Chapter 424: Reversal of Mask (12)
【~Testimony about the whole process of the case~】
[Testimony begins]
"When my father-in-law and I were chatting at home, we talked about how Tsujimura Isao didn't come back even though it was his day off."
"So my father-in-law thought that Tsujimura Isao might have encountered some special situation and suggested that I take him to the diplomatic embassy to find him."
"But what we didn't expect was that when we arrived at the diplomatic embassy, there was more than one person inside."
"Afterwards, we entered the diplomatic embassy and greeted Tsujimura Isao, who motioned for me to make some tea."
"When the topic of tea was mentioned, my father-in-law became interested and took me to the kitchen to make tea.
"Then I went to organize the tea utensils in the kitchen. My father-in-law had been waiting by the teapot for the tea to be brewed."
"When I hear the tea boiling, I know it's time to take it out for the guests."
"After that, I went out of the kitchen with my father-in-law and saw that those people had finished their conversation."
"So my father-in-law asked me to pour the tea into the tea bowls of several people beside the tea table and let them drink it."
"But what I didn't expect was that the tea was poisonous, causing the death of the other four people."
"And then my father-in-law confessed his crime, and I realized that the tea was poisoned in the kitchen..."
"So I testified against my father-in-law, because if it wasn't him, it had to be me."
[End of testimony]
...It cannot be said that they are exactly the same, but only that they are extremely similar.
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin subconsciously, with a thoughtful expression.
This is obviously the testimony she used when she colluded with Toshimitsu Tsujimura.
The testimonies of the two are completely complementary, and there was no surveillance or other people entering the kitchen.
Therefore, the specific circumstances can only be inferred and supplemented based on the testimony of two witnesses.
(The only difference is that in Tsujimura Kimie's testimony, he was putting away the tea utensils while the tea was boiling.)
(In Tsujimura Toshimitsu's testimony, after the tea was boiled, Tsujimura Kimie came to the teapot, but was sent away by him.)
(The contradiction between the two seems to be only here... It's a bit difficult to deal with.)
The blue hedgehog was lost in thought.
However, Uncle Maori was already confident of victory, and his eyes suddenly changed.
"I already know the true face of this case!"
As soon as the famous detective from Tokyo opened his mouth, everyone was shocked.
While the main defense attorney Xiang Yuanguang was still thinking, Mao Li, the lawyer's assistant, had already got the answer.
Doesn't this mean that Kogoro Mori's strength is even greater than that of Genmi Mitsuki?
Dante narrowed his eyes and looked at Uncle Maori's appearance.
He always thought that this guy was just an ordinary confused detective who was just a little famous because of luck.
But now it seems that he is so confident that he may have obtained some correct information to complete his reasoning.
As expected, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Even a confused old man may show extraordinary strength!
One of the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department nodded repeatedly and spoke loudly.
"From the moment Mao Li joined the police force, I knew he could do it!"
"Look, he figured out the truth of the case faster than the lawyer next to him!"
"That lawyer should go away and let Mao Li be the main defense lawyer!"
The high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department nearby couldn't help but look dark.
Although Mao Li is your direct subordinate, his file and personality are not confidential.
Who here doesn't know that when Maori was in the police force, he didn't have any special skills except for marksmanship and fighting?
If Mao Li could show reasoning skills that matched his marksmanship, he would have been promoted by now.
Who would be willing to let such a famous criminal resign from the police force because of a robbery case? Who would be willing to do that?
Behind the testimony stand, Tsujimura Kimie's face darkened.
She took a step forward unconsciously, with most of her body leaning on the edge of the testimony stand.
It was as scary as if he was going to rush over the witness stand and kill people. However, to Uncle Maori, no matter how scary it was, it was just a human being.
He works in the Beihua Police Force and is a man who has solved many dangerous cases and managed to escape unscathed.
How could a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties be more terrifying than those armed criminals?
"Tsujimura Kimie, listen carefully to the reasoning of my famous detective, Maori Kogoro!"
Uncle Maori said confidently.
Mao Lilan, who was behind, was a little surprised. She was surprised that this time her father actually found out the truth of the case before Mr. Yuan.
According to past practice, shouldn't the dad act like it's great to be young and then fall asleep?
"First of all, you have a bad relationship with Tsujimura Isao, so you are planning to kill Tsujimura Isao."
"Then, in order to exonerate yourself, you specifically found Tsujimura Toshimitsu as your eyewitness."
"After that, your method of killing people was to put cyanide powder and sleeping pill powder into tea."
"Finally, after Tsujimura Isao drinks the tea containing the two drugs, he will become unconscious due to the ingredients in the sleeping pills..."
"The senses were numb, and it was difficult to feel pain. In the end, the four people who drank the tea died immediately without even being able to ask for help. How is that? Am I right, Mrs. Tsujimura?"
Uncle Maori spoke with certainty, as if it were true.
Logically speaking, it is not impossible. After all, sleeping pills are a type of anesthetic drug.
By adjusting the dosage, a person can also be made to feel paralyzed, unable to call for help, or unable to recognize pain.
Kogoro Mori believed that the other party put sleeping pills and cyanide together in order to kill with one blow.
Hearing this, the blond judge's eyes widened.
I have to say that although Kogoro Mori looks unreliable, his words are also very unreliable.
But it can be seen from this convincing and reasonable-sounding reasoning.
This famous detective from Tokyo is indeed very capable, very convincing!
The presiding judge of the first trial court coughed twice and then spoke.
"That makes perfect sense. This court feels that this is the true situation in the case."
"Prosecutor Dante, Lawyer Xiang Yuan, do you have any other opinions or views on this?"
The two's attitude towards the presiding judge who believed the detective's words and ignored the lawyers and prosecutors was——————
"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course there are other opinions, right, Virgil?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that it is true, and the defense also disputes this."
Lawyers and prosecutors rarely form a united front at this time——————
Although this is not uncommon in the court where Xiang Yuanguang is located.
"The reasoning of the Maori detective seems to make sense, but in fact there are some problems."
"For example, he couldn't explain why Toshimitsu Tsujimura took the blame for Kimie Tsujimura."
Xiang Yuanguang calmly refuted Uncle Maori's reasoning.
On the other side, Prosecutor Dante nodded and spoke in a relaxed manner.
"That's right. He has no way of explaining why Tsujimura Kimie even concealed the existence of sleeping pills..."
"If we tell Tsujimura Toshimitsu this kind of thing when he is colluding with his witnesses, wouldn't it help to make his testimony more credible?"
"It's not that his view is unreasonable, but it's not perfect yet and needs further verification."
Facing the double opposition from Xiang Yuanguang and Dante.
Uncle Maori was a little confused.
Damn it, my reasoning is so brilliant, why do you two oppose it?
This is the true situation of this case, right? There is no other possibility!
