At this time, Kisaki Eri also stood up and said, "The defendant, Iwamatsu Toshio, was arrested by the attached criminal emergency department within 20 minutes of the incident.
Even if one ran at full speed, it would take at least fifteen minutes to get from the Ishigaki family residence, the scene of the murder, to where Iwamatsu Toshio was arrested.
In other words, the defendant must run out of the criminal search range before he can get rid of the murder weapon.
But based on the current situation, it is clearly impossible for the defendant to have sufficient time to escape."
What Kisaki Eri said hit the nail on the head for Kujo Reiko. The reality was that although Iwamatsu Toshio had indeed gone to the Ishigaki family to steal things.
However, neither the current evidence nor the physical evidence proves that Iwamatsu Toshio killed Ishigaki Tadashi. The statements of the two witnesses are merely circumstantial evidence, and the murder weapon, crucially, has not been found.
Judging from the current situation, the two sides have only achieved a draw in their exchanges.
The discussion about the murder weapon didn't last too long. After all, this was a court session, and they couldn't dwell on a question that had no answer.
Soon, the court moved on to the next item.
"The criminal first broke in through the window, and then was discovered by the deceased while looking for a target to steal..."
As Kujo Reiko introduced the situation, the situation at the crime scene's study appeared on the electronic screens hanging in the courtroom and among the jurors.
"Huh?"
Just as the screen shot gradually moved across the room until the desk and the wall behind it were revealed, Kobayashi Sumiko couldn't help but be surprised.
"kindness?"
When the jurors saw Kobayashi Sumiko's expression of discovery at that time, they couldn't help but look at her.
"Huh?"
In such a critical situation, Kobayashi Sumiko suddenly became nervous.
Especially when she looked up and down, she found that everyone in the courtroom was looking at her.
At this moment, Kobayashi Sumiko felt even more uncomfortable. She seemed to be back to the embarrassing situation in elementary school when she was being stared at by everyone.
Although she has become a teacher now, she has to teach in front of dozens of students every day.
But that is when he is facing children and he has enough confidence to teach.
As for now, she was in an unfamiliar environment and had no ability to deal with the case itself. Because of her sudden surprise, everyone's attention was focused on her.
This made her, who was already lacking in confidence, feel uneasy all of a sudden.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
The presiding judge noticed Kobayashi Sumiko's embarrassment and spoke up to help.
"Yes, then I..." Kobayashi Sumiko raised her right hand nervously, like a student raising her hand to answer a question, feeling extremely awkward.
"Go ahead."
When the presiding judge saw Kobayashi Sumiko's reaction, a smile appeared on his old face.
Upon hearing this, Kobayashi Sumiko looked at the screen in front of her and expressed her concern: "I just noticed that the paintings in this room seem to be hung upside down."
"The paintings in the room?"
The presiding judge looked at the screen upon hearing this, and soon the technicians enlarged the painting hanging on the wall on the screen.
It was a landscape painting, but because it was of a lake, the way the painting presented the scene made it difficult to tell which was on top.
"So, what does this have to do with the case?"
Unlike the problem pointed out by Kobayashi Sumiko, whom Xiaolan agreed with, Maori Kogoro on the side was holding his chin with a speechless look on his face.
Soon, after hearing what her assistant said, Kujo Reiko said directly, "During the search, there was no report of the painting being moved."
"The defendant, I don't recall seeing a painting like that," Kisaki Eri said shortly afterward. "This shouldn't be related to the case, right?" a middle-aged man wearing a yellow shirt and gray jacket, sitting to Kobayashi Sumiko's left, commented, looking at the screen.
"That's what I mean."
"Suddenly asking what a painting is about."
"As you said, does this painting have anything to do with the case?"
Although the presiding judge's attitude was different from that of the others, his words made Kobayashi Sumiko feel a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Kobayashi Sumiko's face flushed with embarrassment: "The painting doesn't seem to have anything to do with it."
Shiratori, who was standing by, started to worry about Kobayashi Sumiko when she was questioned and looked embarrassed.
Tang Ze next to him noticed this and began to encourage Bai Niao: "Hurry up, it's your turn to show off."
"But you are not allowed to speak casually while listening." Bai Niao said hesitantly.
"You're a criminal."
Tang Ze said angrily, "Just tell him that the police will investigate further and help Mr. Xiaolin out.
No one will care about this kind of speech.
Hurry up! Teacher Kobayashi is in a difficult situation right now, and as a man, it's time for you to step up!
As if moved by Tang Ze's words, Bai Niao stood up and faced everyone's gaze and said, "Regarding the question of whether the painting is hung upside down, although there is no way to confirm whether it is related.
But for us criminals, no details can be ignored. Thank you to this juror for raising issues that we did not discover. We will investigate the issues with the painting later.
Please put this issue aside for now and continue with the judging."
