After communicating with the witness, Richard learned about the witness's concerns.

Under Kilgrave's control, this witness did many ridiculous things that went against common sense, such as Landlords and the Human Centipede. She has a lot of talent in literature and art, and role-playing is even more common. Her personality and dignity were seriously damaged under Kilgrave's control.

In search of excitement and happiness, Kilgrave made those he manipulated do many unspeakable things. Even now that Kilgrave is dead, witnesses are reluctant to testify out of concern for their own reputations.

Lawyers can ask the court to issue subpoenas for enforcement, but the witness's testimony in court is his or her own. Whether the witness is willing to cooperate or not is completely different.

Richard said softly: "Madam, I know this is unfair to you, and I also know it makes you very embarrassed. But the summons from the court is a foregone conclusion, and you will inevitably appear in court. I express my condolences for your experience. Sympathy, but I hope you can help Jessica. She has also been manipulated by Kilgrave. Can you just watch her be wrongly imprisoned?"

"Detective, you killed Kilgrave, and I thank you. However, I hope you understand that I still have a life to live, and if what happened to me is exposed, I don't know how I will behave in the future. "

Matt said: "Ma'am, I will protect you, please believe me, I will not push one person to the abyss to save another person."

Richard then said to Matt: "Madam, even if the court does not summon you to testify, do you think that your manipulation by Kilgrave will not be exposed? Jessica's trial is a high-profile event. All tidbits about this case can hardly escape the eyes of reporters, and media speculation is often more terrifying than the facts."

Seeing that the lady's expression was relaxed, Richard quickly continued: "You should stand up and tell your story. You are a victim under Kilgrave's manipulation. Only when Kilgrave's evil is exposed to the world will people People will understand you only if they sympathize with you. Whether you testify or not, your life has been changed by Kilgrave. Why not take advantage of now, stand up bravely, and choose your own future direction."

Seeing that the lady was still hesitant, Richard stood up, walked to the lady and squatted down. He looked into the lady's eyes at close range and said, "I love Jessica, and she loves me too. I think, You also have someone you love. The person in front of you now is not a super cop in New York or a detective from the Justice League. I am just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who comes for love. Madam, you no longer have a descendant. Lou, in this situation, I beg you, help Jessica, help me. Let Jessica be cleared of her crimes and let Kilgrave be judged for his crimes."

Looking into Richard's eyes, the lady sighed and closed her eyes.

"Detective, Mr. Murdoch, please leave first and give me some time to think about it."

When Richard was about to speak, Matt grabbed Richard's shoulder and said to the lady: "Okay, madam, you have my phone number. Let's say goodbye first."

Richard and Matt left the lady's house. Outside the house, Richard frowned and asked, "Why stop me? She's about to agree."

Matt smiled and said, "Detective, believe me, she has said yes."

A week later, Jessica's trial began.

Richard stood on the witness stand. He looked at Matt Murdock coming towards him and exhaled softly. He braced himself and got ready.

Matt: "Detective, you have experienced the entire process of the case. Please state what happened at the scene."

Richard: "At about three o'clock in the afternoon, I received a text message asking for help from Jessica, and then I went to Hell's Kitchen, where I met Jessica and Kilgrave. Kilgrave was controlling Jesse. Ka attacked me, and I ended up killing Kilgrave with a bomb."

Matt: "Three o'clock in the afternoon, how did you determine this time?"

Richard: "I happened to be investigating a terrorist attack case."

The prosecution lawyer suddenly stood up and interrupted Richard.

Prosecution lawyer: "I object. What he said has nothing to do with this case."

Matt: "Your Honor, this is to establish the veracity of what Detective Long said."

Judge: "The objection is invalid. Witnesses please continue."

Richard: "I arrested the terrorist before the terrorist attack. Since the terrorist attack was at three o'clock in the afternoon, I can determine that the time I went to Hell's Kitchen was probably around three o'clock in the afternoon."

Matt: "As New York City's supercop, Detective Lang serves as the vanguard of counter-terrorism missions for New York"

Prosecution lawyer: "I object that this has nothing to do with this case."

Judge: "The objection is valid."

Matt: "Detective, as a superhero, why did Sister Jones ask you for help?"

Richard: "Kilgrave manipulated her, and she couldn't escape Kilgrave's control."

Matt: "So, everything Sister Jones did was done under Kilgrave's control."

Richard: "Yes."

Matt picked up a cell phone from the table, which he measured and brought to the judge's table.

Matt: "Thank you. I believe that Detective Long's professionalism and ability can make a correct judgment. This is Sister Jessica's mobile phone, and on the phone are the text messages she sent to Detective Long."

Matt took the phone from the judge and displayed its contents in front of the jury.

Matt: "What on earth can make a superhero so hasty? What kind of threat can make a superhero so helpless? It is difficult to find physical evidence of Kilgrave's ability, but in this case, it is difficult to judge the truth or falsehood." It's not difficult. I don't believe anyone would want a New York City superhero to be wrongfully imprisoned."

Matt sat back at the attorney's table.

After the judge signaled, the prosecution lawyer walked up to Richard.

Prosecution lawyer: "Detective, may I ask Sister Jones if she is your lover?"

Matt: "My objection has nothing to do with this case."

Judge: “The objection is invalid.”

Richard: "Yes."

Prosecutor: "So do you have any grudge against Kilgrave?"

Richard: "Yes."

Prosecutor's lawyer: "If Kilgrave can control Sister Jones, why can't he control you?"

Richard glanced at Matt, but Matt was blind and he couldn't receive any cues from Matt.

Richard: "I don't know."

Prosecution lawyer: "Do you have any direct evidence to prove that Kilgrave has the ability to manipulate others?"

Richard had a bad premonition, and he couldn't help but doubt Matt's ability. The questions raised by the prosecutor's lawyer were heartbreaking, but Matt had never communicated with Richard. Richard was a police detective, not a lawyer, so he could only answer passively.

Richard: "No."
