Chapter 456: Reversal of Mask
Chapter 456: Reversal of Mask (28)
He already understood the context of the case and everything about it when Conan handed him the investigation materials, and now, he will use this to put an end to this incident once and for all!
Xiang Yuanguang clapped his hands on the table again with a serious expression.
"Tsujimura Kimie, you can deny that you purchased 350 milligrams of cyanide, but the evidence that the defense will present next can prove that you used about 350 milligrams of cyanide to kill people!"
"Listen to me, you bitch. It is true that Tsujimura Isao died from drinking tea laced with cyanide. However, the amount of cyanide in his body was the highest among the four victims, and it was to an abnormal level."
"But the forensic police officers cited the example of other victims dying from drinking tea laced with cyanide, and believed that Tsujimura Isao's cause of death was also drinking tea laced with cyanide, but he just drank more than the others—"
"Wrong, absolutely wrong. Yesterday, Detective Maori specially invited a medical consultant from the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division to perform an autopsy, and then presented a second autopsy report. Guess what this autopsy report mentioned?"
The blue defense attorney sneered as he pulled the autopsy report out of the folder and slammed it on the table.
"This autopsy report pointed out that the distribution of cyanide toxins in Tsujimura Isao was abnormal. Pinholes were found on the back of his neck, and cyanide components were found near the pinholes!"
"That is to say, you had a motive to kill, and you took action. You were indeed one of the reasons that led to Tsujimura Isao's death. The subjective and objective facts are consistent. Your crime is obvious and there is no escape!"
Upon hearing this, Prosecutor Guiyue's face suddenly turned dark.
Although she was not in charge of this case and was only assisting Prosecutor Dante according to the instructions of the Procuratorate, she was still dissatisfied with the professional style of the forensic department when she heard the news.
Why is the work of the forensic department outsourced to medical consultants? And most of the autopsy reports that the forensic department finally gives out are problematic, while those given by medical consultants are basically correct...
In this case, why not just cut out the middleman, the forensic department, and outsource everything to medical consultants!
At this time, the police officers of the Forensic Division did not know that their salary assessment would face a severe test, and were praising Consultant Asai for his professionalism.
After all, the medical consultant volunteered to work overtime, and these forensic police officers can get salary performance even if they are idle for a while. Such a comfortable job is only available here, except for Inspector Megure's Investigation Division!
"…Hmm, why did that little detective come to see me instead of Attorney Xiang Yuan?"
Asai Narumi continued his forensic work in confusion, but he was still a little puzzled when he thought about what happened yesterday.
If Conan and Mouri Kogoro were not indeed acquaintances, and Conan said that he had asked him for help from Minamoto no Mitsuki.
He was probably still shopping and thinking about whether to buy some new clothes next...
"Let's go to the office and ask them after they are done..."
Whoosh——————
The wind was howling, pointing towards Tsujimura Kimie at the testimony stand.
"Still quibbling? I think you don't know your place. I want you to know the depth of my magic!"
Tsujimura Kimie retreated again and again, her heart lock was already shaky, but she was still quibbling.
"What you said makes absolutely no sense, it's nonsense! It's ridiculous, ridiculous...!"
"Xiang Yuanguang, since you said that I stabbed a needle containing cyanide poison into Tsujimura Isao's back..."
"Then, where is the needle? Where is it? Even if there is this needle, how can you prove that it is mine?!"
Seeing this, even Toshimitsu Tsujimura in the dock knew something was wrong.
Damn it, Tsujimura Kimie, I took the blame for you, and you actually hid something from me?
If you had told me the whole truth at the beginning, wouldn't this be a problem? !
Lao Deng was roaring in his heart, but he didn't dare to open his mouth, for fear that the strong wind would blow his teeth off!
"That needle...if I think about it carefully, I should have seen it before, right?" At this time, Prosecutor Dante in the prosecutor's seat spoke thoughtfully, which made Tsujimura Kimie's heart sink to the bottom.
What? He actually saw the needle? But how is this possible?
She clearly saw the man in red dozing off on the small sofa in the diplomatic embassy. How could he see that?
Impossible, absolutely impossible! This is just the prosecutors trying to trick me into telling the truth!
Tsujimura Kimie's body was shaking, half with anger and half with fear.
But at this moment, Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers.
Kogoro Mori's voice sounded at just the right time.
"Prosecutor Dante, you were at the crime scene at the time. You must have seen the other murder weapon that killed Tsujimura Isao."
"Because the murder weapon was hidden in an object that would make it hard for people to be suspicious——————"
Conan now pointed the finger at Toshimitsu Tsujimura who was sitting in the dock.
"The murder weapon was previously in Mr. Tsujimura's possession, but it has now been taken away by the police."
Hearing this, Tsujimura Toshimitsu stood up suddenly, and the bailiffs on both sides held his shoulders and asked him to sit down.
However, there was still an indescribable excitement on Lao Deng's face, because he himself didn't know what Maori Kogoro was talking about!
"What are you talking about? The only things the police took from me were my keys!"
Yes, the police just took the keys from Toshimitsu Tsujimura and used them to investigate the Tsujimura house.
But Conan had seen the key when he asked Inspector Shiratori to act as a tool and take him to Tsujimura's house to look for clues.
This is also one of the reasons why Conan was able to directly deduce the cause and effect of this case and the murder weapon.
(Tsujimura Kimie, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame your bad luck, otherwise I wouldn't have solved the case so easily.)
The Elementary School Student of Death was complaining in his heart, but Xiang Yuanguang had already slammed the table and delivered the final blow.
"The defense demands the presentation of new evidence——[Tsujimura Toshimitsu's keychain]!"
"The murder weapon that Kimie Tsujimura used to kill Isao Tsujimura is hidden inside this piece of evidence!"
The blond judge in the main seat lowered the gavel without hesitation, without asking any questions.
"This court is here to accept the new evidence presented by the defense. Please explain this evidence!"
In response, Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers again and lifted up the key ring that was put into the evidence bag on the evidence table.
Then he put on gloves and directly opened the evidence bag. According to the hiding method Conan told him before the trial, he directly opened the key chain and took out the poison needle that stabbed Tsujimura Isao to death.
When a poison needle deduced by the defense really appears in the key chain, there is no need to verify whether the needle is the real murder weapon or whether it contains cyanide.
The mere fact that this result appeared in front of everyone was enough to cause an uproar among those in the audience.
"It's just like... Kudo Shinichi's reasoning, that special feeling..."
A senior official of the Metropolitan Police Department said somewhat unwillingly that it was not easy for this "savior of the police" to run away and travel, but now a famous detective Kogoro Mouri and a famous lawyer Genmitsu Mukai have popped up!
Is this a Hydra? Cut off one head and two more appear? Is this going to get better?
On the other hand, Arita Ryosuke was very surprised at the effect of the cooperation between Maori Kogoro and Xiang Yuanguang. He originally thought that one plus one would be less than two, just like the last trial, but he didn't expect that once Maori Kogoro got into the state, one plus one would be greater than two!
But where is the blue suited elementary school student who often appears with Maori Kogoro and Maori Ran? Why haven't we seen him since the trial started? Did he not come?
Thinking of this, Arita Ryosuke simply planned to ask Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran, but then he thought again, he and Mouri Ran were not very familiar with each other, and he didn't see Suzuki Sonoko very often, so it would be better not to ask such presumptuous questions.
This also allowed the death god elementary school students in the last row who didn't know what was going on to escape...
