Life in Tokyo as a lawyer

A certain game planner Yusaku Kudo, who didn't want to be named, sneezed again inexplicably at this time, and was wondering if he should take some cold medicine when he went back.

"Okay, it seems that you basically understand, so how did the victim get killed?"

"Two were strangled and one had his throat slit with a sharp object."

The judge nodded when he heard this: "That's right, that's the end of the question, and the trial of this case will start soon.

Prosecutor Charles, please tell us what was the murder weapon in this case? "

Hearing this, the prosecutor standing opposite nodded: "The murder weapon in this case is two long strips of white cloth and a fruit knife for cutting fruit.

Both of these things have been found at the scene of the crime. The white cloth that strangled two of the deceased was on the body of the deceased, and the other fruit knife used to kill the third deceased was also next to the body of the deceased.

After our preliminary identification, it can be determined that these items are the murder weapons that caused the death of the three deceased. "

"Okay, this court accepts these evidences."

After the judge's voice finished speaking, Tokiwa Sogo looked at his court records, and these two things were also added to the evidence column.

White cloth and fruit knife.

Dai Machiko, who had completed the entire novice tutorial, turned to look at Sogo Tokipan: "Lawyer Tokipan, what should we do next?"

Although this is not a real court, I feel that the pressure on myself is much greater than usual in court. After all, if I lose this game, not only myself, but 50 lives will be lost.

Especially now that I am going to court without any preparation, I am even more panicked.

Tokiwa Shogo was a little calmer: "Let's adapt to the situation! You can't miss any information. At present, the information given by this game is still very little, and you need to continue to obtain information.

Anyway, according to the game setting, the defendant was wronged. In this case, there must be loopholes in the prosecutor's evidence, as long as we find the loopholes. "

Now I can only wait for the game to give me information, otherwise, I don't have any evidence or information in my hand now, it can be said that my eyes are smeared.

In reality, I am very sure before going to court every time, and even have the evidence for the decisive victory. This time I came up without any preparation.

"Okay, this court is now calling witnesses.

First of all, let's listen to what the defendant, Ms. Sarah, said? "

As soon as the judge finished speaking, someone brought a woman in a nun's clothes to the court.

After the nun came up, she looked at Sogo Tokiwa pitifully, with extraordinarily complicated emotions in her eyes, as if there were admiration, asking for advice, etc., which fit the setting of the childhood sweetheart in the background.

Sougo Tokiwa coughed a little bit, and I have to say that the game modeling is pretty good, and what this person does is no different from a real person.

In particular, the defendant's sister is really beautiful, a white woman who fits the aesthetics of Asians, especially in some places, she is extra large, and she is wearing a nun's uniform in court.

After going to court and still looking at you so pitifully, it is impossible for you to say that your emotions do not fluctuate.

Some game manufacturers in Japan really understand the player community.

But I still have to complain. This dress is neat and looks like a girl who just came back from vacation. Are the prison conditions in England in the 16th century so good?

"Then, Ms. Sarah, as a nun, why did you appear near the deceased's house?"

When Sarah heard this, she quickly said: "I'm here to find my sister, and my sister is Ann, the maid of that family."

Upon hearing this, the prosecutor immediately said: "According to what I know, as a younger sister, you were abandoned by your family at the church gate since you were young.

You didn't find out who your parents and sister were until you became an adult. As a child who was abandoned when you were young, you should hate your sister who was not abandoned, right?You wouldn't be abandoned without her. "

"No, God teaches us to love the world, and I'm happy in church now, and I don't hate my sister."

The prosecutor heard this and said: "Really? But according to what I know, you have a distant rich relative who is about to die, so he wants to leave the property to you and your sister.

If your sister dies, all the property will be yours. You have sufficient motives to kill people for a large amount of property. "

When Sarah heard this, she said quickly, "No, I don't know anything about property. I've never even heard of it."

"Do you really not know? Or do you want to hide it on purpose..."

Tokiwa Shogo slapped the table at this time: "No, please ask the other prosecutor to show evidence that the defendant knew about this matter, instead of fabricating it out of thin air. This obviously has nothing to do with this case."

Upon hearing this, Prosecutor Charles continued: "Then I would like to ask, did the defendant go to the deceased's house that day for any business?

According to the clues we got, the deceased as the maid had just received a letter about the property from a distant relative the day before, and you, as the younger sister, would appear near the crime scene the next day!

And you said just now that your purpose was to find your sister. Apart from the matter of property, what else would make sisters like you who have been separated since childhood meet each other.

It is clear that you are trying to seize that lucrative property, Your Honor, the motive of this case is already obvious. "

206. George

Sister Sarah had no choice but to explain why she was looking for her sister: "It was my sister who said she had something to do with me, so I went there.

And when I went, no one opened the door after knocking on the door, so I went back directly. "

"Excuse me, is there any evidence for what you said?"

When Sarah heard this, she explained in a panic: "...I went alone without anyone accompanying me, but after knocking on the door, no one opened the door, so I went back."

Hearing this, Sougo Tokiwa objected and said, "No, does Prosecutor Charles have any evidence to prove that the defendant went there that day for property?

Was it just a letter found in the deceased's home?You have no evidence to prove that the defendant received the letter, and you have no way to prove that the defendant knew about the property.

Therefore, there is no way for the defendant to have a motive for killing. "

Prosecutor Charles replied confidently after hearing this: "These should be things you can prove, right? As a lawyer, you should prove that the defendant did not obtain this information, right?"

Otherwise, how can the defendant be proved innocent?If you cannot prove it, the defendant's motive for the crime is very clear. "

???

Sougo Tokiwa was full of black question marks when he heard this. Instead of proving that the defendant is guilty, you asked me to find evidence to prove that your inference is problematic.

Sogo Tokiwa was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this is England in the 18th century, not the 21st century, let alone the inference of innocence, England in this era is black and black, with judicial corruption, social chaos, and low-level workers His life is even worse than that of ants.

It was said that it was the era when the Great Empire was about to become the hegemon of the world, but in fact it was very dark, especially after the industrial revolution began.

Hamburgers were invented for workers because of their high calorie content and quick taste.

The purpose is to save workers' meal time and allow workers to have more time to work.

If this game is 100% authentic, is it possible to bribe judges in England, where the judiciary is corrupt?

Then directly operate in a black box and judge yourself to win?

Sogo Tokiwa touched his pocket subconsciously, and there was only 500 yen in his pocket.

What can you do with 500 yen?

Take 500 yen to test the cadres?Which cadre cannot stand such a test?

Sogo Tokiwa, who had no bugs, had no choice but to show his true skills and start to get serious: "Mr. Prosecutor, there is still a loophole in your testimony.

The deceased, Ann, was the maid of this family. Did she live in the employer's house?Or do you have a house to live outside? "

Prosecutor Charles replied after hearing this: "No, Ann, as a maid, works at her employer's home during the day and returns to her home at night.

She has a residence outside, not with her employer. "

Hearing this, Tokiwa Shogo immediately began to say: "According to the motive you just mentioned, the defendant only had the motive of killing her sister, why would he hurt the other two innocent old ladies?

In this case, not only will it be more difficult to commit crimes, but it will also make it easier for you to be exposed. Normal people should not do such things, right?

And her sister lived alone at night, if she killed someone just for property, wouldn't it be easier to kill her sister when she was alone?

Why do you want to kill her sister together with her employer and the maid who is her sister when she is working in someone else's house? Isn't this just adding difficulty to yourself out of thin air?And it is easier to be found by others. "

Prosecutor Charles heard this and refuted Sogo Tokiwa's reasoning: "That's because Ann, as a sister, has her husband, Joe, in addition to herself.

Probably the defendant, as a woman, did not have the confidence to defeat a strong adult man, and was more likely to make mistakes.

On the contrary, in relative comparison, two old and weak old ladies are easier to deal with than an adult man. "

"The defendant can also use various methods to make an appointment with her sister, who is the deceased, alone. In this case, the difficulty of killing will be much easier.

There is no need to go to work to complete such a difficult triple kill. "

Hearing this, the prosecutor explained: "According to our judgment, the crime tools are basically things that originally existed in the room.

It is very likely that the defendant and the deceased had a dispute over property issues, which caused the defendant to kill passionately. She didn't think so much at the time. "

Tokiwa Shogo continued following the other party's words: "Even if it is a passionate murder, the other party has three people in total, and the defendant is only one, and she is a nun who is helpless.

It is simply impossible to accomplish the "feat" of killing three people by one person, right? "

The prosecutor immediately began to explain when he heard this: "We detected the ingredients of sleeping pills in the bodies of the two elderly deceased, which proved that they had taken sleeping pills before they died, so they were in a state of sleep when they died.

We found sleeping pills in the room at the scene of the crime. According to the description of the two old ladies’ private doctors, this was originally the sleeping pill used by the deceased. The two deceased had symptoms of being unable to fall asleep at night, so they often took sleeping pills to help them sleep.

Therefore, the two people who took the sleeping pills had no ability to resist at all. In other words, the murderer needed to work hard to hurt only one person. "

According to the prosecutor, as long as the murderer surprises and surprises the only sober deceased, Ann, he can easily and successfully kill three people.

Tokiwa Shogo easily found the loopholes in the other party's words: "According to the results of the autopsy report, the three deceased all died between [-]:[-] p.m. and [-]:[-] p.m. time to sleep.

Even if the deceased needs to use sleeping pills to help them sleep, they will never take sleeping pills at this time, so it can be said that the murderer used sleeping pills to stun the two deceased.

The murderer had to know in advance that there were sleeping pills in the deceased's home, and he had to take out the sleeping pills before others could discover them, and put them in food, so that the deceased could take them without finding out.

The defendant and the other two deceased did not know each other at all, and it was even more impossible to know what was in the deceased's house.

In addition, this case is a typical secret room murder case, the door is bolted from the inside, and the windows are also locked from the inside.

Such a secret room is definitely difficult, and the time required to complete this secret room is definitely not short, and careful preparations must be made in advance, so how could it be a murder of passion?

Mr. Prosecutor, your inferences are contradictory. This is a typical intentional homicide, definitely not a crime of passion.

Therefore, Ms. Sarah is definitely not the murderer. "

Hearing this, the prosecutor coughed twice: "But we have other evidence. The neighbor downstairs, George, heard the sound of fighting upstairs on the day of the crime, and also heard the sound of quarreling upstairs. .

When he was puzzled and opened the door, he happened to meet the defendant Sarah who was leaving in a hurry.

This fully proves that Sarah, who was the murderer at the time, fled the scene after killing three people and was witnessed by witnesses.

We call on witness George to testify. "

The judge nodded upon hearing this: "Agreed."

As soon as the judge finished speaking, George, as a witness, stood in the center of the courtroom for questioning.

First, the prosecutor began to ask: "Mr. George, at around 4:20 on the day of the incident, you heard a violent noise upstairs, didn't you?"

"That's right, there seemed to be some sounds of fighting and some objects being broken. At first I thought it was something broken from the plate upstairs, but I didn't care. After all, this kind of thing is quite normal.

But then I heard that there seemed to be a quarrel upstairs, it seemed that two female voices were arguing, and I felt something was wrong, so I thought about opening the door, whether I should go up and have a look.

After opening the door, I found the girl who hurried downstairs was her. "

Witness George pointed to the defendant's location while talking, indicating that the girl he saw going downstairs that day was the defendant Sarah.

Hearing this, Sougo Tokiwa smiled and asked, "Sir, are you sure that the voice you heard upstairs was made by this lady?"

George nodded affirmatively when he heard this: "It must be! There are two women's voices in total. I heard her voice later, so it must be true."

Seeing George who answered affirmatively, Tokiwa Sogo said with a smile, "Can you cooperate with me in an experiment?"

"Ah? What experiment? Isn't it enough to testify in court?"

"This experiment is very simple, as long as you close your eyes."

"Close your eyes?"

Hearing this, Tokiwa Shogo said clearly: "I would like to ask this witness to close his eyes, and ask the defendant and my assistant to say the exact same sentence respectively, to see if he can distinguish which is the voice of the defendant.

As a witness just now, George said with certainty that he could definitely hear the sounds of quarreling upstairs, and one of them was the defendant Sarah.

So according to what he said, he should be able to recognize the defendant's voice. "

Sogo Tokiwa smiled when he said this. Although everyone's voice has its own characteristics, unless someone is very familiar with it, it is difficult to judge who a person is based on the voice.

Otherwise there would be no guesswork about who I am.

So the other party said that they heard the voice upstairs and judged who the owner of the voice was, which can basically be said to be nonsense.

Because even if the sound insulation of the room is too poor, the voice from upstairs will be distorted if it is transmitted to the downstairs, and it will be different from the voice of talking in person.

The judge nodded when he heard this, expressing his approval of the experiment, in order to prove the accuracy of the witness's testimony.

Witness George obviously seemed a little guilty, and he didn't seem very confident in himself, but the probability of choosing one of the two made him feel that he was almost able to do it.

Tokiwa Sogo nodded, and then whispered to Dai Machiko who was next to him: "Wait a minute, the two sentences are up to you."
