People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 417: Reversal of Mask (5)

"Since you've said that, I guess the next step is to change witnesses to testify on the doubts?"

"Are you going to let Toshimitsu Tsujimura play, or will you let Kimie Tsujimura play?"

Dante didn't seem surprised by the hypothesis that Genkou had proposed earlier.

He yawned, looking a little sleepy, then rubbed his eyes and asked.

At this time, Xiang Yuanguang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Yes, his goal was indeed to get one of the two to testify in court at this time.

Among them, the best witness was Toshimitsu Tsujimura who stood on the witness stand and testified.

Because if Tsujimura Kimie testifies in court, then Tsujimura Toshimitsu will be able to use Tsujimura Kimie's testimony...

To adjust the truth he knows and thus further improve the testimony.

Although Xiang Yuanguang did not think that the other party's adjusted testimony could defeat his heart lock and logical chess.

But sometimes it is better to have less trouble than more, and a quick decision is always the right choice.

He gently tapped his forehead with his fingers and pretended to be thinking to Yuan Guang.

Uncle Maori next to him has already demonstrated his amazing wisdom.

"Then we must let Tsujimura——"

Before Uncle Maori could finish his words, Tsujimura Toshimitsu, who was sitting in the dock, stood up suddenly.

The elderly old man said loudly.

"Wait a moment, Your Excellency the Judge, I want to testify as a witness!"

"This case is a crime I committed. It has nothing to do with Tsujimura Kimie!"

"Regarding the contradictions in Inspector Shiratori's testimony just now... I can make up for it!"

(Very good, Tsujimura Toshimitsu jumped out on his own. If things go according to plan...)
(The issues concerning Toshimitsu Tsujimura and Kimie Tsujimura will soon be resolved, and evidence collection can begin.)
(There are still three days from today, which is more than enough time to find evidence to prove Tsujimura Kimie’s guilt.)
Xiang Yuanguang's finger on his forehead suddenly stopped, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Tsujimura Toshimitsu couldn't help but be shocked.

Could it be that even the scene of him standing up now was within Xiang Yuanguang's expectations?
But no matter what, it is better for him to come out as a defendant than for Kimie Tsujimura to come out as a witness.

Because, having faced Xiang Yuanguang's attack in the detention center, he knew Xiang Yuanguang's strength better than anyone else.

In just a few words, you can dig out the deepest secrets in other people's hearts...

Even he, who has more life experience, seems vulnerable in front of Xiang Yuanguang, let alone the younger Tsujimura Kimie?
"Ha, the defense lawyer is going to confront his client in court?"

"This is a rare situation even in the United States."

Dante's tone was still so casual and he didn't care at all.

He snapped his fingers and gave his opinion easily.

"The prosecutor agreed to allow the defendant, Toshimitsu Tsujimura, to testify as a witness."

"Hey, old man, what do you think? Do you agree or disagree?"

...Old? Old man? ?

The blond judge's expression suddenly became serious.

He looks very young no matter how you look at him. How can someone of his age be considered old?
The most you can say is "Uncle". Calling him "Grandpa" is too rude!

dong dong.

The presiding judge lowered the gavel and ignored Prosecutor Dante's words.

Instead, he turned to ask for the defense's opinion.

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, your client will have to appear in court in person to testify."

"Would you object to this? Or do you also want to confront your client in court?"

Snap. Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers, then pointed to Tsujimura Toshimitsu who was at the witness stand.

The blue hedgehog looked like he had it all figured out as he spoke confidently.

"The defense agrees to allow Toshimitsu Tsujimura to appear in court as a witness to provide additional testimony regarding the contradictions raised by Inspector Shiratori!"

"However, please, Mr. Judge, inform Mrs. Tsujimura who is in the lounge in advance."

"Because, even if we get additional testimony from Toshimitsu Tsujimura, it must be confirmed by Mrs. Tsujimura!"

Uncle Maori next to him subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Although he had witnessed many court trials with Xiang Yuanguang, this was the first time he had seen such a trial.

After all, there are almost no clients of Xiang Yuanguang who would go against him!

What’s more, this is a client who insists that he is guilty and is completely on the opposite side of Xiang Yuanguang!
(Is there really something different behind this case?)

(But if no other evidence is found, testimony alone is not enough to constitute decisive facts...)
(As the police already believe that Toshimitsu Tsujimura is the murderer, there is no way to overturn this premise without evidence!)

Kogoro Maori touched his chin subconsciously.

I felt that my limited thinking ability began to work at this moment.

Although he is not a legal professional, he was a police officer in the criminal department.

I am somewhat confident in my reasoning about the case.

(Then, let me integrate all the information and intelligence now and in the future at once and find the real culprit!)
Uncle Maori made up his mind.

If Xiang Yuanguang knew that the great detective next to him had the same idea.

He will definitely feel very relieved, because he can now use the [Gross Profit Elimination Method] that he hasn't seen for a long time!
"The defense asks the defendant, Toshimitsu Tsujimura, to explain the contradictions between the testimony of Inspector Shiratori."

"Ask him to explain the entire process of the crime!"

Xiang Yuanguang pointed to Tsujimura Toshimitsu behind the testimony stand.

Sweat suddenly broke out on Lao Deng's forehead, but he still spoke through gritted teeth.

"Of course, I am the murderer in this case. What's the point of talking about the whole process of the crime... I know it all!"

Looking at the defense lawyer and the defendant who are facing each other in front of me.

The presiding judge shook his head helplessly and then lowered the gavel.

"Then, the court requests that the defendant, Toshimitsu Tsujimura, begin his testimony in accordance with the questions asked by the defense."

[~Testimony about the whole process of the crime~]

[Testimony begins]

"When I was chatting with her at home, we talked about how Tsujimura Isao didn't come back even though it was his day off."

"So, I thought that Tsujimura Isao might have encountered some special situation, so I suggested going to the diplomatic embassy to find him."

"But we didn't expect that when we arrived at the diplomatic embassy, ​​we saw that Tsujimura Isao was not the only one in the diplomatic embassy."

"Afterwards, I decided to take this opportunity to get rid of Tsujimura Isao, so I took the opportunity to have tea with Tsujimura Kimie."

"At this time, Tsujimura Kimie went to the other side to organize the tea utensils in the kitchen, and I was waiting for the tea to brew."

"When the tea was almost ready, I put cyanide powder into the teapot."

"Then, I distributed the tea to other people to drink. This is how I committed the crime."

"As for why Tsujimura Kimie didn't know about this, that's because I avoided her sight when I did it."

"When she found out afterwards that there was something wrong with the tea, she knew it must have been someone in the kitchen who did it."

"If it wasn't her, then it could only be me who did it!"

[End of testimony]
