People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 414: Reversal of Mask (2)

After hearing what Detective Shiratori said, the presiding judge couldn't help but nod his head.

Just looking at the testimony of Shiratori Jinsaburo, it seems that the situation is clear at a glance.

After all, even the murderer himself turned himself in, and even this trial seemed a bit redundant.

However, we still need to ask the questions that need to be asked.

The blond chief judge coughed twice, then looked at Prosecutor Dante at the prosecutor's table.

He paused for a moment on the almost finished pizza box in the other person's hand, and finally suppressed his anger and asked.

"Prosecutor Dante, you just said that you have evidence proving that the four victims were poisoned by Tsujimura Toshimitsu."

"Excuse me, what is that piece of evidence? Can we submit it as evidence in this case now?"

The questions asked by the presiding judge were naturally the questions that Uncle Maori and Xiang Yuanguang wanted to ask.

Uncle Maori was a little surprised by this, as he had the impression that the presiding judges in the court were all mediocre.

I didn't expect that the presiding judge of the First Trial Chamber, who I had only met once, had his own opinions.

"Police found an unlabeled poison bottle containing toxins in Toshimitsu Tsujimura's study."

"After testing, the drug in the bottle was found to be cyanide, which was consistent with the toxin composition found in the deceased's body."

"The only surprising thing is the amount of cyanide in this bottle...it's not easy to get it."

Dante said with a grin.

The answer he gave naturally made people subconsciously think about the capacity of the "medicine bottle" he mentioned.

You should know that cyanide is extremely toxic. One hundred to two hundred milligrams is enough to be fatal to a normal person.

And the onset is extremely rapid, and if the dose is relatively large, there may even be no chance of rescue.

In the eyes of many killers, cyanide is the first choice of drug and is very suitable.

Even the Black Organization is quite fond of this drug——————

What? If that's the case, why did Gin feed Conan APTX4869 instead of cyanide?

That may be because he felt that the drug ingredient APTX4869 was difficult to detect, so it was easier to hide.

Even though they were capable of blowing up trains and strafing Tokyo Tower with armed helicopters.

"Okay, okay, the prosecutor will present the new evidence now. Virgil, look carefully."

"This is the autopsy report of the deceased, the inspection report of the medicine, and the medicine bottles from the Tsujimura family."

Dante snapped his fingers, and immediately the bailiff pushed the door open and brought the evidence to the courtroom.

It was then placed on the evidence table where everyone could see the unlabeled black medicine bottle.

(The exhibit [Tsujimura Isao's autopsy report] has been added to the court record.)
(Exhibit [autopsy reports of the remaining three victims] have been added to the court record.)
(The exhibit [the bottle of cyanide from Tsujimura's home] has been added to the court record.)
The system prompt sound rang in his ears, and Xiang Yuanguang was stunned for a moment.

What happened? Why was the autopsy report of Tsujimura Isao separated from the autopsy reports of the other three victims?
Is this the system suggesting that his and Tsujimura Isao's situations are different from those of the other three dead?
However, he also saw these materials at the evidence exchange meeting yesterday, and the cause of death of Tsujimura Isao was also cyanide poisoning.

The way he died was the same as the other three victims, the only difference was his relationship with Kimie Tsujimura.

(Could it be that, although both died of cyanide poisoning, Tsujimura Isao's autopsy report concealed...)
(Are there any special key points that can turn the case around?)
The blue hedgehog's mind was racing.

At this moment, Conan, who was sitting in the last row of the audience, felt a little strange.

Although these pieces of evidence can indeed be considered key evidence, they cannot be considered conclusive.

Because the details of the kitchen inside the diplomatic embassy were still unknown. Since Tsujimura Kimie and Tsujimura Toshimitsu went into the kitchen together to prepare tea, it was impossible for Tsujimura Kimie to be unaware of everything.

Therefore, there must be a contradiction between the fifth and eighth sentences.

(So, in order to completely expose the lie of Tsujimura Toshimitsu's surrender, it is necessary to defeat Tsujimura Kimie?)

(However, Xiang Yuan seems to have other ideas. Could it be that he has some evidence that I don't know about?)
The Death God Elementary School Student was still wondering.

Uncle Maori, who was already a little out of breath, came up to Yuan Guang and asked in a low voice.

"Xiang Yuan kid, are you really sure that Tsujimura Toshimitsu is innocent in this case?"

"Tsujimura Toshimitsu has already confessed his guilt, and Tsujimura Kimie has also testified against Tsujimura Toshimitsu as a witness."

"In his home, bottles of cyanide were found, which were used to poison several people in the diplomatic embassy."

"As long as he refuses to give in, there's no way we can reverse the case!"

"I feel like the evidence now is enough to prove that Toshimitsu Tsujimura is the murderer."

...You are right, but isn't Toshimitsu Tsujimura's house the same as Kimie Tsujimura's house?
At first glance, there is evidence and witnesses, but in fact all the conditions and objects are reversed.

The possibility that Kimie Tsujimura is the murderer is also valid. What's the difference?
In order to find evidence that Tsujimura Kimie is the murderer, we must produce different decisive evidence.

Xiang Yuanguang thought quietly, tapping his fingers on the table subconsciously, and ignored Uncle Maori.

He stared at the red prosecutor who was still finishing the pizza in his hand at the prosecutor's seat opposite him, and was silent for a moment.

Then, when the presiding judge couldn't help but want to say something, he finally spoke.

"There is no point in saying more. The defense requests that we now proceed to the [questioning phase]."

"Once this interrogation phase is over, I will personally refute Dante's theory that Tsujimura Toshimitsu is guilty!"

Hearing this, the people in the audience couldn't help but perk up, and then some doubts emerged.

Now that Toshimitsu Tsujimura has surrendered himself and confessed his guilt in his police testimony, how can you overturn his guilt?
As a lawyer, do you want to argue about your own client, the defendant in this case as well?

(Hmm, can you see the problem? Ha, it’s just a process, it doesn’t matter.)
(Two days should be enough to close the gap in between.)
Dante finished off the last of the pizza boxes and simply rested his chin on his hand.

Watching the defense attorney's performance with great interest.

After hearing Xiang Yuanguang's words, the presiding judge immediately nodded and approved his request.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

——————Inquiry begins————————

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and went over in his mind the testimony that Shiratori Renzaburo had just given.

Obviously, the most problematic ones are the obviously contradictory fifth and eighth testimonies.

However, if we directly attack the contradiction between the fifth and eighth testimonies, we may miss some information.

So, start from the first sentence and select the valuable testimony that needs to be confirmed for questioning.

After all, from the moment Dante appeared on the scene, the party with sufficient evidence became the prosecutor!
With his mind made up, Xiang Yuanguang's expression became serious and he slammed his hands on the table at the defense table.

The wooden table in the first courtroom had not yet been replaced with a new one, and it made a sound of being overwhelmed by the slapping.

But the blue hedgehog didn't care about all that. He immediately pointed at Inspector Shiratori behind the testimony desk and spoke loudly.

"Well, I will now begin questioning Inspector Shiratori about his testimony!"
