Chapter 1035 The Reversal of the Period Drama (8)

Five black chess pieces floated in front of Kenzo Tajima.

The five heart locks hanging there indicate that this is a secret deep within Kenzo Tajima's heart. However, according to Hikaru Muto's thinking, the deepest secret in Tajima's heart should be that he killed someone.

Unless, as Kenzo Tajima believed, this was the last time he used the computer, implying that he was the murderer.

—What exactly did Kenzo Tajima do with the computer?
Xiang Yuanguang narrowed his eyes slightly.

He thought of the floppy disk that Ito Tamanosuke had mentioned, the one that Chikaishi Tetsuo used to store the script. That floppy disk still hadn't been found, no, at least he hadn't found it.

It might be in the hands of the prosecutors, or it might be hidden by Kenzo Tajima.

Perhaps Kenzo Tajima used a computer to wipe the contents of that floppy disk, resetting the script to zero with a single click, thus ensuring that Tetsuo Chikaishi would not reveal his secrets in the script.

Therefore, Kenzo Tajima believed that the last time he used the computer, he was the murderer.

However, this is too difficult to prove.

While he could try to recover from simple file deletion, deleting floppy disks was too high-tech or too outdated for him; he couldn't handle it.

We need to bring Noah's Ark, or Baosheng Lidou.

Xiang Yuanguang's finger gently touched his forehead.

He was considering whether or not to use the heart lock now.

Or rather,

He can play the feigned bravado game.

Soon, Shiratori Ninzaburo pushed open the courtroom door and hurriedly returned.

He had no idea what was happening here.
He just said seriously,

"Attorney Xiang Yuan, Your Honor, Prosecutor Jiu Tiao."

"According to the police officers at the scene, the last time the computer was turned on was indeed after Chikaishi Tetsufumi's death, but the technical officers were unable to reverse engineer what it was used for."

Upon hearing this, Kenzo Tajima suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Reiko Kujo narrowed her eyes slightly.
She was not surprised by the result.

However, this indicates that there are other uncertainties on the field, because the reasoning she gave to Kenzo Tajima to prove that he was not a suspect could also be applied to Tamanosuke Ito.

If Ito Tamanosuke is the murderer, focus on his fingerprints.

Then he killed Chikashi Tetsuo and hid his fingerprints, used the computer and hid his fingerprints, and moved a wooden board at night and hid his fingerprints. This makes sense, but the evidence doesn't match.

That night, the police searched high and low but couldn't find Ito Tamanosuke's gloves.

In other words, unless Ito Tamanosuke's glove can fly away.

Otherwise, Ito Tamanosuke wouldn't have been able to hide the gloves.

According to the theory proposed by Xiang Yuanguang, there is indeed no way to prove that Ito Tamanosuke is the murderer; we can only say that Ito Tamanosuke is highly suspicious.

She needs to figure out how to break this deadlock.

However, at that very moment, Xiang Yuanguang spoke again.
“Mr. Kenzo Tajima, you seem relieved.”

"Do you think you can rest easy just because the technical officers can't trace the deleted files on the computer? Actually, I know a computer genius friend named Baosheng Lidou."

"Of course, you may not know him, but others should have heard of this name."

After Xiang Yuanguang finished speaking,
The room erupted in discussion, but the presiding judge remained bewildered, unaware of what Kou Gen was talking about, until someone mentioned Hosho Reito's identity.

The presiding judge then realized what was happening.

—This is indeed a top-tier figure in the IT industry.

The world's number one gamer, a technical advisor to the Arita Group, and a genius IT engineer—if it were Hosho Reito, it would indeed be possible to trace back the information here.

However, Reiko Kujo frowned and said,
"Attorney Xiang Yuan, please do not use this method of leading testimony in your questioning."

“Besides, Attorney Xiang Yuan, are you sure your friend named Baosheng is still in Tokyo? I remember Mr. Baosheng disappeared after the Cocoon Game incident.” “Are you really able to contact Mr. Baosheng?”

Of course, we can't get in touch with them.

Xiang Yuanguang thought to himself.

How could he possibly contact Hosho Reito? That's not an easy person to find. Hosho Reito always comes to him. If he wants to find Hosho, he has to contact Arita Ryosuke as a middleman.

The problem is that Ryosuke Arita has been placed in solitary confinement and has not been released yet.

He also couldn't contact Ryosuke Ueda, so this was just a bluff.

However, at this moment.

Shiratori Ninzaburo suddenly spoke up.
"By the way, the technical officers said there's no way to restore it."

"It's not just a matter of technical capability; the computers are missing something crucial, preventing them from even taking the first step—"

At this moment, Shiratori Ninzaburo was clearly speaking in favor of Mugen Hikaru.

He looked at Reiko Kujo and said,

"The technical officers need to test if the missing prop is the floppy disk that Chikaishi Tetsuo used to write the script. Prosecutor Kujo, may I have it for a trial?"

Hearing this, Reiko Kujo frowned.
But he still said,
"of course can."

She took out the floppy disk that Chikaishi Tetsuyo had used to record the script, which had disappeared for a while and then been found again, and placed it on the table. Just as she was about to speak...
But the next moment, Xiang Yuanguang said,

"Your Honor, I request a half-hour recess to allow time for recovering the data from the floppy disk."

Upon hearing this, the presiding judge showed a thoughtful expression.

He had a vague feeling that Xiang Yuanguang's request for a half-hour break wasn't just about repairing the floppy disk data, but he still nodded and agreed to the request.

Making the audience in the gallery wait for fifteen minutes, then half an hour, is not a good thing.

Perhaps we should adjourn the court now.

With this idea in mind, the presiding judge immediately turned to look at Reiko Kujo and asked,
"So, what is Prosecutor Kujo's opinion on this?"

Reiko Kujo glanced at the presiding judge.

She knew the presiding judge already had a plan, so she answered directly.

"The prosecution has no objection."

"If Your Honor wishes to adjourn the court, please do so."

Upon hearing this, the presiding judge gave an awkward, forced laugh.

Then he lowered the gavel and said,

"Then, the court will adjourn for thirty minutes."

"The court will resume hearing this case in thirty minutes!"

At the defense table, Koizumi Akako sighed.
