dong dong dong.

The presiding judge knocked the table with the gavel in his hand and nodded.

"Well, what Prosecutor Gold said is correct. This court will accept the following evidence."

"Prosecutor Gold, do you have anything else you want to say?"

"Haha, I don't have anything else to say about such a simple case."

Prosecutor Gold held his cup of coffee and stared quietly at Xiang Yuanguang across from him.

He shook his head, then gave his final opinion.

"Apart from the fact that the victim has not yet regained consciousness, we have no way of knowing Asai Shigemi's motive for the murder."

"All other evidence that can prove that Asai Shigemi attempted murder is complete."

"He was even caught by Officer Takagi while on the run... hehe."

"The fact of the crime is [beyond doubt], and there is no need for [defense]..."

If it were any other case, Prosecutor Gold's words would be correct.

Even if Genmitsu encountered a similar situation, he would have a preconceived notion that it was Asai Narimi who attempted murder.

Unfortunately, Xiang Yuanguang himself has a hack and can tell whether something is true or false at a glance.

Before Prosecutor Gold had finished speaking, there was a slap on the table in the courtroom.

Boom!

The presiding judge was furious, and before that there was a rookie lawyer who slammed the table in the courtroom.

Now there is another one, really treating it as a trial court————

"A pound of pears (objection)! The evidence in this case is not yet clear, how can it be [beyond doubt]!"

Word bullet【5/5】.

Xiang Yuanguang pointed at Prosecutor Gold, and the verbal bullet took effect instantly.

The strong wind swept in all directions, and the presiding judge, who was about to get angry, was blown in the face and was blown back into the chair of the presiding judge's seat, his face full of shock and confusion.

What? Is it true that the rumor that Attorney Xiang Yuanguang knows magic?

So the presiding judge coughed twice and decided not to pursue the matter of Xiang Yuanguang slamming the table.

After all, the previous one was a rookie lawyer, and this one is a rookie magician, they are not of the same level.

dong dong dong.

The judge spoke, striking the table with the gavel again.

"Then please ask the prosecutor in charge of this case to explain the details."

Prosecutor Gold sneered, nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"Then let Officer Takagi's testimony give you, the rookie, the final blow."

Witness and detective Takagi Wataru is present!

Chapter 49 Intersection, then Reversal (3)

————Tokyo District Court, First Lounge————

"So, it's my turn now?"

Officer Takagi looked up, still holding a long manuscript in his hand.

This is the testimony he prepared specifically for this trial.

It must be foolproof and flawless!

Promotion and salary increase are not far away from him!

Officer Takagi was full of confidence. He pushed open the door of the first lounge and walked towards the first trial court with the bailiff.

Seeing the smile that Takagi Shigeru couldn't suppress on his lips, the bailiff next to him couldn't help but ask.

"Officer Takagi, why are you smiling so happily?"

“I remembered something happy.”

Officer Takagi nodded.

"What happy thing?"

The bailiff asked.

"Of course it's my salary review this month——"

Before Officer Takagi could finish his words, the door to the first courtroom was pushed open.

Then, he swallowed the second half of his sentence, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Because Officer Takagi finally noticed that the defense lawyer in this case was actually Xiang Yuanguang...

(What are you doing? Didn’t Attorney Xiang Yuan say that he was in charge of the SL3 incident twelve years ago, and his opponent was Prosecutor Kujo Reiko? Why is Attorney Xiang Yuan now in the defense seat of the First Trial Chamber?)

Takagi Shigeru suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart. He walked into the courtroom and came to the witness stand.

The testimony that I had remembered very clearly suddenly became unclear again.

"Hehe, it seems that Detective Takagi is still a little nervous."

"However, you don't need to be nervous. The circumstances of this case are already very clear."

“You just need to tell the truth you know.”

Noticing that Officer Takagi seemed a little nervous, Prosecutor Gold took a sip of coffee and said so.

(I hope so.)

With a desperate mentality, Takagi Shigeru took out his testimony from his pocket.

He looked at Xiang Yuanguang nervously before speaking.

[Testimony begins]

"I received intelligence and waited outside the civic center in advance."

"Then I heard a "click" sound, and I saw Dr. Asai rushing out from the broken glass window. Then I arrested Dr. Asai."

"After arresting Dr. Asai, I returned to the piano room to check on the situation and found that Murasawa Shuichi had been attacked and his life or death was unknown."

"There is no alibi on the scene. The only suspect is Dr. Asai, so I think... Dr. Asai is the murderer of this attempted murder case."

[End of testimony]

The presiding judge sitting in the main seat nodded.

Judging from what Officer Takagi mentioned, the case is already very clear.

Asai Narimi attacked Murasawa Shuichi, then broke the window and escaped, but was caught on the spot by Officer Takagi.

And the only suspect was Narumi Asai.

It seems there is no need to doubt it.

"The facts of this case are clear, and this court believes that there is no need to conduct a further trial..."

Boom!

Xiang Yuanguang slammed the table and the bullet started to move.

The gavel that the chief judge was about to drop was blown by the strong wind and fell to the ground because he lost his grip!

Word bullet【5/5】.

Everyone in the court was surprised and didn't understand why something unexpected happened in the courtroom.

But Mao Lilan, who had seen Xiang Yuanguang solve cases, was not surprised at all.

Well, it’s nothing more than Lawyer Xiang Yuan using magic to solve the case again.

this is normal.

"A pound of pears (objection)! There are so many doubts in this case, how can we say that it is closed!?"

"I question the witness's third testimony: [Then I heard a click, and I saw Dr. Asai rushing out from the broken glass window—and then I arrested Dr. Asai.]" Xiang Yuanguang turned and stared at Officer Takagi.

He shouted without hesitation.

"The defense requires the witness to explain this statement in detail!"

Officer Takagi swallowed, not knowing what was wrong with what he said.

Prosecutor Gold slammed the coffee cup on the table.

"A pound of pears! Whether there is room for doubt or not is up to the defense! Is the prosecution going to interfere with the questioning?!"

Faced with Prosecutor Gold's objection, Xiang Yuanguang slammed the table again without hesitation.

There was an immediate uproar in the audience.

"Yes, you can ask whether there is room for doubt or not."

"Well, how can the prosecutor interfere with the lawyer's questioning?"

Boom, boom, boom.

The presiding judge picked up the gavel on the ground, returned to his seat, and struck the gavel repeatedly.

"Silence, silence. This court requires silence. Please do not speak in the audience."

"The claim made by Attorney Xiang Yuan is valid, and Prosecutor Gold's objection is overruled."

"Please, Detective Takagi, answer the questions raised by Attorney Minamoto."

Picking up the coffee cup, Prosecutor Gold narrowed his eyes slightly under the instrument.

(Are you actually pointing to this testimony? It seems that you are planning to prove Asai Narimi's innocence first?)

(Well, let's see how far you can go.)

"The description of [the sound] in this testimony is not clear enough."

Xiang Genguang snapped his fingers and pointed at Detective Takagi.

He spoke with unusual confidence.

"Detective Takagi, what did that [click] sound you heard sound like?"

Suzuki Sonoko, who was in the audience, was a little confused.

Click is click, what does it have to do with this case?

Ran Mao Li who was standing next to her reacted. She remembered the situation at the crime scene and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Ah, is that the sound of breaking glass?"

Detective Takagi, who was present at the scene, also testified to this and revised his testimony.

"The [crackling] sound I heard should be the sound of glass breaking."

"After I returned to the piano room with Asai Narimi, I saw that the glass of the piano room window was broken."

Touching his chin, Xiang Yuanguang asked again.

"Are you sure?"

Detective Takagi nodded.

"I'm sure. It's exactly the same sound as glass breaking."

At this moment, the presiding judge on the main seat saw that Xiang Yuanguang was just asking such meaningless questions.

He couldn't help but shake his head and said.

"The defense actually asked this kind of question. Is it just to delay time?"

"This court cannot allow this to happen if the defense cannot present new arguments."

"In this case, Asai Narimi will be the one to handle it..."
