Little Sheldon looked at Esther's profile picture in the newspaper: "There's nothing wrong with being a bad guy."

"you sure?"

Little Leonard couldn't help laughing: "Think about where she is now? Prison! You couldn't even stay that night!

And who sent her there? Even if you really want to go dark, you can't become the great devil who rules the world!"

The figure of Chuck immediately appeared in Little Sheldon's mind. The joy just now disappeared instantly, and his whole body became unhappy again.

The Chuck they mentioned was playing chess with Beth Harmon and Linda in Peggy's apartment when he received a call from Chief Randy Tischer.

"Chuck, something is wrong. I received news that Esther has chosen Harrison Pwell as the defense attorney."

"Then what?"

Chuck asked calmly.

"I know he lost to you once, but after all, he is the number one criminal lawyer on the East Coast."

Randy said worriedly: "The prosecutor and I are a little worried."

"There's nothing to worry about."

Chuck said bluntly.

"Dr. Wolfe."

The prosecutor's voice rang directly on the phone: "What I'm worried about is not the confession, the evidence is solid.

My concern is that Harrison is fighting this case as if a mentally ill person was incompetent.

I just saw his newly submitted evidence.

Why don't you come over and take a look?"

"good."

Seeing that they were all so worried, Chuck stopped insisting, nodded in agreement, hung up the phone, and saw everyone looking over.

"Is it Esther's case?"

Linda and the others were not easy to talk to, but Monica didn't take this into account and asked directly.

"right."

Chuck said as he walked out: "You stay with them, I'll go over there."

"Any new developments?"

Monica followed Chuck to the door: "Are there any problems with this case?"

"The defense lawyer wants to use Esther's mental illness as an excuse to exonerate Esther."

Chuck paused and explained.

"How is this possible!"

When Monica heard this, she immediately frowned.

"Even if he is found not guilty of mental illness, he will not be released immediately, right?"

Linda immediately said excitedly: "Should we also be locked up in a mental hospital?"

"right."

Chuck nodded, and when Linda just breathed a sigh of relief, he reminded him bluntly: "But even being imprisoned is not that safe, there are various commutation measures, and you may be released early.

Not to mention a mental hospital.

As long as she has a connection or can perform, she can be released in advance.

Let me tell you a classic case and you will understand.

There once was a mentally ill patient with obvious serial perverted criminal tendencies. The psychiatrist clearly diagnosed that he would definitely commit a crime once he went out.

But for various reasons, he still went out.

Resulted in a series of violent crimes.

The innocent victims died horribly.

But after the criminal was caught, he was still sentenced to mental illness, was imprisoned again, and the process began to repeat.

If you have read DC Comics Batman, you should feel very familiar with it.

Gotham City is a city with simple folk customs and a land of outstanding people.

These plots and settings are not imagined out of thin air, but are completely based on reality."

"how so?"

Beth Harmon frowned and looked at Chuck with complete incomprehension: "If this is all right, then if anyone pretends to be a psychopath after committing a murder and crime, wouldn't this society be in chaos?

"

"Existence is reasonable."

Peggy smiled and said: "Not everyone is qualified to be a mental patient. Only those who are rich and powerful and have committed crimes can get this disease.

This is just one of the privileges of a small group of people at the top of society.

Ordinary people in the majority unless they are very lucky or have excellent acting skills.

Otherwise, it would not be able to impress the jury at all.

Want to pretend to be mentally ill?

You ask them if they are worthy?"

After saying this, she glanced at Monica with a half-smile.

"..."

The corner of Monica's mouth twitched. Having been with Peggy for a long time, she immediately understood what Peggy meant.

This is another classic quote that Peggy used to scare her: "Super geniuses are all mentally ill, and so are the rest of us!"

She secretly decided that when she went back and saw Joey, she would remind him again to be cautious about his relationship with Peggy's mother, Linda.

Because Esther, the fake Lolita and fake genius, committed murder and arson so unscrupulously, it was so difficult to be convicted, let alone Peggy, the real Lolita and the real genius.

Not to mention that if Peggy really wanted to commit a crime, it would be difficult for others to notice.

Even if someone does find out, her age, appearance, and her IQ and acting skills all give her a high chance of being acquitted.

If Peggy like this turns dark, that would be really scary!

"Then what should we do?"

Linda said fearfully.

"Don't worry, Chuck is here!"

Monica comforted: "Ester will definitely be sent to prison."

"Don't forget, you are the rich and powerful one now."

Peggy glanced at her sideways, looking down on Linda.

"I……"

Linda was stunned for a moment, then thought deeply.

In the past, she was controlled by her controlling husband, but she actually didn't have that deep understanding of this identity.

But now that her husband has died, his property belongs to her, as well as the life insurance money of up to 10 million yuan. With a net worth of tens of millions, she is considered a wealthy person even in the United States.

And the United States is exactly that society where ‘if you have money, you can do whatever you want’!

Chuck ignored their conversation, immediately went downstairs, and drove to the prosecutor's office.

Randy and the prosecutor received Chuck and showed him a newly submitted video of the conversation with Harrison Pwell as defense attorney.

The law stipulates that the submission of evidence needs to be announced in advance to give both the judge and the prosecution and defense enough time to prepare for the reliability of the evidence and how to treat it.

"Chuck, look."

Randy clicked on the video and played it for Chuck to watch.

But I saw him in a separate reception room in the prison.

Harrison Pwell arranged the forensic camera, sat across from Esther, and started chatting with her.

Aster, who was very manic and cruel before, is now in the camera, but his eyes are timid, like a frightened little animal. Under Harrison's guidance, he tells a key message.

"I don't know what happened, I don't even know why I appeared there... But I'm actually used to it, because this kind of thing has happened in the past..."

"Dr. Wolfe, you saw it too."

After the prosecutor waited for Chuck to watch the evidence collection video, he shook his head and said: "Harrison clearly wanted Esther to pretend to have a split personality.

One is her who is innocent, and the other is her who is responsible for the crime.

As for the innocent person, she knew nothing about the other criminal personality because she was often disconnected.
