Prologue First vote
Juror No. 1's narrative is over.
The "first document" he read was divided into two parts.
The first half, which is the official backup of the "Sunshine Youth Behavior Modification Center Tragedy", is based on the investigation report submitted by Lieutenant Mark Skram of EAS...... I just didn't find out anything.
The second half is the truth about the case from a third-person perspective. Of course, there is no mention of Kageori and Xian's small incidents, nor is there any description of the psychological activities of the parties; It is only in a style close to "reporting" that the course of events is stated.
Therefore, it did not take much time to read the report, and in less than ten minutes, Juror No. 1 put down the I-PEN in his hand.
Then, the people at this table fell silent again.
But this time, the silence didn't last long, as juror ten quickly broke it.
"Aren't you going to say something?" He turned his gaze to juror number five and asked suddenly.
This No. 5 juror is none other than Cha Wuchen.
"Are you talking to me?" Che Wuchen looked back at the past without changing his face and asked rhetorically.
"Isn't this nonsense?" "As a client, don't you have anything to add to this matter...... Car detective? ”
As soon as his last three words came out, several people immediately turned their heads to look at Che Wuchen; However, there were still several people who were unmoved, and others who sneered.
"You know me?" Che Wuchen answered the other party's question with a question.
"Hah! Of course I know you. Number Ten smiled, "I basically know all the people at this table in front of me, but you don't know me." ”
As soon as he said this, the crowd could turn their attention to him again.
This number ten is a very conspicuous person, because ...... He looks like a dwarf.
The reason why I say "looks like" is because there are also places that don't look like it.
Juror No. 10 resembles a boy who is less than ten years old, but with the head of a forty-year-old uncle around his neck; Although its face, demeanor, and voice are ...... He looked like a vicious and arrogant middle-aged white man, and his head was much larger than that of a child, but the skin on his face was still as immature as a child's, and even had some freckles, and his chin showed no signs of a beard, if you looked closely...... His Adam's apple has not yet developed.
"What? Don't you believe me? Facing the onlookers of the crowd, No. 10 was not timid at all, but became a little excited, "Hmph...... I can report the identities of a few people now. As he spoke, he pointed to Che Wuchen and said, "This No. 5 is the inspector mentioned in the document just now...... Senior Agent Che Wuchen, who is affiliated with the FCPS, and then he is on the left...... Oh no...... It's his right, and the left side from where I look over, and it's Mr. Juror No. 4...... Hehe...... He's famous, and his name can scare you into kneeling, he's ......"
Bang –
The words of the tenth were not finished.
Because a gunshot interrupted him.
The gun, which was fired by the four.
No one saw him draw his gun, no one saw him pull the trigger, and no one noticed any murderous aura.
By the time everyone reacted, the gun had already gone off.
Ten's head had also burst open like a broken watermelon; The back of the chair behind his head was also damaged, and a hole was blasted out, a large amount of blood, brains, and bone fragments...... They all passed through the hole and were glued to the wall behind Ten.
"You ...... guy" Two seconds later, Juror Seven ...... A man wearing a trench coat and a peaked cap indoors suddenly lifted the brim of his hat slightly, looked at Number Four and said, "Could it be ......?"
Bang –
Another shot, the same as the previous one, it was still number four, but this time, his bullet ...... hit the wall.
"I see...... "When Number Four fired, he didn't even look to Number Seven, but after the gunshot, he turned his face to the other side.
At this moment, if someone stands behind the fourth to observe, they will find ...... The muzzle of the gun in his hand, Juror Seven's head, and the bullet holes in the wall behind Seven, were in a straight line.
But for some reason, the bullet didn't hit Seven, who was sitting motionless, or the back of the chair behind his head, but it hit the wall behind him.
Jingle Bell Bell Bell –
Just when the situation at the scene seemed to be about to turn into a fight, the old-fashioned phone in front of Juror No. 1 rang again.
This turn of events halted further action by Four.
"Hello?" This time, No. 1 didn't hesitate and picked up the phone with a hand.
But after answering for two seconds, he took the earpiece away from his ear and handed it to his left: "Looking for you." ”
To his left is Juror No. 2.
No. 2 glanced at No. 1, didn't say anything, took the earpiece and said, "Hey? ”
He took a long time to answer.
"Hmm...... Okay, understood. For the next minute, Juror 2 listened with the receiver and answered a few short words like this.
A minute later, he hung up, looked left and right, and said, "'He' asked us to vote and think 'guilty'...... Putting the right hand on the table, thinking 'not guilty', putting the left hand, and other actions other than these two actions, are considered abstentions. ”
"You wait." Juror Seven spoke again, "You haven't said who the 'voted' suspect is." ”
"That's right." Number Two sighed and glanced at the phone on the table, "Because 'he' didn't say it." ”
"Judging from the documents just now, it must be for us to determine whether Che Wuchen is guilty or not." Juror 11 then answered.
"Not necessarily...... "Juror No. 6, who was the only woman at the table, said, "Don't forget, the call came after No. 4 was shot." ”
"But the guy on the other end of the phone said at the beginning that this so-called 'special trial' was for us to finally agree on 'the issue he provided,'......" Juror No. 1 picked up at this point, "and when 'he' delivered this message to me, No. 4 hadn't done the killing." ”
These people just analyzed it sentence by sentence, and everyone's tone sounded very rational and calm.
Obviously, there was a corpse next to him that smelled of blood and died in a horrible state, and it was clear that this person was killed in front of them, but none of them talked about it again; It's as if ...... Killing people is like someone lighting a cigarette and farting in the room...... Don't mention it.
"Alright, let's vote." After listening for a while, Number Two became a little impatient, he raised his voice, and said, "Anyway, there is no way to discuss the results, so there is no need to waste time." ”
His words make sense.
So, everyone was quiet again.
"I'll do it first." Seeing that everyone seemed to agree, No. 2 slapped his left hand on the table, "I stated in advance, I don't know what he asked us to vote for, but since he said that we can leave if we reach an agreement, then it is better for everyone to vote for 'not guilty' together, and then we can go our separate ways......"
"No kidding." Unexpectedly, in the next second, juror No. 1 rushed to say, "I don't want to give my opinion casually in this kind of dangerous voting." He paused for half a second, "I refuse to vote." ”
"I refuse too." Six quickly chimed in.
Others, a few of whom also made it clear that they did not want to vote, and some shook their heads or did not speak.
In fact, it doesn't matter if they don't take a stand, since the people who organized this trial demanded that "everyone agree" to end it, then as long as one person refuses to vote, or if there is any disagreement, the round of voting will be considered a failure.
"Okay." Before everyone could say anything, Number Two spoke again, "Then we can only continue to play with 'him'......"
As he spoke, he also took out an I-PEN from his pocket, the same as the One...... Enter a password that you just learned from the phone and unlock the screen.
"Oh...... That's right. A few seconds later, Two added, "He' just said that if the vote is unsuccessful and you need to continue reading the document, let me say hello to Number Four and tell him to stop killing people...... At this point, he turned his head to look at Number Four, "...... Because this second document is about Four. ”
No. 2 licked his lips and said to No. 4 again: "Brother, I didn't read this because I wanted to, if you have any opinions......"
"Alright." Number Four didn't listen to him, and then answered, "You can read it." As he spoke, he retracted the gun in his hand to the inside of his suit.
Seeing this, NUMBER 2 shrugged his shoulders and glanced at everyone again, then picked up I-PEN and began to narrate.
