Chapter 799: Dragon-like Reversal
Chapter 799: Dragon-like Reversal (37)
————Sayako Iwai questioned Shintaro Kazama’s testimony as perjury.
As soon as this information was thrown out, the entire courtroom was in an uproar.
The noise was far louder than when Kazama Shintaro had just testified. It was like a wave, lifting the atmosphere in the courtroom to a higher level.
I heard Iwai Sayoko's question.
Shintaro Kazama didn't care, he just stood behind the testimony stand without saying a word.
He was not an expert in the field of defense lawyers, but he knew that in court, when facing other people's questions, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, and chaos will arise when you are in a hurry.
When faced with questions from professionals, we should let the professionals deal with them.
After all, Xiang Yuanguang, known as the legendary lawyer, is still in the court and is on the side of the Dongcheng Society, isn't he?
“Is it a bit too arbitrary for the prosecutor to make such a view now?”
A voice came from the defense bench.
Xiang Yuanguang stood behind the defense seat, staring at Iwai Sayoko who was sitting in the prosecutor's seat, and spoke directly.
"If you say that Mr. Kazama's testimony is perjury and there is no actual evidence."
"Then, can't the prosecutor's inference that Shimano Tai is the mastermind be perjury? Except for the defendant Utsunomiya Naoji, the other two defendants don't even know what the mastermind looks like, right?"
"After all, the testimony of Utsunomiya Naoshi just now is nothing more than one person's opinion that cannot be verified!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the noise in the audience became even louder.
Just as Xiang Yuanguang said.
The prosecutor can use this as a reason to question whether Shintaro Kazama's testimony is perjury, but the defense can also use the same reason to question whether Naoji Utsunomiya's testimony is perjury.
After all, the testimonies of both parties were their own. There was no other person at the scene and no actual evidence.
No one can say that his or her conclusions are certain and set in stone.
Either both sides acknowledge it, or neither side acknowledges it.
————However, if neither side admits the crime, then the situation will obviously be in favor of the defense.
The reason is simple. If Naoji Utsunomiya's testimony is overturned, the prosecutor's logical chain of inference that Tai Shimano is the mastermind will collapse directly.
Unless the Japanese police want to play a trick of calling a horse a zebra.
Otherwise, the result of this trial will definitely be that the prosecutor and the defense will return to their respective investigations and postpone the trial to the last day on the grounds that the mastermind has not yet been found.
This is not beneficial for Japanese public security.
It’s not that the Japanese police can’t even afford to delay the lawsuit for such a short period of time.
But because——
Yuya Kazami shook his head slightly.
He knew that Toru Amuro had already started the action with members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.
As a member of the Public Security Planning Division, also known as Public Security Section Zero, Toru Amuro's authority is beyond many people's imagination. He can even force the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and local police officers to cooperate in operations.
Now the Shimano team has probably been hit hard by this.
If we can't get a favorable statement in court today, it might be difficult to deal with public opinion.
After all, the quality of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's police officers is well known to everyone.
The police officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, who are the core of the police force in the Tokyo area, are all like this, not to mention the capabilities of the police stations in other districts and the local headquarters.
It is true that the actions of the Japanese public security forces need to be kept secret.
However, the police officers in Kamurocho are unlikely to be able to keep secrets.
Therefore, the Tojo Clan will probably know soon that the Japanese Public Security Bureau has taken action against the Tojo Clan, so they have to think of a way to get a reasonable claim today so that the Tojo Clan will have nothing to say.
Yuya Kazami rubbed his chin, thinking about what to do next. Meanwhile, Shintaro Kazama on the other side had already spoken.
"If the prosecutors want to prove that Shimano Tai held a high-level meeting at the Tojo Association at 6 p.m. three days ago, this is actually not difficult."
His words instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the field.
Even the blond judge asked curiously.
"Mr. Kazama, what do you mean by that?"
Kazama Shintaro answered directly.
"The high-level meetings of the East City Association are held in the headquarters building of the East City Association."
"Because the East City Society has suffered several assassination attempts before, in order to ensure the safety of the top leaders of the headquarters, a monitoring system was installed inside."
"We only need to retrieve the surveillance records from three days ago to determine Shimano Tai's location."
————Monitoring records???
A hint of surprise appeared in Iwai Sayoko's eyes.
She never expected that Kazama Shintaro would actually say the words "surveillance record".
Although normally most places have the need to install surveillance systems to ensure case handling needs, most of them are not actually installed because it involves personal privacy issues.
And as the champion of breaking the law, the Dongcheng Clan actually installed a surveillance system in their headquarters building?
"…Are you sure, Mr. Kazama?"
The presiding judge was also a little surprised and took a while to continue asking.
And this time, Kazama Shintaro said without hesitation.
"Of course, the surveillance records of the headquarters building will be kept from the day they were installed. Not to mention three days ago, even the surveillance records from the day the surveillance system was installed last month are kept."
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the East City Club's headquarters building and copy the surveillance records."
————Dongcheng Guild actually has such preparation?
He nodded slightly to Yuan Guang.
He took a sip of coffee and breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, at least Shintaro Kazama is a reliable teammate.
If the Tojo Clan really had saved the surveillance records, then no matter what Iwai Sayoko said next, the final result would not change.
After all, actual evidence far outweighs false inferences.
"Then, Officer Kazami, please take someone to the Tojo Clan's headquarters building to copy the surveillance records."
The presiding judge spoke to Yuya Kazami without hesitation.
Generally speaking, the guys who need to go to other places to get the needed evidence immediately are asked to do it by the criminal department. Although Feng Jianyuya is not in charge of criminal affairs, there is no one else here who can leave the courtroom.
We can't ask Kazama Shintaro to go back in person to investigate and get it, right?
"I see."
Yuya Kazami nodded and quickly pushed the door open and walked out.
Seeing the person in charge of public security leave, Iwai Sayoko gently covered her forehead with her hand, feeling a little headache.
Kazama Shintaro's testimony was a little too conclusive.
So much so that she had no idea how to refute it for a while.
————The only point that can be attacked is the assumption that Kazama Shintaro and Shimano Tai are in a cooperative relationship, right?
