"Virgil, you speak as if you can see into other people's minds, but that is impossible. People cannot understand each other."
Prosecutor Dante finally interrupted at this moment, his gaze lingering on Tsujimura Kimie's face. As an excellent prosecutor who had some knowledge of criminal psychology, he could see that Tsujimura Kimie's heart had been shaken.
However, this case should not be closed on the first day of trial, so he now has to find Xiang Yuanguang's flaws. No, maybe it’s not about finding flaws, just putting some pressure on him will be enough.
"If you really think that Tsujimura Kimie is guilty, then don't just keep talking. I mean, Virgil, if you think that Tsujimura Kimie is guilty, you have to produce the evidence yourself."
"As a renowned lawyer, don't you even understand this little bit of courtroom rule?"
The prosecutor's words also brought the blond presiding judge back to his senses. He nodded seriously, then lowered the gavel, asking the audience to be quiet, and then began to ask questions.
"What Prosecutor Dante said is correct, Attorney Xiang Yuan, if you believe that Tsujimura Kimie is the real murderer in this case, then you must produce evidence that can prove Tsujimura Kimie's guilt." "Unilaterally exerting psychological pressure on Tsujimura Kimie, trying to make Tsujimura Kimie confess to the crime to end this trial... is actually not advisable, because if there is insufficient evidence, the result will be reversed as long as the appeal is made."
"This court would like to confirm once again, Attorney Mugen, are you now going to claim that Tsujimura Kimie is the murderer in this case, and are you able to prove this claim?"
Tsk, if I fail to prove my point this time, the presiding judge’s impression of me will probably drop significantly.
However, even if the score declined significantly, there should be at least two opportunities to prove that Tsujimura Kimie was guilty.
Xiang Yuanguang said nothing, just quietly looked at Tsujimura Kimie, whose expression had become somewhat ferocious, and then his eyes swept over the other people in the Tsujimura family - for example, Tsujimura Toshimitsu, whose expression was indescribable and complex, and Tsujimura Takayoshi, who was sitting on a chair, doubting his life and thinking about what was going on.
(No matter what you say on the surface or what you think in your heart, it doesn’t matter. The evidence proving Tsujimura Kimie’s guilt is indeed in my hands. However, the authenticity of this evidence still needs to be verified...)
The blue hedgehog touched his chin, thought for a moment, and subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table of the defense bench. Then there was a loud bang - the wooden table of the defense bench collapsed under the weight.
It turned out that the wooden table was already unable to hold up under Xiang Yuanguang's fierce bombardment. Now Xiang Yuanguang's light knock became the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing the table to collapse immediately.
"..."
Xiang Yuanguang's thoughts suddenly stopped. He looked down at the collapsed table in the defense seat, then looked up at the blond presiding judge in the main seat. He saw that the presiding judge looked quite helpless.
"It's okay, Lawyer Xiang Yuan, you go ahead and talk first. We can talk about the table after the trial is over."
The blond judge said helplessly, as if he was mentally prepared for this.
Xiang Yuanguang coughed twice, leaned over and pulled out a piece of information from the folder, then pointed at the auntie who was showing off her facial expressions behind the testimony desk.
"The evidence that proves that Tsujimura Kimie is the real murderer is right here!"
Present——————evidence [information of the Dongcheng Clan’s Jinshan Group].
When seeing this document, the audience behind the defense seat had no reaction, but the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department behind the prosecutor's seat had already frowned and a bit of anger appeared on their faces.
This information doesn't even need to be proven true or false, because the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department know very well that the gangsters of the Tojo Clan really do engage in this kind of business, such as selling cyanide!
A senior member of the Metropolitan Police Department slammed the table, stood up, and spoke angrily.
"Tojo Clan, it's Tojo Clan again! We originally said that Tojo Clan's sphere of influence in Tokyo was limited to Kamurocho and that we didn't need to worry too much about it, but we didn't expect that they would cause such a big mess today!"
"The illegal gangs must be cracked down at all times! We have to crack down on them! If they dare to sell poison to diplomats and kill the action team from the United States today, they will dare to kill other high-ranking officials tomorrow! Therefore, the East City Association must be cracked down on!"
"The days without the East City Society are good days!"
Chapter 430: Reversed Mask (18)
Ignoring the Metropolitan Police Department high-ranking officials who were shouting at him from behind, Dante casually said that he had given a reason for the adjournment that Genkou could not refute.
"Even if you say so, the authenticity of this evidence still needs further investigation. One person's opinion alone cannot determine the final truth of this case."
"So, I think... we should adjourn this case for one day and let the prosecutors and the defense further confirm the relevant information about the Dongcheng Clan. What do you think? Presiding Judge?"
(What is Dante's purpose? To delay time? Why delay time? What is he thinking? What does he want to do? This situation is a bit troublesome...)
(If you want to prove that it was Kimie Tsujimura who committed the murder, the best way is to prove that the bottle of cyanide found in Tsujimura's home was purchased by Kimie Tsujimura, but if the prosecutor is determined to delay it for another day.)
(As of now, I don’t have any other way to make this guy change his mind. I can’t have a fistfight in the courtroom to decide whether this evidence needs to be verified or not.)
Xiang Yuanguang tapped his forehead lightly with his finger. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and slapped the table. Although he missed, it did not affect his aggressive flying finger attack.
"Regarding the matter of the East City Society, the defense needs to provide additional information."
After thinking about it, the presiding judge, who had already planned to make the decision to adjourn the court according to Prosecutor Dante's idea, turned around and looked at Xiang Yuanguang with some confusion, wondering what kind of additional information the blue hedgehog would provide in this situation.
It can't be possible that they have found a second method of killing people for Kimie Tsujimura, right?
If he didn't find a second method of killing, he would have no way of verifying the authenticity of the information in his hands.
Well, at this point in time, no matter what kind of additional information is given to Genkou, it is impossible for Tsujimura Kimie to be found guilty today.
"This morning, I, the defense attorney in this case, was attacked by members of the Dongcheng Society's affiliated organization. There were more than fifteen of them, right in front of my office. They specifically asked to kill me."
"Moreover, I learned from the leader of those who attacked me that someone paid them to kill me. Your Honor, I believe that the relationship between the East City Clan and this case may be more than just providing cyanide."
"Otherwise, how could they come to kill me just in time for the morning of the trial?"
Xiang Yuanguang's words immediately made everyone in the courtroom excited again.
This is exactly what the senior Metropolitan Police Department official said before.
As soon as Xiang Yuanguang got the information that might threaten the East City Society and was about to use it in the court, he was immediately blocked at the door of the office by the people of the East City Society who tried to kill him. How lawless is this? !
Illegal gangs must be attacked at any time! We have to fight against them! If they dare to sell poison to diplomats and kill the action team from the United States today, they will dare to kill other high-ranking officials tomorrow! Therefore, the East City Society must be attacked!
Hearing this, Dante looked at Xiang Yuanguang with some confusion, but in the end he didn't say much. He just looked very confused, and no one knew what he was confused about.
The presiding judge was no longer surprised by this. He had read the investigation records when Xiang Yuanguang killed those thugs on Yueying Island. Beating up a dozen members of the Yakuza was nothing.
However, the people from the Dongcheng Society are so arrogant, it seems that they really do not take this diplomatic incident seriously. To deal with these villains, we must use heavy blows!
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Lowering the gavel, the presiding judge of the First Court spoke solemnly.
"After this adjournment, please ask the prosecutors to immediately investigate the relevant matters of the Dongcheng Society and confirm whether the attack on lawyer Xiang Yuan by the Dongcheng Society this morning is related to this case and confirm the authenticity of the evidence presented by lawyer Xiang Yuan."
"After this recess, please pay attention to your own safety. If necessary, you can apply for asylum and protection from the police. If you want to continue investigating the case, please put your own safety first!" "Bailiff, please temporarily detain the witness Tsujimura Kimie as a criminal suspect and wait for the trial at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Please take the defendant Tsujimura Toshimitsu out of this court and send him back to the detention center to wait for the trial the next day."
"Now, this court declares that the case of the murder in the diplomatic embassy is temporarily adjourned!"
Looking at the backs of the bailiff taking Tsujimura Toshimitsu and Tsujimura Kimie away, Genmitsu touched his chin. He always felt that something seemed to be wrong with this case, but he couldn't tell what it was for a moment.
Uncle Maori next to him suddenly patted Xiang Yuanguang on the shoulder with a serious look on his face.
...?
When I put a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.
The death rate and crime rate in Beika-cho are so high. How can Kamuro-cho be as chaotic as Beika-cho? If it is really more serious than Beika-cho, then I was right to encourage the police to find the Tojo Clan today.
Xiang Yuanguang was secretly complaining in his heart. On the surface, he seemed to have learned a lesson, but in reality, he didn't take it to heart at all. He was thinking about where to start the next investigation.
However, before Xiang Yuanguang could think too much, Prosecutor Dante suddenly appeared beside them, as if he had teleported over, and his speed of movement was amazing.
"I say, Virgil, are you interested in going to Kamurocho with me? How about we see who can investigate faster? I bet, just like before, I'll always be faster!"
"That's not necessarily true. Now is now, and the past is the past. If you treat the present as the past, why don't you compare it with my infancy?"
The blue hedgehog sneered. Although he had no idea what "before" Dante was talking about, he could not lose in momentum. They had all emerged from a sea of fire and swords, and they could not lose face here!
Tick, tick, tick.
The sound of footsteps came from the corridor. Xiang Yuanguang subconsciously looked towards the corridor, but the door of the courtroom blocked his view and he could not see anything, so he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
(Why does this feel strangely familiar? Is there someone I don't see who is here to listen to the trial? Who could that person be...?)
At this moment, a shocking event was happening in Kamurocho, far away from Beikacho.
Looking at the leaders of various groups of the Tojo Clan who were not seen in the past but were all present today, the current Tojo Clan President Sera Masaru subconsciously wanted to sigh, feeling a headache over this matter.
Because the funds that Tojo Clan kept in the bank vault disappeared quietly, and the amount was... 10 billion yen!
Of course, if Sera Masaru knew that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the secret police were completely enraged by Beikacho's instigation of Minamoto Mitsuki and were going to crack down on the Tojo Clan, he probably wouldn't have such a headache.
Because there are too many things to do and there is no point worrying about it. This is no longer something that he, the leader of the Dongcheng Association who acts as a lubricant, can solve. He must contact his other helpers to help.

"So, it looks like Kamurocho is a place we must go to no matter what."
"Well, she and I went over to check it out this morning. It's no big deal."
"At most, it's a group of people who walk on the road for no apparent reason and start fighting whoever they bump into, and the passing police just ignore it, or a group of people are there asking for protection money or something like that."
Hattori Heiji said some confusing words that were surprising, but the famous detective from Kansai seemed to have no idea about it.
(…This situation is already quite serious, compared to Beika Town.)
The blue hedgehog frowned and finished the bowl of rice in his hand in a flash, then turned to look at Nanatsuki Koshimizu next to him, trying to get a different answer from the expired high school detective.
But unfortunately, Nanatsuki Koshimizu felt his gaze and nodded directly, indicating that it was indeed the case. The situation in Kamurocho was just as Hattori Heiji said.
He couldn't help but sigh, and said to Yuan Guang helplessly, holding his forehead.
"So, there are a lot of thugs in Kamurocho, and if they bump into someone on the road, they will just start fighting... Tsk, why does it sound like a Pokémon battle, as long as the eyes make contact, the fight will start..."
"However, we have to go now. We don't know where the so-called [Source of the Sai River] is. Hattori, Koshimizu, have you found the location of this place?"
