MTL - Mystery Hunter-Chapter 332 Dilemma
Shao Lao's heart is actually full of worries. A criminal with a heinous crime dares to stand here with his true face and tell himself a real name, which shows that this criminal has not found a way to escape that he is absolutely sure of. , then he is not going to run away.
The bell sounded from the square, no more or no less, just ten times.
It wasn't until the dull voice disappeared that the young man, the crime consultant Shi Xu, said, "Unconsciously, it's already ten o'clock. There are two hours left, and it's the new year. Then I'll make it earlier. I wish you a Happy New Year, because if you don't say something now, you may not be able to say it after the New Year."
Shao Lao understood these words of Shi Xu. In layman's terms, today is either you died or I forgot.
Jiang He sat on the side and said to Shi Xu, "You dare to see people with your true face, even if you can escape today, but from now on, you will be wanted throughout the country, and in the future you must not be like a person, not a ghost. Living like a ghost in a dark space, there is no way to return to the ground in a lifetime."
Shi Xu laughed when he looked at Jiang He, he said, "Could it be that I can show my true face in the first half of my life? From the day I became an orphan, from the day I was adopted by Wei Demian, I was destined to not be. The way to live like a normal person. My adoptive father thinks that human beings have stopped evolving. He thinks that people can evolve in pain and death, but I don’t think so.”
"Oh?" Mr. Shao looked outside the cafe. Xu Yiman and others had cordoned off outside the cafe. Together with the police in the square, they were evacuating the people who were still waiting to watch the fireworks show. However, with so many people in the square, it is not an easy thing to succeed, not to mention this criminal consultant who plays cards out of common sense in front of him, he can have hundreds of thousands of people in the square buried with him at any time.
Shi Xu naturally also saw the warning line outside the window, but he did not show any abnormality.
"What do you think?" Mr. Shao could only delay as long as possible so that the police could evacuate the citizens as soon as possible.
"I would really like to ask you, what do you think of human nature?" Shi Xu asked.
"Humanity?" Shao Lao waved his hand: "This is a very big topic. To be honest, I have never overestimated or underestimated human nature. There are so many so-called bad people in the world. There are as many so-called good people. There are as many selfish people as there are selfless people. There are as many people who kill for themselves as there are people who can sacrifice themselves for others. People can't be good, and they can't be bad. somewhere to go."
Shi Xu nodded and seemed to agree with Shao Lao's point of view.
"But." Shi Xu said, "The good and evil people in this world are just extremes at both ends. In our world, most of the people that exist are those who are neither kind nor evil. These people are like grass on the vast land, where the wind comes from, they will fall, and the sad thing is that these people always feel that they are the wind."
Old Shao seemed to realize something. The young man sitting in front of him seemed to be far more profound than he had imagined.
"So you have to prove that you are the wind yourself?" Shao Lao turned his head and looked into the distance. On the brightly lit square, he could see a few shadows, who were the faithful believers of the criminal consultant who was still wearing a black cloak. . And they certainly won't believe that in an unremarkable cafe in this square, this ordinary-looking young man sitting is the righteous leader they admire.
"Of course I'm not a wind." Shi Xu waved his hand and said, "In a practical sense, we are just some grass with deep roots. When a gust of wind blows, we won't swing easily. Humans are always social animals. There is no wind in the world, one grass bends down, and the rest follow its direction to swing, this is most of us, including me, and naturally including you."
"What do you mean?" Jiang He asked.
Shi Xu looked at Jiang He and replied, "Jiang He, do you think you are a good person or a bad person?"
"I'm definitely not a bad person, I'm 99% sure about that." Jiang He was firm.
There was a smile on Shi Xu's mouth: "Ninety-nine percent, Jiang He, you've always been so strict. I said before, we're playing a game, now it's almost time, and the game should start. Look at this. What is it, I heard that you have hyper-amnesia, you will not forget anything, I only saw it on TV, I don’t know if it is so powerful.”
Saying that, Shi Xu took out a small notebook from his trousers pocket. It was a royal blue notebook. It looked very delicate. A small bow tied the notebook, and you could see it at a glance. It's a girl's notebook.
"I heard that you are a person without feelings." Shi Xu seemed to remember something funny, his face was full of smiles: "I have only heard of killers who have no feelings, never heard of them. I've been an emotionless cop."
There was no expression on Jiang He's face, even though he had already recognized the notebook.
"I can see that you, this little girl, still likes you very much." Shi Xu said, "The little girl seems to like the uncle very much now. We young people have no market."
Jiang He ignored Shi Xu's nonsense and just said, "Where are the people? Where are the people?"
Shi Xu did not answer, but instead asked: "Before the game started, I asked you, do you think you are a good person or a bad person, and you told me that you are definitely not a bad person. How is good or bad determined? You You should have heard of the train problem. When a train is running, there are six people tied to the fork at the front, one on each side and five on the other. At this moment, there is a lever next to you. If you don’t pull it, the train will not change its track. It's going to hit those five people straight. If you choose to pull the lever, the train will change track and kill that one person."
"Everyone tells us that life is priceless, and one person's life is not necessarily less important than five people's lives." Shi Xu looked at Jiang He seriously: "And five people's lives are more numerous than one person's life. Life looks a little more. The hard part of the train conundrum is that whether you choose to pull the lever or not, you have made an unethical decision and you are condemned in your own heart for it."
"And this is the only thing we humans have. We have a sense of morality. However, this sense of morality is something that selfish human beings forcibly created in order to deceive themselves from the beginning." Shi Xu Qing Qing said: "If I say that the person who was tied to the rails alone has bullied classmates since childhood, beat and scolded their parents, stole other people's money, and ate other people's dogs, you would have much less moral revenge in your heart. Pull rod."
Jiang He and Shao Lao did not speak.
Shi Xu continued: "So you should have discovered that no matter what happened, as long as you use this method, you can comfort everyone. A girl was raped and killed. We say that this girl is coquettish and wears less clothes. When someone's money is stolen, we say why you don't put your money in a safe place. When a child is bullied, we say why he only bullies others, not you."
"Actually, everyone knows very well that these things have nothing to do with the victims. They say that, they are just standing on a seemingly moral height and comforting themselves with the fact that they are selfish. Some people clearly recognize this, and they still do it. Totally bad guys. But some people don't realize it and say it anyway, they're total idiots."
"Idiot." Shao Lao murmured.
"I think we are all smart people. I know very well what you said before, Mr. Shao, and I agree with it." Shi Xu said: "In fact, I have been emphasizing that we are a kind of class in understanding the world. People, it’s just that the methods are different. The things you choose to ignore have actually become more and more serious in recent years, don’t you realize that?”
Old Shao somewhat understood what Shi Xu meant, which made him subconsciously touch the collar in his pocket.
"So what are you going to do?" Jiang He asked.
Shi Xu looked at Jiang He: "Actually, it's very simple. The difficulty of the trolley problem is that the comparison between one person and five people is too small, but what if this base becomes larger? If it is the life of one person and the lives of 100,000 people In front of you, how should you choose? Life is priceless, but to sacrifice one person to save 100,000 people, almost everyone will do it."
"I like to read superhero comics, but everyone often overlooks one thing. In order to save the earth, heroes often have to sacrifice some people's lives. For the rest of the people, these people are heroes, but for those who are unintentional disasters Those who happen to them are the killers."
"Heroes and killers are often separated by a layer of veil." Shi Xu said: "And now, Jiang He, this opportunity is in front of you. There are at least 100,000 people in this square, although the police have already begun to evacuate, But you underestimate human nature, and they will not leave if the danger does not appear in front of your eyes."
Shi Xu suddenly took out two buttons from his pocket.
"A red button, a blue button." Shi Xu said: "Press the red button, Shuixinlan alone will die, and 100,000 people will die in the square. Press the blue button, and 100,000 people will die in the square. , Shui Xinlan is alive. I would really like to see if a person who has no feelings has no sense of morality to deceive himself."
"You are someone who likes to calculate, you know the importance of numbers." Shi Xu smiled and put the two buttons in front of Jiang He: "Wireless remote control, technology will change the world, it's almost half past ten, eleven If you don't make a choice before the point, they will all die. You should understand that it is very easy for me to make such a bomb."
