Chapter 766: Dragon-like Reversal
Chapter 766: Dragon-like Reversal (21)
That's right, just as Yuya Kazami said.
If there is any senior executive of the Tojo Clan who fully meets these two seemingly contradictory premises, it can only be the current leader of the Shimano Group, Shimano Tai.
If Xiang Yuanguang had not previously presented last night's special murder incident as evidence.
Perhaps whether Shimano Tai is the real culprit behind this incident remains to be discussed. However, when Kazami Yuya fully linked the two incidents together, a seemingly reasonable and irrefutable inference was fully formed.
————Given the current evidence, it is difficult to refute.
Xiang Yuanguang frowned.
He didn't know that the relationship between Shimano Tai and Sera Masaru had become so bad. After all, even when the diplomat murder incident happened, a person named Shimano Tai had never really appeared.
The first time I heard about it was when Kazama Shintaro mentioned it to him on the phone.
If he knew that the relationship between Shimano Ta and Sera Masaru had become so bad, he might even use a sniper rifle to murder Sera Masaru and seize the position of the fourth-generation chairman of the Tojo Clan.
He might not have thrown out this piece of evidence so easily on the first day.
“The problem is gradually emerging.”
Koshimizu Nanatsuki folded her hands over her elbows and shook her head with emotion.
She felt that Xiang Yuanguang's decision to simply throw out all the existing evidence in an attempt to eliminate all room for rebuttal by the prosecutor at once, thus terminating today's trial, was ill-considered.
And now, the consequences of Xiang Yuanguang's actions have clearly been revealed.
————If they want to reverse the situation, they must invite Shimano Tai to the courtroom as a witness in the next trial. However, such a gangster may not do so.
After all, Shimano Tai is completely different from the gangsters that Nanatsuki Koshimizu knows.
Even the leader of the Lavender Group in Shikoku at least behaves in a moral manner, but Shimano Tai has reached the point where he completely disregards the moral code of the underworld. Even the Japanese public security authorities have received news of the discord.
It is hard to imagine that Shimano Tai would be willing to testify as a witness at the next trial.
“…Although there is this problem, it is not a disadvantage for me.”
Xiang Yuanguang heard the voice of Koshimizu Nanatsuki.
However, he still looked very calm and composed, with only a slight frown on his brows.
"Although we have lost our dominant position, we have gained new information that we could not obtain before. The remaining time today is enough for us to further investigate and find new evidence."
(That being said, things seem a little off.)
(If the person who kidnapped Haibara was not a member of the Omi Alliance, but a senior figure in the Tojo Clan who organized the assassination, then that senior figure might be angry about the outcome of today's trial.)
The thoughts and whispered conversations of the two people at the defense table were unknown to the blond presiding judge.
As the highest authority in the current court, the presiding judge showed a somewhat surprised expression, as if he had not expected it at all.
"What? These two cases can actually be connected in this way?"
"In that case, the new evidence produced by Attorney Xiang Yuan not only cannot prove that this case has nothing to do with the East City Association, but instead proves that this case is related to one of the top leaders of the East City Association?"
Not only was the presiding judge surprised, but even the audience was shocked. Many people did not expect the case to unfold in this way. After all, the top leaders of the East City Association failed to assassinate the prosecutor, so they assassinated the president of the East City Association to save the king. This is the type of thing that normal people would never believe.
However, according to what Kazami Yuya said, this situation does not seem so hard to believe...
"Mr. Judge, it seems that the situation is already very clear."
Iwai Sayoko, who was standing at the prosecutor's seat, cast an admiring look at Kazami Yuya, who was behind the testimony stand.
Although the woman in charge of public security had been slacking off from beginning to end, it had to be admitted that the output of the opponent at this moment was more powerful than her output in the entire game.
At this moment, she believed that even the legendary hedgehog-haired lawyer would have nothing to say.
"Regarding the attempted assassination of Prosecutor Kusakabe, the real culprit behind it is undoubtedly the work of the Tojo Clan's top brass, and it is most likely Shimano Tai, the leader of the Tojo Clan's Shimano Group."
"I believe that the presiding judge can issue an order to initiate the arrest procedure for Shimano Tai, the leader of the Tojo Clan's Shimano Group."
Yuya Kazami slammed the folder containing the photos on the table and said angrily.
"To deal with such a lawless person, we must strike hard."
"It is impossible to get Shimano Tai to appear in court as a witness in this trial with a simple summons procedure. At the critical moment, critical means must be used. Your Excellency the presiding judge, what do you think?"
The words of the person in charge of public security seemed a bit aggressive.
However, what Yuya Kazami said hit the heart of many audience members in the gallery.
After all, today's trial is open to the public. Shimano Tai knows that the current situation in the court is unfavorable to him, so Shimano Tai will definitely refuse to appear in court as a witness. The total duration of the trial is only three days.
If Shimano Tairu drags it out for three days, wouldn't that mean a serious crime becomes a minor one, and a big crime becomes a small one?
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
Even Iwai Sayoko, who was standing at the prosecutor's seat, pushed up her glasses and cast her gaze on the face of the hedgehog-haired lawyer at the defense seat, intending to see what expression this legendary lawyer, whose name shook the world, would have.
However, Xiang Yuanguang's reaction was beyond Iwai Sayoko's expectations.
Even in the face of such an emergency, Xiang Yuanguang was still able to maintain a calm expression, as if what was happening now had no effect on him at all.
The next moment, the hedgehog-headed lawyer slammed his hands on the table and spoke without hesitation.
"A pound of pears! The defense has objections to this!"
At this moment, a strong wind blew and swept across the entire courtroom.
The blond presiding judge, who had softened his attitude after hearing the support of many listeners and was about to lower the gavel to agree to initiate the arrest procedure for Yuya Kazami, was awakened by the wind and the gavel in his hand fell to the ground with a sound.
Yuya Kazami, who was at the testimony stand, grabbed both sides of the stand tightly with his hands and frowned.
He turned his head to look at Xiang Yuanguang who was sitting behind the defense seat. It was hard to imagine what kind of dissenting inference this legendary hedgehog-haired lawyer could make in this situation.
After all, Xiang Yuanguang only had less than a day to investigate this case.
It is impossible to compare with the Japanese Public Security Bureau in terms of intelligence. The fact that they can come up with one emergency incident is already the limit. Could it be that Xiang Yuanguang has other experts in his hands besides these?
