Yu Concentrates, and smiled again at Yulu, "Almost all the evidence is on the prosecutor's side. At the time of the incident, there was Mr. Ye Chang's evidence, but now I have almost none, and the activity center refuses to let us investigate. Check surveillance tapes and guard attendance records. Now there is no other way but to use witnesses to try."

Yulu picked up the vodka and took another sip, "Well, it would be great if I could invite those two colleagues of Ye Chang to testify in court." He said.

"I called Li Fu again before the court session, but his fiancée said that he had a cold recently and didn't go to work, and asked for leave to rest at home. She was also very worried about her fiancé's condition. We made an appointment for a coffee near her home before the next week's family period. Let's meet in the hall."

You have caught someone's fiancée so quickly... Yulu couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Indeed, it is very difficult for a woman in this world to resist the pleadings of such a beautiful and noble man with a low figure. Just imagining the scene makes Yulu feel itchy. .

No, no, it's all decided to cut the thread of love with a sword, Yulu forced the delusional switch in his brain to "OFF".

"As for Lu Xing, I asked Ji Ze to contact the Ji family's branch in Australia in the name of the company, and then asked the branch to ask the Australian office to find Lu Xing in the recent Chinese entry and exit list. Lu Xing is now in Perth, Western Australia, and the office said that he left the country alone without a companion."

"No companion? Didn't you mean with your girlfriend?" Yulu was taken aback.

Ji Lan clasped her hands and put her fingers in front of her nose again, her eyes became darker, "Yes, if we can bring this person back and let him stand in court, this case will make great progress."

Before Yulu answered the call, the voice of the anchor came from the small hanging TV above the bar. I don't know who switched from the football game to the news station.What attracted Yulu was not the male anchor's deep and magnetic voice, but the content of his reading.

There was a tragic incident of child sexual assault in the west district of T City a few days ago. A 35-year-old security guard of a youth activity center took advantage of the summer vacation when the children were at home, and their parents were often unable to keep an eye on them 24 hours a day. This opportunity lured a boy under the age of ten to the toilet and raped him. "

Both Yulu and Ji Lan put down their wine glasses, Yulu saw that Ji Lan was extremely focused, staring at the news screen without even blinking.

Although we know that the case is likely to be on the news when it enters the trial stage, it is a matter of course that the trial will be judged by the public. Reporters also have manpower stationed in the local prosecutor's office and the court, and the court itself has a spokesperson.Recently, the reporter likes nothing more than this kind of sexual assault case. Several of Ji Lan's defense cases have made the news because of this.

Fortunately, the wording of the news is fairly neutral, but Yulu always feels that it is very unlike the case he knows, especially the details.But it would be foolish to ask reporters for details.

"It is reported that the suspect has had a homosexual tendency in the past and likes young and cute boys. He has a record of harassing his colleagues many times before, and he deliberately joined a Christian church near his home to hide his eyes."

"According to our reporter's interview with the head of the church where the guard participated in the church, the head said he thought the guard man was usually weird, and he often stared at other young men during fellowship, which caused resentment among the church members. Originally I wanted to refuse him to join the Rehabilitation Fellowship, but I reluctantly agreed because he was still young and could be saved.”

Seeing that the screen cuts to the interview, Yuli sees a woman in front of the camera who can only be photographed below the mouth. She really looks like the people Yuli saw in the church before.

'Do you usually think he's weird? 'The reporter's question came from the camera.

'We will not say anything about believers, basically as long as we have the heart, we will accept him based on the position of the church.So that's it, even if we find out that he has any criminal intentions, we will still try to save him based on the church's position...'

The interview was truncated midway through.To be honest, Yulu really couldn't understand where in this short answer he could draw the conclusion that "this guard man is usually weird".

The picture was brought back to the detention center, probably because the scene of the suspect being transported could not be photographed, and Yulu couldn't see what it meant to keep taking pictures of the gate of the detention center.

"The boy who was sexually assaulted is currently recuperating at home. The school also stated that the boy has taken a long leave of more than a month and is receiving psychological counseling from the Children's Sexual Assault Prevention Center. The wolf guard has now been detained by the prosecution. The boy's The mother also insisted on suing to the end. The whole case is currently being heard by the T City Court..."

The news quickly skipped to the next one, about an otter that escaped from a zoo and got stuck in a water pipe.Yulu noticed that Ji Lan seemed relieved, and took a big sip from the juice glass on the bar.

"Great, the reporter doesn't seem too interested in this case."

Yulu said jokingly, but couldn't help complaining, "But this is really annoying, what are you trying to do to trick children, it's as if Ye Chang is looking for a good wife all day long."

Yulu remembered what Ji Lan said just now, everyone is looking for an 'answer' that they are satisfied with, and what stands in court is the 'answer', not the 'truth'.

There is only one truth, and everyone who has seen Conan knows it.And there could be thousands of answers.

Thinking about it this way, journalists, lawyers, and even prosecutors or judges seem to be not far from each other. They are all just looking for an answer, an answer that best suits their own purposes.Prosecutors are proving the defendant's guilt, lawyers are proving the defendant's innocence, reporters are ratings, and judges may be the pressure to close the case.

As for Ye Chang, as for that poor ten-year-old child, Yulu suddenly felt that not so many people cared about her.

"Hey, young master, there will be a parade at my house later, I am the master, do you want to come?" Yulu was still immersed in his own thoughts, when he heard a warm greeting from the other side of the bar, "No I'll treat you badly, do you like something more exciting? Or something quieter? Ah, it's okay if your BF wants to come together, I don't care about pranks."

Yulu looked up, and there was a man with a goatee approaching their seat at some point. In all fairness, he looked pretty good, and he was showing a knowing smile to Ji Lan.

Ji Lan was at a loss when he heard it, showing a perplexed expression that tempts and commits crimes.Yulu looked back and found a bunch of eyes focused on Ji Lan, who had obviously been coveting her for a long time.

But it's all right for him to fall, anyway, his lower body has no integrity at all, if something happens to Ji Lan, he will be responsible.

"Thank you, we don't play this kind of thing. My partner is very shy." Yulu put on the demeanor of a middle-aged veteran, took advantage of Ji Lan by the way, and hurriedly pulled the bewildered Ji Lan to stand up and tie the knot account.

Ji Lan insisted on buying the order this time. Although Yulu tried to stop her, Ji Lan's attitude was as firm as in court. In the end, Yulu could only watch helplessly as Ji Lan took out the shiny gold credit card and put it in the waiter's hand. on the tray.

Yulu always felt that Ji Lan invited him out this time purely because he wanted to complete the appointment that he said before that he would invite him to dinner.

After this agreement is over, the little bit of personal friendship between him and Ji Lan may come to an end.

But after walking out of the bar, Ji Lan did not leave immediately, and even said that she would send Yulu home.It seems that the fact that his wife went out to the lady's party really made the bridegroom look very lonely, Yulu had no choice but to convince himself in his heart that he was so lonely that even he, an ugly uncle, would not be able to accompany him.

The driver of Ji's family drove the Rolls-Royce, and the night scene passed by the window covered with anti-peeping cloth.

"Actually, Ji Ze... persuaded me to give up being a lawyer."

Yulu's cramped thighs were stiff when he heard Ji Lan suddenly speak.

"Give up being a lawyer...?" Yulu was taken aback.

Ji Lan looked at the night scene outside the window. "Well, when he came last night, he said that he wants me to finish this case and stop doing this business. He has been worried about me since he saw the news last time. He said that if I continue to do this, someday It is not certain that he will be resented by anyone. He is just easy to worry about others."

He said leisurely, "He also said that the company needs an executive secretary. He just took over the position of chairman and doesn't understand a lot of things. He hopes that someone will help him. He doesn't trust outsiders, so he hopes that I can help him. Go home and inherit the family business with him. He also said that if I want it, it doesn’t matter if I am the chairman.”

Ji Lan exhaled a puff of air from the tip of his nose, Yulu saw him and smiled faintly.

"That guy, before he asked me if I wanted it, he drew a lot of blueprints without authorization. This person is always like this, and he seriously lacks planning in everything he does."

Yulu looked at Ji Lan's expression and heard his tone, and for some reason a vague idea came to his mind.But this idea is too shocking, and Yulu really dare not admit it directly.

But it was indeed the first time Yulu saw Ji Lan who was so absorbed in his own thoughts and had no defense at all.

"Then you...then will you do this? I mean, give up being a lawyer or something." Yulu asked.

Ji Lan didn't answer for a long time, and he didn't speak until the taxi approached Yulu's house.

"No, inheriting the family business and so on. I thought about it before going to Cornell. But in the end I chose the legal path. Now that I have gone on, I will not turn back casually."

Yulu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Although he noticed that Ji Lan didn't look him in the eyes when he said these words.

The car stopped at the alley of Yulu's house, Yulu grabbed the briefcase, thanked the driver, and stretched out his hand
