"I don't know," he shrugged. "It's just that one morning I went to work and his resignation letter was on my desk."

"No reason?"

"No reason."

"Then let me tell you why." Casey stood up, walked to Vincent, leaned on the table with one hand, and rested the other on the back of his chair. The inquirer felt the pressure, "because you raped him."

Vincent laughed out loud: "Officer, I don't know what he told you, or what you misunderstood. But in fact, it was just a hearty one-night stand. The point is, you love me .”

"You love me?" Dino threw the photo of the bed sheet in front of him, "There will be so much blood in your one-night stand? Do you need GHB for your one-night stand?"

Vincent held up the photo of the bed sheet in front of his eyes, looked at it, and then smiled: "Officers, I also hope to have more communication time with you, but unfortunately, I think I need to find a lawyer. "

Beside the one-way glass outside the interrogation room, when he heard Vincent shamelessly say that it was a one-night stand between you and me, Shen Lie was ready to control the furious Auston at any time, but he didn't expect Wen Center so quickly chose to hide behind the lawyer's shield.

Shen Lie said: "It's no surprise, it's the same old saying that you want what you want. Unfortunately, we don't have enough evidence to prove that it's not what you want."

Alston said: "Based on some of my original experience in the special victims unit, Klein belongs to the kind of victim that the jury and the prosecution would like to believe. He has a low-risk high-status job, clean and clean, and has a sex life. Don't talk about confusion, he basically didn't have it before, let alone other tainted history."

"That's right, Klein is perfect as a plaintiff." Shen Lie admitted this point, but he pointed out another point sharply, "But stop playing, our defendant is also quite perfect. The CFO of a multinational company , rich and handsome. As he said just now, he doesn't need to force people into bed. The jury will think so too. And once the jury thinks so, I will prove to them that he is not perfect. And With what proof?"

Ning Yuan had been silent at first, but now he interjected: "But you can prove to the jury that even though he looked so 'perfect', he still raped Klein. There is no essential connection between the two." Yes, even if they seem so logical."

Shen Lie was thoughtful.

It can be said that Ning Yuan woke him up with a single word.

He has also accepted many rape cases before, from selective physical damage rape to ward physical damage rape, from strange rape to acquaintance rape, from statutory rape to drug rape [Note 1], basically without exception This mindset.

What kind of victim does the district attorney like?

Well-behaved, stable, and honest.Life is the same, with a stable job and a stable family, no family illness, no relationship breakdown, and no chaotic private life.Because such a victim gives the jury the impression that she or he is not going to lie, they say they were raped, and that 70% is true.

What kind of perpetrators does the local prosecutor hate?

Successful, gentleman, humorous and charismatic.Family happiness, successful career, high popularity in the community, and politics, it can be said to be quite annoying.Because such an assailant will give the jury an idea: why would such a perfect person rape others?They don't need it at all, it's not logical!

This kind of logic seems to be taken for granted, but if you think about it carefully, what is the inevitability?

Is a well-dressed successful person sure not to be psychopathic?

Is it impossible for a prostitute to be raped?

The problem facing Shen Lie now is how to strip away Vincent Osterley's sanctimonious disguise, and prove to the jury that no matter how successful, humorous, and charming he is, he is just a disgusting and despicable rapist.

Auston frowned: "But the problem now is that both the jury and the defense lawyers will question one point, which is motive. Why did Vincent Osterley rape his own defense lawyer? He has ordinary people Everything they dreamed of, wealth, social status, the respect of others... the jury will question it, and if they don’t answer the questions in their hearts, it will be difficult for them to convict Vincent.”

Ning Yuan had a flash of inspiration, and said before Shen Lie: "What the law requires is not the cause and motive, but the result. No matter what his reason and psychology are, rape is rape, and crime is crime."

"Wow," Alston raised his eyebrows, "I didn't know you knew the law, doctor."

Ning Yuan coughed lightly: "It's in your ears, it's in your ears."

Shen Lie's expression remained unchanged, and he reached out to rub Ning Yuan's hair.

Auston looked away.

If you love a dog, it's annoying.

Soon, Vincent's current lead attorney, Leon Snook, arrives.The speed was so fast that Shen Lie suspected that he came from home to the police station by plane.

The scene quickly changed to a situation where Casey, Dino, Shen Lie, Vincent and Leon were sitting opposite each other.

"This is ridiculous," Leon spread out in disbelief, "You have harassed my client over and over again, I will definitely file a complaint with you—"

"Forget it, you really scared me to death." Shen Lie rolled his eyes, "Now the problem is very clear, I suggest that your client simply confess quickly."

"Don't worry about it, prosecutor," Leon sneered. "Rape is the most difficult type of case to judge, let alone two men, let alone you have no strong evidence."

"The giant wheel of justice just turns very slowly, but it doesn't mean it stops spinning." Shen Lie said coldly, "I can sue your client once or twice, and naturally I can sue the third time. Unless I think justice has been obtained Zhang Zhang, otherwise your client will not live in peace for the rest of his life."

"Can I take this as a threat?" Leon stood up. "Would you mind saying it again for me to record?"

Shen Lie stood up without any fear, and stared into his eyes: "I don't mind at all, because what I said was what I wanted to say, and what I did was the right thing. I slept soundly at night ,And you?"
