Chapter 108 Chapter 108 Let’s be lifelong partners…
The situation inexplicably reversed, because Prosecutor Akechi really couldn't think of any explanation to prove this, and Kamohashi Ron's counter-question made sense - since it had already been set in motion, why should it be set as a mechanism that could kill Eli Moriarty if there was no motive to kill.
Wouldn't it be better to change it into a completely harmless mechanism at this time?
"If the prosecution wants to say that Elliot did this for my sake, then the charge against Elliot should not be manslaughter, but murder."
The judge was stunned for a moment, as if it was the first time he had seen this kind of defense. For a moment, he could only recall some lawyers who, after accepting the commission, promised to sentence the client to twenty years, and then increased the sentence even if the client's crime was not that serious.
Of course, Kamohashi Ron and Elliot couldn't have wanted to do that.
Therefore, the judge just sighed in his heart that this family situation is really a loving father and filial son. The more you chew the melon of the M family, the more delicious it becomes.
Unlike the judge who was completely unprepared, Prosecutor Akechi remained highly alert at this time - he had seen too many different types of defense attorneys and soon understood what the Kamonohashi Theory was.
Retreat to advance.
If he truly admitted to murder, he'd be set up. Even if he truly admitted to murder, he couldn't fabricate a motive when Elliot hadn't… Wait? Really no motive? Prosecutor Akechi suddenly looked at Kamohashi Ron. Elliot and Kamohashi Ron had a close father-son relationship. It wasn't impossible that he'd deliberately killed Eli Moriarty for his son's sake…
"You remind me, Kamobashi-kun, that the defendant is not completely without motive."
The judge was stunned for a moment: "Huh?" No, is the sentence really too heavy?
"Prosecutor Akechi, you're trying to say it's for me, right?" Kamohashi Ron retorted. "That's completely unnecessary. My father is certainly aware of my abilities. It's fair to say that many of my techniques were passed down to me by my father."
"Of course I know that, but when faced with a bad guy who wants to hurt his son, an angry father will do anything, right?" Prosecutor Mingzhi asked back.
"I have objections."
The one who spoke this time was Isshiki Totomaru.
As someone sitting in the paralegal's seat, the judge must of course show the other party sufficient respect. "Officer Isise, what do you want to say?"
"There was live surveillance footage of that moment, right? Was it on the video? Did Mr. Elliot show any signs of anger?"
Prosecutor Mingzhi: “…”
417
Prosecutor Akechi's motive was completely refuted. The judge, accepting Isshiki Totomaru's statement and re-examining the surveillance footage, stated seriously, "Mr. Elliot showed no signs of anger. The prosecution's later allegations are unfounded. Mr. Elliot's conviction is likely manslaughter, or, as Kamonohashi Ron suggested, an accident. Furthermore, if the prosecution cannot offer a rebuttal to the attorney's case, Eli Moriarty's murder will be closed as an accident."
"Anyway, the defendants are all innocent, so it doesn't matter to you, Prosecutor Akechi." Isshiki Todumaru probably remembered what Prosecutor Akechi had said before and said it back.
Prosecutor Mingzhi: “…”
He looked uncertainly at Kamohashi Ron in the defense seat, then at Isshiki Totomaru who suddenly looked sarcastic.
It has been confirmed that Officer Isshiki was led astray by Kamohashi Ron.
And the final breakthrough... Knowing that the prosecutor looked at the defendant, Elliot just shook his head and said, "I never said that I activated that mechanism to kill people. It's better to say that if I hadn't kept emphasizing that I didn't know if Eli Moriarty would be killed by that mechanism?"
Of course, Prosecutor Akechi wouldn't say something as silly as, "You didn't activate the mechanism, so why didn't you know?" If he did, Kamohashi Ron would immediately say he was asking a leading question. After thinking for a moment, he said, "But Mr. Elliot, why did you activate that mechanism when you left?"
"Isn't this obvious?" Elliot looked at Prosecutor Mingzhi with a rather puzzled look. "That mechanism is right on the path my precious son and I must take. How can I watch Lun fall into the trap without moving it?"
"In fact, activating that mechanism protected me, Toto, and Hummingbird," said Kamohashi Ron.
The judge said: "If the prosecution has no rebuttal, please do not delay. If the prosecution still has evidence proving the defendant's manslaughter, please produce it immediately. Otherwise, I will close the case as the original accident."
Prosecutor Mingzhi: “…”
Judge: "Oh, by the way, the defense is asking the prosecution to prove that the defendant's tampering with the device was related to the victim's death. Although the device caused the victim's death, if the prosecution cannot prove that the defendant's tampering with the device caused the victim's death, then the prosecution's argument will not hold water. After all, it is also possible that the victim's own improper operation was the cause."
Alice, who had been listening in on the situation, sighed helplessly because she was the accuser after all.
It's a complete loss.

Prosecutor Akechi suffered his first ever defeat in a case, but he didn't think it mattered. After all, losing to Kamohashi Ron wasn't unfair. It just made him feel uneasy when he saw Kamohashi Ron's name on witnesses or exhibits in court later on, which wasn't something he should be thinking about. However, he was indeed very curious -
"So, Mr. Elliot did move the mechanism, didn't he?"
"Shouldn't it be moved?" said Kamohashi Ron.
"So what exactly is the situation? Did Elliot really kill for you as I guessed? Or was it just an accident? Or did Mr. Elliot commit manslaughter?"
"You're asking too many questions. As a prosecutor, isn't your job just to follow the court's decision?" Kamohashi Ron looked quite confused. At this time, Isshiki Todumaru waved to him, but Kamohashi Ron left without even looking at Prosecutor Akechi.
Knowing the prosecutor: "..."
Haha, love brain.
At this time, Prosecutor Kazama, who was passing by, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You'll get used to it. Kamonohashi Ron's temper has improved a lot. When I knew him, every word he said was full of thorns."
"I still don't know whether Mr. Elliot was guilty of manslaughter or if it was just an accident," Prosecutor Akechi said with a tut. "I have a feeling Kamohashi Ron knows something, but he's keeping his mouth shut."
"I know about this, too." Kazama Jasmine said, "But I won't tell you anything... It's definitely not a simple accident."
Eli Moriarty committed suicide.
"...Suicide?!" Isshiki Totsumaru was a little shocked. "But Eli Moriarty's suicide... ah, I see. He saw my uncle activating those mechanisms, right? And my uncle was indeed planning to activate them so that no one would be harmed?"
"But the plan to truly harm Alice won't be accomplished," Kamohashi Ron said. "I didn't expect Alice to have another plan behind this one. However, before arriving on that uninhabited island, I'd already encountered a case of someone using a mechanism to commit suicide and then frame someone else. It's hundreds of years too early for her to defeat me with a decryption scheme."
"So that's why she thought of dragging you into court?" asked Isshiki Todumaru.
"I have to admit, her idea is good, but I have more experience in court than she does," Kamohashi Ron said. "Speaking of which, I always feel like I've forgotten someone about the M family..."
"Winter, Winter hasn't been arrested yet?"
"No, not her... Milo was sentenced, Alice was sentenced and is under strict supervision, Eli committed suicide, and Theo is also in prison. Who on earth did I forget..."
Tiger, who was still debating with another prosecutor in court: Are you polite?
419
"Ahem, everyone, I have something to announce. Lun and I are officially together." Isshiki Totumaru was a little shy when he first announced their relationship, but everyone present was busy after hearing it. Even the communication expert was a little confused.
"Haven't you even met the parents? Are you finally willing to publicly announce your secret relationship, which everyone knows about?"
Then, he thought of something and said:
"Oh, by the way, that unlucky smuggling boss in prison said he still remembers the number of the love hotel, and you can stay there if you need him. He also reported that it was also a smuggling base, and he really hopes to reunite with his good brother in prison."
Isshiki Totomaru: "..."
It has become overtime!
Kamo no Hashiro: "I said I had to go back and continue doing the emotional live broadcast..."
"Really? Isshiki, you and Mr. Kamo are going to go back and do a live emotional broadcast." Amamiya suddenly brought out a pile of materials. "These are part of the publicity materials for the Metropolitan Police Department this year. I'm leaving it up to you and Mr. Kamo. Oh, and reporter Monji is here and wants to do an interview. Isshiki, you're a detective now, so keep up the good work and spread the word. After all, this is the mission assigned to you by the higher-ups."
Isshiki Todumaru: "I feel like I'm totally working overtime!"
Kamohashi Ron complained: "Ah, can't you just quit the company? I can definitely support you."
"That won't work. Just like Lun doesn't want to give up his career as a detective, I also want to stay a police officer." Isshiki Todumaru said, "But I think meeting Lun is the luckiest thing in the world for me."
"……Me too."
"Why didn't I notice that Mr. Kamohashi blushed so easily before?" Officer Amamiya glanced at Kamohashi Ron in confusion, then returned to his post. Not long after, in Kamohashi Apartment, the barrage of comments were alive again in the live broadcast room, while Kamohashi Ron continued to read the script in his almost dead voice:
"Hello, Yaya..."
However, this time, Isshiki Totsumuru was completely squeezed together with Kamohashi Ron and appeared in the live broadcast room together.
Let’s be lifelong partners who will never be separated.
