On the fourth day of the incident.

9 a.m., Courtroom E.D.N.Y 10.

Everyone stood up, and Judge Anna entered with a solemn face and announced that the trial would continue.

The judge's assistant reads out the courtroom order. Brooklyn looked at the plaintiff's seat.

Today's prosecutors have one more stranger.

It was a lean old man, somewhat balding, dressed in a well-cut suit, sitting next to Coulson, looking focused.

The old man seemed to sense Brooklyn's gaze, turned his head to meet him, and nodded at him slightly.

"I'm Assistant Prosecutor, Ben Stone."

The old man got up and gave a brief introduction to himself, and then stood up to speak in place of Coulson.

"Your Excellency, the prosecution has requested exhibit No. 43."

Brooklyn flipped through the prosecution's list of evidence and sat down.

Exhibit No. 43 was a knife, a knife inserted into the abdomen of the deceased. The knife has Brooklyn fingerprints on it.

This Ben Stone gave Brooklyn a very dangerous feeling.

He should be the "master" behind Coulson's idea.

After discovering that the bloodstains did not work, he immediately made a decision, no longer continued to entangle, discarded the bloodstains, and prepared to draw the next big killer.

Judging from the courage alone, Coulson is 108,000 miles away from this one.

When the court adjourned yesterday, Coulson was still thinking about it, unwilling to give up the bloodstains, and wanted to continue to make a fuss about the bloodstains and continue to entangle with Brooklyn.

Ben Stone appeared today, and immediately discarded the bloodstain to open up a new battlefield.

Judge Anna granted Ben Stone's request.

The knife was packed in an evidence bag and delivered to Ben Stone.

He took the bag around slowly so that everyone could see it.

The body of the knife was also coagulated with crimson blood stains, and several bloody handprints were faintly visible on the brown hilt.

"We extracted a large number of fingerprints from the handle of the knife, and after comparison, most of the fingerprints belonged to the deceased."

Stone walked over to the jury and said.

His statement was very different from Coulson's. When he spoke, his tone was neither fast nor slow, and he had a sense of confidence and calmness, which made people involuntarily convinced.

"The other part matches the fingerprints of Brooklyn."

"We compared the bloody handprints on the hilt. Also coincides with Brooklyn. ”

"Not only that, but we simulated it through the traces left on the handle of the knife, and found that the murderer was holding the knife in his backhand, and that's it."

He pulled out a pen and held it in his right hand, most of it buried between the palms of his hands, with only a small part peeking out from behind his tail fingers.

Ben Stone held the pen behind his back and suddenly stabbed himself in the abdomen.

"It's like this."

"This coincides with the wounds on the body of the deceased."

Brooklyn listened quietly to Ben Stone's speech. He wasn't complacent about Ben Stone revealing such an obvious flaw—

Ben Stone's last action was to hold the pen and stab himself in the abdomen.

This is not actually in line with the prosecution's statement, but is closer to the Brooklyn inference that "the deceased committed suicide".

Brooklyn didn't think Ben Stone would leave him with such an obvious loophole.

"We compared the murder weapon with the wound on the deceased's abdomen, and after a lot of experiments, we found that if the deceased committed suicide by holding the murder weapon himself, the wound caused should be tilted at a certain angle."

"But the autopsy report showed that the wounds in the deceased's abdomen were straight."

He turned and pulled Coulson up, standing behind him with his hands under his armpits, holding the pen and stabbing Coulson in the abdomen.

"If you do it yourself, the arm will have a long margin, and in order to facilitate the force, the arm will inevitably bend, which will directly cause the pierced wound to produce a certain angle."

"If it is like this, holding a person in your arms, the excess length of the arm can be adjusted by the distance between the two sides, so that it is easy to find the right length of force, and the wound caused is straighter."

After the presentation, he let go of Coulson, stood in the plaintiff's seat, and concluded

"From the murder weapon and the wound, it can be seen that if the deceased wanted to cause such a straight wound by herself, she would have to repeat the suicide many times before she could find the right angle."

Ben Stone took one last look at the dock and sat down.

Brooklyn immediately stood up, not even giving Judge Anna a chance to maintain order in the courtroom, and spoke directly.

"I said yesterday that the marks on the handle of the knife were left when rescuing the deceased, but when I was about to pull out the knife, it was confirmed that the deceased was dead, so I gave up pulling out the knife."

He must speak immediately.

After Ben Stone finished speaking, there was a lot of buzz in the room, and many of the juries even spontaneously imitated his movements and then exchanged opinions with the adjacent jurors.

If he does not speak immediately and turn the tide of things, Ben Stone's reasoning will continue to take root in the minds of all people, and by then it will be too late for him to say anything.

It's not like yesterday.

Yesterday it was Coulson who told them what was going on, and people are often not impressed by other people's descriptions.

Today is the conclusion of the jury, which spontaneously followed Ben Stone's explanation, and reached the conclusion of its own experiment. People are much more impressed by the results of their own experiments.

Brooklyn picked up a piece of paper from the table and tore it into five parts, four of which were marked with a pen and one empty. He clumped five pieces of paper into a ball and held them in the palm of his hand.

"I have five pieces of paper here, four of which have marks on them and one of them blank."

He came to the jury with a ball of paper in his hand and stretched out to the front of No. 40.

"Pick one."

Number 40 chose a sheet to unfold, and there was a black ink blob on it.

"From the perspective of probability, the probability of selecting a marked paper ball is 4/5, and the probability of choosing a blank is 1/5.

"Look, this gentleman has chosen the one with the mark."

After showing the ink to the crowd, he reassembled it, mixed the five paper balls, and came to 39.

"Pick one."

This time it's still marked.

He repeated it over and on, and soon most of the jury had been chosen, and the papers they had chosen were all inked without exception.

Brooklyn came to 1 last juror.

"Pick one."

Juror 9 randomly picked up a nearby paper ball and unfolded it.

It was empty.

"It seems that our juror No. 9 was lucky."

Brooklyn shows you blank paper balls.

"In this mini-game, the probability of picking a mark is 4 times that of a blank one."

"I think a lot of people have bought lottery tickets. According to the probability calculation, the probability of winning the two-color ball is 1 in 17721088, which is 0.0000056%. ”

"If you buy it every day, it takes an average of 1,180 years to hit the first prize once."

"1180, ladies and gentlemen. It's remarkable that human beings have 1/10 of their lifespan. ”

"But why do we still hear about people winning the lottery so often?"

"Is every lucky first prize winner 1,180 years old?"

"Isn't the reason we call them lucky guys precisely because they have a 1/17721088 chance of picking?"

"It's the same in this case."

"I don't think it should be ruled out as long as it's possible, on the grounds that it's just ridiculous 'it's a small probability event.'"
