Thursday, January 17, afternoon, Kasumigaseki, Tokyo District Court.

Seeing Lan's disillusionment because she couldn't contact Maoli, Fei Yingli smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, until the last moment, it is not known who will kill the deer." ”

Lan asked worriedly, "Really?"

Fei Yingli said with a smile: "Of course, just drag it out slowly, a lawsuit like this without ironclad evidence is easy to reach the Supreme Court, and it is common to grind for more than ten years." ”

Secretary Kuriyama couldn't help but say, "But, teacher, if that's the case, your reputation ......"

Fei Yingli smiled: "It's okay, you can take it back when the time comes." ”

At this time, someone knocked on the door to inform that the time for the court was almost up. ……

The Inquisition.

The trial of Tsuyoshi Hirasawa's killing of Tsuyoshi Usami continued, with established witnesses for the prosecution and the defense coming out one after another, and the prosecution presenting new witnesses.

Prosecutor Kujo looked at Lawyer Concubine from the air, and said with a smug smile: "This witness is Detective Mori Kogoro." ”

Lawyer Concubine and Secretary Kuriyama were taken aback, and Secretary Kuriyama asked Lawyer Concubine, "Teacher, do you know about this?"

"I don't know," Lawyer Fei said angrily, "this hateful fellow. ”

Secretary Kuriyama asked, "So, should we first ask the court to adjourn the trial and postpone the retrial?"

Lawyer Fei thought for a moment, "No, let's see what he says first." ”

At this time, the presiding judge asked the defense for his opinion, and lawyer Concubine got up and replied that he had no opinion. ……

On the other side, Lan Wuren was also taken aback, and Lan complained a little angrily: "Really, how can Dad, be like this." ”

The garden asked, "Don't you know that either?"

"Dad never said that. Lan said, then asked Conan, "Conan, do you know?"

"I don't know, Sister Lan. Conan said.

Mei Daiko said, "Okay, I think it's the same for anyone to be a witness, just tell the truth." ”

"Yes, yes," said Yuanzi, "even if the uncle is a witness over there, he can help us here." ”

At this point, the procedure was completed, Maori was summoned to the venue, and after going through the procedure again, the questioning began.

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Mr. Mori, do you know the defendant, Mr. Shinji Usami?"

Maori said: "Yes. ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "How long have you known each other?"

Maori said, "About two months. ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Mr. Mori, do you know the victim, Mr. Tsuyoshi Hirasawa?"

Maori said: "Yes. ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "How long have you known each other?"

Maori said: "It's probably two months. ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Excuse me, have you ever had a drink with them?"

"Not really," Maori said. ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Then have you seen them drunk?"

Maori said: "Yes. ”

The Kujo prosecutor asked, "How many times?"

"Well," Maori said after a moment's thought, "three or four times." ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "So, when did you see them getting drunk?"

"Time period?" asked Maori.

"I mean, when they arrive at an izakaya, they usually drink for a few hours and get drunk," said the Kujo prosecutor. ”

"Well," Maori said after a moment's thought, "an hour or two." ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Excuse me, did you go to Miki izakaya on the night of the crime?"

Maori said, "Yes. ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Excuse me, did you see the defendant and the victim at the Mitsuki izakaya that night?"

Maori said, "I see."

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "So, at half past eight o'clock that night, do you think they were drunk?"

"Objections, the prosecution is confusing the facts. Lawyer Fei said, "Whether the defendant and the victim were drunk at half past eight that night is not something that others can judge. ”

"The opposition is valid. "Witnesses don't have to answer this question. Then he said to the prosecutor of Kujo, "The prosecution should pay attention to the words. ”

"Yes, Presiding Judge. Prosecutor Kujo said, then asked Mori, "Mr. Mori, have you ever been to the dark alley behind Miki Izakaya?"

"Uh," Maori said after a moment's hesitation, "I've been." ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Where and what are you doing?"

Maori said a little embarrassed, "Because of the lack of toilets, sometimes I drink too much and go there to vomit." ”

Prosecutor Kujo said: "Mr. Mori, the defendant said that he and the victim had a quarrel somewhere that night, but I can't remember exactly where, and some witnesses said that at about half past eight in the evening, the defendant and the victim left the Bishu izakaya one after another, and then heard someone arguing in the dark alley behind the Mishu izakaya, which was vaguely the voice of the defendant and the victim. So can it be inferred that the defendant and the victim were actually quarreling at that time, and they drank too much and went to the dark alley behind the Miki izakaya to vomit, and after they met, they quarreled. Then he asked Maori, "Mr. Maori, do you think this inference is correct?"

"Objections, the prosecution is speculating. Lawyer Fei said.

Prosecutor Kujo argued: "Presiding judge, I'm just saying that there is a possibility that Mr. Mori, who is a famous detective, will use his detective talents to help identify it." ”

The presiding judge thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Maori, you can decide for yourself whether to answer or not. ”

"In my detective's speculation, I think so. Maori smiled happily, "It was the two of them who were arguing. Seeing that a bruise appeared on the head of the concubine's lawyer, the prosecutor of Kujo held back a smile and continued to ask Maori: "Mr. Maori, when was the last time you saw the defendant on the night of the crime?"

"The last time I saw the defendant was at half past eight in the evening," Maori said. ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "So, when was the last time you saw the victim on the night of the crime?"

"The last time I saw the victim was at half past nine that night," Maori said. ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Is it possible to say that after the defendant and the victim left the Biki izakaya at about half past eight in the evening, the victim returned to the Biki izakaya and continued to drink?"

Maori said, "Yes. ”

The Kujo prosecutor asked, "Mr. Maori, here are three personal questions that you can leave out if you don't want to answer." ”

Maori said, "Okay, you can ask." ”

"Mr. Mori, my first personal question I would like to ask you is, what do you usually do when you are drunk?"

"Well," Maori said after a moment's thought, "just lie there for a while, and then go home when she is sober up and can go back." ”

"In other words, you can't move when you're drunk, and you can only go home when you're not drunk, and you're conscious at this time because you know the way home, isn't that right?"

Maori thought for a moment and said, "Let's just say that. ”

Prosecutor Kujo said, "Please answer clearly, yes or no. ”

"Well," Maori said after a moment's thought, "yes." ”

"The second personal question I would like to ask you is, did you leave in a delirious state after you were drunk and woke up from a nap on your stomach?"

"Yes. Maori said.

"The third personal question I would like to ask you is, did you ever get into a fight with someone when you were drunk and delirious?"

"Uh," Maori scratched his face embarrassedly, "yes." ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Then you didn't know you were fighting until you woke up, isn't that so?"

"Of course," Maori said. ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "So, did you see your opponent at that time?"

Maori said, "I see." ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Then how many times do you think you hit your opponent while you were drunk?"

"Well," Mori said after a moment's thought, "there's a lot of it." ”

The prosecutor asked, "Please be specific, more than 20 strokes, is there any?"

Maori nodded and said, "There must be." ”

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "So, are your opponent's injuries concentrated in one place, or are they all over the body?"

"It's all over the body," Maori said. ”

"Thank you. "Presiding judge, jurors, the cause of the victim's death was a fatal blow to the back of the head, and there were no injuries anywhere else in the body, which means that the defendant consciously hit the victim from behind and was not drunk as stated in the confession. ”

"According to previous witnesses, since the opening of the Biyu Izakaya, the defendant only drank alcohol at the Miyu izakaya in order to take care of his ex-wife's business, and according to the results of the police investigation, no one from other restaurants in the Kaito Town Huanyu Street had seen the defendant during the period of about an hour from 8:30 p.m. to the time of the crime, so I deduce that after the defendant had quarreled with the victim at about 8:30 p.m. that night, he fell drunk in a no-man's place, and about an hour later, the defendant woke up and found the drunk victim, so he attacked and killed him from behind。 ”

"That's all I have to say, thank you. ”

After that, when the concubine lawyer came on the court, Mao Li immediately felt the cold hairs all over his body stand up, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Lawyer Fei said, "Mr. Maori. ”

"Yes, yes. Maori replied with a weak heart.

Lawyer Fei said: "I only have one question, do you think it is possible that someone who understands the grievances between my client and the victim, after picking up the defendant's bicycle key, went to kill the victim and threw my client's bicycle key at the scene to blame my client." ”

"As a detective, please use your wisdom to examine my hypothesis. ”

Maori's sweat came down, "Yes, yes, it's entirely possible." ”

Lawyer Fei said: "My words are finished. ”

After that, the court was adjourned again, and as soon as the chief judge and the others left, Lan directly arrested Maori and took Maori to Concubine Yingli's lounge to ask for guilt.

On the afternoon of the day when he left the note, prosecutor Kujo called Maori to invite him to dinner, and Maori was happy to eat and agreed to be a witness in one bite.

Lan asked, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

Maori said weakly: "You didn't ask, what is there to say." ”

"You're still reasonable. Lan shouted, "What's the deal with the mobile phone, and why is it turned off?"

"Ah, that has nothing to do with me. Maori hurriedly took out his mobile phone and handed it in, "This thing seems to be broken, it always shows no power recently, and then it automatically shuts down." ”

Lan pressed the power button and found that it really couldn't be opened, "Okay, I believe you this time." ”

The garden gloated and said, "Wait, maybe the uncle broke it himself." ”

"How is that possible," exclaimed Maori, "this thing is going to cost a lot of money." ”

"I believe uncle. Mei Daiko smiled, "Uncle came to Miki izakaya to save money." ”

"How much will you save?" asked the garden.

"After deducting the train fare," said Mei Daiko with a smile, "it's more than 100 yen." ”

"Alright, stop making a fuss. Fei Yingli shook her head and smiled, and then asked Maori, "What do you think of this incident, what do you think of this detective?"

"If you can't postpone the retrial, you'll lose the first instance," Maori said. ”

Fei Yingli said: "I know, I'm not talking about the lawsuit, I'm talking about this murder." ”

Mori said, "According to my investigation, it is true that no one saw Shinji Usami on the night of the crime after he left the Miki izakaya. ”

"You went to investigate?" Fei Yingli was a little moved.

"No, I just had a casual chat with those people while I was drinking. Maori was a little embarrassed, and continued, "So far, the police have not found any clues that can prove the existence of another murderer, and your lawsuit is very troublesome." ”

Fei Yingli smiled: "No matter how troublesome it is, you have to continue." ”

Maori asked, "So, what are you going to do next?"

Fei Yingli sighed: "What other way can I ask for a postponement of the retrial on the grounds that the witness has not arrived, and then try my luck to see if I can find new clues." ”

Maori asked, "Who are you talking about, can you do it?"

Fei Yingli smiled: "The proprietress of Miki Izakaya, Kameyama Masako. ”

"She's important. Maori asked, "But speaking of which, both of you invited her, right?"

Fei Yingli said: "Yes, but she said that she didn't want to think about the sad things she had done before, and she couldn't insist on it, so we couldn't force it." But now it's time to use her as an excuse to delay the war. ”

At this time, someone knocked on the door to inform that the time for the court was almost up. ……

After that, Fei Yingli successfully postponed the retrial of the case, but prosecutor Kujo asked her to move the presiding judge on the grounds that Masako Kameyama lived in Tokyo, so she only postponed it to next Thursday, that is, only seven days to find new clues. ……
