Chapter 22 The heart is to act
"Your Excellency, I request that witnesses be called. Asano was well prepared in advance, and of course he wouldn't leave much of a chance for the other party to react: "I ask to confront Officer Matsuda Jinpei, who is in charge of this case in the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Division. ”
"Yes. The judge agreed. After all, this kind of thing can't bypass the criminal police in charge of this case.
"Officer Matsuda, please tell us the details of what happened. Asano looked at Matsuda seriously and said. Is this the famous criminal? Then use him as a pedal to pave the way for my fame.
Although this is not what he wants, although this road is full of dangers, he can no longer turn back, because Smirno is a more dangerous existence than Matsuda. Because Matsuda lives in the system no matter what, he lives according to everyone's laws and morals, while Smirno is indeed extremely centered on himself, and he will only do it according to his own rules.
On the 7th of this month, Kikuto Morizono came to the Metropolitan Police Department to turn himself in, saying that he had killed their family's deacon Akio Shigematsu the night of the previous day, May 6. Matsuda was also looking at the young lawyer. Literary and intellectual, it's hard to believe that this man could be involved with Smirno: "And he came with a murder weapon and a shirt stained with the victim's blood." ”
"Very well, then allow me to ask a few questions, and you can answer yes or no. Asano smiled, "First question, is Officer Matsuda involved in the entire investigation of the murder of Mr. Akio Shigemomatsu?"
"Yes. Matsuda replied.
"So, did you find any direct evidence during the investigation to prove that Kikuto Morizono was the murderer?" Asano asked, "You just have to answer yes or no." ”
"Nope. Matsuda replied calmly, as if he didn't resist being led by Asano.
"Very well, then my last question is, Officer Matsuda, you have to answer truthfully, on the night of May 6th, did Mr. Heiji Hattori identify the murderer of Akio Shigematsu, and this person is not Mr. Kikuto?" Asano stared into Matsuda's eyes: "Yes, or no?"
By this time, all those in the know had their eyes on Matsuda. Pingji is, so is the chrysanthemum, and there are three people, including Morizono Kamio, Sakuraba Yuji and Katagiri Kaede. Of course, at this time, Maori Kogoro, Xiaolan and Conan are indispensable.
"Yes. Matsuda's voice was always steady, without a trace of fluctuation.
"Very good, thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Matsuda. Asano smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I'm done with my question." I believe that the fair and wise judge and the jury present have already calculated in their hearts. ”
Just when the jury was discussing and the three judges were communicating with each other, Matsuda, who was supposed to go down, suddenly had a hard time at this time.
"This Asano lawyer?" Matsuda smiled, "Can you answer me a question?"
"Oh, that's good, but only for reasonable questions. Asano restrained his smile.
"If you win this lawsuit this time, will you come to the Metropolitan Police Department or me again?" Matsuda asked bluntly.
"This kind of thing depends on what my client thinks. Asano glanced at his temporary assistant Smino: "If my client wishes, then I should work for him." "Smirno's operation was meant to hit you, how could you not do such a thing.
"Good, but you also have to understand one thing. Matsuda didn't seem to pay attention to Asano's small movements, and he didn't even glance at Smineo: "The day after we detained Yuji Sakuraba as a suspect, Kikuto Morizono came to the Metropolitan Police Department to turn himself in, with an important murder weapon and bloody clothes. Where exactly he found these two things, you'd better explain it to the judge first. Now that everything is inconclusive, you don't want to start preparing for the next lawsuit, being too active is sometimes not a good thing. ”
"Is that so?" Asano's face remained unchanged, although Kikuto was found to have a hard wound when he was in possession of the murder weapon: "The truth that my client told me was that he was misled by the young detective into believing that if the murder weapon was found, then Mr. Yuji Sakuraba as a suspect would definitely admit his guilt." ”
"However, my client didn't want to interact with the police because of his personality, so he braved the night rain to find the murder weapon and put it in Mr. Sakuraba's house. Asano said far-fetched reasons, but his tone was not far-fetched, as if someone else said that one plus one equals two: "But I didn't expect to be deceived and threatened by the young detective because of this." ”
"Deception and threats?" Matsuda said in a questioning tone.
"That's right. Asano said, "Although my client is ready to get married, he still maintains the child's innocence in some aspects, and has made a wrong judgment by being slightly misled by others, but fortunately there is still room for redemption in this matter." Officer Matsuda, I don't want to discuss this issue with you, but I would like to ask you to retract your prejudices. ”
"I can tell from the tone of your voice that you're leaning towards the young detective, but I hope you'll come up with hard evidence when you decide it's going to happen. If it's reasoning, I actually think that the first reasoning of the young detective, Mr. Yuji Sakuraba's modus operandi is more feasible. ”
Hey, hey, don't keep calling a young detective a young detective! As if I don't have a name, I'm a high school student in Kansai, Hattori Heiji!
"It's not up to us to say what the truth is. Matsuda ended the debate: "Evidence is still needed after all, isn't it? ”
"That's why I'm here. Asano once again stood firm. It's not that he has to engage in this kind of verbal battle with Matsuda, but that he has to maintain a state of grasping the truth at all times, and only in this way can he infect the jury and the judges.
When Asano returned to his seat and sat down, he said to Smirno, who was beside him, "How do you feel? ”
"Good. Smirno's voice was ethereal: "Who is she?"
Hmm? Asano was stunned, who is she? Following Smino's gaze, he saw the very heroic figure, and couldn't help but moan in his heart. Oh my God, didn't you want to catch Matsuda and chase after him? Now you're focusing all your attention on a woman?
Although he was very dissatisfied, Asano didn't dare to show it: "She is a very famous prosecutor, her name is Reiko Kujo, and she is 33 years old this year. By the way, it is said that she has a good relationship with Matsuda Jinpei. ”
"Really?" Smirno muttered without speaking, but at the same time he didn't look away.
This kind of undisguised gaze naturally couldn't hide Kujo, but she just frowned. She was very concerned about this verdict, so she endured the unhappiness in her heart until the court adjourned.
When the judge adjourned the trial, Kujo got up and left, not wanting to make contact with Smirno's burning gaze at all.
On the contrary, Matsuda sat on Conan's side, and when the court was adjourned, he was talking to them at the same time, and although he also noticed the anomaly of Kujo, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Miss Reiko, can I have a drink?" Smirno ignored Asano and Kikuto and moved towards Mikio Morizono, and took a few steps to catch up with Kujo.
Miss Reiko?Kujo's expression was even more displeased: "I'm sorry, I don't have time. Aren't you Egawa Asano's assistant? Is it okay not to be by his side at this time?"
"No, it's not fun to be around that kind of person. Smirno made no secret of his disgust: "I hate Kikuto Morizono and his rich father. ”
"Oh?" Kujo was surprised, and looked at Smirno in disbelief.
"If you think you have money, you can arbitrarily change the law, and this kind of person will not end well. Smirno said. That kind of father and son is to be purified existence, as long as people like them are still alive in this realm, then there will be no new world to come.
Kujou didn't know what was going on in his heart, and said a little surprised, "You don't look like Asano's assistant to be able to say such things." ”
"I'm not Asano's assistant. Smirno said casually: "I was just looking for a set of laws without any loopholes, but unfortunately what I saw was a tool that people used to compete for interests." There is no perfect legal code in this world, and my ideal is to turn it into reality. My dream is to create a code that no one can use but can only abide by, and there will be no more power struggles and conflicts of interest in this world. Everyone is an equal existence, equal status, without any favoritism, without any tendencies, and absolute can represent justice. ”
Yes, this is the code of the New Epoch. There are all disgusting things in this dirty world, and the root of those evils is the inequality of power, there will be no high-ranking officials and rich people in the perfect world, they are all the same status, the same birth, the same growth, no oppression, no contempt, from life to death are the same peace, there will be no people and things that make us hate.
Smirno's inner monologue wouldn't be heard by Kujo, of course, but she heard what Smirno called a flawless code. As a lawyer, she has an incomparable love for her profession, which makes her regard Smino as her own kind, and her favorability towards him continues to grow.
This increase in affection led to Kujo's interest in Smirno, saying, "I think we can sit down and talk." ”
PS: God, am I dazzled? There are more than 300 messages. It seems that the next off-duty will be looking for a long-lost passion.
