Chapter 136 Reversal of Illumination
Chapter 136 Reversal of Illumination (28)
Let Shimazu Sae recount the murder process...
What's the point of doing this?
There was a hint of doubt in Asakura Mirei's eyes that was barely perceptible.
Obviously, Shimazu Sae was on her side, and recounting the murder process would only make people more certain of her innocence...
But Sang Ye is really useless. It would be great if Xiang Yuanguang could be dealt with.
Now she has been taken to the police station, but Kuwano will not betray her.
The current situation may be more favorable to her.
[~ Testimony about the process of killing President Shimazu ~]
[Testimony begins]
"At 4:30 p.m. on the 24th, I had an argument with my father and used the statue to kill him."
"Then I fled into the elevator with the statue and left the company."
“After I left the company, I modified the surveillance records and disposed of the statue.”
"On the morning of the 26th, I repented and sent my authorization key to Attorney Gu Meimen."
"This is the entire process before and after the incident. That's all."
[End of testimony]
"No, no, no, you can't leave the company with something as conspicuous as a statue."
"The surveillance records in the company lobby did not show any modification, so you left empty-handed."
"So the bust must be hidden somewhere inside the company, right?"
As soon as the testimony was over, Kumimon immediately spoke up to refute it.
As soon as this conclusion came out, Asakura Mirei's eyes narrowed slightly.
What's going on? It feels like... something is wrong.
"That's absolutely impossible. If I was hiding in the company, how could the police not find me?"
"Oh, so it was hidden in some hidden, safe place, and then moved away and destroyed the next day?"
Kumimon continued with a grin.
Shimazu Sae immediately became a little panicked, and he spoke again and again.
"That kind of stuff, why not just throw it into a random garbage dump? It will be destroyed all at once then."
"Have you ever considered the possibility that the statue might be picked up by someone because it looks valuable?"
What Kumimon said next made Asakura Mirei feel a little horrified.
Yes, it is a pure copper statue and it is quite large, so it is not impossible for it to be picked up.
"I……"
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about other things."
Xiang Yuanguang continued to speak, holding the handle of the coffee cup thoughtfully.
Then, he held out his coffee cup, pointed it at Shimazu Sae, and spoke.
"You told me on the night of the 25th that the only access key you hadn't verified was your own."
"Then why don't you verify your own permission key? Don't you want to?"
"Or... your access key is not with you at all!?"
"The person who sent the authorization key was not you at all!"
"Woo, woooo!"
Shimazu Sae was shocked. He took two steps back and spoke in even greater panic.
"How, how could that be? Of course the authorization key is in my hands."
"Otherwise, how did I modify the surveillance records on the night of the 24th?"
"oh------"
Xiang Yuanguang held the coffee with confidence and said.
"That means that starting from the 24th, the authorization key is no longer in your hands." "Even the person who modified the surveillance records was not you, right?"
"Ah this..."
Shimazu Sae became more and more panicked.
However, Asakura Mirei has seen through the truth behind this.
How come I didn't see that Shimazu Sae was so stupid before? He was just like an undercover agent sent by the other side.
If she continues like this, she will be killed by her stupid teammates without saying a word, she immediately said angrily.
"Sao, stop talking."
It's scary when a girl with a very gentle temperament suddenly gets angry.
However, Shimazu Sae was not afraid at all, he said it without hesitation.
"No, they suspect you of murder, I must prove your innocence!"
"Master Xiangyuan, Lawyer Gu Meimen, since you suspect that Meiling murdered someone."
"The elevator's surveillance footage didn't show Meiling taking the elevator, and I didn't see Meiling either."
"She has no alibi at all, right?"
Gu Meimen let out a long "oh", and then he said as if he had suddenly realized something.
"So he took the emergency exit. No wonder it wasn't recorded in the surveillance footage."
"No, that's not the case. Besides, the statue is so heavy. How could Meiling, who is so weak, possibly lift it..."
Xiang Yuanguang put down his coffee, stood up, and looked surprised.
"Oh, then it seems that she is not as fragile as she looks. I have heard rumors about her before."
"Also...and..."
"That's enough, Sae-chan, stop talking!"
Finally, Asakura Mirei became furious and could no longer maintain her previous disguise.
But at this moment, Xiang Yuanguang slammed the table again, and the situation at the defense table suddenly became bleak.
"A pound of pears! We are questioning the witness Shimazu Sae now, not you!"
"If you continue to obstruct the defense's questioning, I will charge you with obstructing the court's trial order!"
The strong wind blew, and Asakura Mirei's hair was instantly no longer as neat as before, and she finally couldn't hold it anymore.
From the moment I stood on the witness stand, everything seemed to go completely against my expectations.
What is the reason for this?
The middle-aged presiding judge was about to speak, but at this moment, Gu Meimen had quietly refreshed himself, and he spoke with a smile.
"Mr. Presiding Judge, the trial court must not only consider legal principles, but also human feelings."
"How can we stop a witness from explaining the doubts in this case and exonerating his lover?"
"Although his words may not be perfect, his intentions are clear, aren't they?"
The middle-aged presiding judge, who was about to speak, was immediately silenced by Gu Meimen. He coughed twice and nodded.
"In that case, it seems that this court has no reason to stop the questioning stage."
This is a hypothetical false plot, and I would like to raise an objection. If it was the first or second trial, Prosecutor Sugiura would definitely shout this out loud.
But this was the third trial, so Prosecutor Sugiura, who had already given up, did not intend to make any comments.
The pace now falls completely into the hands of Gu Meimen and Xiang Yuanguang, and his objections will be of no use.
These two are indeed legendary lawyers who made headlines in the newspapers at the same time, and it is really difficult to deal with them when they join forces.
"Let's get back to the point, Mr. Shimazu Sae. Have you ever thought about marrying Ms. Asakura Mirei?"
"But you were interrupted by your own father? Oh, this is also one of the reasons why you committed the crime, right?"
Gu Meimen said with a grin.
Shimazu Sae nodded hurriedly.
Seeing this scene, Asakura Miling couldn't help but feel cold in her heart. All the questions the two lawyers asked were based on her words.
She was called to the court, but no questions were directed to her...why on earth was that?
