Chapter 702: Perjury!
Chapter 702: Perjury!
The atmosphere in the courtroom became solemn, just as Xiang Yuanguang had said.
If this case were to unfold according to the reasoning of Detective Kitano and Prosecutor Oda, there would inevitably be many unanswered questions, but since the criminal case has already been prosecuted, there must be a murderer.
Detective Kitano opened his mouth to try to defend himself, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.
The presiding judge was also a little surprised.
At first he thought this lawyer from Tokyo was humble, then he thought he was arrogant, but now, he really felt that Xiang Yuanguang, the so-called legendary lawyer from Tokyo, was indeed very capable.
"But this is not something that cannot be explained."
Oda Yoya gradually felt that the direction of the case was somewhat out of control.
But he still pretended to be calm at this time, slapped the table and spoke loudly, and the entire case details flashed through Oda Yoya's mind quickly. He quickly looked for a breakthrough point that could be used, and then his eyes lit up.
"Yes, it's not like this can't be explained!"
"There is actually nothing wrong with what Detective Kitano said. The reason why Attorney Xiang Yuan felt that there was a decisive loophole is because Attorney Xiang Yuan does not know all the relevant information about this case————"
"I don't blame you for this. After all, you only have enough time to question one witness."
Prosecutor Oda once again transformed himself into the conductor of the orchestra and seemed to have regained his confidence.
His hands drew several arcs in front of him, and finally fell down one by one with great force, hitting the table with a loud noise that attracted the attention of the entire audience.
"The fact that the vase was placed inside the victim's room and the defendant went directly into the room and took the vase to commit the crime without any dispute or struggle, is actually not contradictory."
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, don't forget that the deceased suffered three consecutive blows to the head."
"At least in the testimonies of three witnesses, the deceased had fainted three times. If I say that when the defendant entered the deceased's room, the deceased was still in a [comatose] state."
"Seeing this situation, the defendant remembered what happened in the morning, so he couldn't help but kill the man————"
Oda Yoya became more confident.
"Excuse me, does this make sense with Detective Kitano's testimony just now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Detective Kitano seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He nodded quickly and spoke loudly.
"Yes, that's it."
"No matter what, the first person to discover the body was the defendant, and the defendant also had sufficient motive for murder. It is an indisputable fact that the vase in the deceased's room had the defendant's fingerprints!"
"This is the whole truth of this case!"
However, just when Detective Kitano thought the case had completely turned around.
Xiang Yuanguang tapped his forehead with his finger, then waved his hand and shrugged.
He seemed as if he had heard something extremely funny. He was extremely calm and did not act like a defense lawyer at all.
Seeing this, Oda Yoya, who had just been full of complacency, suddenly became uneasy again.
He frowned and stared at the Hedgehog-headed lawyer, wanting to see what new tricks the Hedgehog-headed lawyer could come up with, but he saw the Hedgehog-headed lawyer sighed and asked in a calm voice.
"Since the prosecutor claims that the deceased fell into a coma after being hit on the head by Katsumata Kengo, and died while in a coma when the defendant stabbed him, then how can the prosecutor determine when the defendant stabbed him..."
"Is the deceased in a coma or dead?"
"If Mr. Komiya was dead when the defendant stabbed him, rather than in a coma, then the real murderer must be Mr. Katsumata Kengo? The prosecutor must have some evidence to support this claim, right?" "For example, an autopsy report that clearly states the time of death?"
————The family of the deceased does not agree to a detailed autopsy, and there is a shortage of forensic doctors in Shizuoka Prefecture. Where does the autopsy report come from?
Oda Yoya's face froze.
The prosecutors are indeed unable to give the specific time of death of the deceased, but the time periods when Katsumata Kengo and Tsuda Hideo entered and left the Ministry of Cultural Affairs were staggered, so the time of death of the deceased can be checked.
He had no way to prove that the deceased had indeed died at the hands of Tsuda Hideo, and not at the hands of Katsumata Kengo...
However, the prosecution does not seem to need to prove this point, because the defense attorney does not have sufficient evidence to point out that the deceased died at the hands of Katsumata Kengo, so he uses momentum to suppress the argument.
Prosecutor Oda's eyes suddenly focused.
He slammed his hands on the table with a loud noise, which made the presiding judge's eyes sharp. It's not that Prosecutor Oda's behavior was too outstanding, but the table in the courtroom was a bit old and couldn't withstand such a beating!
However, the presiding judge did not care too much about this matter, but was more concerned about Prosecutor Oda's subsequent testimony.
"The family of the deceased refused the police to conduct a detailed examination of the body, and the time of death could not be accurately determined."
"However, the prosecutor has already given the defendant's reasons and methods for killing the deceased. Even though the deceased was not in a coma but was dead at the time, the defendant was still trying to kill the deceased."
"Therefore, the defendant is undoubtedly guilty!"
————Although objectively the deceased was not killed, subjectively he wanted to kill the deceased.
According to the law, he is indeed guilty, but Genmitsu Mukai does not think that Hideo Tsuda is guilty, because when he used the heart lock on Hideo Tsuda before, he confirmed that Hideo Tsuda believed that he did not kill Yasushi Komiyama in any way.
If it is said that Hideo Tsuda really used the vase to finish off the opponent and subjectively tried to kill Yasushi Komiyama.
Then, he definitely couldn’t have escaped the range of the Heart Lock, but there were indeed fingerprints of Tsuda Hideo on the vase, so the suspicion that he was the final killer of Komiyama Taiji could not be ruled out in any way.
It seems that there is only one possibility.
Xiang Yuanguang's gaze fell on the four identical vases on the evidence table.
One of the vases had a label on it that read: "The weapon used by Hideo Tsuda to kill Yasushi Komiyama."
"It seems that the defense has run out of options."
The corners of Oda Yoya's mouth curled up slightly.
At this time, in the dock, Hideo Tsuda's face also darkened.
As long as the fact that his fingerprints were on the vase did not change, no matter how Xiang Yuanguang defended himself, he would be considered guilty in the end. But he did not touch the vase in Komiyayama's room.
"A pound of pears! The prosecutor's reasoning is totally untenable!"
At this moment, a loud bang was heard from the defense bench.
The defense table, overwhelmed by the weight, began to crack.
At this moment, Xiang Yuanguang raised his hand, pointed at the vase on the evidence table, and said in a decisive tone.
"The defense believes that the vase pointed out by the prosecutor is [false evidence]!"
Word bomb, launch!
The wind is howling!
