Genius Detective-Chapter 973: Justice and Kindness

Chen Shi reached out to put his hand on Lin Dongxue's shoulder, but she was agitated and shrugged it off. Lin Dongxue roared, "If I didn't know, I could leave it alone, but now that I know someone is going to die, I can’t!"

"Be rational, this is the scheme of the observer of humanity. Throwing a bunch of obstacles to stop us!" Chen Shi said, already a little annoyed.

"How can I be rational! When these people really kill others, then we’ll go to clean up the scene, identify, dissect, arrest people, and offer a sentence of condolences to the family of the deceased. Then we’ll be secretly satisfied about solving a couple of cases again this year! If the police can't protect ordinary people, what's the point of being a policeman?!"

"The police represent justice, not kindness! Kindness is vague. It has no standards, but justice does. Also, by doing so, it is tantamount to acknowledging that the observer of humanity is correct!"

"He is right!!!" Lin Dongxue roared out.

Everyone present was stunned. A veteran police officer had openly admitted that the suspect was right. Tao Yueyue was so scared that she covered her mouth.

Lin Dongxue no longer cared about the consequences. She said with tears running down her face, "I believe that when he used the life functions to predict potential criminals, he felt the same way as I do now and wanted to stop those bad things from happening! You keep saying that us police don’t represent kindness, but when Yueyue was in danger, you were more assiduous in investigating the case than anyone else. Those who are about to die, do they have no family? Now that I know, it’s impossible for me to leave it alone, even if I’m no longer going to be a police officer!"

With that, Lin Dongxue took out her police badge, threw it on the ground, and left with the wad of life functions.

She had decided that she must save people. She must save people. She was someone who had lost loved ones. Although she also knew this was irrational, sometimes, human nature is irrational.𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

Footsteps.

Lin Dongxue hoped in her heart that it was Chen Shi chasing after her, but it was only Tao Yueyue who came. She said, "Sister Lin, don't be so agitated. Actually... I think your way of thinking is right, and human lives should be the priority!"

"Thank you for understanding me. Do you want to come with me?"

Tao Yueyue shook her head. "I can't accompany you! Uncle Chen is very sad. If I leave as well, he will have a mental breakdown. You have to be careful by yourself! Are you coming back tonight?"

"I don't know. Please stay with him!" Lin Dongxue finished speaking, and walked towards her car which was parked at the door.

Tao Yueyue returned to Chen Shi's office. He threw everything on the table to the floor angrily, and held his head in his hands dejectedly. The only thing he hadn’t touched was Lin Dongxue's police badge which he had placed in front of him.

"Are you okay..." Tao Yueyue asked timidly. She seldom saw Chen Shi in such a rage.

Chen Shi took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, opened it, put a cigarette in his mouth, and looked around for a lighter.

Tao Yueyue snatched the cigarette and said, "Don't. Smoking can't solve the problem."

Chen Shi said angrily, "The life functions predicted that I would have an extramarital affair in the future. I didn't believe it at the time. Now I understand. I have a fundamental disagreement with her. A police officer shouldn't be so emotional, sometimes one shouldn’t even be too kind! Do you also think she’s right?"

"Uncle Chen, that woman really died so miserably today. Her eyes were full of such despair when she died! Didn't you say that there’s no absolute right or wrong in some matters? When justice and kindness conflict, which side would you choose? Sister Lin had chosen kindness!"

Chen Shi was silent for a long time. "But she ignored one thing. Those future criminals, before they commit crimes, are also free citizens protected by the law. This is our duty! We are not superhumans and cannot go beyond our duties to stop future crimes!"

"Then Sister Lin has done the right thing. She has even handed in her police badge..."

Chen Shi glanced at the police badge. He picked it up, polished it for a while, and then carefully put it in the drawer.

"You can go. I need to be alone for a while."

"Don't smoke! You had a hard time quitting..."

Tao Yueyue walked away uneasily.

Chen Shi was restless all day. Tao Yueyue ran over to see him several times. The last time she came, he was actually playing a puzzle game on the computer glumly. Tao Yueyue said, "It’s time to get off work!"

"Let’s go home." Chen Shi said listlessly.

After getting into the car, Tao Yueyue asked, "What’s that about cheating that you talked about this morning?"

"Old Peng had used the life function to predict this. I was speechless at the time, but now... My feelings are a bit complicated."

"In that case, do you know how I felt when I learned that I would commit murder in the future?"

"People shouldn't know their future... but I also believe that destiny can be changed."

"Then you should go and change it, and reconcile with Sister Lin."

"No, I won't go looking for her!"

"Why?"

"Adult business!"

Tao Yueyue raised a finger as a reminder. "We agreed previously that we won’t use the standpoints of adults and children as reasons during an argument. In my opinion, you’re just like a petulant child now."

"You should just treat me as a petulant child then. I can't go to her right away. I insist on my opinion on this matter."

Tao Yueyue looked out the window. "I wonder where Sister Lin is now. Does she have a place to stay at night?"

Chen Shi suddenly made a turn and went to a bank nearby. He took a number and lined up. Then he transferred a sum of money from his bank account. Although he remained silent throughout the whole process, Tao Yueyue saw from the side that he had sent the money to Lin Dongxue.

Walking out of the bank, Chen Shi even explained, "This is not about caring for her. I am her husband. It is my duty to provide her with financial support."

"Understood, understood. You don't care about her at all." Tao Yueyue held back a smile.

Back home, Tao Yueyue looked at the table and said, "Wow, Sister Lin is back!"

Chen Shi's eyes lit up and immediately went to look for her in each room, but Lin Dongxue wasn’t at home. She had just come back to lay down the gun she carried and the handcuffs that she had forgotten to hand in. She had also taken some clothes. There was a note on the table that said, " Forgive my willfulness this time. if I don't save them, I will feel guilty for a lifetime."

It was just one short line, but Chen Shi picked it up and read it over and over again. Then he took a bottle of wine from the refrigerator, poured himself a glass, and sat dejectedly on the sofa.

Tao Yueyue shook him. "Cook! Your baby is hungry."

"Order takeaway. Order whatever you want to eat."

"Then I will order the most expensive meal!"

"Whatever, bankrupt me!"ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

"Hehe!" Tao Yueyue asked for Chen Shi's mobile phone, and ordered the luxurious meal she had always wanted but couldn’t bear to eat. "I hope you guys will quarrel every day, then I can request whatever I want to eat."

Chen Shi glared at her. "You’re taking advantage of my misfortune!"

With Lin Dongxue away from home, only Chen Shi knew how lonely that night was. After sleeping, he barely managed to reset his mood. The next morning, Chen Shi took Xu Xiaodong, Little Li, and Tao Yueyue to participate in Hai Guoyang’s new product launch conference.

This new product launch conference was very special. The guests and reporters attending the conference weren’t sitting in chairs to ask questions. There were some tables on the spot, with self-service food and drinks, as well as some mobile phones.

The new products were some upcoming apps, including social networking apps, games, personal assistant apps, data management apps, etc. Guests could pick up the mobile phones themselves and try out these new products.

The four people arrived to see that kk had arrived long ago. He was wearing a suit, and his eye-catching yellow hair had been styled with gel. He handed the four invitation letters to Chen Shi and said, "You’re all wearing such casual clothes!"

"We’re here to investigate the case, as long as we don’t attract attention, it’s fine." Chen Shi said.
