Why it never ends

Chapter 160 Judgment
Su Lei didn't answer.

Stella continued: "Last year, I had the honor to interview Viscount Rishi himself. At the 'Conference on the Promotion and Protection of Children's Rights' in the third district last year, he delivered a speech of about 10 minutes as a special speaker of the conference. Speech, calling on the conference to be alert to the 'sexualization' of children in recent years. Can you imagine my mood sitting in the audience at that time?

"I asked him for a private interview that day, and asked him his opinion on sentencing for child sex crimes, and he blew up at me, said a bunch of meaningless bullshit, and at the end, he said that many people in the third district don't understand the law at all. The delicacy of the law, they just arbitrarily demand the law to be on their side: when the law is beneficial to them, they think that the law should be absolutely enforced, and any other value judgments should not be mixed in; but when the law is against When they are disadvantaged, they began to clamor that the law should not stick to the letter, but should consider whether it implements justice.

"So I asked, 'Since this is the case, what kind of voice would you prefer, Viscount, when faced with disagreements between laws and values?' Do you know how he answered me?"

Stella raised her hand, imitating Richie's action and said, "He closed his eyes, made a cross on his chest and forehead, and said to me, 'I only wait for God's will, after all, everything will be done by Him. In the final judgment, there is only one thing we should do in this world, and that is to repeatedly think and visualize two things: the starry sky above our heads, and the moral law in our hearts. They will lead us through all mysteries. "

Chiba let out a short laugh.

Su Lei looked out the window, completely losing his appetite.

Stella picked up the iron spoon at hand, and tapped her glass of sparkling water lightly, "Ladies, please look at me, I have to admit, although I used to go to mass with my father, but In fact, I never really believed in any god in my heart.

"However, I still believe that everyone will face a judgment at the end of life - it does not come from religion, but from everyone's heart. All the evil you have done and the people you have hurt will be judged Write a verdict in every detail, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, you are a bright and stalwart person, but you can't deceive yourself, you can't escape the judgment in your heart, you will clearly get your own judgment, bear it moral torment.

"But when Viscount Rishi said what he just said to me, I really understood that all this was just my own wishful thinking—in that imaginary court, there were no judges, no jurors, no lawyers... …in fact there was nothing there, there was only one person in the whole court, and that was ourselves.

"'Moral law' is really the most useless shackle in the world, it can only trap those who regard 'morality' as the guest of honor, the higher a person's moral requirements are for himself, the more 'morality' can torture him As for those demons who regard "morality" as nothing, all "moral laws" will only prostrate at their feet flatteringly, like a begging dog-these people can shout at it and manipulate it at will Its measure. They can hold a cross and play saints when they need it, and they throw away these things when they don't.

"As long as you hold power and despise the suffering of others, then the world is free for you - that's how those well-dressed, high-ranking men who claim to be gentlemen all day long live their lives. Their happiness and freedom are beyond the reach of others. Unbelievable!"

Stella looked at Si Lei, "Just now you asked me, since I have promised Heinz, why should I tell you these things, I tell you, no reason, I just want to tell, I just want to You know, when I learned that the investigator from the core city this time is a woman, especially after I checked your resume—"

"You don't need to call me 'you' anymore, it sounds weird," Su Lei gently scratched his hair, "Call me Si Lei."

That night, Si Lei sat on the sofa in the living room and finished reading Stella's manuscript. It took about an hour before and after, and the written records made her scalp tingle.Although the crimes in the text are extremely cruel, there is nothing new—they can be found everywhere in some wastelands today, but Su Lei can't imagine that they will happen in habitable land, especially Tan Yi.

These interviews... all need to be verified.

Su Lei asked Stella several times if she could keep copies of these manuscripts, but she promised not to spread them to the outside world, but Stella firmly refused.

As the time approached eleven o'clock, Su Lei had to return to the team.She silently recorded the stories and key clues of the 17 victims recorded in the notebook, and then returned the notebook to Stella.

When going out, Stella also put on her coat, and Su Lei was a little surprised, "Are you going with us too?"

"I'm going back to the newspaper." Stella put on her scarf. "Just now my colleague sent a message saying that there seems to be something wrong with the printing ink. I have to go back and have a look."

"I'll drive her there," Chiba replied, "I won't delay you."

"There's no delay, just take my car."

"Huh? I have a pass too—"

"Even if you have a pass, it's still too eye-catching to drive around in a private car tonight." Si Lei had already put on her leather boots, kicked her feet, and said in a low voice, "That's it."

Stella clasped her hands together: "Thank you!"

……

The police car was driving on the empty street. Su Lei and Qianye sat in the front row, and Stella sat in the back. Whenever she saw a patrolling guard, she immediately knelt down.

"No need to do this..." Qianye turned her head, "If you are really scared, let's stop the car, and you can go to the trunk and lie down for a while."

Su Lei laughed out loud, and she looked at Stella in the rearview mirror, "Just sit still, you sneaky ones, you won't be able to tell if you get caught."

"Is it like this?" Stella supported the beret on her head with a surprised expression, "I thought I would cause you trouble if I was discovered?"

"It's okay." Qianye looked at the road ahead, "If you are discovered, I will hand it over to Si Lei to fix it. He is a professional."

Si Lei glanced at Qianye, she had a faint feeling that Qianye seemed to like pushing her to the front to top the tank - this was not the first time.

When the vehicle passed the intersection with a red light, even though there were no pedestrians at all tonight, Su Lei stopped the car.

Chiba looked left and right, hesitant to speak.

"Stella, can I ask you a few questions?" Su Lei asked suddenly.

"of course can."

"Two years ago, why did you change jobs?" Su Lei asked, "It should be quite difficult to get into a big newspaper like "Unyielding Daily", right?"
