Chapter 708 The suspect who changed the medicine
"Because, there is actually medicine in Komiyama Taiji's medicine bottle."
Xiang Yuanguang's voice was calm.
"If there is no medicine in the bottle, then Taiji Komiyayama will definitely call for help immediately, but if there is medicine in it, then Taiji Komiyayama's first reaction will definitely be to take the medicine."
"Because passers-by may not be able to take him to the hospital immediately, and may not be able to take out the corresponding emergency medicine."
"But digitalis tablets were life-saving medicine for Taiji Komiyayama, who had an acute heart disease. He immediately poured out the medicine from the bottle and swallowed it, then waited for the medicine to take effect, but the situation was not as he expected."
"The medicine in the bottle had no effect on his condition or only made it worse, causing Taishi Komiyama to miss a few seconds of golden time to call for help, which ultimately led to Taishi Komiyama's death."
The hedgehog-headed lawyer pointed to the medicine bottle on the evidence table.
"I checked the forensic department's inspection report on the medicine bottle. The report said that this medicine bottle was the one that Taiji Komiyayama used to store digitalis tablets, but it did not conduct a specific inspection of the drug residue inside."
"Mr. Judge, Prosecutor Oda, just ask the forensic department to check the specific drug ingredients inside the medicine bottle."
"I think it will take no more than thirty minutes for the forensic team to determine whether there are any other drug ingredients in the medicine besides digitalis tablets, and thus determine whether the real cause of death of the deceased is really as I said."
Has anyone changed the medication in the bottle?
The presiding judge's eyes were shocked, and without saying a word, he immediately lowered the gavel.
"Bailiff, take this evidence to the forensic department immediately to conduct a drug composition test!"
The bailiff in the courtroom immediately trotted over to the evidence table, picked up the medicine bottle, turned around, pushed open the door of the courtroom and left, quickly notifying the other criminal officers of the Shizuoka Prefecture Police Headquarters inside the courtroom.
Prosecutor Oda's eyes looked a little solemn, and he asked.
"Mr. Xiang Yuan, it seems that your claim is that the deceased's wife, Komiyayama Tsuko, replaced the medicine in the deceased's medicine bottle. However, as you said, the deceased and Komiyayama Tsuko had a bad relationship."
"Under these circumstances, how could the deceased have handed over the bottle of life-saving medicine that was usually hung around his neck and strung with a rope to Komiya Dunzi? I'm afraid Komiya Dunzi didn't have the time to commit the crime, did he?"
————Really not?
Xiang Yuanguang tapped his forehead lightly with his finger, and turned his head to look at Tsuda Hideo in the dock.
Then he said bluntly.
"This requires questioning the defendant in this court, Mr. Tsuda Hideo."
"As a good friend of Komiyama Taiji, Mr. Tsuda Hideo must know Komiyama Taiji very well. If Komiyama Taiji took down his medicine bottle at any time, it would give Komiyama Tsutomu an opportunity to commit the crime."
"Then I believe Mr. Tsuda Hideo must know something about this."
Hear what the hedgehog-headed lawyer said.
The presiding judge was at the main seat, Oda Yoya was at the prosecutor's seat, and Kitano Shunsuke was at the testimony desk.
The three of them turned to look at Hideo Tsuda in the dock at the same time, and the middle-aged theater director who was already in his fifties pointed at himself in disbelief.
Me, me? I'm here to testify? Is this true or not?
Tsuda Hideo did not expect that now that the situation had been clearly reversed, Xiang Yuanguang would actually let the defendant take the initiative to testify, which seemed a bit incredible in a normal trial. Because as a defendant, he is very likely to forge testimony that is favorable to him.
So under normal circumstances, as long as there are other witnesses who can testify in court, the defendant will not be questioned, unless there is no second suspect————
But this case clearly does not match that.
Whether it is Yumiko Arakura, Osamu Hoshino, or Kengo Katsumata, they are all suspects of a crime. Even if the first two are ruled out, the last one may be the second culprit who caused Komiyama's death. How could he be allowed to testify?
However, to Hideo Tsuda's surprise, Yoshiya Oda, the prosecutor, actually agreed with Genmitsu's proposal.
"It seems that there is no one else who can testify in court. After all, whether in my inference or your inference, Yumiko Arakura, Osamu Hoshino, and Kengo Katsumata are not the main culprits in the murder of the deceased."
"It would be a waste of time to have them testify in court, Your Honor. The prosecutor agrees with the defense's proposal."
Prosecutor Oda's eyes fell on Kitano Shunsuke's face and noticed that the old detective's expression was unusually ugly, but he still said the second half of the sentence without hesitation.
"The prosecutor requests the defendant Hideo Tsuda to come to the witness stand to testify!"
The courtroom was very quiet.
The defense and the prosecutor rarely reached a consensus at the trial of a homicide case. Seeing this rare scene, the presiding judge nodded in surprise, then lowered the gavel and announced.
"Then, according to the wishes of the defense and the prosecutor, please invite the defendant in this case to testify in court as a witness."
"However, Attorney Xiang Yuan, what kind of testimony do you need from the defendant? This court has to remind you that questions and testimonies that are too subjective will not have legal effect. Think twice before you act."
After all, the court is no joke.
The only person who truly knows Yasushi Komiyama is Hideo Tsuda. If Hideo Tsuda gives some overly subjective testimony in order to exonerate himself at this time, the authenticity of the testimony will be questionable.
And Xiang Yuanguang obviously knew this as well.
He just snapped his fingers, glanced at Kitano Shunsuke's face, and then spoke directly.
"Mr. Tsuda, the defense is here and wants you to testify about the conversation that took place three days ago this morning."
The so-called conversation three days ago in the morning was naturally the conversation between Yasushi Komiyama and Hideo Tsuda.
According to the testimony given by the restaurant waiter, the conversation was considered an argument, and that evening, Yasushi Komiyama died in the Shizuoka Prefecture's Cultural Affairs Hall.
The two at least maintain a certain possible connection.
In addition to wanting to learn more about the case, the reason he asked Yuan Guang this question was that he also intended to take this opportunity to continue the questioning phase and find the fastest way to force Komiyayama Dunzi to appear in court.
————Speaking of which, there has been no news from Koshimizu Nanatsuki.
Is the expired high school detective still on his way from the train station to the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Department? Or has the autopsy of the deceased's body already begun there?
No matter what, there is not much time left for Koshimizu Nanatsuki!
