In the name of love

laughed again,

"Just call me Xiaoli, do you like calling people old so much?"

Ji Lan's face was full of apologies, "I'm sorry, I just got used to it."

"Leave the bride at home, and the newlyweds come to such a troublesome place, is that okay?"

Ji Lan obviously didn't appreciate his jokes at all, "Senior, what should we do now? I have asked them to contact the local prosecutor's office, but they said that it was the prosecutor's order, and they can't do it until the boy is willing to have a medical examination." Let the lawyer see the defendant."

"There's nothing we can do if we can't see him now. The prosecutor is probably afraid that we will teach him something! In the eyes of those in the District Prosecutor's Office, lawyers can only teach the defendant how to lie." Yulu shrugged.

"Is there no other way?"

"It's better not to argue with the prosecution. Ye Chang's case is very dangerous. If you provoke the prosecutor, it will not be good for the parties. Just wait. When I first stepped into this line, my seniors told me that we should The biggest specialty in this line of work is waiting.”

Yulu smiled open-mindedly, and gestured across the street with his hands.

"It's not an option to wait here. How about it? Let me treat you. Let's go to the western restaurant opposite to have a meal. How about talking about this case in detail by the way?"

Ji Lan glanced at the reception desk, her long eyebrows froze for a moment, she seemed quite worried, and she finally nodded.Yulu led Ji Lan and found a window seat in the western restaurant opposite. Any lawyer in the criminal field is familiar with this western restaurant, because it is the only western restaurant within a hundred miles.

"Senior, I have always had a question."

"Question?" Yuri asked.

"Well, the senior said in the letter that Mr. Ye Chang told you that he covered the victim's mouth out of desperation because he was afraid that the boy would spread the news about him masturbating in the toilet."

"Yeah, it doesn't sound like a lie to me."

"But why? I read the dossier, and it said that the boy has not been able to talk to people normally since the incident, so who identified Mr. Ye as the murderer?"

"Oh, this one, it seems to be mainly a surveillance camera."

Yulu looked at Ji Lan who picked up the water glass and sipped, and nodded.

"There is a surveillance camera on the corridor in front of the toilet. The boy was found at around [-]:[-] p.m., and the camera captured Mr. Ye walking into the toilet at [-]:[-] p.m. Panicked, he hesitated when asked what to do in the toilet, and even wanted to run away."

Ji Lan let out a "ah", and Yulu continued: "As I said in the letter, Mr. Ye didn't dare to say what he did in the toilet, and he couldn't explain why it took him so long to go to the toilet. , so the police arrested him and transferred him as a suspect.”

Ji Lan lowered her head, leaning her knuckles on her upper lip, as if she was thinking about something.Yulu looked at his profile quietly, and spoke slowly after a while.

"Are you sure you want to take this case?"

"Huh?" Ji Lan was still in deep thought, with a dazed expression.

"This is a case of child sexual assault. This kind of case is different from the general case of assaulting women. In this society, men assaulting women are more or less tolerated. Even if it is said on the surface that rapists are hateful, in fact, most of them will imagine in their hearts that that woman How pure, how helpless, how pitiful, I get some kind of novelty pleasure from it. Therefore, the perpetrators of rape women are still considered as human beings, at most they are men with particularly strong sexual desires and shameless men.”

Yulu's expression rarely turned serious.

"But sexual abuse of young children is different. As long as anything involving the seedlings of our country is involved, it is the sanctuary of the law. Any speech that sympathizes with the perpetrator will be regarded as taboo. The perpetrator who violates young children is not a person, but a monster."

Yulu suddenly stretched out his hand and covered the back of Ji Lan's hand on her lap from under the table.

"If you speak for them, you will become a monster too, Xiao Ji Lan."

"But Mr. Ye didn't actually do it, did he?"

Ji Lan asked.Looking at the setting sun in the distance, Yulu narrowed his eyes.

"I do not know."

"do not know?"

Yulu glanced at Ji Lan's confused look, and grinned.

"I have been a lawyer for more than ten years, and I have also fought medical lawsuits for more than ten years. In my imagination, medical negligence is of course the doctor's fault. I should uphold justice and help helpless patients Fight for their rights."

"But the more cases I encounter, the more confused I become. In some cases of medical negligence, when you meet the family members, you always feel that the doctor is heinous. How can there be such an excessive hospital in the world? Like once I I received a case of an old woman who fell down the stairs. After being sent to the hospital, the old woman had a big swelling on her forehead, and she was delayed for three hours in the hospital, but no one was willing to accept her, and she died just like that.”

"what……"

Ji Lan's expression immediately became a little sad.Yulu couldn't help laughing.

"However, when the investigation court was held later, I learned a piece of news. Did you know that after the old woman fell and was injured, she was kept at home by her family for a long time! The old woman had a stroke and was a little inconvenient. She was taken care of by her son in turn. She loves to whine, and my son doesn't pay much attention to her. The old woman keeps crying and her head hurts, but no one takes her words seriously."

Ji Lan fell silent, Yulu looked at his expression, and suddenly pressed his hand.

"So what I want to say is, you have to be mentally prepared, Xiao Ji Lan."

Ji Lan was taken aback, "Mentally prepared?"

Yulu closed her eyes, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

"It's that your client is likely to be wrong."

Ji Lan opened his eyes wide. "Senior, what do you mean, Mr. Ye Chang is lying?"

But Yulu shook his head, "Except for special circumstances, very few people will deliberately lie to their lawyers. It should be said that even if they lie, they don't think they are lying."

Ji Lan's expression was a bit confused, Yulu greedily captured every slight change in that delicate facial features, imagined kissing those tightly pressed lips, prying open the guarded white teeth with the tip of her tongue, and poking into the place where no man has yet invaded. The virgin land that has passed, and then willfully entangle, plunder, control, and then swallow...

"Senior, can you promise me a request?"

Ji Lan's voice interrupted Yulu's delusions.In fact, part of the reason why Yulu didn't want to defend the rapist was that he felt that he also had the potential to become a rapist.

At least he admits that if the victim is Ji Lan at the right place and at the right time, he will really have the urge to commit a crime, even if the final result may be beyond redemption.

If he raped Ji Lan, would Ji Lan defend herself?

"What request? My night is very expensive." Yulu said with a smile.

"Can seniors arrange for me to meet Mr. Ye Chang's family?"

Yulu was a little surprised, but Ji Lan's expression was very serious.

"Senior said that Mr. Ye has a wife, a daughter who is a junior, and a son who just entered elementary school, right?"

"It can be, after all, Mrs. Ye is the client. But what can you do if you see them?" Yulu reminded: "They all stayed at home when the case happened, so it can be said that they have nothing to do with this case."

"Senior, please help me with this."

Seeing Ji Lan bowing his head and pleading, Yulu couldn't help sighing.

"I see. In fact, the case has been transferred to you in essence. I'm just acting as a lawyer to defend jointly. I will tell you Mrs. Ye's phone number and address."

"Thank you senior, I'm sorry to trouble you." Ji Lan showed a slightly apologetic smile.

"By the way, are you free next Sunday? I remember you are very interested in symphony, right? I just got two tickets for the Berlin Symphony Orchestra..."

Yulu fumbled for his suit jacket, and before he could finish his sentence, Ji Lan's cell phone rang suddenly.Seeing him glance at the screen, Yulu showed a look of surprise, even a bit of surprise.

"Hello? Jize, what's the matter?"

Ji Lan apologized to Yulu, and leaned aside to talk on the phone.Yulu heard the bold and slightly rough male voice that he heard at the wedding banquet that day from the other end of the phone.

'Hey, Xiaolan, are you busy?No?It’s fine if you don’t have one. I’m sorry, I might trouble you with something. Oops, it’s actually something my father’s friend asked me to do!Are you free right now?or tomorrow?Let's make an appointment for dinner, ah, Xiaotao said that she wants to meet Ming Nai, so it would be best if you could bring Ming Nai together...'

Yulu heard such chatter coming from the other end of the phone, Ji Lan took the phone and walked outside the restaurant, nodded while listening, and picked up a notepad to draw a few strokes.

"I see, I will take Minnay with me. So the location is..."

He vaguely heard Ji Lan replying like this.Yes, he almost forgot that this person is already married, has a wife, and has the ideal destination for a man.

Yulu withdrew his hand from his suit jacket, thought for a while, and took out a cigarette from his coat pocket, ignoring the no-smoking sign on the wall, and started puffing on the rainy scene outside the French windows.

"I'm leaving here for a while."

In the morning when he was putting on his tie in the mirror, Yuli heard Ricky talking to him.

Last night he was tossed and tossed by Yulu all night, when he woke up his almond eyes were still swollen.Seeing him rubbing his eyes while talking, Yulu couldn't help laughing, he limped back to the bed, leaned over and kissed Ricky on the forehead.

"Are you sure you can get out of this bed on your own?"

Ricky looked out of spirits, and stared at Yu slightly annoyed.
