Chapter 697 Time can be reversed
Chapter 697 Time can be reversed
————There is no doubt anymore?
How is it possible? Aren't there doubts everywhere? Even the defendant has no motive for murder.
Xiang Yuanguang shook his head, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
It was originally thought that Prosecutor Oda of Shizuoka Prefecture had some power, but now it seems that he was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse, because his detailed questioning happened to lead to the conclusion that the three suspects were not the real murderers.
The other party did not realize that the deceased did not die from a blow to the head, but from cardiopulmonary arrest.
Although Komiyayama Tsuyoshi did not allow the police to perform an autopsy or other irreversible damage inspection on the body, there were no restrictions on simply inspecting the appearance and surface condition of the body. The authority she gave the police was much greater than that given to the defense.
Unless Prosecutor Oda did not examine the body at all, or did not find anything wrong after examining the body.
Otherwise, the abnormalities of the corpse that could be seen by anyone with some relevant knowledge would not have been ignored, and the deceased would have been simply and crudely determined to have died from four heavy blows to the head.
Moreover, Oda Yoya also overlooked a crucial piece of evidence——
"I don't think the defense has anything to refute."
The prosecutor of Shizuoka Prefecture spoke loudly at this moment.
With the correct prosecution and perfect reasoning in this trial, he will definitely become famous. This is an extremely important victory, and he can't wait to take it into his arms and doesn't want to have any more meaningless arguments with lawyers.
"Your Honor, you may issue a final verdict—"
"A pound of pear!"
Xiang Yuanguang's coffee cup smashed directly on the table, making a loud noise.
But the strange thing was that the coffee in the coffee cup did not spill out at all, as if some mysterious force had stuck to the inside of the coffee cup, which scared Oda Yao.
The presiding judge almost couldn't hold the gavel steadily in his hand, and he was in a panic for a while before he finally caught it.
Then, the presiding judge and prosecutor of Shizuoka Prefecture, as well as many audience members in the gallery, all looked towards the defense seat.
They were waiting for a counterargument from the legendary lawyer who came from Tokyo.
"According to the procedure, at least the person in charge of the case must appear in court and give his testimony before a verdict can be issued."
The hedgehog-haired lawyer said calmly.
"Besides that, Mr. Oda, there is a huge contradiction in your inference——"
"You said that the first three suspects only knocked Mr. Komiyama unconscious but did not kill him. The person who actually killed Mr. Komiyama was Tsuda Hideo, the last person to enter the room."
"This seems to make sense, but it's not, because time can be reversed."
Oda Yao was also stunned.
What does it mean that time can be reversed? You stole a time-twister from the Harry Potter set?
Not only the prosecutor Oda Yao was unable to understand it, but even the many audience members in the gallery were unable to understand it. They were talking about it, while the presiding judge frowned and pretended to think, but in fact he was not thinking about anything.
After a while, he felt he had enough time to pretend to think, then he lowered the gavel and spoke loudly.
"Silence, silence!"
The presiding judge looked at Xiang Yuanguang at the defense table and spoke with confidence.
"Although the court has already guessed roughly, this is the defense's response and should be spoken by the defense. Please start your discussion on [Reversal of Time] now, Lawyer Xiang Yuan."
You actually didn't guess anything, you just pretended to guess it. Xiang Yuanguang glanced at the presiding judge. Although he didn't open the heart lock, his experience as a lawyer still allowed him to see at a glance that the presiding judge was trying to gain prestige for himself, but he didn't care.
The presiding judge of Shizuoka Prefecture was not familiar with him, so he could do whatever he wanted as long as he did not get angry during the trial.
The hedgehog-haired lawyer snapped his fingers and said affirmatively.
"Prosecutor Oda, time can be reversed."
"You can say that the vase with Tsuda Hideo's fingerprints in Komiyama Yasushi's room appeared after Katsumata Kengo used the vase to knock Komiyama Yasushi unconscious and brought Komiyama Yasushi back to the room, and use this to prove that Tsuda Hideo killed someone."
"But what if I say that the vase with Tsuda Hideo's fingerprints appeared before Arakura Yumiko took action?"
"The chronology of this case is obvious, right? The four suspects appeared in the room at different times, so no one suspect knew about the actions of another suspect."
"If Tsuda Hideo really used the vase to attack Komiyama Yasushi."
"The attack time can be after Kengo Katsumata's last strike, but it can also be after Osamu Hoshino's attack, after Yumiko Arakura's attack, or before Yumiko Arakura's attack. Do you understand?"
Xiang Yuanguang slammed his hands on the table, and his momentum instantly rose.
He said word for word.
"Time can be reversed. According to your logic, the murderer could be either Tsuda Hideo or Katsumata Kengo, unless you can determine the exact time when Tsuda Hideo's fingerprints were left on the vase."
"Otherwise, your inference of guilt just now is completely empty talk and meaningless!"
————This, this is true.
Oda Yaoya subconsciously took a step back.
Although this Tokyo barrister named Mukai Genmitsu has a different personality from the previous Tokyo barrister named Kumimon Kensuke, after the trial actually began, the feeling of oppression was exactly the same and extremely terrifying.
And the problems pointed out are indeed his pain points that are difficult to remedy.
If it was a day ago, he might have been directly defeated by this counter-argument, but after the criminal officer in charge reminded him of this problem yesterday, Oda Yao was convinced that there was no problem with his inference!
The Shizuoka Prefecture prosecutor immediately spoke out loudly.
"I've already guessed this sort of thing."
"Judge, I request that the criminal responsible for this case appear in court to testify! Last night, I asked the criminal responsible for investigating the staff of the cultural center to determine the time distribution when Tsuda Hideo appeared inside the action center!"
"We just need to let the criminal suspect testify in court. Attorney Xiang Yuan's counterargument is nonsense!"
————Last night?
Xiang Yuanguang keenly captured the specific time point, and his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this time point.
Because he went to visit Komiyayama Atsuko and went to the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters Forensic Investigation Division to examine the body, and the follow-up investigation was all done last night, and all the investigations were not completed until around 1 a.m.
Oda Yoya urgently fixed the logical flaw last night, which might be related to his investigation last night.
However, Xiang Yuanguang did not think too much about this.
Because the presiding judge has already lowered the gavel and made a direct announcement.
"Please ask the criminal officer in charge of this case, Shunsuke Kitano, to testify in court!"
