In the name of love

, I still often go to the church to help out. I know all the people in the church. That young man hasn’t been there for eight years. When I suddenly saw him, I still couldn’t recognize him. .He went to our teacher. "

Ai Ting's uneasiness was written all over his face, "Why did he go to your instructor?"

Mrs. Ye shook her head.

"I don't know. At that time, they were at the door of the individual room. There are many small classrooms like this on the third floor of the church. If the church members have any private concerns, when they want to chat with the district chief or the teacher, they will go to those classrooms. In the small classroom."

Mrs. Ye spoke slowly.

"But I paid special attention to him at that time because the young man was crying. I saw him kneeling in front of our instructor, and the priest squatted halfway, as if comforting him. I have never seen him at his age. The boy crying like that, his face was streaming tears intermittently, but most of the time he just howled dryly, like a newborn child. People can't help but wonder what happened to make the Makes a big boy cry like this..."

"When did this happen?" Ai Ting asked reluctantly.

"Around the beginning of July this year, that's when Yeats just started his summer vacation." Mrs. Ye replied, she glanced at Ye Chang who was standing in the dock out of the corner of her eye, and for the first time there was a little loneliness in her eyes.

Yulu was very emotional when he heard that, around the beginning of July, and the date of the incident was July [-]th, which means that before the incident, the young man Lu Xing went to the church for something, hugging the teacher's thigh cry bitterly.

What will happen...?Seeing that Ji Lan also lowered her head, Yulu was obviously thinking about the same thing.

At this time, a questioning voice came from the judge's bench: "Does the defense have any questions for this witness?"

Yulu saw that Ai Ting had walked back to the prosecutor's seat and sat down at some point, with a dissatisfied look on his face, knowing that he was really forced to ask a series of questions that were obviously not good for the prosecution, and it was funny I can't help feeling a little bit emotional.Unexpectedly, Ai Ting looks like the king of Yama, but he is actually quite easy to soften his heart.

Seeing Ji Lan standing up while supporting the case, he didn't go to the witness stand, but just stood up straight and faced the judge.

"In court, based on the questioning of witness Li Fu just now and the clues provided by witness Yan Yu, the defense believes that one person is involved in the case."

Ji Lan paused dramatically, "This person is the colleague of Ye Chang, the defendant in this case, Mr. Lu Xinglu."

Ai Ting seemed to want to interrupt, but Ji Lan didn't give him a chance at all. He stretched out his slender white wrist and bent a finger.

"First of all, he only worked in the morning shift that day, and stayed in the youth activity center because he was hiding from the rain. According to the testimony of the victim's mother, Ms. Wu, she met a certain guard in the atrium on the second floor and asked him to help find her. Son. And now from Li Fu's testimony, we can almost confirm that the entrusted guard is Mr. Lu Xinglu."

"Then why did Mr. Lu Xing brave the heavy rain and ran to the atrium on the second floor? This is the first fact that must be clarified."

Yulu saw Ji Lan straighten up her second finger.

"Secondly, the witness Li Fu only told Mr. Lu: 'There is a boy in the bathroom on the second floor, with blood everywhere.' Such a vague description. Most people usually I will personally go to the toilet to confirm and then report to the parents, otherwise it will be even worse to get the wrong person."

"However, not only did Lu Xing not do this, but he rushed to find Ms. Wu directly, and he clearly stated to Ms. Wu that the boy was 'falling on the ground covered in blood'. Leaving aside Lu Xing's imagination, this kind of behavior is obviously It is against common sense, and further clarification is necessary.”

Ji Lan spoke in an orderly manner, and the entire courtroom, including the judge, listened quietly to Ji Lan's elegant and gentle voice.Ji Lan quickly bent her third finger.

"Finally, according to the defense's investigation here, Mr. Lu Xing submitted his resignation letter to the activity center less than a week after the incident, and he did not show up. He faxed it through his mother. Then he went to Australia alone under the name of He went to work and study abroad, and lied to his mother that he was going there with his girlfriend who had been with him for many years."

"And from the testimony of the witness Ms. Yan Yu just now, we know that Mr. Lu Xing probably does not have a girlfriend. In fact, according to the investigation data of the defense, this Mr. Lu Xing went to Australia alone without anyone accompanying him. The reason The motivation behind fabricating such a lie is also worth exploring."

Ji Lan put one hand on the defense seat, her eyes under the lens were full of sparkling luster.

"Based on the above three reasons, the defense requests the court to summon Mr. Lu Xing as a witness and force Lu Xing to be brought to this court to clarify all the truth!"

"There's no need for that!"

Ai Ting immediately interjected, "According to the video captured by the monitor, Lu Xing was the last to arrive at the scene of the crime, even later than the victim's mother. Moreover, regarding Lu Xing's whereabouts that day, the testimony of the witness Li Fu The description is already clear enough, there is no need to call Lu Xing back from abroad."

"The surveillance video is indeed a suspicious point." Ji Lan also immediately refuted, "And I believe that the witness Lu Xing can effectively clarify this matter for us, in court."

"This is just a delaying tactic by the defense! It has been proven from the very beginning of this case that only the defense tried to confuse the public with word games and irrelevant marginal evidence, and the prosecution did not make any mistakes in collecting evidence!" Ai Ting also jumped up .

"With all due respect, if the prosecution hadn't only reviewed the surveillance video after three o'clock, today the defense would not need to rely on witnesses to restore the truth."

Ji Lan said calmly, Yulu was obviously stunned when he saw Ai Ting.

"And it doesn't do the defense any good to delay the proceedings. My client wants to go home every day and night, even if it's a day earlier. I think everyone here hopes that this lawsuit will be cleared up as soon as possible, including Ai. The prosecutor is here, in court, please check clearly."

The entire courtroom was noisy, only the three people on the judge's bench were silent.Seeing that the old judge in the middle was frowning deeply, Yulu turned his head and discussed something with the female judges and young judges on both sides.Ai Ting seemed to be still angry, he was pressing on the desk of the prosecutor's seat, he didn't know what to think, his abdominal muscles twitched because of his shortness of breath.

"The development of the case to this point, I must admit, is completely beyond the expectations of me and the other two judges."

The judge in the middle pushed his voice slowly and slowly.

"I have been in this position for 20 years, and I have tried no less than a hundred sexual assault cases, but none of them are like this. I have had two such lengthy courts, and the more they are opened, the more people get confused."

The old judge coughed twice, and continued in the quiet courtroom:

"I think every judge, including me, has an idea in his heart. It is not a bad idea to end the oral argument and make a judgment. But just now Judge Zhang said that she is very interested in the defender's ideas. It is true that this case Regardless of who the real culprit is, there are still many interesting and interesting truths that have not yet surfaced."

Both Ji Lan and Ai Ting stood up straight. The old judge seemed to have pondered for a long time, and the accompanying judges sitting on both sides looked at him until he let out a breath and reached out to touch the gavel on the judge's bench.

"It seems that this case cannot be concluded today."

The old judge looked up.

"According to the defender's application, the arraignment guard Lu Xun is a witness in this case, and he is requested to testify in court during the next oral argument."

The judge struck down the gavel.Seeing that Ji Lan's whole face lit up, Yu Lv almost jumped up and cheered, while Ai Ting's whole face darkened, and he said with a stiff neck: "In the court..." But the female judge on the right was already there He spoke before.

"So defender, do you have anything else to ask this witness? If not, the court session is coming to an end today."

Yulu watched as Ji Lan turned to the witness stand, facing Mrs. Ye who had put her hands on her lips.

"You did very well."

Ji Lan looked into Mrs. Ye's eyes, her face was full of a gentle smile for women.

"You are very brave, Ms. Yan, and I'm sure both of your children are proud of you."

Yulu saw Mrs. Ye's eyes widen, and the water in her eyes suddenly appeared.This woman who specially cut her hair short and has kept her back straight since she entered the courtroom, showing no sign of fear, had red eyes for the first time in front of the crowd, stood in front of the witness stand, pressed her nose, and did not move for a long time.

"thanks……"

Yulu vaguely heard her hoarse voice, and then realized that she had endured it for a long time.

"Thank you……"

The old judge announced his withdrawal from the court. After the three judges left from the back, the people in the auditorium immediately erupted like a pot exploded. Yulu saw that many people stayed in their seats, and they seemed to be talking about the court session just now. Several reporters ran There are also those who go out and run back, and gather in twos and threes in the corridor to argue.

Yulu saw that Sam also stood up from the auditorium, with a look on his face that was going to talk to him.He couldn't help feeling his scalp numb, and it didn't help to cover his face with two books of the Six Laws, so he had to follow Ji Lan to retreat outside the court.

Ye Chang was escorted by the bailiff and was about to leave the court, but Yulu saw Ji Lan chasing him and stopped him on the way to the remand room.

"Wait a minute, please! Let me have a few words with my client."

Ji Lan saw the hesitant look on the female bailiff escorting Ye Chang, and added: "It will take only one minute, it won't take too much time, thank you."

Seeing that Ye Chang turned around in a daze, Yulu didn't seem to recognize that this was his defense lawyer.Ji Lan looked at his
