Chapter 121 Adjournment: Lawyers in Action
—————April 26, 2:30 p.m.——————
—————Ikedai District Police Station——————
"…What did you say? Forensic Science Class?"
Inspector Shirai, who had been directly expelled from the court before, was not very happy to see Xiang Yuanguang.
No, to be precise, he was not happy to see all the lawyers.
Among them, the worst is lawyer Gu Meimen who insulted dogs by comparing them to dogs.
But if it was Xiang Yuanguang, he would at least be willing to listen to what Xiang Yuanguang wanted to say.
"Tsk, the autopsy report was issued by the Forensic Science Department, and they didn't give a specific time of death."
"This means that the Forensic Science Department cannot determine the exact time of death. This clue will only mislead your judgment."
Inspector Shirai was leaning against the doorstep, holding a cigarette in his mouth, like a gangster boss.
He glanced at the hedgehog-haired lawyer next to him, then paused for a moment at the face of the female detective wearing sunglasses.
Finally, he simply shook his head and spoke.
"I really don't understand why you lawyers have to walk around with a female assistant."
"The lawyer named Miki was like this before... How strange."
Lawyer Miki? I seem to have heard this name somewhere.
There was some confusion in Xiang Yuanguang's eyes, and then he realized, isn't this the lawyer who was against Gu Meimen?
When Genkou was planning to sue Kumemon, Lawyer Miki came over to deliver the documents.
Could it be that now, seeing that he was defending together with Kumimon, he turned to support the prosecutor's side?
This really is... a trouble-maker among trouble-makers!
Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at Inspector Shirai with some dissatisfaction.
"I say, Grandpa, you are not the detective in charge of this case, right? What we are investigating has nothing to do with you."
"Just tell us where the detective in charge of this case is and we'll go talk to him."
"Grandpa!? You are so rude! You can only call me uncle at most!"
Inspector Shirai was angry. He pointed to a room in the police station and said.
"There is a detective named Kurosawa Heima in that room. He is in charge of solving this case."
"Go find him and ask him to take you to the Forensic Science Department to inquire about the situation. The Forensic Science Department will agree."
"If he disagrees, just say I asked you to go."
The hedgehog-haired lawyer was a little surprised to hear this.
He didn't know why Inspector Shirai suddenly softened his stance at this time.
All I saw was Inspector Shirai waving his hands repeatedly as if he was shooing away flies, asking them to come in.
He sighed softly when Xiang Yuanguang and the other man were about to leave.
"Although I initially thought it was done by Kaga Ranmaru who had a criminal record, I went to see him after the court adjourned."
"I found out that he was not the murderer, and neither was Yamada Isamu, nor was Sanyuan Shunji."
"Haha, I don't have the authority to continue investigating. I'll leave it to you now. Go for it."
Xiang Yuanguang didn't look back, but just nodded slightly.
Just like his response before when Yamada Isamu asked him to find the truth.
He would do it naturally without anyone saying anything.
Knock knock, knock knock.
The door of the police station room was opened, and unexpectedly, the detective inside was an acquaintance.
He was the young detective who had set up the blockade under the Shimadzu Corporation building and allowed Xiang Yuanguang to enter.
"Ah, it's you!"
Detective Kurosawa Heima's face was full of surprise.
At the same time, Shimadzu Corporation Building.
Gu Meimen had already quietly arrived at the counter on the first floor with Machiko Dai.
He naturally talked to the counter staff, his eyes constantly lingering on the elevator.
Wait until some people nearby have left and no one is paying attention to their conversation.
Gu Meimen then spoke slowly to the counter.
"I'm the defense lawyer in President Shimazu's case. You can call me Kensuke Kumimon."
"Excuse me, if I want to see the surveillance records inside this elevator...who should I contact?"
The lady at the counter hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "No, sir. The company does not allow surveillance records to be viewed by outsiders."
"Unless you have a warrant from the police or..."
"But, I'm just taking a look at the surveillance records. It won't affect anything. There's no harm, right?"
"Fifty thousand yen, make friends, no one will know about this."
The ace lawyer said easily, quietly pulling out a credit card from his sleeve.
It is in the blind spot of surveillance and cannot be captured.
Seeing this, the lady at the counter hesitated, and then she finally nodded.
"Then please go to the corner room on the fifth floor. The monitoring room is right there..."
Simply leaving the anonymous credit card behind, Kumimon straightened his suit.
Then, he and Machiko Dai walked into the emergency passage and went up the stairs.
As they walked, Dai Machiko became a little confused.
"Why did you take the stairs, attorney, instead of the elevator?"
"I'm just verifying my previous guess, that's all."
Attorney Gu Meimen, who was a little out of breath, was so stubborn.
Just as they entered the monitoring room and started copying the elevator's internal monitoring records for the past three days using a USB flash drive.
A young man in an expensive suit appeared in the lobby on the first floor of Shimadzu Corporation.
There was no trace of the previous cynicism on his face, but instead there was a hint of annoyance and anger.
The counter lady, who was already feeling a little uneasy, saw the young man appear.
He even subconsciously stood up and greeted the young man.
"You're back, Mr. Shimazu."
"Ah, well... I don't want to worry about inheritance right now. I'll decide after the case is over!"
Shimazu Sae didn't even look at the lady at the counter. He agreed and then spoke angrily again.
"I have a bad temper? Your father is dead and we can't find the murderer now. How can you have a good temper?"
"I'll say it again, we have to wait until the case is over and the real murderer is found before we do anything else!"
Beep...beep...beep.
After hanging up the phone, Shimazu Sae looked at the lady at the counter.
He noticed that the lady at the counter looked a little flustered, but did not ask any more questions. Instead, he spoke.
"I'm going to the monitoring room now. Call the guards there and tell them to get ready. I'll be there right away."
Now... just go! ?
The lady at the counter was a little panicked, but under Shimazu Sae's gaze, she still dialed the phone with trembling hands.
"Mr. Shimazu is going to the monitoring room now. Please be ready to retrieve the monitoring records..."
After the call ended, Shimazu Sae nodded, got on the elevator and headed to the monitoring room on the fifth floor.
At this time, in the monitoring room, Gu Meimen had already copied the monitoring records of the elevator for the past three days.
"I never thought that the hedgehog-head guy was right."
Kumito murmured, somewhat incredulous at his own misjudgment.
"On the afternoon of the 24th, Shimazu Saeya also entered and exited the top floor corridor via the elevator!"
Crunch——————
The door of the monitoring room was opened.
Shimazu Sae walked into the monitoring room and nodded to the staff inside.
Then, he used his authority to check the monitoring records.
Then, he immediately discovered a fact that shocked him——————
The surveillance records of No. 24 were remotely modified twice!
Sanyuan Shunji's permission key is the second time to modify the surveillance records, which means that someone modified the surveillance records before Sanyuan Shunji, and other senior executives of Shimadzu Corporation intervened in the death of his father!
"Whose key code is the first permission key? Why can't I find it?"
Shimazu Sae stared at the staff next to him, and the staff shook their heads repeatedly.
"No, I don't know. The holder of the authority key has higher authority than us!"
“Not only can we not find out who has modified the surveillance records, we can’t even restore the original records before the modification!”
Boom!
Shimazu Sae slammed his fist on the control console, and without saying a word, he turned around and left the monitoring room.
From now on, he would take the authority keys of all senior executives of Shimadzu Corporation and try them out.
Only the high-level secret room code who modified the surveillance record for the first time has the right to restore the original record before the modification!
He wanted to see whose permission key matched the key code for the first modification of the surveillance records!
