Chapter 60 Intertwined, then reversed (11)
The SL3 incident twelve years ago.
The drug smuggling and trafficking incident three years ago.
The attempted murder incident on Yueying Island the day before yesterday.
Ultimately, all of these are a series of tragedies caused by [drug smuggling and trafficking].
Asai Narumi sat in the dock, listening calmly to Hirata Kazuaki's speech.
Although he didn't know what Xiang Yuanguang wanted to do, but if it were him... Hirata Heming would be the biggest breakthrough.
"Xiang Yuan, did you hear that? There are two question points and one loophole in Hirata Heming's testimony just now."
"He's already upset because of what just happened. We just need to find the loophole and we can break it!"
Conan, who had hidden under the table at some point, spoke calmly. He inadvertently glanced at the crack on the table leg next to him, and a bad feeling inexplicably flashed through his heart.
(Why are the legs of the defense table cracked? Has it fallen into disrepair? It doesn’t seem very safe.)
"That's right... Hirata Heming has become so panicked that it's time to expose him."
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Xiang Yuanguang's eyes.
Boom!
The hedgehog-headed lawyer slammed the table without hesitation, and Conan under the table immediately felt dust falling.
"...?"
No, this doesn't look like dust, it's sawdust, right?
It turns out that it was you who destroyed public facilities!
"The defense requires the witness to give further testimony on the time based on the sentence [I quickly pushed open the piano room door and rushed into the room. Unexpectedly, I discovered a murder case!]"
"Excuse me, witness, at what time after the Moonlight Sonata started did you enter the Piano Room?"
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and asked thoughtfully, while Hirata Heming lowered his head and his brain, which was not very smart to begin with, started to spin rapidly.
"Uh... when the cursed piano started playing, I happened to be next to the piano room, so I pushed the door open almost instantly."
"Then, I saw Asai Narimi beating Murasawa Shuichi. He hit him hard and was about to kill him————"
Hirata Heming was still narrating in a very emotional way, and he was about to say, "Asai Narimi, you also said that you don't know martial arts."
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and interrupted.
"Wait! Witness, the "instant" you mentioned, is it the instant when the Moonlight Sonata "started"? "
What? You're asking this question?
A light bulb went off in Hirata Heming's mind. That's right, even he could find the flaws of this hedgehog-headed lawyer!
He said it with great determination and without hesitation.
"That's right! So, Asai Narimi was hiding in the piano room and trying to use music to cover up the truth of his murder!"
"Using the rumor of the [Cursed Piano] as a cover, he killed people to hide his own ulterior motives!"
"So there's no way she could have snuck into the piano room after the Moonlight Sonata started!"
Hirata Heming became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he felt that he could be compared with the famous detective Kudo Shinichi who had disappeared before.
But when he saw the smile quietly appearing on Xiang Yuanguang's lips, he couldn't help but fall silent.
The most terrifying thing in the world is that your enemy smiles after hearing what you say.
"Regarding [time], the defense also has a witness who will testify on this matter, and this testimony will completely defeat all of Hirata Heming's testimonies!"
"Therefore, the defense hereby requests the witness Nanatsuki Koshimizu to appear in court to testify on this matter!"
Xiang Yuanguang put his hands on his hips and said proudly, which shocked Prosecutor Gold.
He already knew from the detective in the detention center that Nanatsuki Koshimizu and Mitsuki Mukai had communicated with each other, but he did not expect that they would give testimony at this time.
Boom!
The coffee cup slammed down on the table, and Prosecutor Gold spoke loudly.
"Are you trying to say that you have a witness who can prove that the defendant Asai Shigemi was not in the piano room before the Moonlight Sonata started?!"
"Such a witness...why didn't the prosecutor know anything about it!?"
"Then go ask Detective Takagi! How would I know if you ask me?"
In response, Xiang Yuanguang shook his head, slapped the table, and looked at the presiding judge.
"… Let's put aside the issue of Detective Takagi's salary assessment for now."
"Now, please ask the bailiff to bring the witness Nanatsuki Koshimizu to the courtroom to testify about the time when the Moonlight Sonata was played!"
The presiding judge banged the gavel.
crunch————
The door of the courtroom was pushed open. Nanatsuki Koshimizu walked up to the witness stand. She glanced at Hirata Kamiya next to her and nodded as if she had confirmed something.
"I can prove that Miss Asai was at the sink in the bathroom before the incident. She ran away after the Moonlight Sonata started playing!"
"You, you said that Asai Narimi left after the Moonlight Sonata started!?"
Your Excellency, the presiding judge showed a look of shock, because this almost explained who the criminal in this case was!
Ulla————
Ulla————
There was also an uproar in the gallery.
In the piano room, the murderer cannot be the victim Murasawa Shuichi, so it can only be one of Asai Narimi and Hirata Kazuaki.
Compared to the beautiful Asai Narumi, Hirata Kazuaki, who started out speaking rudely and is now fabricating testimony, is more suspicious!
pat.
Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers, then turned his hand and pointed at Hirata Heming.
"Hirata Heming, your suspicion of murder has reached its highest point, and I have also found your motive."
"Next, I will refute all your testimony and use evidence to prove your guilt!"
"Sarah, come and count your sins."
(How, how could this happen?)
Hirata Heming looked at Prosecutor Gold, but saw that the prosecutor was drinking coffee as if nothing had happened.
He finally couldn't hold it anymore, and slammed his head on the table with a bang, without saying a word, his body twitching.
"...?"
The presiding judge was a little confused and was about to ask the bailiff to see what was going on when he heard a sharp explosion.
“Uh uh uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You bunch of bastard lawyers, bastard prosecutors, bastard detectives!!!”
Hirata Heming raised his head like a wounded beast and kept banging his head against the table of the testimony desk.
Then, he pounced on Nanatsuki Koshimizu who was on the other side of the testimony stand, roaring angrily.
"It's because of you bastards manipulating the Inquisition that I ended up like this!!!"
"I am going to kill you!!!"
The presiding judge was horrified and banged the gavel, but it was too late for the bailiff to stop Hirata Heming.
But at this moment, Xiang Yuanguang slammed the table and pointed at Pingtian Heming and shouted angrily.
"A pound of pear! The reason you are in this situation is ultimately because of your own criminal acts!"
"You still want to commit murder in court? Get back here!"
The verbal bomb is launched!
The wind was howling so violently that Hirata Heming was blown back in mid-air and hit hard against the fence!
"Next, I will prove Hirata Heming's crime! And, I will reveal the connection between this case and the drug smuggling and trafficking case on Yueying Island three years ago and the SL3 case twelve years ago!"
"Prove all the criminal facts in it! Redress the injustice done to Aso Keiji who died twelve years ago!"
Boom!
Xiang Yuanguang slammed the table at the defense table again, completely becoming the only protagonist and core in the courtroom.
"It just so happens that the Second Trial Chamber is retrialing the SL3 incident! It's time to merge the cases!"
"Mr. Chief Judge, it's time to move the court to the Grand Court in Tokyo and conduct a [Staggered Trial]!"
The presiding judge nodded silently, if this case really involved criminal cases from three and twelve years ago.
Well, an ordinary trial court is indeed not enough to prove the truth behind this series of cases.
He picked up the gavel and was about to knock it down.
"objection!"
crunch————
The door was pushed open.
A man in a black coat appeared, and with him was Tsukikage Island village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji.
"There is another witness in this case who has not been questioned. He can reverse the inference of this case and find the final murderer!"
The man in the black coat said a name that Xiang Yuanguang could never imagine.
"Here, I, First-Class Prosecutor Gui Yue Liu Yun, request that the victim, Murasawa Zhouqi, be allowed to testify!"
