People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 399: Closed Trial
The so-called simultaneous police actions may refer to collecting evidence and obtaining testimony at the same time.

After all, it is not impossible for the public security police, who are known as the secret police, to use torture to extract confessions.

At least as far as Makoto Kusakabe can remember, there was an incident where the public security conducted a special interrogation that led to the suspect's suicide.

Therefore, when he was sure that Toshimitsu Tsujimura was prosecuted by the Prosecutor's Office beyond his authority and that his motives were unclear...

The first reaction was that these secret police were up to no good again.

However, the attitude of the police who came to the scene to collect evidence seemed to have angered the criminals here.

This ultimately led to a situation where one side had obtained the guilty testimony, but the other side was unable to produce any evidence of the crime.

"The trial of this case is not open to the public. Those who come to listen are senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department or people involved in the case."

"If you participate in the defense of this trial, I can assure you that the third courtroom you are familiar with will not be open."

"There's a reason why the conviction rate in public security cases is much higher than in criminal cases."

Kusakabe Makoto always has that serious expression.

It is hard to imagine why this middle-aged man with gray hair has such an attitude towards the police.

However, Xiang Yuanguang didn't care about this. It was a good thing that the prosecutor was on his side now.

He frowned and asked very seriously.

"None of this is important. What's important is the circumstances of the case. When will the exchange of evidence begin?"

"You made the decision to prosecute this afternoon, and the trial will begin tomorrow. Does that mean it's tonight?"

"What's the current situation with Toshimitsu Tsujimura? Should I go find him now, or should you appoint me to go when the time comes?"

"No matter what, I must meet with the defendant alone before I accept the commission."

"Otherwise, I can't decide whether I will accept this defense or not."

From the first trial, the presiding judge emphasized the rules of the courtroom.

Whether the defendant is guilty or not depends entirely on the performance of the defense lawyer.

Unless there is conclusive evidence, even if the defendant pleads guilty, there is still a way to reverse the situation.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Xiang Yuanguang might respect the fate of others.

But in court, he would never allow those who had taken other people's lives to go unpunished.

"If you have time, you can go to the detention center now and meet with Toshimitsu Tsujimura."

"As for the time of exchanging evidence, it will be held in the courtroom at 8 o'clock tonight."

"If you can't convince Toshimitsu Tsujimura to get the letter of attorney, then you can only randomly assign another lawyer to take charge."

"Frankly speaking, in this case, I would prefer you to conduct the defense in this trial."

"I'm afraid you're the only lawyer who won't compromise in front of the police."

...You really think highly of me.

He nodded slightly to Yuan Guang, put his hands in the pockets of his blue coat, and turned to leave.

It is obvious that although Makoto Kusakabe believes that Toshimitsu Tsujimura should not be prosecuted, he will not go against procedures.

In this case, he would not allow Xiang Yuanguang, a lawyer, to enter the scene to investigate before receiving the letter of authorization.

It seems that the details of this case still need to be understood from the defendant Tsujimura Toshimitsu.

Why did this guy plead guilty voluntarily and what were the identities of the three additional deaths in the case.

Was the cause of death of the three victims poisonous? Was Kimie Tsujimura the murderer?

These must be verified step by step; there will be no answers just by imagining.

Tick, tick, tick.

Looking at Xiang Yuanguang's gradually disappearing back, Kusakabe Makoto turned around.

He took out his phone from his pocket and entered a special unlock code.

Looking at the instructions given to him by the Chief Prosecutor, a hint of anger rose in his eyes for no reason.

Unlike criminal prosecutors, public security prosecutors also have the right to control the prosecution of cases. But in fact, criminal prosecutors can freely decide whether to prosecute the suspects given by the police.

The public security prosecutors can only follow the orders of the secret police, even if they insist on not prosecuting.

The final result is nothing more than a higher-level prosecutor prosecuting across levels, or prosecuting at a higher level.

(In such a country... as long as the secret police exist, there will never be justice in the public security and prosecution.)
(It was the same as that time, and it is the same as this time...)
The shadow gradually passes over the floors and covers the ground.

Kusakabe Makoto's face was gradually covered by shadows, leaving only his pupils reflecting the light of the mobile phone visible.

"What did you say? Prosecution? What's the identity of the deceased? Prosecution was filed before the investigation was completed?"

Kogoro Mori frowned. This kind of thing sounded unbelievable.

It's like someone is putting pressure on the Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security.

Although he did not have a deep impression of the Public Security Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department, those secret police did not seem like the kind of people who would arrest people and take the blame.

"If that's the case, Xiang Yuan, are you really going to take on the defense of this case?"

"If the secret police are really capable of such an outrageous act as not to investigate or prosecute."

"No matter how good your defense is, even if it's on the same level as Eri, you can't win."

...Who is Yingli?
Hattori Heiji blinked, and then the image of Kisaki Eri appeared in his mind.

According to the information he investigated, Kisaki Eri and Mori Kogoro were almost divorced.

How can they be so affectionate when they have been separated for such a long time even though they have such a big daughter? Is the information false?

No, no, this is not the key point now...

To be honest, as a family member of a police officer, Hattori Heiji finds this kind of thing hard to imagine.

He even wants to go back to Osaka and ask his father whether these secret police really have such great power.

However, the police headquarters in different regions are not connected to each other, so I guess my dad wouldn't know about this.

"It's meaningless to say whether we can win or not. Brother Xiang Yuan is a man who will definitely do what he decides to do."

Hattori Heiji touched his chin, and various related information about the case quickly emerged in his mind.

"Tsujimura Toshimitsu was indicted as the murderer, Tsujimura Isao died, and Tsujimura Kimie was detained as a witness."

"Then, the place we can investigate now... I guess is Takayoshi Tsujimura and Sachiko Katsuragi."

"We should be able to get information about the murderer, the deceased, and the witnesses from them."

"In addition, the identities of the other deceased in the diplomatic embassy are definitely not ordinary people, and they also need to be investigated..."

The Great Detective of Kansai clapped his hands and made the decision immediately.

"Well, I'll go check on the other dead people in the diplomatic embassy."

"Uncle Maori, take them to ask Takayoshi Tsujimura and Sachiko Katsuragi."

"As for Tsujimura Toshimitsu's affairs, I'll leave it to Xiang Yuan to handle."

"Then at nine o'clock in the evening, come here to combine and piece together all the information!"

"Oh, by the way, where's that high school kid you kept at home? Where did he go?"

...You'd better be careful with your words. I don't want to go to jail before Tsujimura Toshimitsu.

A few black lines appeared on Xiang Yuanguang's forehead.

Are people from Osaka always so thick-skinned?

You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t eat mine.

Don’t talk nonsense, especially don’t talk nonsense about me!
"Hattori, if you don't know how to describe people, you can just use their names. Otherwise, I'm in danger."

"As for Yue Shui... I asked Yue Shui to help me investigate some other things. He will be back later."
