Chapter 108 Reversal of Illumination
Chapter 108 Reversal of Illumination (8)
Gu Meimen's methods are quite despicable.
However, it must be admitted that he was indeed effective in defense.
Xiang Yuanguang watched Gu Meimen's performance without saying a word.
"What? That guy really makes me feel bad."
Next to her, Nanatsuki Koshimizu tapped the outer shell of her headphones briskly.
"Master, next time, can you please tell me the client's testimony in advance?"
"Now the limelight has been taken up by that smug weird old man."
Blinking, the hedgehog shook his head.
Once I start questioning, you’ll know who’s on the side of the storm.
He began to think about what Shirai Kengo said before he left.
([I did not use perjury, this is clearly the first-hand evidence I extracted from Shimadzu!])
(The fact that Shirai Kengo dared to say such words shows that he is not afraid of someone checking the authenticity.)
(However, surveillance records have indeed been tampered with...)
(In other words, someone modified the original surveillance records before the police retrieved them?)
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and reasoned with the information he knew about the characters and the current situation.
(First of all, the person who modified the surveillance records is most likely someone within the company...)
(The staff in charge of monitoring? Maybe. Sanyuan Shunji? Maybe too.)
(But I still suspect... it was Shimazu Sae who did it.)
The only person who could kill President Shimazu without any preparation was President Shimazu's only son, Shimazu Sae.
After all, there were no signs of fighting at the scene.
If the original surveillance records need to be modified, then both Sanyuan Shunji and Shimazu Sae have the authority to do so.
The only thing worth discussing now is... modifying the [time] of the surveillance records.
When and when did the murderer modify the surveillance records?
Xiang Yuanguang closed his eyes and felt that the current chain of evidence was still seriously insufficient.
If we can't get more evidence and information, we won't be able to find the real murderer.
It seemed that exchanging evidence and information with Kumimon was a must.
Prosecutor Sugiura, who was sitting at the prosecutor's table, was already sweating profusely after Detective Kengo Shirai was kicked out of the courtroom.
After all, the almost foolproof evidence in hand was dealt with in such a high-profile manner.
So, from now on, it seems that there is only one way.
Prosecutor Sugiura looked at the presiding judge in the main seat and spoke hesitantly.
"The prosecution now requests that the first eyewitness in this case, Detective Kogoro Mori, testify in court."
Originally, because of Kogoro Mouri's special situation, Prosecutor Sugiura did not intend to let Kogoro Mouri out.
But now it seems that if Kogoro Mori is not allowed to testify in court.
Then the prosecution of this case is truly finished.
dong dong.
The presiding judge nodded.
"This court agrees with the prosecutor's idea. Please ask the bailiff to bring Mr. Maori Kogoro to the court to testify."
The bailiff standing at the door nodded and left the courtroom without saying a word.
When he heard "Kogoro Mori", Genmitsu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Very good, as soon as Uncle Maori opens his mouth, he will know who is innocent and who is not.
Meanwhile, in the lounge.
Uncle Maori was adjusting his clothes in front of a large mirror.
Although this is not the first time I have appeared in court to testify, I still have to maintain the demeanor of a famous detective.
But it's strange that no one asked him to appear in court when there were homicide cases before.
How come Xiang Yuanguang was tried in court three times in less than ten days after he was released?
(Humph, this is all the work of that damned little Xiang Yuan!)
(It must be that the bad luck of Xiang Yuan Xiaogui, the plague god, has affected me!)
(Otherwise, how could it be possible that wherever I go, there are lawsuits to be fought?)
Kogoro Mori was thinking in his heart.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside the lounge door.
"Huh? Is that the bailiff? Is it time to go to court?"
Uncle Maori was a little confused, so he pushed open the door of the lounge.
But he didn't see the bailiff, only the old detective Shirai Kengo who was walking out in a hurry.
Although I don't know what's going on, I feel like a hero is getting old. "Really, what is this old man doing?"
Uncle Maori touched the back of his head and planned to go back to tidy up his clothes.
This is my first appearance in court in the Ikedai area, I have to leave a good impression on the presiding judge————
No, no, why should he leave a good impression on the presiding judge? He was not the one being brought to court.
But just as the door of the lounge was closed, there was a knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Maori Kogoro still in the lounge? Prosecutor Sugiura wants you to appear in court to testify."
The people who came this time should be the bailiffs.
Uncle Maori complained in his heart, why was it so slow this time? Usually the detectives described the case very quickly.
Then he opened the door and followed the bailiff to the courtroom.
On the way to the court, Uncle Maori did not forget to review the reasoning he had previously thought of.
(This time, I must let that brat Xiang Yuan know my reasoning ability!)
(I may have lacked before, but now I will win it all back!)
Crunch————————
The door of the courtroom was pushed open.
Kogoro Mori strode into the courtroom and came to the testimony stand with ease.
"I am the famous detective Kogoro Mori from Tokyo!"
"He is also the first eyewitness in this case, and he already knows the identity of the real murderer!"
Without waiting for the presiding judge to speak, Uncle Maori opened his mouth and made shocking remarks.
Gu Meimon was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the uncle in the blue suit mentioned by Kaga Ranmaru turned out to be this person.
However, Kumimon noticed the confident expression of Genmizu next to him.
I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
(In the previous defense records of Genkou, Kogoro Maori appeared in court as a witness.)
(They are both from Tokyo, so are they some kind of fixed partners?)
(Or maybe, Xiang Yuanguang had already contacted Maori Kogoro in advance and arranged the next testimony?)
Thinking of this, Gu Meimen couldn't help but touch her flowing hair again.
Humph, although Xiang Yuanguang looks like a human rights lawyer, in fact his methods are not much better than his.
It seems that this defense has been firmly won and there won't be any more troubles.
"Oh, so he's a famous detective from Tokyo?"
The inexperienced presiding judge Honchi was a little excited.
It was the first time he had seen a creature called a famous detective.
After all, there is no such thing as a famous detective in Honchidai.
"Then, Mr. Maori must have guessed the murderer in this case."
"Please tell us who you think the real murderer is, Mr. Maori!"
At this point, Xiang Yuanguang already had his hands on his hips, full of confidence.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu next to him wordlessly put his sunglasses back on and continued listening to the song.
When Gu Meimen saw that Xiang Yuanguang was full of confidence, he also felt that the game was secure.
Although Xiao Dai behind didn't know what was going on, she felt that she couldn't lose the momentum.
On the other side, I saw the appearance of the defense lawyers.
Prosecutor Sugiura subconsciously touched his hair, his face full of confusion.
What? Maori Kogoro is our witness, why do the lawyers on the other side think it's safe?
Could it be that... Could it be that Kogoro Mori is going to change his testimony at the last minute?
"My reasoning is that the real culprits in this case are Mr. Yamada Isamu and Mr. Kaga Ranmaru!"
Kogoro Mouri pointed at the two people in the dock with confidence.
