Kai didn't even bother to talk about them. In fact, Kai still didn't quite understand why the authors of those superhero comics like to let their heroes wear tights to highlight their figures? It seems that this is the only reason. That thing can't provide any defense at all.
Bang!
Kai threw out a newspaper, and the headline on the front page was the three of them.
"You are famous! I believe that it won't be long before the whole United States knows you. Are you happy?"
The three people had completely different attitudes towards the newspaper. Kelly's eyes were shining. If Kai hadn't been watching her closely, it's possible that this girl would have taken the newspaper to appreciate her heroic appearance. Diana snorted proudly. On the surface, she didn't care, but in fact, she was still full of a sense of accomplishment. Only Catherine didn't react at all. She was used to hiding in the dark and was not very enthusiastic about this kind of thing. She would follow the nonsense because she was bored.
Seeing that the three still didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, Kai was a little speechless.
"Do you think this is a good thing?"
Kelly glanced at Kai and found that Kai's expression was no longer as angry as before, so he said boldly: "Isn't it? We are doing good things. You don't know what those people did."
Kelly told them what they saw and heard.
They saw hell on earth in Carlos's lair. Dozens of stowaways smuggled from South America to Chicago were hidden in a container. Because of the lack of ventilation, two younger children died of lack of oxygen. In the container, the smell of sweat, excrement and dead bodies mixed together, making everyone inside dying.
Those young and beautiful girls were picked out by the snakeheads and forced to sign so-called work contracts. Their first job was to be forced to have sex with those bastards, and they didn't charge any money.
Some girls who planned to resist suffered even worse. They were beaten and raped. Even when Kelly and others arrived, two girls died because they couldn't bear the torture!
"Those bastards don't have any humanity at all!"
Kai didn't say anything, but he could think of it. There are only two kinds of people in this world that Kai hates the most, one is drug dealers, and the other is human traffickers. The former is inhumane, and the latter is inhumane. Kai also handled several cases of human traffickers in his previous life, but those cases were also a challenge for Kai, a challenge that tested his extreme rationality.
Every time I see those families on the verge of collapse because of the loss of their children, and those children who are rescued but no longer innocent, this is still good. There are even more hateful things. Kai once carried out a joint operation with brother units in neighboring provinces to rescue a group of children who were abused. Those children were disabled and then begged...
Sometimes, human hearts are really more vicious than anything in the world. →
In short, after seeing that scene, those experienced old detectives who are used to life and death couldn't watch it anymore.
I really want to cut those guys into pieces.
So Kai himself is not angry with Kelly and others' actions.
"We didn't say you did it wrong, I said you should do it more cleanly!"
Just a group of human traffickers, just kill them. But that's not how it works. Why make such a big scene?
"Make it clean?" Kelly didn't understand.
"That's right! Without a body, there is no case. Without bloodstains, there is no evidence. Without gunshots, there is no report! It's just murder. There's no need to make it so bloody, right? With your abilities, you can do it without anyone noticing. Why make it known to everyone? More importantly, if you do this, it will attract the attention of those forces with bad intentions. Once they are targeted, you won't have a good life."
Kai really doesn't object to them being chivalrous. After all, this is a science fiction novel, not a cultivation novel. If you have the ability, you can naturally do what you can. Anyway, you can't be immortal like in the cultivation novels.
But the problem is that there is no need to make such a big scene.
But Kelly and the other three Kai's advice was a little disapproving.
"But we are doing good things! Besides, they come if they want, we are not afraid of them!" Kelly is relatively young and energetic, and doesn't think those mysterious organizations are powerful at all.
Kai is just afraid that they will think so.
"Good things? Really? Maybe now the newspapers are reporting that you are superheroes and praising you, but what about later? You are killing people! And you are unscrupulous! You know, just today, Theresa found me. The top police officers are very angry about what you did. They have issued an order to arrest you. This is just the beginning. Maybe you will think that only those in power will do this, and ordinary people will support you."
"Isn't it?" This time it was Diana who asked the question. She felt that they were doing good things, and the biggest beneficiaries were those ordinary people, who should stand on their side.
"Haha, if you were an ordinary person, would you like a murderer?"
"But we kill bad guys!" Diana was very dissatisfied with Kai calling them murderers.
"So what? How many people do you think will care? Now they may be happy that you killed those human traffickers and will worship you, but what about later? What will they think if you continue to kill people?"
American society, and even the entire Western society, has been poisoned by a kind of unlimited maintenance and protection of so-called "human rights". There are so many social groups in the society who are defending and shouting for those criminals who deserve it the most. They call for the abandonment of the death penalty and emphasize the need to improve the treatment of those criminals. There are even countries that believe that criminals who escape from prison should not have their sentences increased or their sentences increased, because it is human nature to yearn for "freedom"...
In fact, Kai really doesn't understand this approach. The death penalty is stipulated in the law not to satisfy the killing desire of some people, but to protect the lives and safety of more people. It is a kind of deterrence. Just like in the past, China has never abolished the death penalty, so some Western media began to write articles around this, and even wanted to confuse right and wrong and accuse our country of having no human rights. There is also a group of idiots who don't know whether they are really stupid or pretending to be stupid, following the foreigners and making a fuss, inexplicably thinking that China's failure to abolish the death penalty is a manifestation of backwardness, and abolishing the death penalty is a sign of civilization...
Where is the logic?
Only thinking about protecting the human rights of these bad guys, who will protect the human rights of those good citizens?
I've gone too far, back to this matter. At this stage, the matter has just begun to ferment. In order to attract the attention of the public, the media will naturally suppress it first and then praise it, because this will cause controversy, and with controversy, there will naturally be attention.
In fact, another version of this matter has already appeared on the Internet.
They are like wise men who are sober while everyone else is drunk. They tell others that those criminals are not guilty of death according to the sentencing, and that this is a violation of human rights and so on.
Kai believes that if this continues, according to the current political correctness, public opinion will soon turn around. By then... the current superheroes will soon become a situation where everyone shouts and beats them.
"We do things for justice! Not for the praise of others at all!"
Diana said unyieldingly.
Kelly glanced at Diana, then puffed up her proud chest a little guilty.
Catherine curled her lips. She really didn't care. She was originally a weapon. Have you ever seen a weapon care about other people's evaluation? But Diana and Kelly are different. Kelly is okay. She is really vain, but Diana... this woman is a proud bitch who doesn't mean what she says!
Don’t look at what she said now that she doesn’t care about other people’s opinions, but in fact, she cares a lot.
She just kept looking at the newspaper.
“Really?” Kai didn’t comment. “Okay, just assume you don’t care. Then your friends and family don’t care? Don’t think you are hiding well. Which idiot told you that wearing a mask will make people unrecognizable?”
Of course it’s superhero comics!
For example, Superman, others wear glasses and no one can recognize him...
Kelly is very guilty.
“With the current criminal investigation methods, there are too many methods to confirm a person’s true identity. Not to mention fingerprints and DNA, which are all played out in TV dramas. Voiceprints, images, voice, tone, habitual movements, tiny traces at the scene, and even a little bit of body tissue that you accidentally dropped, such as dandruff, hair, etc. If someone is willing to invest a lot of resources, they can even find out where your clothes are made from the fiber tissue on these ‘strange clothes’ on your body!”
Kai is a criminal investigator, so he naturally knows that investigating a person is not as difficult as imagined, it’s just a matter of investment. If it really costs tens of millions, there will be no one in this world that cannot be photographed. In reality, the missing people are not impossible to find, but the question is whether it is worth it. Nothing is difficult in the world if one is determined.
Some people say that life depends on fate, so why should we talk about the cost of saving people?
This is of course true, but the problem is that we have to consider the reality! Take Kai's previous branch as an example. The financial allocation is so much. Let alone spending tens of millions on a case, even spending hundreds of thousands on a case is not enough. There is no way. Resources are limited. You can't just focus on one case and give up the whole forest, right? The ultimate goal of the police is to maintain social order, but the question is what can you do without money?
But in this case, it is different. Some organizations are willing to spend tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, to find the true identity of Kelly and others.
Kai's words made several people speechless. Of course, the most important thing is Kelly, she still has a mother!
Diana doesn't have many relatives in the human society, but the problem is that she is not free. She also has social life and her own friends. Catherine, on the other hand, is truly free from worries, but she likes modern society and doesn't want to lose her hobby of shopping.
"People can't live in a vacuum. If you still want to live freely, you must pay attention to your behavior!" Kai said a little sternly.
"So what do you mean... we should turn a blind eye to those crimes?"
"Of course not!" Kai will not stop them from doing justice. As mentioned in the previous article, Kai is a result-oriented person. Result-oriented people don't care whether the procedure is legal, but the result is everything. Therefore, in their eyes, as long as it is a crime, it should be punished, and the procedure is only a tool rather than an end. The result should not be denied because of the illegality of the procedure, but the procedure should serve the result.
Kai never thinks that this is absolutely correct, and nothing in this world is certain. But this is the most in line with human nature. So he doesn't care much about their chivalry. After all, doing so is indeed punishing criminals, and its positive significance cannot be denied at all.
What Kai cares about is the method and approach. The same result, using different methods, will bring completely different impacts.
"You can be more flexible and smarter!"
Kelly was immediately interested: "Then how to do it?"
"You must classify the criminals you know. Don't kill them randomly, that will not do much good except to disgust the public. For example, for some minor crimes, you can beat them up, even if they leave some disabilities. For example, twisting fingers, breaking arms, etc., or breaking limbs for more serious ones, and if possible, throw these two types of people to the police, so that they can learn their lesson, and not only get beaten but also go to jail. There are also some extremely heinous crimes, of course you can make them disappear from the world, but you have to do it cleanly and quietly."
Diana thought about it, and couldn't help but retort: "Won't that deter others?"
"Tsk... Do you think those criminals are really that stupid? If a living person disappears, they won't think about it? Will they naively think that those who disappeared went on a trip?"
Criminals like those who bleed on the streets actually have much better information channels and sensitivity than the police. The police need evidence for everything, but they don't need it. They are good at things like free conviction. Once this happens more often, they will naturally understand.
Diana certainly won't understand those gangsters.
"And... aren't you here to find the statue of Ares? Why are you fooling around with Kelly?" As Kai was talking, he remembered that Diana didn't come to the United States for the statue? Why is she not in a hurry about this matter after so long? "Oh, and you! Catherine!"
Diana was still thinking about what Kai said, but she was suddenly asked this question, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Kelly felt very wronged. What does it mean to fool around with me? The most active one is Diana! Kelly felt wronged, but she didn't dare to say it. Diana was her master...
Catherine still didn't care much: "My main purpose is to come to you. As for the statue... Oh, there will always be a way when the time comes."
Catherine's idea is actually very simple. If the sky falls, there will be a tall person to hold it up. Let's talk about it later!
A very salty mentality.
Although Diana is not so salty, she probably thinks so in her heart.
