Chapter 808: Dragon-like Reversal
Chapter 808: Dragon-like Reversal (46)
"You said you knew nothing about Ito Yasuhito's actions?"
"How is that possible? If I remember correctly, Ito Yasuhito is a senior executive of the Shimano Group and an old man who is quite close to you. He can almost give orders on your behalf in the Shimano Group."
"And now you say you know nothing about Ito Yasuhito's actions?"
Iwai Sayoko, who was standing behind the prosecutor's seat, frowned.
She pushed up her glasses and scolded unceremoniously.
"Don't you think it's too late to cut ties with Ito Yasuhito now?"
"Shimano Tai, you'd better explain this matter clearly. I don't believe that you really have nothing to do with Ito Yasuhito's actions. Moreover, it's not just me who doesn't believe it—"
"I'm afraid that everyone sitting in the courtroom doesn't believe it!"
Iwai Sayoko said so.
As if in agreement, many listeners in the gallery were whispering to each other, making a noisy sound.
As the Chief Prosecutor said.
They completely disbelieved Shimano Tai's testimony that he knew nothing about Ito Yasuhito's actions, because the logic of this testimony was so familiar, so familiar that it caused people to have a stress response.
For example, if there is a problem, it is the temporary staff who will be blamed, or if something goes wrong in the company, the legal person will be blamed.
If the relationship between Ito Yasuhito and Shimano Tai was really as close as Iwai Sayoko and Kusakabe Makoto said, then it is impossible for Shimano Tai to be completely unaware of anything Ito Yasuhito did.
There is nothing without warning in this world.
There must have been signs before Ito Yasuhito attacked Kusakabe Makoto. Could it be that Shimano Tai was so stupid that he didn't even notice the slightest sign before the old man next to him took action?
The entire courtroom became lively.
Seeing this scene, the blond judge couldn't help but cough.
He raised the gavel in his hand, then lowered it onto the table in the main seat.
Boom, boom, boom.
As the gavel hit the table, the entire courtroom fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the blond presiding judge, except Xiang Yuanguang, who was still looking at the witness stand and even had the mood to raise the coffee cup in his hand and take a sip.
Within his sight, the heart lock was still wrapped around Shimano Tai's body.
This heart lock corresponds to the psychological defense line of Shimano Ta kidnapping Haibara Ai. If Shimano Ta is not allowed to speak out about this incident, the heart lock will not be unlocked.
However, if Shimano Tai told this incident in court, he would definitely be sentenced.
————Therefore, when Genkou launched a fierce attack on the issue of Haibara Ai, Shimano Tai would definitely stand against him, so this matter could only be given last priority.
Xiang Yuanguang must at least obtain important information about Ito Yasuhito's connection in the first case and Shimano Tai's knowledge of the assassination of Sera Masaru before he can send Shimano Tai away.
"Quiet, quiet, this trial requires silence!"
The blond presiding judge coughed twice, put the gavel in his hand aside, and looked at the witness stand seriously and solemnly.
He looked at Shimanota and then spoke.
"This court believes that what Prosecutor Iwai said makes sense, and this court does not believe that your testimony that you knew nothing about Ito Yasuhito's actions is true or credible."
"Could it be that you really didn't notice anything about Ito Yasuhito's assassination of Kusakabe Makoto?"
The judge's question made Shimano Tai frown even deeper. He really didn't notice anything about it.
This matter seemed like a sudden impulse that Yasuhito Ito came up with on impulse.
If Xiang Yuanguang had not just openly stated in court that Ito Yasuhito was the real mastermind behind the assassination of Kusakabe Makoto, he would never have associated it with Ito Yasuhito in his life.
Because Shimano Tai couldn't understand why Ito Yasuhito did this.
This matter is outrageous no matter how you think about it.
As a senior member of the East City Association, Ito Yasuhito's interests are his interests. Why would he do something that would do harm to the East City Association? He would not get any benefit at all, so he could only suffer losses!
The only reason Shimano Tai could think of for Ito Yasuhito's action was revenge.
After all, Kusakabe Makoto did disrupt a lot of Shimano Group's business.
Yasuhito Ito, who also had a share in these businesses, lost a lot of money because these businesses were destroyed by people hired by Makoto Kusakabe. It is understandable that Yasuhito Ito would take action for this reason.
Apart from this, Shimano Tai couldn't think of any other reason to take action.
"...Shimano Ta may really be completely unaware of this matter."
Xiang Yuanguang's voice sounded.
His eyes fell on Shimanota's face, and then he spoke.
"Because Ito Yasuhito's behavior is completely contrary to Shimano Tai's behavior logic. After all, you can't assume that Shimano Tai will deliberately do something that harms himself and others to undermine his own interests."
"Moreover, the time when Ito Yasuhito and Utsunomiya Naoji were discussing the deal happened to coincide with the time when Shimano Tai was attending a high-level meeting of the Tojo Clan at the Tojo Clan headquarters, in order to prevent Shimano Tai from noticing anything unusual..."
"Really? Is it possible that he was just trying to give Shimanota an alibi?"
Before Xiang Yuanguang could finish his words, Iwai Sayoko's rebuttal had already arrived.
She pushed her black-framed glasses again, then looked seriously at the defense seat and emphasized again.
"The prosecutor believes there is no such thing as criminal conduct without warning."
"Ito Yasuhito is a high-ranking member of the Tojo Clan and a close confidant of Shimano Tai. He planned to do this. It is impossible that Shimano Tai really knew nothing about this. Therefore, Shimano Tai's testimony just now definitely contains some fabricated information..."
call out----
At this moment, the wind has started to blow.
The strong wind blew across Iwai Sayoko's cheek, blowing her black-framed glasses tilted, forcing her to hold the table of the prosecutor's seat with one hand and hold up her black-framed glasses with the other hand, so that she could maintain her dignity.
"A pound of pear!"
Xiang Yuanguang pointed at Iwai Sayoko and then said with certainty.
"The prosecutor's assumption just now is problematic!"
"Indeed, if we follow Prosecutor Iwai's assumption just now, Ito Yasuhito, as a senior member of the Tojo Clan, must have taken action against Kusakabe Makoto because Kusakabe Makoto had touched the interests of the Tojo Clan and had no choice but to take action."
"In this hypothetical scenario, it is unlikely that Shimano was unaware of this."
"But what if I say that Ito Yasuhito is not actually a high-ranking official of the Tojo Clan?"
"If Ito Yasuhito is not a high-ranking member of the Tojo Clan, or in other words, he is more than just a high-ranking member of the Tojo Clan, then can we escape the original situation and get more information?"
