Chapter 137 Reversal of Illumination
Chapter 137 Reversal of Illumination (29)
"Ah, indeed... that is indeed the case."
Shimazu Sae heard what Kumimon said and nodded repeatedly.
"My father prevented me from pursuing love... and if my father died, I would get a lot of money."
"Then I can pin the blame on Sanyuan Shunji, and I can inherit the company without any effort."
"This way, no one will hinder me from pursuing love, and I can marry Meiling!"
"Oh, so that's how it is. What a perfect reason for murder."
Kumimon smiled and nodded.
"In other words, even Asakura Mirei knows this."
At the defense table, the hedgehog-haired lawyer stroked his chin and spoke thoughtfully.
"So it's reasonable for Asakura Mirei to kill President Shimazu and modify the surveillance records to put the blame on Sanyuan Shunji."
"If Sanyuan Shunji is found out and is not the real murderer, then the blame will be put on Mr. Shimazu."
"This way, even if I kill someone, I won't get the money, but at least I won't be caught killing someone."
"Yeah, that's a perfect solution."
At this point, Mr. Maori at the defense table finally realized that something was wrong.
Why every point and every reason that Shimazu Sae said.
They can all perfectly match up with Asakura Mirei? It's just that there is no relevant evidence...
(What is Xiang Yuan kid up to? Is this one of his tactics?)
(However, if the murder weapon was really disposed of by Asakura Mirei, how should the crime be convicted?)
Uncle Maori frowned as he looked at the situation in the courtroom.
The exceptionally beautiful girl seemed to have not yet noticed that the trap had been formed.
This might be what it means to be in a situation without knowing it... Although he probably even his daughter beside him noticed that something was wrong.
"How could this be possible? Meiling is definitely not with me just for money!"
"The love between us is extremely pure!"
"Anyway, Meiling wouldn't kill anyone, and you don't have any evidence to prove it, right?"
"Whether it's surveillance records, eyewitnesses, or the murder weapon!"
Shimazu Sae said loudly.
"Can you find the murder weapon? Humph, even if you do, there will only be my fingerprints on it!"
"Because I was the one who killed the person, and you can't find the murder weapon that I destroyed!"
Asakura Mirei, who was a little nervous, felt a little relieved at this time.
That’s right, even if Gu Meimen and Xiang Yuanguang already understood everything, what does it matter what method she used?
The surveillance records will not be retained for more than two days, and she cannot be found through the surveillance records.
Moreover, the murder weapon and other items have been completely destroyed, and there is no way to extract fingerprints.
In a court of law, evidence is everything. Reasoning without evidence is just empty talk...
"You said [murder weapon], right?"
He gave Yuan Guang an unfathomable smile.
"The murder weapon was the bronze bust of President Shimazu himself, which you presented to him."
"This thing is easy to grab. It seems that there is only the base of the bust..."
The heart lock in the property panel is always in an activated state.
The hedgehog-haired lawyer kept his eyes on Asakura Mirei at the testimony stand.
Of the five red heart locks, three have already been opened.
So, now is the time to make a concerted effort, use psychological tactics, and directly defeat Asakura Mirei.
"Mr. Shimazu Sae, there should be [fingerprints] near the base of the statue that is easy to grasp."
"And, [Fingerprints] can only be the fingerprints of the [murderer], right?"
Spreading his hands towards Yuan Guang, he shook his head.
"You said that if there is a fingerprint, it can only be your fingerprint. What if it is Asakura Mirei's fingerprint?"
Shimazu Sae shook his head repeatedly.
"It's impossible. Have you found the murder weapon?"
Asakura Mirei's eyes suddenly became sharp. Could it be that the hypothesis she just proposed to Genkou... that the statue might have been picked up by someone?
Is it true? The reason why the defense is so calm here is to assume everything...
Is it really because they got the [murder weapon]?
"We found the [statue], a bronze bust of President Shimazu."
As Kumimon walked back to the defense table, he smiled.
"This thing is not as heavy as Mr. Shimazu said. Lawyer Xiang Yuan next to me can lift it with one hand."
"Now, how about I show it to you, Mr. Shimazu?"
At this moment, the whole audience was in an uproar.
In this case, the murder weapon, which the suspect had always emphasized had been destroyed, was actually found?
Even the middle-aged presiding judge widened his eyes. No wonder the defense arrived early this time.
So, was it to place the bronze bust of President Shimazu under the table in the defense seat in advance?
"That kind of thing is impossible."
Shimazu Sae stuttered.
The next moment, Xiang Yuanguang put on white gloves and leaned down——————
The bronze bust of President Shimazu was suddenly lifted up with one hand and displayed to everyone!
At this moment, Asakura Miling was filled with shock.
This, this is definitely the bronze bust that Shimazu Sae commissioned...even the color and texture are the same.
There are even some scarlet red marks on it, but the whole picture cannot be seen.
(They, they actually got the murder weapon in this case!?)
"Look, the statue I can lift with one hand isn't as heavy as you said, right?"
Xiang Yuanguang said this, he placed the statue on the table, then stood up and stood in front of the statue.
Finally, Xiang Yuanguang completed the final reasoning as a matter of course.
"We just need to find the fingerprints of anyone other than President Shimazu on the murder weapon."
"The ultimate culprit in this case has been found, and I will submit this [statue] as evidence."
"Well... although Inspector Shirai and I don't have a good relationship, it's still okay for you to check the [Statue]."
"Mr. Judge, if I remember correctly, today is the last day of the three-day trial——————"
"If the key evidence in this case is identified after the court session, can we directly convict him?"
The middle-aged presiding judge who was questioned nodded blankly.
"Then, if we add bribery, attempted murder, and a series of other charges..."
"Even if he has a record of other murders before, is it possible that he will be sentenced to [death penalty]?"
Xiang Yuanguang continued to ask questions.
"Well, if the case is serious, there is a possibility of being sentenced to death."
The middle-aged presiding judge sighed.
"What if that person surrenders ahead of time and has a good confession?"
Ask Yuan Guang again.
"Then perhaps I can be saved from death."
The middle-aged presiding judge answered again, and seemed somewhat puzzled as to why Xiang Yuanguang asked this.
"Well, that's the case. Then, I will proceed to the final reasoning of this case."
"After this deduction, I will submit the [statue] as evidence to verify my previous one..."
"【inference】."
The hedgehog-head put his hands on his hips, picked up his coffee cup confidently, and spoke.
Click.
Xiang Yuanguang heard the sound of something breaking and he looked around.
There is only one heart lock left.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Well, please take a look at my... [reasoning]."
I'm seriously stuck with the writing, so the next two chapters will be posted later. I'll wrap up the case related to the right to light today.
