"I know." Sakihara Megumi nodded, "It's just that I'm worried that Prosecutor Kujo has never experienced something. Maybe you won't understand it when I say it, and instead you will question me for lying."
"..." Kujo Reiko gritted her teeth and looked at Kensuke. Needless to say, this must have been taught by the latter, "Tell me about it."
"If the prosecutor insists." Sakihara Megumi brushed the hair beside her ear and talked about the past with her sister very calmly.
"My sister Kuan Mei and I grew up together. She has always liked to snatch my things since she was a child, but because I am the older sister, I have always let her..."
The two sisters, Megumi Sakihara and Hiromi Tanaka, are roughly the story of a gentle and good-tempered sister and a jealous sister who likes to fight.
However, in Sakihara Megumi's narrative, she did not describe her sister as being so hateful, but more of a feeling of helplessness in the face of her naughty sister, and her sadness after learning that her sister wanted to kill him.
"So you and your sister have been grudges for a long time?" Kujo Reiko immediately grasped this point.
Sakihara Megumi shook her head, "So Prosecutor Kujo can't understand that no matter how deep the relationship between sisters is, they will inevitably compete for things and their parents' attention.
These things are normal in a family with multiple children. How can one develop hatred for the sister they grew up with and even want to kill her? At most, she is just angry and bored.
But I have to say, I actually feel that Kuan Mei is very pitiful because she always stares at me in everything she does and thinks about comparing herself to me, without any idea of her own life or thoughts."
"..."
Kujo Reiko really didn't expect to be able to explain it like this, but she had nothing to refute. Do you question her generosity?
And needless to say, later on, the lawyer Gu Meimen will definitely use various examples of sisters' disputes to weaken Sakihara Megumi's murder motive.
"As for boyfriends, it's actually a good thing that those men were easily snatched away by Kanmei. At least it allowed me to see clearly as early as possible that they were not worthy of lifelong partners." Megumi Sakihara said with a natural expression.
Kujo Reiko looked a little ugly, but this was just the beginning and there would be opportunities later.
In the auditorium, Shizuo Komemon glanced at the leisurely Kensuke. He had taught people to be like this in just a few days. It was really quite confusing.
Is it because I didn't come forward and let the defendant say this to better attack the Maori detective? Look what happened to the students you taught in my hands?
...seems a bit evil.
It was Kensuke's turn to speak, and he started acting like a monster again. After getting up and walking around the center of the court, he looked at Reiko Kujo and said with a playful smile on his face:
"It seems that Prosecutor Kujo needs more life experience, otherwise his understanding of some things will often be too superficial and easily make people laugh.
I am in my thirties and have never been in love, which is really pitiful."
"Gu Meimen..." Reiko Kujo's face turned blue and she stood up suddenly.
The judge knocked the hammer helplessly and said, "Please keep the defendant's lawyer serious and don't talk about irrelevant topics."
"Understood." Kensuke replied, but his face was winking at Kujo Reiko with unspeakable sarcasm.
"My client has made his statement very clearly in terms of motivation. There is no doubt that the prosecutor, due to his lack of life experience, subconsciously replaced my client's thoughts with his own.
He deliberately exaggerated the small conflict between Sakihara-san and his sister, and distorted my client’s thoughts. I will not elaborate on this..."
Kujo Reiko quickly raised her hand, "Objection!"
"Objection valid."
The judge knocked the hammer again, but although he acknowledged Kujo Reiko's objection, he actually agreed with Kensuke's statement.
Kensuke shrugged, it didn't matter, he did it often anyway, he would dare to do it next time.
“I noticed that the three pieces of evidence the prosecutor presented against my client this time—the portrait, the reversing level, and the listening equipment—were all circumstantial evidence.
Since it is indirect evidence, it must form a proof system that is sufficient to exclude all other possibilities, and the conclusion drawn must be unique.
May I ask the prosecutor, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Kujo Reiko replied solemnly: "No problem."
"Okay, then the proof system formed by indirect evidence must answer all reasonable doubts.
And use sufficient reasons to deny all other possibilities raised by us, is there any problem?" Yansuke asked with a smile.
Kujo Reiko pursed her lips tightly and was silent for a moment before replying: "No problem."
"Let's talk about the profiling issue first. According to the materials provided by the prosecutor, my client was questioned by the Metropolitan Police Department on criminal matters in the ward after the explosion.
And guided by the police, I remembered the suspicious person I had seen in the supermarket recently, so I described it to the police officer in charge of drawing the portrait."
Yansuke paused for a moment, and seeing that no one objected to his statement, he continued:
"The prosecutor used the portrait as evidence to suspect my client because the Takahashi Hiromasa she saw in the supermarket was wearing sunglasses, but there were no sunglasses in the portrait.
When Hiromasa Takahashi placed a bomb on my client's car, he once took off his sunglasses.
This proves that my client knew there was a bomb in the car and deliberately let his sister sit in the car, causing her death on the spot."
Kensuke walked up to Kujo Reiko and said, "There are too many problems here. For example, Takahashi Hiromasa always wears sunglasses in the supermarket and never takes them off?
I don’t know if the prosecutors have access to the supermarket’s surveillance cameras, but I did check them out anyway.
The surveillance of the supermarket that day did not record Takahashi Hongchang from beginning to end. During this period, Takahashi Hongchang left the surveillance field of view many times.
I don’t know how the prosecutors did their job, with such an obvious loophole... haha.
Also, is it completely impossible to see eyes from the side of sunglasses? Wait, wait..."
Kujo Reiko was about to open her mouth to refute, but Kensuke reached out to stop her, "No need to refute, I don't plan to argue too much with you on such detailed issues.
I take it seriously as you said, Takahashi Hiromasa never took off his sunglasses in the supermarket and only said one word."
Although he clearly had the upper hand, he took the initiative to admit the prosecution's evidence, which aroused everyone's curiosity.
Mao Lilan in the audience couldn't help but tug at Fei Miles' sleeve, "Mom, do you know what he is going to say?"
"Brain injury may lead to confusion in the confession and cannot be used as the only basis for sentencing."
"When frightened, the effectiveness of a confession is reduced."
Komemon Shizuo and Feili said almost at the same time.
Sure enough, the next second, Kensuke on the stage walked up to Sakihara Megumi, pointed to the bandage on her head and said:
"On the day of the incident, my client was affected by a car explosion, injured his head, and was severely frightened..."
