Chapter 422: Reversal of Mask
Chapter 422: Reversal of Mask (10)
Fortunately, Toshimitsu Tsujimura was in good health and was not angry to death.
Ten minutes later, he returned to the courtroom trembling and stood behind the testimony desk.
He already looked like he was being obedient and begging for forgiveness.
Tsujimura Laodeng said with a sigh and some sadness.
"Well, that's right, just like Lawyer Xiang Yuan said, I am indeed not the real murderer in this case."
"I originally wanted to lie to fill in the gaps left by the previous lies, but I didn't expect that the gaps would become larger and larger..."
This answer was already expected by everyone.
After all, all the supplementary testimonies given by Toshimitsu Tsujimura in response were refuted.
If he was the real murderer, he wouldn't need so much time to think and answer.
This would not be the case unless the lie was intended to conceal something and mislead the court.
The presiding judge nodded slightly. At this point, he also knew who Xiang Yuanguang believed the murderer was.
That's right, that person is still in the lounge of the First Courtroom, completely unaware of the situation here...
Kimie Tsujimura, the daughter-in-law of Toshimitsu Tsujimura and the diplomat who testified against Toshimitsu Tsujimura.
In the final analysis, there are only two people who can be considered suspects in this case.
If Toshimitsu Tsujimura is ruled out, then the only possible person is Kimie Tsujimura.
The presiding judge of the First Court lowered the gavel.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Well, now that the defendant has explained everything he knows, please return to the dock."
"If it goes against our expectations, the murderer that Attorney Xiang Yuan will testify next..."
"Is it the key witness of this court, Tsujimura Kimie?"
Behind the testimony desk, Toshimitsu Tsujimura returned to the dock with the help of the bailiff.
Hearing the presiding judge's words, I couldn't help but sigh again, thinking to myself that I had done my best.
It’s not that my father-in-law is not competent, it’s that the other party’s lawyer can use magic!
pat.
He snapped his fingers lightly, and a smile appeared on Yuan Guang's lips.
There is no need to ask this question anymore, the final candidate is obvious——————
Ultimately, the members of the Silver Star Special Investigation Task Force did not appear in court as witnesses.
There were only two witnesses relevant to the case in this court from beginning to end.
(It's like reversing Tsujimura Toshimitsu's words: "If it's not Tsujimura Toshimitsu, then it can only be her.")
The blue hedgehog stated bluntly.
"That's right, the defense is here to testify against the real murderer of the case - Tsujimura Kimie!"
"The real murderer who colluded with others to make Toshimitsu Tsujimura confess in order to escape punishment and poisoned Tsujimura Isao with cyanide!"
Hearing this, the presiding judge no longer wasted time, but raised the gavel and slammed it down!
"The court now invites the witness in this case, Kimie Tsujimura, to enter the courtroom to testify!"
Crunch——————
The door of the courtroom was immediately pushed open.
Two bailiffs walked out of the door and headed towards the lounge of the first trial court.
Takayoshi Tsujimura and Sachiko Katsuragi, who were sitting in the audience, were actually feeling a little nervous at the moment.
Although they are not biological siblings, it is okay to say that they are siblings in the secular sense.
But why did Tsujimura Kimie reject the idea of his daughter, Katsuragi Sachiko, marrying Tsujimura Takayoshi?
Why she poisoned her husband Tsujimura Isao and framed her father-in-law Tsujimura Toshimitsu is still a mystery.
And now the best way to figure it all out is——————
It was in the trial that this sharp defense lawyer broke through all defenses and found the final truth!
Tick, tick, tick.
The footsteps came closer and closer, and the next moment they arrived outside the door of the First Courtroom.
Two bailiffs pushed the door open, and then another witness in the case appeared.
A middle-aged woman dressed in somewhat old-fashioned clothes and with a serious expression.
If he didn't know the other person's age, Xiang Yuanguang might have upgraded the adjective from "woman" to "grandmother".
Oh, the adjective may also change from "grandma" to "lao deng".
"What's wrong? Is there anything else in this case that requires me to testify?"
"I remember the police told me that my father-in-law's testimony constituted a crime."
Dressed in black, Tsujimura Kimie looked at the presiding judge sternly.
The blond judge subconsciously sat up to avoid losing face in front of the witness.
However, the presiding judge might feel embarrassed, but Xiang Yuanguang would not.
Although as a defense lawyer, he is no longer a pauper after receiving money from the Kudo couple.
But the soul of the poor lawyer of the past is still burning brightly at this moment!
"So what if it's a crime? When a court makes a judgment, it's based on hard evidence!"
"Tsujimura Kimie, the defense requires you to testify about the circumstances of the day of the crime!"
The blue hedgehog said loudly as he slammed the table.
However, Tsujimura Kimie seemed somewhat disdainful of the hedgehog lawyer who had lost face.
His gaze turned to the somewhat embarrassed Kogoro Mouri at the defense assistant seat.
The middle-aged woman said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.
"Detective Maori, didn't I hire you to investigate the matter concerning Katsuragi Sachiko?"
"How did you investigate and end up at the defense table in the courtroom?"
"Are you still going to say that I, your employer, am guilty?"
Uncle Mori felt a little embarrassed when faced with the questioning from Kimie Tsujimura.
But to be honest, he didn't think he was the one who was unreasonable.
My buddy is just a detective you hired to investigate, not your assassin or relative or friend.
You've committed a serious crime, and I'm still helping you? Then I'm going to go to jail with you, right? Who do you think you are?
Kogoro Mori responded decisively.
"Whether someone is guilty or not is up to the presiding judge to decide. I am just a lawyer's assistant."
"But, according to my reasoning as the famous detective Maori Kogoro... the murderer of this case..."
"In all likelihood, it's you, the wife of the deceased Tsujimura Isao!"
Xiang Yuanguang, who had his hands on his hips, was looking very proud.
At this moment his face suddenly froze, and he turned his head stiffly to look at Uncle Maori.
Uncle Maori didn't know what shocking words he was saying and was still full of confidence.
(…Uncle Maori actually said that Tsujimura Kimie was the murderer in this case?)
(Hasn’t he already said that Tsujimura Toshimitsu was the murderer, thus ruling him out?)
(Now they are ruling out Tsujimura Kimie? Is there another murderer in this case?)
Xiang Yuanguang's gaze froze slightly.
He remembered what Hattori Heiji said at the intelligence exchange meeting between detectives yesterday.
[The one who killed Habri Liebnand and the one who killed the members of the Silver Star Special Investigation Team. ]
[They should be the same group of people. ]
[I know the murderers were the same group of people because I saw the same people.]
(That Kudo Shinichi couldn't possibly be the real Kudo Shinichi. He could only be someone pretending to be him.)
(First of all, Kudo Yukiko and Kudo Yusaku are still in the United States, so it is impossible for them to come back at this time.)
(Kaito Kidd is even less likely to do that. Kuroba Kaito is currently struggling with the homework he has missed in the past few days.)
(It can't be Vermouth? But how could Vermouth come to remind Hattori Heiji?)
The blue hedgehog's eyes narrowed slightly.
(I saw the same person... If it was really Vermouth, then the murderer might be Gin.)
(In that case, I might as well report Gin's limited edition classic car and let Dante check it out.)
