Chapter of the Judge (5)

On May 10, a week has passed since Lance was "arrested".

This week, he was in prison not only had no trouble at all, but could also sleep in a single room, greeting him with good wine and food every day, reading books and listening to music. This day... it is better to say it is vacation than serving his sentence.

If this happened in a place like Nine Prisons, perhaps no one would feel anything wrong, but in a prison in the Hague city where ordinary prisoners are held, a person who has not yet been "convicted" enjoys this privileged detention, which will naturally attract people's attention.

Even if the prison guards received orders not to talk about the matter publicly, prisoners would not take this trick; any tabloid reporter could get such information from the prisoners as long as they were willing to pay a little "intelligence fee", and the prison did not have a legitimate reason to prevent these people from visiting.

In short, not long after, Lance's name was published, and a certainly inducible news title like "Members of the Resistance Organization enjoy VIP treatment in prison?" has also appeared online.

Of course, at this point in time, the relevant news reports have not caused much storm. After all, this is just a trivial matter and not a "global live broadcast".

The prison was also strictly guarded this week, preventing the possibility of Lance receiving any external information; except Raymond, no one could have contacted Lance alone, and even the person responsible for delivering food to him had to be accompanied by at least two prison guards to send his food to the cell.

In this way, on the afternoon of the 10th, the first "public trial" of Lance began.

Based on the principle of doing a full set of dramas, FCP dispatched a large number of "official extras" to play the "media" and "ordinary people" who were listening. Several cameras on the scene also deliberately avoided the jury as if they were real (because the trial cannot be completed within one day, any trial broadcasting to the outside world cannot expose the appearance of the jury). The filmmakers they invited were also real professionals...

However, it was such a performance that had paid great attention to details that had just started and was discovered by Lance.

"Lei, you know about this scene, right?"

This sentence was a response from Reims after Raymond read out the indictment and Lance's rights.

When Raymond heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately exchanged glances with Judge Roberts.

Two seconds later, Lei pretended not to hear it and said, "Defendant, please answer my question, do you want to give up the lawyer assigned by the court and choose to defend yourself..."

"You can't tell the truth if you're not really broadcasting?" Lance interrupted him because he didn't want to hear such words that both sides knew were nonsense.

So Raymond put down the document in his hand, sighed slightly, and looked at Roberts again, with his eyes as if he was saying: "You'd better do it."

Roberts thought for a while, pushed the reading glasses on his nose, looked at Lance, and said solemnly: "Defendant, we have broadcast the trial globally as you ask, if you still don't believe it..."

"You just take out a few portable TVs or mobile phones that have been prepared in advance to prove this to me?" Lance said directly to the second half of the sentence the other party wanted to say, "I think it's better to avoid it. I'm too lazy to expose this level of trick."

Now, Roberts was not easy to respond to, and he seemed quite angry; Raymond, who was standing beside him, was also difficult to respond to, because in the current situation, if you want to continue the conversation, you can only admit that they were cheating, but "accepting" this matter is equivalent to declaring that the whole operation today has failed... Therefore, it is not his turn to do this action. If you really want to admit it, you must admit it by the judge with the highest authority here.

"Stop holding on, he's not cheating you." At this moment, Carmen, who was sitting in the first row of the hearing table, suddenly spoke, breaking the deadlock at the scene. "If you keep pulling it down, his words will gradually become unpleasant..."

Her two words were directed at Roberts and Raymond, and they also admitted that the live broadcast of today's trial was false.

Now that things have come to this point, Roberts has no need to continue acting. He simply put on a bad face and said to Lance in a cold tone: "Mr. Lance, don't think you are very smart. Your actions are also exposing yourself."

"Oh? What did I expose? Tell me," Lance asked with a smile.

"Isn't this obvious? You can say that this is a fake live broadcast with such certainty, which is nothing more than proof... At this moment, you are receiving messages from some accomplice from outside." Roberts replied.

"Is this so? Can't this be the conclusion I came to based on my own observations and reasoning?" Lance asked again.

"Hmph..." Roberts snorted coldly, without commenting on it.

"So that's it... I roughly understand." Lance nodded with a chuckle and said in a sarcastic tone, "Official bureaucrats with narrow thinking like you can't think of such a fake live broadcast, so... who would it be?" At this point, he slowly turned his head, as if he was going to scan the hearing seat behind him.

However, Lance's face had only turned less than forty degrees, and a finger poked his cheek.

"What do you want to do?" Carmen, who was sitting just now, had come to Lance's back at some point. At this moment, she was stretching out a finger and pressing it on Lance's left face, stopping the other party from turning back.

"What? Can't I take a look at the trial seat?" Lance asked.

"No." Carmen replied.

"Why not?" Lance asked again.

"Why did you say?" Carmen asked back.

"Because you think I will find the suggestor of the 'fake live broadcast plan' from the hearing table and do it badly?" Lance didn't count his words, because he knew that Carmen would stop him from looking back because he expected this.

"Isn't it?" Kamendao.

"Yes," Lance continued, "but you may not be right in this way." He paused and continued, "If you don't stop me from turning back, that person still has a certain chance to deceive me with his acting skills, so that I believe that 'the person who came up with the idea is not in the trial table', but now, you are equivalent to telling me that that person is 100% in the trial table..." He shrugged and smiled, "Are you not afraid...I killed all the people sitting there?"

"You kill me, and then kill me, after all, I was sitting there just now." Carmen responded fearlessly.

"Ha..." Lance smiled again.

Carmen knew he wouldn't kill people like this because it didn't fit the logic of the game between them.

Suppose there are a hundred people now, one of them you want to kill, then you must find that person, be sure that he/she is your target, and then kill him/her, which is what it means to "win this step".

Suppose there are a hundred people now, one of them you want to kill, and then you kill all one hundred people. This method is called "anyone can come."

"Okay~ I won't look back if I don't look back." After a breath, Lance turned his head back and looked ahead. Just when everyone else thought he was going to give up, he suddenly changed his tone and said, "Anyway, before I turn back, the judge's eyes have already betrayed the general direction. Your finger is not on the right, but on my left, waiting also proves this..."

When he said this, Carmen's heart was already cold, and she immediately understood that when Lance walked into the court, he had already recorded the appearance of everyone on the trial table.

At this moment, since Lance had determined a general area through the judge's sight, then, he could quickly use the method of exclusion to lock the head of Rutt among those people.

Indeed...it can also achieve the goal without looking back.

"In the past ten minutes since I walked into the courtroom, if he hadn't changed his seat..." On the other side, Lance's narrative continued, "... Then I want to find someone, the middle-aged blonde man in a gray suit sitting in the third position near the corner in the second last row."

"Everyone! Stay in place and don't move!" The next second, Carmen suddenly raised his voice and shouted in a commanding tone.

"Hahaha... I wish you good luck." Lance knew what she was going to do, so he jokingly encouraged the other party.

As a result, before he finished speaking, Carmen knocked him out with a hand knife.

"Deputy Minister Moleno, please explain your current behavior." Roberts had long been unable to understand the situation. He could not understand the conversation between the two people, nor could he keep up with the thinking of the two people, so he had to ask what was going on.

"At this moment, in this court, there is some kind of surveillance equipment, or someone is transmitting what is happening here." Carmen replied.

This is exactly the opposite of Roberts' inference just now. Roberts believed that someone was telling Lance about the outside information, so Lance knew that the trial was not really broadcast live.

"How did you know?" Roberts asked again a few seconds later.

"He just reported all the seats, genders and characteristics of Chief Rutte, right?" Carmen continued.

"Yes." Roberts said, "but he is showing off, right?"

"It is enough to prove that he guessed correctly if he was to show off... With his observation and reasoning ability, coupled with his bad taste, he would probably talk about some other people's living habits or mistress types," Carmen continued. "But he did not do that, but instead described the most visually intuitive characteristics of clothing, age, hair color, and other prerequisites, "from the ten minutes I walked into the court to the present, if he had not changed seats," he seemed to be afraid that the person who heard him would make a mistake..."

"He has an accomplice watching!" Raymond reacted quickly. At Carmen's reminder, he quickly showed an expression of enlightenment and continued loudly, "He said these words to someone who was sitting in front of the monitor and watching us! That's why he described those things!"

As soon as this statement came out, the "generals" in the audience became nervous; except for the judges, prosecutors, stenographers, and bailiffs who were working in the court, the other 90% were FCP agents or federal police officers, and 10% were professional videographers with cooperation with the official... It can be said that from the hearing table to the jury table, they were all from the federal people. Now they heard that people who resisted the organization were looking at themselves through some means, which felt quite terrifying.

"Lutter (local FCPs) branch, director of Powell (local police station), judge, and prosecutor, please come out and search with me under my instructions." Carmen pointed out four people she thought she could absolutely trust and continued, "Others, please stay in place and cooperate with our actions..." After a half second, she added, "From this moment, any abnormal movements of you may be regarded as a dangerous move by me, and the consequences are... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
