I'm in Conan, but I'm in Ace Attorney

Tsujimura Kimie, who originally had a gloomy face, immediately reacted after hearing what Prosecutor Dante said.

This was Xiang Yuanguang's trap for her, if she really went to confront her boss at the diplomatic embassy.

This was equivalent to her admitting that she might have heard the phone call that Tsujimura Isao received regarding the special mission...

As a result, one falls into a self-proving trap from which one cannot escape.

Dante's method is simple and crude. He directly escapes the trap of self-proof and raises a new question.

"Even if the boss at the diplomatic embassy was Tsujimura Isao who notified us by phone, so what?"

"Could it be possible that Tsujimura Kimie could hear clearly what was said on the phone?"

"Even if the boss at the diplomatic embassy informed Tsujimura Isao in the office of the diplomatic embassy, ​​so what?"

"If we are chatting in the office, can Tsujimura Kimie definitely go to the side of the office and eavesdrop?"

The silver-haired red prosecutor raised his eyebrows, looking rather frivolous.

He always ends his sentences with rhetorical questions, which is quite aggressive.

"As I said, it's not the first time that the person next to you has different dreams while sleeping in the same bed."

"The investigation team's visit to the Tokyo diplomatic embassy has a certain level of confidentiality, and Tsujimura Isao will not tell his wife."

"If you think so, then please provide evidence that Tsujimura Isao would violate the confidentiality agreement and tell Tsujimura Kimie."

The ball was thrown back——————

Xiang Yuanguang asked Tsujimura Kimie to prove that he did not hear the time of Tsujimura Isao's urgent mission.

Dante demands that Minamoto provide evidence that Tsujimura Isao violated the confidentiality agreement and told Tsujimura Kimie about the matter.

In other words, if after confirming the time, Mukai Mitsuru could not provide evidence that Tsujimura Kimie knew about the matter.

Then this information would be completely invalid, and even the presiding judge's evaluation of him would slightly decline.

"...However, there are differences in the witness's testimony on the same issue from that previously given by the defendant."

"May I ask if the witness was really arranging the tea utensils in the kitchen during the time he was making tea?"

"Or should I go check the quality of the tea leaves in the kitchen when the tea is almost ready?"

Without dwelling on this topic, he changed the direction of attack again towards Yuan Guang.

His expression became much more serious. He patted the case materials in his hand with the back of his hand and asked again.

At this, Tsujimura Kimie's gaze froze.

Since Xiang Yuanguang has now given the difference in his testimony, that means...

According to Toshimitsu Tsujimura's testimony, she was sent away to check the tea leaves when the tea was brewed or almost brewed.

But in fact, this was just an excuse she used to get rid of Tsujimura Toshimitsu and was not part of her original testimony.

"Of course I spent the time I was making tea tidying up the tea utensils in the kitchen."

The old gossip found an excuse for herself and tried to use this opportunity to hide it from Xiang Yuanguang.

However, the blue hedgehog simply shook his head and put down the case file in his hand.

"No, witness, you are lying, because at the time of the crime... there was no tea set that needed to be cleaned up."

"As you said, the day of the incident was a day off for the diplomatic embassy. How could the tea set be in disarray on a day off?"

"The tea set must have been put away by the staff going off duty the day before the day off."

"No one will enter the kitchen to use the tea set after this. Is there any need to tidy up the tea set again?"

At this, Tsujimura Kimie's heart was already beating three times faster.

She opened her mouth to say something, but saw Prosecutor Dante answering before her.

"What do you mean no one came in to use the tea set after that? Don't forget that there was a group of visitors on the day of the incident." "Tsujimura Isao, who rarely uses the kitchen, went to get the tea set to entertain us members of the special operations team."

"As a result, the tea sets in the kitchen were no longer neatly arranged, so the witness went to put them away."

The Red Prosecutor gave a crisp and clear reply, even ending with a rhetorical question.

“Do you think that the tea sets on the coffee table when Toshimitsu Tsujimura and Kimie Tsujimura entered the diplomatic embassy…”

"Were they there originally, and not let there by someone else just to accommodate us?"

...Generally speaking, this can be understood.

However, if Tsujimura Isao specifically brought out tea sets to entertain guests, he would not add tea to the teapot.

Is this a bit too abstract? Since you have come from afar, please drink the air.JPG?

Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers with a strange look on his face.

"Why? Dante, your family owns the diplomatic embassy, ​​and you are not allowed to put tea sets as decorations?"

"The diplomatic embassy just likes to place a set of tea sets on the coffee table as a decoration. Does it bother you?"

"For things like this, you only need to ask other diplomatic missions or staff at the diplomatic mission to find out, right?"

"Also, you are also a member of the special operations team. Don't you know whether the tea set was originally on the table?"

(Should I know...?)

Dante blinked and rubbed his silver hair helplessly.

Not to mention, he really didn't know, after all, he was the last one to enter the diplomatic embassy.

When getting off the car, I was observing Dai Yamenduo, who always had a square face.

He really didn't know whether tea sets had been placed on the coffee table as decorations in advance.

Seeing this, the presiding judge shook his head and said immediately.

"It seems that both the defense and the prosecutor have questions about the tea set."

"In this regard, I can tell you two about this issue. According to the testimony of the diplomatic staff..."

"This court can confirm that the tea set was placed on the tea table by the staff when they left work last night."

"When the diplomats are about to use the tea set, they will ask the staff to clean it and add tea."

"So the defense's argument is correct. The tea set does serve as a decoration."

...In other words, the presiding judge also believed that the tea set was not taken out and used by the deceased.

Xiang Yuanguang's eyes were suddenly shocked, and without saying a word, he slammed the table and pointed at Prosecutor Dante in the air.

"Both witnesses mentioned in their testimonies that it was the deceased Tsujimura Isao who saw them come in and asked them to make tea."

"Considering the confidentiality you mentioned earlier, wasn't it specifically to let the others leave to avoid suspicion?"

"Therefore, Tsujimura Isao actually didn't plan to add more tea from the beginning, so no one went to the kitchen at that time, and the tea utensils in the kitchen naturally wouldn't be messed up - - - - -"

"That is to say, the tea set in the kitchen should be [tidy], so Tsujimura Kimie's alibi is not valid. She is quite proud of her identity as a diplomat, how could she do something like this?"

"And it was unnecessary to sort out the tea sets that the staff had already sorted out, so this testimony must have been fabricated by Tsujimura Kimie! Just like the defense claimed before."

"The defense believes that the person who actually poisoned was Tsujimura Kimie, not Tsujimura Toshimitsu! The person that Tsujimura Toshimitsu mentioned earlier was distracted by tea leaves was not Tsujimura Kimie, but himself!"

A strong wind blew at this moment, and immediately Prosecutor Dante's windbreaker moved with the wind.

But he himself seemed to feel nothing about it and stood there motionless.

But his expression was no longer as relaxed as before, and he was a little speechless about this special situation.

Chapter 427: Reversed Mask (15)

"Well, even if the situation is really as you said, the current evidence and information cannot explain why Tsujimura Toshimitsu took the blame for Tsujimura Kimie."

"Virgil, can you tell me why he would perjure himself for the man who killed his son?"

Dante no longer cared about tea sets.

In his opinion, since the excuse for Tsujimura Kimie's absence had been revealed, it would be useless to make up for it.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. It would be better to start from other aspects and find another way to stop Xiang Yuanguang.

But Dante didn't know that when he said this, Tsujimura Toshimitsu, who was sitting in the dock, turned pale.

Lao Deng stood up and spoke loudly, ignoring the obstruction of the bailiff next to him.

"You can't tell me, Lawyer Xiang Yuan, you can't tell me! If you tell anyone, you'll be in trouble!"

Takayoshi Tsujimura looked at his grandfather in surprise, wondering what was wrong with him.

So my father is not your biological son, and Kimie Tsujimura is your biological daughter, right?

Things have come to this point, and you are still speaking for Tsujimura Kimie? Is there something shameful in our family?

The court is a fair place to decide what is right and what is wrong. Is there anything that cannot be said openly?

Regardless of Tsujimura Toshimitsu's objection, Takayoshi Tsujimura, who was both a filial grandson and a filial son, immediately slapped the guardrail of the gallery and stood up!

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, tell me quickly, there is nothing shameful in our family, nothing was said in court! My grandfather is old and confused, I support you!"

Tsujimura Toshimitsu, who had just objected, suddenly paused. He looked up at Tsujimura Takayoshi in the audience.

To be honest, he had the urge to go to the orphanage and adopt a trumpeter.

I'm doing this for your own good, why don't you understand? You really don't know how difficult it is to be a parent!

Hearing his older son's voice, Tsujimura Kimie immediately turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

However, his eyes did not fall on Takayoshi Tsujimura at first, but on Sachiko Katsuragi who was beside him.

(…Why is she here? Sachiko is not a person involved in this case, why?)

The old gossip had no idea that the secret police of the Ministry of Public Security had already figured out the matter of interpersonal relationships, otherwise the court leaflets would not have been sent to Katsuragi Sachiko, who didn't even know who her own mother was.

No matter how angry or mad you were, it all turned into a sigh.

Tsujimura Kimie turned his head away, not looking at Tsujimura Takayoshi and Katsuragi Sachiko, as if he didn't want to see them. Whether it was because of guilt or anger, it was unknown.

Fortunately, Xiang Yuanguang is not a person who likes empathy, and he will not empathize with a criminal who harms innocent people for his own revenge.

He slammed his hands on the table at the defense table, stared at Toshimitsu Tsujimura in the dock and Kimie Tsujimura behind the witness stand, and confessed the truth.

"Of course, it's because as a diplomat, Kimie Tsujimura might know about the Silver Star Special Investigation Team, and I'm worried that the people from the Ministry of Public Security will make a big fuss about it."

"I guess if Kimie Tsujimura's poisoning of four people is considered to be a deliberate attempt to obstruct the Silver Star's investigation and deliberately affect the relationship between this country and the United States, it will not only be Kimie Tsujimura who will suffer."

"Including her son Tsujimura Takayoshi, including her father-in-law Tsujimura Toshimitsu, and even her daughter Katsuragi Sachiko, whom she has never recognized - all of them will be implicated by this."

"Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Tsujimura Toshimitsu feared the consequences of this matter and directly took all the responsibility for this case alone and turned himself in to take the blame for Tsujimura Koue."

This is the truth and possibility that Xiang Yuanguang found out from Tsujimura Toshimitsu's words by using the method of reverse thinking when he met Tsujimura Toshimitsu in the detention center.

Faced with this statement that couldn't be more true, Tsujimura Toshimitsu, who had been refuted many times and no longer had the stubbornness he used to have, could only lower his head and hide his face in the shadows. There was no room for rebuttal now. From the moment Xiang Yuanguang said it in the court, no matter how he refuted it, it was meaningless...

"Really? Grandpa, are you really old and confused? You believe this kind of nonsense?"

Takayoshi Tsujimura was horrified and began to speak in a filial voice.

"If the secret police really act according to this logic, then your taking the blame will not affect the final result, right? If they are arrested, they will be arrested. If they are affected, they will be affected. What difference does it make?"

Being accused in person by his own filial grandson, Tsujimura Toshimitsu raised his head sharply.

"Everyone has the right to say that about me, but you don't! Guishan, I'm doing this for your own good, for your own good. How can you say that to me? I'm a university professor, an educated person!"

"You old thing, your knowledge is useless! It's the Heisei era, why are you still clinging to the old ways of the Showa era?! For my own good? You're not doing this for my own good, you're harming me!"

Takayoshi Tsujimura slapped the guardrail of the gallery again, looking quite grief-stricken.

When he looked at Toshimitsu Tsujimura at this moment, it was just like watching the elderly people in his family who were determined to buy the health products shown on TV. He was speechless to the extreme!

At this time, Tsujimura Kimie's face behind the testimony podium was extremely ugly.

However, to add fuel to the fire, Kogoro Mori also spoke at this moment.

"Mrs. Tsujimura, the commission you gave me is to investigate the dirt on Ms. Katsuragi Sachiko so that she can leave Mr. Takayoshi Tsujimura and put an end to their special relationship."

"Now that it has come to this, and everyone from the Tsujimura family who can come is here, why don't you tell us the real reason why you want to separate Tsujimura Takayoshi and Katsuragi Sachiko?"

Uncle Maori spoke earnestly, as if he felt a little sorry for the chaotic family relationships here.

"Although Katsuragi Sachiko is your biological daughter and Takayoshi Tsujimura is your stepson, they are not truly related by blood. Why do you want to deliberately separate the two?"
