But Xiang Yuanguang simply thought that there was no need for this.

When you can win the game by steady steps, why should you try to take risks?

Wouldn't it be very embarrassing if Feilong lost to Lang? Should he still stay in the Tokyo legal world?

"Uh, defense attorney, are you sure you want a witness to testify on this?"

"This court has to tell you again that the performance of the defense lawyer directly affects whether the defendant is guilty or not."

"If you are dissatisfied with the defendant, this court may allow you to take a ten-minute break..."

"It allows you to have a frank conversation with the defendant and relieve the pressure and emotions in your heart."

The presiding judge asked in a confirmatory manner, causing Xiang Yuanguang to type a few question marks.

No, man, what do you mean? To sow discord between me and the accused?

The blue hedgehog took another sip of his coffee and shook his head.

"The defense is determined to have witnesses testify about what I said."

"This will be decisive testimony and I will present decisive evidence."

"Don't get me wrong, Your Honor, I'm not targeting Prosecutor Sugiura."

"I mean... in normal situations, there's no need for me to bluff."

Prosecutor Sugiura was even more moved to hear Xiang Yuanguang's explanation than if Xiang Yuanguang hadn't explained anything.

You even had to bluff when dealing with the rookie prosecutor Gui Yueying.

How come it has become a normal situation here and there is no need for bluffing?

Prosecutor Sugiura was about to lose his temper, but then he thought about his own salary assessment and the impact it would have on his performance in this trial.

I had no choice but to swallow my anger and take a step back, planning to look at the specific situation before making a decision.

"Okay, witness, please testify about the aspect raised by Attorney Yuan."

The presiding judge shook his head and accepted Xiang Yuanguang's opinion.

Then, the gavel came down and it was declared.

Fujisawa Toshiaki, who was standing at the testimony stand, was waiting for these words from the presiding judge.

He straightened his back and spoke unusually loudly and confidently.

[Testimony begins]

"The first edition of A Study in Scarlet is the reason we came to the Mycroft Hotel." "I first saw this book when Kanaya Hiroyuki took it out on the first night."

"At that time, the book was placed in a special collection box, and the box had a special logo on it."

"Then, in the early hours of the third day, I left the restaurant and went back to my room."

"Found a note with the whereabouts of the first edition of A Study in Scarlet."

"The note said the book was inside the car in the garage and asked me to get it quickly or it would be gone."

"But at that time, I was worried about Kanaya Hiroyuki's death and didn't dare to take any action..."

"It wasn't until Oki Ayako died that I realized it was a murder plot against me."

"And the last time I saw him was when the police came to the Mycroft Hotel and found the first edition of A Study in Scarlet without a box in Kawazu Hiroo's room."

[End of testimony]

"……What did you say?"

Prosecutor Sugiura's eyes widened like bells.

No, you knew at the time that it was a murder attempt against you, why didn't you say it?

What other note? No, why didn't you tell the police about the note?

Did you take kickbacks from the defense? Why didn't you tell the prosecutor anything?

The exasperated elite prosecutor slammed the table and spoke loudly.

"Witness, you are legally responsible for your testimony, so you must speak carefully!"

"Also, what's up with the second half of your testimony? Why was the prosecutor completely unaware of this?"

"And what about that note? Why wasn't it submitted as evidence?"

Looking at the furious Prosecutor Sugiura, Fujisawa Toshiaki was silent for a moment.

Then he said quietly.

"According to the law, I can refuse to answer questions that affect my personal interests."

"So, Prosecutor Sugiura, I will remain silent on your question."

"???"

Prosecutor Sugiura's hands were shaking, not because of fear, but because of anger.

He pointed tremblingly at the witness Fujisawa Toshiaki at the testimony stand, his expression changing significantly.

Suddenly, Prosecutor Sugiura grabbed the wig on his head and threw it to the ground with a whoosh!

"I decorated your horse!"

The presiding judge's expression suddenly became serious.

"Prosecutor Sugiura, please pay attention to your personal image and do not swear in the courtroom!"

"Also, throwing personal belongings on the ground is not allowed!"

"Since this is your first offense in this trial, this court will not punish you."

"But if you do something similar again, this court will reduce the punishment!"

"I...I surrender to you."

Prosecutor Sugiura's chest heaved rapidly, but he finally decided to swallow his anger.

He bent down, picked up the wig on the ground, and was about to put it back on the table at the prosecutor's seat.

Then the sound of “Puff————” was heard again.

"I, Tama, have been putting up with you for so long! You were clearly just laughing at me, and you never stopped!"

Prosecutor Sugiura threw the wig out with lightning speed.

It hit Hattori Heiji's face with a whoosh.

hula——————

The wig slipped off.

When the wig slipped off his face, Hattori Heiji suddenly became serious, and a cross seemed to appear on his forehead.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the presiding judge immediately struck the gavel.

"That's enough! Please pay attention to your personal words and actions, prosecutor. Please leave the courtroom for ten minutes to calm down!"

"The trial of the murder case of a Sherlock Holmes fan will continue in ten minutes!"

"Humph."

The elite prosecutor snorted coldly, walked to the defense seat, and stared into Hattori Heiji's eyes.

Then he reached out to pick up his wig and walked out of the courtroom.

(…Did he intentionally allow himself to be ordered to appear in court in order to buy time for a recess?)

(It seems that he is planning to go to Kento Toba to check his testimony and prepare for the final counterattack.)

Xiang Yuanguang's fingers subconsciously touched his chin, looking like he was thinking.

This also made the presiding judge relax a lot.

Sure enough, the blue hedgehog is still the same blue hedgehog, nothing has changed.

Chapter 380: The referee is a big reversal! (11)

Ten minutes passed quietly.

Prosecutor Sugiura, who was furious before, returned to the prosecutor's seat with a poker face.

But with the observation ability of Genmi-Kumi and Hattori Heiji, it is not difficult to see——————

The guy seemed to be trying to hold back a laugh, congratulating himself on his own wit.

However, Xiang Yuanguang remained indifferent to this and nodded secretly.

You have to know that Kento Toba's testimony had been carefully considered for a long time and had no flaws.

But now Prosecutor Sugiura goes to see Kento Toba to explain the new developments in the case.

Kento Toba's testimony will definitely be revised based on new circumstances.

It takes a thousand lies to cover up one lie.

"...That means Toba Kento's flaw will become even bigger next time."

"If I'm not mistaken, the murderer is that guy, right?"

Hattori Heiji, who was standing next to Genkou, said softly, it seems that there is a result.

After all, among the testimonies given by Inspector Shiratori at the time, there was some "strange" testimony related to Kento Toba.

Fujisawa Toshiaki was attacked and everyone in the room was a suspect.

But only Kento Toba was ruled out as a suspect, like a white lotus standing out in the mud.

(Also, if we focus on the idea that Kento Toba is the murderer, and then work backwards.)

(It is clear that both Kanaya Hiroyuki and Oki Ayako are related to Toba Kento.)

(If Fujisawa Toshiaki's testimony that "Ayako Oki died as a result" is correct.)

(Then, he and Ooki Ayako should be the targets of Kento Toba's attack.)

After all, the people who went to check on Kanaya Hiroyuki at that time were Fujisawa Toshiaki and Oki Ayako.

If he was worried that these two people would discover his crime and planned to kill them...that would make sense.

As for why Kento Toba wanted to kill Hiroyuki Kanaya?

Well... we have to wait until Kento Toba himself comes to the courtroom and asks in person to find out the reason.

"That's a good point, but you're still too impulsive."

"This may result in you being directly expelled from the court and banned from participating in the trial."

Xiang Yuanguang took a sip of coffee and said calmly.

However, Hattori Heiji shrugged and said as a matter of course.

"I'm not a defense lawyer. Isn't it enough for you to be in the court? Who is the real murderer..."

"You had already determined this before the trial began, and I have only now come to the conclusion that you already knew."

Unless you are the ultimate kryptonian gold boss of life and death sniper, otherwise you can only be a cheater.

Xiang Yuanguang was secretly complaining in his heart, while the presiding judge lowered the gavel.

"Silence, silence! This court needs silence to hear the case! Now let's continue with the trial of the Sherlock Holmes fan murder case!"

"Previously, the witness Fujisawa Toshiaki has completed his testimony. May I ask whether the defense will enter the [questioning] phase?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Xiang Yuanguang.

The legendary lawyer, who had created many impossibilities in previous trials, nodded slightly.

The next moment, the BGM sounded in the courtroom.
