People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 233 Reversal of Lavender (24)

Guiyue Liuyun snapped his fingers, signaling the defense to look at the witness stand.

Then he sneered and spoke bluntly.

"Defense, would you like to begin the [interrogation]? Or do you think that this is enough?"

“As a rookie lawyer, I was able to carry the case through to the next day.”

"You have enough to be proud of yourself."

Xiang Yuanguang turned a deaf ear to Guiyue Liuyun's words.

What do you mean by being proud of yourself? That's not what you thought when you ran away from the Moon Shadow Island case.

The black magician pushed his magic hat down slightly.

Although, he already had a rough idea of ​​the direction to pursue and move forward.

But after the testimony is over, it is more reasonable to conduct [questioning] first.

"There's no need to say more about this. We've already come this far."

"I will definitely complete this trial."

"But you are different, Prosecutor Guiyue."

The relationship between defense attorneys and prosecutors remains as tense as before.

However, the people in the audience have gradually become accustomed to this scene and no longer find it strange.

Boom, boom, boom.

The presiding judge banged the gavel, signaling the audience to be quiet, and then spoke.

"Well, now, let's go to the defense and start the [questioning]."

Xiang Yuanguang started asking without hesitation.

"The defense wants to question the witness about [the day of the incident was a holiday, and he went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities]. May I ask why he had a holiday that day?"

"If I remember correctly, the day of the incident was not a holiday."

thump.

Guiyue Liuyun slapped the table at the prosecutor's seat without hesitation.

"Oh, the working and resting hours are different for every profession."

"Why, you are also an actor in some theater troupe, and you know the normal vacation time for actors?"

When this was mentioned, Xiang Yuanguang's thoughts stagnated for a moment.

(Well, I have to admit, I really don’t know how Japanese theater actors take their vacation time.)
(However, it is false that Hiroo Tsuchio was the alibi for the two witnesses.)
(That is to say, there must be lies in his current testimony.)
As his thoughts turned, the black magician snapped his fingers.

Then he threw the poker away and went straight into the table at the prosecutor's seat.

Gui Yue Liuyun's eyes subconsciously jumped at this.

“The defense questioned the witnesses, not the prosecutor.”

"Even if Prosecutor Guiyue had already agreed with the witness how to respond in advance."

"In court, only the witnesses should answer questions."

A spinning poker appeared in Virgil's hand at some point.

The card on this poker deck is still his favorite joker card.

In some rules, the joker is the biggest card and can break all obstacles.

Now, Virgil took out the joker card again, perhaps with full confidence.

"Hmph, he's just a jester in a circus. Fine, let the witness answer."

"Hiroo Tsuchio, answer the question just raised by the defense attorney."

Lao Deng snorted coldly and signaled Chuiwei Guangsheng to answer. At this time, the witness, who was still bruised and swollen on the stand, finally spoke.

"Because there was no performance at the theater that day, it was a day off for actors."

"Besides, that day was originally my rotating day off. Is that normal?"

"Just check the theatre's programme of performances for the day and the actors' holiday roster."

He actually asked me to check the theater’s performance program for the day…?
In other words, in this regard, does the prosecutor have the confidence to directly allow the defense to investigate?
In other words, there is no problem with the testimony given by Hiroo Tsuchio?
Narrowing his eyes at Yuan Guang, he asked again.

"So, how does the rotation work..."

"A rotation is a rotation, circus jester, your words have strayed from the facts of this case."

"If you keep asking about these irrelevant things, it will be a waste of time."

At this time, Guiyue Liuyun interrupted again.

He looked at the black magician in the defense seat with disdain and without any courtesy.

"Of course, if you really think it's necessary to ask or question."

"Then try to ask, but if you are wrong, it will affect whether you can stay here!"

(If I ask a follow-up question but it doesn't lead to a new situation, will it increase the number of mistakes?)
(There are only two chances left to make mistakes. If you make another mistake, it will be the last time...)
The black magician's fingers tapped unconsciously on his magic wand.

He was wondering whether this rotation table was worth questioning.

If you ask further, what will you get?
(The other members of the circus were definitely not present at the trial, but the other party would definitely not agree to a second adjournment.)
(Because Hiroo Tsuchio is not a person of interest or a witness in this case...)
(He is just an alibi. There is no way to ask an alibi to prove his or her absence... Even a normal trial cannot go this far, let alone a trial in four countries.)
(So, give up...?)

Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was standing next to him, was also thinking about it.

If Hiroo Tsuchio was likely to give false testimony during the trial, then there would obviously be only two places where it could happen.

One is whether he actually left the theater that day.

Another is whether he actually met Kotani Renzo and Yamamoto Kensho that day.

The latter must be built upon…the foundation of the former.

"The defense did not ask further questions about this aspect, but here, the defense requested..."

Xiang Yuanguang's voice came from the side.

He raised his head and looked at Guiyue Liuyun, then spoke word by word.

"The defense asked the prosecutor to produce the theater's actor rotation and performance records for that day."

"I believe this should be a reasonable request, right? After all, the witness has a close relationship with Kotani Renzo."

"If the prosecutors can't even prove whether the witness left the theater that day..."

"The credibility of the witness' testimony is questionable."

"Your Honor, what do you think?"

The presiding judge sitting in the main seat blinked.

How can I see it? I see what Prosecutor Guiyue sees.

He turned to look at Guiyue Liuyun, and Guiyue Liuyun narrowed his eyes slightly.

“…Yes, the prosecutor can produce relevant evidence to prove it.”

"However, the defence cannot question the witness on whether he left the theatre on the day of the crime."

"How about this, Dark Magician, can you accept this?"

The Black Magician hesitated, then nodded.

If the window was removed by Hiroo Hammer, he must not have been inside the theater that day.

Therefore...Xiang Yuanguang believes that there is no need to ask too much about this!
　I have an exam tomorrow, so there will be fewer updates today. I will make up for the missing chapters on Saturday and Sunday.
