Chapter 764: Dragon-like Reversal
Chapter 764: Dragon-like Reversal (19)
Iwai Sayoko pushed her glasses. Although her voice was calm and not loud, everyone in the courtroom heard it clearly. Everyone was concentrating, waiting for Naoji Utsunomiya's final identification result.
At the defense table, Xiang Yuanguang gently tapped his forehead with his finger.
He hoped that things would not turn out the worst, however, things in the courtroom never developed the way he hoped, and this time was no exception.
"It's broken..."
The hedgehog-haired lawyer narrowed his eyes and muttered, and Nanatsuki Koshimizu who was standing next to him heard what he said.
The expired high school detective frowned, not knowing what Xiang Yuanguang meant by that, because there seemed to be nothing that could be [broken] at the scene.
The next moment, Nanatsuki Koshimizu reacted.
Because, the loud screams instantly resounded throughout the entire courtroom, and the string that Naoji Utsunomiya was holding behind the testimony desk broke completely.
All the cracked heart locks were broken at this moment.
The results are already evident.
"Trouble..."
He whispered to Yuan Guang.
It was obvious that Utsunomiya Naoji had indeed seen the so-called Tojo Clan high-ranking official who had given him the weapon.
The real mastermind behind the scenes is among the photos that Yuya Kazami took out.
"What? What happened?!"
The blond judge in the main seat looked at the scene in disbelief.
Although the presiding judge of the Third Court had often seen prisoners collapse due to the breaking of their heart chains, the blond presiding judge had seen such situations very rarely compared to the presiding judge of the Third Court.
Therefore, the presiding judge did not realize what was happening. Only Iwai Sayoko, who was standing behind the inspection seat, touched her chin, looking thoughtful.
————Until just now, Utsunomiya Naoji's mentality was relatively stable, but why did his mentality change drastically after seeing these photos?
Iwai Sayoko believes that there is only one answer————
no doubt.
The high-ranking member of the Tojo Clan who gave Naoji Utsunomiya weapons and resources and ordered him to assassinate Prosecutor Kusakabe was in one of the photos that Yuya Kazami took out.
This incident is inextricably linked to the Dongcheng Society.
Xiang Yuanguang had previously refuted that the matter regarding Shiliang Sheng could not be a move by Dongchenghui to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
The Chief Prosecutor pushed up his glasses.
Although it sounds outrageous that the Tojo Clan chose to sacrifice the third-generation president of the Tojo Clan, Sera Masaru, in order to sever its ties with the assassination of Kusakabe.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible. After all, it is well known that...
Sometimes, the top management will never change. The only people who will change are those at the top.
Just like the government in England, ministers come and go, but civil servants remain. The Dongcheng Society can lose Shi Liangsheng, but it cannot lose a lot of interests, so it is inevitable that it will do so.
The two bailiffs standing next to Naoji Utsunomiya were a little panicked. They subconsciously stepped forward and tried to control Naoji Utsunomiya.
However, Naoji Utsunomiya's behavior was beyond their expectations. The mutated defendant roared madly and then hit the ground (the table) with his head.
Once, once, and again. Such crazy behavior made the two bailiffs a little hesitant. After all, it is not illegal for a mentally ill person to kill or injure others, and it is still within the legal system of this country...
It is normal for a mentally ill person to kill someone today and be acquitted tomorrow. If they go up to control Utsunomiya Naoji now, there will be no reward if they succeed, and they will be punished if they fail.
If you just stand there and watch without moving, maybe you would just need to bow a few times to apologize.
"what are you doing?"
Yuya Kazami grabbed Naoji Utsunomiya's body with his backhand and controlled him to prevent Naoji Utsunomiya from continuing his transformation.
But what Fumihiro Yu didn't expect was that as soon as he reached out to grab Utsunomiya Naoji, Utsunomiya Naoji's body suddenly stiffened and fell backwards.
Without having time to think about it, Yuya Kazami subconsciously supported Naoji Utsunomiya, but saw that Naoji Utsunomiya seemed to have lost consciousness.
Suddenly, the public security officer in charge of the trial felt a chill on his scalp. Could it be that he would be blamed for this sudden incident?
Yuya Kazami's face looked grim.
Without the presiding judge or anyone else saying anything, he had already placed his finger under Utsunomiya Naoji's nose, checked his breath, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
What? I just fainted.
"Officer Kazami, how is the defendant? Is he seriously injured?"
The blond judge in the main seat asked with concern.
Today's trial was about to come to an end, but this incident suddenly happened. If it is not handled properly, the next trial will be very troublesome.
Seeing the unconscious Naoji Utsunomiya, many audience members sitting in the gallery of the courtroom looked at each other in confusion and started talking.
Amid the noise, Kazami Yuya raised his head and said loudly to the chief judge,
"Your Honor, the defendant just fainted. It may be because of his excessive emotions or because he just hit the testimony table repeatedly."
"I request that the defendant be allowed to leave the courtroom for further medical examination to prevent any accidents that may happen to him during the trial."
Hearing what Yuya Kazami said, the blond judge in the main seat nodded repeatedly and replied.
"Then let's do as Officer Kazami suggests. Prosecutor Iwai, Lawyer Mugen, do you have any other opinions on this?"
The judge raised the gavel.
However, before lowering the gavel and making the final decision, he politely asked the opinions of the defense and the inspection bench.
However, since the presiding judge had already made a clear inclination, neither Mukai Genmitsu on the defense bench nor Iwai Sayoko on the prosecutor bench could change the presiding judge's mind.
What's more, Xiang Yuanguang was planning to end today's trial here, so he had no reason to reject the presiding judge's idea.
On the other hand, although Sayoko Iwai at the prosecutor's seat had already realized that the circumstances of this case seemed to be different from what Genmitsuru had previously deduced.
But now the only defendant who cannot tell the truth has fallen into a coma and it is impossible for him to tell the truth to the court today.
Rather than refute the presiding judge's request that the defendant remain in the courtroom until he wakes up to testify again, it is better to go with the flow and move the trial to the next day.
After all, this might be barely permissible in a secret trial, but it would seem too inhumane in a public trial.
Even if the presiding judge agrees, the citizens in the audience will not agree.
"The prosecutors have no objection to this."
