The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 295 The chilly first lawyer: Psychiatrist Beverly is invited to testify in court!
"My question is over, and I would like to thank Dr. Wolf again for all his efforts to protect the safety of the people. I am honored to work with you."

The bald prosecutor noticed that as soon as Chuck's point came out, the jury members immediately thought about it and nodded slightly. They knew that this must have worked, so they ended their questioning with a smile, and looked at Harrison sympathetically. Purwell.

"Then it's the defense attorney's turn."

Harrison Powell got up, walked slowly out of the dock, and walked to the witness stand, carefully considering his words.

He was confident that he already had an idea, but facing Chuck's calm gaze, he always felt a little discouraged and needed more time to adjust his mind.

It's just that even he didn't know that the time had dragged on for so long that even Judge Jackson had to remind him.

"Defense lawyer, you can start!"

"Yes, Your Honor."

It was only then that Harrison Powell realized that his state was not right. Looking at Chuck on the witness stand, he kept giving himself hints.

"He is just a witness being interrogated now, not a man of God who can see through you at a glance."

"He is just a witness being interrogated now, not a man of God who can see through you at a glance."

"He is just a witness being interrogated now, not a man of God who can see through you at a glance."

After repeating it many times in a row, he avoided looking into Chuck's eyes and asked in Chuck's direction.

"Dr. Wolfe, you said that the explosion at Cross Villa was made by my client. What evidence do you have?"

"The police tracked down afterwards and determined that those materials were purchased in batches in the name of Patrick Cross."

Chuck said: "And in the workshop where the explosives were made, Esther's fingerprints were checked."

"That doesn't mean my client is the one who made these explosives, does it?"

Harrison Powell questioned: "It's entirely possible that Patrick Cross made it and gave it to Emma for her use.

We all know that Linda Cross and Beth Harmon testified to the police that they heard Emma say this with their own ears.

That is, Patrick has always wanted to kill Linda, and you stopped him last time.

That's why he went to the orphanage to adopt her and Beth Harmon, because he saw that there was an evil personality Emma in Esther's body, and he wanted to use Emma to kill Linda.

This can not only accomplish the purpose, but also make you have nothing to do with him, isn't it?

And compared to Emma making these explosives, the chess champion grandmaster Patrick Cross, known for his IQ, is more in line with the possibility in your mouth, right? "

"It is indeed possible."

Chuck said frankly: "But these explosives were indeed made by Esther, there is no doubt. Because she has a habit of 'telling' things in advance before doing bad things.

In her room, the police found a drawing of the complete process of making explosives on the wall with a special invisible crayon, and then tried to blow me up remotely.

It is she who does all this in the painting, and does not rely on other people's hands.

Follow this lead.

Traces of this color pen were also found in the orphanage where she lived and in the home of her first adoptive parents who brought her to the United States.

According to the meaning in her painting, as long as she kills me, she can become the great devil who rules the world.

Both Linda Cross and Beth Harmon, who were kidnapped by her at the time, can testify that she told her accomplice David Cross at the time.

The most important thing is that it is very important without me, so how to tell the police afterwards is all made up by her. "

"..."

Harrison Powell froze, and couldn't help looking back at his client, and saw that although her eyes were innocent, her arm was clearly exerting force. It was obvious that the hand that had scratched him so hard just now began to exert force again.

The other audience and jury members looked at the little figure in the dock with strange expressions.

Before doing something utterly unconscionable, he actually 'speaks out' ahead of time... This is simply too American.

I really don't know whether to say that Esther is a natural fit for the United States, or that Esther is really too childish.

"I've seen that painting too, but I didn't find that it said that it was making explosives by myself."

Harrison Powell argued.

"It's very simple, either you know that Esther did all of this, and you have decided to use mental illness as an excuse to defend yourself, so you don't care about the evidence."

Chuck said calmly: "It's either because you don't know anything about explosives, you haven't learned chemistry well, and you lack basic common sense."

"It's either stupid or bad."

Randy in the audience thought of what Chuck had said before, and couldn't help but blurt out.

At this moment, because of Chuck's built-in mute effect, everyone else looked at Chuck and listened to every word Chuck said, so the other voices in the court became more obvious.

In addition, Randy, who was naturally dumbfounded, didn't expect to keep his voice so low that everyone in the audience heard this sentence.

Just when everyone looked at each other and felt that this sentence was so concise but so vividly described what Chuck said at the moment, and tried not to laugh, Chuck nodded straightforwardly: "Simply speaking, it can be said this way."

The court didn't know who laughed first, and then there was a roar of laughter.

"..."

Although Harrison Powell wasn't the only one not smiling, he was standing there with a livid face and trembling body.

This is the fundamental reason why he secretly scolded himself for being curious about the development of the trial in an unknown direction after Chuck intervened.

Because the unknown can be wonderful, or it can be wonderful.

Not surprisingly, as soon as he met Chuck, something happened.

He, who should have been brilliant, is indeed a bit of a wonderful person, but he is the villain who has been made a face by being wonderful.

"quiet!"

Judge Jackson was professional. He reminded everyone at the first time, and then looked sympathetically at Harrison Powell, who was trembling and cold: "Defense lawyer, do you want to continue questioning witnesses?"

"want!"

Harrison Powell trembled for a while, and glanced at Esther on the dock. His fingers were in a position that no one could notice. He gritted his teeth and twisted his thigh severely. The severe pain caused him to rekindle Get up the fighting spirit.

"This painting may really be drawn by Emma, ​​but doesn't it further prove that she has a mental illness, otherwise how could she have such a weird idea?"

Harrison Powell said with a wooden face: "Blowing you up, she can become the big devil who rules the world?"

"This only proves that she is evil, not what kind of second personality this is."

Chuck corrected.

"Then what evidence do you have to prove that the kind Esther in front of us doesn't exist?"

Harrison Powell demanded.

"I'm talking about logical issues that are evidence."

Chuck looked at him: "Otherwise what are we doing now?"

There was another titter in the courtroom.

"...But you also said that it is indeed possible for Emma to do this with that little time, didn't you?

That doesn't prove there's anything logical about it, or that my client Esther is necessarily lying! "

Harrison Powell countered.

"No! I'm saying that unless you're a super genius, you can't do it in the short time of that fragment."

Chuck corrected.

"Yes, I remember!"

Harrison Powell suddenly smiled with a stiff face, and looked around the jurors: "Dr. Wolf, how are you sure that Emma is not that super genius?"

"this is very simple."

Chuck said calmly: "As long as you let her come out, you can find out by testing your IQ."

"It's really simple."

Harrison Powell nodded first, then shook his head: "But I can't do it, because Esther at this moment is really just a 9-year-old girl, let me force her by giving her threatening behavior." Forcing the other her to come out is too cruel, and no normal person with a conscience can do it."

"You do not dare."

Chuck said bluntly: "You know she can't pass the IQ test, so such a simple proof can prove the possibility you mentioned to the jury members, but you still dare not.

You are now determined to hold on to the Emma you are talking about, and there are infinite possibilities to try to bet on the jury that emotion is better than reason. "

"I didn't mean it that way."

Harrison Powell denied it: "My client, it is not I who needs to prove it, it is the prosecution!
I'm just saying that there is such a possibility that such a kind personality Esther will spend her life in prison for something she doesn't know. I trust the jurors and judges to judge freely. "

Speaking of this, he noticed that the jury didn't like him at all.

Because after Chuck pointed out this basic logic loophole, if he wanted to continue relying on Esther's talent to legalize Luo Li's face and excellent acting skills, obviously the jury still had basic rational judgments.

Those who don't talk about science and are extremely anti-intellectual will never appear on the jury, not to mention.

Because when being selected as a jury, it needs to be double-screened by the prosecution lawyer and the defense lawyer. Those who can sit here are ordinary people who are not so extreme and have basic reason.

And even if that kind of person really appeared, he wouldn't stand by Esther's side.

Because all that Esther has done represents outsiders, not only did not show gratitude, but seriously harmed kind-hearted American families.

This is absolutely intolerable for those who can be extremely anti-intellectual based on emotions alone.

"Dr. Wolf, can you do it?"

Harrison Powell glanced at Esther, and he knew the answer from her eyes. Even if the cruel 'Emma' was willing to come out, he would never pass the IQ test of a super genius, so he changed the topic change.

"I mean, learn the theory of explosion and make a good enough bomb in a very short time?"

At such times, the bald prosecutor would usually stand up and shout objection, because it had nothing to do with the case.

But he didn't do anything, just watched Harrison Powell continue to challenge his limits happily.

"of course can."

Chuck nodded.

"Because you're a super genius?"

Harrison Powell shrugged.

"You're the same again."

Chuck looked at him.

Although Chuck didn't say it, everyone understood the meaning of this sentence at this moment. In Chuck's view, Harrison was either stupid or bad for asking this sentence.

Because Chuck is a super genius, this is basic common sense that anyone who knows a little about Chuck knows.

No one can deny it!

"You just have to answer yes or no!"

Harrison Powell put on a black face and used the rights belonging to the defense lawyer.

"Yes."

Chuck shot him a look.

"Do you know any other super-genius who can do it all?"

Harrison Powell cursed in his heart that he should have not given Chuck more opportunities to speak, and asked.

"Yes."

Chuck was succinct.

"for example."

Harrison Powell asked.

"Peggy Swanson, Sheldon Cooper, Spencer Reed, Sherlock Holmes..."

Chuck started calling names.

"So much."

Harrison Powell said with a smile: "I didn't even know there were so many super geniuses in my time..."

Speaking of this, he was choked by Chuck's eyes of "you are not an insider, of course you don't know", and he twisted his thigh again, so that he could recover and continue the problem .

"I don't know about the others, but Peggy Swanson and Sheldon Cooper, I know."

Harrison Powell looked around the crowd: "So since you put these people next to them, I can understand that they all suffer from Asperger's syndrome, which is commonly known as genius loneliness, just like you. disease, isn't it?"

"Yes."

Chuck nodded.

"This genius syndrome is a mental illness, isn't it?"

Harrison Powell was suddenly in a much higher mood.

"Yes."

Chuck doesn't deny it.

"Then, can I understand that those who can learn the theory and produce high-quality explosives in a very short time are all super geniuses."

Harrison Powell said this, looked at the jurors with a dragging voice, and said word by word: "And super geniuses are all mentally ill!"

"In our world, that's how it is."

Chuck nodded frankly.

In the comprehensive world of American dramas, this is an unbreakable truth.

As the saying goes in American dramas: "It's a gift, but it's also a curse!"

"Is Patrick Cross a genius?"

Harrison Powell asked: "You just have to answer, yes or no!"

"Yes."

Chuck nodded.

Although he doesn't like the opponent, but that's from his point of view. For ordinary people, the chess champion grandmaster is an undisputed genius.

"Then he can use the method that the genius Patrick Cross is going to use to murder his wife, and quietly murder him, isn't such a person a super genius?"

Harrison Powell looked at the jurors: "And if she is a super genius, then according to the super genius Dr. Wolfe, then Emma must have mental illness, so she was born with an evil second personality, It is normal to protect the kind master Geeste."

Speaking of this, he didn't give Chuck a chance to speak, and said directly to Judge Jackson: "Your Honor, I want to apply for a psychiatrist to testify in court.

Her name is Dr. Beverly Hofstadter, a neurologist, psychiatrist, and parenting expert at Princeton University.

And she also lives in Dr. Wolfe's super-genius Sheldon Cooper. I don't think anyone understands the relationship between super-genius and mental illness better than her. "
