In Detective Conan, you call this just an ordinary lawyer?

How many times did you call the police?

Reiko Kujo looked at Kensuke Komikado with a puzzled expression.

What does this sentence mean?

Before Kujou Reiko could react, Komikado Kensuke continued speaking.

"My client, Ninako, chose to retaliate against Kisai Kaiichi because she had not received any effective solutions after repeatedly calling the police."

As he spoke, Kensuke Komikado took out a stack of materials.

"The materials clearly record the number of times Ms. Ninako called the police, the dates of those calls, and the police report details."

"This is enough to show that Ms. Ninako has considered resolving the stalking and harassment through legal means, isn't it?"

"But what was the result?"

"The Beika Police Station still has not chosen to use legal means to stop Kisai Kaito from stalking and harassing Ms. Ninako."

"This is also the direct cause of this murder."

"Prosecutor, I would like to ask you, did Ms. Ninako report the incident to the police as you instructed?"

"and then?"

"You should know the result very well now, right?"

Reiko Kujo frowned slightly; she had a feeling that something was amiss.

Shouldn't they be discussing the issue of legitimate self-defense?

Why did the topic suddenly shift to the issue of calling the police?

Seeing Kujo Reiko's somewhat bewildered state, Gu Yi smiled slightly, even feeling a little smug.

The current Reiko Kujo is no different from the one before.

He was like a novice when facing Kensuke Komikado.

"etc."

Reiko Kujo interrupted Kensuke Komikado's statement.

"I don't think the discussion of this case should get bogged down in these things."

"What we are discussing now is whether Ninako's death of Kisai Kaiichi constitutes murder or self-defense."

"Instead of getting hung up on whether Sinako called the police or whether the matter was resolved."

"Attorney Komikado, what you are doing now is simply stalling for time and not directly addressing the questions raised by the prosecution."

Kensuke Komikado curled his lips into a sneer, a mocking expression on his face.

"Prosecutor Kujo, you're the one who's not giving a direct response to the discussion about this case."

"Just now, I was describing Ms. Ninako's psychological state in relation to the case."

"This is clearly a manifestation of the subjective intent of legitimate self-defense."

"There are no problems at all."

"And you, Prosecutor Kujo, interrupted my statement."

"They even questioned whether my client's actions were problematic."

"I'm just responding to you now, asking why my client didn't call the police."

"But what about you?"

"They're questioning again about my failure to directly address the earlier question regarding whether Ms. Ninako acted in self-defense."

"Prosecutor Kujo, don't you think your questions and inquiries are rather uninteresting?"

"Does it only constitute a formal response to the prosecution's questions if I accept your assertions and conclude that my client committed murder?"

Faced with the question posed by Kensuke Komikado, Reiko Kujo took a deep breath and looked at the members of the judging panel.

She had noticed that the other judges among the informal judges were showing a subtle inclination to favor Kenjiro Komikado during the trial.

This is very detrimental to the trial.

after all.....

The six non-professional judges played a significant role in this trial.

If these non-professional judges tend to accept Kensuke Komikado's statement that Ninako acted in self-defense...

So....

She is very likely to lose this trial.

Therefore, she had to do something to change the attitude of the six non-professional judges towards the trial.

Reiko Kujo looked at the chief referee and made her application.

"Your Honor, during the defense attorney's statement..."

"There has been no direct response regarding the conditions and evidence that Ninako's actions constitute legitimate self-defense."

"The prosecution requested that the defense attorney provide a detailed argument for its defense claims."

"protest!"

Kensuke Komikado raised his hand in rebuttal.

Referee Keita Osaka looked at Kensuke Komikado.

"What is the defense lawyer protesting?"

Kensuke Komikado: "I would like to ask what it means to provide a detailed argument for the defense's claims?"

"Excuse me, doesn't what I just stated constitute an argument for my defense?"

Osaka Keita nodded slightly upon hearing Komikado Kensuke's words.

"This can be considered an argument for the defense's claims."

Upon hearing this reply, Kensuke Komikado continued, "If this is considered an argument for the defense's claims, then why was the prosecutor allowed to interrupt my arguments multiple times?"

"Chief Referee, is this fair?"

Kensuke Komikado confronts Keita Osaka, highlighting that in serious criminal cases like this, the presiding judge wields considerable influence.

However, it is not a one-man show; the decision is made by the entire judging panel after deliberation.

In his view, Ninako's actions were in a legal gray area between murder and self-defense.

Therefore, the attitude and opinions of the referee panel are very important.

His statement just now was also an attempt to win over the judges.

Reiko Kujo clearly saw this, so she repeatedly interrupted his statement to prevent the jury from favoring him.

but....

Anyone can ask to interrupt.

Kensuke Komikado disdained such behavior, as it would be too easy to tarnish the image of non-professional jury members.

He asked the chief referee because...

First, to avoid Reiko Kujo interrupting his statement.

Secondly, this further deepened the non-professional jury's negative impression of Reiko Kujo.

As for the presiding judge, will he develop a negative impression of himself because he confronts the other party directly in court?

Kensuke Komikado didn't care about this.

The fact that Osaka Keida did not stop Kujo Reiko's actions just now already shows that Osaka Keida is inclined to accept the prosecutor's statement.

Since the judge's support is not available, there is no need to continue to accept the judge's opinion in court.

Kensuke Komikado looked up and stared directly at Keida Osaka.

After a moment of silence, Osaka Keita slowly spoke.

"The prosecutor repeatedly interrupted the defense attorney's statements, which disrupted the normal order of the trial."

"A warning is hereby issued to the prosecutor."

"Prosecutors are not permitted to interrupt defense counsel's statements without permission."

"?"

Reiko Kujo frowned upon hearing Osaka Kiida's warning.

So now she can only watch helplessly as Kensuke Komikado uses his silver tongue.

Reiko Kujo turned to look at Taniichi, her voice filled with annoyance: "You've had so many dealings with Kensuke Komikado, has he always been like this?"

Seeing Kujo Reiko's discomfiture, Gu Yi suppressed his inner laughter and nodded silently.

"Yes...it always has been."

"Okay, I'm sorry, Gu Yijun, I misunderstood you. This guy is indeed very troublesome."

Reiko Kujo looked at Kensuke Komikado and said softly.
