Chapter 800: Dragon-like Reversal
Chapter 800: Dragon-like Reversal (38)
“…It is possible that surveillance records are falsified.”
"Needless to say, this happened in the second case that Attorney Xiang Yuan took on after his comeback, right? He cut and pasted the surveillance footage from another day onto that day to create an alibi."
Iwai Sayoko said abruptly.
The case she was talking about was naturally the murder case that Xiang Yuanguang had encountered in Honchidai.
However, because he had Kensuke Kumemon as his teammate, the problem did not bother him for long and he quickly solved it.
At this moment, Iwai Sayoko brought up the old matter again, probably wanting to draw inferences by the same token.
But, as she just said.
Inferences will always remain inferences unless there is actual evidence.
Before Kazama Shintaro could speak, Genmitsu Mukai from the defense seat had already spoken.
"Prosecutor Iwai, you mean that before going to prison, Shimano Tai and Mr. Kazama colluded in advance and changed the content of the surveillance records, right?"
His words were quite blunt.
Even the audience in the gallery and the presiding judge in the main seat could hear the exact meaning.
Everyone then turned their attention to Iwai Sayoko, who was sitting behind the prosecutor's seat.
The chief prosecutor thought for a moment and then spoke.
"The prosecutor believes that this possibility cannot be ruled out."
"Shimano Tai and Kazama Shintaro are both high-ranking members of the Tojo Clan and have common interests..."
"really?"
Before Iwai Sayoko could finish her words, Xiang Yuanguang interrupted her.
Suddenly, Iwai Sayoko was speechless, raised her head and looked at Xiang Yuanguang.
"It is true that Shimano Tai and Kazama Shintaro are both high-ranking members of the Tojo Clan, and it is also true that they share common interests."
"However, if it is true, as the prosecutors say, that Shimano Tai is the mastermind behind this series of cases, his actions will directly damage the common interests of the Tojo Clan's top leaders."
"Does the prosecutor think that Shimano Tai did this series of things so that he could make a profit from it?"
The blue-colored lawyer's eyes were sharp as he stared at Iwai Sayoko who was standing behind the prosecutor's seat.
Iwai Sayoko frowned slightly, but did not wait for her to refute.
Xiang Yuanguang had already launched an attack again.
"Prosecutor Iwai, you just told me that if there is no evidence, an inference is just an inference."
"If you think that Kazama Shintaro can benefit from the series of events that Shimano Tai has done and stand on Shimano Tai's side, then prove it to me."
"The defense can guarantee that the prosecutors will not find any evidence proving that Kazama Shintaro and Shimano Tai cooperated."
"It's even impossible for the prosecutors to find evidence that Mr. Kazama and Shimano Tai had a good relationship during this period."
The hedgehog-headed man tapped his forehead with his fingers.
Then he spread his hands and shrugged slightly.
It seemed as if he felt a little sorry for Iwai Sayoko's attitude.
"It is well known that the relationship between Kazama Shintaro and Shimano Tai is quite bad."
"If you know a little bit about what happened last night, then you should know the circumstances under which Shimano Tai was captured by the Japanese police—"
"That was the scene where Kazama-gumi member Kiryu Kazuma broke into the Shimano-gumi headquarters building."
"If, in this case, Prosecutor Iwai also makes the inference that Shimano Tai and Kazama Shintaro have a good relationship so that they can give false testimony for each other even if the other's behavior violates their interests."
"Then please ask the prosecutor to provide corresponding reliable evidence immediately."
Xiang Yuanguang slapped his hands on the table. He didn't really use much force, but the sound was enough to shock people.
He finally spoke while looking at Iwai Sayoko who was on the prosecutor's side.
"If Prosecutor Iwai cannot provide any evidence or witnesses."
"Then, the defense asks Prosecutor Iwai to stop making irresponsible guesses and assumptions. Otherwise, the defense will ask the presiding judge to punish you!"
————Generally speaking, the presiding judge is slightly biased towards the prosecutor in court.
However, if the prosecutor's behavior is too excessive, the presiding judge will also punish the prosecutor.
Just like it is now.
The blond judge in the main seat looked serious.
He nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the prosecutor's seat, and asked directly.
"This court agrees with Attorney Xiang Yuan's opinion. May I ask if the prosecutor can provide evidence or witnesses to prove the inference just now? If not, please ask Prosecutor Iwai to keep quiet for the time being."
"This court hopes that this trial can proceed in a fair, just, open and orderly manner."
The presiding judge and the defense have reached a consensus.
Even many audience members in the gallery noticed something strange about Iwai Sayoko.
As a prosecutor of the Ministry of Public Security, he has considerable advantages in the trial court. If there is any evidence that can be related to the case, he would not remain silent like he is doing now.
If this is really done, it would only mean that the prosecutor really has no relevant evidence.
This is exactly like what Xiang Yuanguang said, irresponsible and random guesses!
Sayoko Iwai, the chief prosecutor, stood behind the prosecutor's seat.
There was a hint of unwillingness in her eyes, and finally, she sighed.
"Got it. The prosecutor will be careful about his behavior in the next trial."
Although I am unwilling, I can only remain silent under the current circumstances.
Otherwise, in a while, the presiding judge might really impose special punishment on the prosecutor.
As the chief prosecutor, she caused such a special situation when she returned to the trial court for the first time in many years. It would be difficult for her to convince other prosecutors when she returned to the Ministry of Public Security after the incident was over.
However, even if we don't attack this aspect.
This trial also had many arguments that could completely crush the defense.
Iwai Sayoko pushed up her black-framed glasses.
Regardless, there is still some time left in today's trial and she still has many chances to win.
"Then, during the period before Officer Kazami returns."
"The defense believes that the previous questioning of the defendant Utsunomiya Naoji can be continued."
Xiang Yuanguang noticed Iwai Sayoko's attitude and then said.
He turned his head to look at Naoji Utsunomiya who was sitting in the dock and looked up in surprise when he heard his words.
The chess board still appears in the courtroom until now.
Now Yuya Kazami has temporarily left the courtroom, and Sayoko Iwai has also been asked to be careful about her words and actions.
There is no better opportunity than now to launch an offensive against Utsunomiya Naoji, defeat him, and uncover the identity of the real mastermind!
"Shall we continue the questioning of the defendant at this time?"
The presiding judge was a little surprised.
But he nodded.
"Okay, then let's follow Lawyer Xiang Yuan's idea."
"Defendant Utsunomiya Naoji, please return to the witness stand and continue the previous stage of questioning."
