Chapter 380: Great Ace Attorney… No Way! (11)

Ten minutes passed quietly.

Prosecutor Sugiura, who was furious before, returned to the prosecutor’s seat with a poker face.

But with the observation ability of Genmi-Kumi and Hattori Heiji, it is not difficult to see——————

The guy seemed to be trying to hold back a laugh, congratulating himself on his own wit.

However, Xiang Yuanguang remained indifferent to this and nodded secretly.

You have to know that Kento Toba’s testimony had been carefully considered for a long time and had no flaws.

But now Prosecutor Sugiura goes to see Kento Toba to explain the new developments in the case.

Kento Toba’s testimony will definitely be revised based on new circumstances.

It takes a thousand lies to cover up one lie.

“…That means Toba Kento’s flaw will become even bigger next time.”

“If I’m not mistaken, the murderer is that guy, right?”

Hattori Heiji, who was standing next to Genkou, said softly, it seems that there is a result.

After all, among the testimonies given by Inspector Shiratori at the time, there was some “strange” testimony related to Kento Toba.

Fujisawa Toshiaki was attacked and everyone in the room was a suspect.

But only Kento Toba was ruled out as a suspect, like a white lotus standing out in the mud.

(Also, if we focus on the idea that Kento Toba is the murderer, and then work backwards.)
(It is clear that both Kanaya Hiroyuki and Oki Ayako are related to Toba Kento.)
(If Fujisawa Toshiaki’s testimony that “Ayako Oki died as a result” is correct.)
(Then, he and Ooki Ayako should be the targets of Kento Toba’s attack.)
After all, the people who went to check on Kanaya Hiroyuki at that time were Fujisawa Toshiaki and Oki Ayako.

If he was worried that these two people would discover his crime and planned to kill them…that would make sense.

As for why Kento Toba wanted to kill Hiroyuki Kanaya?
Well… we have to wait until Kento Toba himself comes to the courtroom and asks in person to find out the reason.

“That’s a good point, but you’re still too impulsive.”

“This may result in you being directly expelled from the court and banned from participating in the trial.”

Xiang Yuanguang took a sip of coffee and said calmly.

However, Hattori Heiji shrugged and said as a matter of course.

“I’m not a defense lawyer. Isn’t it enough for you to be in the court? Who is the real murderer…”

“You had already determined this before the trial began, and I have only now come to the conclusion that you already knew.”

…This is different, because I am cheating, if you knew it as early as I did.

Unless you are the ultimate kryptonian gold boss of life and death sniper, otherwise you can only be a cheater.

Xiang Yuanguang was secretly complaining in his heart, while the presiding judge lowered the gavel.

“Silence, silence! This court needs silence to hear the case! Now let’s continue with the trial of the Sherlock Holmes fan murder case!”

“Previously, the witness Fujisawa Toshiaki has completed his testimony. May I ask whether the defense will enter the [questioning] phase?”

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes immediately fell on Xiang Yuanguang.

The legendary lawyer, who had created many impossibilities in previous trials, nodded slightly.

The next moment, the BGM sounded in the courtroom.

(Current BGM: Xunwen~モデラート2002)

【~Inquiry Begins~】

It was as if green subtitles flashed by.

Xiang Yuanguang’s eyes suddenly became serious.

He picked up the court records, tapped them, and then asked.

“I want to question the witness’s third statement [the book was placed in a special collection box, which had a special label on it].”

“Since you have seen the collector’s box containing the first edition of A Study in Scarlet, can you identify the box if you see it again?”

This problem directly affects whether the case can proceed in the same way as Xiang Yuanguang expected. And it was solved before the trial began, when he met with Fujisawa Toshiaki last night.

At that time, he directly asked Asai Makoto to bring the remains of the wooden box to Fujisawa Toshiaki for identification.

After cleaning the surface of the wooden box a little, you can see a special incomplete logo pattern.

“Don’t underestimate Sherlock Holmes fans. Although I’m over 40 years old, I have a good memory.”

“I’ve seen the collection box of Hiroyuki Kanaya more than once, and I’m very impressed by the special logo.”

“Even though I can’t draw it, I can definitely recognize it if it’s in front of me.”

Fujisawa Toshiaki said very confidently.

Prosecutor Sugiura, who had a stern face, almost couldn’t hold it together.

Why was this guy acting like a lost dog when he was talking about evidence with him at the Metropolitan Police Department yesterday?

He said he knew nothing about anything, he was a master of bullshit literature, it was a complete reversal from what it is now!

Prosecutor Sugiura pushed up his glasses and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Finally, I decided to continue to endure it. Endure it! When Kento Toba appears in court, everything will be fine!
“Then the defense will present a new piece of evidence at this time——”

“Perhaps it can’t be considered new evidence, after all, I have mentioned it before.”

He smiled slightly at Yuan Guang, then snapped his fingers and spoke easily.

“The defense requests the presentation of evidence found in the car where Ayako Oki died.”

“Evidence [The remains of the box containing the first edition of A Study in Scarlet]!”

Xiang Yuanguang had indeed mentioned this piece of evidence before.

Originally, Prosecutor Sugiura was considering whether to seize this opportunity to use the evidence law to slap Xiang Yuanguang in the face.

But on second thought, this was mentioned in the updated autopsy report.

The relevance to the case was certain, and he had no reason to question the evidence presented by the defense.

Seeing that the elite prosecutor remained silent, the presiding judge nodded immediately.

“Then, this court will accept the new evidence submitted by the defense. Please verify its authenticity now.”

pat.

He snapped his fingers again, and according to the planned process, Xiang Yuanguang placed the remains of the wooden box on the evidence table.

The wreckage was immediately reflected on the screen, and everyone could see the contents clearly.

In addition to the words “blood” and “research” that do exist, there are also special incomplete patterns.

“Excuse me, is this wooden box wreckage the remains of the collection box of the first edition collector’s edition that you saw?”

The hedgehog-haired lawyer’s voice was calm.

Fujisawa Toshiaki nodded immediately and even added a sentence.

“Yes, it is this pattern. Those who participated in the quiz activities in previous years and others who participated in the quiz activities this year can prove that this pattern is the special logo of the first edition of “A Study in Scarlet”!”

This result was within the expectations of Prosecutor Sugiura.

But when this question was actually brought up, Prosecutor Sugiura’s expression couldn’t help but darken.

However, this is no longer important. What is important is the subsequent questioning by the defense.

The second half of Fujisawa Toshiaki’s words is the most important part of these testimonies!

Especially what was written on that note——————

In various senses, they are important evidence that determine the direction of the case.

Although, in every sense, he had no idea of ​​the existence of this evidence before…

(Xiang Yuanguang, other prosecutors are afraid of you, but I am not!)
(I went through a lot of hardships during my years at Honchidai!)
(What kind of newcomer have I not fought? Even a newcomer like Dai Machiko is powerless in front of me!)
(You are called the newbie crusher! Today, let me crush you, the newbie, as well!)
