Chapter 226 Reversal of Lavender (17)

This time, the presiding judge did not ask whether either party was ready.

Just by looking at the extremely confident looks on both sides, you can tell that both sides are fully prepared.

Then the presiding judge fiddled with his silver wig and spoke.

"Prosecutor, have you completed the task assigned to you before the court adjourned yesterday?"

"Please show us the results of your investigation after yesterday's recess!"

Guiyue Liuyun didn't say anything, but snapped his fingers.

He pointed at the black magician at the defense table and gave a sarcastic smile.

"After the court adjourned, the police re-searched the crime scene and found a number of evidences."

"And these pieces of evidence, without exception, point to the defendant's guilt."

"Now, the prosecutor requests that the detective in charge of this case, Akazawa Osamu, appear in court to explain."

Did you search the crime scene again? Did you find some evidence?
Isn't this just a lie? What kind of appearance have I made of Lavender Villa...

How could I, who was there in person, not know?
Xiang Yuanguang shook his head speechlessly.

I only regret that I didn’t take some photos at the crime scene after collecting the evidence, so that I could use the evidence to slap him in the face.

Next time, next time I must bring a digital camera with me and take pictures of whatever I can.

"Virgil, the other party might use perjury... Are you ready to break his argument?"

Nanatsuki Koshimizu had also changed into a magic cloak at some point, she said in a low voice.

When mentioning this, Xiang Yuanguang raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

“I am the storm that is approaching.”

"It's not me who should be prepared, but my opponents...they should be prepared."

Crunch——————

The door of the courtroom was pushed open.

The next two to enter the courtroom were a pair of criminals from the Shikoku region.

Inspector Akasawa Osamu and police officer Aoki Chinatsu.

In Xiang Yuanguang's impression, these two people can be said to be inseparable.

It's hard to imagine that they are just a simple superior-subordinate relationship, perhaps they are more like a couple.

But none of this matters. What matters is the testimony they will give and the evidence they will submit.

"I am the detective in charge of this case, Akasawa Osamu, and next to me is my partner, police officer Aoki Chinatsu."

"During yesterday's secondary investigation and evidence collection, we found some new evidence."

"Moreover, from these pieces of evidence, the defendant's criminal process was completed..."

"Now, please allow me to testify and submit the newly acquired evidence to the court."

This time, Akasawa Osamu did not have the gorilla temperament he had before.

He seemed quite calm, which surprised Xiang Yuanguang.

Was the impulsiveness before just an act, or is this just another disguise?
Regardless, the judge has already brought down the gavel.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

The whole audience's attention was on the presiding judge, who spoke seriously.

"Well, now, please allow Detective Akazawa to explain to us the new evidence and the improved inferences we have obtained."

【————Regarding the testimony obtained from the investigation and evidence collection————-】

[Testimony begins]

"After yesterday's trial, we realized the lack and insufficiency of the chain of evidence."

“Therefore, we went to the crime scene and conducted a secondary search to collect evidence.”

"We found the tool the defendant used to dismantle the window - a screwdriver with her fingerprints." "In addition, we found a shopping receipt for a screwdriver purchased a few days ago in the defendant's room."

"Also, there was glue with the defendant's fingerprints, which matched the glue used on the edge of the window at the crime scene."

"Therefore, it can be inferred that on the day of the incident, within an hour of the butler and the master leaving, the defendant..."

"Use these props to remove the windows and kill the victim, and then use special techniques to create a secret room."

“The above is brand new information obtained by the police after a secondary investigation.”

[End of testimony]

After Akazawa Osamu finished speaking, he took out the evidence bag that Aoki Chinatsu was carrying.

Take out the evidence bag containing various pieces of evidence and show it to everyone in the courtroom.

"These are the brand new pieces of evidence that the police have found through their search."

"In the first trial, we overlooked the evidence about the window ... so we are supplementing it."

"Mr. Judge, may the court accept these evidences?"

Hearing these words, the presiding judge nodded.

There is no need to look at Guiyue Liuyun's attitude, this is already on the list of evidence given by Guiyue Liuyun.

He banged the gavel and spoke.

"Then this court will accept these new pieces of evidence presented by the police."

(The exhibit [the screwdriver with Mizuguchi Chana's fingerprints] has been added to the court record.)
(Exhibit [most of the glue used] has been added to the court record.)
(The exhibit [the cut-off screw head] has been added to the court record.)
(The exhibit [the shopping mall purchase receipt] has been added to the court record.)
Seeing this, Xiang Yuanguang couldn't help but squint his eyes.

The other party clearly wanted to prove that the window in the deceased's room was removed by Kana Mizuguchi.

And this strategic direction was obviously correct, as it was once proved that the windows of the room had been removed by Kana Mizuguchi.

Then, the murderer can almost be directly identified as Kana Mizuguchi.

Because she had no legitimate reason to completely dismantle a window and falsify the scene.

(However, these evidences are false, and as long as they are false, there is room for refutation.)
(The person who removed the window was Hiroo Tsuchio, there is no doubt about that... there are definitely loopholes in his testimony.)
"Your Honor, the situation is now very clear, there is no need to review it further."

Guiyue Liuyun hugged his elbows with both hands and tapped his upper arm lightly with the fingers of one hand.

He said with a sneer, putting forward the prosecutor's hypothesis.

"These evidences prove that the person who removed the window was the defendant, Kana Mizuguchi."

"Excuse me, under what circumstances do you need to remove an entire window instead of opening it?"

"That's right. You shouldn't do this under any circumstances, unless you are creating a murder chamber."

Lao Deng slapped the table.

"Mizuguchi Kana left one hour after the butler Kotani Renzo and the owner of the Lavender Villa, Yamamoto Kensho, left..."

"The victim, Eri Yamamoto, was killed by removing the window, and then props were used to create a murder chamber."

"Finally, I returned to the villa and pretended to be doing housework..."

"That's the whole truth."

The people in the gallery couldn't help but burst into an uproar.

The logic is simple, if it wasn't you who killed the person, why would you create a secret room?
If it wasn't for the purpose of killing people, then what was the reason for creating the secret room?
Hearing the noise from the gallery, the presiding judge also nodded.

If you think about it from this perspective, the truth of the case should indeed be like this.

"Well, it's time to announce the final result—"

"I beg to differ!"

The black magician took out a small blower from somewhere and placed it on the table.

The next moment, a strong wind blew up, making everyone's hair messy.

"The defense... has not yet conducted [inquiries]! It is not in accordance with judicial procedures to make a decision now!"
