Chapter 814: Dragon-like Reversal
Chapter 814: Dragon-like Reversal (52)
Shimano Tai's speech caused a sensation in the audience.
No one expected that the last witness to appear in court today, after checking the orders and surveillance records, actually stated directly that he already knew who killed Sera Masaru!
Yuya Kazami, who was still playing the surveillance video, suddenly felt his hand tremble and subconsciously pressed the pause button.
He tilted his head and stared at Shimano Tai with sharp eyes. There was a hint of disbelief in his eyes. He started questioning without even noting that the presiding judge had expressed his opinion yet.
"What did you say? Shimano Tai, you just said that you already know who killed Sera Masaru?"
Yuya Kazami would rather believe that this was a story made up by Shimano Ta in order to get away with the crime than to believe it was true.
The Japanese public security has investigated for so long and found nothing, but Shimano Tai already knew who killed Sera Masaru just by looking at his back and the transaction order? Doesn't this mean that the Japanese public security's professional ability is quite worrying?
However, the moment when Shimano Tai said that he already knew who killed Sera Masaru.
A look of understanding also appeared in Xiang Yuanguang's eyes.
He understood, he understood.
Seeing that the blue lawyer next to her looked a little strange, Nanatsuki Koshimizu immediately realized that Genmi Mutsuki must have received some new information from Shimano Tai's performance.
However, the expired high school detective is completely unable to gain anything with his detective wisdom at this moment.
She could only ask in a low voice, somewhat confused.
"Xiang Yuan, have you thought of something?"
The blue lawyer snapped his fingers and said as if he had already won the game.
"I already know the truth about the murder of Sera Masaru."
"I should have guessed it earlier... During the trial of this case, everyone's reasoning was wrong."
"Everyone's inference has gone astray...?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki said in a low voice.
She couldn't understand what misunderstanding Xiang Yuanguang was talking about.
However, Xiang Yuanguang gave the answer before she could think about it.
"Why did the sniper rifles used to kill the targets in both cases use the same caliber of bullets? Why was Sera Masaru suddenly killed? Why was the person being used an affiliated peripheral organization of the Nishikawa Group?"
"The answer is right there on the puzzle itself. In fact, everything has had an answer from the beginning."
"The person who really wanted to kill Sera Masaru and seize the position of Tojo Clan leader was not Shimano Tai, but Nishiyama Akira, the leader of the Nishiyama Group, a direct descendant of the Tojo Clan, who never showed up in this incident!"
The blue lawyer's voice was quite certain, as if what he said was the actual fact.
Such strong self-confidence is enough to influence the emotions of other people around him. Even an experienced detective will be driven by Xiang Yuanguang's emotions and subconsciously believe in Xiang Yuanguang's words.
However, Nanatsuki Koshimizu quickly shook her head and threw out her thoughts.
Then she asked, somewhat confused.
"So, what about the process? Where is the process? How did you come to this conclusion?"
After listening to Nanatsuki Koshimizu's questioning, Genmitsu finally filled in the missing parts of his reasoning.
He looked at the noisy courtroom, picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, moistened his throat, and then quickly explained. "Ito Yasuhito's goal was not to trick Shimano Ta, but to trick Nishikiyama Akira."
"This is actually easy to understand. As the saying goes, a rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow. As an undercover agent sent by the Omi United to the Tojo Clan, Ito Yasuhito certainly wouldn't think of just doing this one operation."
"Therefore, even if it is for his own benefit, Ito Yasuhito will not send Shimano Tai to prison."
Xiang Yuanguang paused for a moment and then spoke.
"Based on this premise, it is clear who Ito Yasuhito's actual target is—"
"His target was Nishikiyama Akira because he knew that Nishikiyama Akira had purchased a sniper rifle and knew the caliber of the bullets in the sniper rifle, so he bought a sniper rifle with the same caliber of bullets to frame him."
"And this is also the reason why Ito Yasuhito sought out the remnants of the Ghost Tiger Group, a subsidiary of the Jinshan Group."
"However, Shimano Tai's actions were beyond Ito Yasuhito's expectations, and it also caused all of our thoughts to go astray - that is, Shimano Tai kidnapped Huibara and used it to force me to appear in court to defend him."
He snapped his fingers and then spoke.
"Some of us actually suspected that this was done by an external force."
"Because everyone knows that as a defense lawyer, I am the type that is least susceptible to threats. Those who use this method to force me to appear in court to defend are either stupid or bad, and all of us think in a bad way."
"That is, an external force deliberately kidnapped Huiyuan and used this method to create a conflict between me and the Tojo Clan, and then made me deliberately lose the defense in court to maximize the conflict."
"But it turns out that Shimano was being [stupid]."
The evil man's thousand plans are not as good as the sudden inspiration of a fool.
Shimano Tai kidnapped a defense lawyer who was the least threatened, hoping that the defense lawyer would sincerely defend the Tojo Clan. He himself also sincerely wanted to get the Tojo Clan out of its public opinion dilemma, and he did not want the Tojo Clan's interests to be harmed as a result.
Because he didn't know that Sera Masaru had already found relevant information about Sawamura Yumi and might be able to extricate himself from the abdication storm, so from his perspective, he would soon become the next generation president, and all this was in his interest.
Therefore, Shimano Tai kidnapped Haibara and forced him to appear in court on the basis of protecting his own future interests, but this instead led people to mistakenly believe that there was no external force involved in this incident.
There is only one mastermind behind this incident, and that is Shimano Tai.
Now that Shimano Tai is gradually clearing himself of suspicion during the trial, according to the idea that there is only one mastermind behind the scenes, it will naturally lead to the conclusion that the real identity of the mastermind is Ito Yasuhito, and all three incidents were planned by Ito Yasuhito.
But in fact, it is not.
"These three incidents appear to be committed by the same person, but in fact they are unrelated incidents that have nothing to do with each other."
"Ito Yasuhito was the mastermind behind the assassination of Kusakabe Makoto. His purpose was to divert the blame to the Nishikiyama Clan, but he didn't expect Shimano to be so stupid that the Shimano Clan was implicated."
"Akira Nishikiyama was the mastermind behind the assassination of Sera Masaru. His goal was to assassinate Sera Masaru and take the clues to the theft of 10 billion yen into his own hands... This can be seen from what Kazama Shintaro said in the lounge earlier."
"Shimano Tai is the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Haibara Ai. His purpose is to use my defense ability to get the Tojo Clan to distance themselves from the assassination attempt on Kusakabe Makoto and protect his best interests—"
Xiang Yuanguang's fingers gently touched his forehead.
In his mind, three complete chains of events emerged instantly from the endless ocean of thought, clearly, he said.
“This is the whole truth of this series of events.”
