Chapter 455: Reversal of Mask
Chapter 455: Reversal of Mask (27)
"Theoretically, this possibility does exist, but Miss Hotaru, since you know that Tsujimura Kimie and Tsujimura Isao are both diplomats, you should know that their actions are almost the same time, right?"
"According to the questioning of the diplomatic embassy staff by Inspector Shiratori, we learned that Tsujimura Kimie left the diplomatic embassy in Tsujimura Isao's car, and then further questioned Tsujimura Isao's only son, Takayoshi Tsujimura————"
"We can prove that Kimie Tsujimura and Isao Tsujimura returned to the Tsujimura residence at the same time, and through the testimony of the housekeeper of the Tsujimura residence, we can prove that Kimie Tsujimura did not leave the Tsujimura residence that night."
Kogoro Mori's voice did not stop and continued.
"In other words, unless the prosecutors have evidence to prove that Kimie Tsujimura left the Tsujimura residence that night, the prosecutors' suspicion that Kimie Tsujimura committed the crime is nonsense."
"Of course, the prosecutors may think that Tsujimura Kimie poisoned the tea set before leaving the diplomatic embassy, but this is impossible because the staff of the diplomatic embassy leave work later than the diplomats, and the tea set was placed in——"
"The diplomatic staff would clean and tidy up the tea sets before finishing their work. Cyanide can cause harm to the human body even if it comes into contact with the body, but the staff were not injured at the time."
"Therefore, whether it was Tsujimura Kimie who poisoned the four people before leaving, or left the diplomatic embassy and returned to poison them, both possibilities are not true, so the real murderer who poisoned the four people could not be Tsujimura Kimie."
...In other words, has Kimie Tsujimura been ruled out as a suspect in the murder?
The young prosecutor was a little confused, her face full of confusion, while Dante next to her sighed, snapped his fingers, and directly pointed out the problems in the other party's logic.
"The defense's assumption is interesting, but meaningless. Because the defense has not yet proved that the cyanide that poisoned the four victims was in the teacup instead of in the tea, so the reasoning based on this premise is meaningless."
"Mouri Kogoro, since you call yourself a famous detective, you should be able to find a way to prove it, right?"
At this time, Toshimitsu Tsujimura in the dock was completely confused. What the two sides were talking about was beyond his thinking range, and he fell into a state similar to a computer crash.
The problem now is not that Kimie Tsujimura accidentally killed a member of the special investigation team, but that Kimie Tsujimura colluded with a mysterious organization to murder a member of the special investigation team...
This kind of thing sounds too strange. Although Tsujimura Kimie and Tsujimura Isao both think that they are very prestigious diplomats, Tsujimura Toshimitsu, as a university professor, knows that the status of a diplomat is just that after all.
How could he be involved in such a major case that actually involves public security?
"…Perhaps the Tsujimura family really did send it."
Tsujimura Toshimitsu murmured to himself somewhat sadly, and for a moment he didn't know what to do after he was acquitted.
If Xiang Yuanguang knew that Tsujimura Toshimitsu was still thinking about acquittal, he would definitely pat Lao Deng's shoulder seriously and say in a very serious manner - [Don't think about acquittal, think about how to operate a sewing machine].
Although it is true that you, Lao Deng, did not kill anyone, but the fact that you took the blame for and shielded Tsujimura Kimie's murder is set in stone. Even if you are found not guilty of the murder charge, the procuratorate will bring charges of other crimes afterwards!
"Mr. Dante, don't worry. Miss Ying just asked about the amount of cyanide, but I haven't answered it yet. Now, I will tell you the rest of the truth."
Conan leaned over and looked at Hotaru Kizuki and Dante at the prosecutor's table, then spoke to his bow-tie voice changer.
"First of all, I want to correct Miss Hotaru's words. Tsujimura Kimie actually poisoned the case."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present frowned, somewhat puzzled.
The blond judge was even more confused. He shook his head and asked in confusion.
"But didn't the defense claim before that Tsujimura Kimie didn't poison the tea or the tea walls? Why are they now saying that Tsujimura Kimie actually poisoned the tea? Isn't this contradictory?"
Snap——Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers, raised the coffee cup and pointed it at the presiding judge, causing the presiding judge to subconsciously move aside. Then the presiding judge realized that Xiang Yuanguang simply had something to say.
The blue hedgehog took a sip of coffee and then spoke easily.
"Is it contradictory? Actually, it is not contradictory, Your Excellency the Judge. As long as we start from the motive for the murder, we can easily come to this conclusion——————"
"The organization that tried to kill the special investigation team members was related to the previous Silver Star incident. Their motive was the Silver Star incident, so they wanted to kill the special investigation team members who came to investigate the Silver Star incident."
"However, there was no need for the organization to kill Tsujimura Isao because he was just a temporary receptionist and had no idea about the Silver Star incident. Therefore, the organization had no motive to kill him."
"Unfortunately, Tsujimura Isao's wife, Tsujimura Kimie, had exactly this motive, and she also purchased 350 milligrams of cyanide from the Tojo Clan, and Tsujimura Isao died of cyanide poisoning."
The blond judge was startled and immediately realized what the defense meant.
"Is the defense's claim that there were two murderers in this case, one was an unknown person who poisoned, and the other was Tsujimura Kimie who used cyanide to kill? And the people they killed were different?!"
Such words made Tsujimura Kimie, who was standing behind the testimony desk, a little uneasy. She slammed the table with both hands and spoke loudly.
"No, since your reasoning says that the cyanide poison is placed on the wall of the teacup, then neither I nor the so-called organization can plan which cups the special investigation team members will use, right?"
"According to normal logic, shouldn't we smear cyanide poison on the walls of all four teacups in the tea set? This will ensure that the target will die from cyanide poison, right?"
"Then isn't it normal that Tsujimura Isao died of cyanide poisoning? And what are you talking about? I bought 350 milligrams of cyanide. How can you prove such a thing?"
"Do you have the purchase receipt or have you found the seller? I think you are the one who forged the evidence. You are determined to put the blame on me at all costs and convict me so that you can pass on the blame!"
Tsujimura Kimie's words were too harsh for everyone present. Even the blond presiding judge's face darkened, because he had acknowledged that Tsujimura Kimie had purchased 350 milligrams of cyanide.
Now that Kimie Tsujimura says that the prosecution and the defense colluded to forge evidence, isn't that equivalent to scolding the presiding judge who acknowledged that the forged evidence was real evidence?
The presiding judge frowned, raised the gavel, and was about to lower it to ask the bailiff to kick the shrew out when he heard a loud bang on the wooden table!
Boom!
The coffee cup was smashed onto the table, and the coffee splashed out.
Such behavior immediately made Tsujimura Gongjiang obedient. Zhong Deng swallowed his saliva and looked at Xiang Yuanguang. He was a little worried that this guy might get angry and throw a coffee cup at her, and send her directly to the infirmary...
"What you just said is bullshit!"
Xiang Yuanguang raised his finger and pointed at Tsujimura Kimie without any courtesy, and the wind moved with it.
Word bullet, fire!
"Let me thoroughly dispel your argument and put an end to our previous dispute!"
