The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 296 Little Sheldon: Don't cue!

"allow!"

Judge Jackson agreed without thinking.

This kind of professional matter involving psychiatric identification should have been identified by a professional psychiatrist long ago.

Dr. Beverly Hofstadter from Princeton University is well-known throughout the United States, not to mention New Jersey.

Of course, there is definitely little Leonard in it.

Because what really broke Beverly's circle was the parenting monograph she wrote as a mother, and all the strange things in it were very social discussion attributes.

Everyone knows Dr. Beverly Hofstadter, the most rational professional!

And this isn't the first time Beverly has appeared in court as a psychiatrist.

Beverly, who was notified in advance and was waiting outside, walked in calmly and got on the witness stand.

"Dr. Hofstadter, do you approve of a second personality?"

Harrison Powell asked.

"of course."

Beverly nodded: "At a certain time, one of them is the original main personality, and the other is a derived subsidiary personality. The two personalities are independent and complete, and have their own personalities and memories.

Dual personality is actually a dissociative mental disorder.

Normal people only have dual and multiple ways of thinking, but mentally ill patients with dual or multiple personalities are unable to control the dual and multiple ways of thinking autonomously. "

"So the second personality is not controlled by the main personality, and can even deceive and use the main personality, isn't it?"

Harrison Powell looked proudly at Chuck who sat back in the auditorium.

"Yes."

Beverly nodded.

"So are you familiar with the concept of a super genius?"

Harrison Powell changed the subject.

"of course."

Beverly said in public the set of super genius IQ classification method introduced to Little Howard.

The audience and jury members, who were hearing the concept for the first time, whispered.

They also knew in the past that there was a difference between ordinary people and geniuses.

But never was such a distinction known to disparate to such a large extent.

The IQ of a super genius minus 60 is considered to be a smart person among ordinary people. Dividing the IQ of a super genius by two can reach the standard of ordinary people, which somewhat makes ordinary people like them a little uncomfortable.

"Then I had an inference before, that is, all super geniuses have mental illness. This has been agreed by the super genius Dr. Wolf. Dr. Hofstadter, what do you think?"

Harrison Powell asked.

"Well, that's a very interesting statement."

Beverly glanced at Chuck in the audience, and raised her glasses: "Whether this is the case or not, we still need to study.

But in theory, the spiritual thinking activities of super geniuses are beyond the scope of ordinary people's comprehension.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it looks like a mental illness, which is also normal.

But this is the same as the second personality or multiple personalities, what can be controlled independently is the normal mental thinking activities of super geniuses.

What is out of control is mental illness. "

"So among the super geniuses you know, are there any who can completely control themselves?"

Harrison Powell asked.

"As far as I know, no."

Beverly thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Most of them suffer from physical or psychological problems."

"Like Detective Chuck!"

Harrison Powell said: "He has serious physical and psychological problems, so he needs to take medicine to control it."

"Correct."

Beverly glanced at Chuck in the auditorium and nodded.

"Is there a possibility that there is another personality in a place that his main personality cannot detect, influencing and even controlling his body?"

Harrison Powell bared his fangs.

"be opposed to!"

The bald prosecutor can no longer sit back and watch.

Because at this moment, Harris Powell has returned to the rhythm of the former No. [-] criminal lawyer on the East Coast, and what he is best at is treating people and doing things wrong.

Destroy people first, and then things will happen naturally.

"It has nothing to do with this case."

"Dr. Wolfe is an important witness in this case, so his mental state is seriously related to this case!"

Harrison Powell retorted vigorously: "Even not only this case, but all cases that have been handled by him, we need to consider this point!"

"be opposed to!"

The bald prosecutor objected: "Dr. Wolf is a consultant to many heavyweight law enforcement departments such as the IRS, FBI, and NYPD. "

"I'm only talking about one possibility now."

Harrison Powell retorted: "The mental state of a mentally ill person fluctuates at any time, and no one knows when he is in what state."

"Dr. Hofstadter, please answer the defense counsel's questioning."

Judge Jackson spoke.

"It's a possibility."

Beverly nodded: "But the research on super geniuses is still in its infancy, so I can't explain it to you for sure."

"Isn't Sheldon Cooper, who lives in your house, a super genius?"

Harrison Powell said: "As far as I know, he is very cooperative with your scientific research. Didn't he give you a certain understanding of the psychology and mental state of super geniuses?

Does he have mental problems?

Like dual personality? "

"Sheldon is indeed a super genius."

Beverly said frankly: "He does have multiple personalities. As far as I know, he now has six personalities."

"Sixfold personality?"

After Harrison Powell was stunned for a moment, he laughed exuberantly: "Can you give us a popular science?"

"it is good."

Beverly did not refuse, and even enjoyed popularizing her own research results to others: "This is what Sheldon told me when he woke up from a dream. In his dream, in a sci-fi land, there was a Sheldon Director regular meeting of the association.

It was all Sheldon present.

However, their attire and personalities are completely different.

On the throne is a Sheldon wearing a T-shirt with the nine planets printed on it, holding a sign-in book in his hand, and calling names one by one.

The first person on the left is the scientist Sheldon, wearing a white coat, nodding in agreement very politely.

The first one on the right is Texas Cowboy Sheldon, wearing jeans and a cowboy hat. He stretched out his hand to lift the cowboy hat on his head, and opened his thighs. His tone, expression and words have a strong Texas cowboy atmosphere, which is completely different from the normal Shelton. pause.

The second person on the left is a fanatic Sheldon, wearing a Star Trek Spock uniform, with his right hand stretched out, the index finger and middle finger together, the ring finger and little finger together, which is the representative of Star Trek' endless life , a Vulcan gift of Prosperity'.

The second person on the right is the cleanliness Sheldon, wearing a full set of protective clothing, agreed, and asked Sheldon, who is the main body of the throne, not to spit while speaking, so as not to spray him.

The third person from the left is Funny Sheldon, with a classic clown red ball on his nose, and his language is funny, at least he thinks he is funny.

In the past, all kinds of cold jokes were said the most.

But since I met Chuck, the style of funny Sheldon has changed, and his madness has become more and more like the clown in DC comics. It must be said that Chuck is the big devil, not Batman or something like that. "

"Big Devil Chuck, interesting!"

Harrison Powell immediately grasped his point, and looked around the jurors: "My client Esther's second personality, Emma, ​​also said something similar.

It seems that this is some kind of consensus that belongs to their super geniuses that we cannot understand. "

"be opposed to."

The bald prosecutor objected: "The defense lawyer is playing tricks. He can't prove that the so-called evil personality Emma is a super genius, but he blindly uses this for comparison."

"No one knows what super geniuses, their mental state, and personality differentiation are all about. Even the most professional Dr. Beverly Hofstadter knows very little, doesn't he?"

Harrison Powell retorted: "So we can only look for commonalities between them as much as possible.

There is also the so-called IQ test, which is only a relatively subjective test. In fact, it is also looking for commonalities at all levels of IQ, isn't it? "

"The objection is invalid, and defense lawyers can continue to ask questions."

Judge Jackson said.

"Thank you, Your Honor."

Harrison Powell smiled triumphantly, glanced at the expressionless Chuck, walked to the witness stand, and said to Beverly who nodded slightly.

"Dr. Hofstadter, tell us about the time you took Sheldon Cooper to the Princeton University dormitory, and I took the newspaper with my client's headline on the front page."

"it is good."

Beverly answered truthfully.

The jury and audience were in an uproar.

They all knew that Esther's matter had a great impact, but they didn't expect such a development.

"Dr. Hofstadter, was this your idea, or someone else's?"

Harrison Powell asked.

"It was Chuck's idea."

Beverly said bluntly.

"So in the eyes of Dr. Chuck Wolf, my client has something in common with the super talented Sheldon."

Harrison Powell said loudly: "That's why he, who is a super genius, gave such an idea to Sheldon, a super genius, didn't he?"

"you can say it this way."

Beverly thought about it and nodded.

"So what's the effect?"

Harrison Powell asked.

"good results."

Beverly said frankly: "The college students who even tore up the principal's written instructions, not only did not continue to bully Sheldon this time, but they all compromised and avoided it."

"So from your professional point of view, what is the reason?"

Harrison Powell asked: "Is it because those college students know what my client has done, and fear the super-genius Sheldon is also the same, so they backed down uncharacteristically?"

"Yes."

Beverly nodded.

"Then at the suggestion of the super-genius Dr. Chuck Wolf, the super-genius Sheldon Cooper imitated my client to intimidate those senior classmates who bullied him."

Harrison Powell said loudly: "In the end, everyone recognized this connection, because they were afraid that Sheldon Cooper would also differentiate into an evil second personality, right?"

"Not a second personality."

Beverly corrected: "Maybe it's the seventh personality. Of course, the funny Sheldon of the sixth personality also has a high probability of becoming crazy and becoming such an evil personality."

"Well, my fault."

Harrison Powell slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "It's the sixth or seventh personality, but in your eyes, what does his No.1 personality, which is the master personality, look like? Is he a kind little boy?" boy?"

"Yes."

Beverly nodded affirmatively.

Anyone who has ever been with Sheldon would be hesitant to ask this question.

But she, who can be called the female version of Sheldon, likes Sheldon the most, so she answered firmly.

"I'm done asking."

Harrison Powell gestured to the judge and the jury, ended the questioning calmly, looked proudly at Chuck in the audience, and walked back to his seat.

The changes in the expressions of the members of the jury are also worthy of his pride.

Because he didn't dare to let the evil Emma out, he was speechless by Chuck, so that the jury couldn't believe that the weak-looking Esther was innocent, and began to break the ice.

And as long as one juror is willing to believe, then he wins.

"Attorney for the prosecution, it's your turn to ask questions."

Judge Jackson reminded.

"Yes, Your Honor."

The balding prosecutor took a quick look at the text message Chuck had sent him, then put away his phone and stood up.

"Dr. Hofstadter, this so-called executive meeting of the Sheldon Council, you said it was in Sheldon Cooper's dream?"

The bald prosecutor stepped forward and asked.

"Correct."

Beverly nodded.

"Then why do you associate this with personality differentiation?"

"Couldn't it just be a little boy's dream?" asked the bald prosecutor.

"For ordinary boys, of course it's just a dream."

Beverly explained: "But for a super genius like Sheldon, it's not that these are new personalities with distinct characteristics that he differentiated from his life experience.

The imagination that his IQ can have is enough to differentiate all these imaginary personalities.

For a mind capable of studying the Big Bang, this is actually quite simple. "

"And he told you."

The bald prosecutor took a few steps and said with a smile: "When most people wake up from a dream, they will soon forget the things in the dream, at least not remember so many details, but from what he told you, he Remember everything, don't you?"

"Yes."

Beverly nodded: "For ordinary people, after waking up from dreams, they often forget the general idea and blur the details.

But Sheldon is no ordinary man.

He is a super genius with a high-definition graphic memory, and he can remember everything since he was about two years old.

Including what happened in the dream.

As long as he is willing to recall, he can clearly remember what happened. "

"High-definition image memory? Sounds amazing."

The bald prosecutor smiled: "So as far as you know, is this an ability that belongs exclusively to Sheldon Cooper?"

"Not really."

Beverly glanced at Chuck in the audience, shook her head and said, "As far as I know, super geniuses have superhuman memory.

Whether it is called high-definition image memory, or photographic memory, or other names such as memory palace, hyperamnesia, etc.”

"It seems that we have found another commonality of super geniuses."

The bald prosecutor said with a smile: "That is, they can remember everything that happened, even if it was a dream within a dream.

So these super geniuses with super memory, as long as they want to, there is no such thing as amnesia, is there? "

"As far as I know, yes."

Beverly nodded.

"That's interesting."

The bald prosecutor laughed: "According to this statement, if Esther is a super genius like Dr. Wolf and Sheldon Cooper, then she must also have super memory and understanding.

As long as she wants, she won't forget anything!

Of course, defense lawyers may say that this is not an absolute commonality.

But it's okay.

We're just looking for more commonalities to prove that the so-called evil personality Emma is a super genius, as you asked, aren't we? "

Harrison Powell, who stood up for the first time and prepared to object, darkened.

It never occurred to him that super geniuses have super memory.

no way.

IQ limits his imagination.

What high-definition image memory, photographic memory, memory palace, hyperamnesia, these awesome abilities, if they appear in the legal industry that needs to memorize countless legal provisions and precedents, they are definitely subversive superpowers.

Also!

Anyone who has this kind of ability, if they can choose freely, will engage in high-level science. Who would value a lawyer who serves the rich face-to-face?
