Chapter 428: Reversal of Mask
Chapter 428: Reversal of Mask (16)
"What did you say?!"
Takayoshi Tsujimura’s eyes widened. What was going on?
Before, there were lovers and Kisaragi were brother and sister, but now Katsuragi Sachiko is in love with the son of the murderer of her father?
No, is this still Earth? Is this still Tokyo? What are you saying? He doesn't understand.
Such excessive information almost caused the young couple to crash their computer.
Even the presiding judge was shocked and spoke quickly.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, since you said that, I guess you already have information that can prove this matter."
"Don't hide it, just take it out. You'll have to submit it as evidence sooner or later anyway!"
...I had no intention of hiding it in the first place, and I'm bringing it up now just to teach Tsujimura Kimie a lesson.
Xiang Yuanguang's finger gently touched his forehead, within his sight.
Because he released two pieces of bombshell news in succession, Tsujimura Kimie had already broken two heart locks and two chess pieces.
If things go as expected, the events before and after the Yamashiro Kenji incident will be brought up, along with evidence from Mori and others.
There is a high probability that Tsujimura Kimie can break a heart lock and a chess piece again.
This puts this old bitch in a situation where she has no way out.
So, what are you waiting for? It's time to get started.
"The defense does have evidence that can prove the truth of this matter, and they believe that this evidence can be used to prove Tsujimura Kimie's motive for murder. What do you think, Judge?"
In response, the blond judge pondered for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Xiang Yuanguang's opinion.
"If this incident is confirmed to be true, then this court can accept this incident as the motive for the murder by Tsujimura Kimie, but in the end the defense still has to produce evidence to confirm that it was Tsujimura Kimie who committed the murder."
"Now that the court has given its promise, the defense attorney can produce this evidence so that all of us can see the true cause and effect of this case."
Behind the testimony desk, Kimie Tsujimura had a gloomy face, but she still held on to the last fantasy in her heart, thinking that it was impossible for Genmitsu Mukai to take over the defense of this case and find out so many things in less than a day.
At first, she felt that something was wrong, and she had to spend so much time and energy to investigate, and finally she was able to confirm that Yamashiro Kenji was indeed killed by Tsujimura Isao and Tsujimura Toshimitsu...
This blue hedgehog is obviously just a lawyer, and her status is far lower than that of a diplomat. How can she do so easily what a diplomat like her has to spend so much energy to do?
However, a career is, after all, just a career, and has nothing to do with one's ability and status.
Even now, Tsujimura Kimie has not realized the existence of this inequality, and others will not do anything to remind Tsujimura Kimie. After all, in the eyes of the old gossip...
Except for the chief judge and the prosecutor, everyone else in the courtroom is inferior to her as a diplomat in terms of professional status, so she doesn't listen to what anyone says!
"Why? Tsujimura Kimie, are you still worried? I might as well tell you that if you hadn't investigated Yamashiro Kenji's affairs before, I wouldn't have been able to get these materials so easily."
Xiang Yuanguang sneered and pulled out all the relevant information about the Yamashiro Kenji case from his folder. From the time Yamashiro Kenji was accused of corruption and imprisoned, to his death after serving five years in prison... all the information was available. When he enlarged the information through the projector and projected it on the screen, Tsujimura Kimie's heart finally died.
"In addition, Tsujimura Kimie hired the Mori Office to help investigate Katsuragi Sachiko's scandal, but he deliberately invited them to his home. His purpose was not to separate Katsuragi Sachiko and Tsujimura Takayoshi."
"Because Katsuragi Sachiko and Takayoshi Tsujimura are likely to be at Tsujimura's house on Tsujimura Isao's day off, that means that Maori Kogoro and others will definitely meet the couple when they come to Tsujimura's house."
"So, would a normal person who commissions a detective intend to have the detective meet the person he is investigating? Isn't it better to keep things as secret as possible, so that neither his son nor his daughter would know about it?"
The blue hedgehog said calmly as he tapped his finger on his forehead.
"If we start from normal logic, Tsujimura Kimie's approach is actually inconsistent, but if we reverse our thinking, we can get a different answer - the correct answer."
"Don't think that Tsujimura Kimie invited Maori Kogoro to the Tsujimura residence to discuss the investigation of Tsujimura Takayoshi. Instead, think that Tsujimura Kimie gave this request in order to get Maori Kogoro to the Tsujimura residence."
Such a statement immediately made Uncle Maori next to him frown. He couldn't understand why Xiang Yuanguang wanted to reverse his thinking in this way. Isn't this just reversing thinking just for the sake of reversing thinking?
Although the other party's behavior is indeed somewhat illogical, the thinking after the reversal is even more illogical. What reason is there to specifically ask a detective to come to your home?
Although his professional ability as a detective in the firm is not good, Kogoro Mouri himself is well aware that detectives have a very bad reputation, similar to that of lawyers.
Because detectives are always doing things similar to intelligence dealers, investigating this and that, it is not impossible for them to let the detective come to their home and then sell the situation at home as intelligence.
"Xiang Yuan kid, do you mean that Tsujimura Kimie must make me come to her house on Tsujimura Isao's day off? Even at the cost of giving me a commission to do it?"
"But this is too illogical. It doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it."
Kogoro Mori was still wondering, but Dante at the prosecutor's seat had already gotten the final answer.
The prosecutor in red clothes and silver hair was a little surprised. Xiang Yuanguang's reasoning method was not to really reverse the train of thought, but to find another possible reasonable entry point to think about the matter itself.
This practice is actually not uncommon in all walks of life, but it is indeed strange for a lawyer to have such a way of thinking - and if you think about it in this way, there is only one answer.
"No, it would be appropriate if Tsujimura Kimie wanted to kill someone on Tsujimura Isao's day off."
He smiled at Genkou and gave the answer that Dante had just deduced in his mind.
"Because she needs someone who is not closely related to the Tsujimura family as her witness, so that she can perfectly escape the murder in the villa, or even put the blame on someone else."
"After all, the other members of the Tsujimura family testifying to her innocence don't really mean anything, because Tsujimura Toshimitsu is her father-in-law, Tsujimura Takayoshi is her stepson, Katsuragi Sachiko is Takayoshi Tsujimura's girlfriend, not to mention the housekeeper..."
"Therefore, as a famous detective, Maori Kogoro has no close relationship with the Tsujimura family, and his reasoning can convince the criminal police who come to investigate. Naturally, he is the best [alibi] in Tsujimura Kimie's eyes."
"How is it? Mrs. Tsujimura, is my reasoning the plan you had anticipated before?"
Behind the testimony stand, Tsujimura Kimie's face was tense.
Three of the heart locks wrapped around her body had been broken, and only the last piece of the logical chess piece was left.
However, the old bitch still refused to admit defeat, because... as long as there was no evidence to prove her guilt, she would still be innocent and no one could judge her!
