295. Hearings

"So, what kind of ability is he?" Yan Xiuze was itched by Clyde's deliberate pause, and hurriedly asked, "Don't sell it!" ”

"Foresight of the future." Clyde leaned over mysteriously and whispered, "That young man named Thomas, his superpower is to see the future!" ”

"Foresight of the future? How can there be such an exaggerated superpower? Yan Xiuze's face suddenly showed a look of disbelief.

"That's right, that's the exaggeration." Clyde coughed lightly and said, "According to Thomas's personal account, the reason why he took the initiative to bump into the middle-aged man who was blocking the road at that time was because he 'saw' what was about to happen after he parked. ”

"That middle-aged man seems to have had to stop the road to ask for help because of a burst tire, but he is actually a robber who kills people without blinking!"

"If Thomas had stopped, the middle-aged man would have immediately raised the pistol he was hiding in his right hand, killed Thomas with one shot, and drove off in his sports car!"

"You don't really believe this Thomas, do you?" Yan Xiuze frowned and said, "There are too many loopholes in these words......"

"Putting aside whether there really exists such an anti-heaven superpower as predicting the future in this world, I'll just mention one thing - if Thomas can really predict the future, why didn't he just avoid that path that day? Rather than using this radical method of killing people? ”

"Because it's too late...... Clyde said helplessly, "According to inquiries, this superpower of his is actually limited......"

"The 'future' that he can see must be as far as his eyes can see, in other words, as long as he can't see a place, the future of that place is unknown to him, and secondly, even if he can see the future, it will only be a short 'twenty seconds'......"

"He could only see what happened twenty seconds after that."

"So? That barely makes sense. Yan Xiuze touched his chin and groaned.

"The most amazing thing is that we did find many firearms and knives in the deceased's car, and it has been confirmed that the car that appeared to be 'broken' was actually caused by the deceased's previous active sabotage...... And, of course, the pistol that the deceased held tightly in his hand before he died...... As it turned out, it might have been an elaborate heist plan – and of course, the looter came close to succeeding, if it weren't for Thomas. ”

"So, that Thomas didn't lie?" Yan Xiuze asked.

"Not necessarily, after all, predicting the future is like a plot that only appears in a movie." Clyde shook his head, his expression quite entangled: "We can't cut open his brain and confirm whether he really has the ability to predict the future, even if there is evidence on the scene to support it, it is difficult to say whether it is this Thomas forged on the spot......"

"Even we're not sure if he's really a superpower...... After all, this Thomas doesn't have the super physique that most superpowers have. ”

"Because this case is so bizarre, there are no similar cases to refer to in previous years...... Coupled with Thomas's self-professed superhuman status, it was difficult for the local court in Texas to reach a verdict, so he was transferred to New York...... Calculating the time, it should be the first court session at 3 o'clock this afternoon. ”

"In New York?" Yan Xiuze asked.

Clyde nodded and affirmed, "It's in New York!" ”

"What? Curious? ”

"Of course, after all, it's the first time I've heard of such an interesting superpower." Yan Xiuze smiled: "This afternoon, I want to go and have a look." ”

……

At about half past two in the afternoon, Yan Xiuze came to the door of the New York courthouse early, and there was still half an hour before the trial began.

However, what he didn't expect was that the front of the New York courthouse at this time had already been surrounded by many reporters with long guns and short guns, so that many security personnel had to appear at the scene trying to maintain order.

"This matter is quite a big one......" Yan Xiuze muttered in a low voice, dodged, bypassed the crowded main entrance, and entered the courthouse through a relatively secret side door according to Clyde's instructions.

Because the sensation caused by this case was so great that the number of people who wanted to observe the case was too large to count, the court had to limit the number of observers in this session, but even so, the courtroom was still full.

Yan Xiuze because of the back door opened by Clyde, so he successfully passed the blockade of the security personnel, and successfully got a seat in the auditorium, looking left and right, there is still half an hour before the court starts, but the observer position is already full, and it is worth noting that almost more than half of the observers have a pen and a notebook in their hands, and they can quickly record anything that happens in the court at any time, Yan Xiuze is sure that they must be the most prestigious front-line reporters in New York.

For example, a blonde and blue-eyed beauty sitting next to Yan Xiuze.

"Are you...... Eye of the storm? The beautiful woman asked suddenly in a low voice.

"You know me?" Yan Xiuze was a little puzzled.

"Of course, as long as it is a superpower in the world whose identity has been revealed, I can recognize it at a glance." The blonde beauty stroked the curls between her sideburns, then stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ti Lijia, a reporter for the New York Times." ”

"Hello, as you can see, Eye of the Storm, Yan Xiuze." Yan Xiuze lightly touched Tirijia's hand.

"Sure enough, it's you!" Ti Lijia saw Yan Xiuze's real person, and said with some excitement: "But today's protagonist is not you, otherwise I should really do a special interview for you." ”

"It's been a long time since I've been interviewed by the media." Yan Xiuze shook his head with a smile, and just wanted to say something more, but his expression moved, and he slowly turned his head away.

The door to the courtroom suddenly opened, and several judges in charge of the case walked in slowly, followed by twelve members of the jury.

Unlike the civil law system used by Huaxia, Japan and other countries, the United States adopts the common law system, with a jury system, to a large extent, whether the defendant is guilty or not, is determined by these twelve non-professionals, although this system has indeed been criticized by many people, but it can indeed be regarded as a "least bad" method.

And after the jury entered, the next thing to enter was the two lawyers in charge of the case, as well as the defendant in this case, and the focus of the entire courtroom's attention - Thomas.
