Baidu Bridge is an old bridge that has been built for more than a hundred years, made of all steel. It seems nothing to be true to now, but in the early 20th century, it was a very remarkable thing.

At that time, the Baidu Bridge carried extremely important traffic on both sides of the Shenjiang River. There were occasionally cars passing by horse, donkey, and cars, but now all motor vehicles are prohibited and only pedestrians are allowed to walk. For the citizens of Shenpu, the symbolic significance is greater than the traffic significance.

In recent years, nostalgia has begun to blew, and young people have gone to Baidu Bridge to visit ancient nostalgia. The TV station spared nostalgia to promote the glorious history of the bridge at that time, of course, it will be related to the unique wars of that era and the anecdotes of various tycoons in Shenpu. After a while, this place has become a place that is often filmed in the movies, and naturally it has become a good place for young people to talk about love. As a result, many houses that were originally to be demolished were protected by the district government and rented out for expensive rent. There are many old-style Western restaurants, cafes and bars with the flavor of Dashenpu in the 1920s and 1930s. This place has become a microcosm of the colonial culture that year.

Wei Tiantian walked up to the west end of Baidu Bridge, which was a little deserted here, not better than the ones developed in the east end.

There is a rolling river water under your feet, as if telling an old story. This scene makes Wei Tiantian, a girl from other places, seem to see the crazy Shenpu Beach in the 1920s and 1930s.

A hand gently placed on Wei Tiantian's shoulder. Wei Tiantian was shocked and turned around suddenly, but it was Luo Jin, who then relaxed again.

"Why did you ask me to come here?" Looking at the couples walking around, Wei Tiantian felt a strange feeling in her heart.

"I haven't been here for a long time. Come and take a look. There are so many changes." Luo Jin looked at the familiar but unfamiliar Baidu Bridge, but his eyes were filled with stalls on both sides of the bridge more than 20 years ago, as if the city god temple was also noisy, rather than the quiet place where lovers gather now.

"You should give me an explanation." Wei Tiantian was stunned for a while, but still got to the point.

"Come on one by one, which one do you want to know first?" Luo Jin moved to Wei Tiantian's right hand, and leaned against the railing of the iron bridge regardless of the valuable clothes he had on his body.

"Your true identity..."

Luo Jin shook his head: "You know you can't ask anything about this. I said I am just an ordinary person and you won't believe it. But if I really have the kind of identity you expected, you should also know what discipline and confidentiality are."

Wei Tiantian was stunned and thought about it. It seemed that Luo Jin's words made sense. Anyway, she would not believe that Luo Jin was an ordinary person no matter what. How could he have such magical skills? Wei Tiantian had also seen the bodyguard of the highest leader, which is the legendary master of the inner world. Compared to Luo Jin, it still seems to be worth mentioning.

However, after Luo Jin said this, Wei Tiantian felt that she should not continue to get entangled in this issue.

"Why can you know about the murder in advance every time?"

So far, except for the case he was arrested and Liu Yan's case, there were no dead people, and other murders. Moreover, from the analysis of the case, Wei Tiantian can conclude that Luo Jin was preventing some murders, but had to let someone on the other side die. The biggest problem was not that Luo Jin killed people. In fact, at least in Wei Tiantian's eyes, the people who killed Luo Jin were all self-defeated. Even after being arrested by the police, they would most likely be sentenced to death or at least lifeless. However, Luo Jin clearly knew about these crimes before the crime occurred, so he could take action to stop them and allow the original murdered person to survive.

"I can't explain this clearly. What I can tell you is that I can indeed know some possible murders in advance. Every once in a while, I will get some instructions, and each of these instructions corresponds to a murder."

"Source of the order!" Wei Tiantian asked anxiously.

Luo Jin shrugged: "The less you know some things, the better it will be for you. Once you know, I'm afraid you will be the next command I received."

Wei Tiantian frowned. Since she met Luo Jin, she has gone from seeing Luo Jin as a person in the secret department at first, and then because of the intervention of the Security Investigation Bureau and some clues, she believes that Luo Jin is not an agent, but may be a retired soldier, or a mercenary with a complex background from abroad, and now she believes that Luo Jin is in a secret department that is likely to be above the Security Investigation Bureau. Even the Security Investigation Bureau is not qualified to inquire about Luo Jin's identity and files. It can be said that Luo Jin is now extremely complex in Wei Tiantian's mind, and it seems that every identity is possible, but Wei Tiantian is more willing to believe that Luo Jin is serving the country. However, if an agent like him is just used to pay attention to some criminal murder cases, it seems to be too low-level.

Therefore, Wei Tiantian has never been able to be sure whether her guess was right or wrong. However, Luo Jin's words still convinced Wei Tiantian. After all, no matter whether Luo Jin is a secret agent with extremely high concentration or a mercenary with a complex background abroad, the more police officers of Wei Tiantian know, the more dangerous it is. From Luo Jin's words, Wei Tiantian's only sure thing is that Luo Jin is definitely not fighting alone, and there is an extremely complex and complete organization behind him.

“Instruction content…”

"A ID number can correspond to a certain person, most of whom are from the city, and occasionally there will be people from other places. However, when I get this ID number, this person will definitely appear on the ground of Shenpu. In other words, the location of the murder case must be within the entire city of Shenpu, but this ID number cannot tell me whether the person it corresponds to is the murderer or the victim. This requires me to follow up before I can draw a conclusion."

When Wei Tiantian heard this, she was shocked: "Doesn't this mean that you may treat the murderer as the victim and help the murderer kill the real victim?"

"Generally, I wouldn't kill before I'm absolutely sure, or, in case of unnecessary circumstances, I'd rather break their knees and lose their power. This is also a direct manifestation of my attempt to minimize the possibility of making mistakes. However, I admit that what you said, I'm indeed likely to make mistakes, although I think the chance is very small."

"What department is this? It's just a mess!" Wei Tiantian was a little excited, her voice was a little louder, and several couples next to her looked at this side.

Luo Jin stretched out his hand again and gently patted Wei Tiantian's shoulder: "My understanding is that they can only predict the occurrence of the crime, but they cannot predict the details. Therefore, they can only obtain the ID number of a relevant person, but they cannot confirm his identity immediately. However, this is also the most interesting part of what I have done so far. If I knew who the murderer was and who was the victim from the beginning, then I just need to kill the murderer in advance and the matter will be over. But in this way, we will never know why the murderer wanted to kill, and we will never know the entanglement between him and the victim."

"This is even more terrifying!" Wei Tiantian immediately concluded, "If that is the case, you don't know whether the person you killed is the murderer. Then you become a murder machine and shoot when you get the instructions. What's the difference between it and a professional killer?"

Luo Jin nodded and smiled rare: "It seems you understand quite well, so, in this situation, I can at least ensure that I will do as good as possible, or, at least so far, I have not become a murder machine. Those who die are all damn people."

"What you mean is that the organization behind you hopes you can become the person who prevents the murder, but do you know how many lives you have on your hands now? What does this organization think it is? Do you have an underground judge? Is life and death the master? What's the use of law?"

Luo Jin smiled again: "The law is useless in the face of many situations."

Wei Tiantian was silent. Although she had not been engaged in the criminal police industry for too long, she had seen too many criminals escape from justice. The law could not achieve complete fairness. Powerful people could use countless means to escape from crimes. People like Liu Yan knew where the murderer who killed her sister was, but they could not seek justice and revenge, and finally they embarked on such a path of no return. Fortunately, Luo Jin appeared and saved her in time.

Justice and law, to some extent, may be contradictory.

However, as a policeman and a criminal policeman in an international metropolis, Wei Tiantian could not watch such a so-called just organization that transgressed the law, especially since she had seen how omnipotent Luo Jin was.

Wei Tiantian is also very conflicted now. On the one hand, she feels that Luo Jin’s actions are not wrong, but on the other hand, Luo Jin is just fighting against the law, or in other words, the organization behind him is fighting against the law.

"I know what you are thinking, but I can tell you that no one can order me to kill anyone, and I can choose to follow up or give up any instructions I have received..."

"Nonsense! Have you ever given up now?" Wei Tiantian immediately retorted.

Luo Jin shrugged: "No, but there may be some next, who knows? I also hope that the murder can be prevented without using violence, but at present, the success rate is not high. Today, this case can be considered one. Even without me, you can only choose to kill Li Jun. The difference is who will shoot."

Wei Tiantian fell into deep thought again. She was actually judging whether a person's standards of justice may be higher than true justice.

This is actually the last line of defense to whether Luo Jin’s actions are worthy of being indulged!
