Chapter 389: Great Reversal Attorney is a Strange Thing!
Chapter 389: Great Reversal Attorney... No Way! (End)
Of course, a detective cannot be a profession that takes human life lightly and kills and robs people.
Sherlock Holmes is definitely not such a person, and having such fans...it's really bad luck for Sherlock Holmes.
Conan, who was still in the room of Maori's office, shook his head and sighed secretly.
He is also a fan of Conan Doyle's books and an absolute fan of Sherlock Holmes.
He absolutely detested Kento Toba's behavior.
If he met this guy at the crime scene, he would definitely use a high-powered football on him!
"Detective... that's not the case, that's not the case..."
Kento Toba lowered his head and whispered.
The black chess piece on his body had been broken into pieces, with only the last one left.
It was obvious that he had lost the reasoning competition in this trial, completely.
However, whether to lose or not is decided by one party.
It has nothing to do with any external evaluation criteria or factors.
The murderer who claimed to be a detective raised his head again and asked loudly.
"Since you said I was the murderer of Fujisawa Toshiaki, then how did I cut off the power supply at the scene?"
"If you had read the maid's statement, you would have known that I never went near the kitchen!"
Really tenacious... but it's not something to brag about.
Xiang Yuanguang stared at Kento Toba, and the next moment, a strong wind was howling.
Word bullet, fire!
"A pound of pears! You are just saying what you want to say!"
"The power went out in the kitchen because the maid went to make coffee and switched on the coffee pot."
"And the reason the coffee pot turned on and caused the Mycroft Hotel to lose power was because there was something wrong with the socket that the coffee pot was plugged into."
"You tied a piece of wire to the socket of the coffee pot, and the wire was taken from the label of the coffee bag."
"As long as we find your fingerprints on the coffee bag, your claim that you never went near the kitchen will be proven wrong."
He snapped his fingers at Yuan Guang.
The next moment, the door of the third courtroom was pushed open, and Takagi Wataru and Shiratori Nisaburo appeared.
At this moment, Takagi Wataru held up the identification report and coffee bag label in his hand.
Let everyone see the final moment when the final decisive evidence in this case arrives.
"The defense is requesting the submission of new evidence [the coffee bag labels from the Mycroft Hotel]."
"Also, [fingerprint identification report on the coffee bag labels in the Mycroft Hotel]."
"Mr. Judge, based on your reasoning and the evidence, the facts of Fujisawa Toshiaki's case have become clear, right?"
Xiang Yuanguang turned his head and looked at the bald old man sitting in the main seat.
The presiding judge nodded, believing that there was no need to continue the trial of this case.
But at this moment, Prosecutor Sugiura suddenly spoke.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, we can't close the case just yet. We are still lacking one of the most important factors for conviction."
"Huh? What's the most important factor for conviction? Do we need the murderer to confess and sign a confession?"
Hattori Heiji said impatiently that he felt there was no need to try this case.
The case process has been clarified and indicative evidence has been found. What else is missing?
If he had been at the first crime scene, the process of identifying the murderer would have been smooth.
It's nothing like the situation now, where after searching the process, we have to find evidence, and after finding the evidence, we still have to be harassed by the prosecutor!
Of course, Hattori Heiji had no idea what Prosecutor Sugiura was talking about.
However, Xiang Yuanguang understood what he meant and realized that an important factor for conviction was indeed missing here.
That is the motive. If there is no motive, it is impossible to convict for the time being.
However, Kento Toba's motive for committing the crime is so outrageous that it would only make sense if he said it himself.
Tick, tick, tick.
Xiang Yuanguang came to the front of the testimony stand and looked at Toba Kento who had broken through his defense.
His hands slammed on the table. The loud noise woke Toba Kento up from his frustration.
The murderer who claimed to be a detective stared at Xiang Yuanguang.
"What else do you want to say? Don't you know everything?"
The legendary lawyer who never told a lie nodded.
The next moment, he directly broke through Kento Toba's defense.
"You say, what would Sherlock Holmes think if he knew that his admirer actually killed someone because of his scandal?"
"Will he be so angry that he'll perform a Barton trick with his cane and smash your dog's head in?"
Hearing this, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Even Conan, who was listening to the news through the special headphones in Genkou's pocket, was a little surprised.
No, there are other experts? From this, it seems that Kento Toba's motive for committing the crime is outrageous?
When Jiujiu Yuankang committed the crime before, Xiang Yuanguang used indirect methods and even personal testimony to determine the motive.
And now he obviously began to hint at it, trying to get the murderer to reveal his motive himself.
(Sherlock Holmes' scandal? Which one? None of them would be murderous, right?)
Conan thought to himself.
Hattori Heiji was thinking about how his reasoning was wrong again.
(Could it be that Kento Toba didn’t kill Kanaya Hiroyuki because of his research on the bloody book…)
(Did he want to kill Oki Ayako and Fujisawa Toshiaki who discovered the incident together in order to cover up the truth about Kanaya Hiroyuki's death?)
"W-What are you talking about!? That's not a gossip, that's slander!"
"It's a slander on Holmes's reputation! You wouldn't understand!"
Kento Toba was furious. He pointed at Minamoto and shouted angrily.
"Irene Adler is the only woman Holmes recognizes, and she should recognize Holmes too!"
"How could she possibly laugh at Sherlock Holmes? This is clearly a distortion of the original work!"
"I absolutely cannot tolerate such behavior! Even if Holmes knew about it, he would support me!"
Such extreme words make people wonder if this guy's mental state is not normal.
Xiang Yuanguang ignored all this. He turned around, glanced at Prosecutor Sugiura, and then said.
"The defense requests the submission of a new exhibit - The Ridicule of Irene Adler."
"This book was jointly published by the deceased, Hiroyuki Kanaya, and the victim, Toshiaki Fujisawa."
"Your Excellency the Judge, did you also hear Toba Kento's ghostly howling just now?"
"The motive, process, method and time of this serial murder case have been made clear."
"As the person who is the most likely suspect in all three cases, I think there is no possibility that he will not be convicted."
"Yes, in the opinion of this court, it is just as the defense has said."
The presiding judge nodded, agreeing with Xiang Yuanguang's statement.
But just before making the final judgment, he saw Xiang Yuanguang grab his demon hunting knife.
I was horrified and just as I was about to dissuade him, I saw a sharp knife flash by——————
Although there was actually nothing, Kento Toba felt a phantom pain as if he had just been [cut open]!
He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground with a dazed look on his face, and no longer mentioned Irene Adler and Sherlock Holmes.
"Why are you so nervous? I just... turned off the background music."
Xiang Yuanguang pressed the button on the handle of the Demon Hunting Sword, and the BGM in the courtroom finally disappeared.
At this moment, everyone realized that the BGM that had been playing just now was not the new ability of Master Xiang Yuan.
Rather, it is his magic prop that looks like a samurai sword but is actually a sound product!
The presiding judge was helpless and could only lift the gavel and smash it down hard.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
"The facts of this case are clear, and the sentencing trial for Kento Toba will take place soon."
"Now, this court declares that the defendant in this case, Kawazu Yuo——————"
【Not guilty】
