Chapter 788: Dragon-like Reversal (27)
Facing a trial that seemed to have entered an unfavorable situation.
Xiang Yuanguang at the defense table still looked calm and composed, as if all this was not a big deal to him. Such calmness also made Iwai Sayoko at the prosecutor's table feel a little depressed.
She had some understanding of how the Japanese public security officers performed their tasks yesterday.
Naturally, he also knew the progress of Xiang Yuanguang's investigation. Generally speaking, Xiang Yuanguang's investigation progress was much slower than that of the Japanese Public Security Bureau. It was said that even the witness who was supposed to provide intelligence was taken away at the critical moment.
Xiang Yuanguang should not have any new evidence or witnesses that would be beneficial to the defense.
But the other party still looks as calm as ever. Is it his usual bluffing trick, or is it that everything is within Xiang Yuanguang's expectations until now?
Iwai Sayoko was a little confused about the situation.
But no matter what the chief prosecutor in the prosecution seat thinks, Xiang Yuanguang, as a defense lawyer, must start his questioning phase now————
"Officer Kazami."
The hedgehog-haired lawyer picked up the coffee and took a sip.
Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of Yuya Kazami, and then he asked directly.
"I want to question your second testimony [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 Bureau and the transaction receipt has been obtained]."
"Since you said you have obtained the transaction documents, then may I ask if the number of firearms on the transaction documents is exactly the same as that in this case? How many firearms such as sniper rifles were purchased?"
Asked Yuan Guang calmly.
"It is said that the East City Association conducted the transaction. Then, may I ask, which part of the East City Association conducted the transaction? Or is it that the identity of the trader cannot be determined, and it can only be roughly determined that the trader is a member of the East City Association?"
The blue lawyer hit the nail on the head as soon as he opened his mouth.
Yuya Kazami's gaze became a little serious.
He had to say that even if Xiang Yuanguang had never seen the transaction document, the questions he asked were fatal enough. These two problems were indeed difficult for the Japanese police to solve.
Because the person who traded with the Tojo Clan members was a member of the Mika Construction Company.
————This company is a shell company whose main business is underground smuggling and trafficking. One of the traders arrested by the Japanese Public Security Bureau was a senior member of the Beika Construction Company who was caught in one fell swoop.
However, it is well known that traders in Beika Town never consider the other party's identity when buying or selling things.
Although someone did buy a sniper rifle from the dealer, the buyer's identity could not be confirmed. Only the signature of the Tojo Clan was found on the transaction document, and it could not be confirmed that it was Shimano Tai.
Another question is how many such sniper rifles were purchased.
To be honest, the sniper rifle appeared many times on the transaction list, but there was actually only one transaction order for the sniper rifle of the case model. In other words, there was only one sniper rifle of the same model that was actually traded.
However, in this series of cases, two sniper rifles of the same model were used to commit crimes.
In other words, even if it can be confirmed that this transaction order was set up by Shimano Tai, there is no way to completely convict Shimano Tai of committing this series of cases through this transaction order.
If the Japanese public security wants to properly and completely convict the suspect, it is necessary to find the other missing sniper rifle.
————However, having said that, the same type of bullet may not only be fired by the same type of sniper rifle. Feng Jianyu also thinks that if the search is based on the sniper rifle on the transaction order.
Then it is still possible to find different models of sniper rifles using the same caliber. Although Xiang Yuanguang was already quite difficult to answer during the first interrogation phase of the second trial, in his opinion, it was not completely impossible to answer, but he just needed to consider the words of the answer a little bit...
Yuya Kazami tapped his fingers on the table subconsciously, giving himself ideas for writing his testimony.
Seeing that Yuya Kazami seemed to be thinking and not replying immediately, Yuan Guang was not in a hurry. Instead, he raised the coffee cup, took another sip of coffee, and waited for Yuya Kazami's reply.
The audience in the courtroom also became noisy with discussions.
After all, the person in charge of public security sent by the Japanese Public Security Bureau this time obviously has higher professional ability than the other persons in charge of public security and criminal affairs who were pushed to the front, but now he is also stumped by Xiang Yuanguang's question.
This means that the two issues just mentioned by Xiang Yuanguang were not within the expectations of the Japanese public security.
As a result, as the person in charge of public security, Yuya Kazami had to think about the plan he had received before the trial in the courtroom, and rethink and consider the further testimony to ensure that there were no mistakes.
"Hey, Officer Kazami is silent, which is rare."
The blond judge in the main seat said with some surprise.
However, the chief prosecutor standing at the prosecutor's seat shook his head slightly, signaling the presiding judge not to speak at this time, so as not to interfere with and affect the testimony of Yuya Kazami at the testimony stand.
Immediately, the presiding judge became serious and lowered his voice.
After about a minute or so.
Yuya Kazami then answered.
"Attorney Xiang Yuan, there is only one order for a sniper rifle of the same model as the one seized in the assassination of Prosecutor Kusakabe. If nothing goes wrong, it will be the one we seized."
I heard Yuya Kazami's voice.
There was an uproar in the courtroom.
Since the Japanese public security said that they only found one sniper rifle of the same model, it does not match the previous facts of this case. After all, there were two sniper rifles involved in this series of cases.
If the sniper rifle in the Tojo Clan's order is the one seized by Yuya Kazami.
What about the same model of sniper rifle that Shimano Tai used to assassinate the fourth-generation leader of the Tojo Clan, Sera Masaru? If the location of that sniper rifle cannot be determined, doesn't it mean that there are still loopholes in the trial of this case?
I heard the noise from the audience.
The chief judge in the main seat raised the gavel and lowered it.
Suddenly, the entire courtroom gradually became quiet under the sound of the presiding judge's gavel.
The blond judge also showed a serious expression and asked.
"Since the Japanese Public Security Bureau has only found an order for one sniper rifle of the same model."
"Then how can this piece of evidence be considered as evidence that can convict Shimano Tai? Isn't there another sniper rifle of the same model missing from this case?"
