"Remove the dinner knife" Yan Xiuze frowned slightly, and after a while, he stretched out again, as if he had an expectation of what De Weitz was going to say next.
"That's right, the reason why it wasn't clear before that whether the murderer was a telekinesis or the eye of the storm is that the dining knife, the tool of the crime, is something that both of them can control silently."
"But if the knife is removed, it is not difficult for the murderer to determine that Telekinesis can only control physical objects, while Eye of the Storm can kill people directly with air," De Witz explained.
"Just eliminating the knife is equivalent to removing the interfering variables that affect the judgment."
De Witz chuckled in a low voice: "In that case, then we might as well remove the table knife in this case that can interfere with your judgment."
Then, he slowly turned to Thomas, who was still expressionless, and said lightly: "Now I want to do a new test of your superpowers in court." ” "I oppose," Thomas's defense lawyer said aloud: "Thomas's ability to foresee the future has already been proven in the local courts in Texas, and now our discussion should focus more on the definition of justifiable defense and excessive defense."
"As I said, it's still too early to talk about justifiable or overly defensive."
Before the defense lawyer could finish speaking, De Witz had already unceremoniously interrupted him: "In the previous test, I thought there were too many irrelevant variables that caused misleading, so I asked for a retest, and if even Mr.
Thomas's self-confessed superpowers were fake, wouldn't it be ridiculous to discuss the question of what kind of overdefense or justified defense?"
"But" the opposing defense lawyer wanted to say something, but saw the old judge in the trial seat directly waved his hand: "The objection is invalid." ” So he had to sit back in his place stupidly.
With a faint smile on his face, De Witz bowed to the old judge, then stared at Thomas and said: "Now I will silently think about a number in my mind, and after ten seconds, I will say this number, since you have the ability to predict the future, then you might as well say what the number I will say in ten seconds" "This Deweitz really has a set."
Yan Xiuze's face also showed a look of admiration at this time.
"I don't quite understand, isn't De Witz playing tricks like this" Tirega, who was sitting next to him, was a little puzzled, and asked: "Generally speaking, if you want others to guess the number you want to say, shouldn't you ask Thomas to write the number on a piece of paper first, and wait until De Witz says the number, and then publish the answer that Thomas predicted, if Thomas is the first to say a number, and then De Witz changes his words and says another number, doesn't it prove that Thomas can't predict the future?"
"No, that's where De Witz excels."
Yan Xiuze shook his head and said, "Let's look down." ” At this time, Thomas, who was sitting in the defendant's dock, opened his eyes slightly, just looked at De Witz's face quietly, and then said the first sentence he said since the trial: "My ability is to predict the future, not to read minds." ” "It's because you said that your ability is to predict the future, not mind reading, that I made such a test."
De Witz's tone was slightly cold, and he said slowly: "If your ability is mind reading, then you can naturally read the numbers that come to my mind now, but unfortunately, you can't read my inner activity ten seconds later."
"If your ability is mind reading, as long as you say the numbers first, you will never be able to beat me."
De Wittz continued: "Because I can always say a number that is different from you at the last minute, and that's where the limitations of mind reading lie."
"The future is predictable."
"If your ability is really to predict the future, you can naturally calculate the possibility of me changing my words, and since the future is decided, no matter how much I quibble, you should always be able to say the correct number, right" There was an inexplicable flame in De Witz's eyes, which looked slightly infiltrating.
"No, it's not."
Still expressionless, Thomas explained in a flat tone: "I can see the future, but I can't control it. ” "Unlike the past, which has already happened, the future that I can foresee is not a single line."
"It's like when I say a number, I can always see a future where you change your mouth and say something else, or even say nothing."
"Isn't the future you can see already certain," De Wittz asked rhetorically, with a meaningful smile on his face.
"No one's future is a given fact that it is inevitable."
Thomas said lightly: "All I can see is some possibilities. ” "In other words, the future is actually undecided for you."
"While I can see all the possibilities in twenty seconds, you're right, and the future is really still undecided for me when there are still variables that don't have an impact on an event."
"Oops."
Yan Xiuze lowered his head and supported his forehead: "Thomas accidentally touched the road" "I see."
De Weitz's expression at this time changed to a look of sudden realization, touched his chin and muttered: "In other words, Miles, who was deliberately killed by you, and the incident of him robbing you with a gun may not necessarily happen in the future."
When De Witz said the sentence just now, he deliberately accentuated the tone of the words "deliberately hit and killed", and as soon as this remark came out, several members of the jury also showed a look of sudden realization on their faces.
"I'm against it," Thomas's defense lawyer had already had several bruises on his forehead at this time, and said urgently: "Lawyer De Witz was obviously asking my client a leading question just now."
"What is a leading question" De Wittz interrupted him unceremoniously again: "I was just restoring the truth of the whole thing, saying that you have only graduated for a few years, don't think that you can go up anywhere if you master a few professional terms."
"I," the defense lawyer, who was indeed relatively young, opened his mouth, but was dumbfounded by De Witz's sudden reprimand.
"What, this is not a grade at all" Even Yan Xiuze, who was sitting in the auditorium, could see that the two lawyers standing in the courtroom were not an order of magnitude at all, and they couldn't help but start a moment of silence for Thomas who was sitting in the defendant's seat.
Seeing that the young lawyer was speechless for the time being, De Weitz's face couldn't help but show a triumphant smile: "I think you have all fallen into a misunderstanding before, that is, the future that Thomas can predict must be an established fact that is about to happen. ” "But it doesn't seem to be the case, the robbery and even shooting of Mr.
Thomas is just one of the possibilities in the future infinite branch, and because of this possibility, Mr.
Thomas brutally killed a life like us, which is not justified defense at all."
"This is murder
