Chapter 1385: Chapter 33-farewell under the pen

The island’s morning was cold. Before the sun completely rose, the chill of the sea breeze caressed all the living things on kouchkati like a cold hand.

At dawn, two figures were strolling along the garden corridor of Herbert’s Manor.

One of them was Feng bujue, and the other was Zuo Yan, who was holding Victor.

“Is it really good for you to be like this?” Brother Jue said casually,”leave the rest of the mess to a half-drunk uncle to deal with?”

“I’ve already arranged everything. It doesn’t matter if he’s here or not. ” Zuo Yan replied,”but you …” He raised his eyes to look at brother Jue.”Is it really good for you to’ do this ‘?”

“What’s wrong with that?” “Someone like John should have been in prison at least ten years ago to pick up soap,” Feng bujue replied in a very honest tone.

“I think … That’s where our values don’t match.” Zuo Yan continued.

What he was about to say next was not only for himself, but also for Victor.””I’ve said it before, and I firmly believe so too … We detectives have no right to judge anyone. All we can do is … Find out the truth.”

“Then who do you think has the right to judge others?” Feng bujue asked.

“Of course it’s the legal system.” Zuo Yan replied.

“I see … So you believe in the ‘law’…” Feng bujue mumbled to himself.

“If I don’t believe in the law, what else can I believe in?” Zuo Yan said.

“You can try religion.” Feng bujue smiled.”Let ‘God’s spokesperson’ tell you who God will judge and how God will judge.”

“Ha …” Zuo Yan understood what brother Jue meant and laughed.”Do you think that the Law and Religion are equally unreliable?”

Feng bujue did not answer his question directly. Instead, he paused and said,””I have a friend who’s a lawyer. He once said … One of his favorite movie lines is ‘if you want to seek justice, then go to a brothel. If you want to be F * cked, then go to court’.”

“A very … Interesting point of view.” Zuo Yan didn’t know how to respond to that, but Victor replied in his heart.

“You said that the ‘job’ of a detective is to search for the truth, so what I want to tell you is …” Feng bujue said.”What the ‘truth’ is … It doesn’t matter.

“Our judicial system doesn’t care about the truth. What the judicial system pursues is relative fairness, the deterrence of the legal system, and efficiency that must be maintained at a certain level.

“Our judges don’t care about the truth. They only perform their duties, supervise and control the process of the trial, and announce the results.

“Our jury doesn’t care about the truth either. They’re just performing their duties as citizens by accepting and choosing the relatively more credible rhetoric that a lawyer instills into them.”

“And our lawyer … Doesn’t care about the truth. In contrast to detectives, what a lawyer could do was to set aside the so-called ‘truth’ and provide the best defense for his client. The professional ethics of this industry required them to ignore their personal moral standards and emotional inclinations. In a game called ‘law’, they had to become players who could decide the outcome of the game. The ‘truth’ was at most a bargaining chip that they could use.

“But … Can you say that our system is wrong? Can you say that every link and every person in this system is wrong?

“Obviously not. In fact … They are all right. They are all doing what they should be doing, the right thing.

“Only in this way can we maintain this ‘relatively fair’ system and maintain the stability of this society built on the foundation of the rule of law.”

When Feng bujue said that, he glanced at Zuo Yan and then unconsciously lowered his gaze to look at Victor.

“No…” After a moment, Zuo Yan spoke,”I don’t agree with this … Although I can’t refute many of what you’ve said; But at least … I can be sure that the ‘truth’ still has meaning.

“In the countless cases in this world, perhaps not every ‘truth’ can be exchanged for ‘justice’, but if no one pays attention to and pursues the ‘truth’, then we will not even be able to obtain ‘relative justice’, and the judicial system that humans have been perfecting over the years will collapse.”

“Haha … So that’s what you think …” Feng bujue laughed as he read it out loud.”Interesting …” He paused for half a second and looked at Victor.”Very interesting …”

“No, it’s not interesting …” Zuo Yan said on behalf of Victor.”But sometimes,’boring’ is the best.” He raised his head and looked at the morning glow in the distance.”If our judicial system really falls apart and we return to the era where ‘a few people distribute power in the name of God and judge everything’, that would be interesting.”

“Ha … I’m not saying that your point of view is interesting.” “I’m just … Interested in the fact that ‘you have a different perspective from me’,” Feng bujue said.

“Oh?” Zuo Yan asked doubtfully,”isn’t this normal? We’ve only known each other for less than a day. Wouldn’t it be rare for us to find that our three views are the same?”

“Hmm …” Feng bujue laughed mysteriously.”Ha … Yes, that’s true.”

In reality, his “right” did not mean that he completely agreed with Zuo Yan’s words. It was just that he was thinking that a writer’s three views, character, ability, and cognition … Should not be the same as the characters he created.

The most difficult thing to describe in this world was “people,” and for a person, the most difficult thing to objectively and accurately judge and describe … Was themselves.

Since he couldn’t even clearly write down what he was like, how could the characters he created be the same as him?

“By the way …” After a while, Zuo Yan continued,”even if I turn a blind eye to this case … And treat your deduction as the final conclusion, I can’t guarantee that the follow-up will go as you wish.”

“Hehe … Don’t worry.” Feng bujue said,”I can guarantee that John and Sam will get the ending they deserve … At least, it will be an ending that I am satisfied with.”

“Ha?” Zuo Yan narrowed his eyes and laughed drily.”What you’re saying … Sounds like the tone of those religious leaders in the Middle Ages who’ speak on behalf of their God ‘…”

“Then you can just treat it as a ‘God’ telling you directly.” Feng bujue replied with a smile, and then he suddenly stopped.”Okay … It’s about time, I have to go … Goodbye, zuoyan, goodbye … Victor.”

“Time?” The sudden change of topic and the sudden goodbye caused Zuo Yan to hesitate for a few seconds. He turned around and asked,”are you going to the pier to catch a boat?”

However, when he turned around, the mysterious detective named ‘Feng bujue’… Had already disappeared.
