"Can you find Joanna a counselor?"

At night, Ning Yuan was still sitting next to Shen Lie to inhale Yang Qi, and asked suddenly.

"Huh? Why?" Shen Lie stretched out his hands to pinch his belly, and asked casually, "Do you think she has a mental problem?"

Ning Yuan nodded: "I think her reaction is very strange."

Shen Lie said: "Do you want to treat her, or just want to confirm your thoughts?"

Ning Yuan looked at him with question marks all over his face.

Shen Lie saw Ning Yuan's lovely dazed expression, and couldn't help pinching his face: "If you just want to prove your idea and prove that she has mental problems, it is conceivable that Joanna's lawyer will not agree, we It is necessary to produce evidence to prove that she has a mental problem and played a big role in Peggy's matter before the judge will sign an order for us to make a psychological judgment for Joanna."

Ning Yuan: "...I really didn't think so much."

"Normal, you're not a prosecutor," Shen Lie smiled slightly, pointing, "Little pig."

Ning Yuan: "..."

angry!

Why are you so annoying!

Ning Yuan rolled his huge eyes, turned around humming and chirping: "Get your hands off my stomach!"

Shen Lie laughed.

How so cute and funny.

"There is one more thing, I don't want to hide it from you." Hearing Shen Lie say this suddenly, Ning Yuan was not angry anymore, turned his head in surprise, and moved back: "What's the matter?"

Shen Lie rubbed his hair: "From my standpoint, I will not let Joanna undergo a psychological test."

Ning Yuan opened his already big eyes wide.

Shen Lie slowed down his tone and explained to him: "Generally speaking, this kind of mental health condition will be used by defense lawyers as a condition for defense: 'Why does my client kill?' 'Why does my client rape?' They will all Give a unified answer: mental disorder. And this will be a way for the defendant to escape the law." He looked at Ning Yuan seriously, "I will not take the risk of handing Joanna the knife so that she can overcome the obstacles and find a way out. I just want to nail her to death in prison for the rest of her life."

Ning Yuan looked into Shen Lie's dark eyes, as if they were a long and deep tunnel, and also like stars in the night sky, not the blue and green that foreigners can see everywhere, but so attractive.

Shen Lie just looked at him like that, his eyes filled with rare tenderness: "Can you understand?"

Ning Yuan was silent for a while, and then said softly: "But if she really has a mental disorder, she needs treatment."

However, Shen Lie asked back: "Think about Peggy, do you think it is possible for Joanna to be cured? And if you can't cure her, how are you going to face Peggy's parents?"

Ning Yuan didn't speak.

One who can kill her good friend, scratch her face, cut off her femininity without mercy, and even dig out the child in her stomach——

Such a person, he did not dare to pat his chest and promise that he would be cured.

At this time, Ning Yuan began to feel confused about himself.

What he firmly believed in, what he insisted on, was shaken a little at this moment.

As a psychiatrist, he cannot cure a person with mental illness.

He knew that Joanna needed treatment, but the only thing that could make her pay was the law and prison.

Shen Lie looked at Ning Yuan, the bewildered look on that face made him feel pain in his heart.He would rather have a dead-faced and mean-spirited day than see such an expression.

Ning Yuan said: "...Is there really no other choice?"

Shen Lie paused, and pulled him into his arms: "I will contact her lawyer to discuss the deal."

But the other party may not accept it.

"Excuse me, do you want to offer a deal?" The defense lawyer Gary is a middle-aged man with a beer belly. Ning Yuan sighed that he looked like an old fritters. He smiled, "Why do we accept it? You are now There is no strong physical evidence, nor strong witness, I even doubt whether the local prosecutor's office will let you file a case."

Shen Lie still had a cold face: "You don't need to doubt it, you will know it during the trial."

Sitting next to her lawyer, Joanna spoke to Shen Lie, "I would like to hear the content of this transaction."

Shen Lie looked at Joanna who raised her chin with arrogance, and said in a calm tone: "Your client pleaded guilty, and I will offer your client to receive treatment in a psychiatric nursing home until he is cured before being discharged."

"Are you dreaming?" The defense lawyer's sarcasm was beyond words.

Joanna's laughter interrupted the lawyer, she looked at Shen Lie with interest: "Do you think I have a mental illness?"

Shen Lie also looked at him, expressionless: "Do you think you are normal?"

Joanna looked at her hands with bright red nail polish, and said indifferently: "Why? After all, Peggy is my best friend. Even though we share the same man, I won't blame her."

Defense attorney Gary frowned slightly, and expressed his attitude before Joanna said too much: "Prosecutor, I think we'll see you in court."

Shen Lie didn't care, took the document and left. When he reached the door, he turned around mockingly and said, "How can you sleep at night?"

Joanna smiled beautifully, and her eyebrows and eyes became vivid.

"I don't even dream at night."

Walking out of the interrogation room, Shen Lie shrugged: "I tried to give her a choice, but she didn't want to."

Ning Yuan didn't speak.

Shen Lie knew that he needed some time, so he didn't ask, but changed the subject: "The defense lawyer is right, it is very difficult to file a case with the evidence we have now."

Ning Yuan also seemed to have forgotten the topic just now, and frowned slightly: "Can't sue?"

Shen Lie said: "You can sue, but it's hard to win."

At this moment, Shen Lie's cell phone rang, and he picked it up, it was Casey.

"Shen? Come to the office. James is here. He has something new to discover."

"...you can see me when you turn a corner, what's your call?"

"... How did I know that!"

Manhattan Homicide Squad Office, New York

When Shen Lie came in, the Chinese-Russian forensic doctor was wearing a white lab coat and eating potato chips snatched from Casey. While eating, he teased Casey, making the latter roll up his arms and sleeves Roaring to fuck him, Dino rubbed his temples helplessly; Gloria didn't know who she was talking to with the microphone of the landline, her voice was not loud but sarcasm; Jerry, who had recently grown a mustache Don't dare to say anything.

Ning Yuan looked at everything in front of him, speechless: "Are they always in this state?"

Shen Lie raised the corners of his lips, and said in a low voice: "This is already very good, remember the anti-pornography operation that filled the office last time?" After finishing speaking, he added in a wicked way, "It's because you think I'm flirting with male prostitutes That time."

Ning Yuan: "...you shut up!"

Which pot is not open to mention which pot!

Shen Lie accepted it as soon as he saw it, and turned to James: "What did you find?"

James finally made a face at Casey, and handed a stack of documents to Shen Lie and Dino: "This is the final report of the laboratory, but I think it's better for me to come and talk about it in person."

Shen Lie took the document, casually flipped through it twice, and then closed it directly. Anyway, he couldn't understand it: "What's wrong?"

"Peggy's breasts and fetus were cut while she was still alive," James said.

Everyone: "..."

"What did you say?" Casey stood up from his seat with a bang, "Are you sure?"

James rolled his huge eyes: "Cutting living tissue will have an obvious reaction, which is very different from cutting dead tissue. This is the basic course of forensic medicine in medical school. If I confuse it, can I still graduate from college? Barron police officer?"

Casey ignored him, frowning even tighter.

While Shen Lie was disgusted, he also had a big question: "What exactly does Joanna want the fetus and breasts for?"

The author has something to say:

[Note] Ministry of Internal Affairs: (It is also the note from the previous chapter. I really have no brains...) The Ministry of Internal Affairs, what I found on the encyclopedia is different from my impression, and my impression comes from U.S. drama.So for the convenience of the plot, I will directly take the American drama as the standard!

Everyone knows that police officers are responsible for combating illegal and criminal activities, but what if there are dirty police officers?It's time for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to appear!The Ministry of the Interior will review the police officers who have been complained or impeached, and decide on the appointment, removal and punishment.If there is any behavior that does not comply with the rules, regulations and procedures, it will also be verified by the Ministry of the Interior, so all police departments in the United States will be annoyed by the Ministry of the Interior hahaha.And many police officers will also avoid involving the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the investigation, because if the Ministry of Internal Affairs thinks you are a bad police officer accidentally, you will lose your job and even your pension.
