In the name of love

It really wasn't that easy to break through his proof.

"Then, let me ask Ms. Wu one last question."

Yulu watched Ji Lan walk back to the defense bench, leaning her slender body against the back of the table.

"You just said that as soon as you walked into the toilet, you could smell a strong smell of smoke, as if someone had smoked in it, right?" Ji Lan asked.

"Yes, it is."

Ms. Wu turned her head to look at Ai Ting, seeing that Ai Ting didn't express anything in particular, she nodded cautiously.

"Then who do you think smoked inside?" Ji Lan asked.

Ms. Wu was obviously taken aback, "This, of course it's that person...that defendant..."

Ji Lan quickly raised her head, "Excuse me, the prosecutor, did the police find cigarette butts in the toilet?"

Ai Ting crossed his legs in displeasure, "No. But things like cigarette butts are likely to be thrown into the toilet and flushed away. This kind of thing is not uncommon in practical cases, and it is more likely to be brought by the defendant with a guilty conscience. He went out and threw it away, half an hour between when the defendant sexually assaulted the victim and when he was arrested by the police, he had plenty of time to destroy the evidence.”

"Leave the semen on the victim's clothes, but take out the relatively insignificant cigarette butts and throw them away? It seems that the defendant in this case is really confused and made such an obvious mistake."

"Hmph, the defendant had just done something wrong at that time, and his mind was confused, so it's only natural that he didn't think carefully."

Ai Ting said angrily.Yulu saw Ji Lan leaning forward, "Then Prosecutor Ai believes that the reason why the witness smelled cigarettes was because the defendant smoked in the toilet?" he asked.

Ai Ting snorted, "It's not that I believe it, it's the evidence that shows so."

"Please take a look at this."

Ji Lan's expression remained calm, and Yulu saw him take out a pack of opened cigarettes from behind, it was MildSeven.Yulu immediately remembered the conversation they had with Ye Chang in the detention center.

"This is one of the personal belongings that I entrusted the wife of the defendant Mr. Ye Chang, that is, Ms. Yan Yu, to retrieve from the detention center where Mr. Ye was detained. According to the records of the detention center, this pack of cigarettes was searched from Mr. Ye's right uniform pocket. , according to the regulations of the detention center, the confiscated items belong to Mr. Ye Sheng."

While talking, Ji Lan lifted the top cover of the pack of cigarettes that had been torn off, and lay the pack on its side, so that everyone including Ai Ting could see what was inside the pack.

"Everyone can clearly see that this pack of cigarettes is full. There are [-] cigarettes in total, and none of them is missing. My defendant Ye Chang told me that he was very nervous when he rushed to the toilet and wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve it. But after thinking about it later, he decided to forget it, and he put the cigarette that had reached his mouth back into the cigarette pack, and took it back into his pocket."

Ai Ting seemed to understand what Ji Lan wanted to say, and his eyes slowly widened.

Ji Lan stroked the [-] cigarettes with her fingertips, and continued: "In order to verify what the defendant said, I specially asked a private organization to test the [-] cigarettes, and I did find Mr. Ye's saliva reaction in one of them. Prove that my defendant is not lying."

He flicked a document and put it down, then leaned back against the desk and clasped his hands.

"This pack of cigarettes on Ye Chang's body, and this pack of cigarettes obviously has no trace of being smoked. Then I will ask the prosecutor again. Does the prosecutor still believe that the person who smokes in the toilet is the defendant?"

Ai Ting stood up from the prosecutor's seat, "It is very likely that the defendant has a second pack of cigarettes! It is very likely that he tried to smoke the second pack after smoking the first pack!"

"Is Prosecutor Ai planning to say that Ye Chang has two packs of cigarettes hidden on him? Where is it?" Ji Lan did not back down, "Please take a look at the search list in the detention center. I think the prosecutor also knows that Ye Chang is from the incident He was arrested by police in a nearby park almost shortly after he left the scene, he was still in his uniform and didn't have time to change."

Ji Lan slid over the words on the list with her fingertips, each word sounding.

"The structure of the uniform is like this. The upper body is a shirt. There is only one pocket on the upper right side of the shirt. Unfortunately, this pocket is very shallow. I borrowed it from Mrs. Ye once and tried it. At most, it can only fit things like key cards. things, or business cards."

Ji Lan's voice was clear and sharp, and Yulu saw that several women in the auditorium were listening attentively.

"As for the trousers, there are two pockets on the left and right sides. A key was found in the left pocket, which belongs to the activity center. I think Mr. Ye put it in it when he opened the door in the morning. The right pocket is the pack of cigarettes. I I regret to tell you that the pockets of the uniform are not large, and the possibility of stuffing another pack of cigarettes is not impossible, but that would look ridiculous, and I think most people would not choose that.”

Ai Ting looked very sullen, "It is very likely that he smoked before he went into the toilet, and that happened to be the last cigarette in his previous pack, or it may be that his colleague borrowed it from him."

"Walking into the toilet while smoking? Prosecutor Ai is not joking, do you know why guards like Mr. Ye have to hide in the toilet to smoke? That is because after the passage of the Smoking Hazard Prevention Law, public places with more than three people are prohibited Smoking is prohibited, and the guards are one of the objects of strict regulations.”

Ji Lan smiled, "If Mr. Ye really walks into the bathroom on the second floor smoking cigarettes, I'm afraid he will be dismissed by the activity center without waiting for this to happen."

"He may have had a guilty conscience after the incident and deliberately went to the convenience store to buy a new pack." Ai Ting said through gritted teeth.

"Let me remind the prosecutor that one of the cigarettes had the defendant's saliva reaction on it and the pack did not appear to be new."

"Perhaps he took out a new one, bit it, and stuffed it into an old pack. Not impossible with the defendant's cunning."

"Oh? Didn't the prosecutor just say that it's natural for the defendant to be ill-considered because he did something wrong?"

There was a puffing sound from the auditorium, and several obasans even pursed their lips and laughed.Seeing that Ai Ting was obviously enraged, Yulu slapped the prosecutor's seat.

"What about the smoke is fine! The point is the surveillance video!"

With a bang, Ai Ting erected the evidence files on the table.

"Give me a good look at the surveillance footage from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] that day! During these two hours, apart from the victim, there was only your client, and only the defendant entered and exited the toilet! So whether you smoke or commit a crime, It’s impossible to think of anyone but the accused! Got it?”

Yulu saw Ji Lan pursed her lips, showing a "caught" smile.He turned around to face the bench above.

"Dear court, after the debate just now, I think it is quite obvious that the witness smelled a strong smell of smoke when he approached the toilet. I think not only the witness, but the victim himself also gave such testimony. This means that in the At the time of the incident, someone was indeed smoking in the toilet where the incident occurred, or had just smoked."

Ji Lan shook the cigarette pack in his hand, "According to the defense's evidence, the defendant Ye Chang is obviously not the one who smoked, and the prosecutor can't deny this evidence."

"That means a very important thing: in the bathroom on the second floor at the time of the incident, another person other than the defendant was smoking in it, and the identity of this person is still unknown."

Ji Lan slapped the defense seat with a palm, and patted the thin stack of documents.

"Therefore, the defense hereby only appeals to the Junyuan Court, in the name of the presiding judge, to review the surveillance video of the restroom on the second floor of the activity center before [-] p.m., as well as the security patrol record of the second floor restroom that day, in order to clarify this matter. fact."

There was a murmur in the court, Yulu saw that Ai Ting's face turned blue, he finally understood Ji Lan's purpose, Ji Lan had complained to him before, he applied for these materials to the activity center several times, but most of them were prosecuted I have taken care of it, and the activity center always refused on the grounds of personal privacy protection.

During the trial, it is possible to apply for an investigation of evidence, and as far as the defense is concerned, it is much easier to apply for an investigation in the name of the court than through the essentially hostile prosecution.The only premise is that the judge must be convinced that this evidence is indeed necessary for investigation.

Just now, Ji Lan eloquently debated, seemingly to refute the trivial problem of "Ye Chang smokes in the toilet", but in essence, he wanted to derive this meme.And Ai Ting was obviously played around, and in the end he dug a hole and jumped in by himself. Yulu saw that Ai Ting's face was so blue that it could be used as paint.

Yulu watched the three judges on the trial bench whispering to each other, as if they were discussing the feasibility of this evidence application.Ai Ting's reaction was also quick, pressing the prosecutor's seat and standing up again.

"In court, there is no need to review the footage before 45:[-]. If, as the defense claims, someone hid inside and smoked before [-]:[-], this person must come out of the toilet before being discovered by the police, but at [-]:[-] In the surveillance footage from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], there is no picture of a third person leaving the toilet." Ai Ting said forcefully.

"The defense disputes the credibility of this fragmented footage, and we request the full surveillance footage."

Ji Lan also responded forcefully, Ai Ting really hit the table this time.

"Does the defense mean to challenge our prosecution for falsifying evidence?"

"It may not be the prosecution's problem, maybe it was tampered with from the activity center."

Ji Lan said lightly: "And if no one really entered or exited the toilet before four o'clock, it would be beneficial to the prosecution's evidence, wouldn't it? Why should the prosecutor be so repulsive?"

The white-haired judge in the middle knocked his gavel, and the two sides became quiet.Seeing that the judge had a few conversations with the young judge beside him, Yulu frowned, and was about to say something to Ji Lan.

Yulu didn't know where the impulse came from, he stood up from the defense seat,
