Chapter 97

Liu Laoshi said angrily, "All of you, go back and write a self-criticism. I need to write one too."

"Ah, Master, why?"

"Chen Fan is right. We must rationally judge all evidence. From the moment I entered the room, I admit I was influenced by these things in the room, lost my ability to judge, and indeed failed to pay attention to all the evidence."

The audience was also confused as to why Chen Fan was defending this old man.

In the afternoon, Old Song returned to the forensic department. At this time, Liu Laoshi was leading several students in an experiment, conducting forensic teaching. Old Song entered the room and immediately saw Chen Fan, saying, "How did you know?"

"Know? Know what? What do you think I should know? Shouldn't you apologize?"

"I apologize. I admit my heart was in the wrong place. I really should apologize."

Chen Fan said, "A child worth teaching. Daddy still loves you very much."

"Go away. Tell me, what is your judgment?"

The audience in the live stream was confused. No, wait, what exactly happened?

What are you guys talking about?

Chen Fan continued, "Two points. First, the underwear was very clean. I didn't find any extra fingerprints or other stains."

?????

Old Song was dumbfounded.

Chen Fan continued, "Second, the neighbors in the vicinity didn't point fingers at the old man. I asked around, and these people think the old man is very normal."

Liu Laoshi explained, "In pathology, this is called hoarding, but this hobby is just a bit strange."

Chen Fan said, "Exactly. A minority hobby, just liking underwear, but he never did anything out of line with the underwear. This shows he just likes to collect them. As for these books, photos, and posters, is there a problem? Who hasn't seen them? The reason everyone insulted this old man is just because they couldn't accept that something they did was exposed by the media."

After speaking, Chen Fan ignored Old Song and continued reading his book.

Qu Yiling said, "Officer Song, what exactly happened?"

"The person has been caught. It was a local thug. The neighbors reported it, we tracked him, and when we appeared beside him, the guy confessed everything."

"Why did he kill?"

Why?

Old Song said, "It's very simple. This person was harassing others while drinking at night. The old man who was cleaning up trash at the restaurant entrance stood up, and as a result, the old man was beaten by that man. No one came to help. The police station opened a case and punished him, but only for fighting."

Chen Fan said, "The girl didn't stand up, didn't take the initiative to testify for the old man, right?"

Old Song was silent for a long time and said, "Yes."

"Then you can't blame others. He deserved it."

Liu Laoshi said, "What are you doing? Chen Fan, have you forgotten your identity?"

"I'm just complaining, can't I even say that?"

"As a forensic examiner, you cannot complain about these things at will. You are a forensic examiner; you must know where your responsibility lies. Didn't you say you are emotionless?"

"I'm emotionless? Who said that? I'm just annoyed. I have my own evaluation criteria."

Old Song stared at Chen Fan and said, "You'd better not commit a crime. Consider that my personal request."

"Don't worry, I won't."

After speaking, he lowered his head and continued reading.

Over here, in the observation room, the people in the live stream were all plunged into deep self-reproach.

"Damn it, I'm really a piece of trash."

"Fuck, I remember now. There were so many people in the restaurant, why was it only the old man who stood up?"

"Also, why didn't that group of men eating protect the girl?"

"To the person above, the old man protected her, but what about the girl? Why didn't she stand up?"

For a time, the live stream was plunged into a huge argument.

Qin Ming silently wrote in his book.

"In this world, there is always a lot of prejudice. Being able to truly look at anyone without prejudice is great wisdom. Your hobby is never wrong; the knife that kills is always the cruelest."

"Officer Song, what about the person who beat him?"

Old Song looked at the students who were asking and said, "I don't know. Didn't you forensic examiners give a death judgment? Was he beaten to death directly? That's intentional homicide. Intentional homicide, plus the history of beating people before, is enough for this kid to suffer."

At this moment, everyone's heart was put at ease.

Chen Fan closed the book and said, "Yes, this book is really good. The old man has an eye for things."

Several people looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan said, "What are you looking at me for? Like me? Fallen in love with me?"

Qu Yiling gave Chen Fan a thumbs up directly.

Xiang Qinqin hugged Chen Fan and kissed his cheek.

Xu Xintong and Chen Ti nodded one after another.

They felt ashamed of their previous thoughts.

Cheng Ruofei said, "Um, I want to know, doesn't that mean this so-called insect killer killed the wrong person?"

Chen Fan said, "Did I say this old man was a good person? What, a bad person does one good deed, and they are a good person?"

Holy shit.

Instantly, the people in the live stream and the observation room felt their scalps go numb.

Damn, this is too scary.

No one knows what the book is actually about, but at least Chen Fan reads it very seriously. It's just that the things Chen Fan says casually always make people's scalps go numb.

People even have cold sweat on their backs.

"I'm a bit uncomfortable. I always feel like this guy Chen Fan is scolding me."

"I initially thought the old man was a bad person, but then I learned he did a good deed. But now he says you can't look at the whole picture. Who can I believe?"

"My brain cells aren't enough. Is this show this intense?"

"Um, I think it should be in time for me to go knock on a wooden fish now."

At this moment, everyone looked at Chen Fan. Chen Fan said, "I'm just telling the truth. Whether the old man is a good person or a bad person, who among you can judge? Is it you few viewers judging, or is it that so-called murderer judging?"

"'Hero'—using your so-called morality to demand things from others. Honestly, what you've done is really meaningless. What, do you feel like you've seen you did something wrong now, and you regret it?"

"Cutting off the tongue—isn't the purpose because you felt this old man was bad-mouthing others and causing an impact on some people?"

Chen Fan didn't look at the screen, but every word was like a magic sound, falling into the ears of the audience bit by bit.

Brainwashing activated.

This is the new skill Chen Fan acquired: the ability of pyramid schemes.

Previous skills had already made Chen Fan start to gradually believe in the terrifying nature of these skills.

The most powerful one is that God of Gamblers skill, which Chen Fan also uses frequently.

Chen Fan bets that this person will watch the live stream, bets that this person will listen to his words seriously.

So Chen Fan started a new skill, trying to use his words to brainwash.

Brainwashing, pyramid schemes—they can turn people into bad people, but at the same time, they can also turn people into good people.

Li Tian rushed into the room and said happily, "Chen Fan, the person has been caught. We just got back and pinned him down. Until now, he doesn't know what's going on... Holy shit, what happened?"

When Li Tian rushed into the room, he discovered something wrong. In the room, many people were dumbfounded, their eyes a bit blurry, staring at Chen Fan.

Even the strong-willed Qu Yiling was stunned on the spot at this moment.

Following Chen Fan's rhythm, she clapped.

Yes, just clapping.

"So, whether the old man is a good person, is it up to you, or up to me, or up to you viewers?"

"If you understand, applaud."

In the room, applause thundered.

The audience watching the live stream at this moment subconsciously reached out and clapped.

No, wait, hold on, holy shit, this is too scary. What's going on? Aren't I just watching a variety show? How could I follow along and clap? Damn.

This guy, doesn't he know a thing or two?

"If you were given a choice, would you believe he is a good person, or believe he is a bad person? If you understand, applaud."
