"Mr. Pu, as you said, even monsters and ghosts must abide by human laws if they want to survive in the human world. You, as human beings, why can't you abide by the laws? Even if you are so-called hunting evil masters, you are

The police claim to be supervising demons and aliens. If they commit a crime, what you have to do is to catch them and bring them to justice. How can you remove them as you wish? According to you, 'removing' means killing them privately.

Bar?"

Yue Peng's tone became more serious, and his address to Pu Yang changed from the polite "Teacher Pu" to the polite "Mr. Pu".

Seeing his attitude, Pu Yang said without mercy: "If nothing else, can you find the murderer in this case? If you can find it, it won't be a problem even if you have to climb over the walls.

Can you catch the monsters who have stronger magic? To say the least, I helped you catch the monster. Can you guard them and let them formally go to court? Ordinary detention centers and prisons can trap them.

? That will only have one result - let them escape and inflict revenge on more people!"

Yue Peng still didn't believe that there were real monsters, so he felt a little bit annoyed by this hypothesis, and immediately came back: "In the case in front of us, we haven't caught the murderer yet. It doesn't mean that we can't catch the murderer! It doesn't mean that the murderer is not there yet.

These are the monsters you mentioned! No matter who the murderer is, we must bring him to justice! Law!"

"Okay..." Zhang Yongchun could only come out to smooth things over. He sighed: "Xiaoyue, I know you think I am getting older and have begun to believe in some mythical things. In fact, I just want to tell you that there is

Just because you haven’t experienced something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”

He stood up and added tea to the two of them, signaling them to calm down.

"Have you read "Zhuangzi"? Bei Hairuo said in the chapter "Autumn Waters": "A frog in a well cannot talk to the sea, because he is limited to the void; a summer insect cannot talk to the ice, but he is devoted to the time; a scholar cannot talk to the time.

A Taoist is bound by teaching...'" Quoting a few ancient poems, Zhang Yongchun himself laughed, "I dropped my book bag again..."

This passage is very famous, and both Pu Yang and Yue Peng have heard of it. That is to say: if you talk to a frog about the sea, it is impossible for him to believe it, because he only lives in a well.

Its vision is limited by the environment in which it grew up. It is impossible for a bug that lives only one summer from birth to death to believe anything about ice and snow.

It doesn't make sense because his vision is limited by the education he received...

"I'm not saying you are shallow, but you have never encountered supernatural events in the environment in which you live, so you don't believe in supernatural events. Using the metaphor of a frog in a well or a summer insect may be too strong a metaphor. Let's take a human being as an example. In ancient times,

There are no TV movies, and transportation is underdeveloped. If you tell tropical Africans that some places are covered in ice and snow, they will not understand, or that people can survive in the ice and snow. On the contrary, tell Eskimos that some places have high temperatures all year round.

They can't understand the extreme heat, or they can't understand that people can survive in such a high-temperature environment. This is a misunderstanding caused by the living environment and climate habits..."

"In modern times, even if you have never been to Africa or the North and South Pole, you still believe that those things exist, and you will think it is normal. But what about broadening it a little further? Because the earth we live on, humans need oxygen and

Water is the only way to survive. So when we search for extraterrestrial life, we also use this as a condition, thinking that a planet without water and oxygen cannot breed life. Is this also similar to the concept of primitive Africans and primitive Eskimos? If so

Primitive people searched for life on airplanes, but Africans probably ignored places covered in ice and snow, thinking that there could be no life in such places? Different environments breed life with different tolerances, and there may be planets that do not require oxygen and water at all.

What about water life?”

The old comrade spoke earnestly and thoughtfully, probably because he left the front line, worked in the provincial office for a long time, and got used to doing ideological work. "It's the same when it comes to monsters. We have never seen monsters in our living environment. Our education tells us since childhood.

This doesn’t exist, so we don’t believe in the existence of these things. But I’ve seen it, so I believe it.”

Pu Yang was a little embarrassed. Comrade Zhang Yongchun had always respected him. He kept saying "Teacher Xiao Pu", but he didn't expect that he would talk in a variety of ways, from Zhuangzi's fables and metaphors, to the primitive people in the tropical cold zone, to the universe.

The leap of extraterrestrial life is really huge. And aside from the inability to verify it in terms of time, what he said still makes sense from a logical perspective.

Even though he was like this, Yue Peng, as an old subordinate, was even said to have no temper. But he still argued: "I'm not stubborn, and I'm not disbelieving, but we are law enforcers, so forget what he just said.

Monsters must also abide by the law. So as monster hunters, shouldn’t they also abide by the law?”

"Let's change the analogy. Teacher Xiaopu eliminates demons, just like our police arrest criminals. If you encounter an extremely vicious criminal who endangers the safety of citizens, and he also carries guns and weapons, what will you choose?

Should he be shot to death, or should we insist on arresting him and facing legal trial?”

This metaphor hit his head directly, causing Yue Peng to ponder for a moment.

"If the criminal does not carry a lethal weapon and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, then you should be able to arrest him calmly; just like a demon hunter subduing monsters. If he is violent, he will kill innocent people indiscriminately at any time, and he has the ability to do so.

A large-scale indiscriminate killing of innocent people. If you want to arrest him and stand trial, the possible result is that more innocent lives will be lost. What will you do?" Zhang Yongchun asked again.

Yue Peng gave a bitter smile: "Zhang Chu, I understand what you mean. Just like the SWAT team facing terrorists, for the sake of public safety, the frontline can decide to kill the target directly..."

He was also upright. He had expressed his dissatisfaction with Pu Yang directly before. Now he was convinced by Zhang Yongchun's theory and immediately apologized: "Teacher Pu, I'm sorry, there is something wrong with my attitude. My main reason is..."

Pu Yang nodded: "It's okay, your insistence is right, it's just special treatment under special circumstances. Okay, back to this case. I just found the motive now, but there is no direct evidence to prove that it was the sea monster who did it.

of!"

Yue Peng and Zhang Yongchun exchanged glances, and then quickly asked: "Can you find the sea monster?"

Pu Yang spread his hands: "The police want evidence, and so do we. Without evidence, they can only invite people back to assist in the investigation, and their actions did not leave any evidence that can be recorded by normal means. Even if I come to the door privately,

It can only be a frank showdown, if the other party doesn’t admit it, I can’t force it.”

The two of them were immediately discouraged. Pu Yang finally found the direction, but the result was this. Without evidence, he couldn't even arrest the person, let alone eliminate him.

Pu Yang is also a little discouraged. He has such an investigation direction. In fact, based on the current situation of the monster clan mentioned by Qin Yao, he first assumes that the big monster He Hai among the sea monsters is the mastermind behind the scenes. Then it is very difficult to find his motives.

Maybe it was Qiao Benfa who ate it, or maybe his restaurant got He Hai's friends and relatives from the Sea Tribe Water Monster, so he killed him.

The information obtained now can only be regarded as a rough proof for him, but there is no direct evidence that it was He Hai who did it.

"This Qiao Benfa is the same. Whatever you want to eat, you have to eat an old turtle!" Yue Peng couldn't help complaining.

Zhang Yongchun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is caused by the Chinese people's concept of supplementation..." Then he started talking eloquently.

In ancient times, materials were scarce and there was no large-scale animal husbandry. Meat was still a luxury for ordinary civilians, who were basically working people and consumed a lot of physical energy, so there would have been some nutritional deficiencies. It was easy to

If you are weak and sick, you can just use chicken soup or the like to replenish your body. However, rich people pursue a rare thing and have the concept of eating velvet to make up for it. They think that eating deer antlers can be as hard as antlers, and eating tiger whip can make them stronger.

As fierce as a tiger.

In fact, according to the concept of modern nutrition, the nutrients needed by the human body basically fall into several categories: water, carbohydrates (sugar), proteins (amino acids), lipids, vitamins and minerals and other trace elements. Put aside some of the mythical

Regarding the psychological impact brought about by the mysterious theory, those holy nourishing products only have a little more amino acids and trace elements. Of course, there are also a few that contain ingredients that are not found in ordinary products, such as caffeine in coffee and ginsenosides in ginseng.

"Actually, some foods and medicines do contain more certain ingredients, but they are not that mysterious, and without testing and analysis, they may not be suitable for every physique. Even if they are suitable for the physique, there is still a relationship between the intensity and the quantity.

For example, some people may have nosebleeds after eating ginseng, and they say they are overdosing it. In fact, the ginseng from that area contains excessive amounts of heavy metals, causing mild poisoning that the body cannot metabolize."

"Zhang Chu, how come you know everything?" Pu Yang couldn't help but praise.

Zhang Yongchun smiled and sighed: "I am also getting older! As I get older, I am more afraid of death and pay more attention to health care. At one time, I also completely believed in some traditional medicine and traditional concepts, and was deceived by many packaged miracle doctors.

Later, I put aside the stereotypes of Chinese and Western medicine, read more books and materials, looked at it dialectically, and had a comparative understanding. Don’t criticize it as useless, and don’t deify it as mysterious. The praise that is reasonable and valuable is limited to the age and research technology.

The dross still has to be discarded, and don’t jump to conclusions if you can’t fully demonstrate it.”

Pu Yang drew inferences. Human beings have this deified psychology of nourishing food. Do monsters and ghosts also have a psychology of nourishing food? As far as the modern life of the monster clan is concerned, as Qin Yao said, most monster clans rely on humans.

You can survive with the food the world can provide, and you can still practice. But there are also people like wolf monsters who like to eat human heart marrow. Maybe human heart marrow also has certain nutritional value, but it may not improve the monster's intelligence and skill. It's not about taste.

Hobby is a kind of deified tonic psychology.

Seeing the two of them chatting about the theory of health maintenance and tonics because of his emotion, Yue Peng felt helpless, "You two, this is a 'murderous case caused by a bowl of soup', but we should pay attention to the murder, not the soup!
