People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 950 The Reversal of the Silk Thread (14)

In front of everyone, Kanami Saki demanded that Kana Yoshino testify in court.

The audience in the courtroom erupted in uproar at this.

They discussed it amongst themselves, but they felt that there was nothing wrong with what Kanami Saki said.

Whether or not Kana Zenori was guided and manipulated by Tokudaiji Masayo in his relationship with Geral Tenma, only Kana Zenori himself knows the answer.

No one else's opinion matters.

What if Kanazan had already been guided by Tokudaiji Masayo before Kogoro Mori arrived?

Tokudaiji Masayo, standing at the testimony platform, had a furrowed brow.

She said with a gloomy expression,

"Madam, please have some self-respect! I have never done such a thing!"

"The collaboration with Mr. Gerald Tenma is what you wanted. The reason President Kana invited Gerald Tenma to the villa to discuss the collaboration was also an action he took to pursue you!"

—What? A collaboration with Gerald Tenma is what Kanami Saki wanted?
These words caused an uproar in the courtroom.

No wonder she is Kana Yoshitaka's closest secretary.

This person clearly knows a lot of company secrets. When pushed to the limit, she could even say such things directly. This is like stabbing Kana Misaki in the heart!
Kanami Saki was already a suspect in the murder.

If we add the fact that Gerald Tenma was invited, it's something Kanami Saki wanted.

At this moment, the suspicion against Kanami Saki for murder was heightened once again!

"President Ka-Kana?"

The bald old man was somewhat surprised.

His voice trembled slightly, then he said in shock,
"Wait, did I hear that right? Just now, Ms. Tokudaiji said President Kana, not Chairman Kana, right? So that means... Kana Yoshino's younger brother, Kana Hideki, is pursuing Mrs. Kana?"

The presiding judge remembers it very clearly.

Kana Zen is the chairman of the Kana Entertainment Foundation, while Kana Hideki is the president of Kana Music Publishing, an affiliate of the Kana Entertainment Foundation.

A secretary like Tokudaiji Masayo would likely use very precise language.

The "President Kana" being referred to now is definitely Kana Yoshino's younger brother, Kana Hideki, but...

"Isn't it a bit too much for a younger brother to be chasing after his sister-in-law...?"

He did not say the following words.

However, since things have already come to this point, there's no need for him to say it aloud.

Others only needed to hear the general content to know which adjectives to use to describe it.

"Wait, that's complete nonsense!"

"The witness is completely slandering Mr. Hideki Kana! Her testimony is not credible!"

Ritsuko Usui quickly replied.

If Tokudaiji Masayo's statement provides solid evidence against Kanami Saki, then Kanami Saki will truly have one foot in the grave, and her request will soon be a lost cause.

She glanced at Kanami Saki, who still seemed indignant in the defendant's dock.

All I felt was the urge to curse.

There is no other reason.

Kanami Saki is such a terrible teammate. Apart from being outstanding in appearance, this woman is both stupid and wicked!
She now believes that Kanami Saki is the culprit in this case.

If the prosecution hadn't yet found conclusive evidence to convict her, and if she weren't concerned about her chances of winning, she probably would have already packed up and left. What's the point of this lawsuit? It's laughable!
"Whether something is credible or not is not up to the defense lawyer to decide!"

Gui Yueying's eyes were serious.

She lightly patted the table with both hands and said loudly,

"The best way to verify this idea is as the defendant said—"

"Your Honor, the prosecution requests that witness Kanazan appear in court to testify!"

Hearing this, Kanami Saki, who was about to mock Tokudaiji Masayo again, was secretly delighted.

She knew that Ganashan, as her husband, loved her very much.

Although he is currently concerned about Tokudaiji Masayo, who is just a secretary, he cares more about her than Tokudaiji Masayo. He believes that Kana Zen will make the right choice in court!
Tokudaiji Masayo snorted coldly and said nothing more.

She also felt that at this point, only the chairman, Kanasan, could explain the situation personally.

Speaking of which, the fact that Hideki Kana specifically sought out Geralt Tenma for collaboration on behalf of Misaki Kana was something Yoshino Kana told her personally after investigating the matter.

If Ganashan appears in court, he will definitely tell the truth and bring the truth to light!

As for the person who killed Geralt Pegasus...

She had initially suspected, like everyone else, that it was Kana Zenzuru, but now she had changed her mind.

The person who killed Jellal Pegasus was undoubtedly Kanami Saki.

This guy not only deliberately lured Geralt Pegasus over to kill him, but also framed Kana Zenzuru, and when that failed, he tried to frame her instead...

Ideally, this trial should result in Kanami Saki being imprisoned immediately, and she shouldn't be released again!
"...Yes, I find the prosecution's argument quite reasonable."

The bald old man nodded.

To prove which of Kanami Saki's and Tokudaiji Masayo's statements is correct, and to verify whether Usui Ritsuko's deduction is correct, the only solution now is for Kanami Saki herself to testify in court.

He looked at the defense and asked,
"Regarding the matter of having Kana Zenno testify in court about who invited Geral Tenma Company, and whether Tokudaiji Masayo influenced him."

"Attorney Usui, what do you think?"

Since we've already gone this far, why bother asking me?
Ritsuko Usui sighed.

Now the prosecutor, the presiding judge, the defendant, and the witnesses are all demanding that Ganashanze appear in court to testify.

At this point, her defense lawyer's opinion is actually not very important.

She nodded and said...
"The defense had no objection and agreed to allow witness Ganashan to testify in court."

She can only hope that her client will refrain from making inappropriate remarks after appearing in court.

If Kana Zenno gives any testimony detrimental to Kana Misaki when she appears in court later, then if any more evidence of murder against Kana Misaki is found, Kana Misaki will be truly finished.

There is absolutely no other possible outcome.

"Since the defense and the prosecution agree, bailiff, please go to the lounge to summon witness Kanazan to testify in court."

The judge lowered the gavel and announced.

The two bailiffs guarding the door immediately stood up.

Tokudaiji Masayo also left the courtroom, not forgetting to turn back and glare at Kanami Saki sitting in the defendant's dock before leaving.

Her hostility towards Kanami Saki stemmed entirely from Kanami Saki's inexplicable hostility towards her.

Now that Kanami Saki wants her to take the blame and go to jail, she naturally doesn't need to be nice to Kanami Saki anymore. When she gets back, she'll give Kanami Saki a big surprise!
