"Hmph, his opponent is the 'Madonna of prosecutors,' Kujo Reiko. I hope he doesn't lose face in front of the jury."
When Kogoro Mouri heard his daughter say that she came because she was worried about Eri Kisaki, he immediately became arrogant and tough.
"So, this is a showdown between the 'Undefeated Queen', Attorney Eri Kisaki, and the 'Goddess of the Prosecuting World', Prosecutor Kujo?"
After hearing the conversation between the two, Tang Ze raised his eyebrows with interest and said, "And the outcome of this duel will be judged by Mr. Kobayashi. This is truly a "luxury lineup."
"For you, this is probably a trial you absolutely cannot miss, right?"
Huiyuan looked at Conan and smiled and said, "Then go with them. I will help you get through to the principal."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Conan said happily after hearing what Haibara said.
Huibara waved her hand without saying anything. After saying goodbye to Tang Ze and others, she went to find the three little ones and reunite with the principal.
A group of people who seemed to meet by chance but were actually destined to meet each other walked towards the court together.
Tang Ze had already read about the case to be tried in the files.
The first public trial of the "real estate company president murder case" officially began with the presiding judge and jurors taking their seats.
It was obvious that all the jurors were a little nervous in the face of this serious atmosphere, but few of the audience were nervous.
Well...except for three or four passers-by, the rest are Tang Ze's gang. They are used to this kind of atmosphere, so naturally there is no tension at all.
"The court is now in session!"
A white-haired, bespectacled presiding judge opened the court session and immediately turned to Kisaki Eri's side. "First, please invite the defendant to step forward!"
Accompanied by two criminals on his left and right, Toshio Iwamatsu stood up and walked towards the dock.
Seeing Iwamatsu Toshio standing still, the presiding judge turned to look at Kujo Reiko and said, "Now, please ask the prosecutor to begin reading the contents of the indictment."
"yes!"
Upon hearing the voice, Kujo Reiko stood up and opened the folder in her hand and said, "The defendant, Iwamatsu Toshio, smashed the window of the study of Mr. Ishigaki Tadashi, the president of a real estate company located at 4-chome-5, Beika-cho, in order to steal.
Later, while breaking in and searching for someone to steal inside the house, he was discovered by Mr. Tadashi Ishigaki who had returned home.
The two men scuffled, and then stabbed the victim in the abdomen with the knife they were carrying."
"I object!"
At this moment, Kisaki Eri interrupted Kujo Reiko and asked directly, "The prosecutor just mentioned that Iwamatsu Toshio was carrying a knife. Has the murder weapon been identified?"
"No, the whereabouts of the murder weapon have not been found so far." Although Kujo Reiko knew it was disadvantageous, she still answered truthfully.
"Then please delete the explanation about the murder weapon," the presiding judge said.
"I understand." Kujo Reiko nodded without changing her expression.
Although it was just a preliminary cry, the tense atmosphere and the sharp confrontation made Kobayashi Sumiko, who had never seen such a scene before, couldn't help but marvel at it.
Xiaolan also clasped her hands together happily and whispered, "You are worthy of being my mother. You are really amazing!"
"It's still early." Maori Kogoro folded his arms and said, "The fun has just begun!"
Despite the brief setback, Kujo Reiko didn't show any expression, but continued to read the document, "The police found the defendant with the victim's blood on his body near the crime scene.
After investigation and questioning, the defendant also admitted his crime.
Therefore, the defendant is charged with murder under Article 199 of the Penal Code.”
Looking at Iwamatsu Toshio, who was gritting his teeth, the presiding judge remained calm and asked, "Does the defendant admit to this charge?"
Iwamatsu Toshio was furious when he heard this, but he finally suppressed his anger and looked at the presiding judge and argued vigorously, "I really didn't kill anyone. I am innocent!"
When he said the last sentence, Toshio Iwamatsu even shouted it out, and the loud voice scared the jurors who were participating in the trial for the first time.
Even the audience were whispering and talking in low voices. For a moment, the quiet courtroom was filled with chaotic discussions.
Only Reiko Kujo laughed after hearing Toshio Iwamatsu's roar.
"So what is the defense lawyer's opinion?" the presiding judge looked at Eri Kisaki and asked.
"I agree with the defendant." Hibiki Eri stood up and stated her position: "Regarding the indictment of murder, I believe the defendant is not guilty!"
Although Kisaki Eri knew that Iwamatsu Toshio might have concealed the relationship between him and Ishigaki Tadayu, the two were not strangers, and even his choice of targets was not random.
But Kisaki Eri still chose to respect Iwamatsu Toshio's opinion, insisted on his choice, and also expressed her attitude.
Kisaki Eri sat down and her eyes met with Kujo Reiko who was sitting opposite her. Both of them had a faint and calm smile on their faces, and the feeling of confrontation became more and more acute.
And Kisaki Eri's remarks also caused a slight commotion among the jurors. After all, in their opinion, the police had already caught him, which meant that the outcome of this murder case was almost certain.
The defendant's lawyer actually stated that the defendant was not guilty, which was tantamount to completely overturning the court trial and the police search results.
Even if they are not professionals, they know how difficult it is.
