Chapter 793: Dragon-like Reversal (31)
"Mr. Utsunomiya, I would like to question you about your fifth testimony."
"You mentioned in your testimony, 'I recognized at first sight that the mastermind was Shimano Tai, the leader of the Shimano Group.' Then why didn't you recognize the mastermind in the lounge earlier?"
Xiang Yuanguang placed the photo on the table at the testimony desk, supporting it with both hands and pressing the photo down with one hand.
Normally, a defense lawyer would not be able to walk around the courtroom at will, but human laws do not apply to hedgehogs, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with him doing so.
Everyone was looking in the direction of the testimony stand, waiting to see if the defense attorney's questioning could yield any new results.
"Because it was only later that I got to know the other people in the photo after being educated by members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau. And then I learned that the real identity of the mastermind I saw at the time was Shimano Tai."
"That actually makes sense, right? Even though I remember who it was, it doesn't mean I know who he is."
Utsunomiya Naoji replied nervously.
Although this answer is a bit forced, it makes sense.
After all, there are many witnesses in various cases who can recognize the murderer or the suspect, but they don’t know who the murderer or the suspect is. The fact that Naoji Utsunomiya doesn’t know Shimano Tai does not affect his ability to recognize Shimano Tai.
Hearing this, Xiang Yuanguang tapped the table top with his knuckles and asked.
"Well, the defense will now ask for your final testimony."
"You mentioned in your testimony that "that fierce bald head is very recognizable. I can remember it clearly after just one look. So even now, many days later, I can accurately find the mastermind in those photos." Right? Then, if I ask you to identify him again, can you recognize the mastermind?"
He placed the photo he had taken from the evidence table on the table and gently stroked it.
Just like the poker cards placed on the table by the dealer in a casino, Xiang Yuanguang, a black magician, spread out the photos on the table in a row, lining up all the photos on the table.
"Then, Mr. Utsunomiya, please identify the photo of the person behind this again."
Following Genmitsu's words, Utsunomiya Naoji subconsciously looked at the photos lined up on the testimony stand.
The person in charge of public security, Yuya Kazami, who was standing next to Naoji Utsunomiya, only took a glance and confirmed that all the photos here belonged to the top leaders of the Shimano Group of the Tojo Clan, and he was shocked.
It is clear that Xiang Yuanguang's actions yesterday were all within the observation range of the Japanese public security.
It is absolutely impossible for the other party to determine in any way what category the photos that Utsunomiya Naoji saw at the beginning belonged to, but now Xiang Yuanguang accurately took out the relevant photos of the Shimano group and asked Utsunomiya to identify them.
Doesn't that mean that Xiang Yuanguang has already locked down the photo range of the person who gave the gun to Utsunomiya Naoji?
Yu Kazami couldn't understand how the other party managed to do this without any evidence or investigation, while Naoji Utsunomiya swept his eyes over the photos and effortlessly clicked on Shimano Tai's photo.
"Of course it's this one, Lawyer Xiang Yuan. I don't think there's any need to identify this one again, right?"
The defendant's voice rang out.
Iwai Sayoko, who was standing behind the prosecutor's seat, shook her head slightly and spoke directly.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, I think your actions are meaningless."
"Even if the defendant is asked to identify himself once, twice, three times, four times, or even countless times, the final result will not change. Shimano Tai will always be the mastermind behind the scenes. This is an unchangeable truth."
The Chief Prosecutor said so.
However, when Xiang Yuanguang's eyes only fell on Utsunomiya Naoshi's face, an inexplicable sense of danger suddenly erupted in his heart.
The oppressive feeling given to him by this defense lawyer was even more terrifying than that given to him by the members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau and the leader of the Nishikawa Group, Akira Nishikawa, a superior organization, whom he had met several times in the Tojo Clan.
Utsunomiya Naoji's heartbeat subconsciously quickened.
He couldn't understand why such a person would become a lawyer, when being a gangster boss would bring him more income and fame? All he had to do was change into red clothes and get a little tan.
"It makes sense, of course it makes sense."
Xiang Yuanguang's voice was calm and confident.
He put away all the photos, including the one of Shimano Tai, leaving only a photo of a man wearing a black coat, who looked unremarkable but with a slightly fierce look.
After seeing this photo being singled out, Utsunomiya Naoshi and Kazami Yuya both showed some surprise in their eyes, for no other reason than——
He selected the photo of the real mastermind that Utsunomiya Naoshi had identified in the pathogen.
"I have found the real mastermind behind this."
Xiang Yuanguang raised the photo in his hand.
From this angle, the only people who can be seen in the photo are Naoji Utsunomiya in front, Yuya Kazami next to him, the two other defendants in the dock, and the two bailiffs at the door.
All others can see is the white back of the photo.
Seeing this scene, Chief Prosecutor Iwai Sayoko frowned and spoke directly.
"What are you talking about? Is the photo you took a photo of Shimano Tai?"
"The defendant, Naoji Utsunomiya, clearly stated that the mastermind he identified was Shimano Tai. Even if you take out photos of other people now and say that this is the mastermind, it won't change anything!"
As she spoke, she glanced in the direction of Yuya Kazami.
However, the person in charge of public security sent by the Japanese Public Security Bureau looked thoughtful at this moment, as if he was thinking about something, which was different from the reaction that Iwai Sayoko expected.
Logically, Yuya Kazami should have made a finishing move on Genmiko at this time, and then she should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue.
But why did Feng Jianyuya now look thoughtful and silent? Could it be that Xiang Yuanguang had just identified the photo of the real mastermind?
Xiang Yuanguang ignored Iwai Sayoko's voice.
Under the gaze of everyone in the courtroom, he walked step by step to the evidence table, turned on the projector, and then used the projector to project the photo onto the wall, allowing everyone to see who the person in the photo was.
————This person does not have a bald head.
Even people who don't know much about the Tojo Clan can recognize that this is definitely not Shimano Tai.
Because just now Utsunomiya Naoji has already pointed out the clear characteristics of Shimano Tai.
"The defendant, Naoji Utsunomiya, committed perjury by speaking during the trial."
Xiang Yuanguang's voice was calm.
The white chess piece of logic chess was already floating in front of him.
————It's time to use [Bluff] on the defendant!
