People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 429: Reversal of Mask (17)

"Xiang Yuanguang, even if you say so, so what? Can the motive alone determine whether I am guilty or not?"

Tsujimura Kimie's attitude was already a little crazy, which made the bailiffs nearby even more on guard.

Although this gossipy woman is already in her forties or fifties, if she really tries to hurt someone in the courtroom, then their salary assessment as bailiffs for this month will be completely wiped out.

You should know that the salary of bailiffs in Beika Town is very high. After all, they have high-intensity court sessions and full shifts every day, so it goes without saying that the share of their salary is quite high... although a lot is deducted too.

"You must produce evidence that can prove that I committed murder before you can say that I am the murderer in this case. And you... definitely cannot produce evidence that can prove that I committed murder!"

"Because I didn't kill anyone! Your explanation is just your wishful thinking, so-called [reversal of reasoning]. When will you, a bunch of lawyers, get out of Beika Town?"

"The atmosphere in our Beika Town has been ruined by lawyers like you!"

(Who are you calling a lawyer, you old bitch? Do you want to test the sharpness of my sword?)
Xiang Yuanguang's eyes suddenly changed.

He wants to let this old bitch see what a real howling gale means and what a real strong wind with a slicked back hair looks like. If you go out today with your hair done in good condition, I will write my name upside down!

As soon as I slid my hand, the number of word bullets in the attribute panel suddenly appeared. Because all the previous word bullets were correct, it is now maintained at the full quota of [5/5].

How can we lose with so much ammunition? We can’t lose, we can’t lose at all! Today, we will defeat this old bitch!

The blue hedgehog slammed his hands on the table, then pointed in the air at Tsujimura Kimie.

"Do you think that no one else noticed your little tricks? To tell you the truth, you have no way to escape! No matter what, you can't hide it from your own heart!"

Since the time travel, Xiang Yuanguang's heart lock function has never failed. The question he asked was [Did you kill the deceased in the diplomatic embassy?], and Tsujimura Kimie's answer caused the heart lock to appear.

In other words, the deceased in the diplomatic embassy was indeed killed by Kimie Tsujimura, so she is the murderer in this case, there is no doubt about this. Now all we need to do is find evidence that can deal a fatal blow to Kimie Tsujimura.

So, is this piece of evidence in the court records that he has in his hand now or not...?
Xiang Yuanguang's eyes were filled with determination. In fact, his mind had already begun to work at a very fast pace, and the answer was about to come out. It only took a moment to defeat Tsujimura Kimie——————

"Virgil, you speak as if you can see into other people's minds, but that is impossible. People cannot understand each other."

Prosecutor Dante finally interrupted at this moment, his gaze lingering on Tsujimura Kimie's face. As an excellent prosecutor who had some knowledge of criminal psychology, he could see that Tsujimura Kimie's heart had been shaken.

However, this case should not be closed on the first day of trial, so he now has to find Xiang Yuanguang's flaws. No, maybe it’s not about finding flaws, just putting some pressure on him will be enough.

"If you really think that Tsujimura Kimie is guilty, then don't just keep talking. I mean, Virgil, if you think that Tsujimura Kimie is guilty, you have to produce the evidence yourself."

"As a famous lawyer, don't you even understand this rule in the courtroom?"

The prosecutor's words also brought the blond presiding judge back to his senses. He nodded seriously, then lowered the gavel, asking the audience to be quiet, and then began to ask questions.

"What Prosecutor Dante said is correct, Attorney Xiang Yuan, if you believe that Tsujimura Kimie is the real murderer in this case, then you must produce evidence that can prove Tsujimura Kimie's guilt." "Unilaterally exerting psychological pressure on Tsujimura Kimie, trying to make Tsujimura Kimie confess to the crime to end this trial... is actually not advisable, because if there is insufficient evidence, the result will be reversed as long as the appeal is made."

"This court would like to confirm once again, Attorney Mugen, are you now going to claim that Tsujimura Kimie is the murderer in this case, and are you able to prove this claim?"

Tsk, if I fail to prove my point this time, the presiding judge’s impression of me will probably drop significantly.

However, even if the score declined significantly, there should be at least two opportunities to prove that Tsujimura Kimie was guilty.

Xiang Yuanguang said nothing, just quietly looked at Tsujimura Kimie, whose expression had become somewhat ferocious, and then his eyes swept over the other people in the Tsujimura family - for example, Tsujimura Toshimitsu, whose expression was indescribable and complex, and Tsujimura Takayoshi, who was sitting on a chair, doubting his life and thinking about what was going on.

Takayoshi Tsujimura's girlfriend, Sachiko Katsuragi, who is the biological daughter of Kimie Tsujimura, is comforting her boyfriend instead. She seems to have accepted it and has a much stronger psychological endurance.

(No matter what you say on the surface or what you think in your heart, it doesn’t matter. The evidence proving Tsujimura Kimie’s guilt is indeed in my hands. However, the authenticity of this evidence still needs to be verified...)
The blue hedgehog touched his chin, thought for a moment, and subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table of the defense bench. Then there was a loud bang - the wooden table of the defense bench collapsed under the weight.

It turned out that the wooden table was already unable to hold up under Xiang Yuanguang's fierce bombardment. Now Xiang Yuanguang's light knock became the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing the table to collapse immediately.

"..."

Xiang Yuanguang's thoughts suddenly stopped. He looked down at the collapsed table in the defense seat, then looked up at the blond presiding judge in the main seat. He saw that the presiding judge looked quite helpless.

"It's okay, Lawyer Xiang Yuan, you go ahead and talk first. We can talk about the table after the trial is over."

The blond judge said helplessly, as if he was mentally prepared for this.

Xiang Yuanguang coughed twice, leaned over and pulled out a piece of information from the folder, then pointed at the auntie who was showing off her facial expressions behind the testimony desk.

"The evidence that proves that Tsujimura Kimie is the real murderer is right here!"

Present——————evidence [information of the Dongcheng Clan’s Jinshan Group].

When seeing this document, the audience behind the defense seat had no reaction, but the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department behind the prosecutor's seat had already frowned and a bit of anger appeared on their faces.

This information doesn't even need to be proven true or false, because the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department know very well that the gangsters of the Tojo Clan really do engage in this kind of business, such as selling cyanide!
A senior member of the Metropolitan Police Department slammed the table, stood up, and spoke angrily.

"Tojo Clan, it's Tojo Clan again! We originally said that Tojo Clan's sphere of influence in Tokyo was limited to Kamurocho and that we didn't need to worry too much about it, but we didn't expect that they would cause such a big mess today!"

"The illegal gangs must be cracked down at all times! We have to crack down on them! If they dare to sell poison to diplomats and kill the action team from the United States today, they will dare to kill other high-ranking officials tomorrow! Therefore, the East City Association must be cracked down on!"

"The days without the East City Society are good days!"
