Chapter 790: Dragon-like Reversal
Chapter 790: Dragon-like Reversal (28)
"Officer Kazami just said that one of the reasons why the Japanese Public Security Bureau concluded that Shimano Tai was the mastermind behind this case was that they found out about the transactions between the Tojo Clan and a certain businessman."
"Excuse me, have the Japanese public security found any transaction bills or transaction personnel inside the Dongcheng Society?"
Xiang Yuanguang's fingers tapped lightly on the wall of the coffee cup.
However, before he could finish his words, Sayoko Iwai, who had remained silent since the opening of the court session, finally spoke, and the chief prosecutor slammed the table at the prosecutor's seat with one hand.
In an instant, everyone in the courtroom's attention was drawn to Iwai Sayoko sitting in the prosecutor's seat.
The Chief Prosecutor said without hesitation.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, don't ask these meaningless questions!"
"The defendant, Naoji Utsunomiya, has identified Shimano Tai as the trader, and the firearm the trader gave to Naoji Utsunomiya was the same model as the firearm traded by the Tojo Clan. There is absolutely no room for doubt about this."
"Does the defense still want to say that there is an extremely small chance that the sniper rifle given to Utsunomiya Naoji and the sniper rifle traded with the Tojo Clan are not the same sniper rifle?"
Iwai Sayoko's gaze fell on Xiang Yuanguang without mercy.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, you told us this during yesterday's trial."
"The inference in the trial mainly depends on the evidence. The sniper rifles that appeared in the two incidents are of the same model and quantity, and they are both related to the East City Society. If you insist that these two guns are not the same..."
"Then please ask Attorney Yuan to provide evidence to refute your argument in public in the courtroom!"
The Chief Prosecutor's fingers tapped lightly on the frame of his glasses.
The crisp knocking sound spread in other directions with the point where the fingers touched the frame as the center. Suddenly, the audience seats in the courtroom fell into a brief discussion, and even the blond chief judge nodded repeatedly.
It has to be said that Sayoko Iwai is the chief prosecutor above the ace prosecutor.
He did not show anything special in the trial from yesterday to today, and in terms of his ability as a prosecutor, there is a certain gap between him and the familiar golden-haired presiding judge, Kusakabe Makoto. But now, Iwai Sayoko's counterargument.
It sounds like he has some of the prosecutor's aura, which is convincing.
"...It seems that there is no other useful evidence to refute the argument here?"
Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was standing next to Genmitsu Mukai, said with some distress.
She put her hands in her coat pockets and tilted her head slightly to look at Xiang Yuanguang beside her, to see if the invincible blue hedgehog could produce evidence that no one in the courtroom had expected at this time.
In the face of a brief headwind, it changed direction again and completed the reversal of public opinion.
However, Xiang Yuanguang did not speak at this moment, but just stroked his chin with his hand, as if he was thinking about something————
The current situation is not optimistic for the defense.
From the moment a sniper rifle with the same caliber as the one that killed Sera Katsu was found within the Shimano Group under Shimano Tai's command, the situation had completely tilted against the defense.
————However, Xiang Yuanguang is not completely without a way to reverse the situation.
However... (If Mr. Kazama were to be called as a witness to testify here, perhaps the current disadvantage could be reversed, but that would also put the defense in a completely passive position in this trial.)
(But if Mr. Kazama is not allowed to appear in court as a witness...)
Xiang Yuanguang's gaze fell on Iwai Sayoko who was sitting behind the prosecutor's seat not far away.
The chief prosecutor had regained much of his touch and was staring at him with confidence, his fingers tapping on the edge of his glasses frame, his body swaying subconsciously as if he was keeping the beat.
Then, his gaze shifted to Yuya Kazami behind the testimony stand.
The person in charge of public security assigned by the Japanese public security has seemed quite calm so far. If he just relies on bluffing, he may not be able to find a breakthrough from the other party. If the heart lock is still there, maybe...
Finally, Mukai Genmitsu's gaze fell on Utsunomiya Naoji in the dock.
The defendant looked a little nervous. Even if one had never studied psychology or had any relevant experience, one could tell at a glance that this guy was nervous just by looking at his figure.
If nothing unexpected happens, the breakthrough this time should be placed on Naoji Utsunomiya.
————If we use logical chess, can we open a breakthrough from Yuya Kazami in advance?
Xiang Yuanguang moved his fingers away from the coffee cup, he stretched out his index finger and gently tapped his forehead, all the evidence and information of this case began to appear before his eyes.
However, these events and evidence have not yet been able to be summarized into a completely definite logical chain of events.
If we were to play the game of logical chess based on the current evidence and information, there might be a logical loophole, which would cause the game to become invalid and collapse on the spot...
"Well, the defense now needs the defendant, Naoji Utsunomiya, to testify in court."
The voice towards Yuan Guang came out.
This result surprised the blond judge sitting in the main seat.
Although he, the chief judge of the first trial court, had only tried Xiang Yuanguang once, he inexplicably felt that Xiang Yuanguang seemed to be more emotionally stable than before. According to the chief judge of the third trial court...
At this time in the past, Lawyer Xiang Yuan would often bang the table and then use the time to think, right?
However, Lawyer Xiang Yuan was unwilling to dwell on this juncture and instead planned to let the trial proceed. The blond presiding judge was also happy to see this.
At least this time there was no need to hire someone to help the courtroom replace the defense's new table.
Although generally speaking, Attorney Xiang Yuan is responsible for the repair costs of damaged defense tables, replacing and repairing the tables takes time, and he does not want subsequent defense lawyers to be without a usable wooden table.
"Well, it seems that Attorney Xiang Yuan has decided to end the questioning phase, right?"
"Well, Prosecutor Iwai, Officer Kazami, do you have any other opinions on this? If you don't have any other opinions, then please ask the defendant, Mr. Utsunomiya Naoji, to testify in court to support Officer Kazami's testimony."
The blond judge raised the gavel, but before lowering it, he asked a question.
Hearing this, Iwai Sayoko, who was standing at the prosecutor's seat, and Kazami Yuya, who was standing at the witness stand, looked at each other. After confirming that neither of them had anything else to say, they both nodded and agreed with the presiding judge's idea.
Then the presiding judge lowered the gavel and spoke without hesitation.
"Then please ask the defendant, Naoji Utsunomiya, to come to the witness stand and prepare to testify!"
