Chapter 767: Dragon-like Reversal (22)
Apart from this, does Xiang Yuanguang have any other evidence?
The answer is no, of course not.
During the short period of investigation, Xiang Yuanguang found only two things that could be considered as evidence, even though Feng Jianyu had now given such a devastating counter-inference.
It was also impossible for him to produce a third piece of evidence out of thin air to refute Yuya Kazami's counter-inference.
However, this does not mean that Xiang Yuanguang has no other options.
After all, a lawyer’s weapons in the courtroom are not only evidence, but also command and an indispensable skill for Xiang Yuanguang’s lineage—bluffing!
He stretched out his hand to Yuan Guang, and his ability of speech bullet was activated, bringing up a strong wind.
As the inheritor of the Ayazato-ryu lineage, coupled with the strong wind that accompanied the firing of the word bullet, no one could see through his bluff in the courtroom, absolutely no one!
"A pound of pear! The defense believes that Officer Kazami's reasoning cannot be used as a reason to initiate the arrest procedure!"
The hedgehog-haired lawyer pointed at Yuya Kazami who was standing behind the testimony desk.
As the public security officer in charge of this trial, Feng Jianyuya also turned to look at Xiang Yuanguang with some confusion in his eyes, unable to understand what Xiang Yuanguang meant by what he said.
Even the blond judge in the main seat was a little surprised by this, and he asked.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, can you come up with any other counterarguments to this?"
"The inference put forward by Officer Kazami is now very complete in the eyes of this court, and the logic is also closed. Why can't we agree with the Japanese public security to initiate the arrest procedure?"
The blond judge sitting in the main seat said this.
"Although there are some inappropriate procedures, it is reasonable to do what is necessary when necessary."
Iwai Sayoko, the chief prosecutor, nodded slightly.
The reason why the Japanese police are notorious throughout Japan is that they do things by any means necessary. Although this is a bad thing, it may not be a bad thing when it comes to handling cases.
After all, the Japanese police have a very high crime-solving rate. If such a request is made at this time, no one will doubt that there is anything wrong with the behavior of the Japanese police. They will only think that the Japanese police have always been like this and it is not surprising.
"I have to say, what Officer Kazami said just now makes sense. If the photo that Utsunomiya Naoji was looking at was really Shimano Tai's photo, I'm afraid that's indeed the case."
Xiang Yuanguang's voice sounded.
He put his hands on his hips, seemed very sure of what he said, and stared at Yuya Kazami who was standing behind the testimony stand.
"But Officer Kazami, is the photo that Utsunomiya Naoshi just looked at really a photo of Shimano Tai?"
The spiky-haired defense attorney picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and spoke slowly.
Hearing this, there was once again an uproar among the audience in the gallery.
Even the presiding judge looked surprised. He hesitated for a moment before speaking to the defense as if to confirm.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, what you mean is..."
"What I mean is that Officer Kazami is not Utsunomiya Naoji himself. He has no way of knowing which photo Utsunomiya Naoji saw before he fell into a coma."
Xiang Yuanguang took another sip of coffee, seeming to be a little thirsty. In fact, he was thinking about what to say next in order to gain people's trust.
After a brief silence, he continued.
"The defense believes that before the defendant Utsunomiya Naoji woke up and said which photo he saw, Officer Kazami's inference could only exist as a hypothesis and could not be regarded as a real event." "Even if Officer Kazami did see that the photo that the defendant Utsunomiya Naoji saw before he fell into a coma was Shimano Tai, it does not mean that the person who gave him the weapon and asked him to assassinate Prosecutor Kusakabe was Shimano Tai."
"Because the defendant became insane after seeing Shimano Tai's photo, it doesn't mean that Shimano Tai is the real murderer. Moreover, the arrest procedure is initiated against the criminal————"
"Shimano is only a suspect, that is, a person of doubt, at the most extreme level. To directly initiate the arrest procedure seems to be a bit too unjustifiable by the court."
The hedgehog-headed lawyer tapped his forehead lightly with his finger, as if he was thinking about how to continue his speech.
However, the courtroom was already silent by this time.
After all, what Xiang Yuanguang said just now had blocked all possibilities, just as he had just assumed.
Even the worst possibility is that Utsunomiya Naoji did become mentally ill after seeing Shimano Tai's photo.
That doesn't prove that Shimano Tai has any necessary connection with the incident. The prosecutor can only propose to start the investigation process after today's trial. The arrest procedure cannot be directly initiated without evidence or testimony, only assumptions.
"...I have to say, Lawyer Xiang Yuan's thinking is really comprehensive..."
The blond judge shook his head.
Then he suddenly realized that this action seemed a little inappropriate, and nodded quickly before speaking.
"Although Officer Kazami's reasoning just now does make sense, it is based on the premise that the defendant Utsunomiya Naoji really identified the photo of the Tojo Clan's senior executive that he encountered at the beginning as Shimano Tai's photo."
"Utsunomiya Naoji is still in a coma. In my opinion..."
"It is still unclear whether it was Shimano Tai who gave Utsunomiya Naoji the weapons and orders. Therefore, the court decides that today's trial will end here."
"Please ask the defense lawyer to collect more evidence related to this case after the trial ends today."
"Prosecutor Iwai and Officer Kazami, I hope you can collect evidence with accurate directions, and not be vague like in today's trial."
"Well, now, adjourn the court!"
The blond judge raised the gavel and brought it down.
The Chief Prosecutor, who was about to say something, was stunned.
Iwai Sayoko could see that the presiding judge of the First Trial Chamber did not want to dwell on the topic of arrest procedures without evidence any longer, so he asked for a recess so quickly.
That’s right. In the past, public security cases were all tried in secret, so the presiding judge would tend to favor some Japanese public security officers.
In this trial which is completely open to the public, if the presiding judge agrees with the Japanese public security's view of acting first and asking questions later, his impartiality as the presiding judge will probably be questioned.
In other words——
If the Japanese police cannot provide further evidence, the presiding judge will not approve the arrest procedure.
(…It seems that we need to collect more evidence.)
Iwai Sayoko frowned and thought.
