Chapter 343 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal
Chapter 343 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (58)
...These three possibilities can indeed be ruled out.
Previously, the possibility of suicide in Hiroki Yokoyama's death could be ruled out from the moment the mechanism of the death bed of nails was discovered.
It’s just that Xiang Yuanguang is accustomed to refuting each point one by one when reasoning and then presenting the final evidence.
However, this can only mean that the deceased was murdered by a third party.
"I want to ask, Attorney Gu Meimen, do you have evidence to prove that it was Kujuku Genkang who did it?"
"If not, this can only mean that there is something else going on in the death of Keisuke Tsuruoka three years ago."
"But it cannot be directly proved that it was Kujuku Motoyasu who murdered Tsuruoka Keisuke."
Kujo Reiko's words were very calm, but they were irrefutable.
That’s right, the evidence on Gu Meimen’s side also cannot prove that the deceased was murdered by a specific person.
Hearing this, the legendary lawyer narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was about to directly rebuke Kujo Reiko.
The key to this case also lies in the witness of the last magic accident case that was merged into one case————
That is Kinoshita Sakura, the younger sister of Kinoshita Yoshiro fourteen years ago, now named Miyoshi Asako.
That guy became a disciple of Jiujiu Yuankang, and if they work together, they will definitely be able to provide useful new evidence.
Before that, although he still had evidence to produce, now was obviously not the right time.
But at this moment, Xiang Yuanguang slapped the table with both hands and stood up.
"Since Attorney Kumimon has proven that Keisuke Tsuruoka has a hidden agenda, let me continue."
"The death of Takezawa Teruo eight years ago does not require any additional explanation, just take a look at the magic props."
"It can be directly concluded that Takezawa Teruo's death was definitely not an accident."
Can you draw a conclusion just by looking at the magic props?
Is the case of Teruo Takezawa really that simple?
The young prosecutor was startled out of her own review.
She looked at Xiang Yuanguang standing in the defense seat with some surprise.
When the presiding judge heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.
"Lawyer Kumimon, if you have evidence that proves that Kujuku Motoyasu committed the crime, please present it now."
"If you can't bring it up, then let's put it aside for now and wait until Attorney Xiang Yuan has finished presenting the evidence."
After the bald old man made the decision, Gu Meimen was speechless.
After all, the person you can't offend the most in a courtroom is the presiding judge.
The prosecutor can only say that he has the right to speak, but the presiding judge has the right to decide.
The final decision on any case is made by the presiding judge sitting in the main seat.
The legendary lawyer shook his head and went straight back to his seat.
The owner of magic venue D and the two magic girls also left the testimony desk and took the witness stand.
Of the four magic venue owners in the dock, only half are now gone.
The next person to take the stand was the owner of magic venue B.
That is the owner of the abandoned magic venue.
He no longer cared about magic, magic venues, or magic accidents.
If it weren't for the evidence from the Tokyo Supreme Court, the boss wouldn't even know that the case had been reopened.
"Then please tell us your previous identity, your current identity, and your relationship to this case."
The presiding judge banged the gavel and asked.
"I am the owner of Magic Venue B. I used to be, but now... that magic venue has been abandoned."
"If you want to count it, then it does count. Now I run a hotel in town."
The owner of magic venue B looks ordinary and there is nothing special about him.
Among the four magic venue owners who were summoned, he was the one who cared the least.
Since he doesn't even work in magic anymore, how can any negative news affect him?
Hearing this, the presiding judge nodded thoughtfully and asked.
"Just now, Prosecutor Kujo said that the magic trick performed by the deceased was [Coffin Escape]. Is that true?"
Isn't this obviously nonsense? How could the prosecutor lie to you?
The owner of Magic Venue B and Prosecutor Kujo looked up at the bald old man at the same time. They seemed to be a little bit unbelievable about the reaction of the chief judge.
But in the end, the owner of magic venue B nodded and said something difficult to say.
"Yes, [Coffin Escape] uses a real coffin with nails nailed in the four corners."
"Then use a crane to pour soil from below, burying the coffin in the glass wall in one go."
"The glass walls on all four sides are made of good materials. They won't crack under the pressure of soil and are difficult to break."
If the quality of your glass wasn't so good, the rescuers wouldn't have to use a shovel to dig it out.
Xiang Yuanguang on the defense bench complained in his heart.
Hearing this, the young prosecutor flipped through the documents in her hand.
I am somewhat dissatisfied with this obviously incomplete information.
If she were to come in person, she would at least check all the magic props backstage at the magic venue.
(These materials are so thin, there is no sense of security at all!)
Kizuki Hotaru took out the case materials related to the case of magician Teruo Takezawa separately.
She glanced at it and then spoke.
"We have roughly understood the situation. The magic assistant should be waiting in the lounge at that time."
"If you remember the details of the magic show, please describe it."
"If you don't remember, can you please ask the magic assistant at that time to testify?"
I feel sad that prosecutors now accept junior high school students.
The owner of magic venue B shook his head and added.
"I was packing up magic props backstage at the magic venue and didn't see the performance."
The implication is that he didn’t know what the magic show was like at the time——————
"Wait a minute, I would like you to describe the situation backstage at the magic venue at that time."
Xiang Yuanguang suddenly realized the key point and stopped Gui Yueying's behavior.
Before the trial, he had never found the owner of magic venue B or the magic assistant.
So he had no idea what these two would say in court, but now it seems...
It seems to be worthwhile to learn more about.
The owner of magic venue B was a little surprised when he was called, but he still answered Xiang Yuanguang's question.
"Because the magicians at the front of the program will send the magic props directly to the backstage."
"So I went backstage to sort out and arrange the magic props used by the magicians."
"It wasn't until a familiar-looking kid ran backstage that I knew Takezawa Teruo had died."
"Because I'm the mainstay of Magic Venue B in Takezawa Teruo's plan, so I know a little bit about magic."
He thought about it, then said uncertainly.
"The location of the coffin was specially planned, and there is a secret door prepared underneath."
"When the earth covers the coffin, you can't tell if the person inside is struggling."
"The magic assistant on the stage presses the switch prepared in advance to open the secret door on the surface of the stage."
"Then Takezawa Teruo followed the secret passage to the backstage, and then walked from the backstage to the planned platform."
"That's about it... Oh, by the way, there is a mechanism on the back of the coffin that can be opened."
"It's just a little smaller than the space left for the secret door on the stage."
"There is nothing else."
It seems that this incident has also had a profound impact on the owner of magic venue B.
At least he didn't care as much as he appeared to, otherwise he wouldn't remember it so clearly.
And the time he spends backstage at the magic venue means that it is time for Jiujiu Yuankang to make some moves.
At least some time before Teruo Takezawa's performance?
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin, thoughtfully.
