People actually have a strong ability to adapt.

At first, I didn't dare to watch the footage of the autopsy report, but later I forced myself to finish reading all the content.

This is also a big improvement for jurors who have never been exposed to these things.

Of course, this is also because they have not seen the real thing directly. In addition, those who are selected as jurors are responsible and have a certain level of ideological awareness.

So the jurors quickly finished reading the autopsy report.

The presiding judge nodded upon seeing this and continued with the next step.

"So from now on, we will enter the stage of listening to witness testimony."

As the presiding judge finished speaking, a fat woman walked over.

According to the introduction, the other party is named Hara Yukie, now 66 years old, and is the housekeeper hired by the deceased Ishigaki Tadashi.

"Ms. Yuan, you have been working in the victim's home as a maid, helping with cleaning, right?"

Reiko Kujo walked up to Hara Yukie and asked.

"That's right. It's been five years." Hara Yukie nodded.

"Then please explain what you saw at the time of the incident."

After Kujo Reiko spoke, Hara Yukie looked up and recalled thoughtfully, "I remember that day I was vacuuming the room on the second floor as usual.

Suddenly I felt like there was some sound coming from downstairs.

Because the master told me that he would come back after playing golf and having dinner, I thought it might be my illusion.

But what I didn’t expect was that when I finished cleaning the room and went downstairs, I suddenly heard a noise in the room.

I thought it was the master who came back, so I went to the room to check what was going on.

But when I walked over, I found the French window open, and when I turned around, I saw the master lying in a pool of blood.

"I've finished asking questions." After saying that, Reiko Kujo turned around and returned to her seat.

The presiding judge then looked at Eri Kisaki and asked, "Defense attorney, do you have any questions?"

"This witness said that when he walked to the crime scene, he only saw the French windows open, right?"

Kisaki Eri stood up and said, "This means that when this witness went to the room where the murder took place, he actually didn't see the criminal or the murder process, right?"

"Yes." Hara Yukie nodded and answered truthfully: "When I went to the room, I saw the master lying on the ground bleeding."

After getting the answer she wanted, Hibiki Eri raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and then said to the jurors, "Dear jurors, the testimony of this witness can only indicate that she was the first to discover the case.

However, she did not see the scene of the dispute, fight, and even murder between the victim and the defendant that the prosecutor had just mentioned.

I ask all jurors to bear this in mind."

Kisaki Eri's righteous words made the jurors unconsciously agitated, as if they were intimidated by the other party's momentum.

As for Kobayashi Sumiko, she stared blankly at Kisaki Eri, obviously shocked by her words.

The commotion died down in a matter of moments, and then a middle-aged man approached. … According to Kujo Reiko, his name was Tsukano Hiroshi, and he was the younger brother of the victim's deceased wife.

He is also the general manager of the company under Ishigaki Tadafu.

"I heard that you were visiting the Ishigaki family residence on the day of the murder for work, and that's how you encountered the murder?"

Kujo Reiko looked at Tsukano Kyō and asked, "Could you please describe what happened that day in detail?"

"certainly."

Tsukano Hiroshi nodded and said, "The reason I went to visit is because there is a business deal that urgently requires the president to make a final decision.

But who knew that as soon as I arrived at the president's house, I heard Yuan Xiao's scream coming from the room.

Feeling that the situation was suspicious, I immediately ran into the house and asked what was going on.

Then I saw the president fall to the ground. I went forward to check what happened and my hands were covered in blood.

I felt the situation was not good, so I immediately asked Miss Yuan to call an ambulance."

At this point, Tsukano Kyou's eyes filled with tears and he said sadly: "Dear judges, President Ishigaki is the only family member I can rely on in this world after my sister passed away.

I beg you all to not let the murderer who took his life go free, and punish that heinous criminal with the death penalty!"

Seeing Tsukano Hiro's tearful and sorrowful expression, one of the jurors felt the same way and nodded unconsciously, obviously agreeing with what the other party said.

"Dear jurors, if there is anything you don't understand or would like to ask about this case, please feel free to ask."

Looking at the jurors around him, the presiding judge was afraid that they would not be able to relax for the first time and that they had questions piled up in their hearts but did not dare to speak out, so he took the initiative to speak and comfort them.

"Then let me ask you a question."

After this sentence was spoken, a burly man in a blue suit who was sitting next to Kobayashi Sumiko raised his hand to signal.

After obtaining the presiding judge's consent, the other party said directly: "I just heard the statements from both sides, saying that the murder weapon has not been found by the police yet?

If so, does this mean that the criminal escaped with the murder weapon after committing the murder?

Why hasn't the murder weapon been found yet?"

"We thought so too," Kujo Reiko stood up and replied, "and then we also searched the escape route, but unfortunately, we didn't find the murder weapon."
