People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 426: Reversal of Mask (14)

Tsujimura Kimie, who originally had a gloomy face, immediately reacted after hearing what Prosecutor Dante said.

This was Xiang Yuanguang's trap for her, if she really went to confront her boss at the diplomatic embassy.

This was equivalent to her admitting that she might have heard the phone call that Tsujimura Isao received regarding the special mission...

As a result, one falls into a self-proving trap from which one cannot escape.

Dante's method is simple and crude. He directly escapes the trap of self-proof and raises a new question.

"Even if the boss at the diplomatic embassy was Tsujimura Isao who notified us by phone, so what?"

"Could it be possible that Tsujimura Kimie could hear clearly what was said on the phone?"

"Even if the boss at the diplomatic embassy informed Tsujimura Isao in the office of the diplomatic embassy, ​​so what?"

"If we are chatting in the office, can Tsujimura Kimie definitely go to the side of the office and eavesdrop?"

The silver-haired red prosecutor raised his eyebrows, looking rather frivolous.

He always ends his sentences with rhetorical questions, which is quite aggressive.

"As I said, it's not the first time that the person next to you has different dreams while sleeping in the same bed."

"The investigation team's visit to the Tokyo diplomatic embassy has a certain level of confidentiality, and Tsujimura Isao will not tell his wife."

"If you think so, then please provide evidence that Tsujimura Isao would violate the confidentiality agreement and tell Tsujimura Kimie."

The ball was thrown back——————

Xiang Yuanguang asked Tsujimura Kimie to prove that he did not hear the time of Tsujimura Isao's urgent mission.

Dante demands that Minamoto provide evidence that Tsujimura Isao violated the confidentiality agreement and told Tsujimura Kimie about the matter.

In other words, if after confirming the time, Mukai Mitsuru could not provide evidence that Tsujimura Kimie knew about the matter.

Then this information would be completely invalid, and even the presiding judge's evaluation of him would slightly decline.

"...However, there are differences in the witness's testimony on the same issue from that previously given by the defendant."

"May I ask if the witness was really arranging the tea utensils in the kitchen during the time he was making tea?"

"Or should I go check the quality of the tea leaves in the kitchen when the tea is almost ready?"

Without dwelling on this topic, he changed the direction of attack again towards Yuan Guang.

His expression became much more serious. He patted the case materials in his hand with the back of his hand and asked again.

At this, Tsujimura Kimie's gaze froze.

Since Xiang Yuanguang has now given the difference in his testimony, that means...

According to Toshimitsu Tsujimura's testimony, she was sent away to check the tea leaves when the tea was brewed or almost brewed.

But in fact, this was just an excuse she used to get rid of Tsujimura Toshimitsu and was not part of her original testimony.

"Of course I spent the time I was making tea tidying up the tea utensils in the kitchen."

"After all, it's a day off and the kitchen staff has already left, so I'll just clean it up if I don't like it..."

The old gossip found an excuse for herself and tried to use this opportunity to hide it from Xiang Yuanguang.

However, the blue hedgehog simply shook his head and put down the case file in his hand.

"No, witness, you are lying, because at the time of the crime... there was no tea set that needed to be cleaned up."

"As you said, the day of the incident was a day off for the diplomatic embassy. How could the tea set be in disarray on a day off?"

"The tea set must have been put away by the staff going off duty the day before the day off."

"No one will enter the kitchen to use the tea set after this. Is there any need to tidy up the tea set again?"

At this, Tsujimura Kimie's heart was already beating three times faster.

She opened her mouth to say something, but saw Prosecutor Dante answering before her.

"What do you mean no one came in to use the tea set after that? Don't forget that there was a group of visitors on the day of the incident." "Tsujimura Isao, who rarely uses the kitchen, went to get the tea set to entertain us members of the special operations team."

"As a result, the tea sets in the kitchen were no longer neatly arranged, so the witness went to put them away."

The Red Prosecutor gave a crisp and clear reply, even ending with a rhetorical question.

“Do you think that the tea sets on the coffee table when Toshimitsu Tsujimura and Kimie Tsujimura entered the diplomatic embassy…”

"Were they there originally, and not let there by someone else just to accommodate us?"

...Generally speaking, this can be understood.

However, if Tsujimura Isao specifically brought out tea sets to entertain guests, he would not add tea to the teapot.

Is this a bit too abstract? Since you have come from afar, please drink the air.JPG?

Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers with a strange look on his face.

"Why? Dante, your family owns the diplomatic embassy, ​​and you are not allowed to put tea sets as decorations?"

"The diplomatic embassy just likes to place a set of tea sets on the coffee table as a decoration. Does it bother you?"

"For things like this, you only need to ask other diplomatic missions or staff at the diplomatic mission to find out, right?"

"Also, you are also a member of the special operations team. Don't you know whether the tea set was originally on the table?"

(Should I know...?)

Dante blinked and rubbed his silver hair helplessly.

Not to mention, he really didn't know, after all, he was the last one to enter the diplomatic embassy.

On the way, I was only concerned with the scenery of Tokyo and the poor people in Tokyo.

When getting off the car, I was observing Dai Yamenduo, who always had a square face.

He really didn't know whether tea sets had been placed on the coffee table as decorations in advance.

Seeing this, the presiding judge shook his head and said immediately.

"It seems that both the defense and the prosecutor have questions about the tea set."

"In this regard, I can tell you two about this issue. According to the testimony of the diplomatic staff..."

"This court can confirm that the tea set was placed on the tea table by the staff when they left work last night."

"When the diplomats are about to use the tea set, they will ask the staff to clean it and add tea."

"So the defense's argument is correct. The tea set does serve as a decoration."

...In other words, the presiding judge also believed that the tea set was not taken out and used by the deceased.

Xiang Yuanguang's eyes were suddenly shocked, and without saying a word, he slammed the table and pointed at Prosecutor Dante in the air.

"Both witnesses mentioned in their testimonies that it was the deceased Tsujimura Isao who saw them come in and asked them to make tea."

"Considering the confidentiality you mentioned earlier, wasn't it specifically to let the others leave to avoid suspicion?"

"Therefore, Tsujimura Isao actually didn't plan to add more tea from the beginning, so no one went to the kitchen at that time, and the tea utensils in the kitchen naturally wouldn't be messed up - - - - -"

"That is to say, the tea set in the kitchen should be [tidy], so Tsujimura Kimie's alibi is not valid. She is quite proud of her identity as a diplomat, how could she do something like this?"

"And it was unnecessary to sort out the tea sets that the staff had already sorted out, so this testimony must have been fabricated by Tsujimura Kimie! Just like the defense claimed before."

"The defense believes that the person who actually poisoned was Tsujimura Kimie, not Tsujimura Toshimitsu! The person that Tsujimura Toshimitsu mentioned earlier was distracted by tea leaves was not Tsujimura Kimie, but himself!"

A strong wind blew at this moment, and immediately Prosecutor Dante's windbreaker moved with the wind.

But he himself seemed to feel nothing about it and stood there motionless.

But his expression was no longer as relaxed as before, and he was a little speechless about this special situation.
