Minjiang No. 1 Prison, cell.
There was a dead silence in the small black room of less than ten square meters, and outside the cell was a doctor carrying a death injection.
The tray was white, and the cell door was open.
The police outside the door are still waiting for the results, but the prisoners inside have no hope.
Qian Bao was sneering, Zhao Yi was calm, Yan Guiqiu kept grabbing the ground with his head, and Sun Zhen still looked at them with a violent gaze that would never admit defeat. This was what Huang Ze saw when he stepped into the door.
The surroundings were so peaceful that there was no sound at all.
But Shen Lian felt a rumbling sound in her ears, as if the blood in her body was about to explode.
She finally felt an angry feeling of being played by Lin Chen. The four criminals were strangers beside the tracker. Lin Chen simulated the second problem situation in a more obscure and imperceptible way. Determine the context of the outcome.
If she has a knife in her hand now, she will definitely use a sharp knife to repeatedly pierce Lin Chen's heart, and the female anchor on the TV is not enough, she is saying: "We thought there would be a one-sided result, but we didn't expect it. , after some of the voting results of the on-site polling place have been counted, unexpected changes have taken place, which is incredible."
The same understatement as Lin Chen made Shen Lian get out of anger, but she still took a deep breath and tried her best to regain her thinking: "What about those who choose 'yes', they also have what you call a moral brake in their minds?"
Lin Chen looked at her with sympathy: "I'm sorry to tell you, yes."
"These people are firmly convinced that they should trade criminals' lives for drugs!"
"It doesn't mean they didn't hesitate when they first saw this problem." Lin Chen looked at the night sky and said calmly, "Innate morality comes first, and it takes more effort to overcome it. And more importantly, , we have to talk about behavior in terms of intent, the person who made the 'yes' choice, did they make that choice based on their own self-interest or the value of more people's lives? Did they bow their heads out of fear, or would they rather Carrying the moral burden of an indirect murderer to fight for the right to live for more people? Different intentions lead to the same 'yes' representing different value judgment standards, do you know the meaning behind each 'yes' word?"
Shen Lian sneered, but Lin Chen seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said to himself.
"You don't have to look down on those who choose 'no', there must be a larger number of people, because the effect of the moral brake can not be offset by careful thinking. However, they are not cowards obeying the natural moral mechanism of human beings, every one' No' behind the choice is a kind of forgiveness, a respect for life, a maintenance of the social legal system where everyone is equal, and a strong determination to fight against you."
"It's disgusting to dig out the chicken soup of human kindness!" Shen Lian vomited.
"It's true, but it's interesting to say that the 'yes' and 'no' options tend to represent people with different personalities. The former are quick to make decisions and have a tough attitude, and the Internet is often full of these people's remarks , because they are very eye-catching. The latter takes more time to make judgments, and often begins to honor inner choices at the last minute, which sometimes also reflects the tendency of humans to not like to say that I am a kind and good person, and people tend to act silently, Silent, always the majority."
Lin Chen said: "Even if every abstention option is an undecidable self-moral torture, then whether it is or not, they are all honorable choices. Although this honorableness seems to be only because of the large number Normal human nature, but it's really beautiful and you should see it."
…
Hongjing City Bureau Command Center, all polling point statistics will be sent here as soon as possible.
Due to the shortage of manpower, most of the police officers have been working for more than two days and two nights. The hall is filled with the smell of instant coffee and strong tea, like a heavy truck moving forward.
Minister Shen was waiting in the hall for the final result.
Xing Conglian stood on the rooftop smoking a cigarette, not with the higher-ups.
Beside him is the strategist who has criticized Lin Chen before. The young man who always seems dark and cold is very serious at this moment: "Consultant Lin has a definite result in his heart."
Xing Conglian ignored him.
"I'm a firm 'yes' party," he added. "If more people choose 'yes', we can solve the problems we face once and for all."
Xing Conglian still ignored him.
"But just now, I suddenly felt fortunate. I found that although it is ideal, it is terrible to unify a society with a will of iron and blood." He said simply, "So, I am here to apologize."
The night wind suddenly stopped on the roof, and the night scene of the whole city seemed particularly heavy.
"But this sacrifice is too big." He finally said.
And Xing Conglian was looking down at the night scene from beginning to end without saying a word.
Downstairs are the most common lights.
At the entrance of the new village, the guard turned up the volume of the radio so that the residents who gathered to wait for the result could hear the answer clearly.
No matter how loud the auntie did not speak, everyone was waiting for the final verdict, so no one noticed the white-collar worker standing outside the crowd.
The young man looked up at the once-familiar floor, and the figure of his beloved girl appeared hazy in the dim light.
Holding the phone, he wanted to dial the string of numbers.
In the hospital, the emergency building is still operating overnight, but most of the wards have been quiet.
In the ICU ward, the haggard old lady is still sitting on the edge of the hospital bed. Her hair is still well combed, she is wearing reading glasses, and she is slowly flipping through a book in her hand.
"Hey, this sentence is very interesting, and it's too vicious." When the old lady turned to certain passages, she would read it out to her husband.
"It's absurd to divide people into good and bad..." she said.
For some reason, the person on the bed will not respond for the time being.
The TV in the ward was on, and the small lamp by the bed was also on.
"People are either charming or boring."
The female anchor began to announce the results.
The old lady raised her head and looked at the TV calmly. There was no accident, but when she looked back at the husband on the hospital bed, her eyes were still red.
…
Huang Ze hung up the phone and had the final answer.
All the police officers looked at him in unison, and he walked forward along the corridor.
The four people in the prison still maintained their previous postures.
Huang Ze stepped into the cell, looked at them, and said calmly: "If it is according to my personal wishes, I hope that you will die in exchange for more chances for innocent victims to live."
Yan Guiqiu stopped with his head grabbing the ground, he slowly raised his head, his dark eyes still looked very desperate, but a trace of shock gradually emerged from his eyes.
Huang Ze calmly read out the results in his hands. He said: "In a total of 49,582,412 valid votes, a total of 65.33% of people believe that the way of killing you should not be exchanged for therapeutic drugs." He paused, and then said, "Congratulations to you. , you can continue to go back to prison."
This is really an ordinary announcement, but in Yan Guiqiu's mind, it was like a thunderous explosion. He was extremely at a loss, and wanted to bite the tip of his tongue or punch himself to make sure that he was still awake and this was not a hallucination before death.
He turned his head numbly, and saw that his "cellmates" had great shock on their faces. They looked at each other, as if they were suddenly dumbfounded.
At this moment, a gray-blue figure suddenly burst out. Sun Zhen rushed to Huang Ze and grabbed the collar of the other party, lowered his voice, and confirmed word by word: "You, say, what, what, you say it again?"
"As a result, more people believe that you have the right and should survive." Huang Ze replied indifferently.
"Why?" Sun Zhen whispered in disbelief, and then asked again, "Why?"
"Probably because there are so many fools in this world that it is unreasonable."
Huang Ze said casually, the police officers outside the cell left like running water with death penalty tools, and the gate became empty.
The road ahead was so dark that there was no light, but Yan Guiqiu felt that he had never seen such a bright road in his life.
In the square, civil servants began to pack up the polling places.
In the police station, the police officers who worked continuously continued to move forward with heavy loads.
In the supper shop, people who were shocked by the result clinked their glasses for the first time.
The young man under the tree turned and left, the victim's family began to cry, and the patient's family was still helpless and hopeless.
For Yan Guiqiu, he has a long way to go, so he also walked very slowly. When he was about to reach the gate, he felt Huang Ze pat him on the shoulder and said to them: "He asked me to apologize on his behalf. , but I don't think he has any regrets for you."
Yan Guiqiu looked at Huang Ze puzzled, but seemed to know who he was referring to.
His eyes were a little wet, but he didn't want to cry. He raised his head and bathed in the moonlight. Xia Feng was as soft as a woman's chest, which was intoxicating.
Tonight, the stars are shining.
