Chapter 704 2 Pieces of Evidence
Chapter 704 Two Pieces of Evidence
【Logical chess, start】
Xiang Yuanguang tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers, thinking about the entire process of the case.
It is now certain that Kitano Shunsuke committed perjury and forged the murder weapon. At least he himself believes that he forged the murder weapon. If one wants to refute this point, then one needs to develop the argument based on perjury as the central point.
First, who asked Shunsuke Kitano to give false testimony? What was his motive?
Second, why did Kitano Shunsuke help that person to give false testimony? What was his purpose?
Third, how was this false evidence fabricated? Why was it not discovered?
As long as the answers to these three questions can be known, even if this logical chess game is successful, the heart lock will most likely be solved and Kitano Shunsuke's psychological defenses will be directly broken.
So----
"let's start."
Xiang Yuanguang picked up the coffee, took a sip, and his eyes became serious.
"Detective Kitano, please tell me, when was this evidence of the murder weapon examined, when was the defendant's fingerprints found on it, and how many people handled it along the way?"
In Oda Yoya's opinion, this question is not that tricky.
For Shunsuke Kitano, a veteran detective in Shizuoka Prefecture, this kind of question, which was the same as the requirements for a normal investigation report, was easy to answer and posed no threat at all.
Therefore, Oda Yoya was actually relieved at this time.
Just now, when Xiang Yuanguang directly accused the murder weapon of being perjury and pointed out Kitano Shunsuke as the perjurer, he was really shocked. If it was really perjury, he would probably be punished for poor investigation.
But now it seems that the other party just can't bear his own failure and chooses to bluff.
In this case, Xiang Yuanguang's final inquiry will definitely not achieve any significant success. The outcome of this case has indeed been decided from the very beginning, and even the legendary lawyer can't do anything about it.
Oda Yoya's hands waved subconsciously, as if he was holding a baton to guide the music.
He had already begun to prepare for his victory.
However, just when Oda Yoya thought everything was stable, Kitano Shunsuke in the dock began to sweat on his forehead.
Suddenly, the prosecutor of Shizuoka Prefecture felt a pang in his heart.
What are you doing? No, buddy, are you really committing perjury? I don't know anything, aren't you screwing me?
At this moment, Kitano Shunsuke felt a little complicated.
Although Xiang Yuanguang's questions were simple, and as the criminal officer in charge of the case, he should have been able to answer them simply and clearly, his answers might very well expose the fact that he had committed perjury.
Because this hedgehog-headed lawyer came to the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters Forensic Investigation Division to investigate last night.
The guy asked for a copy of the investigation report from the Shizuoka Prefecture Forensic Science Division, which clearly recorded the entire investigation process of the evidence. If he lied, he would be exposed immediately.
But if he told the truth, Xiang Yuanguang might find out his flaws...
"Detective Kitano, if you don't want to tell me, that's fine."
Xiang Yuanguang spoke calmly, took out a survey report from his bag and placed it on the table.
"This is the investigation report I got from the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters' Forensic Investigation Division last night."
"It clearly states that you were alone with the evidence for quite some time from the time the murder weapon was found at the crime scene to the time it was transferred to the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters and then sent to the Forensic Science Division for investigation."
"If you want to take advantage of this opportunity to forge evidence, I think, with your ability as an experienced criminal, it shouldn't be a problem, right? After all, you only need to add the defendant Tsuda Hideo's fingerprints."
This was indeed a piece of cake for an experienced criminal like Kitano Shunsuke. But at this moment, Oda Yoya changed his gesture and slammed the table in the courtroom, making a loud noise that attracted everyone's attention and shifted their attention to Oda Yoya in the prosecutor's seat.
The Shizuoka Prefecture prosecutor accused without hesitation.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, what do you mean by that? As the criminal in charge of this case, it is normal for Kitano Shunsuke to transport the evidence back to the Forensic Division of the police headquarters for investigation. What's so strange about this?"
"You have to know that in a court of law, everything depends on evidence. Reasoning alone can do nothing!"
"You must first produce evidence that this piece of evidence may be perjury, and then you can question whether Detective Kitano may have fabricated perjury. Let me ask you, can you produce it?!"
————That’s right, there is only reasoning in the trial, no evidence, and nothing can be done.
No matter what the debate is in, it is always much more difficult to argue about nothing than to argue about something.
But Xiang Yuanguang was absolutely sure.
"Prosecutor Oda, this piece of evidence certainly cannot be the weapon that killed Komiyama Taiji."
"If you really investigate Komiyama Taishi's situation carefully, you will find out something very important - Komiyama Taishi suffers from [acute heart disease]."
The hedgehog-haired lawyer pulled out another document from his bag.
This information was not obtained at the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters last night, but was given to him by another reckless Shizuoka Prefectural Detective on the train from Tokyo to Shizuoka Prefecture.
He flipped through the entire stack of information before finally finding some relatively useful information.
Looking at the information in Xiang Yuanguang's hand, Oda Yaoye frowned and asked.
"So what? What does the deceased's [acute heart disease] have to do with this case?"
"The deceased died from being hit on the head by a vase, not from an acute heart attack. Therefore, even if you produce this information now, it does not mean that this evidence is false evidence!"
“…Isn’t that possible?”
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and asked back.
After hearing this, whether it was Oda Yoya, Kitano Shunsuke at the testimony desk, or the presiding judge at the main seat.
The three most important people in the courtroom, except for Xiang Yuanguang, all showed puzzled expressions, and had no idea what Xiang Yuanguang's question meant.
Until Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers and said affirmatively.
"It is still unclear whether the deceased died from a blow to the head."
"Prosecutor Oda, you said from the beginning that the prosecutors did not have an autopsy report because the deceased's family member, Komiyayama Tsutomu, refused to allow anyone else to perform an autopsy in order to protect the body's appearance. Therefore, it cannot be confirmed that the deceased died from a blow to the head."
"The defense argues here that the actual cause of death of the deceased was not a blow to the head."
"Instead, he died of an acute heart attack! These two pieces of evidence can support my conclusion!"
