What is written?

It is written: How does rational thinking destroy the human soul?

Or: Victory for no reason, but still generate great power?

As we all know, we spend a lot of time planning the world.

We invented clocks and calendars, and we tried our best to predict the weather, everything we thought we could predict.

But what part of our lives is really under our control?

What if we chose to live in a completely self-created reality? Would that drive us crazy?

If so, wouldn't that be better than a life of despair?

……

Early in the morning, a family of three sat in the morning light and enjoyed their breakfast.

His father's name was John Peng, a professor of philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh, and a standard Chinese student.

Her mother's name is Laura Yu, who is also Chinese, and she works as the head of human resources in a company in Pigsburgh.

They have a son who is only 4 and a half years old, and he really resembles the two of them, beautiful.

Like all ordinary families in the Star Banner Country, they have their own troubles, but life is more about sweetness and happiness.

Except for Laura's diabetes, and her company's nasty colleagues.

Just yesterday morning, Laura had a big fight with the woman.

Just as they enjoyed this warm morning, they talked from time to time, as if they had lived in previous years.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

John walked to the door and opened it.

A group of police officers burst into their house.

"We are from the Pittsburgh Police Department, and this is the arrest warrant for Laura Yu. A policeman, who looked very similar to the Asian superstar Zhang Guorong, pushed John Peng into the room.

His brutality and roughness made John feel very uncomfortable, but John remained calm and asked, "What do you want to do, this is my house." ”

"I know, we have search warrants. Pittsburgh version Zhang Guorong continued coldly.

At this point, the other policemen who followed closely rushed directly at Laura.

Their rough actions made this kind, ordinary woman so frightened that she could only tie her hands and put her hands in handcuffs.

When John saw this, he was utterly furious. He looked at the Pittsburgh version of Zhang Guorong in front of him, and asked loudly: "What do you want to do? That's my wife, she hasn't broken any laws." ”

The Pittsburgh version of Zhang Guorong still maintained a cold expression, crossed his hands on his hips, and shouted: "If you touch me again, I will arrest you immediately." ”

At this time, the police who arrested Laura had already begun to announce her "crime" and rights.

"Laura Yu, you were charged with the murder of Elizabeth Gizas, and you were arrested. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court. ”

The cold and cold words seemed to have pronounced the death sentence of this gentle woman.

"What are you doing, why are you arresting my wife? John couldn't contain his anger anymore.

He has great trust in his wife, and since college, the two have been in love with each other ever since, and no one in this world knows this woman better than himself.

John would rather believe that he would kill than that Laura would be a murderer.

Unfortunately, the cops simply ignored John's plea.

He could only shout helplessly: "There are still children here, you guys, there are children here, don't you know?"

Alas, nothing could stop the actions of the police.

The son cried out to his mother, and John struggled desperately to break free from the police.

But all this, in front of these Star Flag Country police, is so pale and powerless.

Laura Yu was still ruthlessly taken away by the police.

……

A month later, in the temporary detention center of Pittsburgh.

John took his son, and after being inspected by prison guards, he finally entered this large cage that separated him from his wife in two worlds.

He and his son sat in the empty suspect visitation area, waiting for the child's mother to arrive.

After a while, a group of female suspects walked in.

Laura Yu was at the front, and she rushed to her son as soon as she could.

But the son is only willing to play with his own toys, and ignores his mother's hugs and care.

He was too young to know why his mother had been coming to see him for so long, so he treated Laura as if she were a stranger.

Laura has already been convicted of first-degree murder by the court of first instance and sentenced to twenty years in prison.

All the evidence was against her.

The deceased, Elizabeth Gizas, was the colleague with whom she had quarreled.

The place of death of the deceased was in the parking lot near the company.

The murder weapon that caused the death of the deceased, a fire extinguisher in a parking lot, had Laura's fingerprints on it.

The clothes that Laura wore to work that day were stained with the blood of the deceased.

As for Laura herself, she only remembers that when she walked into the parking lot that day, she did see a sneaky person walking out of the parking lot.

When the two of them staggered, Laura's backpack strap also pulled off one of the buttons of the person's clothes.

Unfortunately, the police did not find any buckles at the scene at all.

The surveillance of the parking lot is also in disrepair, and no useful footage has been recorded.

That's the reality they're going to face, and they can't come up with any evidence in Laura's favor.

"You say, my son won't kiss me again in the future. Towards the end of the visit, Laura asked as she looked sadly at John.

The attitude of her son who treated her like a stranger just now made Laura feel extremely desperate.

The look of despair on his wife's face made John's heart almost break.

He looked at her seriously, used all his strength, and whispered a promise: "I promise, everything will be fine." I promise. ”

……

Faculty of Law, University of Pittsburgh, in the office of Professor Vidic.

John Penn flipped through the case files of the first trial, looked at his old friend and wife's lawyer this time, Vidic, and asked, "If we can find the woman Laura met in the parking lot, will things get better?"

"The appeal of the second instance has been dismissed, and the judge has decided that if we do not have new evidence to turn in, then we cannot file a second appeal. Vidic looked at his old friend helplessly and explained as gently as he could.

"But judging from the scene, it was obviously a robbery and murder. My wife had no motive at all to rob the deceased of money. John retorted loudly.

"If the deceased's lost credit card is used by someone, we can still fight for it. But now, I'm so sorry, John. This case, that's all there is to it. Vidic replied apologetically.

"So, no, the only chance we have to appeal is the Supreme Court. Still unrelenting, John continued to ask.

"In the last three decades, the Supreme Court has never heard a single murder case. So, there isn't a decent lawyer who will help you appeal to the Supreme Court. Because this is a lawsuit that must be lost. Vidic was already a little impatient, and he tried to dissuade John's "death throes".

"Then find a decent lawyer, as long as I pay for it, someone will always appeal for me. John replied immediately.

"I can help you appeal. Vidic leaned over, stared into John's eyes, and asked word by word, "But can you do me a favor?"

John nodded and said, "What's the help?"

Vidic asked very seriously, "Can you forget that Laura is your wife?" Then look at the confessions and evidence provided by the police station again. ”

John's eyebrows furrowed, "I've seen it countless times." ”

Vidic explained: "I'm not asking you to judge Laura's guilt or innocence, but to let you analyze all the testimony and clues in this case without any emotion.

Laura was seen arguing with the deceased, Laura was seen entering the parking lot and driving away, her clothes were stained with the deceased's blood, and her fingerprints were still on the damned murder weapon. ”

Enraged, John lowered his voice and looked at Vidic and asked, "Just after she drove out of the parking lot, Laura and I, along with our friends, had a meal together in the restaurant.

We talked and laughed, and no one saw that Laura was the slightest bit unusual.

You think Laura is a pervert, she kills people, and instead of running away, she happily eats with us. Are you trying to say that all of this is reasonable?"

"I don't think it's important that someone sees them arguing!" Vidic retorted loudly.

John's voice also mentioned the highest, echoing through the large office.

"Tell me, who hasn't had a fight with their co-workers?" he shouted.

Vidic also replied angrily: "But this time someone died!"

John stared at Vidic before he said, "You never believed Laura was innocent, did you?"

Vidic said angrily, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

John asked, "What do you mean......

Vidic broke out, he stood up, looked at John, and shouted, "I mean, whether we believe Laura is innocent or not, there's no way the judge will acquit her!!"

After saying this, he regretted it a little, but still insisted: "You can't imagine how much I hate myself for saying such things." But I hope you will be sober and recognize the actual ...... now."

John looked at this former old friend with red eyes, and said very firmly: "I don't need you to help me appeal, I will find another lawyer." ”

With that, he got up from his seat, turned and walked out the door.

"John, don't do this, John......" Vidic said helplessly.

But John ignored him completely and walked out of the office persistently.

"John, for God's sake, you can't ......" Before Vidic could finish his sentence, John had already slammed the door and left.

Only Vidic, whose face was full of helplessness, sat down in his chair tiredly.

……

The last appeal failed, and John completely lost the opportunity to legally redeem his lover.

When he went to visit Laura, the two of them could only cry silently, and without saying a word, the visit ended.

The next night, he was called from the Pittsburgh Detention Center, and Laura had attempted suicide in prison.

He was taken to Pittsburgh Hospital.

John rushed to the hospital like crazy, begging Laura's attending physician for 2 minutes to see her.

In the dimly lit ward, the lover he had promised to protect with his life.

Now like a walking corpse, lying in a hospital bed.

Watching him come in, Laura didn't react, just tilted her head to the side and wept silently.

Watching the woman he loves become what she is now, thinking that his son will lose his mother, thinking about his family that has become broken.

In John's heart, something crazy was growing.

If the world, the so-called law, cannot give him justice, but will destroy his happy life and warm family.

Then as a husband who trusts and loves his woman with all his heart, he must act and give the world a real response.
