After Xingchen finished asking questions, it was the turn of lawyer Seiura to ask the witnesses, "Mr. Saito, you told the police that you had no impression, why did you suddenly change your testimony?"

"Because Mr. Police said to me, 'You remember wrong!' caused me to lose confidence, but after Lawyer Xingchen showed me the photo of Pingcang, I clearly remembered that he was definitely right. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Saito pointed his finger at Tsubokura again, affirming his attitude.

"This was a long time ago, can you really remember what the guests looked like?" asked Lawyer Seiura.

"This man sat on a bench all day until the sun went down, looking at the flowers, and I watched him from the commissary, so there could be no mistake!" replied Saito.

"Are you always watching the guests?" said Lawyer Seiura, who changed the question and continued to ask Saito.

"I work in the restaurant industry because I like to communicate with people, chatting with customers, watching all kinds of people in the park, and reverie about life, these are my hobbies, so I am very confident in observing people. ”

"I see. Knowing that he could no longer ask for any more valuable information from the clerk Saito, Lawyer Seiura suddenly said to the presiding judge, "Presiding Judge, I request that new witnesses be called. ”

An ominous premonition welled up in Xingchen's heart, and he got up and tried to stop it, "Because we didn't apply in advance, we can't agree. ”

The presiding judge exchanged views with the juries on the left and right, and since the case involved a wide range of cases, for the sake of prudence, he asked lawyer Seiura, "What kind of person is it?"

"This witness is closely related to the testimony of the defense witness just now, and I started looking for it a long time ago, and I found it not long ago. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

After discussion, the judges agreed to call new witnesses.

"My name is Tomoko Shimamura and I am a student at Komaba University of the Arts. Miss Tomoko introduced herself as a beautiful girl in her early twenties, and her innocent appearance made a lot of impressions of her.

"Miss Tomoko, where were you and what were you doing at around 2 p.m. on the day of the murder at the rice gas station last year?" asked lawyer Seipo to his witnesses.

"I bought coffee at Rice Flower Park and sat on a bench to sketch the plants until dusk. Tomoko replied with a smile.

The courtroom scene was in an uproar again!

How can it be?

According to the cashier records of the commissary, only one cup of coffee was sold that day. Tsubokura and Tomoko, one of the two must be lying.

For a moment, Xingchen felt that the situation was a little out of his control.

"Did you buy the coffee from this gentleman?" said Mr. Seiura, pointing to the clerk at the commissary, Saito, and confirmed to Miss Tomoko.

"Yes. You can't be wrong!" Tomoko replied in the affirmative.

"Could it be that you are mistaken, why are you so sure?" the question asked by lawyer Sepaura is exactly what Xingchen wants to know most at the moment, but he doesn't want to know.

Because lawyer Sepaura can't be untargeted, he will ask this question, and he must have conclusive evidence.

"I keep a diary every day on my blog, and I haven't stopped for five years. Tomoko thought for a moment and replied naturally.

Immediately afterwards, lawyer Seiura took out a copy of an A4 paper size and said: "This is a copy of the diary on the day of the crime last year, I read part of it: I went to Rice Flower Park today to sketch plants, this is a school subject, I became fascinated after I started drawing, only a cup of coffee, lasted for about 4 hours, it seems that I need to pay attention to my obsession!"

There is no doubt that this passage was written on the night of the crime, and there is no trace of any alteration since then, which is reasonable evidence. ”

Xingchen secretly screamed that it was not good, if he had known that the content of this blog existed, maybe he could have used hacking techniques to modify or delete it, but now it was too late.

"Allow me to question the defence witness, Mr. Saito. Lawyer Seipo pursued the victory and pleaded with the judge, and the presiding judge naturally agreed.

Saito, the clerk at the commissary, slowly walked up to the witness stand, but he was extremely frightened, he didn't know what crime he would be sentenced to for perjury in court, but he should not be able to escape from detention for at least a few dozen days.

"Mr. Saito, who should have been Miss Tomoko Shimamura who bought your coffee that day?" Seiura asked Saito with a hint of questioning in his tone.

"This ......" Saito scratched his hair, not knowing how to answer. If you admit it, wouldn't it mean that you were talking nonsense just now, and if you deny it, how can you explain the blog record that lawyer Seiura took out.

In front of everyone's eyes, it is believed that Segaura did not dare to give false testimony to commit fraud.

"Don't you remember? Didn't you say that you still have an impression? Didn't you say that you are very confident in observing human beings?" Seeing Saito's stumbling appearance, Lawyer Seiura was even more unforgivingly aggressive, "There should have been only one person who bought coffee that day! You said that you had been observing that person all day, Mr. Tsubokura and Miss Tomoko, how could the two of them not be regarded as one person, so it should be impossible to be mistaken! Who is it?"

Saito didn't know how to answer, and he was in a cold sweat, so he had to wipe his forehead with his hand constantly.

In view of the new progress in the case, Xingchen requested an adjournment to the presiding judge and changed the case to tomorrow for retrial.

The presiding judge took into account public opinion and promised to give Xingchen another day.

Everyone knows that if Tomorrow Star can't come up with strong evidence, then his first defense will end in failure 100%, which will not only fail to hit the Shirai Police Department, but also may implicate Twilight's current position.

Now that I think about it, all this is a bureau, and the Shirai Police Department should have already grasped Miss Tomoko, the key witness, who deliberately left a broken chain of evidence in order to lure Xingchen into the game.

As long as Xingchen loses in defense, the status of the Shirai Police Department in the police community will not only not be damaged, but will be praised as a dedicated criminal policeman.

At that time, Twilight will be said to be a scum who ignores the overall situation and discredits the police, and may be able to keep his position in the police department for a while, but after two or three years, he will always be taken down for various reasons.

Xingchen dragged his tired body back to Yingli Law Firm, he could still maintain his composure on the surface, but the coffee milk spilled when holding the mug in his hand completely betrayed his mood at the moment.

"What should I do? Am I going to lose?"

Yingli on the side saw Xingchen's strange mood and encouraged him: "As our lawyer, as long as the judge does not make a final judgment, the victory or defeat is not really known." I think I was in a more embarrassing situation back then than you are now, but I didn't give up. Remember, when you have no cards to play, the cards in your pair are your cards. ”

Yingli's words suddenly made Xingchen's eyes light up.

After more than half a year, even if there was evidence left, everything will inevitably be destroyed now, and it is unlikely that he will find new evidence to prove Pingcang's innocence.

The only thing that can be done now is to start with the evidence provided by lawyer Seiura, as long as it can be proved that the other party has mistakes and omissions, then you are naturally correct.

Another sleepless night, Xingchen really made a new discovery after drinking countless cups of coffee milk.

The next day, the fourth round of the appeal of Yuichi Tsubokura, a suspect in the rice flower gas station murder case, was open to trial, and the presiding judge allowed defense lawyer Xingchen to begin opposing questioning witnesses.

"Miss Tomoko Shimamura, you look so cute, I'm sure there are many boys in art school who pursue you!" Xingchen didn't rush to ask, but first complimented Tomoko's appearance.

"Thank you. Tomoko smiled and accepted the praise from the stars.

"As far as I know, you have had at least five or more boyfriends in art school, and in the past three years, you have had two abortions in the obstetrics and gynecology department of Rice Flower Hospital. Xingchen's words fell like a bombshell on the originally calm lake, setting off ripples, no one expected that under the disguise of Tomoko's innocent appearance, her private life would be so erosive.

In order to win the lawsuit, Xingchen can be said to do everything. Last night, he used computer hacking techniques to hack into Tomoko's commonly used chat accounts and mobile phone text message records, and even did not let go of the archives of Mihua Hospital, and finally obtained the above information.

The words of the defendant's lawyer have nothing to do with the case. "Lawyer Seiura knows what Xingchen is up to. This is a moral discrediting of Tomoko, which in turn reduces the credibility of her testimony.

"The objection is valid! Please pay attention to your words. "Of course, the presiding judge also knows what medicine is sold in the Xingchen gourd, and he can do whatever it takes to win, but he must pay attention to the appearance of not being too ugly.

"I'm sorry for the question. Xingchen didn't expect to overturn Tomoko's confession at once, and what he said just now was just a foreshadowing for his next narrative, "Miss Tomoko, are you sure that at the time of the crime, you were in Rice Flower Park based on the diary you wrote on your blog every day?"

"Yes. After experiencing the unpleasantness just now, Tomoko said lukewarmly.

"Last night, I read all of your diary entries for the past five years, and many of your friends and followers clicked through to read them, and I can understand why your blog is popular. However, ordinary people sometimes have a situation where they have nothing to write about all day, but you don't have it in your diary, is there an interesting experience that happens every day?"

"There is no such thing as nothing to write about, as long as you feel it with your heart, no matter how small it is, it can become an irreplaceable experience, and I always write down bits and pieces with this in mind. Tomoko tries to salvage her reputation from the other side.

"That's amazing!" Xingchen complimented Tomoko, then took out the documents he had prepared in advance and said, "Next, I'll ask questions about the content of the blog." On Thursday, March 12, there was a sentence in my blog diary, "I ate the extra-thick ramen at Jiro Ramen Restaurant late at night, and sometimes I want to overeat!"

"Yes. Miss Tomoko nodded in confirmation.

"However, after I investigated, I found that this ramen restaurant is a closed day on Thursday, and I have also confirmed with the store, and it is definitely a closed day, what is going on?" Xingchen smiled triumphantly at the corner of his mouth.

"I object, it has nothing to do with this case. Lawyer Seiura vaguely guessed what was going to happen next, and he hurriedly raised his hand to signal to the presiding judge.

"The objection is invalid. The presiding judge was obviously not so easily fooled, and this time he did not take up the objections raised by lawyer Seidura.

"On September 11th, I happened to see a sports day at a nearby kindergarten, good friends are so cute!' The result of my investigation is that the sports day of this kindergarten was held a week before you posted your blog and ended on the same day. ”

"On December 15th, 'Mickey Mouse cake at Ruby Pastry House was discounted, but in order to lose weight, I still didn't buy it, be patient!' In fact, the Mickey Cake at Ruby Pastry House was on sale three days ago. ”

Xingchen waved the information file in his hand, and said impassionedly: "I also found more than a dozen similar content on your blog, you just said that there will be no time when there is nothing to write every day, but in fact, there are still cases! In this case, it would be a waste to write it all at once. Only two of the three things are written down, and the remaining one is in place and stored for the days when there are no precious experiences. It's like an online writer, who writes more manuscripts when inspiration comes, and uploads and saves manuscripts when inspiration runs out. Miss Tomoko, do you repeat this process in your mind over and over again?"

After some questioning, while Zhizi was speechless, Xingchen said to her in a gentle tone: "I don't blame you, I can even say that this is your admirable effort to write an interesting diary, after all, you didn't fabricate something that didn't happen." But judging by the date, your blog has low creditworthiness. ”

"Let me ask you again, was it really the day of the killing, was it really the day of the killing, could it be a day ago, or a week ago?"

Tomoko's mind was blank at the moment, and she could only follow the steps given by Xingchen and replied, "I don't know." ”

Successfully solving a difficult problem, Xingchen took advantage of the victory to pursue and made a request to the presiding judge, "Next, the defense applied to question the witness Hamaguchi patrol (one of the three henchmen under the Shirai Police Department). ”

Police officer Hamaguchi walked over to the witness stand, secretly determined in his heart that no matter how clever Xingchen was, he would not testify against the Shirai Police Department.

"'During the interrogation, the door was always open, very quiet, and not a sound was heard,' is the testimony you have provided, is this?" Xingchen asked as he circled around the witness stand, trying to distract Officer Hamaguchi.

This little trick may be useful to others, but it is ineffective for the police officer Hamaguchi, who has interrogated many suspects, and he sees Hamaguchi staring straight ahead with his eyes, not squinting, not looking at the stars in circles at all, and replies in a short but powerful word: "Yes!"

Seeing that his off-the-board moves were ineffective, Xingchen didn't care, and originally he didn't think that he could obediently make these people surrender just by relying on his own overlord spirit, which was just better than nothing.

Next, Xingchen took out a photo and showed it to Hamaguchi, which showed a high-rise modern building.

"Do you know this building? It was built right next to your police station, and it was completed three months ago. I went to the rice flower construction company that contracted the project and asked for the project schedule. Xingchen took out another sheet and spread it out to the courtroom/everyone in the courtroom.

"According to this timeline, it can be traced back to 7 months ago, but on the day of the killing at the rice gas station, a heavy crane entered the site and began to dismantle the original building, the whole process lasted half a month, and I have verified with the rice construction company that they have not stopped work for half a month. In other words, on the day Pingcang was arrested and interrogated, the demolition of the building was being carried out from morning to night. ”

Last year, the government advocated energy conservation and emission reduction, so public institutions such as police stations implemented measures to reduce air conditioning and open windows for ventilation. You should be driven crazy by the noise of disassembly. ”

It was really hard during that time, the fat man was afraid of heat, plus he always wore a hat on his head, and he couldn't turn on the air conditioner in the office, even if the angle of the fan was adjusted to face him, the heat blown out could not relieve the heat.

After work, the first thing Twilight does when she gets home is to open the fridge and pour a cold bottle of coffee milk to cool down.

Therefore, Xingchen still remembers the fact that the police station does not turn on the air conditioner and opens the windows for ventilation.

"Could it be that you are mistaken?" Without giving Hamaguchi and the others a chance to quibble, Xingchen directly asked himself and replied: "No! There is absolutely no coincidence that three people are misremembering at the same time, this is obvious perjury! Why did the three witnesses lie in the same voice? I applied for questioning the Shirai Police Department. ”

After today, the perjury of Shirai's three subordinates will be announced by the media, and their careers will be over. The stars will not show the slightest mercy to them, political struggles have always been cruel, who let them choose the wrong team in the first place!

After successfully solving Shirai's minions, the next step is to knock this big tiger down.

"Shirai Police Department, you deliberately transferred you from Kanagawa Prefecture because you want to strengthen the arrest rate of criminals in Tokyo, right?" Xingchen pushed the flat glasses he was wearing, and his eyes looked directly at Shirai, his eyes sharp like knives.

"That's one of the reasons. Shirai replied cautiously, wondering if Xingchen had set a trap in this question.

"You have left a brilliant record in Kanagawa, and the police officers who testified for you were all transferred to Tokyo with you, and they cooperated with you in their work, so it is impossible to oppose you. In order to confirm your testimony, you instigated your subordinates to give false testimony for you, right?" Xingchen's question is very vicious, if Shirai admits it, it is equivalent to saying that he is committing perjury, and if he denies it, it will chill the hearts of his subordinates.

"I didn't!" Now, Shirai can only abandon the car to protect the handsome.

"Actually, you don't need to instruct at all, they secretly decided to shelter you, right?" Winning the lawsuit is just Xingchen's means, and the real purpose is to oust Shirai from power and clear the way for Twilight.

"I'm against it!" Seeing that the rhythm of the interrogation had been firmly controlled by Xingchen, lawyer Seiura hurriedly stood up and objected.

"The opposition is valid!" The presiding judge also knew that behind this lawsuit was Twilight and Shirai playing games, if Xingchen dug too deep and exposed all the shady scenes of the police, it would be bad for the general public to be disgusted.

"I'll change the question. Has the arrest rate of criminals in Tokyo increased since you came over?"

"There are certain results. "Shirai is still not fooled, saying that there is a significant improvement will give people the impression of frivolity, and saying that there is no improvement will show that he is incompetent. So it's safest for him to give such an ambiguous answer.

Xingchen took out another document and said: "According to the information in my hand, the crime solving rate in Tokyo has been increasing year by year under the wise leadership of the Twilight Police Department, and it has remained at a high level of 100% in recent months, but the arrest rate of the cases you are responsible for is better said to be a regression!"

Xingchen's face was not red at all when he praised his father, and there was a stumbling block behind his back, and it was only hell that Shirai was able to solve the case smoothly!

"Some achievements can't be expressed by numbers alone!" Shirai couldn't say anything, so he could only say hard.

"You have failed the expectations of those around you, but you have not achieved anything. In the face of this reality, do you have a sense of fear?" Xingchen didn't give Shirai face at all, and poked directly at his soft underbelly.

"I don't understand what that means. Shirai scratched his somewhat thinning hair, looking at him left and right.

"You are afraid of changing from a legendary famous criminal policeman to a useless old man, are you feeling anxious, now that you pay attention to evidence in solving cases, your interrogation methods will only become more and more unsuccessful. Xingchen's attitude became stern, and he sped up his speech: "'Times have changed, that person is finished', in the face of such gossip around you, you want to show your strength, 'I can still do it, I am a master of interrogation', the victim of your senseless self-esteem is the defendant Pingcang! So you built a secret room and used intimidation and violence to force the defendant to confess!"

"What do you know?" was taught a lesson by a junior Xingchen, and the Shirai Police Department couldn't help but retort: "I have many years of accumulated experience, and I have identified him from the beginning!"

"You mean the policeman's intuition?" said Xingchen's tone.

"It's not okay to be a little intimidating against that kind of scum!" "On weekdays, Twilight is against himself, but he didn't expect his son to dare to yell at him, and the more he thought about it, the more angry the Shirai Police Department became.

"Did you decide the real murderer by intuition?" Xingchen asked again without giving him a moment to think.

"Looking at the way he stumbled, it must have been because he killed someone. "Shirai's temper has been provoked by the stars, and the usual silence is completely gone, hidden under the surface is an active volcano that is ready to attack.

"Please show me the evidence!" Xingchen asked sharply.

"Just look at his eyes!" yelled Shirai.

When he came back to his senses again, it was too late, and the courtroom became deathly silent, as if even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard, and everyone knew what Shirai's words meant.

"Is that how you handle the case? A triumphant smile appeared on Xingchen's face, and he knew he had won.

In the end, the presiding judge and the jury concluded that Yuichi Tsubokura was acquitted in court due to insufficient evidence in the rice flower gas station murder.
