Chapter 125 Reversal of Illumination
Chapter 125 Reversal of Illumination (20)
—————April 27, 8:20 a.m.——————
—————Main Ikedai Place, Court of Justice——————
Coming out of the lounge, Kumimon's expression was quite unfriendly.
He exchanged glances with Xiang Yuanguang who had just arrived at the courtroom.
Then, with a cold snort, he took Dai Machiko to the courtroom.
Xiang Yuanguang had no intention of expressing any opinion on this.
He lightly tapped the earphone next to his ear, which was easily overlooked.
drop.
The red light began to flash and the headset was activated.
On the other side, Conan Edogawa, who was still in the hotel room, began to connect to his mobile phone through the headset program.
Now he can hear the sounds near Xiang Yuanguang synchronously and transmit the information to Xiang Yuanguang through headphones.
Originally, Conan had the idea of going to the courtroom's gallery with Mouri Ran.
However, after thinking about it, Conan simply chose to play a supporting role in this way.
It would be absurd if a criminal case was closed with an innocent person being charged.
"Xiang Yuan, I've been curious since just now, what are you doing with those headphones on your ears...?"
Nanatsuki Koshimizu quietly refreshed behind Yuanguang Xiang, her eyes fixed on Yuanguang Xiang's headphones.
Although she herself was wearing headphones, that was just a disguise to lighten her mood.
But why do headphones like Xiang Yuanguang's look like the type that have communication capabilities?
"Nothing, I just asked a friend for help."
The hedgehog-headed lawyer was vague and did not elaborate.
He watched as the bailiffs walked by with Yamada Isamu and Kaga Ranmaru, heading to the courtroom.
He immediately took out the lawyer's badge from his pocket and buckled it on his collar.
Xiang Yuanguang adjusted his clothes for the last time and nodded to Yamada Yong who was passing by.
Finally, he said to Nanatsuki Koshimizu who was standing next to him.
"Let's go. We shouldn't keep the judge and the others waiting for so long."
Crunch————————
When the door of the courtroom was pushed open, the first person who came into view was the middle-aged presiding judge.
The presiding judge saw Xiang Yuanguang enter the courtroom and nodded.
"It seems that Lawyer Xiang Yuan has also arrived at the courtroom. Please take a seat."
"Well, now, all the prosecutors and defense personnel are here."
"This court asks everyone to make final preparations. We will soon begin the trial of the murder of President Shimazu."
Returning to the defense seat, Xiang Yuanguang took out various documents and evidence from his worn backpack.
Then, he placed what he needed on the table at the defense table.
But if it was Gu Meimen, he could clearly see that the evidence against Yuan Guang was basically all on paper.
At most, I brought a few photos put into a white photo bag.
"Hey, Sonic, didn't you say you wanted to prove Shimazu Sae's guilt? And you were collecting evidence for it."
"Are these paper documents and photos the evidence and intelligence you collected?"
Gu Meimen taunted without hesitation as he placed two small black boxes on the table.
He said this quite proudly and complacently.
"I already have the decisive evidence in my hands. I am much faster than you!"
(The decisive evidence...? Is it the contents of the two small black boxes?)
With some doubt, Xiang Yuanguang looked at the two small black boxes in front of Gu Meimen.
It looks very small and there is definitely not much that can be put in it.
If there is any piece of evidence that can be called decisive, it might be the USB flash drive and the videotape.
After all, nothing could prove Shimazu Sae's guilt better than unaltered surveillance footage.
There was no time for Genguang and Gu Meimen to talk.
The presiding judge had already struck the gavel, and the entire audience instantly fell silent.
He coughed twice, cleared his throat, then looked at Prosecutor Sugiura and spoke.
"This court is about to hear the case of the murder of President Shimazu. Is the prosecutor ready?"
Prosecutor Sugiura did not bring a wig this time. She nodded and said while showing her thinning hair.
"The prosecution is ready."
Then, the presiding judge looked at the defense bench, where an anxious atmosphere had already begun to build, and shook his head.
How should I put it, the two legendary lawyers, Attorney Xiang Yuan and Attorney Gu Meimen, seem to be anxious all the time.
It gives people the feeling that if it weren't in the courtroom, they would probably take up physical weapons and fight at any time and anywhere.
"Ahem, defense, are you ready?"
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin, didn't say anything, just nodded.
And Gu Meimen stood up and said in an unusually showy manner.
"Of course, the defense is ready. We have found the decisive evidence."
"I will complete all trials of this case as quickly as possible."
"Uh, oh...it's great that Attorney Kumemon has this idea."
The middle-aged presiding judge nodded awkwardly. He didn't know how to comment on Gu Meimen's mysterious confidence.
After all, in the last trial, Sanyuan Shunji was designated as the murderer, and a lot of evidence and possibilities were presented.
In the end, all his plans were shattered by just a few words from lawyer Xiang Yuanguang next to him. How can he still be confident now?
Regardless of that, the presiding judge raised the gavel and banged on the table.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Now, I declare the trial open. Please invite the detective in charge of this court, Mr. Kurosawa Hirashima, to introduce the case."
Crunch——————
The door of the courtroom was pushed open, and detective Kurosawa Heima walked into the courtroom and came to the testimony stand.
And the one who was acting so showy just now, Kumimon's mouth twitched when he saw this detective.
As an ace lawyer who holds a grudge, he remembered it very clearly. The detective who stopped him at the door of the building had this in his possession.
And he even said something arrogant like "No dogs allowed in Komeimon". Really, he will be in trouble after this trial!
"I am the detective in charge of the murder of President Shimazu, Kurosawa Hirashima, who replaced Inspector Shirai."
"Now, allow me to explain the circumstances of this case."
Kurosawa Heima took out a piece of paper from his briefcase, held it up and read aloud.
"The defendants in this case, Yamada Isamu and Kaga Ranmaru, are suspected of colluding to kill the deceased Shimazu Zangyuan."
"But the suspect has been basically ruled out. The most likely suspect is human..."
"Witness, Sanyuan Shunji."
"But starting from 8 o'clock this morning, the biggest suspect in this case has been changed to——————"
"Mr. Shimazu Sae."
The presiding judge was shocked.
"Why would it be Mr. Shimazu Sae? This is just a hypothesis that Lawyer Gen proposed."
But Prosecutor Sugiura next to him shook his head and spoke.
"At 8 o'clock this morning, Mr. Shimazu Sae surrendered himself and claimed to be the murderer of the deceased Shimazu Zangyuan."
"However, the prosecution has no evidence to prove that he committed murder, so the case will be directly tried in court today."
He glanced at Xiang Yuanguang who seemed to be in deep thought, and Gu Meimen who couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Prosecutor Sugiura sighed and made a final request.
"The prosecution requested that witness Shimazu Sae appear in court to testify."
"If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last witness in this case."
The last witness...
The middle-aged presiding judge nodded, banged the gavel, and then spoke.
"Then, this court summons witness Shimazu Sae to testify!"
Tick, tick, tick.
The bailiff immediately left the courtroom.
Soon, Shimazu Sae will be standing on the witness stand.
(The truth of everything will be revealed at this time...!)
A trace of solemnity flashed across Xiang Yuanguang's eyes.
