三十九
休西斯真的对这个小姑娘叹为观止，如此之狡猾与沉着冷静，就这样抓住时机，轻而易举在法庭上击败了控方和陪审团，为自己成功开脱，然后昂首阔步走出法庭。如果这次不是米切尔请来了鹿鸣探组，如果不是鹿鸣探组的两名女探员，成功从心理防线撕开口子，先后获得了雅荻和杰娜的信任，这个案子真不知道能不能破？而这个小魔鬼又会不会再次杀人？
休西斯叹了一口气，问道，“Jenna, I believe you're telling the truth this time. I just don't get it. You're so young, do you really think up all this crap on your own? （杰娜，我相信你这次说的都是真话。我只是想不明白，你小小年纪，这些鬼主意真是你一个人想出来的吗？）”
“Officer Heucis, you don't suspect that I have an instigator behind me? No, really not. If I had to find such a person, it would be my so-called father. Deliland's trampling and insults forced me to learn early to protect myself in the most extreme ways. At the same time, I enjoyed the almost brutal counterattack as never before. I found myself reveling in the pleasure, discovering that I had the means to control other people's lives. I turned out to be one of those fairy tale demons, the witch who uses her tricks to subdue people.
（休西斯警官，你不会在怀疑我背后还有个出主意的教唆犯吧？没有，真的没有。如果说一定要找出这样一个人，那就是我那个所谓的父亲。德里兰对我的践踏和侮辱，逼着我早早学会了，用最极端的手段保护好自己。同时，我在这种近乎残忍的反击里，享受到了前所未有的那种快感。我发现自己沉醉在这种快感里，发现了自己完全可以用手段控制别人的生命。我原来就是童话世界里的那种恶魔，那个用手段制服别人的女巫。）”
审讯结束了，杰娜被暂时羁押起来，等待法庭的裁决。
她在被送走的时候，很平静地对千里寻真说，“Don't worry, sister, I will take good care of myself, never do stupid things again. I remember what you said, don't let the devil in your heart become your master. When you exorcise the evil in your heart, your soul will become pure, and you can see the beautiful world with bright eyes. （放心吧，千里姐姐，我会照顾好自己，再也不会做傻事。我记住了你的话，不要让心里的魔鬼成为自己的主宰。当你驱散心头魔鬼之后，你的灵魂才会变得纯净，才可以用明亮的眼睛，去看美好的世界。）”
警方又重新与同案犯的罪名，提审了雅荻。这次雅荻，也没有再继续哭闹和百般抵赖，而是如实交代了后面三次自己参与犯罪的真实过程。两个人的交代，无差别的符合，剩下就是等待法庭的最后裁决了。
在法庭开庭之前，千里寻真递交了一份申请，要求担任杰娜的辩护人。鉴于杰娜的监护人，没有为她提供辩护律师，法庭本来打算指定辩护律师。看到千里寻真的申请，顺水推舟接受了她的申请。
案子开庭的时候，克利夫兰地方法院旁听席上座无虚席。鹿鸣带着探组成员，坐在证人席上，只有千里寻真坐在了被告辩护席。担任主控的，是代表克利夫兰警察局的休西斯警官。
休西斯详细陈述了五桩男童遇害案的全过程，当然这样详尽的细节，源于杰娜的如实自供。在陈述的过程里，法庭内肃然无声，几乎每一个人都被这部残忍而随意的掳杀震撼，更无法想象这是一个10岁和一个13岁女童的手笔。
休西斯在陈述的最后，非常客观地说一番话。
“Your Honor, the jury members of the jury. I have to admit that this murder was not solved by the police, although it was thanks to the efforts of the Deer Rumbling detection team specially employed by Scotland Yard, but it was Jenna's surrender and confession. Under the efforts of lu Ming probing group female detective Li Search true and Meng Xiaoyun, they successfully found two criminal suspects, not only belong to underage girls and girls, and in the brutal domestic violence and domestic sexual assault. It was such childhood experiences that severely distorted their souls and left them with varying degrees of mental illness. It was the two outstanding female detectives who found them in time and successfully guided them to turn themselves in to the police. Based on this, I, on behalf of the controlling party, suggest that the court consider it at its discretion.
（尊敬的大法官，陪审团各位陪审员。我不得不承认，这起系列杀人案，并不是警方侦破的，虽然得益于苏格兰场特聘的鹿鸣探组的努力，但是最终还是杰娜的自首和自供。在鹿鸣探组女探员千里寻真和孟晓云的努力下，她们成功地发现了两名犯罪嫌疑人，不仅属于未成年的女童和少女，而且在遭受着惨无人道的家暴和家庭性侵。正是这样的童年遭遇，严重扭曲了她们的灵魂，使她们患有不同程度的心理疾病。正是两位杰出女探员及时发现，并成功引导，让她们向警方主动投案自首。基于此，本人仅代表主控方，建议法庭酌情考虑。）”
刚才肃静的法庭，顿时哗然一片，人们完全无法想象，在男童被害案的被害，竟然隐藏着如此隐情。人们愤怒地要求立刻对家庭性侵的犯罪者，加以严厉制裁。法庭不得不数次发出警告，并告诉公众，关于性侵案的罪犯，已经被拘留，择日另行审判。
休西斯完成主控发言之后，千里寻真站了起来。
“Honorable Judge, jury members of the jury, I am here to defend the defendant jenna. Please note, I'm not pleading not guilty, I'm pleading guilty. I'm defending the defendant as a caretaker, because the defendant is guilty of premeditated murder of five young boys. It was clearly sinful, an irrefutable crime. However, I invite the Tribunal to consider the following important issues. （尊敬的法官，陪审团各位陪审员，我作为被告杰娜的辩护人，在这里为被告人做出辩护。请注意，我所做的不是无罪辩护，而是有罪辩护。我之所以要为被告做照顾辩护，是因为被告的确是有罪的，她有预谋实施了五起男童虐杀。这显然是有罪的，无可辩驳的犯罪。但是，我请法庭考虑以下几个重要问题。）”
千里寻真站在那里竖起对一个手指，然后阐述了一个重要事实。五起案子都是杰娜自首后的自供，这充分说明了一种重要的态度，那就是被告已经充分认识到了自己的犯罪行为。这一点是法庭量刑和陪审团做出裁决的重要参考。
千里寻真又竖起第二根手指，说明了第二个同样非常重要的事实。
“Your Honor and members of the jury, please see that the defendant standing in the dock is nothing more than a 10-year-old girl, a complete minor. According to English law, if a child commits a crime under the age of 13, he or she does not bear judicial responsibility, but his or her legal guardian should bear the necessary punishment. So, do you know who Jenna's legal guardian is? The man the court just declared to have sexually assaulted Jenna, her supposed father Delilan.
（尊敬的法官和各位陪审员，请大家看清站在被告席上的这位被告，她只不过是个10周岁的女童，一个完全的未成年。按照英国法律，不满13岁的儿童犯罪，并不承担司法责任，而是要由他的法律监护人承担必要的处罚。那么，你们知道杰娜的法律监护人是谁吗？就是法庭刚才宣布的对杰娜实施性侵的罪犯，她所谓的父亲德里兰。）”
法庭上再度哗然，人们发出怒吼，千里寻真成功地激发了人的良知，以及同情弱小的本性。
当法庭重新安静下来之后，千里寻真竖起第三根手指，面对听众席，陈述了另一个重要事实。那就是在开庭之前，已经将两个未成年被告，送到伦敦的高级精神病鉴定所，做了一次严格认真的司法鉴定。结论是杰娜患有严重的精神障碍，无法对自己的行为做出主观控制。雅荻患有轻度精神障碍，不能对主观行为完全控制。
“Your Honor, members of the jury, as I stated above, it is already clear that neither the alleged principal offender, Jana, nor the alleged accomplice, Yadi, is fully capable of criminal responsibility. We therefore request the court to give full consideration to exempt or substantially reduce the criminal penalties imposed on the two defendants. （尊敬的法官，各位陪审员，我上面陈述的事实，其实已经很清楚，所谓的主犯杰娜和从犯雅荻，都不具备完全刑事责任能力。故而请求法庭充分考虑，免予，或者大幅度减轻对两被告的刑事处罚。）”
