Chapter 211 Reversal of Lavender
Chapter 211 Reversal of Lavender (12)
The black magician's words caused the whole audience to be in an uproar again.
This kind of evidence has nothing to do with the case at first glance.
Is it really possible to link it to the present case in just one explanation?
"First of all, this piece of evidence was found in the fireplace of Lavender Villa by Inspector Akazawa and I."
"Because it was present at the crime scene, it is inextricably linked to this case."
"And this is the evidence I submitted to the police a day ago."
"Although I am curious why the judge was completely unaware of this, it doesn't matter..."
The Black Magician snapped his fingers.
The Nero doll and the steel right arm that were originally in Koshimizu Nanatsuki's hands flew back instantly.
The body was retracted into the black magician's cloak.
The next moment, Virgil grabbed one end of the black magic cloak with one hand and rolled it up violently.
In full view of everyone, he disappeared from the defense seat in an instant.
"How, how did this happen? Is there any mechanism in the courtroom?"
Someone in the audience spoke in surprise.
In response, another person shook his head and said.
"Not necessarily. It could be that they are performing magic in the guise of magic."
"I remember there was a magician named Kidd in Tokyo who could walk in the air."
Hearing such discussions, the two bailiffs standing at the door couldn't help but sweat on their foreheads.
The salary assessment, which was already low, increased after this performance.
I'm afraid it will continue to decline, which is simply unjust.
You can't just pull the wool out of a sheep. Can you wait until the next batch of bailiffs take over before performing?
Just as everyone was looking at the defense seat, Xiang Yuanguang had already appeared in front of the testimony desk.
Jia Gu Liansan was so frightened that he took two steps back and almost collapsed to the ground. The 58-year-old man was frightened to death.
"Mr. Kotani Renzo, I know what you are thinking and what you are trying to hide."
"But I tell you, language is a sharp sword. If you don't use it well, it will cost someone's life."
“Silence is an invisible poison, and the danger it brings is no less than the sharpness of words.”
The black magician spoke coldly to Kotani Renzo.
He is completely different from his previous cool look.
Standing behind the testimony stand, Kotani Renzo couldn't help but swallow.
Although the Black Magician appeared in front of him, he did not see the Black Magician at all...
How did he move? It was as ridiculous as teleportation.
"That's enough, defense attorney. What you just said only proves that the evidence is relevant to this case."
"But you have to do more than that. You also have to explain the relationship between this evidence and Kotani Renzo's testimony."
Guiyue Liuyun slammed the table at this moment and said with a sneer.
"Don't forget, you are presenting this evidence in response to Kotani Renzo's testimony."
"If you can't explain this, I will also ask the presiding judge to get you out of the courtroom."
"I will let you, a jester in the circus, know that this is a court of justice, not your playground!"
My playground? Oh, now it seems to be your playground, right?
Xiang Yuanguang sneered helplessly.
He knew why Guiyue Liuyun did not resort to too many vile tactics in this trial.
There is only one obvious reason - worry about his public opinion tactics.
If negative news about abuse of power appears at the critical moment of promotion to director, your career will be over, right?
The black magician snapped his fingers, and a rolled-up piece of paper instantly appeared in his hand.
In front of everyone, he unceremoniously opened the note and projected it.
The information on this note was what he got from Mizuguchi Kana in the police station interrogation room a day ago. The content projected was as follows——————
[I don’t have a very good relationship with the young lady, although the housekeeper often asks me to chat with her…]
[But I was the one who got scolded almost all the time, because the eldest lady's temper changed a lot, sometimes she was gentle...]
[…Sometimes he gets really irritable, and even quarrels with the housekeeper, arguing about things…]
[When they are arguing, they will let me go back first, and the next day they will return to their original state...]
[So, in my opinion, the young lady on the day of the incident was no different from usual...]
The presiding judge looked at the projected content and shook his head.
He could not see any connection between this text and the case.
It is even harder to tell what the text has to do with the evidence just presented by the black magician.
Then, the presiding judge snorted coldly and started to ask.
"So, this is what the defense attorney is going to bring up to explain the relationship between the evidence and the case?"
"This passage can at most prove that the witness's testimony is true. Apart from that..."
"It doesn't explain anything, and it has nothing to do with the evidence you presented earlier!"
"…It has nothing to do with the evidence I presented? That's wrong. Absolutely wrong."
The red joker card appeared in the black magician's hand again.
The poker danced lightly in the magician's hands, and he spoke bluntly.
"This is the testimony and statement that the defendant made to me in the interrogation room earlier."
"Its authenticity can be corroborated by the police officer guarding the interrogation room at the time."
"Your Honor, if you look carefully, you will notice one thing——"
Notice something...?
The judge looked at the text again, but still understood nothing.
He shook his head and asked.
"Defense attorney, tell me, what is it?"
At this moment, Gui Yue Liu Yun, who was standing in the prosecutor's seat, had already realized what the black magician was going to say next.
This passage can be said to have an overwhelming destructive power against Kotani Renzo's testimony.
The only sentences that can prove that the medicine bottle is related to this case are undoubtedly the third and fourth sentences...
"The answer is right there on the puzzle. Please look at the third and fourth sentences of this statement."
"The deceased would often argue with witnesses, debate things, and would ask the accused to recuse himself."
"And the content of this matter is inseparable from this piece of evidence!"
The Black Magician snapped his fingers.
He presented the piece of evidence again - the evidence [the remains of the medicine bottle that were not completely burned].
"Yes, this is the piece of evidence they are arguing about."
"To be precise, it is what was inside the medicine bottle before it was burned."
At this moment, the whole audience was in an uproar.
What was inside the medicine bottle before it was burned?
If it were any other container, you might still wonder what it contained, but what else can a medicine bottle contain?
Then it can only be drugs? What kind of drugs can make the young lady and the housekeeper quarrel endlessly?
"That's enough! That's enough! Don't say any more!"
At the testimony stand, Kaguya Renzo's face changed drastically, he could no longer remain silent.
From this moment on, he was certain that the Black Magician had mastered the secret he was meant to protect.
And in fact... Xiang Yuanguang had already grasped this point long before the trial began.
"The contents of the medicine bottle are...psychoactive drugs!"
The black magician said this bluntly with his back to Kotani Renzo.
This immediately made Jia Gu Liansan's heart fall to the bottom.
It's over. Everything is over.
