Chapter 732 The Beneficiary is Someone Else
Chapter 732 The Beneficiary is Someone Else
A gangster who tried to shoot the Public Security Bureau's top prosecutor, Makoto Kusakabe.
They are the remaining members of the Oni Tiger Group, a gang organization under the Tojo Clan. Although they are not a direct organization like the Kazama Group, the Shimano Group, and the Nishikiyama Group, their relationship with the Tojo Clan is not something that can be cut off easily.
Although the people of Beika Town have always been simple, pistols and explosives are not difficult to find.
However, if the remaining members of a mafia organization can easily take out a sniper rifle and accurately obtain the travel records of Japan's Ministry of Public Security's ace prosecutor Makoto Kusakabe, and arrange a sniper assassination.
That might not be too unreasonable. There must be other forces behind the Ghost Tiger Group.
Xiang Yuanguang's eyes fell on the case information given to him by Kiryu Kazuma.
"I don't know what you think, but the case files here do not contain any information that can prove that the remaining members of the Ghost Tiger Group were not assigned by the East City Association. At the same time, there is no evidence that can prove that other forces intervened."
"Mr. Kiryu, even if you tell me now, the Tojo Clan is definitely not the mastermind behind this incident."
"It doesn't make any sense to me, because you have been separated from the main force of the East City Society for ten years and have been excluded from the circle of core members of the East City Society. Even if they really did it, they told you that they didn't do it..."
"How would you know that?"
The hedgehog-headed lawyer's voice was calm, as if his mood was slowly returning to normal after a fight.
However, upon hearing his words, Kiryu Kazuma couldn't help but frown.
Because he was asked to come to Xiang Yuanguang to defend the case and tell him that this incident was definitely not the work of the Tojo Clan, but the leader of the Kazama Group, Shintaro Kazama, who was equivalent to his adoptive father.
Saying this to Genmitsu is not equivalent to saying that there is a possibility that Kazama Shintaro is deceiving him and hiding the truth?
If it weren't for the fact that Kiryu Kazuma's temper was one of the best in the underworld, if it was Goro Majima or Akira Nishikiyama from ten years ago, they would probably have started a fight with Mukaiguchi Mitsuru again after hearing these words.
After all, in the world of the underworld, righteousness comes first, and gangsters who don't abide by morality cannot survive.
"...Mr. Xiang Yuan, then, what do you want in exchange for accepting the defense of this case?"
Kiryu Kazuma's expression was extremely serious, and he asked seriously.
The answer he got made his serious expression relax a little.
Because Xiang Yuanguang did not directly refuse the defense commission as he had done before, he put forward the conditions for accepting the commission.
"I want the East City Association to produce evidence that other forces were involved in this incident."
"Mr. Kiryu, since you have been in prison, you should have also experienced a trial. In a trial, a lawyer needs accurate, reliable and powerful evidence in order to win a favorable verdict for his witness."
"Even if I believe that the Dongcheng Association did not instruct the Ghost Tiger Group to do this, there must be someone else who did this."
"Then the presiding judge will not announce in court that the East City Association has nothing to do with this case just because of a word from you or me. Moreover, this trial is a trial of a public safety incident. This is my condition—"
The hedgehog-haired lawyer folded up the case materials in his hand and put them down, then spoke.
"As long as you can get any evidence that can prove that a third party was involved in this matter, I will defend you."
————Very reasonable.
Even though Kazuma Kiryu has never worked as a lawyer.
But as an absolute backbone of the Dojima Group, a direct organization of the former Tojo Clan, it is impossible for him to be completely ignorant of matters concerning lawyers. Of course, he also knows that the defense lawyer's defense is based on real and reliable evidence.
If Dongcheng will let Xiang Yuanguang appear in court as the defense lawyer.
But if he could not provide any evidence to prove that the East City Association had nothing to do with the incident, or that a third party had intervened in the incident, it would not only make fun of the existence of the East City Association, but also make Xiang Yuanguang lose the case in vain. "Thank you, Mr. Xiang Yuan."
Kazuma Kiryu nodded and prepared to leave with the little girl.
However, before he left, Xiang Yuanguang asked one last question.
"You seem to have a good relationship with Kazama Shintaro. So, is he free today? I want to meet him."
The hedgehog-haired lawyer's question surprised Kiryu Kazuma.
He didn't expect that Xiang Yuanguang actually planned to meet with the number one figure in the Fengjian Group. However, a big lawyer of Xiang Yuanguang's level is also a celebrity in this city. He believed that Team Leader Fengjian would not refuse this request.
Therefore, Kiryu Kazuma nodded and gave his answer before leading his men away.
"I understand. I will tell Team Leader Kazama. Please wait for my call back."
Tick, tick, tick.
The figures of Kiryu Kazuma and Sawamura Haruka gradually disappeared from sight.
With Xiang Yuanguang's superior hearing, he could already hear the flashing sound of alarm bells, and immediately knew that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department police car that teacher Kobayashi Sumiko had called when she called the police was already heading this way.
He held the folder in his left hand and put it in his pocket with his right hand, preparing to leave.
However, Conan suddenly spoke at this time.
“I feel like there’s something fishy going on here.”
"Perhaps the force behind the assassination of the Ministry of Public Security's top prosecutor by the Ghost Tiger Group was not the Dongcheng Clan, but some other underworld force. After all, there is no benefit for the Dongcheng Clan to do this."
The Death Student pushed up his plain glasses.
"If the top leaders of the Tojo Clan had any sense, they wouldn't specifically assign gang members who have a grudge against Kusakabe Makoto to carry out revenge if they wanted to. That would be tantamount to an open provocation to the Japanese public security."
"I think that such a large mafia organization should not be so poor that it doesn't even have the money to hire someone to kill someone."
"On the other hand, if the East City Clan suffers a huge blow and damage due to the recent assassination attempt, then the influence of the East City Clan in Tokyo will be greatly reduced."
"This may give mafia forces from other places an opportunity to enter the Kanto region and even Tokyo."
Are they gangsters from other places?
The members of the Lavender Group whom he met in Shikoku in the past appeared in Xiang Yuanguang's mind.
But he immediately eliminated the Lavender Group from his suspects. After all, the leader of the Lavender Group was still serving his sentence. According to the abstract concept of time in this world, it would not be so easy for him to get out.
Then it could only be some other underworld organization that he didn't know about.
The hedgehog-haired lawyer asked.
"So, which organization do you think it is?"
The Death God pupil pushed up his plain glasses and replied.
"Omi United."
