In the name of love

Now, why was the surveillance video that was supposed to be broken but still functioning as usual at the time of the incident? "

Ji Lan put down the materials in her hand, took out something like a recording pen from her pocket, and pressed the play button.

"So I asked the technician who was in charge of the maintenance of the activity center at that time, and he said that when they had nothing to do, a guard who was on duty that day volunteered that he had a lot of research on this kind of electronic equipment. , maybe the purpose of maintenance can be achieved without replacing the equipment.”

Ji Lan raised the recording pen high, and mechanical electronic sounds flowed in the court room.

'So that person offered to help? Yulu heard Ji Lan's voice.

'Yes, he said that he might be able to find a way, and their director seemed to say that he could try it at that time. Another voice that Yulu had never heard flowed out of the recorder, and Yulu thought it should be the technician talking to Ji Lan.

' So did it succeed?that person? '

'Well, he asked us to borrow his computer, and said that it is not difficult, as long as the machine has enough time to calculate.That person was still very interested in the operation, so I was very impressed. '

'Do you remember what he looked like now?Can you describe it. '

'Well, a very young man!At that time, I still wanted to say that it was not easy to have such ability at such a young age, but he said that he had been engaged in related industries before. '

'Can you recognize him from this book? 'The sound of paper flipping came from the recorder.

'Ah, it's this man!Yes, this is the person Yes, I remembered. '

'are you sure?Sorry, because this matter is very important. '

'Well, to be honest, there are not many such handsome young men among the guards. I have been doing maintenance in the activity center for so many years, and he is the first guard I left an impression on. 'The technician's voice was full of laughter.

'Because this is a recording, can you pronounce the person's name? '

'Um?Did you say the name written next to the photo? "Lu Xing", this word should be pronounced as walking...'

Ji Lan pressed the stop button and made a conclusion in the silent courtroom.

"It can be seen that it was Lu Xing, the suspect accused by the defense, who modified the surveillance video interception system. Of course, when Lu Xing first modified the system, he just wanted to help the activity center and did not foresee these scenes. One day it will become a testimony in court, and even the key to his exoneration."

Ji Lan's tone quickened slightly, "But Lu Xing is obviously very aware of the flaws of the surveillance cameras, and when Lu Xing made a big mistake and didn't know what to do, he must have thought of it."

"But what about the time?"

Ai Ting, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "How does that man named Lu Xing know the correct time to leave? There is no clock in the toilet."

"As long as you have a slightly more accurate watch, you can do it." Ji Lan showed no sign of weakness.

"Can the defense confirm that Lu Xing is wearing a watch? As far as I know, at least the defendant does not have the habit of wearing a watch when he is on duty."

"That doesn't mean that Lu Xing doesn't have the habit of wearing a watch," Ji Lan said.

Ai Ting snorted, "I thought the defense should investigate this matter before making such claims."

"It should have been the prosecution's job to rule out the possibility that someone other than the defendant was guilty."

Ji Lan said word by word, "Only if the evidence presented by the prosecution is sufficient to prove that there is no possibility of anyone other than the defendant committing the crime, the court can make a guilty verdict. Now the defense has clearly pointed out this possibility , the prosecution’s evidence is obviously insufficient, and this deficiency should not be borne by the defense.”

He stared into Ai Ting's eyes, "The defendant has been burdened with too many charges. There is no good person in this world who needs to defend himself for things he has not done. I think the prosecutor should be very clear about the connotation of this sentence." That's right."

"That also depends on the possibility raised by the defense. It is indeed possible to happen in the world."

Ai Ting also stood up from the prosecutor's seat, and Yuli could even see the sparks above the courtroom.

"I think the defense misunderstood something, my lord, and everyone here."

Ai Ting turned to the judge's seat, "The so-called possibility of no one other than the defendant committing the crime, or to be more precise, [-]% evidence of guilt, is only established under the premise of common sense. A The defendant stole something, and the prosecution only needs to prove that the defendant was the only one in the room at the time."

Yulu's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered the school flower handkerchief incident that he had told Ye Chang earlier.To be honest, Yulu is still puzzled by who stole the school flower's handkerchief.

"Even if the defense argues: No, there are other possibilities! What if a ghost walks through the wall and steals that thing? That doesn't change my burden of proof. I don't need to prove that there is no common sense Strive for things that might exist 'really don't exist'."

Ji Lan opened his mouth as if to say something, but Ai Ting cut him off again.

"What's more, even if everything the defense said really happened: Lu Xing happened to enter the toilet where the crime happened before the three o'clock that the prosecution did not check, Ye Chang happened to not find Lu Xing in the toilet, and the boy happened to be in the toilet Lu Xing was stunned in front of him, and Lu Xing happened to know the flaws in the surveillance video, and happened to leave the toilet at the minute of the transition—even if all the above assumptions are true, it will not change a thing."

Ai Ting said "coincidentally" several times, with strong irony in his tone.

"—That is the fact that the defendant in this case may still have committed the crime. The pile of evidence presented by the defense is nothing more than an attempt to prove that Lu Xing was in the toilet at the time of the crime, but that's all."

Ai Ting said emphatically.

"As the defendant's colleague, Lu Xing witnessed the astonishing scene in the toilet and fled out of fear. On the way, he met another colleague Li Fu who also witnessed the scene, so he rushed to inform the victim's mother. The story' is not inconsistent in any way, and is rather more plausible than the defense's story."

He suddenly approached the defense stand, and walked up to Yulu who was sitting on the chair.Yulu was taken aback, but Ai Ting just lowered his head, and took the family portrait from the defense table.

"Furthermore, if Lu Xing is really the real culprit accused by the defender."

Yulu noticed that Ai Ting's eyes stopped on the "father" who was holding the little boy and smiling brightly, and his eyes suddenly revealed a little sadness.

"I don't think that the person who can sexually assault a boy is the same person who is identified as the father by the boy. The child is not as blind as the defender imagined, and being regarded as a father by a child is not as blind as the defender It's as easy as you can imagine."

Yulu looked at Ji Lan standing there with a dazed expression.This was the first time Yulu saw Ji Lan being speechless in court since the trial began, until Ai Ting quickly walked back to his prosecutor's seat.

"Forget it, I also thought it would be like this in the end."

Ai Ting sat back on the prosecutor's seat, and he seemed to be a little tired. It had been more than an hour and a half since the trial started. Not to mention the injured Ji Lan, even the judges in the seat seemed to be overwhelmed.

"So when the court was adjourned just now, the prosecution had obtained the consent of the informant. We wanted to summon a very special witness. Originally, in the case of sexual assault on women and children, this witness did not need to testify in court after going through the legal reduction procedure. Unless his testimony is not enough to clarify the truth, he should not be allowed to stand up and be hurt twice."

Seeing Ji Lan's eyes widen, Yulu knew more or less what Ai Ting was referring to.

"The prosecution requests the summoning of witness D735-2351, the victim in this case, for permission from the court."

***

The court was once again engulfed in commotion.

When interrogating the victim, especially this type of child sexual abuse case, the victim is usually interrogated first during the investigation, and under the protection of professional and trained women and children police and women and children prosecutors, the children are guided to tell the story of the incident slowly.The children's testimony will be recorded and will become evidence against the accused at the trial.

Therefore, children who have been sexually abused will not testify in court if it is not necessary.Avoid the wound being pierced repeatedly, let alone a day of healing.

"The child is already in the isolation interrogation room. I asked Ms. Wu and the social worker to go back to their home and brought him here. After the initial assessment by the social worker and the psychiatrist, his recovery is very good, and he can already speak freely. , please rest assured in court."

Ai Ting explained.

"He will see everything in the courtroom through the screen in the isolated interrogation room, and my defender and I will ask him questions directly through the microphone, so there will be no doubts about his identity being exposed."

Only then did Yulu understand why Ai Ting insisted on adjourning the court just now.He must have expected this stalemate. In terms of understanding of the incident, except for the murderer, I am afraid that no one would know better than that child.

It's just that the child... that boy named Xiaoxin has kept silent about what happened in the toilet since the incident happened, which is why the prosecution prosecuted Ye Chang based on a flimsy accusation.

Could it be that Ai Ting used some method to finally break through his little confidence room?Show him an ab dance or something?

So is the "truth" finally coming out...?Yulu couldn't help becoming nervous, as Ji Lan said, as far as this case is concerned, once the victim shows up in court, it is almost a matter of death.
