Chapter 208 Reversal of Lavender
Chapter 208 Reversal of Lavender (9)
The glue takes an hour to set... The time of death was between 3 and 4 p.m....
At this moment, even the presiding judge, who might have some problems with his brain, realized that something was wrong without Guiyue Liuyun saying anything.
"Isn't this completely insufficient time?"
The glue takes an hour to solidify, but the murderer only has less than an hour to act.
In other words, unless the murderer knows some kind of time magic that can speed up the flow of time.
Otherwise, this method is simply impossible to achieve——————
"Okay, Inspector Akazawa, I know what evidence you're hiding. Take out those screws."
"I guess these screws actually only have the top part of the screw, without the upper half of the screw head..."
"Because, it would look weird if the window was fixed without the screw heads."
"No one will applaud a magic trick that is full of mistakes."
The black magician snapped his fingers, flipped his hands, and opened his hands towards Inspector Akasawa.
Inspector Akazawa, who was sitting at the testimony stand, frowned, realizing that the guy in front of him was really troublesome.
The crime scene had already been investigated and evidence collected, and the black magician simply walked around the crime scene.
But it was as if he had come to the same conclusion as Tokatsu Junya at the first investigation and evidence collection scene.
"The evidence is as you say, but that's not necessarily the case."
"Just because the glue takes an hour to dry doesn't mean the murderer has to wait in the room for an hour."
"You said that as a magician, you know the curing time of glue... Then you should know it too."
Guiyue Liuyun said with a sneer.
"It may take an hour for the glue to completely set, but what if we just want to simply fix it?"
"Apply glue to the bottom of the window and then place it against the window frame and leave it there for about thirty minutes."
"It would simply be fixed at the crime scene, and the killer could simply leave the room at that time."
"Then, I went to the living room to continue my previous housework, and knocked on the door during dinner time, pretending to be surprised..."
"Wouldn't it be possible to create a locked room scene where the crime couldn't be committed?"
...Such an assumption is naturally valid.
The best way to prove Kana Mizuguchi's innocence is to prove that she had no chance of committing the crime.
However, the current situation is that there is no doubt that Mizuguchi Kana is a suspect.
Xiang Yuanguang narrowed his eyes and looked unconsciously at the dismantled window.
Moreover, the most difficult thing in a criminal case is to prove that the deceased committed suicide...especially when there is a lack of evidence.
There are a lot of evidences collected at the crime scene, but they may not be of much use... No, there is another way.
(Reverse my thoughts. Since I have no way to prove that Mizuguchi Kana is not a suspect.)
(Then I will prove that all other witnesses are suspects and gain time to investigate during the recess.)
(There is only one thing left to do now... that is to get other [witnesses] to appear in court.)
The black magician here was still thinking, but on the other side, Guiyue Liuyun had already spoken bluntly.
"A jester in a circus is only a jester after all, and any speculation is only speculation."
"The courtroom is about evidence. Detective tactics won't work!"
"Now, the defense lawyer has nothing more to say. Your Honor, you may issue the verdict."
"After all, there was no second suspect at the crime scene."
The chief judge nodded and was about to bring down the gavel.
But I saw the magical magic wand stood up again.
call out!
"I don't agree with that. There was no second suspect at the crime scene?"
"No, there is clearly a second suspect at the crime scene, or even a third one!"
The words of the black magician Virgil immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
It was obvious that Mizuguchi Kana was the only one on the scene who had time to commit the crime, so where did the second and third suspects come from?
Could it be that the defense lawyer has really started talking nonsense just as Prosecutor Guiyue Liuyun said?
At this moment, not only Akasawa Osamu and Aoki Chinatsu at the witness stand were confused. Even Kigetsu Ryuun at the prosecutor's seat was also surprised.
But immediately, he reacted and slammed the table.
"You said there are second and third suspects. Please point them out."
"But don't forget, if you make random accusations... you will end up like that old lawyer!"
Guiyue Liuyun's words did not make Xiang Yuanguang hesitate at all.
If he loses his lawyer medal, the worst that can happen is that he takes another exam. If he fails, he can just go to the bar and play poker.
But if I don't send you, Old Deng, in jail, I'll feel very unhappy!
"I know what to do better than you! Ghost Moon, the circus is still waiting for you to perform!"
"I think there are loopholes in Prosecutor Guiyue's statement. He did not explain the defendant's motive for committing the crime."
"Besides, if the defendant had murdered someone and set up the secret room, she would not have been able to judge the time when the housekeeper and the master would return."
"In this case, according to common sense, can the defendant really let go of the unfinished crime scene with peace of mind, and then return to the living room and quietly wait for the butler and the owner to return?"
"As long as these doubts exist, this case will never be concluded satisfactorily. Prosecutor Guiyue, what do you think?"
Poker cards appeared in Xiang Yuanguang's hand again, this time, there were two of them.
He casually threw out two poker cards and placed them on the witness stand.
The cards on the cards also do not have the original pattern, but photos of two people.
Heart K, Kensho Yamamoto, owner of Lavender Villa.
Spade King, the housekeeper of Lavender Villa, Renzo Kotani.
"Now, I request that Kotani Renzo and Yamamoto Kensho appear in court as witnesses to testify."
"I guess if they don't show up, you can't explain their motives...right?"
"At that time, I will explain what I said before..."
The black magician's words immediately made Guiyue Liuyun narrow his eyes.
This bastard is really annoying, yes, his case.
Not only does it have to be solved, but it also has to be solved beautifully, so that it can serve as a stepping stone.
If there are doubts, the story will end hastily, allowing the black magician to stir up public opinion.
The case that could have been used for promotion would also lose its original meaning.
"Hehe, alright, then I'll make sure you fail completely and sincerely."
"I have to tell you in advance, if your testimony against the other suspects is untenable..."
"You and your messy magic props will get out of the courtroom!"
Guiyue Liuyun sneered and looked at the presiding judge.
"Now, let the witness, Renzo Kotani, appear in court and explain the defendant's motives in this case."
"Then please ask witness Kensho Yamamoto to be ready to answer questions during the Q&A period."
"Ah, this... is good."
The chief judge nodded and banged the gavel.
"Please ask the bailiff to go to the lounge, and ask Lavender Villa's housekeeper, Kotani Renzo, to appear in court as a witness in this case!"
(Okay, now the situation is open.)
The corners of Xiang Yuanguang's mouth curled up slightly.
Naruhodō's teacher, Ms. Chihiro Ayazato, once said.
If you believe that your client is innocent, then the testimony of others, no matter how true it is, is irrelevant.
That must also be false, and only by destroying it can we find the final truth.
(Let me show you the power of my heart lock and logic chess!)
