089 Defending the guilty(1/2)
Yi Shui ignored the other party's statement and just said with a cold face.
"You cannot represent justice, and the law does not represent justice."
While talking, Yi Shui squatted down again and picked up the prisoner's body.
The laws of the three empires do allow the victim's close relatives to make reasonable punishments to those prisoners who have committed the crime.
But……
Reasonable, crucial.
What is reasonable?
It means that there are different degrees of punishment intensity and means according to the severity of the crime.
The death penalty, whether it is the imperial execution or the victim's close relatives, all have the same strict judgment conditions.
There are few crimes in this world that can be sentenced to death.
Obviously, neither theft crimes of the first two thieves or the man who was said to have committed a crime of force, would be sentenced to death.
What's more, Yishui also learned something from Bailan.
The bounty tasks released in the game are often just a task, not representing the final judgment or decisiveness.
The matter behind it is that some imperial institutions behind the Auxiliary Office need to confirm the implementation.
If players accept the bounty task of auxiliary soldiers, then arresting is the only function they are given and able to perform.
Other than that, they cannot do anything extra to the mission objectives.
Of course, this is the code of serious players.
There are also inappropriate auxiliary soldiers, such as the first player of Yishui's PK, and the warrior is very fun to play.
But no matter what, in the eyes of a serious auxiliary soldier player like Yishui, he needs to fully abide by the imperial laws... or the functions of the auxiliary soldier himself.
The auxiliary soldiers only have the authority to arrest them, and there is no right to convict or characterize them.
Even if you have these rights, the law itself cannot actually represent absolute justice.
Laws are just rules, they are the bottom line to prevent people from becoming worse, and they are tools used to protect the interests of most people.
Facing Yi Shui's words with a cold face, the man sneered.
"I stole a nail today, and I will stole a gold coin tomorrow."
"The punishment cannot be judged for unexplained crimes."
"When things happen, it's too late."
"Even if they really kill people, it's not your turn to execute the punishment. Just like you now, even if I see you appearing next to the deceased with a dagger, I won't kill you directly."
"Why?" The man turned around and stared at Yi Shui's eyes.
Yi Shui looked at him without fear.
"Because this is not the right that auxiliary soldiers should have."
“Should there be?”
"All prisoners need to have detailed inquiries, evidence collection, and investigation after being arrested to be thoroughly determined. If the auxiliary soldiers do not have this ability, they do not have this right."
“It is visible that they made a mistake.”
“First, if you don’t see it with your own eyes, it doesn’t mean it’s true.
Second, even if you see it with your own eyes, it does not mean there is no hidden truth behind it.
Third, anyone who makes a mistake needs to be sentenced according to the level of the crime, rather than killing it.
Since you are an auxiliary soldier, you should know Article 3 of the auxiliary soldier regulations-
Defend all guilty.”
When facing people who may have made mistakes, they should conduct detailed evidence investigations before finally making a final judgment.
If the evidence is not conclusive enough and the prisoner refuses to admit his death, he cannot make a final ruling easily.
The law of the empire does not govern people with punishment, but uses teaching to persuade people to govern people.
While talking, Yi Shui recalled a chat with Bai Lan on a different continent.
In fact, since Yi Shui learned that Bai Lan was a daughter, she rarely had the opportunity to have a long talk with her.
When they started to contact Bailan, the two were on the way to her hometown.
Later, after the time and space copy of Bailan's hometown was completed, Bailan and Aier fell asleep due to excessive overdrawing. Yishui briefly explained to Bailan's mother and left the territory where he was the lord.
When we met again, we were on a different continent.
One night before completely purifying the complete film of the foreign continent, Yishui had time to chat with Bailan for a while.
It was also at that time that Yi Shui realized what happened in the outside world when he was fighting against the greedy demon Mamen and the Golden Giant Mamen slave.
With the frequent bounty tasks in the city, Bailan was running around to help players accelerate the arrest of the prisoners and assisting the head of the Imperial Auxiliary Office to make the prisoners willing to confess.
And compared to time, it seems that the golden giant was in the last weak position.
That time, although Bai Lan did not fight side by side with him.
But to some extent, she also helped herself a lot.
To this day, Yi Shui didn't know whether Bai Lan made efforts outside that she didn't know, which would have a decisive impact on the completion of the incident at that time.
But at least one thing he knew was...
The law of the empire is not simply a punishment for any prisoner.
Punishment is a means, and guidance is the original intention.
And if the law that is relied on as a means cannot achieve justice to everyone, then how can it be called justice in a certain sense?
Yishui never feels that personal apology is justice.
When the ability to judge is insufficient, there is no need for justice.
Even if a final judgment has been made on something, everyone should realize that this is just the closest possibility to the truth under current evidence, not the absolutely correct truth.
So, no matter what, try not to use the death penalty.
Keep respect for life as much as possible.
Even when facing prisoners, we should seek the most appropriate and closest punishment and respect for the other party's basic rights.
This is the humanity that every law enforcer in the empire should have.
As an NPC auxiliary soldier, unlike a player auxiliary soldier who has been arrested, sometimes NPC auxiliary trainers need to provide critical evidence for the judgment of the case.
This is where all the regulations that auxiliary soldiers need to keep in mind.
At this moment, facing Yi Shui's questioning, the man sneered disdainfully.
He didn't make any rebuttals, not sure whether it was because of the word "deficiency" or the disdain.
The two walked silently.
Men don’t need Yishui to push and shovate, and they even know the direction of the auxiliary soldier office better than Yishui.
When passing by a certain intersection, Yishui suddenly received a system prompt.
"Borrow Mission - Capture of Thieves: A theft case occurred in the residence of No. 11, Sixth Street, Fifth Avenue, Stone City. Please go to investigate as soon as possible and catch the thieves."
And the target location of the mission shows...
It's not far away in front of you.
Looking at the door of the house with a wide open door, Yi Shui was a little stunned.
I am carrying a mission target here, but the thief case is close to me, but I can't take over.
The tied man smiled and said to Yishui.
"I'll lead you, will you catch me?"
this……
This is a solution.
This man himself is also an auxiliary soldier. Yishui doesn't know whether the number of tasks for NPC auxiliary soldiers is limited at the same time. Even if there are, the current NPC skills should not have any tasks.
Yishui nodded.
Anyway, if you have yourself here, this NPC is tied up, so there should be no way to do anything extra.
As for his proposal, we can indeed see this guy's true intention.
In the other party's heart, at least he was really considering the public security of this city.
Perhaps the other party’s methods are a bit fierce, but the other party’s starting point is indeed no problem.
"no problem."
Agree decisively.
The two of them immediately walked towards the room not far away.
To be continued...
