The sound was quiet, but it was too quiet in the courtroom, so Kaoru Ichinose would definitely be able to hear it too. The old guy couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

Nan Xiao looked surprised: "What! ”

"It's the news I just received, and the court officer who went to summon said that Hamura suddenly repented and didn't agree to testify against Kaoru Ichinose!"

"How is that possible? Who has entered the room? Did you tell him anything? ”

"No one has touched him except the clerk who brought him into the room."

"What about the officer?"

"Looking for ......"

Nan Xiao didn't speak, staring at Kaoru Ichinose. This guy didn't know when he put away the sneer again, sat upright, and put on the same indifferent poker face as before.

The judge urged: "Prosecutor, please let the witness appear in court as soon as possible." ”

The matter has come to this point, and Nan Xiao can only say one thing. "Just now, someone threatened our witness, causing him to refuse to testify in court. In view of the disruption of the trial, I request an adjournment of one week and a further adjournment of the trial. ”

Several judges withdrew from the courtroom to discuss for a while, and replied that Nan Xiao could not have imagined: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister has received a large number of petitions requesting that Mr. Ichinose's case be heard as soon as possible. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is an important national agency, and the continuation of the situation where the vice minister is unable to handle official duties will cause many social problems. The Prime Minister hopes that the case will be concluded as soon as possible. As a result of the court's deliberations, there was no clear evidence that Kyohei Hamura was threatened. Therefore, if Kyohei Hamura refuses to testify, the court will not accept him as a witness in this case. The trial will continue. ”

Seven of the nine judges supported the continuation of the trial, while only two sided with the prosecution.

The situation is unfavorable, but there are other witnesses.

Nan Xiao said: "Then, I apply to call other witnesses...... Kunihiko Morita, Chief Public Prosecutor of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office. ”

Because he was involved in the ADDC9 scandal, Kunihiko Morita was suspended for investigation. But he did not have a status after all, so he was not detained, but stayed at home waiting to appear in court. This morning, Mado Fujii called him. He promised to testify in court. It's almost noon now, so it's supposed to be there.

The court clerk went to summon Morita and came back a little later, sweating profusely.

Fujii Mado listened to the affairs officer's whispered words in his ear, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Yagami-kun......" she said with difficulty, "Twenty minutes ago, Prosecutor Morita was in a car accident on the way to the courthouse and died. ”

"What?" Nan Xiao angrily pointed at Ichinose, "This is murder!" You are the mastermind! ”

Ichinose said contemptuously, "Speak with evidence, lawyer Yagami." ”

The indifferent judge was urging again: "Prosecutor, please let the witness appear in court as soon as possible." ”

Nan Xiao asked, "What about Yoji Ikuno and Kuroyanman?" Are the two still silent? ”

Matoshi Fujii hurriedly contacted the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office.

She called for a while, her expression becoming more and more panicked: "Ikuno and Kuroiwa have confessed......"

Pleaded guilty? Isn't that a good thing? What the hell are you panicking about?

Fujii continued, "The two of them confessed in unison, saying that they were all instructed by Ryusuke Kido, the director of the New Drug Development Center, and that they were just doing things according to orders. ”

What the?

"So、What about Kido?"

Fujii shook his head in despair: "Just now, Kido suddenly surrendered to the Special Investigation Department, and he took all the charges alone. He said that Yoji Ikuno had instructed him to experiment on living people, and that it had nothing to do with the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Everything is because he is too desperate to pursue fame and fortune and urgently wants to advance the research and development progress of ADDC9, which gave rise to the crazy idea of catching Yakuza to do live drug experiments. ”

The director of the new drug development center took the initiative to carry the mine, and this trick was simply flawless. A director who is obsessed with fame and fortune compulsorily requires the progress of new drug research to speed up, and of course he can only do it brutally. If you want to be motivated, you want to have evidence, what else do you want? The prisoner himself has confessed, are you going to stuff his words back with your mouth shut?

No wonder such a mediocre person can do what he is good at. Those big guys must have already arranged this hand. usually raises it with good food and drink, and throws it out as a scapegoat at critical moments. Ryusuke Kido is simply a pig!

Threaten Hamura to shut up, murder Prosecutor Morita, find Kido to take the blame, and let Ikuno confess with Kuroiwa.

When bad luck happens, the bad news comes one after another.

It's so powerful, if you don't shoot, it's just a combination of punches.

It seems that the enemy has long been ready. I was afraid that he would be vigilant, so I endured it until the trial.

If you want to go a little deeper, I'm afraid that some of the judges who appeared in court today were also bribed. Otherwise, why not allow the retrial to be postponed? There must be some shady PY trading in this.

By now, Nan Xiao had finally confirmed that the enemy was very well-calculated and powerful. If you think about it, Ichinose is not the final boss at all. He is just a spokesperson for interests, with a complex network of relationships behind him.

Nan Xiao asked Fujii Mato: "What about the evidence that was received in the official gentry hotel?" ”

"It's all in the court," Fujii said, handing over a list, "it's all here." Her eyes were a little gloomy, "This evidence doesn't point directly to Kaoru Ichinose, at most it only proves Kido's guilt." ”

The enemy succeeded in finding a scapegoat. Except for Kido's bad luck, the rest are accomplices. The judge is their man again, and the final verdict must be only a fine of three glasses of wine. The big boss Kaoru Ichinose doesn't have any, and he can walk out of the courtroom in a grand manner.

The judge began to urge: "The prosecution, have you identified the witnesses to be called?" ”

In this case, the continuation of the trial can only result in insufficient evidence and the prosecution loses the case.

Kaoru Ichinose was already smiling. He smiled so proudly, so calmly, the kind of smile that made sure he had won. Many people in the gallery were smiling, as were his defense lawyers. An atmosphere of defeat for the prosecution and victory for the defense has enveloped the entire courtroom.

What a lesson, do you think you can defy people in parallel planes if you have cleared the customs countless times and are familiar with the process strategy? As an indigenous, Kaoru Ichinose and the forces behind him have unimaginable connections and resources. When they perceive that the situation is unfavorable, they will try their best to flip the table. Intimidating witnesses, destroying evidence, bribing judges, there is nothing that cannot be done.

But I can't be defeated.

The trial failed, but the task could not be completed. If Kaoru Ichinose is not allowed to confess in court, there is no way to return to the Overworld.

The goal of the mission is to "serve as a lawyer again in the trial, and successfully get Kaoru Ichinose, Vice Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, to plead guilty in court." "That's it. In other words, there is no such restriction as "it must be through formal legal means".

…… In that case, just let this old guy sitting in the dock plead guilty.

I'm playing yin, but I can flip the table.

Nan Xiao also smiled.

The judge continued: "In view of the inability of the prosecution to present sufficient evidence to support its contents, the Court finds that—"

"異議あり! (Japanese: I'm against it!) ）”

Nan Xiao stood up suddenly, slapped the table with both hands, and pointed in the air! At that moment, he was simply possessed by a stepless dragon, and with his imposing movements, he said the most classic and deep-rooted lines of the reversal referee.
