In the name of love

, the child is fine. " Li Fu replied in a daze.

"If anyone were going to climb up this ledge and get out through the transom, do you think it would be possible for him to do it without touching the cactus?"

"Objection! The prosecutor asked a hypothetical question, and the witness cannot know." Ji Lan gritted her teeth and raised her hand.

"Then I'll turn this question to the defender."

Ai Ting didn't wait for the judge's decision, and raised his voice to Ji Lan.

"Lawyer Ji, you said that you have done a simulation to prove that it is indeed feasible for adult males to enter and exit through the transom window, and you have also made a verification video, right?"

Ai Ting's voice was sharp and deep, "I don't think we should spend time watching the video, please tell the court, did you ever move this pot of cactus down during the simulation?"

Yulu saw Ji Lan clenched her lower lip, and it took a while before she slowly let go.His eyes wandered, as if he really didn't want to answer Ai Ting's question, but he insisted.

"Yes." Ji Lan nodded, "We were worried about damaging public property, so we asked my brother to move the cactus from the window sill at the beginning."

"Is it the beginning?" Ai Ting asked emphatically, with the corners of his lips raised, "Lawyer Ji, maybe you can explain, how did you get the injury on your foot?"

Seeing that Ji Lan closed her eyes, Yulu stroked her ankle under the bandage with her hand.

"I once tried to climb up the ledge while remaining present."

Ji Lan let out a long breath as if giving up.

"But my skill is not strong enough. The witnesses are right. That variety of cactus is indeed quite sharp. But I don't rule out that there are people who are sharper than me."

"Thank you counsel, Your Majesty, I have no further questions."

Ai Ting walked back to the prosecutor's seat and sat down.Seeing Ji Lan leaning back on the seat, Yulu's face turned slightly pale, and he knew that although Ai Ting only repaired a blockhouse just now, it was a serious blow to the defense's efforts just now.

Now the defense claims that there are other suspects other than Ye Chang, all of which are based on the foundation that "people may go in and out of the toilet without being photographed by surveillance cameras", and another possibility proposed by Ji Lan is that Access through the transom.Once this possibility is established, the scope of suspects will expand infinitely, which is also very beneficial to Ye Chang.

However, Ai Ting's question just now proved that the possibility of someone entering and exiting through the transom at the time of the incident was extremely slim.

In this way, unless Ji Lan proves that the toilet has an entrance and exit other than the transom, all the efforts just now were just fetching water from a bamboo basket, and it was all in vain when the surveillance camera only captured Ye Chang leaving alone.

There was another commotion in the courtroom. Ji Lan told the judge that he had no other questions, and sank back to his chair to meditate.The female judge on the right looked at Ai Ting and asked:

"Prosecutor, hasn't the witness you applied for arrived yet?"

Ai Ting straightened up, Yulu felt that his expression was much more relaxed than before. "If it hasn't arrived yet, forget it! The prosecution will abandon this..."

"Sorry, am I late?"

A voice came from the direction of the witness preparation room.Yulu saw that the door of the preparation room was opened, and a figure walked in quickly from the door.

Everyone in the court fell silent.Yulu saw a thin figure with short hair cut striding to the witness stand. He was wearing high-padded sneakers, jeans on the lower body, and a simple straight-grained shirt on the upper body. His hair was as uneven as a dog gnawed. Qi, seems to have been shortened in a hurry, and it is almost impossible to tell the gender at first glance.

Yulu still clearly remembers that when he and Ji Lan went to Ye Chang's home, the woman who came to greet them was an ordinary housewife who was wearing a calico dress and pinching the hem of her clothes even when she was talking.

"I'm Yan Yu, the witness summoned by the prosecutor today."

But standing in front of him now, Yulu could hardly recognize him, he looked like a young boy.

Although looking closely, she could still be seen as a woman, but the Mrs. Ye in front of her was completely different from the one Yu Lu saw at Ye Chang's house, no matter her temperament, demeanor, or tone of voice.

Ye Chang on the dock raised his head for the first time, looking at his wife with surprise.He didn't seem to recognize it for a while, staring at Mrs. Ye's dog-like short hair for a long time, he still couldn't close his mouth.

"Little..." Yulu heard him murmur.

The old judge in the middle really adjusted his reading glasses, "Are you Yan Yu? Female?"

Yulu saw Mrs. Ye stand up straight, "Yes, my gender on the ID card is female, and I am 32 years old."

The old judge looked amazed, and put down the witness's age information, "Okay, prosecutor, your witness has arrived, you can start questioning her."

Ai Ting also seemed quite surprised.Yulu saw him standing up straight in front of the prosecutor's seat, looking at Mrs. Ye who was not looking sideways for a while.Mrs. Ye doesn't even have plump breasts, and her body is slender, making her look really indistinguishable.

When I was at Ye Chang's house before, Mrs. Ye had long hair as a cover-up, coupled with the standard housewife's dress, Yulu didn't see the clues. Looking back now, Mrs. Ye must have deliberately dressed herself so "typically".Thinking of Mrs. Ye's disclosure of her past, Yulu felt somewhat clear in her heart.

Ji Lan was also quite quiet. Yulu watched him straighten up and focus on Ai Ting and Mrs. Ye in the center of the court.

"Witness, what is your relationship with the defendant Ye Chang?" Ai Ting walked around in front of Mrs. Ye for a while, and finally asked the first question.

"I am his legal spouse." Mrs. Ye replied without hesitation.

"Why are you late? Isn't the time clearly stated on the subpoena?" Ai Ting asked critically.

"Sorry, I apologize for that." Mrs. Ye said briskly, stroking her short hair that looked like fresh spring green with her hands, "As you can see, it takes a little time to cut off the eight-year-old hair. My haircutting skills have always been Not as good as my husband."

Ye Chang kept staring at his wife on the witness stand, and Ai Ting also snorted.

"Then can the witness explain why you deliberately dressed like this today?"

"I didn't dress up on purpose, this is who I am."

Mrs. Ye seemed to be waiting for Ai Ting's question and answered quickly.

"I have always looked like this, from elementary school until I graduated and joined the church. Before I married my husband Ye Chang, I didn't wear a skirt, and I couldn't wear a skirt. That would make me loathe myself and make me feel like I was something other than myself."

Mrs. Ye talked eloquently, she put one hand into the pocket of her jeans, and she stood in front of the tall Ai Ting without any hesitation.It's really hard for Yulu to associate the image in front of her with the timid woman who said "I'm hiring a lawyer for the first time, and I don't know what to say...".

Seeing Ai Ting, Yulu bowed his head and thought for a while, Mrs. Ye's behavior was obviously totally unexpected.Yulu thought that Ai Ting's perception of this woman was probably the same as theirs, thinking that Mrs. Ye was an ordinary, timid housewife who only looked after her husband.As long as he is a little intimidating in court, Ye Chang will jump out and bow down like last time.

"Your words and clothes are related to your sexuality?" Ai Ting asked subtly.

"It may or may not be related. In our circle, there are Lala who dress up like a flower, and there are iron T like me who wear skirts like I want to kill her."

Mrs. Ye shrugged, "But if the prosecutor wants to ask about my sexual orientation, then yes, before I married my husband, I was always a lesbian, which is what you call a lesbian."

She paused, and then said, "To be honest, it's the same now."

There was a commotion in the courtroom, and Mrs. Ye's appearance in this way undoubtedly aroused the interest of those reporters. Yulu saw that several reporters who were about to leave sat down again.On the contrary, the women in the back row reacted greatly. Yulu saw that they gave Mrs. Ye a curious look, and their whispering voices could be heard even from the defense bench.

Ye Chang stared at his wife intently, his eyes trembling.

"You met the defendant Ye Chang in a fellowship set up by the church to guide people's sexuality, and then married him. Am I right?" Ai Ting asked again.

"Yes." Mrs. Ye replied.

"Surely that church has turned your sex guide right so that you can like men?"

"No, no." Mrs. Ye answered very straightforwardly. "To be precise, my joining the church is just a cover. I want to show my family that I am working hard in the direction they want. At the same time, it also gives me an opportunity. It made me determined to give up my original way of life and move towards what you call a 'normal' life."

Mrs. Ye's eyes were shining brightly.

"I was a lesbian before I joined the church, I've always been a lesbian in church activities, I've been a lesbian since I left the church. I think I'll always be a lesbian until I die of old age and die in my coffin."

Yulu was overwhelmed when he heard it.He thought that if he stood in that position, he might not be able to say that kind of handsome words with his years of obsessive qualifications.

"That is to say, even after you married the defendant, you still maintained your original sexuality?"

As expected of Ai Ting, Ai Ting was not affected by the atmosphere of the scene at all, and said steadily.

"It's impossible to change your sexuality. I love my husband more than anything, but it doesn't change who I am."

"Then, did the witness have sex with the accused while married?"

"Yes, the children have given birth to two."

"The sexual behavior between the witness and the defendant was out of love?"

"Yes."

"Doesn't the witness feel contradictory?" Ai Ting couldn't help laughing, mockingly, "On the one hand, he said he was Le
