"Master Xiangyuan, Lawyer Gu Meimen, since you suspect that Meiling murdered someone."
"She has no alibi at all, right?"
Gu Meimen let out a long "oh", and then he said as if he had suddenly realized something.
"So he took the emergency exit. No wonder it wasn't recorded in the surveillance footage."
"No, that's not the case. Besides, the statue is so heavy. How could Meiling, who is so weak, possibly lift it..."
Xiang Yuanguang put down his coffee, stood up, and looked surprised.
"Oh, then it seems that she is not as fragile as she looks. I have heard rumors about her before."
"Also...and..."
"That's enough, Sae-chan, stop talking!"
Finally, Asakura Mirei became furious and could no longer maintain her previous disguise.
But at this moment, Xiang Yuanguang slammed the table again, and the situation at the defense table suddenly became bleak.
"A pound of pears! We are questioning the witness Shimazu Sae now, not you!"
"If you continue to obstruct the defense's questioning, I will charge you with obstructing the court's trial order!"
The strong wind blew, and Asakura Mirei's hair was instantly no longer as neat as before, and she finally couldn't hold it anymore.
From the moment I stood on the witness stand, everything seemed to go completely against my expectations.
What is the reason for this?
The middle-aged presiding judge was about to speak, but at this moment, Gu Meimen had quietly refreshed himself, and he spoke with a smile.
"Mr. Presiding Judge, the trial court must not only consider legal principles, but also human feelings."
"How can we stop a witness from explaining the doubts in this case and exonerating his lover?"
"Although his words may not be perfect, his intentions are clear, aren't they?"
The middle-aged presiding judge, who was about to speak, was immediately silenced by Gu Meimen. He coughed twice and nodded.
"In that case, it seems that this court has no reason to stop the questioning stage."
This is a hypothetical false plot, and I would like to raise an objection. If it was the first or second trial, Prosecutor Sugiura would definitely shout this out loud.
But this was the third trial, so Prosecutor Sugiura, who had already given up, did not intend to make any comments.
The pace now falls completely into the hands of Gu Meimen and Xiang Yuanguang, and his objections will be of no use.
These two are indeed legendary lawyers who made headlines in the newspapers at the same time, and it is really difficult to deal with them when they join forces.
"Let's get back to the point, Mr. Shimazu Sae. Have you ever thought about marrying Ms. Asakura Mirei?"
"But you were interrupted by your own father? Oh, this is also one of the reasons why you committed the crime, right?"
Gu Meimen said with a grin.
Shimazu Sae nodded hurriedly.
Seeing this scene, Asakura Miling couldn't help but feel cold in her heart. All the questions the two lawyers asked were based on her words.
She was called to the court, but no questions were directed to her...why on earth was that?
Chapter 137 Reversal of Illumination (29)
"Ah, indeed... that is indeed the case."
Shimazu Sae heard what Kumimon said and nodded repeatedly.
"My father prevented me from pursuing love... and if my father died, I would get a lot of money."
"Then I can pin the blame on Sanyuan Shunji, and I can inherit the company without any effort."
"This way, no one will hinder me from pursuing love, and I can marry Meiling!"
"Oh, so that's how it is. What a perfect reason for murder."
Kumimon smiled and nodded.
"In other words, even Asakura Mirei knows this."
At the defense table, the hedgehog-haired lawyer stroked his chin and spoke thoughtfully.
"So it's reasonable for Asakura Mirei to kill President Shimazu and modify the surveillance records to put the blame on Sanyuan Shunji."
"If Sanyuan Shunji is found out and is not the real murderer, then the blame will be put on Mr. Shimazu."
"This way, even if I kill someone, I won't get the money, but at least I won't be caught killing someone."
"Yeah, that's a perfect solution."
At this point, Mr. Maori at the defense table finally realized that something was wrong.
Why every point and every reason that Shimazu Sae said.
They can all perfectly match up with Asakura Mirei? It's just that there is no relevant evidence...
(What is Xiang Yuan kid up to? Is this one of his tactics?)
(However, if the murder weapon was really disposed of by Asakura Mirei, how should the crime be convicted?)
Uncle Maori frowned as he looked at the situation in the courtroom.
The exceptionally beautiful girl seemed to have not yet noticed that the trap had been formed.
This might be what it means to be in a situation without knowing it... Although he probably even his daughter beside him noticed that something was wrong.
"How could this be possible? Meiling is definitely not with me just for money!"
"The love between us is extremely pure!"
"Anyway, Meiling wouldn't kill anyone, and you don't have any evidence to prove it, right?"
"Whether it's surveillance records, eyewitnesses, or the murder weapon!"
Shimazu Sae said loudly.
"Can you find the murder weapon? Humph, even if you do, there will only be my fingerprints on it!"
"Because I was the one who killed the person, and you can't find the murder weapon that I destroyed!"
Asakura Mirei, who was a little nervous, felt a little relieved at this time.
The surveillance records will not be retained for more than two days, and she cannot be found through the surveillance records.
Moreover, the murder weapon and other items have been completely destroyed, and there is no way to extract fingerprints.
In a court of law, evidence is everything. Reasoning without evidence is just empty talk...
"You said [murder weapon], right?"
He gave Yuan Guang an unfathomable smile.
"The murder weapon was the bronze bust of President Shimazu himself, which you presented to him."
"This thing is easy to grab. It seems that there is only the base of the bust..."
The heart lock in the property panel is always in an activated state.
The hedgehog-haired lawyer kept his eyes on Asakura Mirei at the testimony stand.
Of the five red heart locks, three have already been opened.
So, now is the time to make a concerted effort, use psychological tactics, and directly defeat Asakura Mirei.
"Mr. Shimazu Sae, there should be [fingerprints] near the base of the statue that is easy to grasp."
"And, [Fingerprints] can only be the fingerprints of the [murderer], right?"
Spreading his hands towards Yuan Guang, he shook his head.
"You said that if there is a fingerprint, it can only be your fingerprint. What if it is Asakura Mirei's fingerprint?"
Shimazu Sae shook his head repeatedly.
"It's impossible. Have you found the murder weapon?"
Asakura Mirei's eyes suddenly became sharp. Could it be that the hypothesis she just proposed to Genkou... that the statue might have been picked up by someone?
Is it true? The reason why the defense is so calm here is to assume everything...
Is it really because they got the [murder weapon]?
"We found the [statue], a bronze bust of President Shimazu."
As Kumimon walked back to the defense table, he smiled.
"This thing is not as heavy as Mr. Shimazu said. Lawyer Xiang Yuan next to me can lift it with one hand."
"Now, how about I show it to you, Mr. Shimazu?"
In this case, the murder weapon, which the suspect had always emphasized had been destroyed, was actually found?
Even the middle-aged presiding judge widened his eyes. No wonder the defense arrived early this time.
