In the name of love

The female judge at the head listened attentively, without batting an eyebrow.

"Thank you, Miss Ai Cao, your Majesty, I have no problem."

Ji Lan bowed to the judge's bench, and planned to go back to the defense bench and sit down.But wormwood suddenly seemed to think of something, and stopped him.

"Ah, wait! Ji Da... No, the defender, and the court, can I add something?"

Ji Lan looked surprised, she said.

"What would the witness wish to add?"

Ai Cao hurriedly dug out her side bag from the preparation chair, rummaged through it for a while, and pulled out a piece of letter paper.

"I, I have a few letters written by those children to Brother Ye. After some children left the resettlement center, they would come back to visit us and explain their current situation. They asked me to hand over these letters to Brother Ye, but I think Brother Ye has lost his freedom now, and I can’t see him even if I want to, and now is the only time for Brother Ye to hear the contents of these letters.”

Ai Cao spread out the letter and looked at it as if asking for instructions, "Is it okay, sir?"

"Please read it, I think it will help us understand the interaction between the accused and those children."

Ji Lan rushed to the front and said that Ai Cao looked at the female judge on the right and nodded slightly, and Yulu looked at Ye Chang who was in the dock, also raised her head, as if she was ready to listen.Ai Cao cleared her throat and began to read in a soft voice.

"Dear Brother Ye Zi... Ah, I forgot to mention just now, those children are called Ye Chang Ye Zi Ge."

Ai Cao hurriedly added, Ji Lan made a "please continue" gesture, and Ai Cao lowered her head again.

'Dear leaf brother, long time no see, do you remember me? '

'I'm Yang De, um, so you don't know who I am, I'm Sammo Hung, the same Jinbao who is always asked to do two moves of Wing Chun.I remember that at that time you always looked at me and sighed, why can you raise a person like me when you obviously have nothing to eat, and where did the meat on my body grow. '

'But you will be disappointed when you see me now. I am now 180cm and weigh 61kg. Although I am not at the level of Donnie Yen, I probably have Tony Leung.I am currently working as an apprentice in a private car factory. I exercise a lot every day. My master is from the Marine Corps. '

Wormwood read in a crisp tone.

'I don't know why I suddenly want to come back here to have a look. When I stayed here before, I thought about going out all day long. If I want to leave this place where I have to compete with others for sleeping. '

'But when I think about it later, it's probably because of you!Brother Ye Zi, when I was here, I fought with other children almost every day, and the other big sisters couldn't do anything about me.But you are the only one who will pull me to the table and ask me to learn how to write when I am destroying things everywhere. '

'You told me the power of calming down someone who writes, ghosts know that this is a trick you adults use to coax children. '

’ But thanks to you, I can now write this crooked letter to you, and fill out orders for customers while working in the garage.I don't know if writing has the power to calm people's minds, but it is true that it has the power to make my ghost master praise me for the first time. '

Wormwood took a breath and continued reading.

"Sometimes I think, if I hadn't met you and brother Ye Zi, I would probably have fought with people like this for the rest of my life!"Then one day I was caught by the police, put in jail, and sent to the kind of court I often see on TV. The judge would ask me: Defendant Yang De, do you have anything else to say? '

'If it really becomes like this, brother Yezi, you will definitely cry!Because you are the one who is most worried that we will commit crimes after we leave. '

'I heard from Sister Ai that you got married later, with a beautiful older sister.To be honest, I was a little surprised when I heard it, but I also felt happy. People like Brother Ye can finally live happily like the end of a fairy tale. Take back what you said about them before. '

'I also heard that you and your wife had two children, which made me a little envious, not for you, Brother Yezi, but for those two children, because they can be Brother Yezi's children for the rest of their lives. '

'And we all know how lucky it is to be Brother Ye Zi's child. '

Ai Cao put away the letter in her hand, and read some fragments one after another. It was nothing more than some letters remembering Ye Chang and wishing Ye Chang. There was still a little childishness between the lines. Hit the floor! Brother Ye Zi.", "If you quarrel with your wife, you can consider coming to my hotel~ I will comfort you." and so on.

Finally, she folded up the letters and walked to the dock. The bailiff came forward to take the letters, checked them briefly, and put them into Ye Chang's handcuffed hands.

Yulu saw that Ye Chang's hands were trembling, staring at the letters for a long time in a daze, but he didn't dare to hold them rashly, as if the stack of letters would eat people.Finally, he closed his eyes and squeezed the letter paper tightly with his five fingers. Yulu saw him pressing the letter close to his chest.

"Thank you witness, I have no further questions."

Ji Lan walked back to the defense bench and sat down. The main cross-examination of the defense ended. Yulu felt a strange atmosphere in the courtroom, and many people were whispering in the background.

Yulu thought that most people believed that Ye Chang was guilty before they came to this hearing, especially those who came to listen after seeing the news reports, most of them had already judged before trial, and they just wanted to see how abominable the defendant was. , whether they are punished as they deserve, and so on.

But now the progress of the court makes them feel inconsistent, as if the criminal in their minds is not as evil as imagined.It's like rushing to the battlefield after being polished with weapons, with all the food and grass ready, only to find that the enemy is a group of middle-aged uncles who eat vegetarian food, chant Buddha and have incontinence. Anyone will feel a little bit lost.

Ai Ting stood up slowly in this weird atmosphere, and walked to the witness stand.

Wormwood looked a little nervous for a moment, but calmed down quickly.With her hands behind her back, she tried to keep her gaze on the judge's bench.

"Witness Ai Cao...Miss, I have a few questions for you."

Ai Ting coughed, and his face turned red instantly.Although in this tense atmosphere, Yulu still couldn't help but find it interesting. People in the court probably didn't know about their relationship, and this father-daughter confrontation was brewing under the table.

To be honest, Yulu was looking forward to hearing Ai Ting blurt out: "When are you going home to see Dad?" ' and other problems, unfortunately, with Ai Ting's level, there shouldn't be any flaws in this kind of place.

"Excuse me, Miss Ai, how many years have you known the defendant?"

Ai Cao put her hands behind her back, "Well, I started working together ten years ago, so it has been ten years."

"To be specific, how many years have you been with the defendant?" Ai Ting asked.

Ai Cao murmured, and she said cautiously: "Well... Brother Ye has been away from the resettlement center for eight years, and we have not seen each other for eight years. But in the past eight years, we have often communicated and called each other, caring Let’s take a look at the current situation of each other, it’s not that there’s no contact at all.”

Yulu saw that Ji Lan was sitting seriously at the side, clasped his hands on the defense bench, and was also listening attentively.This girl is quite alert, she presupposes the question that the prosecutor intends to break through, and she is vaccinated in her answer. Even Yuli, who is not very familiar with court debate skills, can see this.

It seems that Ai Cao is not just a silly elder sister of Tianbing, Yulu can't help but sigh, she deserves to be the daughter of the seat inspector.

"We have known each other for ten years, but we have not seen each other for eight years. In other words, you have only spent two short years with the defendant? Is that right?"

Ai Ting asked unabashedly, and Ai Cao immediately stiffened her neck to refute.

"Two years is not short! Many people decide to get married after dating for one year. As long as you have the heart, you can know a lot of things in a person in two years."

"But it is a fact that the witness and the defendant only got along for two years, and these two years did not get along day and night, but only when the witness, you have nothing to do after school, and you don't want to stay at home with your only relative, and occasionally go to the resettlement center to serve It’s not wrong to touch each other, right?”

Yulu could faintly hear Ai Ting's resentment hidden between the lines, although Ai Ting didn't even twitch his eyebrows.

Ai Cao reluctantly nodded, "That's right."

"Just two years, and a random meeting in leisure time, a stranger who may not even be a friend, is enough for the witness to determine the defendant's sexual orientation? Is that what the witness meant just now?"

"Yes. But the length of time is not an issue at all..."

Ai Cao was about to refute, but Ai Ting hated to interrupt her.

"Then may I ask the witness, during the so-called one-year relationship with the witness, did you know the defendant's sexual orientation?"

Ai Ting asked seriously, "I mean, the defendant is homosexual. To be more precise, the defendant is Homosexual, and cannot have sexual intercourse with anyone other than men based on voluntary will."

Yulu looked back at Ye Chang, and saw that he was still holding the stack of letters in his hand, his body leaned forward slightly, and his legs were shaking violently.Yulu knew that it was because of Ai Ting's merciless exposure of his sexuality, or because Ye Chang tried his best to cover up his past as a homosexual in such a public place, and tried his best to live a so-called normal married life.

Ye Chang hid his sexuality deep in a drawer for eight years.And Yulu, who has been there, knows best that the deeper this kind of thing is hidden, the more painful it will be when the drawer is pulled out.

Wormwood hesitated for a long time, her expression a little uncomfortable.

"I, I know.
