Wrongful Conviction 3
[This is really a scandal] Ishii Kazuki narrowed his eyes to hide the mockery in his eyes. Everyone in the meeting was still immersed in this big news. No one noticed that he was slacking off and contacting Yu Kunran [The murder weapon that had been submitted to the court appeared in another case, haha]
If the evidence was not properly kept and the wooden warehouse was leaked out, then regardless of whether it was an internal thief or the management's dereliction of duty, a large number of related people would be imprisoned. However, Ishii Kazuki knew very well that the truth surrounding the wooden warehouse was far more than that.
That was a major incident that was enough to trample the dignity of Japan's judicial system and police force on the ground.
[How many people do you think will apologize this time?] Tong Xiang Wang responded softly, [After all, the murder weapon in Case 210——]
"What did you say!" Officer Megure, who had been on the phone eagerly confirming something with the person on the other end, was so angry that he could hardly control his voice. Ishii Kazuki's ears were forced to accept this baptism of wind and rain, and he felt that they were almost broken. "There is no record, only a written document, and even the prosecutor refused to show it? Administrator, the person who was assassinated was the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. We must conduct a full investigation of all the physical evidence. Administrator, can't you think of another way!"
Seeing Inspector Megure's momentum gradually declining, everyone present could guess what kind of answer he would give. "Inspector Megure," Hagiwara Kenji, who brought the news, was the first to ask, "What do you mean by no record?"
"As you know," Officer Megure said in a deep voice, "due to the continued appeal by the criminal in Case 210, the murder weapon evidence that should have been kept by the Metropolitan Police Department has been retained by the court in a certain trial. I just contacted the management officer and asked him to coordinate with the prosecution to retrieve it, but..."
He sighed deeply, frowning, "The prosecutor said that due to personnel changes, no records were kept, and they refused to provide..."
"There are more problems," Ishii Kazuki raised his phone, "I just asked a colleague to check the archives." Fortunately, when the intelligent system was implemented, the relevant files of Case 210 had been entered into the computer, otherwise Chiba would have to look for them until the end of time, "No."
"What's missing?" Maori Kogoro didn't react for a while, "What..."
"Documents on evidence transfer?" Edogawa Conan reacted much faster, but seeing Ishii Kazuki nodding and shaking his head, a more horrifying guess came to his mind, "No... not only that, could it be that even the information on the murder weapon itself..."
"Bingo!" Ishii Kazuki made a pistol gesture, but there was no joking in his eyes, "You guessed it right. There is no description of the murder weapon itself. There is only a report speculating that the murder weapon is an M9 pistol. But no matter how I look through it, I can't find it..."
"A description of the murder weapon itself."
"In that case," Mao Lilan hesitantly reasoned along this line of thought, "this murder weapon may not have existed from the beginning?"
"No," Hagiwara Kenji smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It definitely exists, but the police have probably never found it. And judging by the situation of the prosecutors, it is very likely that they are aware of this fact."
In that case, a murder weapon that was never found was presented as physical evidence in court.
Although only the initial trial presented physical evidence, and the rest were all written documents, it has been nineteen years.
[——It didn’t exist from the beginning.] Tongxiang Wang smoothed the wrinkles on the white paper in his hand, and turned it over slightly. A beautiful little fox appeared on his palm [Really, pitiful]
"The criminal in case 210 is preparing for his sixth appeal," Ishii Kazuki folded his hands on the table and suggested in a casual tone that did not match his solemn expression, "Let's go meet him."
