Chapter 748: Dragon-like Reversal (3)
—————June 12, 9:03 a.m. —————
—————Tokyo District, First Court——————
The door of the courtroom was pushed open.
The prosecutor of this trial, Sayoko Iwai, the chief prosecutor of the Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office, walked quickly into the room with a stack of documents, came to the prosecutor's seat, and her eyes fell on the defense seat.
Defense lawyer Xiang Yuanguang is a legendary lawyer in Tokyo and an undefeated legend after his comeback.
It is said that this barrister with a hedgehog-like hairstyle not only has a terrifying repressive power in the legal world, but also has a huge influence in other areas. Perhaps this has something to do with his background.
Iwai Sayoko's gaze fell on Genmi Hikaru's hairstyle.
However, although she had seen it in the photo, when she actually saw this special hedgehog-like hairstyle, she couldn't help but secretly marvel at the fact that young people of this era really have their own unique aesthetic views.
Under normal circumstances, Sayoko Iwai, as the chief prosecutor, is actually far away from the trial front line.
If it weren't for the fact that the victim this time was the ace prosecutor among her subordinates, Makoto Kusakabe, and the rules required the superior prosecutor to appear in court for the trial, it would have been other ordinary prosecutors from the Ministry of Public Security who would have appeared in court for the trial.
(And no, it really makes no difference which prosecutor appears in court.)
(Except for Kusakabe who sometimes stands against the Japanese Public Security Bureau and gives some evidence that does not match the Japanese Public Security Bureau's inference, other prosecutors from the Public Security Bureau are the type who absolutely stand on the side of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.)
(Like me.)
Iwai Sayoko spread out the case documents on the table.
This was a very rare occasion for her to appear in court in person, so she had put some effort into the case. At least she was well aware of the circumstances of the three cases involved in this public safety incident.
Next, all we have to do is follow the Japanese police’s idea and defeat this hedgehog-like defense lawyer.
By having the three defendants convicted by the presiding judge, the Tojo Clan, which is behind the remnants of the Onitō-gumi, could also be dragged into the water, thus achieving the strategic goal of the Japanese Public Security in one fell swoop.
"Oh, isn't this Prosecutor Iwai? I haven't seen you in a long time!"
The blond judge sitting in the main seat said with some surprise.
As the presiding judge of the First Trial Chamber, he has dealt with many prosecutors from the Ministry of Public Security, and the chief prosecutor, Sayoko Iwai, is the direct superior of the prosecutors from the Ministry of Public Security.
The last time he saw it was a case many years ago, before Sayoko Iwai took office as chief prosecutor.
The trial of this public safety incident was actually conducted by Sayoko Iwai, the chief prosecutor, in person. It seems that the Public Security Department of the Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office is determined to establish solid evidence against the three defendants this time.
"Well, long time no see, Judge."
Iwai Sayoko nodded slightly and responded.
The blond presiding judge was not surprised by this. After all, they would probably only meet again in the next few days. There would probably be no more cases where the chief prosecutor would appear in court in person to try the case. It was just a matter of time before they were unfamiliar with each other.
His gaze shifted from Iwai Sayoko to Mukai Genmitsu in the defense seat.
The blond presiding judge had actually only met this famous defense lawyer in Tokyo a few times. He basically heard about Xiang Yuanguang from his brother, the presiding judge of the Third Trial Chamber.
He actually met Xiang Yuanguang during the trial of the case handled by the United States prosecutor Dante.
It was also a trial of a public case, and Xiang Yuanguang left a deep impression on him, both in terms of momentum and martial arts prowess - not everyone can easily leap over the ceiling of the courtroom.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, you really like defending public security cases."
"It seems like it's been less than half a month since we last met? Now you appear in the first trial court again... So, Lawyer Xiang Yuan, how confident are you about the defense of this case?" The blond presiding judge asked curiously.
In response to the questioning of the blond judge, Xiang Yuanguang simply stretched out his hand, picked up a cup of coffee from somewhere, took a sip, and then shook his head.
"How confident we are will only be known after the trial begins."
In fact, he had no confidence at all that the three defendants could get away with it.
The actions of these three remnants of the Ghost Tiger Group are already quite clear. The points that can be defended are limited to the forces behind the remnants of the Ghost Tiger Group. Their guilt is an irreversible result.
"How much evidence do you think the prosecutor has?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki stood next to Genmiko and asked.
Xiang Yuanguang took another sip of coffee and replied calmly.
"I don't know, but there will definitely be no perjury, and that's enough."
After all, this case was personally followed up by the Japanese Public Security Bureau's Liaison Investigator. Unless the Liaison Investigator's purpose was to make this incident an ironclad case, the Chief Prosecutor, who is an extension of the Japanese Public Security Bureau's power, would certainly not use false evidence.
There was no need to point this out to Minamoto no Mitsu specifically, as Koshimizu Nanatsuki knew it in her mind.
She shook her head, sighed, and was too lazy to say anything more.
The police officer in charge of the trial also pushed the door open at this time.
It was none other than the Japanese Public Security member, Yuya Kazami, who had previously talked with Genmitsu Mukai in the attached lounge of the First Courtroom.
"It seems that I am not too late. Sorry, I just went to get some new information."
Yuya Kazami said with some apology.
Then he placed the information in his hand on the table.
The level of information made Iwai Sayoko look a little puzzled.
This is highly different from the information she had seen before. Combined with what Yuya Kazami said about obtaining some new information in the middle, could it be that the Japanese Public Security Bureau has made some new progress in the investigation?
————Forget it, since no one from the Japanese Public Security Bureau asked her to change the direction of attack, she didn’t need to change it.
Now that she has reached the position of Chief Prosecutor, Iwai Sayoko still has quite a lot of experience on how to do things. Since there is no requirement to change it, she can just do things as before, and if there is any problem, it will not be her fault.
"Now that Officer Kazami has arrived, the court will prepare to begin the trial."
The blond judge sitting in the main seat sat up straight, looking quite serious.
Then he raised the gavel and brought it straight down.
The crisp knocking sounds instantly resounded throughout the courtroom, and the entire courtroom became quiet.
"This court will ask the defense and prosecutors about their preparations for the last time, and then the trial will officially begin!"
