[~ Additional information on the attempted assassination of Prosecutor Kusakabe~]

[Testimony begins]

"Ladies and gentlemen, after further investigation by our side yesterday, we can confirm the following facts."

"The sniper rifle that Utsunomiya Naoji forced police officer Yamabe Koichi to use in this case came from a transaction within the Tojo Clan at a parking lot in Beika-cho. The trader has been arrested by the Japanese public security and the transaction receipt has been obtained."

"The mastermind behind the three defendants' attempt to assassinate Prosecutor Kusakabe is actually the leader of the Tojo Clan's Shimano Group, Shimano Tai."

"Prosecutor Iwai has already mentioned the motive for the assassination, so I won't repeat it here."

"As for why we can conclude that Shimano Tai is the mastermind behind this case, in addition to being able to find the transaction between the Tojo Clan and a certain businessman, the defendant Utsunomiya Naoji also identified him after he regained his sanity."

"Yes, the defendant Utsunomiya Naoji identified Shimano Tai as the person who assigned them the task."

"This can be confirmed directly with the defendant, Mr. Utsunomiya Naoji, during the trial. In addition, we will submit the above documents as evidence in the trial of this case and submit them to the court record."

"That's it."

[End of testimony]

Compared to Sayoko Iwai's performance, Yuya Kazami's performance is obviously much better.

But this is strange. Although the courtroom seems to be a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder, which will expose the true colors of anyone who appears in the courtroom, it obviously does not have such an outstanding effect on Japanese public security officers like Yuya Kazami.

Because they are the ones who have actually been to the smoke-filled gun battle scenes and experienced life-and-death struggles.

The pressure from the Tribunal alone could not really affect the mental state of Yuya Kazami and others.

"Well, what is the evidence? Officer Kazami, please hand it over."

The presiding judge in the main seat nodded slightly and then spoke.

The bailiff then walked to the testimony stand, took the document from Yuya Kazami, and then brought it to the main bench, handing it to the presiding judge to review and confirm the authenticity of the document.

Just by glancing at the contents of the document, the presiding judge's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Then he frowned and his face turned serious.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Yuanguang on the defense bench couldn't help but frown.

Why did the presiding judge's clear and stupid eyes suddenly change? What kind of heavyweight evidence did the Japanese public security party submit to make the presiding judge change so much?
The other party said that the above evidences submitted are the transaction records between Dongcheng Association and the traders?

Could it be that the proportion of such transaction records was unexpectedly large, which is why the presiding judge took it seriously?

Without saying anything else, the presiding judge nodded and asked the bailiff to place the documents on the evidence table. He then raised the gavel, lowered it, and spoke with a serious face.

"This court recognizes the authenticity of the evidence just submitted by the Japanese public security."

“Now, this court declares that [the dealer’s trading records] are admitted as exhibits into the court record.”

————The trader’s trading records?
There was a hint of surprise in Xiang Yuanguang's eyes.

Although the presiding judge is not very reliable, if we talk about the blond presiding judge of the First Court, he actually still has some professional ability. He is not like the old presiding judge of the Third Court who makes cold jokes from time to time.

Since the other party said that it was the transaction record of the dealer, not the transaction record between the Dongcheng Association and the dealer, it seems that this transaction record is really a very important piece of evidence. The Japanese public security submitted all the transaction records at once, probably to take this opportunity to make the presiding judge firm in his determination to use this trial to crack down on Tokyo's underground forces?

It seems that the balance has tilted slightly towards the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

The blue lawyer picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu next to her had guessed something, she touched her chin and asked in a muttered voice.

"Xiang Yuan, generally speaking, evidence like transaction records are only shown in part, right? Isn't it against the rules for the Japanese public security to give out the entire transaction record at once in order to influence the presiding judge's opinion?"

After hearing the words of the expired high school female detective, she shook her head and replied.

"Of course not. The excerpts are only released to the public for viewing."

"Japanese public security officials have the right to submit evidence that they believe is relevant to the case. It is up to the presiding judge to decide how much to adopt. This is certainly not against the rules."

"However, in my opinion, this piece of evidence may not necessarily only play a negative role..."

In Xiang Yuanguang's sight, the attribute panel has emerged.

Although the other party conducted a surprise evidence raid and Xiang Yuanguang had never seen the words on those documents, it didn't matter. Since this thing had been added to the court records, the system would naturally record it as evidence.

Then, he can also check it through the [View Details] function in the system's court records.

"Hey, didn't Lawyer Xiang Yuan raise any direct objection this time?"

The blond judge was a little surprised.

Frankly speaking, it was strange that Xiang Yuanguang did not raise any objection and request to enter the questioning stage immediately after the witness gave his testimony.

However, this is also good, at least they don’t have to endure the eight-level gale now.

"Well, this court has just heard the testimony of the Japanese Public Security Officer Kazami. As the prosecutor of this case, Prosecutor Iwai, do you have anything to add or correct?"

The presiding judge turned his head and looked towards the prosecutor's seat.

However, Sayoko Iwai, the chief prosecutor, just shook her head slightly and said nothing more.

The prosecutors of the Public Security Department of the Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office are an extension of the will of the Japanese Public Security Bureau. This is even more so for her as the chief prosecutor. It is naturally impossible for her to give any other opinions after the Japanese Public Security Bureau presents testimony and evidence.

In fact, Yuya Kazami will also present these testimonies and evidence at this time.

In fact, Sayoko Iwai knew this a long time ago. This was also one of the preparations that the Japanese Public Security Bureau would make before the trial began. After all, if they wanted to provide enough evidence to kill Shimano Tai in a public trial, they had to plan.

"Then, please proceed to the questioning phase with Lawyer Yuan."

The blond judge turned his head to look at Xiang Yuanguang.

Xiang Yuanguang, who was sitting behind the defense table, was briefly blank-eyed, as if in a daze. After being silent for dozens of seconds, he seemed to have just woken up from a dream, picked up the coffee, took a sip, and then nodded.

"The defense will now begin the questioning phase."

————He already knew what was in the trader's trading records.
