Chapter 91: Strategies for Defense
"Ah...... It's out!"
"Miss Akemi. How would you explain your suspicion of smuggling narcotics?"
"Are you also an addict?"
"Excuse me...... Why do you find drugs in your luggage?"
……
When Akemi slowly walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department with her head down, the reporters who had been waiting here for a long time immediately hugged her. Then he immediately blocked Akemi's path, and Akemi, escorted by Lin Xiuyi and others, slowly moved desperately forward from the gap in the crowd. Soon, a reporter aimed his question at Lin Xiuyi.
"Mr. Lin, how do you feel about your girlfriend's involvement in drug trafficking as a police officer......
"I'm sorry, I don't think what you're saying is true!"
"However, the police have found drugs in the luggage of your girlfriend, Miss Akemi, and her mother, do you still refuse to admit the facts?"
……
Seeing that they could get feedback on Lin Xiuyi's question, those reporters immediately rushed up and turned the spearhead to Lin Xiuyi, and as soon as Lin Xiuyi saw this formation, he hurriedly nervously protected Akemi in his arms, and then unceremoniously scolded these reporters and said:
"You guys, do you understand the law or not, the police are arresting criminal suspects, as for whether Akemi and Mrs. Isabel are really guilty, it must be finally established through the verdict of the court, why do you think that Akemi and her mother are involved in drug trafficking, even the Metropolitan Police Department can't be sure about this matter now!"
……
"Eh, can't the Metropolitan Police Department still determine Akemi's criminal behavior at Sonoji Temple......? Didn't she get dirty at the scene?"
"Like, is it because of what pressure you're exerting on this matter?"
"Yes, may I ask if you used your influence in the Metropolitan Police Department to obstruct other police officers from investigating this case!"
……
Seeing that his remarks were deliberately misinterpreted by those reporters, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little angry, but ...... She still kept her sanity, as she and Akemi got closer and closer to the car, Lin Xiuyi lowered his head and tried to protect Akemi and took a few steps forward, and then as soon as he opened the car door, he used his body to block the reporter behind him, letting Akemi sit in the car first.
"Ah...... You're okay Akemi-chan, why did something so big happen all of a sudden!"
Thank you for coming and picking me up**, I'm ...... I don't know why this is happening. At the time, I ...... I......
Seeing that Akemi suddenly left sad tears as she spoke, Takashima Sae naturally inconvenienced to continue to ask. And Lin Xiuyi sat quietly beside Mingmei, his brows locked and he didn't say a word. Seeing his expression, Takashima Sae couldn't help but ask with some worry:
"Mr. Lin, may I ask...... When will Lady Isabel return?"
"Uh...... I'm really sorry because I had a special relationship with Akemi, so I must recuse myself from this case in principle......! I don't know about Mrs. Isabel either. But...... This time, because the stolen goods were seized at the scene, Mrs. Isabel is likely to be prosecuted by the District Attorney's Office. And once brought to court, based on past experience, the chance of being found guilty is as high as 99.9%."
"What. Xiu-chan, you mean...... Mom will definitely be found guilty, why, we ...... We have been wronged!"
Hearing Lin Xiuyi's explanation. Mingmei couldn't help but ask Lin Xiuyi with some excitement.
"I'm sorry Akemi, but that's the reality of the Japanese justice system......! Now we had better prove Mrs. Isabel's innocence as soon as possible, otherwise, once this case is transferred to the District Attorney's Office, there will be almost no chance of a reversal in the future!"
"But...... Xiu-chan, you ...... Aren't you the best at investigating crimes? You must help my mother!"
Akemi heard Lin Xiuyi's analysis, and couldn't help but feel even more anxious, in fact, what Lin Xiuyi said, yesterday's lawyer also said the same, so Akemi knew that what Lin Xiuyi said just now was not alarmist.
"Xiu-chan, is there a ...... Is there anything I can do to help my mother...... She...... He's not going to do that, you ...... You're going to be mistaken!"
"I know, Akemi-chan, please give me some more time, I think...... I'm sure I'll find evidence to clear Miss Isabel's name, trust me!"
……
Almost at the same time that Hayashi Shuichi picked up Akemi from the Metropolitan Police Department, the Hirata office came forward to find a well-known Ben nurse for Mrs. Isabel, and Sada was openly explaining her current situation to the other party.
"You told me to confess, impossible, I haven't done anything, why should I confess!"
Seeing Mrs. Isabel standing up angrily and roaring, Nurse Sadaben shook her head a little aggrieved and helpless, and then said patiently to Ms. Isabel again:
"Ma'am, I think...... The first thing you should do is understand your situation. You know, you and those illegal anesthetics were caught by the airport security personnel on the spot! Moreover, the video at the scene shows you walking towards the security checkpoint with the suitcase, but there is no picture of you talking to the strange man you are talking about, do you know what this means? This means that none of what you said can be verified, and the man who accosted you will definitely be considered by the judge to be a fictitious character you made up in order to get away with it!"
"But there was such a person who gave me that suitcase!"
"That's like I proved that even your daughter was no longer with you at that time, how can you prove that what you said is absolutely true?"
……
When Isabel heard Lawyer Sada questioning her, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then cried helplessly. Since the incident, although Lady Isabel has recalled the events of that day over and over again, she still cannot sound the appearance of the man who asked her for an autograph!
……
"Let's get here today, Lady Isabel!"
Seeing that Mrs. Isabel was in a really bad state, Attorney Sata got up from his seat and saluted Mrs. Isabel, then gathered up his personal belongings and was reincarnated to leave the conference room.
"By the way, Mrs. Isapelle, I think there is one thing I still have to explain to you clearly, from the perspective of defense strategy, there is basically nothing to argue in this case at the level of guilt, and the only thing we can fight for is to distinguish it for you at the level of responsibility. So Mrs. Isabel, please consider my suggestion carefully, if you are willing to confess your guilt to the District Attorney's Office, the District Attorney's Office will also prosecute you with a lesser charge. ”
After saying these words. Attorney Satta left the reception room, and from that moment on, Akemi's mother was crying on the table with her forehead in pain.
