On May 10, a week had passed since Reims was "arrested".

This week, not only did he not eat at all in prison, but he was able to sleep in a single room, greet him with good wine and food every day, read books and listen to music, this day ...... It's not so much a prison sentence as a vacation.

If this had happened in a place like the Nine Prisons, perhaps no one would have felt anything wrong, but in a prison in The Hague, where ordinary prisoners are held, there is a person who has not yet been "convicted" who enjoys this privileged detention, which will cause concern.

Even if the prison guards received an order not to talk about it publicly, the inmates did not accept it; Any tabloid reporter who is willing to pay a small amount of "intelligence money" can get this kind of information from the mouths of prisoners, and the prison authorities have no legitimate reason to prevent these people from visiting.

In short, it didn't take long for Lance's name to appear in the newspapers, along with "Resistance members enjoying VIP treatment in prison?" Such inducing headlines have also appeared on the Internet.

Of course, at this point in time, the relevant news reports have not yet set off much of a storm, after all, this is just a trivial matter, and it is not a "global live broadcast".

The prison side is also heavily guarded during this week, preventing Lance from receiving any outside information; No one but Raymond had any contact with Lance alone, and even the man in charge of delivering his food had to be accompanied by at least two prison guards to bring his food to his cell.

In this way, on the afternoon of the 10th, the first "open trial" of Reims began.

In line with the principle of doing a full set of acts, FCPS dispatched a large number of "official group performances" to play the "media" and "general public" who were watching on this day, and the cameras on the scene also deliberately avoided the jury as if it were real (because the trial usually cannot be completed in one day, any trial broadcast to the outside world must not reveal the appearance of the jury), and the film crew they invited are also real professionals......

However, it was such a performance that was already very detail-oriented, and it had just started and had already been recognized by Reims.

"Ray, this scene ...... You know the same, right? ”

This sentence is Lance's response after Raymond read out the indictment and Lance's rights.

Raymond's expression changed slightly, and he immediately exchanged glances with Judge Roberts.

Two seconds later, Lei pretended not to hear, and said, "Defendant, please answer my question, do you want to give up the lawyer assigned to you by the court and choose to ......defend yourself?"

"If you're not really live, you can't tell the truth?" Lance interrupted him, because he didn't want to hear such words that both sides knew were nonsense.

So, Raymond put down the papers in his hand, sighed slightly, and looked at Roberts again, as if to say, "You should come." ”

Roberts thought for a moment, nudged the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at Lance, and said solemnly: "Defendant, we have conducted a global live broadcast of the trial according to your request, if you still don't believe it......"

"You're going to take out a couple of portable TVs or cell phones that you have prepared in advance to prove it to me?" Lance said the second half of what the other party wanted to say directly, "I think it's better to be free, I'm too lazy to debunk this level of trick." ”

At this point, Roberts was so badly answered, and he looked quite angry; And Raymond on the side is also difficult to answer, because in this situation, the only way to get the conversation going is to admit that they have lied, but "admitting" this matter is equivalent to declaring that the entire operation today has failed...... Therefore, it is not his turn to do this move, and if he really wants to admit it, he must be the judge with the highest authority here.

"Don't hold on any longer, he's not lying to you." At this moment, Carmen, who was sitting in the first row of the hearing bench, suddenly spoke, breaking the deadlock on the scene, "If you continue to rip it off, his words will gradually become difficult to sound......

Her two sentences were addressed to Roberts and Raymond, and it was tantamount to admitting that the live broadcast of today's trial was false.

At this point, there was no need for Roberts to continue acting, he simply put on a stinky face and said to Lance in an indifferent tone: "Mr. Lance, don't think that you are very smart, your actions are also exposing yourself." ”

"Oh? What am I exposing to? Tell me about it. Lance asked with a smile.

"Isn't that clear? You can say with such certainty that this is a fake live broadcast, nothing more than proof...... At this moment, you are receiving a message from an accomplice from the outside world. Roberts replied.

"Really? Couldn't that be the conclusion I came to based on my own observations and reasoning? Lance asked again.

"Hmph......" Roberts snorted coldly, not commenting on it.

"I see...... I got a rough idea. Lance chuckled and nodded, and said in a mocking tone, "Most narrow-minded bureaucrats like you can't come up with such an idea as fake live broadcasts, so ...... Who could it be? At this point, he turned his head slowly, as if to scan the hearing table behind him.

However, Lance's face had barely turned forty degrees before a finger poked at his cheek.

"What do you want to do?" Carmen, who was still sitting just now, came to Lance's back at some point, and at this moment she was holding out a finger against the left side of Lance's face, stopping the other party from turning back.

"What? Can't I even look at the auditorium? Lance asked.

"Nope." Carmen replied.

"Why not?" Lance asked again.

"Why do you say?" Carmen asked rhetorically.

"Because you think I'm going to find out the proposer of the 'fake live broadcast plan' from the hearing bench and discard it?" Lance didn't say this to himself, because he knew that Carmen had expected this to stop him from turning back.

"Isn't it?" Carmen Road.

"Yes, yes." Lance continued, "But your current response may not be right. He paused, then continued, "If you don't stop me from turning back, that person still has a chance to fool me with his acting skills and make me believe that 'the person who made the decision is not on the bench,' but now, you have told me that the person is 100% on the bench......" He shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "You are not afraid...... I'm going to kill everyone who sits there? ”

"If you kill me, kill me by the way, after all, I was sitting there just now." Carmen replied without fear.

"Huh......" Lance laughed again.

Carmen knew he wouldn't kill like that, because it didn't fit the logic of the game between them.

Suppose there are 100 people and one of them you want to kill, then you have to find that person, make sure that he/she is your target, and then kill him/her, so that it is called "winning this step".

Suppose there are 100 people and there is one of them that you want to kill, and then you kill all 100 people, and for them, it's called "anyone else".

"Okay~ If you don't look back, you won't look back." After a breath, Lance turned his head back and looked ahead, and just when everyone else thought he was going to give up, he suddenly changed his words and said, "Anyway, before I turn back, the judge's eyes have already betrayed the general direction of the man, and your finger is not on the right, but waiting on my left, which also proves this......"

Carmen's heart was half chilled when he said this, and she immediately understood—Lance had already made a note of what everyone in the hearing table looked like when he walked into the courtroom.

At this moment, Lance had determined a general area through the judge's line of sight, and then, he only had to make a second observation and reasoning in his mind of everyone sitting in that area, and he would soon be able to use the method of elimination to lock down the head of Rutte among those people.

Indeed...... You can also achieve the goal without looking back.

"In the ten minutes since I walked into the courtroom, if he hadn't changed seats...... "On the other side, Lance's narrative continued," ...... Then I need to find someone, it should be the middle-aged blonde man in a gray suit sitting in the third seat in the corner of the penultimate row. ”

"Everyone! Stay where you are, don't move! In the next second, Carmen suddenly raised her voice and shouted in a commanding tone.

"Hehehe...... Good luck. Lance knew what she was up to, so he playfully encouraged him.

As a result, before he could finish his sentence, Carmen knocked him unconscious with a knife.

"Deputy Minister Moleno, please explain your current behavior." Roberts couldn't understand the situation for a long time, he couldn't understand the conversation between the two men, and he couldn't keep up with the thinking of the two men, so he had to ask what was going on.

"Right now, right here in this courtroom, there's some kind of surveillance device, or someone, that's transmitting what's going on here." Carmen replied.

This is just the opposite of Roberts's inference just now, Roberts thinks that someone is telling Lance the outside information, so Lance will know that the trial has not really been live-streamed.

"How do you know?" A few seconds later, Roberts pressed back.

"He just reported the seat, gender, and characteristics of the head of the Rutte branch, right?" Carmen answered.

"That's right." Roberts said, "But he's showing off, isn't he?" ”

"Saying the right seat and gender is enough to prove that he guessed right, if it's for showmanship...... With his ability to observe and reason, coupled with his bad tastes, nine times out of ten he will talk about a certain lifestyle of someone else, or the type of mistress. "But instead of doing that, he deliberately described the most visual features of his clothes, age, and hair color in front of those of us who already knew the head of the Rutte branch, and added the prerequisite that 'if he hadn't changed his seat in the ten minutes since I walked into the courtroom,' as if he had been mistaken......

"He's got accomplices watching!" Raymond was still quick to react, and under Carmen's reminder, he quickly showed a look of sudden realization, and continued in a loud voice, "He said these words to some accomplice who was sitting in front of the monitor watching us!" That's why he describes those things! ”

As soon as these words came out, the "group performers" in the audience became nervous; In addition to judges, prosecutors, stenographers, and bailiffs, who are already working in the courtroom, the remaining 90 percent are FCPS agents or federal police officers, and 10 percent are professional videographers who have a relationship with the government...... It can be said that from the hearing bench to the jury bench, all of them are people from the Federation, and it is quite terrifying to hear that people from the resistance group are looking at them by some means.

"Rutte (local FCPS) sub-chief, Powell (local police station) chief, judge, Mr. prosecutor, please come out and cooperate with me in the search under my instructions." Carmen ordered four people she thought she could trust to come out, and continued, "Others, please stay where you are and cooperate with our ......" After half a second, she added, "From this moment on, any change in your actions may be regarded by me as a dangerous move, and the consequences will ...... Conceited. ”
