Jia Ru can come back

Chapter 127 Outside the Law
After a pause for a while, I met Xiao Dong's gaze again: "From another perspective, why did the firefighters rush in to fight the fire when they knew the flames were growing wildly ahead? Did they consider that there would be a second explosion? Are you telling them to wait? There is a common saying that I believe everyone here has heard: Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, you will go to the mountains of tigers. These armed police soldiers are like this. They are always at the forefront of dangerous disaster relief, even if they die No matter what, I don’t want to give too many examples like this.”

I lowered my eyes suddenly, and said softly but with a serious tone: "If such a person does not get the respect they deserve after sacrifice, then no one will be willing to contribute to this society in the future, and it will only chill people's hearts."

Faith is something that can be influenced by people.

In the past, I might have the same idea as my colleagues, rationally viewing the incident from a legal perspective.But since Zhou Yu conveyed his ideas to me, it is difficult to examine and measure the situation without his influence.

In the end Xiao Dong announced the end of the meeting and asked me to stay by roll call.

After all his colleagues walked out of the conference room, Xiao Dong asked, "When did you become so emotional?"

"Emotional? I don't think so."

Xiao Dong smiled, "If you put morality before the law, it will be unfair."

"But is the so-called justice based on two lives willing to dedicate themselves to the society?"

Xiao Dong laughed: "Jia Ru, you still don't admit that you are emotional. To put it bluntly: firefighters rushing into the fire pit to fight the fire is driven by a sense of mission, being a good policeman requires a sense of justice, and the law is above everything else." Yes. There is no morality and justice in front of the law, it only has fairness and justice. To put it bluntly, the law is a machine without emotion, used to restrain and regulate society and people.”

Xiao Dong said that this was just an internal meeting discussion, and hoped that I would not make similar mistakes next time.I want to say that the law is nothing more than human feelings, but when I say it, I change it to: "Find an opportunity to visit the family members of the deceased. This is also the obligation of our courts, and we must also listen to the voices of the people."

Xiao Dong raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and walked out of the meeting room.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, Xiao Dong took me out of the court and went straight to the firefighters' home.The first firefighter I went to was Wang Shanxi, who was 22 years old and still unmarried, with both parents still alive.

When Wang Shanxi's parents heard that we were from the court, they nervously let us into the room, made some tea, and then sat down timidly.The two of them should have been around 50 or [-] years old, but their hair was half white, and their brows were filled with sorrow.

A young black and white photo hangs in the middle of the room, it can be said that the boy in the photo is handsome.

Xiao Dong asked some questions, basically Wang Shanxi's father was answering, and his mother was beside him wiping tears.When I left, the atmosphere in the whole room was very gloomy. The pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man can only be understood by experiencing it personally.

Immediately afterwards we went to the second house. Another firefighter who died was named Du Xiao, aged 27, who just got married last year.The door was opened by a pregnant woman who was Du Xiao's wife.We heard that the court came, and the other party's awareness of prevention was stronger than that of the old man before, so he asked us to show our ID before letting the door open.

Besides her, there were two old people in the house, one was a middle-aged woman who looked slightly older, and the other was an old woman with white hair.When I walked in, my heart sank. How would a pregnant woman with a big belly and two old widows live?
Xiao Dong still asked those questions routinely, and it was Du Xiao's wife who answered them.The other two are Du Xiao's mother and Du Xiao's grandmother, and his father was also a soldier in his early years and died during a disaster relief.

In contrast, the mood of this family is relatively calm.When Du Xiao's wife answered our questions, the two elders just sat and listened, and neither of them cried.There was sorrow in their expressions, but it was not expressed.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and it was Du's mother who got up to open it. She heard Du's mother standing by the door and said, "Zhou Suo, why are you bringing so many things here again?" I looked around and saw Zhou Yu walking away from the door. Come in.

He was also taken aback when he entered the door and saw us, but quickly regained his composure.

Du's mother introduced to him: "These two are from the court and asked about Xiaoxiao."

Judging from the familiar attitude of the Du family and Zhou Yu, this should not be the first time he came to express condolences.Du Xiao's wife got up and took the things in his hand, and said politely: "Zhou Suo, you have a heart."

Zhou Yu glanced at me before replying, "No, it just so happens that my wife is also pregnant, so I know what nutrients pregnant women should supplement."

Hearing this, I went to pay attention to the things he was carrying, and found that besides a box of imported kiwi fruit, there were also two cans of milk powder for pregnant women, and some other calcium supplements.

Mother Du took up the conversation: "Blessed is anyone who becomes Zhou Suo's lover."

I felt very uncomfortable, and got up from my chair, "The investigation is almost here, and I will come back later if necessary."

From the corner of the eye, Xiao Dong curved his lips slightly, but he also got up with me to say goodbye to the Du family.When we were about to leave, we heard that Zhou Yu was not staying anymore, so the three of them came out of Du's house one after another. When we got downstairs, Zhou Yu asked, "Why are you coming here?"

"After our court got the case, it is natural to make a routine visit." Xiao Dong responded to him very officially.

Zhou Yu didn't move his brows either, and asked in a low voice, "Did you draw any conclusions after the visit?"

Xiao Dong smiled secretively and said: "We made the visit according to the formality. After getting a general understanding of the situation, we went through judicial procedures and scheduled a public trial. As for the conclusion, it is natural to judge in court based on the evidence given by the police and the testimony of the complainant. from."

It is basically impossible to get anything out of Xiao Dong's mouth, it can be said that his speech is tight.

Zhou Yu looked at me directly, "What about you, what do you think?"

As soon as I was about to speak, Xiao Dong cut me off: "Zhou Suo, Jia Ru is a qualified lawyer in our court, and will be a new prosecutor in the near future. She will naturally uphold the fairness and openness of the law and hold court sessions in the case." I'm afraid it's not easy to answer too many personal questions of yours."

Visibly seeing the flash of anger in Zhou Yu's eyes, he still restrained himself, and then spoke in a cold tone: "Prosecutor Xiao, there is human nature behind the justice of the law. The two families you visited on a routine basis are not serious crimes Criminals, but the family members who lost their sons and husbands, the elderly are gray-haired, and their wives are about to give birth. Do you think they are trying to make money? Huh..."

Zhou Yu ended the topic with a sarcasm, and went straight to his car.

Watching his car gradually drive away, I felt a little depressed, and I didn't say anything from the beginning to the end.

On the way back, I saw Xiao Dong's expressionless face, showing neither joy nor anger, so I couldn't help but ask, "Do you still think that this case should go through judicial procedures as a matter of course?" Drink: "Jia Ru! We are the judiciary. What's the use of the law if every case is based on human relationships?"

My heart sank, what he said was not wrong, but...

"You have to remember that what we hold in our hands is the law, and what we judge is the crime and punishment, and there is no room for the slightest mistake. Whether you or Zhou Yu ask me the same question, my answer is the same."

After a while of silence, he replied lightly, "I see."

But when the car parked in the parking lot of the court, Xiao Dong turned around and said to me: "However, the possibility you raised at yesterday's meeting may not be able to be discussed in court. Now I need to know about the chemical plant produced. How dangerous is the raw material, and whether it is suitable for production in residential areas. If it is really a gas that can be ignited by an open flame, then it is not just a matter of reviewing compensation, it may be a matter of focusing on the chemical plant. "

I was overjoyed, this means there is a turning point?Hastily said: "I'll let Xiao Zhou call to ask."

The quality inspection report of a chemical factory should be particularly rigorous. If the chain is lost at this level, there will be more things and people involved behind it.

Afterwards, Xiao Dong also asked me, did he feel that he was very unreasonable?I thought for a while, and my answer was: put other people's favors on your face, and his favors in your heart.

I remember that in the case of Li You, when the Zhang family did not pay the corresponding compensation according to the verbal promise, it was Xiao Dong who contacted Zhang.Otherwise, Zhang Jiahao might not be able to help Li You through crowdfunding so smoothly.

This is what Xiao Dong convinced me. He could have been slick in the workplace, but he chose this job that is inhumane in the eyes of outsiders. While adhering to principles, he is not really ruthless.

This case was temporarily suppressed as the scope of the investigation became wider, and the court would not be opened until all relevant materials and evidence were listed.Originally, I was supposed to keep an eye on the financial case from years ago, but unexpectedly Zhou Yu approached me first.
