Chapter 195 Understand the situation
—————May 7, 3:30 p.m.——————
—————Shikoku region, hospital ward——————
"...Oh, the prosecutor this time is that old Deng from Guiyue Liuyun again?"
"What kind of tricks are you playing? Modifying your testimony? Hiding evidence? Or something else?"
Xiang Yuanguang was sitting beside the hospital bed, still wearing his black cloak and black magic hat.
I am no longer surprised by this. After all, I have already seen Lao Deng's methods in the Moon Shadow Island incident.
"[Again]? Are you a local defense lawyer from Shikoku? Have you ever fought against Prosecutor Gui Yue Liu Yun?"
Yoshizo Ohnuki, who was lying on the hospital bed with a bruised face, looked up at the magician next to him.
To be honest, if Nanatsuki Koshimizu hadn't brought him to the ward and said that he was also a defense lawyer.
Yoshizo Oonuki could not connect the black magician in front of him with the defense lawyer.
Will this defense lawyer, dressed so strangely, really not be thrown out after the trial begins?
But no matter what, the old lawyer shook his head and continued what he was saying before.
"Forget it, this is not something I should ask. Since you have already fought with Guiyue Liuyun, the result should be..."
"It's [failure], right? After all, Prosecutor Gui Yue Liu Yun's winning rate is 100%."
"I have fully realized the other party's dominance in the Four Countries Regional Court..."
"He is far better than any other prosecutor I know. I can only say that he is worthy of being the chief prosecutor of the four countries."
"Are you confident in facing Gui Yue Liu Yun? Don't lose your lawyer badge like me."
Shaking his head towards Genkou, he lowered his magic hat and snapped his fingers.
It's natural that he's faced Gui Yue Liu Yun before, but that guy still has a 100% winning rate simply because...
During the recess of the Tsukikage Island case, he fled back to the Shikoku region in a panic.
Otherwise, Guiyue Liuyun's undefeated record would be broken in Xiang Yuanguang's hands.
"Whether you are confident or not, we have no choice but to take action now, right?"
"Lawyer Ohnuki, I heard that you insisted on questioning in court, which ultimately led to this result."
"Excuse me, whose testimony are you questioning? What is the content of the testimony?"
In response to the black magician's question, Zenzo Ōnuki remained silent for a moment.
The contents of yesterday's trial flashed through his mind quickly.
I still remember vividly every statement made by the opposing prosecutor and every testimony given by the witness.
The last impression was the silence of the whole audience, from the prosecutor, to the audience, to the witness stand and the main seat...
Everyone looked at him in silence, waiting to step into the final grave and trap.
The old lawyer's eyes dimmed a little, and then he spoke.
"I question the testimony of Lavender Villa's housekeeper, Kotani Renzo."
"[I left the villa with Mr. Yamamoto to buy food, so Mizuguchi Kana was the only one in the villa]..."
"Then, the prosecutors presented another witness who proved that Kotani Renzo's testimony was correct."
Another witness? This case also involves the deceased, the defendant, and a fifth person besides the two witnesses?
A hint of surprise appeared in Xiang Yuanguang's eyes.
This doesn't seem to be consistent with the case mentioned by Nanatsuki Koshimizu in the anime... No, in the anime...
There is no detailed description of the Lavender Villa murder case, the only thing known is the name of the defendant...
In addition, the deceased committed suicide and Tokatsu Junya's reasoning led the police to be misled by this information.
"What is the other witness's name? What's his occupation?"
This time, there was no need for the old lawyer to speak again. Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was standing next to Mukai Genmitsu, had already spoken out to explain.
"It's Mr. Hiroo Tsuchio, an actor from a nearby theater troupe."
"He had had contact with the housekeeper many times and was quite familiar with him, so he recognized the two people in a nearby store."
Hiroo Tsuchio…?
This person is also an acquaintance, and one of the culprits who led to Kana Mizuguchi's suicide.
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin, his expression hidden under the black mask, making it hard to tell what he was thinking. Combined with the dark uniform, he looked inexplicably oppressive.
For example, like the Dark Lord who eats children in some Japanese RPG... ?
For a moment, because of Xiang Yuanguang's silence, the atmosphere in the ward also fell silent.
The old lawyer hesitated for a moment, but still spoke first, breaking the silence.
"Although Miss Yueshui said that you are also a defense lawyer, I don't even know your name now."
"May I see your lawyer's medal and ask your name?"
"Name? My name is Xiang Yuanguang, a lawyer in Beihua Town, Tokyo."
After coming to his senses, he answered Yoshizo Oonuki's question to Genmitsu.
As if he thought of something, he took off his hat, revealing his iconic hedgehog head.
Then, he rummaged around in his hat and took out the lawyer's medal after a while.
This lawyer's medal can no longer be described as worn out; it would be more appropriate to describe it as "battle damaged."
“Is this… Is this a Syrian-style lawyer’s medal?”
Oonuki Zenzo's eyes froze, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
In the legal profession, the age of a lawyer's medal is equivalent to indicating the strength of one's professional ability.
Those who have a very new lawyer badge are novice lawyers with little experience and weak abilities.
The lawyer whose medal is worn out and whose gold paint has fallen off is an experienced lawyer.
However, I have never seen a lawyer's medal like the one worn by the magician who calls himself Xiang Yuanguang.
The gold paint on it has almost completely fallen off and is obviously damaged in many places.
It is hard to say whether this lawyer's medal can be brought into the courtroom as a lawyer's credential.
"The Medal of Law was blown up like this? Was the explosion on the Silver Star so dangerous!?"
"No wonder you said your blue coat was completely destroyed in the explosion..."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu covered her mouth in surprise, then suddenly reacted.
"No, the lawyer's medal you wear on your collar has become like this."
"Why did you only stay in the hospital for two or three days and then come out intact?"
What do you mean intact...? Although the injury on the left arm was not obvious.
However, you can also see that your left arm is not as flexible as before, right?
The Black Magician shook his head and sighed.
"I'm a Super Saiyan, okay? Let's not worry about that for now."
"If Ms. Mizuguchi Kana was found guilty yesterday, the sentencing trial would begin tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"With Guiyue Liuyun's efficiency, the results will be out tomorrow."
"So, in order to change Ms. Mizuguchi Kana's ending, we must have the case sent back to the first instance for a retrial today."
Let the case be sent back to the first instance for retrial? How is that possible?
The old lawyer frowned and asked in confusion.
"What are you going to do?"
pat.
He snapped his fingers and said to Yuan Guang as a matter of course.
"Depend on public opinion, or my fists?"
"Lawyer Okumi, you just need to rest and recover. I will take care of the rest."
"Whether it's a not guilty verdict or your lawyer's medal, I will get it back."
"Just watch, the black magician's first performance!"
The author also fell into a deep sleep today, so I don't know how many chapters I can post at six o'clock. Anyway, let me explain first, there will still be five chapters today, but they will be posted one by one as they are written.
