Chapter 103 Chapter 103 Only Mom and I don’t know, right?
396
Prosecutor Akechi feels that Kamohashi Ron is going to perish along with the entire court, and he is serious about it, but after all, the Blood Internship Case was also a wrongful conviction on their part, and he can only say that it is understandable that Kamohashi Ron is getting stressed out about it.
But can the whole thing be brought back to the original trial?
Let's put Elliot's matter aside for now. The focus now is on Alice Moriarty's matter, which has not been completely resolved. He has blocked Robin's motive, but he has not finished debating with Robin on the process and results.
In particular, Robin himself mentioned whether there is more evidence to prove Alice's crime, especially since some of the evidence is too old and involves too many people. Although it is clear that she might have done it, and Alice's own confession also shows this, it is obvious that there are too many cases where the prosecution was not decided because of insufficient actual evidence.
Prosecutor Mingzhi reiterated, "There's enough evidence to convict Alice. I hope the lawyer won't dwell on this."
"So what are the consequences? For example, in the uninhabited island case I was present at, Alice's original intention was to have Kamohashi-kun kill Elliot without knowing or intending to kill him. But as we know, neither Mr. Elliot nor Kamohashi-kun were harmed at all," Robin asked. "Did the prosecutors consider this as well?"
"Of course the prosecution has considered this matter, so the conviction on the uninhabited island is only for restricting personal freedom, and the rest are all attempts." Prosecutor Mingzhi responded.
At this point, the judge was also a little surprised: "Uh... Speaking of which, why is it just a restriction of personal freedom in this case? I thought there would at least be fraud involved."
"Although we prosecutors don't want to admit it, Alice certainly didn't commit fraud," Prosecutor Akechi sighed. "After all, Kamonohashi Ron can be considered a witness on this point. She promised him that if she lost, she would make him the head of the M family, and now he has."
Although the M family is essentially dead in name only, given Kamohashi Ron's personality, it is impossible for him to allow the members of the M family to continue to commit crimes and do evil. This is inconsistent with Ron's own principles.
But on the bright side, the era of hatred between Holmes and the Moriarty family also ended with Kamohashi Ron's generation.
...Anyway, they probably won't have the next generation. Milo Alice and others are in prison, Winter is on the run, and as for Kamohashi Ron, although he has never admitted it, everyone thinks that he will probably spend the rest of his life with Isshiki Toumaru.

Then, Prosecutor Mingzhi paused for a moment as a thought struck him. "Of course," he continued, "we originally classified Eli Moriarty's case on that uninhabited island as an accident. But since the defendant has raised a new possibility, and it makes sense, we won't ignore it. However, the trial regarding Mr. Elliot won't begin until a few days later, so we need to re-investigate."
Kamohashi Ron tutted, seemingly dissatisfied with Prosecutor Akechi's statement, but he didn't refute much. He simply said, "But from now on, Eli Moriarty's case has nothing to do with this trial. Although I'm only a witness, I don't recommend wasting time on this matter."
"Is it really unrelated?" Alice asked. "That case happened on an uninhabited island, so it should be considered part of the case related to me, right? Witness, you just don't want to be associated with this matter right away because it involves Uncle Elliot after all."
Isshiki Todumaru wanted to refute something, but found that Alice's statement made sense.
At this time, the judge coughed twice and said, "Defendant, although your statement is reasonable, your trial is not over yet. Whether this case is truly an accident or there is indeed a hidden secret as you said, it has nothing to do with you. After all, you are not being prosecuted in this case. So let's return to your trial. Can the prosecution produce more evidence to convict Alice? Even if she is a minor, the kind that cannot reduce her sentence?"
If not, considering Alice's minor status, the judge will really have to give her a lighter sentence because she is still a minor.
At this time, Prosecutor Mingzhi took out a dolphin pendant and said, "Judge, yes, and we also have relevant witnesses."
Judge: "So there's a new witness besides Kamo no Hashi? Let's bring that witness to the stand."
"Then I will respectfully obey your command."
398
Prosecutor Akechi brought in a new witness. Just as Kamohashi Ron had guessed, the person killed by Mari Kazama in self-defense was not actually dead. The corpse was just a disguise found by Mari Kazama.
The judge was silent for a moment, then asked: "Witness, which charge do you want to testify for the defendant?"
The witness thought for a moment, then looked at Alice, then at Kamo no Hashiro, and finally said firmly, "The smuggling in Tokyo, Japan some time ago was the work of the M family, and I want to prove that it was connected to Alice Moriarty."
Robin: “?!”
Alice: "Yeah, I'm a little surprised too."
Kamonohashi: "According to our investigation, Winter should be in charge of the smuggling-related routes." Does it have anything to do with Alice, or is it that as a witness who was once the killer of Marie Kazama, he has some evidence that they don't know about.
The witness was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Although I don't know who is in charge of the M family's smuggling route you mentioned, I want to make it clear that the smuggling route has nothing to do with the M family. It must be Alice Moriarty's independent smuggling route. And it must be an independent route, right? Otherwise, where did she get the money to live on after faking her death, and even to go to school in Blue? Could she have gone to work somewhere else? In the case that she might be targeted by other members of the M family or someone she wanted to target?"
Robin: "That's not necessarily true. Alice is a minor after all. There should be kind people willing to take her in, right? And didn't Elliot fake his own death before? Could the money she got after faking her death also be ill-gotten gains? That's not right, is it?"
Prosecutor Wise: "Mr. Elliot had a lot of people helping him when he faked his death. We actually investigated this."
Kamohashi Ron's expression wasn't very good: "A lot of people are helping us, but only Romi's mom and I don't know about it, right?"
Prosecutor Mingzhi: “…”
I'm sorry, Mr. Elliot, he didn't mean it, and although he may sue you soon, he really didn't mean it.
Besides, Mr. Elliot, can't you learn from your son in this regard? It seems that he has basically not concealed anything about Isshiki Dudu Maru?
399
The witness seemed to agree with Robin's statement: "I'm sorry, it seems I was just assuming things earlier, but I'm certain that the smuggling ring is connected to Alice, and I have concrete evidence... It's this hotel."
Kamohashi Ron: "It's this hotel. I still remember it."
That was his and Isshiki Totomaru's first case, so of course he would never forget it. After he finished playing the violin there, the hotel owner at the time enthusiastically asked him if he needed a recommendation for a couple's hotel.
Then this unlucky boss was arrested for participating in smuggling. He accidentally confessed everything when he realized that the police were coming.
Isshiki Totomaru: "So it's here, but I only remember that the owner of this hotel is indeed suspected of smuggling, but..."
There is no evidence to prove that it is related to the M family or Alice, right?
At this time, the witness took out the dolphin pendant, which actually contained a recording, and said, "I know that evidence is everything in court. My testimony alone is not convincing, but I have evidence."
Judge: "Well, I see. Then please let the witness disclose the evidence to us."
It was a recording, in which one could clearly hear the conversation between the hotel owner and someone. The person on the other end was rather silent, but one could still hear responses like "hmm" and some humming. The entire recording was indeed the hotel owner talking about smuggling and dividing the spoils.
Robin: "Isn't that right? This only proves that the hotel owner was involved in smuggling. As far as I know, the owner was sent for investigation a long time ago and is now in prison to reform. There is no mention of the M family or Alice at all."
"Don't be so quick to refute, Lawyer Robin." Prosecutor Akechi, apparently anticipating Robin's rebuttal, crossed his arms and said, "The reason we say this is connected to the M family is because, according to the prosecution's technological testing, those 'hmm' responses belong to Blade."
Blade is a killer from the M family and he takes orders from Alice. This has just been proven.
"I also want to thank Lawyer Robin and Alice. If you hadn't just proved that Blade did follow Alice's orders, I would have been embarrassed to accuse him of this."

Alice just smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, even someone like me knows that it's best to tell the truth after going to court. Besides, I already know that none of you would be partial to others and bend the law, so the matter of Uncle Elliot..."
Isshiki Todumaru: "Isn't this matter over yet?!"
Kamohashi Ron sighed, "I've figured it out now. Alice won't let it go unless I drag that bastard dad of mine to court. But, Alice..."
Alice tilted her head. "What's wrong, Kamo no Hashi-kun?"
"If he is still proven not guilty in court, what else are you going to do?"
Are you still planning to continue your revenge...?
"Then I'll give up." Alice said, "After all, as Isshiki-sensei said, I can't actually bring happiness to others. I can only be the one who destroys their happiness."
Although Isshiki-sensei comforted her that he had once given her mother happiness, that was all he had given her...
