I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 348 Final Judgment (big chapter)

Remember in a second【】

On February 23, the Jianghai City 2.1 major homicide case was heard for the first time.

The procuratorate prosecuted the Internet article author Zhang Mou for killing Li Mou at home and Yu Mou in accordance with the law.

In court, Zhang confessed to his murder, but denied the long-planned plan proposed by the plaintiff.

At the same time, the defendant's lawyer also provided evidence to prove that Li and Yu bought their own tickets and came to Zhang's home, and they had a dispute with Zhang, and Zhang was excessively defensive.

As for the cause of death of the two victims, Zhang claimed that he was in a state of confusion at the time and couldn't remember clearly.

In addition, the defendant's lawyer Liu Zhe also provided the court with a psychiatric report, proving that his client Zhang had suffered from multiple personality disorder.

He argued: When the main personality commits a crime, the sub-personality has no control over it. When the inferior personality without criminal intention returns to the dominant position, because it does not have the ability to identify and control the crime committed by another personality, Therefore, it should be determined that he does not have the capacity for responsibility, and no punishment will be imposed.”

The plaintiff pointed out: Even if the defendant really suffers from 'multiple personality disorder', he cannot be exempted from punishment, because the criminal personality does not necessarily appear when it will appear. If the defendant is not guilty in the end, it is equivalent to escaping punishment together with the main personality. Who can guarantee that he will not commit crimes again.

Then the lawyer representing the defendant issued another certificate, proving that his client Zhang had successfully merged his personality with the help of Huang Jikai, an internationally renowned expert on mental illness.

He explained to the prosecutor: In other words, the main personality Yu who committed the crime has been completely wiped from the world and has received the punishment he deserved. The innocent sub-personality should not be used as a scapegoat for his crimes.

The two sides fought for several hours over whether the sub-personality should bear the consequences of the main personality's criminal behavior. Before sunset, the first court session ended, and the presiding judge dropped the hammer and set a date for sentencing.

Due to the special circumstances, this case has received great attention both in the judiciary and in the society, and has aroused extensive discussions among the people who eat melons.

Some people think that no matter which personality commits a crime, it is a criminal act committed by this body and should be punished accordingly.

But more people believe that some other types of mental illness patients can be mitigated or exempted from punishment, so patients with schizophrenia should receive the same treatment.

After the trial, the suspect Zhang Jue, who was supposed to be at the center of the vortex, lived an unprecedentedly comfortable life.

Clothes to stretch out your hands to eat food to open your mouth, and there is still half an hour of wind time every day.

A week after the trial, he met his attorney, Liu Zhe again.

How are you feeling recently?

It's okay, I should eat and drink, but it's a bit boring, when will the verdict be out?

Not so fast. Now that your matter has been received, the higher-ups will pay more attention to it. It will be slower and more rigorous than the normal process, but it won't take too long. The results should come out within two months.

Yes, the efficiency is quite high.

You don't seem worried.

Is there any use in worrying?

Liu Zhe squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Jue. Since the fusion of personality that day, this person has become different from before, which is unpredictable. …

The voices on the Internet are beneficial to you now. Although they cannot play a decisive role, they can affect the outcome of the trial to a certain extent. Liu Zhe continued: Next, you may have to conduct several mental tests on you. I want to confirm with you that you have indeed fused the memory of the main personality, so you won’t think of yourself as some kind of consultant Zhang from the Bureau of Abnormal Organisms, right?”

Zhang Jue understood what he meant, leaned back on the chair and laughed: I'm just an ordinary person, a writer of novels.

As long as you know.

After confirming that Zhang Jue was fine, Liu Zhe got up to pack his things and prepared to leave.

Zhang Jue also stood up.

Lawyer Liu, thank you for your hard work these days.

It doesn't matter, this is my duty. Liu Zhe shook his head, Besides, the verdict has not yet come down, so no one can say what the final result will be.

Zhang Jue raised the corner of his mouth, and a strange light shone in his deep eyes: No, I believe in your ability, Lawyer Liu, and I will definitely be acquitted.

...

On April 10, the results of the first trial were announced.

The criminal suspect Zhang Mou negligently killed Yu Mou and Li Mou. The facts are clear and the evidence is sufficient. However, because Zhang Mou suffers from multiple personality disorder, he will not be held criminally responsible according to law.

The victim's family refused to accept the judgment and appealed in court.

The case was handed over to the Supreme People's Court of Jianghai City for trial.

On June 20, the Supreme People's Court of Jianghai City made the final judgment on the 2.1 homicide case: the first-instance Huanhua District Court upheld the original judgment with clear facts and correct application of the law.

After more than four months of investigation and evidence collection and mental tests, Zhang was released in court, and the case that caused a lot of noise in Jianghai City finally came to an end.

Because of the special circumstances of the case, although the verdict has been handed down, there are still many people who refuse to accept the verdict and yell and scold on the Internet.

Zhang Jue's residence was also taken out by human flesh, and rotten eggs were thrown into it every day.

But since he was released, he has never appeared in the public eye again, as if he has evaporated from the world, and no one knows where he went.

July 25.

It's two o'clock in the morning.

a body

^0^ Remember in a second【】

A young man in a light blue suit and rimless glasses stepped out of a taxi.

In front of him was the tallest building in Jianghai City - Ronghua Hotel.

Entering the hotel lobby, instead of going to the front desk, he went straight into the elevator and pressed the button on the top floor.

The elevator slowly ascended to the top floor.

He walked into the stairwell, all the way to the terrace.

Ronghua Hotel is the highest point in Jianghai City. Standing on the terrace on the top floor, you can have a panoramic view of Jianghai City. If it is daytime, some people will always come here to see the different scenery and experience the feeling of seeing all the small mountains.

But it was two o'clock in the morning.

After a whole day of hustle and bustle, the whole city gradually quieted down and fell into a deep sleep.

The young man's leather shoes stepped on the ground, making a clicking sound, and walked to the edge of the terrace step by step.

The breeze blows.

With the faint light on the edge of the terrace, he saw another man leaning on the railing, looking up at the moon.

There are people who can't find you in the whole world. I didn't expect you to be here. The man in the suit said to the back, Mr. Zhang, don't come here without any problems.…

Zhang Jue turned around, stretched out his hands, leaned his back against the railing, and looked at Liu Zhe.

Lawyer Liu, don't be humble. Even if you can't find me in the whole world, you will be able to find me. Don't deny it. You came here not long after I sent you a message. It's early in the morning. I don't know. Thought I owed you money.

Zhang Jue had a meaningful smile on his face, making it unpredictable.

Liu Zhe said calmly, I'm just worried about your safety.

Zhang Jue changed his posture and tapped his toes on the ground: It's been a month since my case, how can you still be so caring about a client whose case has already been concluded? Attorney Liu, you are really a kind person. .”

Zhang Jue's tone was slightly mocking, and Liu Zhe frowned.

Mr. Zhang, what do you want to say when you come to me so late? If there's nothing else, I'm leaving.

Zhang Jue nodded indifferently: Okay, you go, I will jump from here after you go.

Liu Zhe narrowed his eyes, but didn't dare to move his feet.

Mr. Zhang, please calm down. We managed to get you out of the crime. I don't know what you have been through these days, but don't be impulsive. Everything is easy to talk about. I can help you if you have any questions.

Like an expert negotiator, Liu Zhe spoke calmly, trying to persuade Zhang Jue to leave the edge of the terrace, but he laughed instead.

Lawyer Liu, look at me now, do I seem to be impulsive?

...

Zhang Jue looked relaxed, with a faint smile on his face, no one would believe that he would jump off the building on impulse.

But Liu Zhe has a feeling that he will jump, and it is very strong.

Seeing him as if facing a formidable enemy, Zhang Jue smiled slightly.

Aren't you curious about what I did this month? I can tell you that I went to the University of Political Science and Law, Yingke Law Firm, the hospital, the Bureau of Investigation, and even the Procuratorate once.

Liu Zhe's eyelids drooped: You're investigating me.

Yes, I'm investigating you. Zhang Jue admitted generously, Unfortunately, I couldn't find out anything. If you dare to appear in front of me, it means that you have arranged everything. You even Waiting for me to investigate you, am I right?

Seeing that Liu Zhe didn't speak, Zhang Jue continued: But this perfect resume is the most doubtful thing - you seem to be the person who made it for me, waiting here at this point in time, for I reverse the case.

Liu Zhe shook his head, still with a concerned look on his face: Consultant Zhang, your mental condition is not very good, I don't think it's a problem.

No, believe me, Lawyer Liu, since I came to this world, my thinking has never been as clear as it is today.

In the darkness, Zhang Jue took a step forward, looking at Liu Zhe's righteous face with the help of the faint light on the balcony.

He said softly, I don't have any schizophrenia at all, do I?

Night, very still.

Occasionally, a breeze blew by, bringing Zhang Jue's bangs and trembling slightly.

A plane flew through the night sky, making a buzzing sound.

Liu Zhe tilted his head: Mr. Zhang, have you... been stimulated by something again?...

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I'll tell you.

Zhang Jue took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket.

Since the first day I came to this world, I have been doubting the authenticity of this world, and I have been doing experiments constantly, trying to escape, but it was all destroyed by you. You injected me with amnestics to make me I mistakenly thought that the self-harming person was another personality of mine. You kept reinforcing and hinting at this point, which almost made me believe it, but there is no way, I am stronger than you think.

The more seamless you are, the more flaws you will expose. Later, my amnesia will become more and more frequent because you have to do this. You have to find a reasonable reason to hypnotize me and convince me that that Zhang Jue, the author of the online article, is the real self—this is your real purpose.

Liu Zhe snorted, as if he didn't know what to say.

As I said, you misestimated your own IQ. I'm smarter than you think.

Zhang Jue lifted up his clothes, revealing his scarred chest and

^0^ Remember in a second【】

Abdomen: Ever since I failed to escape for the first time, I realized that I can't compete with you with the current me. I have to pretend to cooperate in order to know your real purpose, so I left some messages for myself. Although every time I Realizing that something is wrong with the world, you're all going to give me amnestics, but this information helps me remember it time and time again.

I guess you have studied the arrangement of these wounds, but failed to find a pattern. I can tell you now that it is a mirror.

Liu Zhe remained silent, so Zhang Jue simply asked and answered by himself.

These wounds I left on my body can only be deciphered after a mirror image flip at a certain point. You don't know my habits, so of course it is impossible to decipher them in a short time. Later, you realized the problem, so you used medicine to decipher it. The water corrodes the scars on my body, but sorry, as long as I see it once in a waking state, those graphics will be deeply imprinted in my mind, unless you completely erase all the memories of my coming here Except, but you can't do that, because that would mean all your previous efforts were in vain.

Zhang Jue was appreciating the night scenery of Jianghai City while knocking the melon seeds.

So you can only enshrine me carefully, hoping that I will not be so smart, just like playing a save game, luring me into your trap bit by bit, actively accepting your hypnosis, making me think that I am living in Ordinary people in this world, completely say goodbye to my previous experience—unfortunately, it still fell short in the end.”

After Zhang Jue finished his long speech, he felt a little thirsty. He threw away the melon seed husk in his hand, and somehow conjured up a bottle of mineral water, opened the lid and drank it all in one gulp.

On the opposite side, lawyer Liu Zhe, who had been silent since he started talking, suddenly applauded.

Consultant Zhang, I really have to admire your imagination. You made up such a twists and turns. No one can do it except you. Now you think you are the consultant Zhang of the Abnormality Management Bureau. Someone wants to kill you? Oh, it’s ridiculous.”…

We met by chance. I can understand that you don't trust me, but now the case is over and you are free. As long as you don't hurt others, no one will interfere whether you regard yourself as a web writer or a consultant to the authority. You found me in the middle of the night. I, what's the use of talking about such a lot of inexplicable things?

After Liu Zhe finished speaking, Zhang Jue paused for a while holding the mineral water bottle.

He found that this Liu Zhe was also more powerful than he had imagined, and he could see through his intentions at a glance.

Although he was impassioned and stripped the whole thing down, there was one biggest loophole—he had no evidence.

If one day, you suddenly realize that this world is false, how will you prove it?

The reason why Zhang Jue found Liu Zhe and deliberately said those words to stimulate the other party was to let him show off.

But Liu Zhe was not fooled, he performed flawlessly from the beginning to the end.

In other words, it is the same as the reaction of a normal person.

If Liu Zhe didn't lie, this is the real world, what should he do?

Zhang Jue realized that the opponent he encountered this time was unprecedented.

He glanced downstairs through the railing, and the distance of more than a few hundred meters made him feel a little dizzy.

If he was still the consultant Zhang Jue, it would be nothing at all to jump off the top.

But in this world, he is an ordinary person, and the only thing he can rely on is his wisdom.

Seeing Zhang Jue's small movements, Liu Zhe frowned: Are you going to jump from here? I advise you not to do it. You finally regained your new life. You should enjoy life.

No, you're not right. If the things I've experienced are all fake, then there's no point in continuing to live in a daze here.

Zhang Jue shook his head.

I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have always claimed to be smart. I always thought that I could use my own head to make everything safe and in my own hands. But how can there be such a good thing? It is not true. When writing novels, people will always encounter things beyond their control.”

Zhang Jue looked at Liu Zhe: Lawyer Liu, would you risk your own life for an uncertain idea?

Liu Zhe shook his head.

In the past, I wouldn't know it, but I just figured it out. A person must have something that he can protect with his life.

Zhang Jue put the water bottle in his hand aside, stretched, and then climbed onto the railing.

Liu Zhe watched his movements with a calm expression, and did not step forward to stop him.

If a person wants to die with all his heart, no one can stop him.

Zhang Jue opened his arms, and the night breeze blew by, making the hem of his clothes shake and rustle.

Before jumping down, Zhang Jue turned his head and took one last look at Liu Zhe.

Lawyer Liu, if I guess wrong, please help me collect the corpse. He paused, then laughed, If I guess correctly, I will definitely come back to collect the corpse for you.

After finishing speaking, he jumped forward under Liu Zhe's calm gaze.

Seeing Zhang Jue's figure disappear into the night, Liu Zhe sighed.

...

Feeling weightless, Zhang Jue closed his eyes, waiting for the moment of death.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, five seconds, tens of seconds passed. …

There is no strange feeling in the body.

He opened his eyes and found himself standing in a dark cell with his hands still open.

The prison rack in front of him was empty.

^0^ Remember in a second【】

A moment later, a deep voice came from behind.

Zhang Jue, you really impress me.

When he turned his head, he saw a tall man sitting on a suspended throne, looking down on all living beings and looking down on everything.

Who else but the Hanged King will come.

The moment Zhang Jue saw the Hanged King, he knew that he had made the right bet, that the world was indeed fake.

He let out a long breath.

No excitement, no excitement, just relief.

The time here is just a moment, but he spent more than five months in that false world.

Although not long, it seems like a lifetime away.

The Hanged King, restored to his human form, wears a gray cloak and holds a goblet in his hand.

Consultant Zhang, I owe you a favor. If you have any request, you can ask for it, and I will help you solve it.

Zhang Jue collected himself, walked slowly to the throne, and looked up at the Hanged King.

Before this, we have already made an agreement. Although it is difficult to complete, a transaction is a transaction. Zhang Jue clasped his fists at the Hanged King, My request remains the same, please help me return to the original world .”

Consultant Zhang, with all due respect, which one do you mean by the 'original world'?

Hearing the Hanged King's question, Zhang Jue was slightly taken aback.

Which world does he want to return to?

While trapped here, he didn't think about it.

Because it doesn't make sense.

But now he has the power to choose.

Should he return to that grotesque world, or return to his hometown?

this is a problem.

...

Thanks to Mr. Qin Zhidao for the reward, thank you for your votes, thank you! !
