People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 427: Reversal of Mask (15)

"Well, even if the situation is really as you said, the current evidence and information cannot explain why Tsujimura Toshimitsu took the blame for Tsujimura Kimie."

"Virgil, can you tell me why he would perjure himself for the man who killed his son?"

Dante no longer cared about tea sets.

In his opinion, since the excuse for Tsujimura Kimie's absence had been revealed, it would be useless to make up for it.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. It would be better to start from other aspects and find another way to stop Xiang Yuanguang.

But Dante didn't know that when he said this, Tsujimura Toshimitsu, who was sitting in the dock, turned pale.

Lao Deng stood up and spoke loudly, ignoring the obstruction of the bailiff next to him.

"You can't tell me, Lawyer Xiang Yuan, you can't tell me! If you tell anyone, you'll be in trouble!"

Takayoshi Tsujimura looked at his grandfather in surprise, wondering what was wrong with him.

So my father is not your biological son, and Kimie Tsujimura is your biological daughter, right?

Things have come to this point, and you are still speaking for Tsujimura Kimie? Is there something shameful in our family?
The court is a fair place to decide what is right and what is wrong. Is there anything that cannot be said openly?
Regardless of Tsujimura Toshimitsu's objection, Takayoshi Tsujimura, who was both a filial grandson and a filial son, immediately slapped the guardrail of the gallery and stood up!

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, tell me quickly, there is nothing shameful in our family, nothing was said in court! My grandfather is old and confused, I support you!"

Tsujimura Toshimitsu, who had just objected, suddenly paused. He looked up at Tsujimura Takayoshi in the audience.

To be honest, he had the urge to go to the orphanage and adopt a trumpeter.

I'm doing this for your own good, why don't you understand? You really don't know how difficult it is to be a parent!

Hearing his older son's voice, Tsujimura Kimie immediately turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

However, his eyes did not fall on Takayoshi Tsujimura at first, but on Sachiko Katsuragi who was beside him.

(…Why is she here? Sachiko is not a person involved in this case, why?)

The old gossip had no idea that the secret police of the Ministry of Public Security had already figured out the matter of interpersonal relationships, otherwise the court leaflets would not have been sent to Katsuragi Sachiko, who didn't even know who her own mother was.

No matter how angry or mad you were, it all turned into a sigh.

Tsujimura Kimie turned his head away, not looking at Tsujimura Takayoshi and Katsuragi Sachiko, as if he didn't want to see them. Whether it was because of guilt or anger, it was unknown.

Fortunately, Xiang Yuanguang is not a person who likes empathy, and he will not empathize with a criminal who harms innocent people for his own revenge.

He slammed his hands on the table at the defense table, stared at Toshimitsu Tsujimura in the dock and Kimie Tsujimura behind the witness stand, and confessed the truth.

"Of course, it's because as a diplomat, Kimie Tsujimura might know about the Silver Star Special Investigation Team, and I'm worried that the people from the Ministry of Public Security will make a big fuss about it."

"I guess if Kimie Tsujimura's poisoning of four people is considered to be a deliberate attempt to obstruct the Silver Star's investigation and deliberately affect the relationship between this country and the United States, it will not only be Kimie Tsujimura who will suffer."

"Including her son Tsujimura Takayoshi, including her father-in-law Tsujimura Toshimitsu, and even her daughter Katsuragi Sachiko, whom she has never recognized - all of them will be implicated by this."

"Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Tsujimura Toshimitsu feared the consequences of this matter and directly took all the responsibility for this case alone and turned himself in to take the blame for Tsujimura Koue."

"Well, what I said was right, wasn't it, Mr. Tsujimura Toshimitsu?"

This is the truth and possibility that Xiang Yuanguang found out from Tsujimura Toshimitsu's words by using the method of reverse thinking when he met Tsujimura Toshimitsu in the detention center.

Faced with this statement that couldn't be more true, Tsujimura Toshimitsu, who had been refuted many times and no longer had the stubbornness he used to have, could only lower his head and hide his face in the shadows. There was no room for rebuttal now. From the moment Xiang Yuanguang said it in the court, no matter how he refuted it, it was meaningless...

"Really? Grandpa, are you really old and confused? You believe this kind of nonsense?"

Takayoshi Tsujimura was horrified and began to speak in a filial voice.

"If the secret police really act according to this logic, then your taking the blame will not affect the final result, right? If they are arrested, they will be arrested. If they are affected, they will be affected. What difference does it make?"

Being accused in person by his own filial grandson, Tsujimura Toshimitsu raised his head sharply.

"Everyone has the right to say that about me, but you don't! Guishan, I'm doing this for your own good, for your own good. How can you say that to me? I'm a university professor, an educated person!"

"You old thing, your knowledge is useless! It's the Heisei era, why are you still clinging to the old ways of the Showa era?! For my own good? You're not doing this for my own good, you're harming me!"

Takayoshi Tsujimura slapped the guardrail of the gallery again, looking quite grief-stricken.

When he looked at Toshimitsu Tsujimura at this moment, it was just like watching the elderly people in his family who were determined to buy the health products in the TV commercials. He was speechless to the extreme!
At this time, Tsujimura Kimie's face behind the testimony podium was extremely ugly.

However, to add fuel to the fire, Kogoro Mori also spoke at this moment.

"Mrs. Tsujimura, the commission you gave me is to investigate the dirt on Ms. Katsuragi Sachiko so that she can leave Mr. Takayoshi Tsujimura and put an end to their special relationship."

"Now that it has come to this, and everyone from the Tsujimura family who can come is here, why don't you tell us the real reason why you want to separate Tsujimura Takayoshi and Katsuragi Sachiko?"

Uncle Maori spoke earnestly, as if he felt a little sorry for the chaotic family relationships here.

"Although Katsuragi Sachiko is your biological daughter and Takayoshi Tsujimura is your stepson, they are not truly related by blood. Why do you want to deliberately separate the two?"

"I think we can just get things straight and talk about anything. There's no need to go to great lengths to deal with something like this."

What? Katsuragi Sachiko is Tsujimura Kimie's biological daughter? Tsujimura Takayoshi is Tsujimura Kimie's stepson?

Are the lovers finally becoming siblings? No wonder Tsujimura Kimie has to hire a detective to break up this couple!

The presiding judge listened to the gossip in the courtroom with great interest and even asked an additional question.

"I think so too. After all, I think your son and daughter love each other. I'm afraid it's not your turn as a stepmother or biological mother to interfere, right?"

...What's so good about listening to such trivial matters?

Dante frowned and shook his head, seeming to disagree.

However, looking at this guy's ears, he seemed to be very concerned about the new news.

However, Xiang Yuanguang sneered and shook his head, with an even colder tone in his voice.

"You are wrong, absolutely wrong. It's not because they are siblings, but because Tsujimura Kimie cannot allow Tsujimura Takayoshi to marry his daughter——————"

"Because, Tsujimura Isao is the indirect murderer of Katsuragi Sachiko's biological father!"

At this moment, whether it is Uncle Mori, Sachiko Katsuragi, or Takayoshi Tsujimura.

Prosecutor Dante and the presiding judge of the First Trial Chamber were all stunned.

No way? There are still experts? Beihua Town is really a place of outstanding people and good things happen frequently!
