Chapter 340 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal
Chapter 340 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (55)
So, the question arises, since Keisuke Tsuruoka is able to leave the tank freely.
He shouldn't have drowned because he couldn't get out of the tank.
Is it really suicide in this way...?
This conclusion will make others laugh when they speak it out.
If you want to die, you can die the first time. Why wait until the second time when the black veil is lifted?
Could it be that the reason he didn't die the first time was to create the illusion that his magic was successful?
The second death was to highlight the effect of his own show?
A magician's life is just a show? This is not what a normal human being thinks.
He's just like a mental patient who escaped from Arkham Asylum in Gotham City next door.
The presiding judge immediately reached a conclusion regarding what Gu Meimen had previously claimed: the deceased did not commit suicide.
Regardless of the two conclusions, the accident or the murder by the magic assistant, it was definitely not suicide...
The old man's eyes suddenly became serious, thinking that this was a city of sin even more serious than Gotham City next door.
There was an extreme case in the past where a man who loved Yoko Okino so much that he ran to her house and pretended to be killed by Yoko.
If the magician is also an extreme person with such clear and unique thinking, it is not impossible for him to do this.
Back to the topic, the magician Keisuke Tsuruoka in the video is obviously not dead at this time.
After the two magic assistants created a lot of atmosphere, they pulled the black cloth up again.
Then stand at both ends of the black cloth and wait for the normal time to pass.
At this time, the magic puppet of the Tribunal bent down again and grabbed the handle.
It was obvious that he was going to repeat his last action and leave the water tank to breathe.
But this time, something unexpected happened——————
The lid of the water tank, which is also the foot shackle, is now firmly fixed and cannot be moved at all.
Immediately, Kujo Reiko frowned and realized that something was wrong.
Since the first breathing was successful but the second failed, it could only be that there was something wrong with the props.
As to whether it was a simple magic accident, we will have to wait until the performance review is over to find out.
Everyone watched as the magic puppet reenacted the actions of the deceased Keisuke Tsuruoka.
Struggling, trying to survive, and finally standing still.
It was not until dozens of seconds after the magic puppet lost all movement that the cloth surrounding the water tank was pulled open.
The two magic assistants looked at this scene in horror.
Without caring about the spectators, he grabbed the lid of the water tank and tried to pull the two sides apart.
But I found that the water tank cover did not move at all, and the video recording stopped at this point.
"Excuse me, why did the video stop here? What exactly happened at that time?"
Prosecutor Kujo turned his head and looked at the owner of magic venue D who was sitting in the dock.
The boss, who looked a bit like a gangster, said with a wry smile.
"This was a performance video I wanted to use for promotion. I saw something was not right so I cut it off."
"Who would have thought that Keisuke Tsuruoka would die like this? Otherwise, I would have deleted the video directly."
…Although now that the magic has been cracked, video chat is better than nothing.
But it can improve the persuasiveness to some extent, so it cannot be said to be completely useless.
The hedgehog-haired lawyer standing at the defense table got a cup of coffee from somewhere.
He took a sip, held the coffee cup in his hand, and saw a glimmer of light reflected.
From the moment he entered the Great Court of Inquisition, the magatama hanging on his chest began to flicker with a faint light.
I don’t know the specific reason, but it doesn’t matter.
(After all, I can always just drive the spirit away if I don’t want to.)
Xiang Yuanguang was very confident. He held his cup of coffee and watched Gu Meimen's next performance.
"In the following situation, won't Prosecutor Kujo be able to look at his own case records himself?"
"Oh, yes, who told the police to be so vague in their records of the case?" "Oh, I really wronged you. After all, you are just a small prosecutor in this small area."
The legendary lawyer spoke bluntly, and Kujo Reiko's face turned dark.
With his mouth, he can only go out for a walk at noon in Beika Town - because something will happen sooner or later.
He just clapped his hands and spoke bluntly.
"I have already invited the two magic assistants in the video over, Mr. Judge."
"Can I ask them to appear as witnesses in this case?"
Without further ado, the presiding judge nodded, banged the gavel, and passed the case.
Anyway, Kujo Reiko at the prosecutor's seat didn't seem to want to talk, and Kizuki Hotaru had dull eyes and no one knew what she was thinking.
None of them would object to Gu Meimen's request to allow witnesses to appear in court——————
As for Xiang Yuanguang, the other defense player, it was even more impossible. He wouldn't attack his own teammate, right?
Although Hedgehog Head really did this thing in Benchitai, that was when the information was not exchanged.
Now that the two sides have exchanged information and have a completely cooperative relationship, there is no need for backstabbing at all.
Xiang Yuanguang took another sip of coffee.
From the video just now, he always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't tell exactly what it was.
(…It would be nice if Nanatsuki Koshimizu or Conan were here at this time.)
(The intuition of a detective is much stronger than that of a forceful lawyer like me.)
I sighed, it was my first day without the detectives around, I missed them.
Crunch——————
The door of the Grand Courtroom was pushed open.
The witnesses brought in by the bailiff were the two magic assistants who appeared in the video recording.
This was the magician invited by the owner of magic venue D at the time. She resigned after the incident.
In addition to coercion and bribery, Kumimon was able to get them to appear in court as witnesses.
Part of the reason is that they themselves feel indebted to Keisuke Tsuruoka.
Wait until the two magic girls stand on the testimony stand, one on the left and one on the right.
Gu Meimen simply took on the job of a prosecutor——————
"Two witnesses, please state your previous identities, current identities, and ages."
"And it is related to this case, so that it will be convenient for the trial to continue."
Prosecutor Kujo narrowed his eyes, looking somewhat unhappy.
She felt it was time for her to take back the initiative.
Because from this moment on, all four possible scenarios of the case have emerged.
The first is a simple magic accident, where the magic props fail to function properly when they enter the water for the second time.
The second is suicide. The magician was too depressed to create a good show effect and drowned in the water.
The magic puppet was just the defense's speculation and was not the actual crime situation at all.
The third type is murder by the magic assistant, where one of them deliberately tampered with the magic props beforehand, causing the magician to drown during the performance.
The fourth type is murder by a third party. The defense claims that Kyujuu Motoyasu modified the magic props, which eventually led to the magician's death.
Regardless of which of these four possibilities, the reasoning and evidence currently presented by the defense are not convincing enough.
In other words...it's time to fight back!
But Gui Yueying, who was sitting in the other prosecutor's seat, had no intention of questioning these questions.
She was not originally in charge of these cases, but was just there to make up the numbers as another prosecutor in the staggered trials.
Her pupils remained in a lifeless state without focus, precisely because she had begun to review the situation.
Like Xiang Yuanguang, Gui Yueying also felt that there was something wrong with the case here.
She had some guesses in her mind...for example, the possibility of murder by a third party might have been established.
The police three years ago were not the same old police from the old Ministry of Justice era.
Since the police have ruled out other possible cases that could be attributed to magic, then these suspects are most likely innocent...
