In the name of love

The activity center seconded the surveillance video at the entrances of all the men's restrooms on the first to fourth floors to clarify the use of the restrooms in the entire activity center that day. "

Ji Lan said, "In addition, the second suspicious point is also related to this. Didn't Mr. Ye tell the senior that he masturbated and ejaculated in that toilet? But I didn't find it in the prosecution's file. I saw the defendant’s semen among the seized items, and of course there is no comparison record of the semen sent for testing.”

This time Yulu was really surprised, "Really...?"

"Well, I think the police must not let go of the opportunity to search for evidence. The up and down of the toilet, especially the toilet where the incident happened, must have been checked by the forensics team. If no semen is found Madara, that should mean there really isn't, Mr. Ye didn't actually ejaculate there."

"Could it be that he ejaculated in the toilet and flushed it?" Yulu asked.

"I thought about it too, but I asked Mr. Ye in the morning, and he said that he masturbated by leaning against one of the walls and facing the direction of the other wall, and he also remembered that the semen was shot on the wall. And he said he remembered The toilet seat was closed back then, and he didn't have the energy to lift it up, let alone the memory of using the flusher."

Yulu heard the Susu sound of paper flipping from the other end of the phone.

"In fact, in the photos taken by the prosecution, the toilet seat on the side is also closed, and Mr. Ye Chang's fingerprints were not collected on the flush handle."

"What about cleaning? Could it be swept away by the cleaning lady?" Yulu asked.

"I checked the cleaning schedule in the youth activities. The toilets are cleaned three times a day, once at 06:30 in the morning before the center opens, once at 07:30 noon, and the last time is at 01:30 in the evening, before the center closes. I I also asked the wife who was in charge of the toilet, and she said that around [-]:[-] that day was the last time she went in to clean it."

"so……"

Yulu rubbed his chin with his hand and thought for a while.But he also really admired Ji Lan, who was able to investigate this far in such a short time.Yuli felt ashamed of himself who only investigated Ricky's body all night.

"But you don't think it's necessary for Mr. Ye to lie about this link, right?" Yulu asked.

Ji Lan said "um" again, with a firm voice, "I don't think Mr. Ye is lying, at least on the point of ejaculation, he doesn't need to give such false testimony against himself. In this way, things will become It's very strange, where did Mr. Ye Chang's semen go, and how could it disappear out of thin air?"

Yulu pondered for a while. "So, what about the third question?"

Ji Lan's tone softened a little.

"The third point is what I care about. It may not be that important. Senior, I have been thinking, if Mr. Ye Chang really did not do any sexual harm to that boy, then why did that boy wake up? , would make such an accusation?"

"Maybe it's memory confusion? After all, he was frightened, and the victim is only ten years old, isn't he?"

"Well, that's what I care about. Do you remember, old man? We had a class on the cognitive psychology of children at Cornell, and there was a section on the power of child witnesses in court."

"Ah, the professor with the upturned butt? I remember his name is Shwezherz or something... Although he is getting old, he is in good shape for a man." Yulu thought back.

"He said in class that most people think that children's memory and cognition are immature, so in principle, children under the age of 14 cannot testify like adults in court. Children do not need to take an oath reason."

Ji Lan said, "But in fact, according to most studies, although children have insufficient knowledge and experience, sometimes they may remember the details of what they have experienced better than adults. In other words, children will remember Confused or made up stories or whatever, purely adult speculation, children's testimony is sometimes more believable than treacherous adults."

"But isn't there an incident? Well, more than a dozen kindergarten children joined forces to make up stories about the teacher sexually harassing them because the teacher treated them badly."

"The predecessors are talking about the McMartin Preschool incident in California? I have read "The Defense Witness". The situation of adults rarely happens, which is exactly the opposite of the common people's cognition."

Ji Lan's voice was extremely serious.

"So I don't think it is very likely that the victimized child deliberately lied to frame Mr. Ye."

"Could it be instigated by adults? That mother told him to say something like that." Yulu asked.

"But that mother and Mr. Ye don't know each other, right? It's understandable if it's a divorce and parental rights case. In practice, many mothers want their daughters to fabricate the fact that they were sexually assaulted by their fathers in order to obtain custody. But Mr. Ye Chang didn't like that A complete stranger to this mother, she has no reason to frame him and risk her own child's reputation."

"What about insurance money or an opportunity to extort compensation?"

"If there is blackmail, the mother should have blackmailed it before filing a complaint. Sexual assault on young children is a crime, and it cannot be withdrawn once it enters the court. The mother has no bargaining chips."

"Um..."

Yulu folded her arms and sat on the bench outside the mediation room, thinking about breaking her head.

"But Ye Chang and that little Zhengtai, one of them must be lying, isn't it? ... What's the name of the little boy? It's annoying to keep calling him little boy little boy."

"The victim of sexual assault will not be named publicly. His code name is D735-2351. If seniors find it annoying, you can call him that." Ji Lan finally had a hint of a smile in her voice.

"That D73... Ah forget it, people just can't remember things when they get old. If that little Zhengtai didn't lie, it means that what Ye Chang said was not all the truth, but you just said that you believed Ye Chang?"

"Well, I trust him."

Ji Lan said it again, her tone still firm, "But when I say I believe him, I mean that I believe he doesn't intend to lie, but whether a person is lying or not is different from whether what he says is the truth. I remember Professor Sam especially emphasized this point when he mentioned witness testimony in the law of evidence, do you still remember?"

Hearing that name suddenly during the conversation, Yulu admitted that his heart skipped a beat. "Ah, oh, it seems to be."

in the name of love twelve

"The third point is what I care about. It may not be that important. Senior, I have been thinking, if Mr. Ye Chang really did not do any sexual harm to that boy, then why did that boy wake up? , would make such an accusation?"

"Maybe it's memory confusion? After all, he was frightened, and the victim is only ten years old, isn't he?"

"Well, that's what I care about. Do you remember, old man? We had a class on the cognitive psychology of children at Cornell, and there was a section on the power of child witnesses in court."

Hearing that name suddenly during the conversation, Yulu admitted that his heart skipped a beat. "Ah, oh, it seems to be."

He was ashamed to say that he always stared at Sam's face in class, and he was often fascinated by it. He didn't listen to a word of what Sam taught, and sometimes he didn't even hear the get out of class bell.Always had Sam walk up to him and rap his knuckles on his desk.

'Davis, wake up.Spring is here. ' Sam always teased him with a smile like that.

No, the heart rhythm started to mess up again.Yulu hurriedly took two shallow breaths, and closed his eyes outside the mediation room.

"I remember Sam did an experiment at that time, didn't he? Let three students go into a small room in turn, and then come out to tell the whole class what happened in it. I remember that among the students who came out to be witnesses at that time, there were One is senior." Ji Lan seemed to miss it quite a bit.

This Yulu still remembers that it was a typical psychological game of relying on the credibility of witness testimony.

Sam arranged a middle-aged actor and a six-year-old girl in a small white room. He asked the middle-aged man to sit on the edge of the bed, and the little girl sat next to him, and the middle-aged man sat on the edge of the bed. Holding the little girl's hand in one hand, while telling her a story, Yulu remembered that the content was about Little Red Riding Hood or something:

"A long time ago, in a dense forest, there lived a little girl who always wore a red dress. One day, on the way the little girl went out, a big wild wolf appeared..."

The student assigned as a witness has 1 minute to observe everything in the room, and then Sam will ask that student to come out and, in isolation from the other witnesses, verbally tell the "story" of what he saw to the class.

Yulu still remembers that when the first student came out, he said that he saw a father and daughter. The father had just come home from get off work, because there was his briefcase next to the bed. In order to meet his daughter before he fell asleep, the father even wore a suit. Haven't taken it off yet.

The relationship between father and daughter is very good. The father is holding his daughter's hand and telling him bedtime stories. The daughter looks very happy.The stuffed doll stuffed in the briefcase was exactly what a father was planning to surprise his daughter with, and the student said he expected the room to be filled with laughter.

After the second student came out, he said that he had witnessed a scene of sexual assault. A middle-aged man broke into the little girl’s home. The little girl was terrified, but because the middle-aged man told stories to appease her, the little girl was terrified.
