I continued, "People always tend to notice those who are different."
"For example, the wealthy second-generation at the street corner, and then..."
I looked at the Senior Officer. "You."
The Senior Officer was taken aback. "Me?"
I smiled. "Yes, you stand out here, unlike those junior officers, so they can easily notice you."
"And those junior officers all look quite similar, making it hard to tell one from another."
"People find it difficult to remember ordinary individuals."
"So..."
I turned to the Senior Officer and said with a smile, "Do you know what I’m getting at?"
The Senior Officer pondered for a moment before realization dawned on him.
He nodded. "I see now."
I chuckled softly. "But, Officer, you should be careful."
"After all, cases here are quite frequent."
The Senior Officer paused, then gave a wry smile.
"Miss Lin, why do you use the word 'here'?"
I tilted my head and replied with a grin, "Because this is Hehuan Alley."
"Hehuan Alley, as the name suggests, is a place filled with many Acacia trees."
"During the Republic of China era, a group of refugees arrived here."
"They settled down and thrived."
"There was a poor scholar at the alley's entrance who introduced a tree called Acacia."
"The Acacia Tree coexists with ants."
"The ants build their nests on the trunk, gnawing on the leaves and sucking the sap."
"And in order to survive, the Acacia Tree grows a 'Honey Gall' on the ant nest."
“‘Honey Gall’ contains sweet liquid for the ants to consume.”
“The Acacia Tree compromises with the ‘Honey Gall’ to secure space for its survival.”
“The people in the alley are much like this Acacia Tree.”
“They support each other through tough times.”
“In that chaotic era, they survived through their own efforts.”
The Senior Officer listened to my words, his expression growing solemn.
“Miss Lin…”
I smiled slightly, “Officer, I’m not trying to excuse those people.”
“I just…”
I glanced out the window, my gaze distant.
“I feel a bit of sympathy for them.”
The Senior Officer remained silent, simply listening.
I sighed softly.
“In this world, some are born with a silver spoon in their mouth.”
“Some have everything from the start.”
“They enjoy privileges and trample on the law.”
“And those who have nothing can only struggle to survive.”
“They give their all but end up living like dogs for those rich second-generation heirs.”
“All they want is merely to stay alive.”
The Senior Officer looked at me with a hint of pity.
“Miss Lin…”
I smiled again, “I’m fine.”
“I just…”
I gazed out the window, my thoughts distant.
"I'm just a bit unwilling."
"Why is it that some are born in Rome while others have to struggle just to live like a person?"
"This world is inherently unfair. Should we deny the meaning of effort because of this injustice?"
The Senior Officer fell silent.
I continued, "That's why I did all of this."
"I hope this world can be a little fairer."
"I hope those innocent people won't have to endure such painful experiences anymore."
"I hope..."
I looked out the window again, my gaze far away.
"Justice will never be absent."
The Senior Officer smiled, "Miss Lin, we are also police officers."
"We believe in this just like you do."
I smiled back, "Oh, then I can rest easy."
"I thought you were in cahoots with those people."
The Senior Officer laughed heartily, "How could that be?"
"We're police officers!"
I nodded, "True enough."
"After all, police are all a bunch of madmen."
"They'll do anything for justice."
The Senior Officer raised an eyebrow, "Miss Lin, are you complimenting us?"
