Chapter 37, revealing the old bottom

Brooklyn beckons to the guest assistant and tells him to go to the archives to get the materials.

Then he waved his hand at Ben Stone to pause the questioning, and he struck the gavel and said loudly

"In light of Hahn's character issues, and my knowledge of his past conduct, the court considered it necessary to keep the jury informed of Hahn's last appearance before the interrogation against Hahn began."

"Later you'll be watching a video of Hahn as a witness."

"After the video is viewed, the cross-examination will continue, and the jury will need to consider the content of the video provided by the court, as well as Hahn's performance later on, to confirm the credibility of the testimony given by this witness."

"After the trial is over, I will provide advice on the credibility of Hahn's testimony during the guidance phase, but this suggestion is not mandatory and definitive, it is only a guiding opinion and can be ignored."

After Brooklyn finished speaking, there was a slight commotion below, which soon fell silent again.

The three reporters were still fresh in their minds when they were asked out, and they didn't want to reprint other media reports, so they used second-hand news to report on the Red Devil parody murder that shocked New York.

Brooklyn nodded in satisfaction and cast an inquiring glance at Hahn.

Hahn had long since lost his smile, and he stared at Brooklyn in silence, his pure eyes beginning to twinkle with a gloomy.

The cameo assistant quickly retrieved the tape, and the big screen was moved back out, tucked into the tape, and began to play.

For the sake of time, Brooklyn chose not to start from scratch, but instead excerpted a short passage that happened to be the one in which Hahn sat on the witness stand as the defendant.

"You're going to love it, Hahn."

screen.

Hahn, who had not changed much from now, sat in the dock, his rather deceptive face covered with tears, and he tearfully described his tragic childhood.

He said that his mother was an addict, a J girl, and he didn't know who his father was since he was a child.

He said his stepfather was an alcoholic and scolded him at every turn.

He said that his stepfather contracted disease X, and that his stepfather insisted that his mother had infected him.

His mother soon died in her bed in a small hotel, stripped naked and tied up in a special position, with the rest of the red wine on the table and the bed covered with roses.

He began to live with his stepfather. The stepfather took everything he could to exchange it for money and bought alcohol to drink.

At one point, the stepfather got drunk and looked at his face similar to that of his mother......

He said that the reason why he became like this was all caused by his J-daughter mother and alcoholic stepfather.

He wept bitterly from the witness stand, repeating 'I'm sorry' and apologizing to the victim.

Hahn's eloquence and emotional rendering skills were top-notch, and everyone in the courtroom wept over his tragic past.

Except for one person.

Just as Courtroom No. 9 was moving towards sensationalism, a calm voice rang out.

"You're lying!"

When the fashionable and immature Brooklyn said seriously.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, he pointed to Hahn and asked

"Are you sure your mother is a J girl, don't you know who your father is?"

Hahn cried and replied, "Yes, I'm sure, my mother is a J girl, I really don't know who my father is." ”

Brooklyn nodded, and asked, "Please tell me about it backwards." ”

Hahn was stunned, "What? ”

"Please tell it backwards, starting when you are caught by the police, and speaking backwards until your mother gives birth to you."

Hahn pursed his lips and spoke slowly.

He first recounted how he was caught, and then started with the last case, from how to pick the target, get close to the target, seduce the target, to kill the target, and set up the scene......

Hahn goes on one by one, and it flows smoothly, with descriptions inserted between the narratives, which sounds very believable.

Soon he finished talking about his first crime, recounting his nervous, excited and exciting psychology at that time, and began to talk about his life before committing the crime.

Three years after committing the crime, he spent more than three hours describing it, and his voice was full of emotion and vividness, and those who heard it were as if he were there.

For more than two decades, he had finished it in just half an hour, dry, emotionless, descriptive, emotional, or immersive—though he tried so hard.

He even stopped several times to think, deny, repeat, as if he had lost his memory.

"When people lie, they can often accurately concoct everything in the correct timeline, even some subtleties."

In the video, Brooklyn explains

"But liars don't think about a backward timeline, they don't write it backwards."

"When a liar is asked to describe the order of things in reverse, they tend to pause, repeat, think, and deny. And those who tell the truth don't. ”

In addition, when people lie about answering questions, they subconsciously repeat them. For example, when I asked you a question earlier, you could actually just answer yes or no. ”

"And keep nodding your head when you say 'I'm sorry.'"

Brooklyn mercilessly stripped Hahn of his disguise.

"When you call victims, you don't use their names, you use their code names."

"When you mention the victim, your pupils are dilating. Seriously, Hahn, it's out of place for me to say this as a judge, but I can't help but say it. ”

"Hahn, you're really disgusting."

"The dilated pupils of people are nothing more than three emotional effects: fear, anger, and Xingyu."

"I can't read fear or anger in your body. Hahn, you're really disgusting. ”

"Oh, and your frequent nose touching."

"Maybe you don't know, men have cavernous bodies in their noses. When you want to hide something, your nose gets itchy. Like now. ”

On the screen, Hahn raised his hand, about to touch his nose, and the whole person stiffened there.

"Flattening the mouth and shrinking eyelids are signs of fear. You're scared of me right now. ”

With Hahn's performance on the screen, Brooklyn's voice is everywhere.

"You must be wondering how I know. You've always been confident that you're wearing a beautiful skin that can deceive the world. Now that I see through it, I see through what a disgusting soul is under your delicate skin, and therefore you are terrified. ”

"You start clasping your hands on your chest, leaning back, moving to the right, trying to move away from me, which is typical of an impedance response. You think I'm dangerous, I'm threatening you. ”

"The problem is, Mr. Hahn, you just swore by the Bible with your hand that you wouldn't lie."

"Won't your heart be tormented?"

The voice fell, and the video stopped, and the image froze on Hahn's face distorted by resentment.

DuangDuangDuang!

Brooklyn strikes the gavel to wake up the crowd immersed in the video.

"The above video data is just for reference, okay, Ben, you can ask questions."
