American TV series Detective's Daily Life

Chapter 291 Peggy: If you want to be a psychopath, are you worthy?

Princeton University.

student dormitory.

Little Sheldon and his party came here.

Although little Sheldon was staying at Beverly's house because he was too young, in order to win little Sheldon's help in raising sponsorship, the president of the university took the initiative to provide a place for little Sheldon to live during his lunch break.

Or a deluxe single room!

The conditions were revealed, making all the college students envious and jealous.

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

Because when other college students asked him to borrow their dormitories to 'study', he felt that he was 'teachable', so he readily agreed.

The result is one pair after another of study partners, mainly male and female, but of course not limited to that, borrowing Little Sheldon's dormitory.

It finally got to the point where little Sheldon arranged the schedule himself.

For little Sheldon who loves to make plans, this is double the joy.

In the end, someone revealed the truth, which made little Sheldon so disgusted that he personally cleaned it up over and over again.

Um.

This man with great vision is naturally Chuck.

"It's so lively."

As soon as little Leonard and little Howard came in, their eyes lit up as they watched energetic college students on scooters passing by in the hallway from time to time amid the dynamic music.

“It’s still a mixed-gender dormitory!”

When little Howard saw a girl in cool clothes walking by, his eyes immediately straightened: "I like it here!"

"Please! You're not Sheldon."

Beverly reminded, shaking her head.

"..."

Little Howard lowered his head.

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

"I don't like this kind of 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 when I was in high school, helping my dad lead the football team to win game after game.

Every time I enter the school, I am warmly welcomed by everyone.

Those girls were even more annoying. They just held me in their arms and rubbed me hard.

You also know that it will suffocate you..."

"I am willing to be suffocated to death!"

Little Howard's eyes turned red.

This was the first time he heard that Little Sheldon had such an experience, so much so that he couldn't even say his usual sarcastic words, and he immediately imagined the dynamic scene in his mind.

For the little SP, he was simply envious and jealous.

In the past, although he knew that his IQ was inferior to Little Sheldon, he actually looked down on Little Sheldon.

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

"Obviously you haven't had that bad experience, otherwise you wouldn't have said that."

Little Sheldon glanced at him as a matter of course.

Not to mention little Howard, even little Leonard had to endure it with all his strength to prevent his envy and jealousy from becoming too obvious.

Because he had a strong hunch 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 again...

"let's start."

Beverly reminded.

"good!"

Little Sheldon nodded: "My loudspeaker was taken away by them, so I'd better use the authority of the dormitory administrator 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 in Little Sheldon's dormitory for the explosion in the entire dormitory building after cutting off the power supply to the dormitory.

Not a moment.

The college students who were having fun on their own became restless and opened the door one by one and came over.

"It's him again?"

"Who else but him?"

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

A group of college students came over with angry shouts. One grumpy old man 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 lose power and internet again?"

Someone asked directly.

"It's me. This is my right as the dormitory manager."

Little Sheldon said: "The principal gave me the gift, and I have already shown you the terms."

"We didn't see it."

Naturally, no one would admit it.

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

This is not a pheasant university for cats and dogs. The students don’t take their diplomas seriously.

This is Princeton University!

If they offend the principal, the consequences will definitely not be something they can bear.

"Restore power to the network quickly!"

The grumpy old man who had pinned Little Sheldon to the wall before took a step forward and threatened in Little Sheldon's ear: "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, and saw them nodding to him, so he retorted, and then took out the newspaper from his arms.

"What is this? Another forged order from the principal..."

The students still wanted to pretend they didn't know, but when they glanced at it, they were surprised to find that it was not a newspaper. When they took a closer look, it was a newspaper.

"what is this?"

The grumpy old man who was in the lead looked at Little Sheldon speechlessly after being stunned. He was about to laugh at Little Sheldon with his classmates, but found that there was no one behind him.

"Hey! Where are the people?"

The grumpy old man was completely shocked.

"They're gone."

Little Sheldon and Beverly looked at each other, their eyes showing the pride of having gained something from their experiment.

They saw with their own eyes just now that when he took out the newspaper from his arms, the grumpy old man didn't recognize it, but someone among the students recognized the now famous Esther.

Anyone who can get into Princeton University is not a fool, but is quite smart. He immediately understood the purpose of Little Sheldon's actions.

Although I don’t believe that little Sheldon would really turn evil over such a thing.

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

So after whispering to each other, everyone quickly withdrew.

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

But soon, his cell phone rang. When he took it out, he realized what his classmates were worried about.

Then he couldn't help but look into the dormitory, and saw Beverly smiling and nodding next to Little Sheldon, who had a similar expression to Little Sheldon.

There were two other little boys beside him. The one with an extremely vulgar expression turned over his collar to reveal a photo with Esther.

After reacting, the grumpy old man couldn't help but shudder, then stepped back and left with a smile.

"It worked really well."

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 couldn't even stay that night!

And who sent her in? Even if you really want to go dark, you can't become the devil who rules the world! "

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

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

"Chuck, something is wrong. I received news that Esther chose Harrison Pwell as the defense lawyer."

"Then what?"

Chuck asked calmly.

"I know he lost to you before, but after all, he is the number one criminal lawyer on the East Coast."

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

"Nothing to worry about."

Chuck said bluntly.

"Dr. Wolfe."

The prosecutor's voice rang directly on the phone: "What I'm worried about is not the confession, the evidence is solid.

My concern is that Harrison is fighting this case as if a mentally ill person is incompetent.

I have just seen his newly submitted evidence.

Why don't you come over and take a look? "

"good."

Seeing that they were all so worried, Chuck stopped insisting, nodded in agreement, hung up the phone, and saw everyone looking over.

"Is it Esther's case?"

Linda and the others were not easy to talk to, but Monica didn't take this into account and asked directly.

"right."

Chuck said as he walked out: "You stay with them, I'll go over there."

"Any new developments?"

Monica followed Chuck to the door: "Are there any problems with this case?"

"The defense attorney wants to use Esther's mental illness as a reason to exonerate Esther."

Chuck paused and explained.

"How is this possible!"

When Monica heard this, she immediately frowned.

"Even if he is found not guilty of mental illness, he will not be released immediately, right?"

Linda immediately said excitedly: "Should we also be locked up in a mental hospital?"

"right."

Chuck nodded, and when Linda just breathed a sigh of relief, he reminded him bluntly: "But even being imprisoned is not that safe, there are various commutation measures, and you may be released early.

Not to mention a mental hospital.

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

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

There once was a mentally ill patient who had obvious serial perverted criminal tendencies. The psychiatrist clearly diagnosed that he would definitely commit a crime once he went out.

But for various reasons, he still went out.

Resulted in a series of violent crimes.

The innocent victims died horribly.

But after the criminal was caught, he was sentenced to mental illness, imprisoned again, and the process began to repeat.

If you have read DC Comics Batman, you should feel very familiar with it.

Gotham City is a city with simple folk customs and a land of outstanding people.

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

"how so?"

Beth Harmon frowned and looked at Chuck with complete incomprehension: "If this works, then if anyone pretends to be a psychopath after committing a murder and crime, wouldn't this society be in chaos? "

"Existence is reasonable."

Peggy smiled and said: "Not everyone is qualified to be a mental patient, only those who are rich and powerful and have committed crimes can get this disease.

This is just one of the privileges of a small group of people who stand at the top of society.

Ordinary people in the majority unless they are very lucky or have excellent acting skills.

Otherwise, it would not be able to impress the jury at all.

Want to pretend to be mentally ill?

You ask them if they are worthy? "

After saying this, she glanced at Monica with a half-smile.

"..."

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

This is again the classic quote that Peggy used to scare her: "Super geniuses are all mentally ill, and so are the rest of us!"

She secretly decided that when she went back and saw Joey, she would remind him again to be cautious about his relationship with Peggy's mother Linda.

Because Esther, the fake Lolita and fake genius, committed murder and arson so unscrupulously, it was so difficult to be convicted, let alone Peggy, the real Lolita and the real genius.

Not to mention that if Peggy really wanted to commit a crime, it would be difficult for others to notice.

Even if she is really found out, there is a high chance that she will be acquitted based on her age, appearance, and her IQ and acting skills.

If Peggy turns dark, that would be really scary!

"Then what should we do?"

Linda said fearfully.

"Don't worry, Chuck is here!"

Monica comforted: "Ester will definitely be sent to prison."

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

Peggy glanced sideways at her, looking down on Linda.

"I……"

Linda was stunned for a moment, then thoughtful.

In the past, she was controlled by her controlling husband, but she actually didn't have that deep understanding of this identity.

But now that her husband is dead, his property belongs to her, as well as the life insurance money of up to 10 million yuan. With a net worth of tens of millions, she is considered a wealthy person even in the United States.

And the United States is exactly that society where ‘if you have money, you can do whatever you want’!

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

Randy and the prosecutor received Chuck and showed him a newly submitted video of the conversation by Harrison Pwell as defense attorney.

The law stipulates that the submission of evidence needs to be announced in advance to give both the judge and the prosecution and defense enough time to prepare for the reliability of the evidence and how to treat it.

"Chuck, look."

Randy clicked on the video and played it for Chuck to watch.

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

Harrison Pwell arranged the forensic camera, sat across from Esther, and started chatting with her.

Aster, who was very manic and cruel before, is now in the camera, but his eyes are timid, like a frightened little animal. Under Harrison's guidance, he tells a key message.

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

"Dr. Wolfe, you saw it too."

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

One is her who is innocent, and the other is her who is responsible for the crime.

As an innocent person, she knew nothing about the other criminal personality because she was often disconnected.

This is actually not a new trick!

But this time it's troublesome.

There is no way.

You saw it too.

This Esther is simply a born actor!

If I hadn't believed you and Randy, and ruled out preconceived positions, I would have had some doubts as to whether this was really the case.

And that's not even true of me, let alone those on the jury.

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

But the conscious judgment of ordinary people is not based on rationality, but on sensibility.

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

Before it was Harrison, he would have definitely chosen to plead not guilty.

It's probably because this case involved you, Dr. Wolfe, that he gave up. "
