Chapter 813: Dragon-like Reversal
Chapter 813: Dragon-like Reversal (51)
The issue had previously been skirted in court.
But now, the prosecutors have brought up the old matter again, and Mukai Genmitsu, who has already transferred the main suspect in the assassination of Kusakabe from Shimano Tai to Ito Yasuhito, will not be easily fooled as before.
However, Iwai Sayoko pushed her black-framed glasses and said unwillingly.
"Then, can the defense prove that the trader from the Tojo Clan listed in the transaction order is not a member of the Tojo Clan, or that the sniper rifle was purchased by Ito Yasuhito?"
"If not, please ask the defense not to make meaningless remarks about this!"
Xiang Yuanguang raised his eyebrows and slapped the table with both hands, ready to give Iwai Sayoko a hard blow.
However, the presiding judge realized at this moment that the atmosphere between the two sides seemed to be becoming increasingly tense. He coughed twice, raised the gavel and lowered it, then spoke.
"Ahem, silence, silence, this court trial requires silence."
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan and Prosecutor Iwai should calm down for a while. The courtroom is a place for trial, not a place for you to argue. Anyway, there is very little evidence in the case of Sera Masaru's murder, right?"
“For now, the only things that can be considered as evidence are transaction orders and surveillance records.”
"Moreover, the transaction order only noted the East City Clan for the transaction of the same model of sniper rifle, but it is impossible to confirm whether the trader is a member of the East City Clan or who he is specifically."
"The surveillance footage only captured the car parked in the large parking lot in Kamurocho. It did not capture the person inside coming out of the parking lot, so we cannot confirm their identity..."
"This court feels that since the current evidence and information is not sufficient, then..."
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, someone voiced his objection.
Suddenly, everyone in the field subconsciously focused their eyes on Xiang Yuanguang behind the defense seat. Even Koshimizu Nanatsuki subconsciously turned her head to look at Xiang Yuanguang, and even heroes all over the world were looking at him with awe.
When it comes to interrupting at critical moments, Hedgehog Head is quite an authority in the Tokyo legal community.
However, Xiang Yuanguang just blinked, glanced at the positions of the people around him, and then shook his head.
"Not that I'm against it."
He did not intend to object at this time. Being able to get time to collect evidence would also be a powerful development for the defense, and it would be best to send Shimano Tai to jail on the last day of the trial.
This way, Shimano Tai can finish his work wholeheartedly and can also go inside to operate the sewing machine. Why not do it?
Seeing that Xiang Yuanguang said that it was not him who was talking, everyone present focused their attention on Shimano Tai, who was a little puzzled, and looked at this bald gangster who had a strong presence in the trial.
And Shimano Tai was even more confusing.
He didn't know why when he shouted "wait a minute", everyone turned to look at Xiang Yuanguang instead of him. What was going on? Was Xiang Yuanguang the boss of these people? They just stared at him without saying anything?
We even have to wait until Xiang Yuanguang clearly denied it before shifting our attention from Xiang Yuanguang to here?
Although he didn't know why, Shimano Tai still seized the opportunity and spoke quickly.
"What nonsense are you guys talking about? I don't understand a thing!"
"Didn't you say that I bought that sniper rifle? Didn't you say that the gunman in the car that assassinated Shi Liangsheng was my subordinate? Then show it to me. How can I know who it is if I don't see it?"
His words were a little rough because of his emotional excitement.
But what he said was to the point. As the suspect in the assassination of Sera Masaru, Shimano Tai, who was almost a foregone conclusion, was completely unaware of the evidence that proved his guilt. This is always unreasonable no matter what the case.
Hearing this, the presiding judge looked at Iwai Sayoko, Iwai Sayoko looked at Kazami Yuya, and Kazami Yuya looked at the presiding judge. The three of them looked at each other, none of them expecting that the other party had not even done such a basic thing.
After a slight embarrassment, the blond judge in the main seat coughed twice and spoke seriously.
"Ahem, if that's the case, then show the evidence to the witness."
"Officer Kazami, I'm leaving this to you."
Yuya Kazami, who was standing next to Shimano Tai, nodded slightly.
Then, he walked out from the testimony desk, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked step by step to the evidence desk, and then used a projector to project the record of the transaction order on the wall.
Many audience members in the gallery also focused their attention on the trading orders being screened.
Previously, when the prosecutors and the defense were arguing, the transaction order was not shown to anyone. Now that Shimano Tai mentioned this, the content of the transaction order has been made available to everyone.
There are indeed records of gun transactions on it, and the amount and time are clearly written.
Looking at the transaction order marked as from the Tojo Association, Shimano Tai's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
He felt as if he had seen this order somewhere before... No, he definitely had not seen this order before. He must have heard about it from someone...
It seems that Yasuhito Ito mentioned information about this model of sniper rifle?
Shimano Tai felt that the situation seemed to be getting more complicated.
According to the information just given by Xiang Yuanguang and others, the caliber of bullets used by this sniper rifle is the same as the caliber of bullets used by Utsunomiya Naoji in the previous assassination incident of Kusakabe.
And Yasuhito Ito was the mastermind behind the assassination of Kusakabe.
The other party must have had other ideas when he told him the caliber of the sniper rifle, but what was Ito Yasuhito thinking when he said this? What good would it do for him?
Unless... Yasuhito Ito wanted to use the fact that the caliber of the bullets is the same to make him give some testimony.
The senior leaders of the East City Association narrowed their eyes.
He watched as Yuya Kazami showed it to everyone and then projected the surveillance footage of the parking lot onto the wall with a projector, and his eyes suddenly widened.
The reason is simple: I recognized it.
Shimano Tai had already recognized who was in the car.
Moreover, through the sniper rifle that appeared on the transaction order just now, he already knew who the real murderer who assassinated Sera Masaru was, and even knew the motive for the assassination clearly.
No need to wait for monitoring to record a complete response.
Shimano Tai said loudly.
"Wait a minute, I know who killed President Sera!"
