Chapter 134 Reversal of Illumination (26)
—————April 28, 8:20 a.m.——————
—————Main Ikedai Place, Court of Justice——————
Today is the last day of the three-day trial.
Can we find the final truth and the ultimate murderer of this case?
Everything depends on this final trial.
Tick, tick, tick.
The presiding judge pushed open the door of the courtroom and was a little surprised.
Because this time, both the prosecution and the defense are all here.
Under normal circumstances, the presiding judge should be the first to arrive.
Perhaps it is because both parties attach great importance to the final truth of this case.
The middle-aged presiding judge quickly walked to the main seat and sat down. He coughed twice and then banged the gavel.
"Today is the last day of the trial of President Shimazu's murder."
"Excuse me, has the prosecutor's investigation and evidence collection on Asakura Mirei been completed?"
At the prosecutor's table, Prosecutor Sugiura looked up in confusion.
It wasn't until the middle-aged presiding judge repeated his previous words that he reacted.
"Oh, it should be done now."
"……should?"
The middle-aged presiding judge shook his head and looked at Prosecutor Sugiura and spoke seriously.
"It seems that Prosecutor Sugiura is very unreliable today. I will ask you a few questions to test you."
"Excuse me, who is the biggest suspect at the moment?"
Prosecutor Sugiura blinked and answered.
"It's [Shimazu Sae] and the latest suspect [Asakura Mirei]."
"Well, then, what evidence have you collected about [Asakura Mirei]?"
The middle-aged presiding judge nodded and asked again.
When asked this question, Prosecutor Sugiura sighed and glanced at Xiang Yuanguang.
Then, he responded to the middle-aged presiding judge.
"We have collected testimony from nearby gangsters about Asakura Mirei."
"Also, the police have already investigated Asakura Mirei's identity and whereabouts."
“However, the prosecution will not present new witnesses to testify in the trial court.”
"Asakura Mirei will be the last witness in this case."
Hearing this answer, the middle-aged presiding judge nodded with some satisfaction.
Although Prosecutor Sugiura looks like he is about to give up and is very unreliable.
However, what should be known is still known, and what should be said has also been said.
Then, you shouldn't continue asking.
The middle-aged presiding judge coughed twice and looked at the defense.
The atmosphere between Genmi Hikaru and Kumimon, who were originally tense, seems to have become more harmonious.
Gu Meimen was still wearing the same black suit and confident smile as always.
However, Xiang Yuanguang wore a blue coat over his light blue short-sleeved shirt.
(Uh, Lawyer Xiang Yuan's outfit today is a little different, is he following the trend?)
The middle-aged presiding judge pondered secretly, shook his head, and felt that his guess had nothing to do with the case.
Then, the middle-aged presiding judge conducted the usual questioning to the defense bench.
"This court is about to begin the final trial of the murder of President Shimazu."
"Excuse me, has the defense completed its preparations regarding the testimony collected from Asakura Mirei?"
This time, Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers, looked at the door of the courtroom, and then spoke.
"The defense has finished preparing. Please, presiding judge, begin the final hearing of this case."
Nodding, the middle-aged presiding judge raised the gavel and banged it down three times.
Dude, dunk, dunk.
"This court will examine the details of the murder of President Shimazu. This is the last day of the three-day trial." "The defense and prosecution are ready. Now, the court is in session!"
"Please, the last witness in this case, Asakura Mirei, come to the testimony stand and speak."
In the audience, Uncle Maori was concentrating intently.
He is also waiting for the last witness who seems to have nothing to do with the case, but seems to be connected everywhere.
After accepting the commission from President Shimazu, Uncle Mori investigated Asakura Mirei.
However, the evidence was collected in places where Asakura Miling was often seen, and no one had actually seen Asakura Miling.
This trial in court was probably the first and last time he saw Asakura Mirei.
Because no matter what the outcome of this case is, he will return to the Mori Office in Tokyo.
"I wonder if Conan would be scared staying in the hotel alone... But if Mr. Arita is here..."
"That should be okay...right?"
Ran Mouri's mind was not on the trial, but on Conan who was still in the hotel room.
Conan, who was still in the hotel room, had actually begun to synchronize the sounds in the courtroom through headphones.
As for Arita Ryosuke, who was looking after Conan? He was playing video games in another room.
There are bodyguards outside to ensure Conan's safety, so he doesn't need to worry about these things.
(Is it coming? Asakura Mirei, the biggest mystery of this case...)
Conan put his hand on his earphones, hoping to make the sound more obvious.
He also wanted to know what kind of person this elusive woman was.
Tick, tick, tick.
In the corridor of the courtroom, a figure was walking towards the courtroom, led by a bailiff.
Asakura Mirei, a woman with deep sins, is suspected to be the biggest mastermind behind this case.
She followed the bailiff slowly forward.
Soon, Asakura Mirei noticed Shimazu Sae appearing from the other side of the corridor.
The man entered the courtroom before Asakura Mirei and should have taken his seat in the witness stand.
According to her feeling, Shimazu Sae seems to be the same Shimazu Sae as before.
Love her to the point of being crazy...
However, for some reason, Asakura Mirei felt a little uneasy.
Crunch——————
The door to the courtroom was pushed open.
The one who appeared in everyone's sight was a beautiful girl who was so cute that it was hard to describe.
She had long, shiny black hair, as dark as the darkest ink in the night sky, falling softly on her shoulders, swaying gently with her slight movements, shimmering with a silky luster.
Her face was soft and delicate, her skin was as white as a newly blooming lily, her eyes were as clear as water, reflecting the warm light around her. She was wearing a simple dress with elegant colors and a well-fitting cut, which perfectly set off her figure and temperament.
The girl seemed to have walked out of a dream, she stood quietly at the testimony stand, her demeanor full of elegance and tranquility, her every move seemed just right, neither ostentatious nor artificial.
"The witness in this case... Asakura Mirei."
Prosecutor Sugiura narrowed his eyes. He didn't want to look at the witness.
On the one hand, he felt that his sparse hair was too embarrassing, and on the other hand, he felt that Asakura Mirei's appearance was too misleading and would affect his judgment.
The middle-aged presiding judge had a look of surprise in his eyes, and he immediately understood why Xiang Yuanguang had mentioned Shimazu Sae before, and why he would take the blame for a woman who might have killed his father.
Is it because my lover is too beautiful?
Gu Meimen sat back in the chair and stared at Asakura Mirei.
To be honest, in Gu Meimen's eyes, money is much more important than appearance, and even behavior is more important than appearance.
A woman who only has looks and fake temperament is not worth mentioning in his eyes.
As for Xiang Yuanguang? The hedgehog-headed man had no idea at all, and was even a little confused as to why the others looked so surprised.
The era of his previous life was much later than the era of Conan's world view, and it was full of technology and cruel life.
What kind of beautiful girl, weird or unnatural, has he not seen?
Xiang Yuanguang turned his head and stared at the dazed Judge with murderous eyes.
The middle-aged presiding judge immediately felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. He coughed twice and then banged the gavel.
He spoke.
"Now, please tell me your name and occupation."
"Afterwards...testify in this case!"
