Mentor of the Soul
"Come in!"
Lin Qi waited for a moment after hanging up the phone and shouted "come in". The door of the office opened and Akumali walked in from the door.
This is a short local young man with thick eyebrows and an upright face. He is very suitable for playing roles that require sacrifice. Lin Qi immediately reminded me of movies.
A positive image that can directly give the audience a positive image without the need for additional plot shaping is the most suitable for sacrifice, because these people can inspire people to sacrifice for the positive and recognized characters deep in their hearts, and can bring more shock and emotion to the audience.
But they are not suitable for being protagonists. Firstly, they are not handsome enough. Secondly, in the protagonist position in the mainstream culture of Federal, there is no place suitable for such people.
These were all fleeting thoughts. Lin Qi looked at him, "You said your friend was arrested by the police. Do you know what he committed?"
After Akumali was silent for a moment, he decided to tell the truth. Even if he didn't tell, Lin Qi could ask on the phone. There was no need for him to waste his integrity on such a question that actually didn't make much sense.
He told Lin Qi, "They accused my friend of planning the demonstration not long ago, Master Lin Qi..."
Lin Qi raised his hand and interrupted him, "I don't know who asked you to call me 'Master Lin Qi', but I must tell you that I am not interested in such a call."
"It humiliates you and puts you at a personality disadvantage. It also insults me. At least I'm not that vulgar."
"I suggest you call me 'Mr. Lin Qi'. Of course, you can also just call me 'Lin Qi'."
Lin Qi's words surprised Akumali. He thought that all foreigners like to be called "Master". After all, whether it is Master Provincial Governor or the previous foreign master, they all like people to call them that. They like to feel superior to others, but Lin Qi is different.
He refused, which made Akumali look at Lin Qi a little... weird, like looking at a traitor among foreigners.
But he soon came back to his senses, "Yes, Mr. Lin Qi, my friend, I know very well that he is just a worker who has just learned how to repair cars. We are all ordinary people. It is impossible for us to plan and organize any demonstrations as the police said."
His voice was sincere, "If we really had that kind of strength, we would already be rich. Mr. Lin Qi. This is a slander against us. They just grabbed a random person and used them as a scapegoat. I beg you to help our people."
When Akumali said that his friend was arrested for planning and organizing a demonstration, Lin Qi probably already knew what was going on.
The arrest of Nagaril Youth Party did not seem to be as grand as we imagined. It did not cause uproar in the city, and there were police arresting criminals everywhere. Some people may think that the so-called arrest of Youth Party members is just a rhetoric, and the official is not that active.
But in fact, the arrest work has never been given up, and Lin Qi has also arranged for some bodyguards with criminal investigation capabilities to enter Police Station to become special consultants to assist the police in arresting those Youth Party members.
This is why Lin Qi previously talked about asking local Police Station to join some "foreign police". He needs to give his employees a legal identity to facilitate them to do some things.
Now that Akumali's friend has been arrested, it must not have been a mistake, because Lin Qi can trust his employees not to deceive him about this kind of thing - that is the big boss who planned and organized the parade. No matter how stupid they are, they will not deceive themselves about this kind of thing unless they feel that this job is too comfortable.
After Lin Qi looked at Akumali, he comforted him calmly, "I will understand the situation, but I must explain one thing to you before I call."
"As a foreigner, regardless of whether I have more weight in the eyes of some officials for some reasons, I will also abide by the laws here."
"If they cannot give conclusive evidence that your friend is the person they are looking for, I will protest to them and arrange for a lawyer to help your friend get rid of the police charges through judicial channels."
"But if your friend is indeed who they say they are, and they have relevant evidence..." Lin Qi said, shaking his head, "Then I can only say I'm sorry."
"I respect your personality, I respect everyone's personality, and I also abide by your laws. I will not trample on these laws just because I have some privileges in my hands. I hope you can understand."
Lin Qi looked at Akumali and said something that shocked him, "The law is sacred. It exists to measure people's behavioral standards and determine good and evil for everyone's behavior. Whether it is Federal or here, the law is above everything else!"
Without waiting for Akumali to say anything, Lin Qi picked up the phone in front of him and dialed Police Station's number.
After a series of conversations without much practical significance, Lin Qi hung up the phone. He looked at the expectant Akumali and shook his head, "The police have very sufficient evidence to accuse your friend of being the one who planned and organized the parade. There is more than one person who is willing to testify. Your friend is a high-level cadre of the local Nagaril Youth Party."
"I'm sorry, Akumali, I can't help you. Your friend is a criminal. The only thing I can do now is to find a lawyer for you. Maybe your friend will be able to use him..."
After coming out of Lin Qi's office, Akumali didn't feel particularly depressed. In other words, he had already realized that his trip was likely to fail when he came here.
He thought about many situations, and it turned out that he was not wrong, but he guessed the reason for the failure.
Lin Qi is not an arrogant rejection, nor is it a rejection of dissatisfaction with his identity, but because of the law!
This... makes people unable to feel any disgust at Lin Qi's rejection. Akumali even has a little respect for Lin Qi. He is indeed not an ordinary foreign businessman!
This is a very strange feeling. They should be enemies, because at the beginning Nagaril Youth Party's slogan was "expel foreigners". They were antagonistic. Now it has been reversed, but this existing antagonistic relationship still exists.
But he didn't hate Lin Qi at all. From Lin Qi and from the words Lin Qi said, he felt something he had never felt before, something called law, and the weight of law!
There was no law in Nagaril before, or the secular laws were far inferior to Theocratic Law. Of course, this is also the most common and normal situation in Nagaril society.
For those in power, Theocratic Law has more advantages for them than saying that if they kill someone, they can be exempted from guilt as long as they pay some money, so why do they still believe in secular laws?
Just to cause trouble for yourself? Nagaril The problem of clans and clans in the lower class society is serious, including the so-called "block clans". Every village and every street is an individual united together.
They believe in solving internal problems by themselves and solving external problems with fists. Various lynchings are prevalent. Theocratic Law also provides important support for their actions, which further makes Secular Law law a dispensable thing.
Until this moment, Akumali suddenly realized that what Nagaril needed to change most was not to let anyone go or to dominate society, but to face up to the role and value of the law! If people can strictly abide by legal rules and regulations instead of following Theocratic Law that can be interpreted freely, there will be an efficient and clean society.
He stood on the side of the road thinking about some issues. Youth Party's charter was too narrow. If he really wants Nagaril to stand up, he must first respect the law.
He glanced back at the small house, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the thick walls and saw Lin Qi sitting behind the desk.
What they themselves could not do, a foreigner did it, and Akumali believes that perhaps more foreigners are willing to believe in the value and significance of the law. This may be why those countries can become stronger.
The law is fair. It protects the rights of everyone in every class. The law is no longer a tool used by the rich and powerful to enslave the people. It is a tool that brings justice and a just future! He even thought about why foreigners were paid wages when they hired them. Some people said that this was the spirit of contract and the spirit of good faith. In fact, these were the spirit of the law. Those employment letters were legally binding. They abided by the law and paid wages to the workers in accordance with their obligations in the contract.
Akumali thought about a lot of things, and he vaguely felt that he might have touched a path that could make the country stronger, and it was completely different from the path chosen by others, a true and correct Broad Road!
Lin Qi didn't know that he casually brushed off this Akumali, which reminded him of so many things. If he could guess these, he wouldn't mind chatting more with Akumali.
Like what kind of power comes from the people, he must be very happy.
Lin Qi's attention at this time was actually on Akumali. After Akumali left, he called Sergeant in. "Arrange two people to follow the little man who came to my office just now and record where he is going next and who he is meeting. Try not to expose him."
Sergeant immediately accepted the order and arranged for people to go to work, but he came back not long after, "Boss, do we have to talk?"
"What are you talking about?" Lin Qi threw a solid-colored Kolef over, "Are you planning to get married too?"
