Chapter 1254 Conversation
"I think the existence of the First Commandment is completely self-deception!" Li Guoqiang said his thoughts truthfully after a slight silence. "There are ghosts in this world. This is a fact and cannot be changed! I think it is necessary to let the people know the truth. , let them take precautions against these dirty things.”
Li Wenbin walked up to Li Guoqiang and was very close to him. He asked condescendingly: "Do you think we haven't thought about what you said? Do you think the top brass of the police force are just losers who don't think about problems? Or are they cold-blooded who only care about their official positions?" animal?"
"I never thought about it that way!" Li Guoqiang said loudly.
Li Wenbin looked at him expressionlessly: "Young man, be in awe of everything and don't take it for granted! You want to know why there is the first commandment? Well, I will give you an explanation today, but I hope this is also the last time. !”
After a pause, he added: "There is another person who, like you, is also complaining about the police force. Wait until he comes before I speak again, lest I have to say it twice!"
"Yes!" Li Guoqiang said. Only then did he notice the sweat on his forehead, and thought that Li Wenbin's sense of oppression was indeed not an excuse.
After a while, someone knocked on the door again and came in.
What surprised Li Guoqiang was that this person was Uncle Feng.
Uncle Feng looked a little decadent and looked very bad.
He was also surprised when he saw Li Guoqiang, but he just nodded to him and said nothing more.
"Director Li." Uncle Feng saluted Li Wenbin.
"A Feng, how many years have we not seen each other?" Li Wenbin asked.
"Seven years?" Uncle Feng said, "After you sent me to Dongpingzhou, we have never seen each other again."
"It's been seven years and you're still so resentful?" Li Wenbin smiled.
"The person assigned is me, not you. Otherwise, do you think you would have no resentment?" Uncle Feng said lightly.
Li Guoqiang on the side heard his heart pounding. He thought, Uncle Feng dared to speak like this to Li Wenbin? Really awesome.
"If it were me, I would have it too. I'm not a saint." Li Wenbin said, "But if you let me choose again, I will still assign you. Do you know why?"
"The first commandment." Uncle Feng said, "For you, whitewashing the peace is more important than anything else."
Li Wenbin smiled and suddenly told an unrelated story.
"Almost half a year ago, Kwong Chi-li from the Dupin Branch came to me and made a suggestion to me." Li Wenbin said, "He said, Sir, Hong Kong Island has been very effective in cracking down on Dupin crimes in recent years, but repeated bans on Dupin are not only a very serious problem. It would be a good thing if we could cut off the supply of unique products at the source and build Hong Kong Island into a drug-free city.”
"He gave me an effective suggestion. If I follow his suggestion, I'm sure that in just three years, 99% of the monopoly traders can be basically eliminated in Hong Kong Island."
He looked at Uncle Feng and Li Guoqiang: "Do you think I should adopt this suggestion?"
He added: "You can say whatever you want and don't be afraid of being wrong. You can speak freely here today and no one will pursue anything."
Li Guoqiang immediately said after hearing this: "I think we should! If you can put an end to the problem of the proliferation of unique products, this will definitely be a good thing for the benefit of the citizens, and those families who have been devastated by unique products will definitely thank you."
Li Wenbin looked at Uncle Feng incredulously: "What do you think?"
"I think so too." Uncle Feng said, shaking his head, "But I know that many things in this world cannot be said to be right or wrong. Many things that seem right may not be a good thing."
"It seems that you have changed a lot over the years." Li Wenbin said with emotion, "You would never have said such a thing before."
"I'm not changing, I'm just recognizing the reality." Uncle Feng said.
Li Wenbin looked at Li Guoqiang and said: "You are very disappointed. Not only did I not adopt Kuang Zhili's suggestion, I also asked him to announce a phased victory in the anti-drug campaign, and then relaxed the control of unique channels."
"Why?" Li Guoqiang couldn't understand at all, "Isn't this condoning crime?"
"Do you think I have a conspiracy to do this? Do you think I have selfish motives? Have you already thought of many conspiracy theories to guess my motives?" Li Wenbin laughed.
Li Guoqiang didn't speak, but judging from his expression, that's what he thought.
"Actually, I made this decision out of public concern and for the security of this city." Li Wenbin said, "When I reach my position, the highest goal I pursue is no longer vulgar things like money and power, but The opportunity to change the world is to leave a name in history, so many of the decisions I make are for the public, not for personal gain.”
"The reason why I made this decision is actually very complicated. Because from a high-level perspective and looking at the overall situation, the issue of unique products is not a separate issue, but an issue related to the security and stability of Hong Kong Island, which affects the whole body."
"The population of addicts in Hong Kong has risen to 184,000 this year, an increase of more than 4,000 compared to last year. It is expected that the growth rate will further increase next year," Li Wenbin said, "Most of these 180,000 addicts are some Of course, there are also some habitual drug addicts among the middle- and lower-class residents who live in poor living conditions and have unstable jobs, but the proportion is not large.”
"You are all police officers, and you all know what these drug addicts will look like if they become addicts. They will lose all moral bottom lines and become inhumane! What will happen if the drug addicts are completely banned? Hong Kong Island will have ten more people. 80,000 criminals who are disrupting society because they have nothing to drink!”
"I don't need to estimate how many victims there are because of this, right? Who is responsible for this? You? Or me?"
Uncle Feng was silent, but Li Guoqiang was still a little unconvinced and hesitated to speak.
"These are just the people who attract separatist elements, and there are also criminals who engage in the sale of separatist elements." Li Wenbin did not give him a chance to speak, and continued, "According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 30,000 people in Hong Kong who are directly or indirectly engaged in separatist element crimes. This number has been changing and there are always new additions. I can tell you responsibly that if I put all these 30,000 people in jail today, it won't be long before another 30,000 people will take their place and continue to sell separatist elements! This is called a supply and demand market. As long as there is profit, many people will take risks!"
"Let me tell you again, can separatist elements be completely banned according to Kuang Zhili's method? This is wishful thinking! His method only eliminated this batch of separatist criminals! But by doing so, he will only make the next batch of separatist elements more secretive, more sophisticated, and will be intermittent. The price of drugs will be raised directly, so that more people will take risks and embark on the road of drug trafficking! "
"To completely eradicate drug trafficking in Hong Kong Island, it will never be accomplished overnight. It may require the efforts of several generations and must be done slowly. It is impossible to achieve quick success and instant benefits. Sometimes we can do better, but we will not do so. Why? "
"Because if you calculate the accounts, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages! If I accept Kwong Chi-lapin's suggestion and carry out drug prohibition in a big way, do you know what will happen? I, Li Wenbin, can gain a high reputation and fame from this, and my personal prestige will be further enhanced, but what is the price of doing so? It is the public security of Hong Kong Island that will have to endure the pain, and the front-line police will have to face new challenges and new enemies in advance! It is the lives of many people who could have been avoided... ”
“The mafia will reshuffle, the channels for exclusive drugs will be re-established, and those drug addicts will still have exclusive drugs. The price of exclusive drugs will become higher because of drug prohibition, and they can’t afford it, so they will rob and kill people!”
“In this case, why don’t I keep a few exclusive drug trafficking routes that we have already mastered, indirectly control the exclusive drug market, and let those drug addicts fend for themselves?”
“But everyone who commits a crime should be punished!” Li Guoqiang finally couldn’t help but retorted, “Otherwise this is the greatest insult to justice!”
“Justice?” Li Wenbin smiled, “Which is more important, justice or human life? I tell you, if I can save a child’s life today and let me do something illegal, I will do it anyway! Not to mention just letting justice take a back seat! If the price of justice is too high, I will Why not wait until it is cheaper before pursuing it? Young man, justice is a memorial arch. We need it, but it is not the most important thing! "
"The most important thing is to make the world more stable and prosperous, and make most people happy! This is the meaning of my being the deputy commissioner of the police department!" Li Wenbin's expression became serious again, "Now let me tell you why the police force needs the first commandment. People who kill people are against the law. Should ghosts who kill people be arrested and brought to justice? If necessary, how to catch them? How to solve the case of ghost murders?"
"It took thousands of years for this world to summarize the existing criminal investigation methods, and they will all be overturned in front of ghosts! Because ghosts don't have fingerprints, they don't need alibis for killing people. We can't interrogate them, and they can't defend themselves even if they are wronged. "
"If we announce to the public that ghosts exist, I tell you, many things in this world will be overturned! This price is unbearable for any country, and no one knows what terrible things will happen, but if we choose to conceal it, it will be easy. If you are at the top, what would you choose? "
"42,800 people died in Hong Kong last year. I can tell you that there are almost 2,000 people who are suspected to have died from ghosts and supernatural events. How do you think the world's cognition will be overturned for the death of more than 2,000 people, and the people of the world will bear the price? Rulers from ancient times to the present know that ghosts exist, but so what? When has this world ever had a formally recognized ghost-catching department? What is the reason? Is it hard to imagine? "
Li Wenbin looked at the two people in front of him: "So, there must be a first commandment! You think it is self-deception or whitewashing, but this first commandment must be implemented. This is not just a problem in Hong Kong, but a problem faced by the whole world! If someone does not abide by the first commandment..."
Li Wenbin paused and said: "I'm sorry, for everyone, I can only sacrifice you!"
Uncle Feng and Li Guoqiang both had complicated expressions and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, Li Wenbin's words touched them a lot.
"But many people know that there are ghosts in this world, and we can't hide it if we want to. "Li Guoqiang said.
"Does it matter?" Li Wenbin smiled, "The right to speak in this world is not in their mouths. No matter how much they say, can it affect the overall situation? We have heard a lot about so-and-so seeing ghosts since we were young, but if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, would you believe it is true? As long as the existence of ghosts and gods has not formed a universal consensus and is only spread in a small range, it is actually beneficial to us, just like you, such as the yellow fire and earth in Taiwan, your existence is actually a powerful supplement to the policy of the first commandment. "
"Huotu didn't kill anyone, he was wronged." Uncle Feng said.
"I know." Li Wenbin said, "I also know about the shooting in the detention room that just happened. The guy was also innocent. He was just being used by ghosts. The truth of these things is easy to see through, but Huang Huotu is still wanted, that The guy who shoots someone in the detention room must also go to jail and lose his job, that’s the rule!”
"I know they are unjust, but the evidence is conclusive, and the first commandment will not make exceptions for anyone! Otherwise, whoever kills people in the future will have to rely on ghosts and gods!"
He looked at the two people in front of him and changed the topic: "Of course, this matter is not without a turn. If the matter can always be in our hands, whether Huang Huotu and that guy killed anyone, for us, it is just a matter of changing the confession and report. things.”
Uncle Feng and Li Guoqiang looked at each other and both looked at Li Wenbin.
"Is there any other department that wants to accept this matter?" Uncle Feng asked.
"Britain is ready to send people here." Li Wenbin said, "They have been very experienced in handling this kind of thing from the Middle Ages to the present. In addition, the north also vaguely indicated that enthusiastic religious people from the public would come to Hong Kong Island to help. It is unofficial. After all, Haven’t returned yet…”
Uncle Feng was silent for a moment and said, "What will happen if they take over?"
"The matter will be suppressed." Li Wenbin said, "But in what way, we can't decide. In addition, they will never wipe our butt for what has happened. In other words, Huang Huo Tu and That guy is dead!"
"Enthhearted people from the north have contacted me and said that this incident is very serious and may lead to a serious humanitarian disaster." Li Wenbin said seriously, "I don't understand a lot of what he said, but I know one thing , Wipe your own butt! And even if we ask others to help, we can’t do nothing, otherwise we will be looked down upon!”
"There are not many people I can trust in this kind of thing. Ah Feng, you are one of them. It's a pity that Azu died, otherwise I should have seen Ah Feng and him this time." Li Wenbin's eyes fell on Li Guoqiang's face , "Although there were flaws in how you handled this matter, overall, you stabilized the situation, which makes me very satisfied."
"I don't care how you did it or who was helping you. If you achieve such a result, I will admit it!" Li Wenbin said, "A Feng, Guo Qiang, let me ask you something now. What happened this time? Are you willing to work hard?"
