People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 418: Reversal of Mask (6)

"Well, there is a kind of mindless beauty in the defendant's testimony."

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and said speechlessly.

Although, he had anticipated this.

Uncle Maori next to him was a little surprised and didn't quite understand what Xiang Yuanguang said.

"I don't think there's anything wrong. When they were in the kitchen, Tsujimura Kimie didn't see Tsujimura Toshimitsu poisoning them."

"But in the case of someone dying from poisoning, only one review of the case is needed."

"Then the murderer can only be someone other than myself."

The blue hedgehog's gaze shifted slightly, lingering for a moment on Uncle Maori's face.

Well, if you completely take the witness' testimony as the truth, then there is indeed no problem.

But in reality, if the testimonies of these stupid witnesses in court were true.

Then there is no point in him being a defense lawyer.

After all, the defense method of a lawyer like him is mainly to expose the lies in the witness testimony...

If everything the witness says is true, then there is nothing that can be done to refute it.

Xiang Yuanguang's finger gently touched his forehead.

(Let me think about where to start asking.)
(First, there are three points worth asking about Toshimitsu Tsujimura.)
(The first is the relationship between Toshimitsu Tsujimura and Isao Tsujimura, that is, the motive.)
(The second is how Toshimitsu Tsujimura obtained cyanide, that is, how he obtained the murder weapon.)
(Third, Tsujimura Toshimitsu claimed that Tsujimura Kimie was not aware of the situation in the kitchen and only found out about it afterwards.)
The blue hedgehog's mind began to work.

The Death God elementary school student sitting in the last row of the audience was also thinking.

But because he did not attend the meeting last night where the detectives exchanged information.

The only information he obtained was the few words mentioned by Kogoro Mori and Ran Mori during their conversation.

Therefore, in terms of reasoning progress, he is actually lagging behind Xiang Yuanguang, who is currently sitting behind the defense seat and appears to be calm and composed.

"Oh, I see. Well, that's fair enough."

Dante at the prosecutor's table touched his chin, seeming to have difficulty commenting on Tsujimura Toshimitsu's testimony.

But perhaps because of his professional ethics as a prosecutor, he finally looked at Xiang Yuanguang.

"Virgil, are you going to enter the [questioning phase] now?"

"If you don't have any new evidence, I'm afraid there's no way to overturn Tsujimura Toshimitsu's testimony."

"How about it? Do you want me to teach you what to do in this situation?"

As Prosecutor Dante spoke, three question marks immediately appeared on Toshimitsu Tsujimura's head at the testimony stand.

No, buddy, you are the one who sued me as the murderer in this case, and now you are helping the lawyer to accuse me?

Hmm? You, a dog official, are you deliberately making fun of me? If it weren't for me not being able to go over...

Even if my old bones fall apart I will still fly over and give you a kick!
"Hmm... So, the defense is going to start the [questioning phase] now?"

"This court feels that the defense has been given enough time to think so far."

The blond judge ignored Dante's words, as if he was used to it.

I simply asked the defense lawyer at the defense table.

Xiang Yuanguang nodded without hesitation and spoke seriously.

"No problem, the defense can begin the [questioning phase] now."

——————Inquiry begins————————

Finally, I went over Tsujimura Toshimitsu's testimony in my mind.

He spread his hands towards Yuan Guang, shrugged, and said in a relaxed manner.

"The defense will question the witness's fourth statement [Afterwards, I decided to take this opportunity to get rid of Tsujimura Isao, so I took the opportunity to have tea with Tsujimura Kimie]."

"May I ask what was the defendant's purpose in killing the deceased Tsujimura Isao? He was your biological son, right? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, let alone the father-son relationship between humans?"

Hearing this, Dante couldn't help but frown. He thought he was good at Japanese, but now he seemed to not understand the proverb that Genkou was saying.

Did this guy go to study somewhere? He always uses some uncommon Japanese idioms when speaking now.

"Motive... Although Tsujimura Isao and I are father and son, our relationship has actually been broken for a long time."

"I had arguments with him all the time and it all came down to his relationship with his ex-wife."

"My ex-daughter-in-law treated me very well, but he couldn't wait to marry someone new after she died..."

"Alas, he is just a cold-hearted person. If I say a few more words to him, he will get angry. Over time, it has become like this."

Tsujimura Toshimitsu sighed, it seems to be true.

However, Xiang Yuanguang felt that this guy was simply making up lies and stories.

He had previously obtained the ex-husband of Tsujimura Kimie, who was a diplomat but died in prison for unknown reasons...

Information about Yamashiro Kenji brought to him by Kaga Ranmaru.

The former diplomat died fifteen years ago and was imprisoned for malfeasance twenty years ago.

It seems that Tsujimura Isao and Tsujimura Toshimitsu were the driving forces behind this. Although it is secret, it is not difficult to find out.

(If Toshimitsu Tsujimura and Isao Tsujimura had acted more skillfully, Kimie Tsujimura would probably have died without knowing the situation.)
(And if Tsujimura Kimie hadn't investigated Yamajo Kenji's affairs, Kaga Ranmaru wouldn't have been able to do it...)
(In just one night, we followed the investigation route of Tsujimura Kimie to find out about Yamajo Kenji.)
Xiang Yuanguang placed his hands on the table and then opened them.

While Uncle Maori looked as if he had seen a ghost, a cup of coffee appeared on the other side of the table without him noticing.

It slid into Xiang Yuanguang's hand with a whoosh, and Xiang Yuanguang picked it up and took a sip.

The blue hedgehog said easily with a confident smile on his face.

"Witness, you just said that you were dissatisfied because Tsujimura Isao quickly married a new wife after his wife died..."

"Even at home, there are arguments and disagreements, right?"

Hearing these words, Tsujimura Toshimitsu frowned.

But after thinking about it, I felt that there was no problem, so I nodded.

"Yes, it's just as you said. Any problem?"

"Don't forget, this is Beika Town. This reason is enough as a motive for murder!"

...What you said makes so much sense that for a moment I didn’t know how to refute you.

Xiang Yuanguang's hand froze in mid-air, a speechless look appearing on his face.

That’s right, this is the sinful city of Beika-cho, where the slightest conflict can escalate into a bloody incident.

Even between father and son, it is normal for them to kill each other due to some quarrels that accumulate over time.

Moreover, even the presiding judge nodded, as if he thought there was nothing wrong with what Tsujimura Toshimitsu said.

Only Dante, who had just arrived in Beika Town and had no idea about the situation here, frowned.

He looked a bit out of place, which made this guy's mysterious image less impressive.

"Alas, I don't know how to tell your clumsy lie for a moment."

"Put it this way, Mr. Tsujimura."

Xiang Yuanguang shook his head slightly, and the next moment, the coffee cup slammed to the ground.

The coffee liquid inside splashed up, but what splashed faster than the coffee liquid was Xiang Yuanguang's finger in the air!

"What a pity! The testimony you just gave is all bullshit, not a single word of it is true!"

"The defense has a decisive witness who can completely refute your testimony!"

The decisive witness? So soon?
Tsujimura Laodeng was shocked, but what he could not have expected was

The identity of the decisive witnesses who are about to appear...is actually them!
