Excessive ferocity due to caution

"hypocritical?"

Chutebi was stunned.

He considered many reasons why Zhao Yi disliked Capital Hero.

But I never thought of the word "hypocrisy".

Why do you think he's hypocritical?

"Is it because he doesn't kill people?"

Zhao Yi replied:

"If you insist on discussing this issue, I could talk to you about it all day long."

"It is undeniable that it is a good thing for Capital Hero to fight crime."

"But... if you get to know this person more deeply, you'll realize just how hypocritical he really is."

Chutebi:

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know him well?"

Zhao Yi shrugged.

"I don't know."

"But if I may be so bold as to ask you this, has the emergence of Capital Heroes actually lowered the crime rate in V City?"

Chutby remained silent.

Zhao Yi asked again:

"Then do you know why even such a powerful capitalist can't restrain the evils of V City?"

Chutby began:

"Perhaps it's because there's only one person like that."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly.

You're only half right.

Chutebi was stunned:

"What about your other half?"

Zhao Yi explained:

"Because of his presence, the security forces in V City have not only not increased, but have shrunk significantly."

"Just look at the equipment Capital Man is wearing, and you'll know his true identity. He's definitely a super-rich man in V City."

"The technology he possesses is even more advanced than that of the military."

"Do you think it would be difficult for such an extremely wealthy person to improve public safety in V City?"

"He had so many options, but he chose the most useless one, which also caused the most lasting damage to public security in V City."

"Rather than saying he's upholding justice, it's more accurate to say he's just grinding levels and playing a thrilling and exciting real-life game."

"Moreover... by using his identity as a capitalist, he can also brainwash the lower and middle-class people in V City. This kind of brainwashing is extremely terrifying. He doesn't even need to rack his brains to write any lousy copy or think about how to phrase things..."

Zhao Yi's words sent chills down Qiu Tebi's spine.

He certainly doesn't like capitalists either.

That's why he approached Zhao Yi.

A large-scale robbery and hostage-taking occurred in the southern part of the city this time; it's impossible for people not to die.

He wanted Zhao Yi to tamper with the corpse so that they would have a reason to arrest Capital Hero.

Otherwise, the existence of capitalists will only further damage the reputation of their police department.

When this reputation falls to a certain level, it will affect their real power.

Both publicly and privately, the decline of real power in the city police department is something Chutby does not want to see.

But that was all the places Chutby could think of.

Zhao Yi's words sent a chill down his spine.

Just like the decline of police power in recent years, it was caused by the deliberate manipulation of seemingly righteous capitalists!

"What's your basis for saying he brainwashed lower- and middle-class people in the city?"

Chutebi urged Zhao Yi to continue.

Although Zhao Yi's novel views and opinions terrified him, he was still very curious about how all of this had happened.

Capitalist heroes are clearly expelling evil, so how did they become brainwashing ordinary people?

"No basis is needed."

Zhao Yi spoke up.

"This change was imperceptible; it was deeply hidden."

"The lavish attire of the Capital Man makes it clear to anyone that he is extremely wealthy and rich."

"His repeated acts of bravery give people the illusion that the social classes are not broken down and that the wealthy are working hard, even at the risk of their lives, to ensure the safety of ordinary people."

"This was a tremendous source of inspiration for them, ultimately leading to a sense of self-satisfaction."

"This kind of self-pity will blind their reason."

Zhao Yiyue said that Chu Tebi was increasingly alarmed.

"They will begin to subconsciously believe that the money flowing to the rich will eventually flow back to them in a positive way."

"And so they became willing to be slaughtered."

"Instead of exploring the 'Capital Man' himself, you should be more interested in where he got his high-tech gear."

"That's a huge amount of wealth!"

"And where did this wealth, which is completely beyond the current social conditions, come from?"

Bang!

After hearing Zhao Yi's words, Chutebi plopped down in the seat behind him.

His eyes widened slightly, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Seeing his reaction, Zhao Yi continued to add insult to injury:

"If someone that wealthy were truly determined to improve public order in V City and protect the safety of its citizens, would V City be in the state it is today?"

"Don't be silly, there's no such thing as justice."

"They are simply using the identity of 'capital heroes' to spread an ideology that is more conducive to the rich accumulating and reaping wealth."

Chutby was speechless.

He carefully examined the forensic doctor in front of him, who had worked at the police station for many years.

Zhao Yi used to be taciturn, like a block of wood, and rarely interacted with people.

I never expected to hear such an explosive viewpoint from him today!

The scariest thing is that he couldn't refute it!

That was truly a wake-up call!

"Human nature often manifests its evil side, but that doesn't mean everyone enjoys extreme chaos and madness."

"If one person becomes an outlaw, it may be an individual problem; if a group of people become outlaws, it may be an environmental problem; but if a human society continuously produces a large number of outlaws... then it can only mean that this society has become extremely distorted and pathological."

"If someone finishes work every day without having to work overtime, can go home and cuddle with their wife, watch a movie together in the evening, go shopping, or play games with friends, and go on outings together on holidays, what do you think is the likelihood that such a person would become a fugitive?"

Chutby blinked, his eyes sparkling.

"Chief, most of them didn't go crazy on their own."

"They...were driven insane."

"And the source and culprit of all this is the group of 'people' led by the capitalists who unscrupulously exploit and plunder the lower and middle classes of society."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly.

"Now let me ask you one more question: Do you think Capitalist Man is hypocritical?"

Chutby twitched his fingers.

Trembling.

Zhao Yi glanced at the tea on the coffee table and said calmly:

"You suddenly contacted me to ask about Capital Hero, you must be trying to get rid of him."

"After all, the police department has suffered enough at his hands over the years."

"However, my advice is that, given the current strength of the police force, you'd better give up on that idea."

"Because neither you nor I can deal with him."

"He is not a person."

"Furthermore, don't forget that as an absolute righteous figure, Capitalist Hero will not hunt down anyone, even if the other party is a vicious criminal."

"But... once the capitalist takes off his mask, things might change."

Chu Tebi remained silent for a long time, unable to speak. Later, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, shook it, and handed one to Zhao Yi.

"I never imagined that our police station would have someone as talented as you."

"Damn it, putting you in the forensic pathology department is a waste of your talent!"

As Chute said, he even lit a fire for Zhao himself.

The two were smoking in the office.

No one spoke.

Chutby's eyes were glazed over. After a long while, he spoke as if possessed:

"Is there any way?"

P.S.: It seems like my throat is gone.

I'm in so much pain I'm practically an idiot.

Goodnight, my darlings!
