Chapter 450: Reversal of Mask
Chapter 450: Reversal of Mask (22)
At this moment, the expression on Nishikiyama Akira's face in the lounge was not very good.
If this matter wasn't too involved, and other groups in the Dongcheng Association were inclined to investigate the Jinshan Group's responsibility and kick the Jinshan Group out, he would not have come to the trial court as a witness.
But even if he, the leader of the Jinshan Group, appeared in court as a witness, he could only temporarily curb the future losses of the Jinshan Group. If he wanted to make further progress, he had to find other ways.
For example... if he could get the 10 billion yen that Tojo Clan lost and use it to expand his power, he might even become the fourth-generation president of Tojo Clan...
(If Jinshan Group continues to expand in this barbaric way, it will sooner or later encounter more and more big troubles like it is now. If you want to solve this problem, you must find other ways out and find new partners.)
(However, how many allies in Tokyo can be found that are strong enough to cooperate with the Yakuza? No, it is not impossible...)
Nishikiyama Akira was thinking, with a hint of hesitation on his face, as if he was planning to make a new decision.
At this moment, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and the bailiff stared at the Yakuza members inside and spoke loudly.
"Mr. Jinshan, Prosecutor Dante wants you to testify as a witness in this trial."
Hearing someone calling him, Jinshan Zhang came to his senses and cast a wolf-like gaze on the bailiff's face, which made the bailiff subconsciously take two steps back and swallow his saliva.
However, Nishikiyama Akira just raised his head and looked at him, then stood up from his seat, walked to the side of the bailiff, and said something calmly.
"Let's go. I've been waiting for a long time. It's time to put this matter to rest."
The bailiff heaved a sigh of relief, and then took Jinshan Zhang to the direction of the first trial court. However, Jinshan Zhang felt a little strange at this time...
Because there seemed to be too few people in the courtroom, whether it was the second courtroom, the third courtroom, or the other lounges, there was no one there.
What was going on? The police were setting up traps to arrest people? Could it be that the terrorists who dared to kill people openly dared to sneak into the court to commit murder?
crunch.
A small gap was opened in the lounge somewhere.
Someone looked through the crack in the door at Jinshan Akira and the bailiff, then closed the door and stopped looking.
—————May 29th, 8:40 a.m.——————
—————Tokyo District, First Court——————
As the door was pushed open, the leader of the Tojo Clan's Nishiyama Group, Akira Nishiyama, appeared.
The presiding judge who saw this scene looked the visitor up and down, and waited until Jinshan Zhang reached the witness stand before speaking.
"Witness, please state your name, identity, and relationship to this case."
Nishikiyama Akira turned his head slightly to look at the prosecutor's seat. Although Dante was still the same, Kizuki Hotaru nodded.
Therefore, Jinshan Zhang simply revealed his identity as a supplementary explanation.
"Akira Nishikiyama, leader of the Tojo Clan's Nishikiyama Group. Members of the group secretly developed a peripheral organization in Beika Town and illegally sold 350 milligrams of cyanide. They are dead. I am appearing in court on their behalf."
Seeing that what Nishikiyama Akira said was consistent with what the prosecutor said, the presiding judge's expression eased a little.
thump.
The gavel came down and the presiding judge spoke.
"Prosecutor Guiyue, please let the witness testify about what he knows about this case. I hope that after the witness has finished testifying, the prosecutor can provide relevant evidence."
Although she was an assistant, Hotaru Kizuki was more like the prosecutor in charge of the court than Dante. She nodded, turned to look at Nishikiyama Akira, then flipped two pages of the documents on the table and spoke. "Then, according to the presiding judge's request, Mr. Nishikiyama, please tell us everything you know. After the testimony is over, the defense will question you. Please answer the questions truthfully at that time."
(…For the defense, are they the two guys in blue suits next to them?)
Nishikiyama Akira's eyes fell on Mukai Genmitsu and Mori Kogoro at the defense table. Although he did not know Mori Kogoro, Mukai Genmitsu left a deep impression on him.
If we consider purely combat power, I'm afraid that even Kazuma Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima ten years ago, would not be his opponent. I really don't know why such a person would waste his talent to be a small defense lawyer.
He nodded and looked back at the blond judge in the main seat, which made Kogoro Mori, who had just made eye contact with Akira Nishikiyama and thought that this yakuza was going to say something harsh, feel a little frustrated, as if he was punching the air.
"…What? Normally, shouldn't a Yakuza member like this say some harsh words to us in court?"
Uncle Maori muttered, and Xiang Yuanguang just shook his head slightly in response.
In this country, yakuza organizations can be legalized. Precisely because of legalization, yakuza members must appear law-abiding as much as possible in front of outsiders, otherwise the consequences of being caught will be much more serious.
Didn't the leader of the Lavender Group, Yamamoto Kensho, look amiable in the courtroom? Unless his defense was broken, you couldn't tell that he was a gangster... Nishikiyama Akira's power is not as great as Yamamoto Kensho's, so he has to keep his composure.
[~Testimony about the Geumsan Group and the case~]
[Testimony begins]
"If you have known about the Dongcheng Clan, you should know that the Jinshan Group I established was the shortest."
"So I am not as restrained as other established groups in terms of the members of Jinshan Group, and the size of the group is expanding rapidly..."
"It's not surprising that those Jinshan Group members would use the Jinshan Group's name to do some illegal things that I don't know about."
"Although the peripheral organization that attacked Lawyer Xiang Yuan was nominally an affiliated organization of the Jinshan Group, in fact, they were simply doing things in the name of the Jinshan Group and the Dongcheng Society, and they had little connection with the Jinshan Group."
"The member of the organization that sold cyanide had his relatives steal a small amount of cyanide from a university laboratory to sell. Now that member has died in the attack, and his relatives have been arrested by the Kamurocho police."
"So, what I want to say is that Jinshan Group, no, Dongcheng Clan, actually has no special relationship with this incident. They were just chosen by someone to be shields to block the knife."
"In fact, even myself and many other high-ranking members of the East City Association were attacked. The leader of the Kazama Group almost lost his life. The East City Association can't possibly joke with you about the leader's life, right?"
[End of testimony]
A certain high-ranking member of the Metropolitan Police Department who hated evil simply snorted in the audience and spoke rudely.
"That means that East City will be attacked but all the dead are temporary workers and lawbreakers. No high-ranking officials in the organization should be dead? Humph, a self-torture tactic? Who would believe that?"
Suddenly, the audience behind the prosecutor's seat became noisy. In the final analysis, they were very distrustful of the situation of the Dongcheng Society. Only those sitting in the first row remained silent and did not say a word.
This also made Xiang Yuanguang notice the appearance of the audience in the first row of the audience seats behind the prosecutor's seat. There were ten people in total, and among the four people sitting in the middle, three had blonde hair and one had black hair...
If this was his previous life, he would definitely say that he was a foreigner, but in the Conan world he was a little unsure. After all, in the two-dimensional world, any hair color is normal. If you want to judge whether he is a local or a foreigner, you have to rely on other details.
(Hmm, could it be that they are members of the Investigation Team? Dante brought all of these people to the court? Is he planning to have these members of the Investigation Team appear in court in the next trial?)
(The traitor should be among the four people in the middle of the first row... If my stereotype is correct, that woman should be the traitor of the action team.)
Xiang Yuanguang took a sip of coffee.
Because whether it was Binga or Curacao, they were all dressed as women when they sneaked in!
