Chapter 1068

~7 min read 1,290 words

The light finally appeared in the woman's dead-silent eyes, followed by a wail, and she burst into tears.

In this night at the branch, she didn't know how she came through, and she didn't understand how it suddenly became like this.

Her man killed someone, what should she do by herself? There are elderly parents above, and children who don't understand anything below.

This night, she was like a small boat floating in the ocean, rising and falling with the wind and waves, not knowing when a big wave would hit and she would sink to the bottom of the sea.

She was afraid, she was helpless, she was desperate. Walking out from inside, she was like a corpse without a soul.

Now, Jian Qiu's sudden appearance is her life-saving straw.

Although she also knows that this life-saving straw may not necessarily save her life, but if she grabs it, she can have a chance to breathe.

Jian Qiu comforted the woman: "Tell me, how was the mediation at the police station that day, and how did such a serious incident happen yesterday."

The woman vented, feeling much brighter in her heart, and said with a sob.

"That day we reached an understanding with each other, and the police station didn't pursue the fight. I thought the matter had passed, so I didn't go there to sell anymore, but went to the market.

Yesterday those people ran to the market again, saying that we were violating regulations by setting up a stall there, and wanted to confiscate all our fruits or carts. But we paid the management fee, and there were so many stalls next to us, why were only we violating regulations?

I couldn't understand, and my man couldn't understand either. Of course, we couldn't let them take the things away. They said we were violently resisting law enforcement, overturned the stall, and beat my man.

It was too chaotic at the time, I just saw them surrounding my man and beating him, and then I heard someone was killed. At this time, I saw that my man was covered in blood, holding a knife in his hand, and three people were lying on the ground."

After speaking, the woman started to wail again: "We don't steal or rob, we live very hard, we want to live a good life, why is it not possible? Why?"

The woman's crying was heart-rending. Zhou Andong, who originally wanted to accompany Jian Qiu to go through the motions, was finally moved.

Yes, don't steal or rob, just want to live a good life, why is it not possible?

Perhaps, I should really try hard to help this woman who doesn't steal or rob and just wants to live a good life.

And those uncrowned kings who were originally indifferent were also moved, and some even had red eye sockets.

"Seeing you crying so heart-rendingly, those who don't know would think you suffered some great injustice."

The young reporter who questioned Zhou Andong just now suddenly sneered.

"It is a fact that you violently resisted law enforcement, and it is also a fact that you intentionally killed someone. Since ancient times, it has been a life for a life, what is there to be wronged about? Still just want to live a good life, is it only you who want to?

I tell you, everyone in this world wants to live a good life, including me. But the premise is that we must abide by the law. Did you abide by it?

So, you crying here is to win everyone's sympathy, right? It's useless, still the same sentence, a life for a life, this is an eternal truth."

Zhou Andong slowly turned around and looked at the young man with a faint smile on his face.

At this time, a group of people came out of the branch office building. The leader was a middle-aged man in casual clothes, and around him were police officers in police uniforms.

As soon as they came out, they heard the words of the young reporter. Then the middle-aged man waved his hand, and everyone stopped and stood not far away watching.

Zhou Andong had his back to the office building and didn't find this group of people, just looking at the young man.

"You are a reporter. Your duty and mission are to pursue the truth, without any personal emotions and subjective intentions, and report every news event truthfully to the public.

And you, completely abandoned your duty and mission. Without fully understanding the whole case, you made a rash judgment, saying they were violently resisting law enforcement and intentionally killing people.

Your behavior has seriously damaged the reputation of news media, tarnished the image of news media, and lowered the prestige and status of news work and news workers among the broad masses.

Once news loses the standard of authenticity and objectivity, the so-called news is worthless, and it will also push news work and news reporters to the edge of self-destruction."

The young man sneered: "Zhou Andong, you don't need to teach me how to be a reporter. I understand these principles better than you. How do you know I didn't understand the whole case?"

"You are really stubborn." Zhou Andong laughed lightly: "Violent resistance to law enforcement, there is a most important premise: is it illegal for peddler couples to set up stalls to make a living?

In addition, do the law enforcement officers at the scene have the status of state organ staff or business establishment staff? The constituent elements of violent resistance to law enforcement and obstructing official business require that the perpetrator knows that the other party is a state organ staff or business establishment staff.

If the law enforcement officers did not show their work certificates when enforcing the law, or they were not state organ staff or business establishment staff at all, where does the talk of violent resistance to law enforcement come from?"

Zhou Andong's words made the young man speechless, and also made everyone stunned, including the police officers behind him and the middle-aged man in casual clothes.

Zhou Andong thought that if there were outsourced non-establishment personnel among those law enforcement officers, perhaps the peddler's life could be saved.

If the person who died was an outsourced non-establishment person, then the space for operation would be even greater.

"Also, before the violent resistance to law enforcement you mentioned, was there violent law enforcement? If so, then the peddler couple is not violently resisting law enforcement, but protecting their own property rights and survival rights. Ordinary people, even their property rights and survival rights are deprived, will they care if they are resisting law enforcement?"

Zhou Andong looked coldly at the young man: "Peddlers and hawkers are legitimate occupations that have existed since ancient times. In this city, forced by life, he is engaged in a humble and poor job, with a difficult life and meager income.

But no matter how this society hurts him, he didn't steal or rob, didn't earn money by harming others, why should he still be deprived of his right to survive?

I want to ask the reporter comrades present, when a person's rice bowl for survival is smashed and he is forced into a dead end, what will you do? Will you be calmer and more patient than this peddler?"

Those who establish good laws in the world, the world will be governed. Our laws, our urban management system, are they to make our ordinary people happier or to make them more miserable?

I cannot help but ask, as law enforcers, and also rule makers, is your mission to make this society more harmonious or to make it more tragic?"
