Chapter 102: No Light in the Sky 31 This is our duty
Chapter 31
"Your so-called justice is not justice. God is not on your side, otherwise we would not have found you."
Yang Chuan shrugged indifferently, "At least what I do is meaningful. After half a year, the bullying in school has been reduced."
Lu Changfeng asked: "When did you join the Judge, and how did you join?"
"I won't tell you. I know you police officers think we are disturbing public order and want to catch us all in one fell swoop."
Yang Chuan looked at Lu Changfeng with pride, "I am proud of my identity because my actions have really reduced school bullying to a certain extent."
"No judge will betray our organization. Don't even think about getting any information about the judges from me."
Lu Changfeng had expected this, "Have you ever thought about your parents? They raised you up and hoped that you would have a bright future. You impulsively killed Tang Wenxuan and the others, and now you no longer have a future."
Thinking of his parents, Yang Chuan's eyes became moist.
Lu Changfeng struck while the iron was hot: "Your so-called eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, and violent suppression may be effective for a while, but in the long run, the social system will suffer a severe blow. When society deteriorates, it will affect everyone. There should be many young people like you among you. You have not completely lost hope in life. If you sacrifice your own life to achieve your so-called justice, what will your family do?"
Yang Chuan looked at Lu Changfeng who was talking about principles non-stop, and he totally disagreed with what Lu Changfeng said: "Then what do you think we should do? What should we do in the face of school violence? There is no absolute fairness in this world. The maximum sentence for school violence is not the death penalty, but for the victims of school bullying, the memories of the bullying and the physical and mental damage caused to them will accompany them for the rest of their lives. What's more, the maximum sentence for underage school bullying that causes death is only more than ten years. If you show positive behavior, you can get a reduced sentence, and you may be released in the last few years. But the bullied will lose their lives forever, and a family will be broken up. Where is the so-called fairness?"
Lu Changfeng said: "The reason why minors can be given lighter or reduced punishments is because their thoughts and social concepts are not yet established, they do not have full civil capacity, and are easily interfered with by the outside world. The principle of education as the main method and punishment as the auxiliary method is also to give minors a chance to reform. If they are adults with full civil capacity, they will of course be severely punished."
Yang Chuan sneered, "I haven't seen what you call severe punishment. What I've seen is that every year, there are murderers who kill people for various reasons, but very few are actually sentenced to death."
"Among nearly 200 countries in the world, only one-third of them retain the death penalty. Being cautious about the death penalty also reflects respect for life. No one should easily deprive others of their lives."
"Murderers can easily take away the lives of their victims without having to pay for it with their own lives." Yang Chuan found it funny. "Instead of seeking justice for the deceased, they consider the life of the murderer. The murderer did not consider these things when he took away the life of the victim."
Lu Changfeng said, "There are many types of murder, such as manslaughter and intentional murder. One is subjective and the other is accidental. The two cannot be generalized. They are both murders. If the two are measured by the same standard, it would be unfair. Criminal law is the foundation of the country. It is natural to protect the rights and interests of everyone. It cannot be generalized."
"The sentencing standards for intentional homicide are death penalty, life imprisonment, and fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years. With the rapid development of society today, a person who has been imprisoned for ten years will be completely out of touch with society. Most people who have served their sentences will find it difficult to thrive in society. Society is prejudiced against such people. Such prejudice and hostility are also one of the consequences of crime and often accompany one's whole life. Intentional homicide is also divided into many categories, with different motives and methods of killing, which will affect the sentencing standards."
"According to your thinking, if someone kills someone, he should be punished with death. Should manslaughter and self-defense also be punished with death?"
Yang Chuan: “…”
In a country with a population of more than one billion, every rule should be as detailed as possible and should be responsible to every individual.
Extremely vicious murderers account for a very small proportion of all homicides. Most homicides have causes and consequences. If we do not consider the cause and effect and judge purely based on life and death, that is not fair.
Except for self-defense, no matter what the reason for killing, there will be a corresponding price to pay.
Criminal law may not be perfect, but it is also improving with the progress of society.
During the verbal confrontation with Yang Chuan, Lu Changfeng had completely figured out Yang Chuan's thoughts.
Yang Chuan's point of view seems very reasonable, but it is not tenable.
The core principle pursued by the judges is to fight violence with violence. However, after thousands of years of argumentation, it has been found that fighting violence with violence is not an effective means to maintain social stability in the long run. On the contrary, it will intensify the process of intensified contradictions and even expand the severity of the situation.
In the several cases involving judges that we have handled in the past, almost everyone believed that their actions were saving society, but they were unable to recognize that their actions were violent and might very well lead to more serious violence, yet they all turned a blind eye to this.
Some of them truly believe that what they are doing is acting in the name of justice.
Some people seek a reasonable outlet for their inner violence, beautify their behavior, and use justice to disguise their reasons for killing.
After leaving the interrogation room, Lu Changfeng was still thinking about the logic behind these people's behavior.
Jing Jue followed Lu Changfeng and said, "I need to reflect on myself."
Lu Changfeng made a puzzled sound and looked at Jing Jue strangely, "What are you reviewing?" As far as he could remember, Jing Jue hadn't done anything bad recently.
Jing Jue took two quick steps to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lu Changfeng, speaking without much confidence, "I've actually been wavering. Sometimes I think the judges are really just in doing this. Of course, I think they should pay the price for their actions, but I think their violent behavior does have a certain deterrent effect on society."
Lu Changfeng didn't know what to say for a moment and chose to remain silent.
Jing Jue was a little panicked, and immediately explained: "I know I shouldn't waver, and I am no longer wavering. From your and Kong Weiling's analysis of issues like domestic violence and divorce, to your and Yang Chuan's analysis of violence causing death today, I have found my direction again. There is nothing wrong with what I am sticking to."
Lu Changfeng reached out his hand and touched Jing Jue's head. The freshly shaved hair was a little prickly. "I will also think about it repeatedly, review their views, review the impact of these cases on society, and always pay attention to the social effects brought about by these cases. I believe in statistics more than visual estimation."
The fact is that cyber violence has not decreased because of the death of an internet celebrity, the unspoken rules still exist, and school bullying has not decreased.
Because this society is so large, with a population of more than one billion, everyone will be optimistic, thinking that even if there is revenge, it will not happen to them.
The initial letter warning all netizens did trigger public opinion and dominated the charts for many days.
But half a year has passed since the open letter was sent, and when we went out on the streets to interview people of different generations about their views on this matter, people have gradually been able to look at the issue from a more fair perspective.
People's emotions are very complex and it is easy to be overwhelmed by them. When they get rid of the current environment and emotions, their mood and thoughts will change.
Netizens have changed from being evenly split in the beginning, believing that judges are necessary, to now believing that laws related to cyber violence should be improved, legislation should be promoted, and control should be strengthened so that their rights and interests can be defended through legitimate channels and means. Gradually, they have come to realize in the eye of the storm that violence cannot solve problems nor shake the foundations.
What campus bullies should do is to strengthen guidance, actively solve problems, and bravely fight back against campus bullies in the right way.
The vast majority of people believe that ordinary school bullying does not warrant the death penalty, but serious school bullying should be properly handled according to the severity of the situation.
Implicit rules are a problem that this society has not solved for thousands of years. The real solution is not to kill the people who create the implicit rules, but to have the courage to say no to the implicit rules and refuse to comply with them. Only when everyone disobeys them can the spread of such rules be stopped.
The reason why it has not disappeared so far is that there are various classes between people. Humans are not emotionless robots. As long as classes exist, there will always be people who can gain corresponding benefits from the classes and by using the underlying rules.
This so-called class cannot be eliminated through violence, which means that the underlying rules will not disappear either, unless this violence can make the class disappear completely. The relationship between people changes from three-dimensional to two-dimensional. Everyone is like an NPC in the game, doing their own job mechanically, and there is no communication between them.
Lu Changfeng said: "We are committed to safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of everyone, but this society is too big and there are always places that we cannot protect. We have to admit that doing everything we can do well and shining in our own positions is already contributing to society."
Jing Jue was full of confidence: "I will work hard."
Lu Changfeng nodded.
I pushed the door open and entered the monitoring room, where Wang Qi and others were.
Yue Fanglin and Zhou Yu watched the interrogation online. Yang Chuan was easily conquered, which brought an end to the Yulong High School murder case and put everyone's mind at ease.
Yue Fanglin took the lead in applauding, followed by Zhou Yu, and then thunderous applause broke out in the monitoring room.
This applause is not for Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue, but for everyone, for all the police officers who have devoted their efforts to this case, and for all the participants.
The murderer was brought to justice, which can be regarded as justice done to Tang Wenxuan and others.
As for the Judge, there is still a long time to come and there will be further clashes. I have already bitten their tails, and sooner or later the true colors of all of them will be revealed.
Only then will everything be complete.
Lu Changfeng said to everyone: "Thank you for your hard work. The New Year is coming soon, and you are still working overtime with us."
"It's not hard, this is what we should do." Wang Qi looked at Yang Chuan in the interrogation room and sighed: "Fortunately Yang Chuan admitted it, and the case was solved."
He turned to look at Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue: "You are the ones who have suffered the most. You have traveled thousands of miles to make this trip, and you have even had a hard time for years."
Lu Changfeng said: "This is our responsibility."
