The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 291 Peggy: If you want to be a psychopath, you deserve it too?

Princeton University.

student dormitory.

Little Sheldon and his party came here.

Although because of his young age, Little Sheldon lived in Beverly's house, but in order to win Little Sheldon's help and sponsorship, the principal of the university offered to provide Little Sheldon with a place to live during his lunch break.

Still a deluxe room!

Speaking out the conditions made a group of college students envious and jealous.

Fortunately, little Sheldon can always get the favor of fate and make the choice that is most conducive to his survival.

Because when other college students asked him to borrow dormitories to 'study', he felt that 'children can be taught', so he readily agreed.

The result was pair after pair of study buddies, mostly male and female, but not limited to that, borrowing little Sheldon's dormitory.

It eventually developed to the point where Little Sheldon made the schedule himself.

For young Sheldon, who likes to make plans the most, it's double the fun.

In the end, someone called out the truth inside, made little Sheldon disgusting, and cleaned it himself over and over again.

Ok.

This discerning person is naturally Chuck.

"It's so lively."

As soon as Little Leonard and Little Howard came in and watched the dynamic music, the corridors slid past the energetic college students on scooters from time to time, their eyes lit up.

"It's still a mixed dormitory!"

Little Howard saw a girl in cool clothes walking by, and his eyes straightened: "I like this place!"

"Please! You're not Sheldon."

Beverly shook her head reminding.

"..."

Little Howard lowered his head.

He may be a genius, but he's not at the level where he can go to college at the age of 12.

"I don't like this excitement!"

Little Sheldon frowned and said: "But there is no way, no matter where I go, I am destined to be the most popular one.

Like in high school, I helped my dad lead the football team to win game after game.

Every time I entered the school, I was greeted warmly by everyone.

Those girls hated me even more, they just hugged me in their arms and rubbed me vigorously.

You also know that it will suffocate, okay..."

"I am willing to be smothered to death!"

Little Howard's eyes were red.

It was the first time he had heard of little Sheldon having this experience, so that he couldn't even say the usual sarcasm, and he immediately imagined the dynamic scene.

For him as a small SP, he was simply envious and jealous.

Although he knew that he was inferior to little Sheldon in IQ, he actually looked down on little Sheldon.

Now, for the first time, I feel like I can't replace it.

"Obviously you didn't have that bad experience, or you wouldn't say that."

Little Sheldon took a look at him as a matter of course.

Let alone Howard Jr., even Leonard Jr. had to endure with all his strength so as not to let his expression of envy, jealousy and hatred be too obvious.

Because he had a strong premonition that once he did that, his mother, Beverly, would never save face for him, but would directly expose some of his personal privacy that he didn't want to be told in person...

"let's start."

Beverly reminded.

"it is good!"

Little Sheldon nodded: "They took away my loudspeaker, so let's use the dormitory administrator's authority to cut off the power and the internet to force them to come to my dormitory."

"So much the better."

Beverly nodded.

So a group of four people waited for the explosion of the entire dormitory building in Little Sheldon's dormitory after the dormitory network power was cut off.

Not for a while.

The college students who were originally happy, became restless, opened the door and walked over one by one.

"It's him again?"

"Apart from him, who else?"

"No way, he looks so timid, how dare he do this?"

A group of college students came over amidst the shouts of anger, and there was an irritable old man who directly smashed the door with his fist.

"Open the door!!!"

The door opened, revealing little Sheldon with his chin raised, looking at everyone fearlessly: "yes?"

"Did you cut off the electricity and the internet again?"

Someone asked directly.

"It's me, and this is my right as a supervisor."

Little Sheldon said: "The principal gave me, and the clauses have already been shown to you."

"We didn't see it."

People will naturally not admit it.

It's one thing to ignore it, or even tear up the principal's clause as if you don't know it, but it's another thing to admit it openly.

This is not a cat or a dog's pheasant university, and the students don't take their diplomas seriously.

This is Princeton University!
Offending the principal, the result is definitely not something they can bear.

"Hurry up and restore the power grid!"

The irascible old man who had stuck Little Sheldon on the wall before pushed forward directly, and leaned into Little Sheldon's ear and threatened, "Unless you want to be hung on the wall again, little genius!"

"I do not think so."

Little Sheldon looked back at Beverly and the others, saw them nodding to him, so he retorted, and then took out the newspaper from his pocket.

"What is this, is it your forged principal's order again..."

The students wanted to pretend that they didn't know, but they were surprised to find that it wasn't when they glanced over it. When they looked closely, it was a newspaper.

"what is this?"

The irritable old man who took the lead, after a moment of surprise, looked at Little Sheldon speechlessly, and was about to laugh at Little Sheldon with his classmates, but found that there was no one behind him.

"Huh! Where are the people?"

The irritable old man was stunned.

"They're gone."

Little Sheldon and Beverly looked at each other, and their eyes showed the pride of doing the experiment.

They saw with their own eyes just now that when he took out the newspaper from his pocket, the irritable old man didn't recognize him, but one of the students recognized the now famous Esther.

Those who can enter Princeton University are not fools, on the contrary, they are quite smart, and they immediately understood the purpose of Little Sheldon.

Although I don't believe that Little Sheldon will really blacken for this kind of thing.

But they obviously don't want to take any risks for it either.

So after whispering each other, they all quickly withdrew.

Only the irritable old man standing on the front line didn't react.

But soon, his cell phone rang, and he took it out to have a look, only then did he understand what the students were worried about.

Then he couldn't help looking into the dormitory, and saw Beverly, who had a similar expression to Little Sheldon, smiled and nodded beside Little Sheldon.

There were two other little boys beside him, and the one with the extremely wretched expression turned over his collar to reveal a photo with Este.

The irritable brother who reacted couldn't help but shuddered, then backed away with a smile.

"Sure enough, the effect is very good."

Little Sheldon looked at Esther's profile picture in the newspaper: "There's nothing wrong with being a bad guy."

"you sure?"

Little Leonard couldn't help laughing: "Think about where she is now? Prison! You can't stay that night!
And who sent her in?Even if you really want to blacken, you can't be the great devil who rules the world! "

The figure of Chuck immediately appeared in Little Sheldon's mind, the joy just now disappeared instantly, and the whole person became unhappy again.

Chuck, who was mentioned by them, was playing chess in Peggy's apartment with Beth Harmon and Linda, and then received a call from Chief Randy Tischer.

"Chuck, something is wrong. I received news that Esther has chosen Harrison Powell as his defense attorney."

"and then?"

Chuck asked calmly.

"I know he's lost to you, but he's the No. [-] criminal lawyer on the East Coast."

Randy said worriedly: "The prosecutor and I are a little worried."

"Nothing to worry about."

Chuck said straightforwardly.

"Dr. Wolfe."

The prosecutor's voice rang directly on the phone: "My concern is not the plea, the evidence is solid.

My concern is that Harrison is fighting the case as if the mentally ill were incompetent.

I just looked at his newly submitted evidence.

Why don't you come and have a look? "

"it is good."

Chuck saw that they were all so worried, so he didn't insist anymore. He nodded and agreed, hung up the phone, and everyone looked over.

"Is it Esther's case?"

Linda and the others were not easy to talk to, but Monica didn't care about it and asked directly.

"Correct."

Chuck said as he walked out: "You accompany them, I will go there."

"Any new developments?"

Monica followed Chuck to the door: "Is there any problem with this case?"

"Defense lawyers want to use Esther's mental illness as an excuse to acquit Esther."

Chuck stopped and explained.

"How is this possible!"

When Monica heard this, she immediately frowned.

"Even if the insanity is innocent, isn't he released immediately?"

Linda immediately excitedly said: "Should we also close the mental hospital?"

"Correct."

Chuck nodded, and when Linda just breathed a sigh of relief, he reminded straightforwardly: "But even being put in prison is not so safe, and there are various commutation measures, which may be released in advance.

Not to mention a mental hospital.

As long as she has a relationship or can perform, she can be released in advance.

Let me tell you a classic case and you will understand.

There was once a mentally ill man who had a tendency to commit serial perverts. Obviously, the psychiatrist diagnosed that he would definitely commit crimes once he got out.

But for various reasons, he still went out.

caused a series of violent crimes.

The innocent victims died horribly.

But after the criminal was caught, he was still sentenced to a mental illness, and he was put in prison again, and the process began to repeat.

If you've seen DC Comics Batman, it should feel very familiar.

The folk customs are simple and honest in Gotham City, Arkham is full of outstanding people.

These plots and settings are not imagined out of thin air, but are completely drawn from reality. "

"How could this be?"

Beth Harmon frowned, and looked at Chuck incomprehensibly: "If this is all right, then after anyone murders and commits a crime, he just pretends to be a mentally ill person, wouldn't this society be in chaos? "

"Existence is reasonable."

Peggy said with a smile: "Not everyone is qualified to be a mentally ill person, only those who are rich and powerful can get this disease if they commit crimes.

This is but one of the privileges of the few who stand at the top of society.

Most ordinary people are unless they are very lucky or have excellent acting skills.

Otherwise, it would not impress the jury at all.

Want to fake a psycho?

Are you asking if they are compatible? "

Having said that, she glanced at Monica with a half-smile.

"..."

The corner of Monica's mouth twitched, and she, who had been with Peggy for a long time, immediately understood what Peggy meant.

This is the classic quote that Peggy used to scare her before: "Super geniuses are all mentally ill, and those of us who surround us are too!"

She secretly decided to see Joey when she went back, and remind him again to treat his relationship with Peggy's mother Linda with caution.

Because Esther, a fake Luo Li and a genius, murdered and set fire so recklessly, and it was so difficult to be convicted, let alone Peggy, a real Luo Li and a real genius.

Don't say that Peggy really wants to commit a crime, it's hard to be noticed.

Even if someone finds out, her age, appearance, and acting skills all have a high probability of being acquitted.

If Peggy like this turns black, it will be really scary!
"Then what should we do?"

Linda terrified.

"Don't worry, Chuck is here!"

Monica comforted: "It will definitely send Esther to prison."

"Don't forget, you are the rich and powerful one now."

Peggy gave her a sideways look, and looked down on Linda very much.

"I……"

Linda was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it.

In the past, she was subject to the explosion of her husband's desire to control. In fact, she didn't have a deep understanding of this identity.

But now that her husband is dead, his property belongs to her, and there is a life insurance fund of up to 1000 million. With a net worth of tens of millions, she is considered rich even in the United States.

And the United States is precisely the society where "the rich can do whatever they want"!

Chuck ignored their conversation, went downstairs immediately, and drove to the prosecutor's office.

Randy and the D.A. host Chuck and show him a video of the conversation newly filed by Harrison Powell as defense attorney.

The law stipulates that the submission of evidence needs to be publicized in advance, so as to leave enough time for the judge and both the prosecution and the defense to prepare for the reliability of the evidence and how to treat it.

"Look, Chuck."

Randy clicks on the video to show Chuck.

But I saw in the separate reception room in the prison.

Harrison Powell arranged for the forensic camera and started sitting across from Esther, chatting with her.

Esther, who was very manic and fierce before, was in the camera at the moment, but his eyes were timid like a frightened little animal. Under Harrison's guidance, he uttered a key message.

"I don't know what happened, I don't even know why I'm there... But I'm actually used to it, because this kind of thing happened in the past..."

"Dr. Wolf, you saw it too."

The prosecutor waited for Chuck to watch the evidence collection video, then shook his head and said, "Harrison clearly wants Esther to pretend to have a split personality.

One is innocent and the other is responsible for the crime.

And because she is innocent because she is often fragmented, she knows nothing about the other criminal personality.

This is actually nothing new!
But this time it is troublesome.

No way.

You see it too.

This Esther is simply a born actor!

If I hadn't trusted you and Randy, regardless of preconceived positions, I'd be a little skeptical.

And even me, let alone the jury members.

In court, maybe we can remind the jury and the judge again and again that she is not the real Luo Li, so don't use the perspective of Luo Li to look at her who committed such a vicious crime.

But the conscious judgment of ordinary people is not based on reason, but on emotion.

If she is like this, let alone plead guilty, even if she does not plead guilty, she may actually impress some jury members and be acquitted.

Before switching to Harrison, he would definitely choose to plead not guilty.

It is estimated that he gave up because this case involved you, Dr. Wolfe. "
