful." Su Lei said in a low voice, "If it has already happened, then don't worry about it, and spend your energy on finding a solution."

Qianye smiled, "Your answer is quite good, but it will increase the cost of living a lot, and besides, many disasters are indeed low-probability events."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Si Lei asked sideways.

"Just fabricate some cause and effect." Qianye said softly, "If the victim really did nothing wrong, and these misfortunes still came to his door, it means that similar bad luck is also possible one day , without warning, to 'me' and those around 'me' - this is the most painful and powerless situation.

"But what if the victim did something wrong? Then the pain can be relieved a lot. Because it is no longer an accident that 'I' can't control, because as long as 'I' and the people around 'me' don't make the victim's crime If I make a 'wrong', then the disaster will never happen to 'me'.

"Thus, people have a general method to resist all misfortunes: 'I' don't have to have any sympathy for others, and I don't have to expect any changes in the world. On the contrary, I just need to scold those who make mistakes, Or find a scapegoat to take responsibility for it all, and when 'justice' is served, I'll be safe again—"

Before the word "full" was finished, Su Lei suddenly stepped on the brakes: two teenagers holding newspapers ran onto the road from the corner of the street without warning, and they obviously didn't expect a car to rush from the corner. come out.

After the car stopped, Si Lei looked ahead in shock.

Due to the timely braking, the two children were not injured, but the slightly thinner one was still frightened by the sudden accident and fell to the ground, and the children beside him quickly helped him up.

"Look," Qianye laughed, "you were driving the car in a good manner, and suddenly two people rushed onto the road, almost causing you to get into a car accident - could you think of such a thing before you go out today?"

Si Lei glared at Qianye.

She parked the car steadily on the side of the road, then unbuckled her seat belt and opened the door to get out of the car. Two minutes later, Qianye saw Si Lei handcuffing the two children to the iron fence on the side of the road. She reprimanded them with a serious expression, and the two children lowered their heads without saying a word.

After a while, Chiba also got out of the car and watched the excitement.The two children kept begging for mercy and yelled "Auntie, Auntie" at Su Lei, but Su Lei was as cold as a wolf grandmother, and scolded: "I will ask you one last time, what are your parents' names and where do you live?"

The two children looked at each other and fell silent.

"Don't say it? Don't say it, I will arrest you all now and go to the prison!"

The two children raised their heads in horror, and turned their gazes to Qianye in unison.

"I testify," Chiba raised her hands above her head in a gesture of surrender, "she is really a policeman."

From begging to give up struggling, the two children finally confessed their parents' names and contact information.Su Lei first called the parents of the children, and then drove them to a nearby security point. After handing over the children and their parents' contact information to the police officers on duty, the two returned to the police station together. On the way.

"Look," Su Lei said coldly, "at least they have learned their lesson now."

"What's the use of you teaching them? Today you sent them home, tomorrow—"

"Qianye." Si Lei interrupted her.

"Ok?"

"Has anyone ever told you that you're particularly long-winded?"

"No." Qianye unfolded the newspaper in her hand again, with a smile in her eyes, "I don't talk much, and I usually don't take the initiative to talk to people."

There was finally a brief silence in the car.

When the car had driven near Viscount Rich's mansion, Su Lei parked the car beside the road, but after pulling out the key, she was still sitting in the driver's seat, looking ahead without saying a word.

Chiba was still reading the newspaper and did not get out of the car.

"Perhaps you are right to some extent." Su Lei said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"Some misfortunes are indeed unpredictable," Su Lei said in a low voice, "but even so, people will still take the initiative to find ways to avoid disasters that do not exist, not to mention fabricating some causal relationships... On a larger scale, all religions Isn't that the same thing?"

"Let me make it clear," Qianye's gaze was still wandering in the finely detailed text, "I haven't expressed any opinions of my own so far, it's just that the journey is boring, and I'm just flirting with you."

Su Lei choked on his chest—the evasion in this person's words was in stark contrast to her arrogant attitude of not caring much about everything.

"Okay, okay," Su Lei sneered, "You don't have to clean yourself up too much, who isn't living with a little hallucination... haven't you fabricated any 'illusions' for yourself?"

"Yes." Chiba's mouth slightly raised, and she rolled the newspaper into a scroll with a clatter, "but my hallucinations have always been more real."

Si Lei said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about this case again. Whether it is the past or the present, I don't care how much bitterness there is behind those murderers. I don't care what other people say. No criminal should escape the punishment of the law. Since he killed People, I have to catch him out, if he escapes, it is my negligence!"

Qianye was silent for a moment, the original playful expression dissipated a bit, and looked at Si Lei for a while, and his expression became a little serious.

"It's good to have someone like you to be a policeman...but it seems that you should be a judge."

"Come on, please forgive me." Su Lei unbuckled his seat belt and opened the car door. "I don't want to spend a lot of time sitting in front of the desk and chewing those voluminous legal codes—come on, we're here."
