Chapter 762: Dragon-like Reversal (17)
"No, not necessarily. If the attackers were really the East City Clan, they could have obtained the same type of sniper rifle and used it to kill their own people before the trial began."
"This will create a false impression of [frame-up], thereby clearing the suspicion that the Tojo Clan directed the defendant Utsunomiya Naoji to carry out this assassination..."
Iwai Sayoko narrowed her eyes, although she said that she would rethink the connection between the Tojo Clan and the case.
However, her current remarks were still directed at the Dongcheng Clan's remarks, using another possible "self-torture tactic" to try to refute Xiang Yuanguang's idea, so that today's trial could continue.
However, upon hearing this, Xiang Yuanguang shook his head slightly.
He rested one hand on his waist and held a coffee cup with the other, staring at Iwai Sayoko who was sitting in the prosecutor's seat. Then, he spoke confidently and bluntly.
"The defense feels that this possibility does not exist."
"I know what Prosecutor Iwai meant. The Tojo Clan is using a self-torture tactic to sacrifice the pawn to save the king. But, has Prosecutor Iwai ever thought about whether the Tojo Clan's third-generation president, Sera Masaru, can really be considered a pawn?"
The hedgehog-haired lawyer's voice was calm.
After hearing Xiang Yuanguang's guess, people in the audience also began to talk.
Just as Xiang Yuanguang said, it is indeed possible to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, but the problem is that even if the Dongcheng Society is held accountable by the Japanese police, it will at most be seriously damaged and it is impossible to be destroyed.
As the president of the Tojo Clan, Sera Masaru will never die as long as the Tojo Clan is not destroyed.
In other words, Sera Katsu is definitely not the "car", but the "commander" of the Tojo Clan.
On the contrary, as long as Sera Katsu is not dead, the other senior leaders and other forces of the Tojo Clan can be discarded. Therefore, the theory proposed by Iwai Sayoko is quite absurd.
"Prosecutor Iwai, you should know that Sera Masaru is the third generation president of the Tojo Clan."
"His position in the East City Association is unmatched. Excuse me, who is qualified to treat the third-generation president of the East City Association as a sacrifice and a "car" that can be discarded? Who has this qualification? Who has this ability?"
Xiang Yuanguang's voice was calm.
He took a sip of coffee and spoke slowly.
"It's obvious that no matter who the Tojo Clan sacrifices, they won't sacrifice their own commander as a car. This will definitely do more harm than good to the Tojo Clan. Therefore, Prosecutor Iwai's idea is not feasible."
"So, the defense believes that today's trial can end here and investigate the origins of the mysterious sniper."
"Mr. Judge, what do you think?"
Generally speaking, people who would say that today's trial can end here are often prosecutors who have absolute advantage in the prosecution seat. However, this time it was said by the defense lawyer in the defense seat.
Although this seemed somewhat contrary to the norm, the people in the court surprisingly did not feel anything strange.
It seemed as if the rhythm of the trial was supposed to unfold in this way. It would be a strange thing if the legendary lawyer Xiang Yuanguang was unable to suppress the chief prosecutor Iwai Sayoko, who had not personally taken action for a long time.
The blond judge in the main seat coughed twice and nodded slightly.
Now it is obvious that Prosecutor Iwai's words are no longer tenable.
Since this incident has brought up new characters and a new case, the Japanese public security authorities should indeed investigate the sniper who appeared in this new case and wait for the new investigation results before continuing the trial.
However, just as the presiding judge raised the gavel and was about to announce that the trial for the day was over.
An unexpected rebuttal came up.
"Your Excellency, I believe that if we want to determine whether the person who asked Utsunomiya Naoji to assassinate Prosecutor Kusakabe is actually a high-ranking member of the Tojo Clan, we can actually draw a conclusion during the trial." "Therefore, Your Excellency, please temporarily postpone the adjournment of the court until I finish my trial."
The voice came from near the testimony stand.
Mukai Genmitsu at the defense table and Iwai Sayoko at the prosecutor's table both turned their heads to look towards the seat next to the witness stand.
I saw that the public security officer in charge of this case, Yuya Kazami, was standing there.
There was a yellow file bag in his hand, and it seemed that the file bag had been brought into the courtroom at the beginning of the trial, but Feng Jianyu never explained what was in the file bag.
So both the defense lawyer and the prosecutor ignored this thing.
Until now, everyone's attention was finally focused on the file bag in Yuya Kazami's hand.
The blond judge frowned and asked in confusion.
"Officer Kazami, what does this mean? Could it be that the Japanese police have obtained new evidence?"
"Or has the Japanese Public Security Bureau confirmed that the person who ordered Utsunomiya Naoji is one of the high-ranking officials of the Tojo Clan... Or does Officer Kazami have any other ideas?"
In response to the presiding judge's questions, Yuya Kazami opened the yellow document bag in his hand.
Under everyone's gaze, he took out something very ordinary from his file bag.
Photos, a bunch of photos.
Seeing these photos, the blond judge showed a look of surprise.
He couldn't understand why Feng Jianyu took out these photos at this time, so he asked directly.
"Officer Kazami, I don't understand, what other purpose do you have for taking out these photos at this time?"
Iwai Sayoko didn't say anything, as if waiting for Kazami Yuya to explain.
However, Xiang Yuanguang from the defense frowned, realizing that something was wrong.
Although he didn't know the specific contents of these photos, the one on top looked very familiar, because it was the Dragon of Tojo Hall Island, Kazuma Kiryu, whom he had seen before at Teitan Elementary School.
Could it be that the photo that Yuya Kazami took out now is the photo of all the senior members of the Tojo Clan?
"…The Japanese public security investigation methods are indeed very diverse."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was standing next to Genmitsu, shook her head slightly.
"However, this should be the most convenient method for members of the official forces."
"Because they have resources far beyond those of an individual, any problem that can be solved by exhaustive enumeration is not a problem for them. It is not surprising that they would think of taking out all the photos of the top leaders and asking Utsunomiya Naoji to identify them."
It would be like a regular criminal case, if no detective came to help.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will choose to have the Forensic Division film all the circumstances at the scene and collect all the evidence, and also question and record statements from all the people present. Although this is troublesome, it is effective.
"…There shouldn't be any problem."
He whispered to Yuan Guang.
