Chapter 13 The First Battle (End)
Author: Xia Erxue
"Obviously, the defendant has a certain motive for killing!"
Before the instruction could be fully demonstrated, Long Xu Zhengnan said impatiently.
He took out a stack of information from the folder prepared in advance on the table and presented it in front of everyone.
"This is eight years ago, there is information about the defendant's son Sakaguchi Masato, including photos, schools, school relationships, etc. Since Sakaguchi Masato has been bullied on campus for a long time, it was the person who bullied him in this case.
Victim! Therefore, this court has sufficient reason to suspect that the defendant committed the crime of intentional homicide by using instructions to train the dog..."
Long Xu Zhengnan said quickly, his expression getting more and more excited.
When Reiko Kujo in the auditorium saw this, she really shook her head.
I'm so impatient, this is the gap between the two students...
It is already difficult to win a lawsuit, so you have to at least wait until this indirect evidence is finalized before you can express your opinion on the motive of the murder? Otherwise, once the evidence is not implemented, won't it fall into the other party's mouth?
"protest!"
Sure enough, I saw a hand raised from Gu Meimen.
"Are the prosecutors only making groundless suspicions? When did our country's judicial institutions become like this? Are they occupied by incompetent tax thieves?"
Just then I heard Gu Meimen start to attack with his usual poisonous tongue.
"Where is justice and justice when you just casually frame a good person based on suspicion? The court must pay attention to evidence. If the prosecutor insists that my client is guilty, please come up with convincing evidence! At least it must be worthy of our national diplomacy.
Taxes, right? Don’t let people think you are a bunch of people who only eat but don’t do anything!”
After hearing these words, the judge and the adjudicator nodded repeatedly.
The judge knocked the gavel: "The protest is valid! Please ask the prosecutor to mobilize evidence as soon as possible!"
"..."
This merciless criticism made Long Xu Zhengnan's face turn black and he could not breathe.
As a student of the same class, he knew Gu Meimen well. This guy almost never used curse words when he cursed, and he always used various roundabout ways.
The key is, he always takes the lead. This makes people hateful and annoying.
"Okay, if you want evidence, you'll get it right away!"
Ryusu Masami gritted his teeth and said something, then fiercely grabbed Masayoshi Sakaguchi's big brother and pressed the answer button for him.
At the same time, turn on the play button of the recorder and let the "dong dong dong" bell sound come from inside.
After completing these two pre-commands, you will see the German Shepherd in the cage, its body arched even more, its teeth exposed, and it looks like it is ready to pounce.
Now let’s see how you die!
Tatsuzu Masami cursed fiercely in his heart and shouted to Masayoshi Sakaguchi: "Now, tell me your password immediately!"
Masayoshi Sakaguchi hesitated for a moment.
Finally we have reached the last step.
He took a deep breath and said to the German Shepherd in the cage: "John, how are you (元気か), how are you (元気か), John!"
Next, he waited for the German Shepherd dog's movements to meet the eyes of the people around him that were about to change.
However, something surprising happened.
"Has Haas, woof woof!"
I saw the German shepherd dog in the cage. It changed its behavior as if it was about to attack people. It put its two front paws on the iron bars of the cage, its tail waggled back and forth, and it made an almost flattering cry from its mouth.
.
He looks like he wants to come over and play with his master.
Is there any way of attacking or biting someone?
"How can it be!"
Seeing this scene, Long Xu Zhengnan cried out.
When the Metropolitan Police Department handed over the evidence dog to the prosecutor's office, he had clearly tried and tested it repeatedly, and it was exactly the same as Kogoro Mori's reasoning.
Why has it become like this now?
"Impossible! My reasoning is absolutely correct!"
Over in the auditorium, Conan couldn't help but stand up.
He suddenly thought of something, and his eyes suddenly looked in the direction of Gu Meimen. The confusion in his eyes disappeared in an instant, as if he understood everything.
“This has confirmed that the prosecutor’s statement is completely false!”
Gu Meimen's smiling voice came from the direction of the defendant.
"Now, all the evidence provided by the prosecutor is invalid. I don't need to say more about the situation of this case, right? Please ask the prosecutor to withdraw your prosecution and return our defendant's innocence!"
"No, this is impossible!"
Long Xu Zhengnan murmured to himself, as if he was lost in despair, as if he was still immersed in the failure just now.
This was his last piece of evidence. He thought he was sure of it, but what happened in the end was completely unexpected.
Suddenly, he stood up and stared at Gu Meimen's face.
"Since you said this was an unjust case, why don't you tell me how exactly Maehara Tsuyoshi died?"
"Do you really want to listen?"
Gu Meimen raised the corner of her mouth and looked around at everyone present.
"The defendant's attorney can state your opinion."
The judge banged his gavel.
The juror next to him also had curiosity in his eyes.
"Well, finding the prisoner is what the police should have done. Since this is not within the scope of this prosecution, the following opinions are purely my personal conjecture."
Gu Meimen smiled, walked leisurely in the court, and began to talk.
"Mr. Sakaguchi did make a phone call that night and asked Maehara Gang to come to the second floor to report that his dog John was safe. John was also very happy to talk to the owner, perhaps because he was too excited to learn the news about the owner.
John was overjoyed and wanted to play with Tsuyoshi Maehara, but due to poor control of his strength, he accidentally threw him down the stairs..."
After a pause, Gu Meimen came to a conclusion.
"So, this was a pure accident!"
After listening to Gu Meimen's words, the audience at the referee's seat and in the auditorium below all showed expressions of sudden realization.
If it was an accident, all this would indeed make sense.
"I don't believe it!" Long Xu Zhengnan shouted without giving up, "What evidence do you have that this was an accident? You don't have either!"
"So I say this is just a personal guess!"
Gu Meimen is still smiling.
"Although I really have no evidence, there is one fact that matches this conjecture!"
"What?"
"It's the photo of the corpse that the prosecutor just gave. Did I say that before?"
Gu Meimen's smile slowly changed, and the curvature of the corners of her eyes became like a sly smile.
"The victim was not 'bitten' to death by the dog, he was just 'pounced' down the stairs. The prosecutor should remember that, right? You admitted this fact."
"Think about it, if Mr. Sakaguchi really wanted to train a dog to kill, there should be bite marks on the body."
"Because a dog's attack alone is not likely to kill Tsuyoshi Maehara. For ordinary people who fall down the stairs from the second floor, they have a high chance of surviving, right?"
"..."
Long Xuzhengnan made a plop and fell down on the chair.
It turned out that Gu Meimen had set up a trap from the beginning and kept tempting him to jump into the pit.
He completely lost this lawsuit.
Chapter completed!
