When they returned to the municipal bureau, it was still before work hours, so everyone sat in the office to rest.
Seeing Su He's serious expression, Wang Yun became somewhat worried.
"What's wrong? Where did you go at noon? Did something happen?"
Su He shook her head. "It's nothing, there are just some things I can't figure out."
"What is it? Can you tell me?"
Su He thought for a moment, but didn't specify what it was about. She simply said, "I'm just curious how to reconcile emotion and law with reason? When faced with a choice, which should I choose?"
Wang Yun was a little confused after hearing this. "That's such a profound question, it completely stumped me. Why did you suddenly think of this?"
"I just suddenly wanted to ask, if someone who has been persecuted for a long time kills someone because they want to gain freedom and resist, such a person will definitely be punished if there is evidence."
After all, even if he was a victim, that doesn't make up for the mistakes he made, and current laws don't allow for offsetting good deeds against bad ones.
But what if there's no evidence?
Even though they knew this person must have done it, there was no evidence, and he had always been in the position of a victim, so even if he made a mistake, he was just trying to resist.
What should we do with people like that?
After listening, Wang Yun pondered and said, "I understand. This is what you mean by 'legal and emotional' and 'reason and law.' However, for us in the public security system, everything still depends on evidence."
Even if we know he did it, we can't arrest him because we have no evidence.
“I know,” Su He nodded. “I’m just a little hesitant. Which side should we, the police, stand on? If we know he made a mistake and let him go, wouldn’t that damage our professional ethics?”
"Stand on the side of the evidence."
At this moment, Song Minghui spoke up, "We are the police. Everything must be based on evidence. Speculation alone is not enough. If someone can commit a crime so perfectly, then that is their ability. Without evidence, we cannot arrest anyone."
Su He was aware of this as well; she just suddenly realized that since becoming a police officer, she had actually dealt with similar cases more than once.
She still remembers the first criminal case she handled at the Tianqiao Police Station. The deceased, Meng Qiang, had a very bad attitude towards his wife and children, and often beat or scolded them.
She also guessed that Meng Qiang's death was likely caused by his wife, Jiang Hong.
However, due to a lack of evidence, the matter was ultimately dropped.
For a moment, she did doubt herself, wondering if she was living up to her profession.
But now it seems she never wronged them. They are the police, the hands of the national law, and everything depends on evidence. Only with evidence can a decision be made.
Therefore, she has a clear conscience!
...
After figuring things out, Su He stopped worrying about the Jiang family.
Jiang Nan was discharged from the hospital after a period of time.
After that, several of her relatives came to her door, still about work.
Jiang Nan was clever; she didn't explicitly say who she would give the job to, but instead managed to get the three parties arguing in just a few words.
In the end, neither side would give in, since there are only two jobs, and one of them will always be left out.
So the matter reached a stalemate.
Just as several companies were trying to make the other party back down, Jiang Nan made her move.
She went directly to the leaders of the machinery factory and told them that she wanted to exchange the jobs of two ordinary workers she held for the job of a cadre...
