The court was very quiet.

Many jurors were shocked by Shen Lie's speech just now, and in addition to the sufficient evidence Shen Lie presented, He Dino, who sat in the jury, could tell that several jurors looked at You Xin a little bit wrong .

You Xin opened his mouth and closed it again, Shen Lie could see that his brain was running rapidly to make up a suitable reason to deal with it, but Shen Lie didn't intend to give him this chance.

"Or if you can't think of the reason, I can say it for you," Shen Lie said sharply, "because you wantonly use the means prohibited by the law to carry out your so-called 'therapy', because you don't trust those who trust you. The children you seek help treat as people like you, because your so-called therapy is just another kind of torture to them, and because you are not a doctor to save people, but to extract value from them And to satisfy your own desires—"

"Objection!" Gary stood up and almost roared to overwhelm Shen Lie's voice, "Your Excellency, isn't it too much for the prosecutor to force witnesses like this?!"

"I withdraw," Shen Lie said, his voice suddenly became calm and gentle, "The next question, Dr. Kirk, can you state to the jury the source of funds for the charitable fund you established on the basis of your addiction rehabilitation center What is it?"

You Xin shrugged: "It's normal, it's the same source as other charitable funds."

Shen Lie turned to Judge Parker: "Your Excellency, can you please order the witness not to be vague, but to answer the prosecution's question positively?"

Because Shen Lie's request was in compliance with regulations, Judge Parker turned to You Xin and said, "Dr. Kirk, please answer the prosecution's question directly, otherwise this court will arrest you for contempt of court."

You Xin had no choice but to say: "The source of our charity fund depends on the income of the addiction rehabilitation center."

"Really?" Shen Lie turned around and picked up another piece of evidence from the table—a stack of documents, and he still distributed the copies and originals to the jury and Judge Parker according to the previous procedure, "The physical evidence, this It is the bank accounts of the defendant’s charitable fund and the addiction rehabilitation center. The prosecution found a professional legal accountant and concluded that the assets in the addiction rehabilitation center’s bank account are far less than the assets of the charitable foundation. Among them Where does the difference come from?"

"Well," You Xin said with a smile, "to thank me, many patients and their parents voluntarily donated large sums of money to help other poor children."

"You talked about voluntary," Shen Lie asked, "is it completely voluntary?"

"Of course, completely voluntary."

Before You Xin finished speaking, Shen Lie picked up another piece of paper: "I have a testimony here, which is the testimony of Gavin's mother Debbie and Visa's mother Jones. They both testified that Gavin and Visa When receiving treatment in your addiction rehabilitation center, in addition to expensive treatment fees, you must also pay various strange fees, such as repair fees, consulting fees, etc., and once they as parents do not pay these inexplicable fees, then Their children will receive various punishments more frequently for their poor performance—" He looked at You Xin after finishing speaking, "How do you explain this?"

You Xin smiled awkwardly: "I don't know how the prosecutor misunderstood the relationship between the two, but in fact, the two have nothing to do with each other. When my patients were treated in the addiction rehabilitation center Punishment, because they did something wrong, has nothing to do with anything else."

Shen Lie shrugged at the jury: "It's really a powerful defense."

After speaking, he immediately started the next question. He picked up a photo from the table, which showed a medicine bottle: "Doctor Kirk, can you recognize what this is?"

You Xin took a closer look: "I don't recognize it."

"That's very strange," Shen Lie said, "because this is a medicine bottle found at Visa's house, and it was prescribed from your addiction recovery center to treat mania."

"Well, I prescribe a lot of medicines a day," You Xin shrugged, "What's more, all the medicines look so similar, it's normal not to recognize them."

"You are too modest," Shen Lie said coldly, "The formula of your drug is unique - according to the trace inspection of the forensics department office, the composition of this drug makes it impossible for patients with mania to get better. There are also a lot of powerful psychotropic drugs in it, which can make people unconscious to a certain extent and make it easier for people to control them. How do you explain this?"

You Xin pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Maybe I'm not very good at pharmacology, but—"

"Stop lying," Shen Lie said sharply. He turned around and picked up the remote control and turned on the projector. Although the picture on it was not clear, it could be seen that it was You Xin and Casey. Video footage from the interrogation of witnesses."

The shikigami of the jury and Judge Parker moved to the screen, and even You Xin heard the sound and looked over.

"Do you know what psychotherapy is?"

"Tell me about it, doctor."

"For example, when you're seriously ill, what's the last thing you want?"

"I'm going to die soon?"

"When you know that you are going to die soon, and there is no cure, and I tell you that there is a medicine that can save you, how do you react?"

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"This medicine is like the panacea I just mentioned. I admit that it can't cure the physical, but it can heal the psychological. It can give my patients and their parents confidence. Isn't that good?"

Shen Lie pressed pause, and pointed at the big screen with the remote control: "You know that this medicine can't cure the disease at all, and you don't just have a simple pathology as you said, you just didn't want to cure it from the beginning. Instead of controlling them, squeezing them, torturing them, I wonder what you were thinking when those kids were crying and begging you to stop—"

Gary didn't know how many times he stood up again: "Against—"

"There are no other questions." Shen Lie gave You Xin a final cold look, turned and returned to his seat.

Gary and You Xin's expressions looked like they had been slapped twice.

Gary suddenly said, "Your Excellency, the defense requests to ask another question."

Judge Parker nodded.

Gary also changed the previous roundabout way of asking, and was very direct: "As for the first charge charged by the prosecution, illegal detention, I would like to ask Visa, Gavin, and other patients whether they were voluntary—or through the consent of their guardians. Just entered your addiction treatment center for treatment?"

You Xin has not recovered yet, his face is still ugly: "Yes."

"About the third charge charged by the prosecution, the crime of intentional injury, did you intentionally injure them or is the so-called injury by the prosecution just a kind of extreme treatment?"

"Of course it's just a treatment," You Xin said, "Why should I intentionally hurt my patients?"

"I think so," Gary said, looking around the jury. "Why should he?"

After speaking, he returned to his seat, and the questioning again ended.

After Yusin's testimony was over, it was noon again, and Judge Parker asked, "Are there any other witnesses called by the prosecution and the defense?"

Shen Lie stood up and said, "The prosecution is gone, Your Excellency."

Gary also stood up: "The defense is gone."

"Very good," Judge Parker struck the small hammer. "Now we have a lunch break. The court will start at two o'clock. Both the prosecution and the defense will make closing statements. The bailiff will escort the jury out first."

Shen Lie turned around, but saw Ning Yuan sitting on the judging stand tilting his head and smiling at him.

Shen Lie couldn't help but hooked the corners of his lips: "Why are you still here?"

Ning Yuan stood up: "What you said, I have to come to the last decisive battle." His smile did not fade at all, "I can only say that it was wonderful, your attack in court, I feel like we have a chance to win if You Xin is defeated."

Shen Lie stroked his hair: "Not necessarily. In the end Gary's dying struggle still played a role. The questions he asked were all on point. We don't know what the jury thinks."

Ning Yuan rubbed his hand: "I believe in you, let's go to eat."

I have to eat even when the sky is falling, and my man is so good this time, I must add a big chicken drumstick!

At noon, it was said to be for lunch, but in fact, he ordered takeaway, and Kasidino also squeezed into Shen Lie's office. After all, the procuratorate is much closer to the court than the police station.

"I've been thinking about a question," Casey asked, swallowing the sandwich in his mouth, "Why did You Xin do this? I mean, look at what he did, I can still cheat my parents out of money." I understand, it’s just to make money, but prescribing fake medicines and electric shocks, what is he doing? Can he get any benefits?”

Ning Yuan has bulging cheeks, Shen Lie discovered his habit a long time ago, he likes to stuff a lot into his mouth and then chew slowly, like a hamster, cute is cute, but Shen Lie is always afraid that he will choke.He raised his hand to signal that he wanted to speak, and then he swallowed it after 5 minutes, and took a sip of the Coke Shen Lie handed him: "I suspect he has narcissistic personality disorder."

All three pairs of eyes looked at him instantly.

Ning Yuan was helpless: "Haven't you heard of it?"

Dino shrugged: "I don't think what we thought and what you said meant the same thing."

Ning Yuan: "..."

Also.

Ning Yuan took another sip of Coke: "The basic characteristics of narcissistic personality disorder are an exaggerated sense of self-worth and a lack of fairness to others [Note]. Simply put, taking You Xin as an example, he feels that he is God, all he does is give to others, and he can decide whether a person lives happily or suffers, which is tantamount to giving him a growing level of vanity and narcissism, but..."

Ning Yuan suddenly hesitated to speak, and Casey wondered, "What's wrong?"

"But I don't think he fully fits the narcissistic personality disorder," Ning Yuan touched his chin. "Maybe I'm thinking too much, or maybe he's covering it up too well."

"Don't think too much," Shen Lie patted his hand, "Hurry up and eat, the closing statement will be made later."

Ning Yuan nodded, and stuffed three more French fries into his mouth.
