CHAPTER 552: CHAPTER 539: WHO WAS IT THAT KILLED ME? (5K-WORD CHAPTER)

...

Nan Zhubin is indeed about to end all this.

"The defendant Wang Zhenhai finally fits the symptoms of Paranoid Personality Disorder, which are hypersensitivity to stimuli and overreaction. After our victim Nan Zhihao reported to the police, Wang Zhenhai chose to ’spread synthesized obscene videos’ as an unplanned retaliatory act, which is a typical overreaction. This reaction ultimately led to his own arrest, as well as the entire gang’s capture."

Nan Zhubin raised his head and said: "With Antisocial Personality Disorder as the background color, the Sadistic Personality Trait, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and Paranoid Personality Disorder are all concepts from Abnormal Psychology."

Wang Zhenhai suddenly looked again at the defense lawyer, clearly hoping he would do something.

The stigmatization of cultural-specific terms started exerting its power once more. The word "abnormal" in Abnormal Psychology actually means "deviating from the norm," but certain conventional colloquial expressions might inevitably remind people of particularly offensive places.

There seemed to be some commotion in the audience.

Nan Zhubin seemed unaware. His explanation was directed at the judge, but at the moment, his body seemed to be oriented towards Wang Zhenhai.

As if he was also directly conversing with Wang Zhenhai.

Nan Zhubin began his final statement: "Wang Zhenhai is indeed an information engineering talent above average level; the brief success of his early work might have triggered his own narcissistic trait. His initial entrepreneurship, under the boon of the industry’s era, led to capital accumulation, which then aggravated his narcissism to the level of a personality disorder."

"Ultimately, this led him to misjudge his own abilities, and overestimate his understanding of the industry, which led to his eventual failure at work."

"In the face of real-world failures and narcissism at the level of personality disorder, Wang Zhenhai’s ’antisocial’ and ’paranoid’ traits were also triggered. He attributed his failures externally, believing that society’s targeting led to his downfall, and thus began to retaliate against society. In the process of retaliating against society, his ’paranoia’ aggravated to the level of a personality disorder, and ’antisocial’ extended to the trait of ’sadistic.’"

"Sadism made him indulge in mental manipulation, and he derived pleasure from mentally tormenting the victim. Narcissism let him further obtain satisfaction from power in this process, and also washed away his previous feelings of frustration from failing at proper work. Paranoia made him sink deeper into this fraudulent criminal behavior."

"Until eventually, our victim Nan Zhihao appeared. Nan Zhihao initially pretended to cooperate with Wang Zhenhai’s team, using words and actions to cooperate with the fraudulent gang’s criminal acts. During this process, he went to the police station, ultimately providing important information to the public security comrades."

"This action challenged Wang Zhenhai’s narcissism, causing him to feel frustrated once more. Paranoia made Wang Zhenhai overreact to this frustration, and ultimately, with the accumulation of sadistic traits, he chose the most damaging form of retaliation against our victim Nan Zhihao."

The judge stopped himself from speaking; there was no need for the defense lawyer to call for objections, as he himself felt that Nan Zhubin’s statement was a bit too aggressive.

But upon careful consideration, it seemed Nan Zhubin did not mix any personal emotions; he was speaking purely objective professional terms and analysis.

Nan Zhubin concluded: "We submit evidence to prove that Wang Zhenhai may have had a certain tendency towards mental abnormality since the beginning of his work. After being deceived, he completely became a psychiatric patient and began criminal work."

"His condition worsened and became more complicated during the criminal process, ultimately leading to him being provoked by our witness Nan Zhihao, losing his rationality and retaliating, resulting in capture."

At this point, Nan Zhubin slightly turned his body, seemingly wanting to see someone at the back; but immediately, as if apprehensive of something, he restored his posture.

Nan Zhubin continued: "However, Wang Zhenhai’s condition does not fit ’mental illness’ in the sense of criminal law, but is Non-psychotic Mental Disorder, not only having complete criminal responsibility ability but also holding significant subjective malice."

"We believe that he should receive a heavy sentence!"

...

Arriving at this point.

Nan Zhubin instead no longer mentions the previous "technical director," "hidden accounts," and such things.

He seems to be obsessed with his own professional field, lost track of time and space, fixated on "mental illness" to the point of losing reason.

Nan Zhubin indeed does not wish to bring these up again.

He hopes Wang Zhenhai would reveal them himself.

Nan Zhubin is certain that Wang Zhenhai is absolutely concealing something, and he fully trusts his Micro-expression Analysis skill.

When Wang Zhenhai mentioned accounts and technical matters, he consistently exhibited ’pleasure.’

It was akin to the delight of a rat in a gutter, sizing up its stolen and stored cheese in dim light.

This person is concealing something—Nan Zhubin is convinced.

This person is very restrained, very cunning, a person with strong self-control—Nan Zhubin immediately concluded this.

After all, Wang Zhenhai is an Advanced intellectual and engaged in a technically sophisticated scam.

When dealing with such a person, if you want to KO him in court, you can only make him—lose control.

Everything Nan Zhubin said before served this purpose.

In some sense, this Wang Zhenhai and Nan Zhihao are rather alike.

They both have unrealistic fantasies about their own image and both faced unexpected challenges to their Ideal Self due to real environmental circumstances.
