In the name of love

He rolled his eyes.

No matter who the boy accused of being a criminal for whatever reason, it would be the worst possible outcome for that person.

"What about the defender? Do you agree to the prosecutor's temporary subpoena of the victim as a witness?" Judge Zhang asked.

Yulu glanced at Ji Lan, and found that Ji Lan was also looking at him, with hesitation in those dark eyes.As far as the current situation is concerned, neither the defense nor the prosecution can produce more evidence to prove their claims.

At present, the evidence of the judges is still unclear, but as Ai Ting said, the story put forward by the defense is too tortuous, and the evidence that can be found is not sufficient. If the judges are more conservative, the probability of accepting the evidence is much lower.

If the boy accuses Lu Xing in the end, it will of course be a great joy for the defense. With the blessing of the victim, the originally weak story will become much stronger, enough to compete with the facts of the prosecutor's prosecution.

But if, unfortunately, the boy accused Ye Chang, then it would be all over. The defense, which was already at a disadvantage, would fall into a desperate situation from now on, and I'm afraid there would be no possibility of climbing back.

Yulu feels that they are very similar to a Japanese variety show he saw on TV before. That show will spend a lot of money to buy a bunch of high-end ingredients, divide the chefs hired by the restaurant into two teams, and prepare them in detail in front of the guests. Demonstrate an exquisite dish, and then the guests will make a choice at the end, and the winner will be decided by the majority.

If you choose the dish with a large number of people, you can eat it, and those who don't choose can only go home and eat themselves.

Yulu felt that the most enjoyable part of watching that show was not the high-cholesterol food.It’s about watching the guests struggling, “Oh my God, which one should I choose~~” and “OhmyGod~ can’t I choose both?” The most classic scene of this show is the scene of suffering in hell place.

But actually in that situation, Yulu couldn't laugh at all.He felt like those guests now, torn between what to eat and what not to eat.

"Why should I arraign the victim at this time?"

Ai Ting in the prosecutor's seat suddenly spoke, as if seeing through Ji Lan's struggle, "Think about this, think about the reason you are sitting there, Lawyer Ji, Lawyer Yu."

Seeing Ji Lan, Yulu was taken aback.But what Yulu cares about is that Ai Ting counts him in. The former Ai Ting would definitely say "Think about the reason why you are sitting there, Lawyer Ji", and he is like the French fries that come with the meal. It exists in the collocation of every set meal, but none of the set meals will be called 'French Fries Set'.

He was suddenly moved by the fact that he was recognized as a lawyer.

Yulu vaguely feels that even if the case is unfortunately lost in the end, even if it ends in the end, he will not be able to fulfill his promise to bring Ye Chang home after all.But from now on, sitting in this position, he will no longer just sleep, or repeat mechanically: "as stated in the defense statement".

He was able to bring more people home, he was able to hold his chest high and take pride in what he did.

He also understood what Ai Ting meant. At this moment when the prosecution had an advantage, Ai Ting still made an exception to interrogate the victim, which was tantamount to causing trouble for himself.As with the defense, Ai Ting also took on the risk that the victim might accuse someone other than Ye Chang of being the murderer.

Ai Ting is aware of these risks, but still chooses to pursue the root cause.Yulu believes that it is because this person is confident in his prosecution, but Yulu can only say that he is in awe of this spirit of thorough pursuit of "answers".

Yulu saw that Ji Lan straightened up, her beautiful eyes stared at Ai Ting who was sitting across from her, obviously thinking the same thing as him.

"In court, the defense also agreed to the prosecution calling the victim as a witness."

Ji Lan bowed in place, "I'm sorry for the court."

The interpreter assisted the bailiff to adjust the microphone in court, turned on the loudspeaker in front of the testimony stand, and asked the people in the information room to adjust the volume.Yulu has been a lawyer for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a situation of using an isolated interrogation room.

While waiting, Yulu looked at the witness preparation room with the door closed.He didn't know if Ricky had left. After this farewell, the next time we meet, I'm afraid he will be in heaven, or maybe he will go to hell, so that he will never see that boy again.

Yulu clasped his hands and fingers, and exchanged his thighs uneasily.While flipping through the files on the table, Ji Lan glanced at him sideways, but didn't say anything.

"The victim was accompanied by a social worker and his mother and was ready."

The clerk hung up the phone to communicate with the isolation room and reported to the judge's bench at the back.Yulu watched Ai Ting stand up from the prosecution stand, adjusted his tie, and walked to the witness stand.

"Prosecutor, you can start questioning the victim." The old judge started with a calm tone.

Ai Ting put his hands on the testimony stand, as if someone was there, "Witness, can you hear me?"

There was a loud mechanical sound from the broadcaster, and there was no sound for a long time.Yulu was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and Ai Ting didn't seem to be relaxed, so he asked again, "Witness?"

The broadcaster let out a slight hiss, "...um." Finally, there was a response.

Yulu saw Ji Lan interlocking her fingers and staring at the broadcaster in front of Ai Ting with full concentration.Ai Ting seemed to be relieved when he got the response, and he asked further: "Witness, how old are you?" His tone was rarely softened.

The announcer paused again. "...I am nine years old, um, no, I am ten years old."

The electronic voice has a very low degree of recognition, which is quite different from the voice Yulu heard Xiaoxin at Ms. Wu's house before, but the tone can still be heard as a child's voice.Xiaoxin still seemed a little scared, even his voice trembled a little.

"Have you watched the court session just now? The social worker should have explained it to you. Please don't mention your name or your mother's name. Do you understand?"

Ai Ting seemed to be trying very hard to make his tone less severe, but he was probably used to yelling, and it sounded awkward.

"What about the father's name?" Xiaoxin asked.

"Father can't, anyway, don't mention anyone's name." Ai Ting was patient.

"Okay." Xiaoxin responded obediently, and Yulu watched many people in the court smile at him.

Ai Ting asked again, "Do you know what you should do now? Have you seen how the court works?"

The broadcaster hesitated for a moment, "Mom said, I just need to answer your question, Grandpa."

Yulu couldn't help covering her lips with a "poof". Based on Ai Cao's age, Ai Ting is at least over 50 years old, but because of her fitness and maintenance, she is still a popular single parent in the court Dad, anyone who has seen Ai Ting's abdominal muscles should respectfully call him "Big Brother".

Sure enough, Ai Ting looked a little hurt, and he coughed quickly.

"Well, you answer uncle's questions carefully, and you answer whatever uncle asks, do you understand that?"

"Understood." Xiao Xin said again, his tone still a little apprehensive.

Yulu looked at Ai Ting and pondered for a while, he was really afraid that Ai Ting would ask right away: "Who is the prisoner who raped you?" 'This court will be over in an instant.But as expected, even Ai Ting couldn't go straight in so sharply.

"Witness, who do you usually hang out with?" Ai Ting asked.

Xiao Xin didn't answer for a while, "...are you asking me?"

"Yes, you are a witness now. When I mentioned the word witness, I meant you. Please pay attention." Ai Ting's eyebrows were so drawn that they almost broke.

"Well, I usually, usually play by myself." Xiao Xin seemed to shrink back.

"Don't you have any friends?" Ai Ting asked.

"Yes, at the school. And the neighbors."

"Won't you play with them?"

"At school, but, but at home, I'm alone. When my mother is with me, I'm alone."

"Why? You don't invite friends to your house?"

"No, because mother forbids it." Xiao Xin said with a bit of complaint.

Yulu can understand that no mother would want her son's classmates to see the kind of home that is covered with court seals.

"Have you made any new friends recently?" Ai Ting asked again.

"School?" Xiao Xin asked back.

"Anywhere." Yulu felt that Ai Ting's patience was about to be worn out.

"Recently we have to move, and my mother said that I will change to a new school, so I don't dare to make new friends, because I always feel sad. I moved once before, and my friends in the old school ignore me now. gone."

"What about the activity center? You often go to the youth activity center near your home, right?" Ai Ting asked.

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the radio.Yulu thought that the place name "Youth Activity Center" should somewhat arouse Xiaoxin's wariness. Children are very sensitive and know what adults are going to ask him.

"Did you make any friends at that activity center?"

Since the other end hadn't answered for too long, Ai Ting could only ask tentatively.

There was another burst of noise from the broadcaster, "...well, yes."

Yulu saw that Ji Lan straightened up, her injured eyes were abnormally focused, as if she was afraid of missing a word.

"What kind of person? Your friend?"

The broadcaster was quiet for a while, and there were faint whispers. It seemed that the social worker or Ms. Wu was talking to Xiaoxin on the other end.

"...I don't want to say it." It took a long while for Xiaoxin's voice to come out vaguely.

"I have to say, this is not a chat, you are testifying now. Every citizen has the obligation to be a witness in court, and your situation does not meet the
