People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 457: Reversal of Mask (29)

When she saw the needle, Tsujimura Kimie was already somewhat unsteady on her feet. Her face changed drastically, but she felt unwilling to be punished when she was only seeking revenge for her husband.

It has clearly come to this point, everything is flawless, and all the costs can be borne by the already guilty Tsujimura Isao and Tsujimura Toshimitsu...but why...why is it like this?

Watching the lock on Tsujimura Kimie's heart quietly break and the shrew's expression suddenly change, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Genmitsu's eyes, and he whispered.

"Three, two, one, it's time for the leopard transformation."

"Aa ...

The sharp and piercing sound entered Xiang Yuanguang's eardrum, causing him to frown in displeasure.

Although he had anticipated the sharp explosion of the witness's leopard transformation, it was still very unpleasant to hear it again in the courtroom.

If Beidou Xingsi was here, he would just go up and give this bitch two big dicks, and she would be obedient. Unfortunately, he is a lawyer, and it is not convenient for him to do such things in the court.

(Alas, I have paid too much to become a good lawyer, even though I am just an ordinary art student.)
The blue hedgehog complained in his mind, and waited until Tsujimura Kimie's sharp explosion ended. He admired the twisted look and expression on the shrew's face, and then spoke directly to the blond judge in the main seat.

"Your Majesty, the defense requests that this needle be tested to determine if it contains cyanide and whether it is the key weapon that caused the fatal injury to Tsujimura Isao."

The presiding judge nodded without hesitation, but just as he was about to lower the gavel, he suddenly reacted.

"Ah? Then... if the murder weapon is sent for testing, then doesn't that mean the court will have to adjourn? After all, apart from the murder weapon, there doesn't seem to be anything else to talk about in this case, right?"

...Is there nothing else to say about this case? No, no, no, absolutely wrong.

Xiang Yuanguang looked at the members of the special investigation team sitting in the first row behind the prosecutor's seat. He knew that in this trial, the case was not the key; the key was to catch the traitor in the special investigation team.

Therefore, in response to the presiding judge's request for [adjournment], he simply put the poison needle into the new evidence bag brought by the bailiff, and then asked the bailiff to stand aside holding the evidence bag containing the poison needle, and then he spoke.

"There are still many doubts in this case. For example, is this poison needle hidden in Tsujimura Toshimitsu's keychain after Tsujimura Kimie assassinated Tsujimura Isao? Or is it Tsujimura Toshimitsu who assassinated Tsujimura Isao?"

At this point, Tsujimura Kimie suddenly looked up and came to his senses. Yes, the needle was found in Tsujimura Toshimitsu's key ring, not on her body. Although Maori Kogoro and Mukai Genmitsu's reasoning was indeed very convincing...

However, if Mukai Genmitsu and Mori Kogoro cannot produce evidence to prove that the poison needle was the one she put into Tsujimura Toshimitsu's keychain, there is no way to charge her with murder!

Although she didn't know why Xiang Yuanguang wanted to help her at this time, Tsujimura Gongjie still seized the opportunity. She hurriedly shouted loudly in accordance with Xiang Yuanguang's intention.

"That's right. Even if this needle is really a tool for killing people, it doesn't necessarily mean that I used it. It was clearly found on Tsujimura Toshimitsu's body. How could it be on my head?"

Looking at Tsujimura Kimie, who seemed to have regained some hope, Dante at the prosecutor's seat shook his head.

"It's a shame. The special investigation team can prove that the key ring was on you when you entered the diplomatic embassy, ​​but when the four victims died of cyanide poisoning, I noticed that the key ring was on Tsujimura Toshimitsu."

"That is to say, the keychain was swapped before and after the four victims died. Even if you say that Tsujimura Toshimitsu is the real murderer, you are a complete accomplice. What is there to argue about?"

...The sentence for the accomplice was light, is that even a question? You pizza guy!
Tsujimura Kimie was furious and was about to yell at Dante when he heard the sound of Genmitsu slamming the table - bang!
"For the possibility just raised by the witness, the defense must present a new and decisive piece of evidence!"

Genmitsu deliberately guided Tsujimura Kimie to reveal this possibility in order to produce new evidence at this time.

At this moment, Tsujimura Kimie suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiang Yuanguang, finally realizing that he had been fooled.

Not only is that elusive organization playing tricks on her, but even this defense lawyer is playing tricks on her!

“You, you, you————————”

Tsujimura Kimie pointed at Xiang Yuanguang and was speechless. Seeing her excited, Xiang Yuanguang kindly took out a few envelopes from the folder, held them up in front of everyone, and said with concern.

"What's wrong? Are you going to file a complaint? Wait until I present all the evidence. Otherwise, you don't want us to write down the final result of the trial on a piece of paper and burn it for you, right? That would be so presumptuous, and it would pollute the air."

The blond judge looked at the envelopes curiously, then asked.

"From the witness's appearance, this should be evidence related to her? And since it is conclusive, in other words, is this evidence that can be matched with the testimony of Prosecutor Dante just now?"

Snap——————

Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers, opened the envelopes, and enlarged the letter paper inside with a projector.

As the contents inside were revealed to everyone, the final truth of the matter became clear.

"Tsujimura Kimie's investigation into the death of her ex-husband Yamashiro Kenji, her purchase of 350 milligrams of cyanide, her plan to contact a detective to act as a witness and prepare for the murder - everything is here."

"The hidden terrorist organization had completely understood Tsujimura Kimie, so when the organization threatened Tsujimura Kimie to kill people according to their plan, Tsujimura Kimie finally agreed to it."

"However, she did not burn the letters after reading them as instructed on the letter paper. Perhaps she thought that she would be found out and took out these letters in exchange for meritorious service and escape from the position of the main culprit."

Behind the testimony stand, Tsujimura Kimie had an extremely ugly face, her body was shaking, and she almost fainted from anger, but for some reason, she did not fall down, but just stared at Xiang Yuanguang next to the evidence stand.

Xiang Yuanguang ignored the shrew's look. If looks could kill, he would have been dead long ago. It would not be the shrew's turn to take action. He just kept talking to himself.

"So, Kimie Tsujimura is just a pawn, a pawn used to hurt other innocent people out of revenge. Although she is considered a murderer, she is not the mastermind behind this case."

"Yesterday, the police arrested a member of this organization. He is willing to testify in court and accuse the traitor hiding in the special investigation team. He is willing to tell us who is the mastermind behind this."

"So, Mr. Judge, please allow the defense and the prosecution to jointly request that the last witness of this court, who is also the last key witness, appear in court. In full view of the public——————"

He looked at the blond judge in the main seat and spoke word by word in a very serious tone.

"————Identify the traitor in the Special Investigation Team!"
