After announcing a number of indictments, the chief judge called Yue Chong: "Next, please ask the prosecutor to state the facts of the crime." ”

Yue Chong stood up from his seat and walked into the courtroom, without reading and sketching the information in his hand like other prosecutors, he kept everything in his mind, and he could say it clearly and coherently at any time:" At 19:12 on December 27, 20XX, the victim Hayakawa Yuka contacted the defendant Kazuhiko Sato by phone to propose to break up, and the call record at that time was only 21 seconds, Kazuhiko Sato was silent for a period of time and asked the victim emotionally what the reason was, but the victim did not give a detailed answer and just said that they were not suitable and then hung up the phone. ”

"The defendant called the victim's mobile phone again but was denied answer, after which he did not make any further moves. Yue Zhong walked up to Kazuhiko Sato and said, "You were in your rental house at the time, and according to eyewitnesses, you left the rental house at 19:37 to go to the tavern downstairs to drink. ”

Kazuhiko Sato nodded silently, the facts that Yue Zhong said were irrefutable, and it didn't seem to be against him.

"At around half past 10 p.m., the defendant had an argument with someone in the tavern, the cause was just a couple secretly looking at you and whispering a discussion, then you kicked over the table and slashed the kitchen knife you brought out of the rental house on the table and scolded each other, scaring all the guests in the tavern away, and the police received a report and arrived at the scene when you were gone. ”

"When you reappeared, you were on XX Road, which is only one street away from the victim's apartment, and the surveillance showed that you had a telescope in your hand, were you observing the situation around the victim's apartment at that time?" Yue Zhong asked.

Haruo Kojima, who is a defense lawyer, immediately stood up and replied in place of Kazuhiko Sato: "Chief Judge, the prosecutor is obviously deliberately trying to lead my client to give an unfavorable answer, and I apply for an explanation for this. ”

The chief referee deliberated with the other judges and nodded, "Permission." ”

Yue Zhong turned around just in time to see the scene where the referee bowed his head and spoke, and generously stretched out his hand to signal Haruo Kojima to speak.

Haruo Kojima is not ambiguous, although he knows that the general trend on Yue Chong's side has been achieved, he still has to dutifully play his role: "The situation at that time was like this, my client unconsciously appeared around the apartment building where his ex-girlfriend lived because he was hit by a broken love and drunk, and he brought binoculars because he wanted to know if the other party had a new boyfriend, and he didn't mean anything else." ”

"Since the defendant did not observe the environment around the apartment and confirm where the blind spot of surveillance was, why did no surveillance record his whereabouts when he appeared at the victim's door in the early morning?" Yue Zhong returned to the prosecutor's seat, took out a picture from the data, held it in his hand and said loudly: " After professional analysis of his actions at the time, the defendant's use of the telescope was not a novice, and he seemed to be very good at using the telescope to observe the environment and determine the plan of action, which also involved some cases of the defendant in Kamihama City, of course, we will talk about this later. ”

"The surveillance around the apartment where the victim lived happened to be in a damaged state of repair. Kojima Haruo's heart jumped, he didn't expect Yue Zhong to make trouble in this regard.

"Is that so?" Yue Zhong really showed an unpredictable smile, and then said slowly, "The camera in the apartment is indeed partially damaged, but some of it is still working, and the area covered occupies two-thirds of the area around the apartment building, and the only way to enter the apartment building smoothly without being photographed is only one, and there are also two flower bushes and a ditch, is it a coincidence that the defendant took this road exclusively?"

Haruo Kojima opened his mouth and was about to explain, but Yue Zhong preemptively said, "Until then...... I conducted an investigation at Yuka Hayakawa's house, and she was not in the habit of taking a man home, and there was no sign of a second person living in the house, and I have submitted this evidence to the Physical Evidence Center and made a proof, so I think the defendant did not know where the victim lived before, and how did he find it?"

"Chief Judge, this is just the prosecutor's speculation. Haruko Kojima immediately turned his head to appeal to the referee.

"The appeal is valid. The referee said succinctly.

Yue Zhong waved his hand indifferently and continued: "I have checked with the victim's five ex-boyfriends, and none of them know where Hayakawa Yuka lives, is Kazuhiko Sato an exception?"

The jury also discussed it one after another, and what Yue Zhong said was all speculation based on the most reasonable angle or directly the facts, and they did not accept Haruo Kojima's arguments, because those things seemed very pale.

Yue Zhong knew very well that if the scene of the crime began to deduce that Haru Kojima must have a lot of evidence to refute himself, so he determined Kazuhiko Sato's motive for the crime through the details before the crime, and the non-professional jury itself had sympathy for the victim, and the current situation unsurprisingly fell to his side.

Haruo Kojima's ears moved, he clearly heard the whispers of the jury, and knew that if he let Yue Zhong guide the rhythm, he would lose even the ability to resist, so he took the initiative to say: "Chief Judge, I think it is more important to have a detailed discussion on the moment when the case happened, the prosecutor is deliberately misleading the jury's thinking direction." ”

"The complaint is valid and the prosecutor requests a detailed statement of the case itself. ”

The referee's solemn and unwavering voice did not surprise Yue Chong, if he was not sure enough, he would not choose to stand in the court with Haruo Kojima.

"According to the autopsy report, the time of death was around 2:30 a.m., the fatal wound was a knife that severed the major artery and throat in the neck, and the rest of the wounds were after the fatal injury, which was obviously an act of the defendant to vent his anger. Yue Zhong saw that Haru Kojima had regained his composure, and he laughed, "The defendant brought a kitchen knife with him after leaving the house last night, and appeared at the door of the victim's house after making full preparations, and when the victim opened the door, he was fatally stabbed, and the surrounding neighbors did not hear any quarrels, and the victim was unable to escape and struggle and fell directly at the door of the house, and the whole process took less than half a minute." ”

Yue Zhong only talked about the case itself and did not mention the details found by the accompanying lawyer, naturally he wanted to lure Kojima Haruo to speak, and sure enough, when he came to the field he was familiar with, Kojima Haruo confidently began his defense: "Judges, jury, the situation at that time was not as the prosecutor said, the prosecutor's determination of the time was only based on the autopsy report and the feedback of neighbors, but there were no residents in the vicinity of Hayakawa Yuka, and the nearest one was a waiter at a bar who lived on the fifth floor, and he did not go home at that time." ”

"My client didn't mean to kill Yuka Hayakawa as soon as they met, they had an argument with each other, and Yuka Hayakawa's words were the biggest motive for my client to kill the other party. ”
