Chapter 116 Reversal of Illumination
Chapter 116 Reversal of Illumination (16)
"You said...what? Surveillance records? Look at the account book?"
Sanyuan Shunji finally couldn't hold it back and his eyes widened.
With an expression of disbelief on his face, he spoke.
"What are you talking about? In the surveillance records... President Shimazu is clearly looking at the second phase project proposal?"
Are you looking at the second phase plan?
Gu Meimen's eyebrows raised, and he shook his head, mocking.
"It seems that because time is so tight, you have no choice but to randomly retrieve a day's worth of surveillance footage."
"As a result, you don't even know which day's surveillance records you retrieved?"
"How ridiculous! Your Honor, after reading the log, how do you feel?"
The middle-aged presiding judge in the main seat blinked.
To be honest, he was not a finance major and had no idea what was written on the transaction records.
But now the whole audience was looking at him, and it seemed inappropriate to say that he didn't understand anything at all.
So the middle-aged presiding judge coughed twice and nodded slightly.
"Ahem, I think...Shimadzu's recent earnings are not very good."
"The curves inside are all going slightly downwards."
(Hmm? Is it just a curve? Could it be that the presiding judge can’t understand the flow chart?)
Xiang Yuanguang in the corner noticed something strange.
I feel like the judge in Honkedai is not as experienced or capable as the judge in Tokyo.
Sure enough, no matter what industry, bald people are always very strong.
"That's right. So, I will submit this evidence to the court on the grounds of motive for murder."
Gu Meimen spoke at this time, and while submitting the evidence, his eyes stayed on the two people whispering in the corner.
"Then, Detective Maori can also prove that Sanyuan Shunji was on the top floor of Shimadzu Company at the time of the crime!"
"And the account book in Lawyer Xiang Yuan's hand can provide additional evidence for the motive for the murder!"
Sanyuan Junzhi was horrified.
It was a mistake. He is not in the surveillance records now, and the testimony of the two suspects alone is not enough to prove anything.
Even if Kumimon provided evidence, it could only prove that he embezzled company property, and it couldn't even prove it.
However, if it was Kogoro Mori, it can be proven that he was on the top floor of Shimadzu Corporation at that time...!
Because, because————
"Detective Maori, you called Secretary Sanyuan at that time, and Secretary Sanyuan answered the phone."
"I took the elevator down to the first floor. May I ask, which floor did the elevator display at that time?"
Kogoro Mori, who was suddenly kicked out, looked at Genmitsu Mukai.
Then, Xiang Yuanguang silently put the account book back on the witness stand and sat back in the defense seat.
Uncle Maori returned to the witness stand and asked Sanyuan Shunji to move aside before he spoke uncertainly.
"To be honest, I don't remember. I just remember it was a very high floor..."
Gu Meimen walked to the witness stand and spoke softly.
"Detective Maori, where do you think Mr. Sanyuan usually works as the president's secretary?"
"Uh, the top floor, right...?"
"So when you went there, it was still Shimadzu's working hours, right? Where should Sanyuan be?"
"It should still be the top floor..."
"In that case, Secretary Sanyuan should come down from the top floor to pick you up, right?"
Boom!
"Objection! The prosecutor has raised an objection! Attorney Gu Meimon is conducting a leading questioning!"
"I request that the witness Maori Kogoro be temporarily removed to prevent him from giving misleading testimony!"
Prosecutor Sugiura put on his wig silently, slammed the table and spoke loudly.
"What do you mean by induced testimony? I'm just helping Detective Mori recall what should have happened that day." "After all, Kaga Ranmaru and Yamada Isamu both testified that they saw Sanyuan Shunji, right?"
Kumimon's tone was lighthearted, but the presiding judge also reacted.
Tuk Tuk.
The presiding judge banged the gavel twice and said.
"The objection is valid! Please don't use leading remarks, Attorney Gu Meimen, otherwise I will ask you to go out and calm down!"
You've been warned...!
Machiko Dai felt a little nervous, she didn't know what Kumimoto would do next.
But if this man is obsessed with something, there is a high probability that he will——————
"Oh, of course, I know that."
Gu Meimen turned around and continued speaking slowly.
"Please don't take what I just said, Kogoro Maori, seriously. Don't feel any psychological burden."
"Even if Kaga Ranmaru and Yamada Isamu were wrongly imprisoned due to Sanyuan Shunji's absence, it was because they were unlucky."
"Even if Mr. Shimazu Sae lost his biological father for no reason, it was because he was unlucky."
"Even if the real murderer is at large and not punished, and the victims can only cry, it is also because they are unlucky. In short, Mr. Maori should not have any psychological burden."
"You just need to tell the truth you know."
"Objection! Attorney Gu Meimen is still making misleading remarks. The prosecution demands that Gu Meimen be expelled immediately and that he be refused to participate in the rest of the defense in this trial!"
Prosecutor Sugiura was completely furious. He slammed the table and spoke again without hesitation.
However, the presiding judge was actually persuaded by Kumemon, and he spoke before Kogoro Mori could say anything.
"The prosecution's objection is rejected. This is because the court believes that what Attorney Gu Meimon said is not wrong."
The presiding judge took out the tissue he brought with him and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then spoke with emotion.
"Justice should not only consider the fairness of legal principles, but also think from the perspective of humanity."
"Detective Maori, please recall carefully, is the floor displayed by the elevator the top floor?"
Helpless, more helpless than ever before.
Sanyuan Shunzhi looked up at the mentally retarded presiding judge in disbelief, and then looked at the people in the gallery behind him.
Except for a little kid in a blue suit, everyone else was touched, and a high school girl seemed to be the most deeply touched.
This, this is clearly moral kidnapping and inducing speech. Why doesn't anyone object to it?
"Conan, what Lawyer Kumemon said makes a lot of sense. It's because of the unclear testimony."
"And it caused innocent people to go to jail, and the child couldn't find the real murderer who killed his father..."
"That's too pitiful..."
Mao Lilan suddenly thought of the situation on Moon Shadow Island at that time.
The testimonies of the four murderers in the SL3 case were clearly vague and contained loopholes, but the case was hastily closed.
It almost led to a bigger tragedy and injustice more than ten years later...
"No, no, no, Mr. Kumemoto is just talking nonsense."
Conan's head shook like a rattle.
The Death God Elementary School Student said helplessly.
"Uncle Maori just can't remember clearly, right? If he is instigated, he will say a top level."
"Then if Sanyuan Shunji was innocent originally, wouldn't he have become a criminal suspect for no reason now?"
"Sister Xiaolan, do you know that giving false testimony is against the law?"
“Eh…Is, is that so?”
Mao Lilan showed her small eyes.
