The conversation with Toshio Iwamatsu ended on a somewhat unhappy note.
Until the end of the conversation, Toshio Iwamatsu did not directly answer Fei Yingli's question, which also made Fei Yingli feel a layer of gloom.
As a defense lawyer, what you fear most is that the defender does not trust you at all and is unwilling to tell the lawyer any news that is detrimental to you.
Once a problem arises and you are unable to respond due to lack of necessary information, this will be very disadvantageous in court.
But Toshio Iwamatsu was unwilling to cooperate. Even though she knew there might be a hidden secret, she had no choice but to leave with her bag.
"Isn't this the concubine's lawyer?"
While she was deep in thought, Fei Yingli suddenly heard someone calling her name. She looked up and saw a beauty with medium-long hair standing in front of her.
"Prosecutor Kujo." Seeing that the person coming was Reiko Kujo, known as the ace of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office, Feiying greeted him with a smile.
"I heard that you took over the job of defending Toshio Iwamatsu?" Reiko Kujo asked with a smile.
"Well, I just went to see him for an interview." Fei Yingli said with a smile.
"I'm very much looking forward to being able to debate the merits of this case with Fei Yingli in the jury court." Reiko Kujo smiled gently: "Please show mercy."
"Please do the same." Fei Yingli also smiled gently.
The conversation between the two beauties seemed modest, but in fact there was a bit of tit-for-tat in their eyes.
This is normal, after all, this is not the first time the two have fought each other. Although there is no hatred, the positions between the defense lawyer and the prosecutor are inherently antagonistic.
This time the two are on opposite sides because of a case, so naturally they cannot be in harmony.
Although there is no grudge, Kujo Reiko's defeat every time puts the two in a subtle state of competition.
At least until the end of this court session, the two of them will not be able to talk harmoniously and peacefully.
In a blink of an eye, time came to the day of trial.
At the Tokyo District Court, Sumiko Kobayashi was hurriedly running to the conference room after receiving the news.
In the middle of the process, she also hurriedly took out her phone and informed the principal of the news.
"I'm sure I was selected!" Kobayashi Chengzi was excited and then said a little embarrassedly: "So about what I said about the school class two days ago?"
"Ah, you don't have to worry about that."
An old voice came from the mobile phone and from beside her at the same time. In the surprised expression of Xiaolin Chengzi, the principal came from behind her holding the mobile phone.
"That's awesome, teacher!" Genta's praise made Kobayashi Chengzi turn around in surprise, "Why, you guys?"
"Because I changed this class into a self-study class." The principal smiled and stroked his beard and said: "These children said that while treating it as a social practice class, they also cheered for Teacher Xiao Lin."
"I originally thought that the teacher would definitely be chosen!" Ayumi said with longing, holding her hands, "Now she has indeed been chosen!"
"What kind of case are the jurors about?" Mitsuhiko inquired curiously.
"Shhh!!"
Xiaolin Chengzi felt shy and anxious when she heard the student's words. She made a zipper shape with her right hand near her mouth and said with a serious expression: "I have the obligation to keep secrets!"
After seriously expressing her attitude, Kobayashi Chengzi looked at the principal and said: "Then I am going to attend the briefing about the jurors. Please forgive me for being with you."
"Yes." The principal nodded and smiled: "You are the first teacher in the history of our Didan Primary School to be selected as a reviewer. Please work hard and perform well!"
"yes!"
Xiaolin Chengzi responded seriously, and after that, the three little ones kept clapping their hands to cheer for their class teacher.
Afterwards, the five little ones, led by the principal and others, came to the hall of the Tokyo District Court and prepared to take several little ones back to school, but Conan and Hui Principle deliberately lagged behind.
"Which case did Mr. Xiaolin participate in the trial?" Haiyuan and Conan asked as they came to the display board where the trial was notified.
"It should be that one." Conan pointed to one of the cases and said.
"Ala?"
Before the two of them could continue talking, Xiaolan's surprise words came from the corridor: "Conan-kun, Ai-chan!?"
"Sister Xiaolan and uncle?" Conan looked surprised when he saw the two of them: "Why are you here?"
"I still want to ask you." Xiaolan said with a smile: "Is Mr. Conan also coming to see the court where my mother is the defense lawyer?"
"Eh?" Conan said in surprise: "Can you say?"
"After all, this is the first time that lawyer Fei Yingli has participated in a defense court with jurors. It is normal for the two of them to come to participate."
Before Xiaolan could speak, Tang Ze and Shiratiao walked over.
"Eh? Karasawa Criminal and Shiratori Criminal!?" Mouri Kogoro said with a surprised look on his face: "Why are you two here too? Are you also listening?"
"Isn't it the same scene as my mother's?" Xiaolan said in surprise.
"I came with Shiratori." Tangze smiled and bumped Shiratori with his shoulder, eliciting an embarrassed smile from the other person.
"It's Teacher Xiaolin." Haiyuan said with a look of understanding on his face.
"What a coincidence." Conan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
"After all, this is the first court with a jury system, so it is right that it will attract attention." Tang Ze agreed with a smile.
"Yes, my father and I were also a little worried, so we came here." Xiaolan said happily: "It's fortunate that the school has a warm-up holiday, otherwise we wouldn't be able to come."
"Hmph, my opponent is the "Madonna of prosecutors" Reiko Kujo. I hope he won't lose face in front of the jury."
When Mouri Kogoro heard that his daughter said that she came because she was worried about Concubine Eri, he immediately became arrogant and hard-spoken.
"So this is a showdown between the "Undefeated Queen" Consort Eri and the "Goddess of Prosecutors" Prosecutor Kujo?"
After hearing the conversation between the two, Tangze raised his eyebrows with interest and said, "The outcome of this duel will be judged by Mr. Xiaolin. This is really a "luxury lineup.""
"For you, this is probably a trial you can't miss, right?"
Haiyuan looked at Conan and said with a smile: "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 Haiyuan's words.
Haiyuan waved his hands and said nothing. He said goodbye to Tang Ze and others and went to find the three little ones to join the principal.
And a group of people who seemed to meet by chance but were actually inevitable walked towards the trial court together.
As for the case to be tried this time, Tang Ze had already read about it in the files.
The first public trial of this "real estate club president's murder incident" also officially started with the presiding judge and jurors taking their seats.
It can be seen that all the jurors were a little nervous facing this serious atmosphere, but few in the audience were nervous.
Well, except for three or four passers-by, the rest were all Tang Ze and his gang. They were used to this kind of atmosphere, so naturally there was no way they were nervous.
"The court session begins now!"
A presiding judge with white hair and glasses announced the opening of the trial, and immediately looked at Fei Yingli's side: "Then first, please invite the defendant to come forward!"
Accompanied by two criminals, one on the left and one on the right, Toshio Iwamatsu stood up and walked to the dock.
Seeing Toshio Iwamatsu standing still, the presiding judge then turned to look at Reiko Kujo and said: "Then please now ask the prosecutor to start reading the contents of the indictment."
"yes!"
Kujo Reiko stood up when she heard the sound, opened the folder in her hand and said: "The defendant Toshio Iwamatsu smashed the study window of Mr. Tataka Ishigaki, the president of the real estate company, at 4-chome 5th Block, Yoneka-cho, in order to steal.
Later, during the break-in, when he was looking for the target of theft in the house, he was discovered by Mr. Tadashi Ishigaki who returned home.
A scuffle broke out between the two, and then they stabbed the victim in the abdomen with the knife they carried."
"I have objections!"
At this moment, Fei Eri on the side interrupted Kujo Reiko and said directly: "The prosecutor just mentioned the knife Iwamatsu Toshio carried with him. Has the murder weapon been identified?"
"No, the murder weapon has not been found so far." Although Kujo Reiko knew the disadvantage, she still answered truthfully.
"Then please delete the explanation about the murder weapon." The presiding judge said after hearing this.
"I understand." Kujo Reiko nodded and replied 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, couldn't help but marvel.
Xiaolan also happily clasped her hands together and whispered: "As expected of my mother, she is indeed amazing!"
"It's still very early." Mouri Kogoro crossed his arms: "The fun has just begun!"
Despite the brief defeat, Kujo Reiko did not show any emotion, but continued to hold the document and read out: "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 homicide under Article 199 of the Penal Code.”
Looking at Toshio Iwamatsu who was gritting his teeth, the presiding judge looked at him without changing his expression and asked: "Then does the defendant admit to this crime?"
Iwamatsu Toshio was furious when he heard this, but in the end he suppressed his anger and looked at the presiding judge and argued vigorously: "I really did not kill anyone, I am not guilty!"
When it came to the last sentence, Toshio Iwamatsu even shouted it. This loud voice also frightened all the jurors who were participating in the jury for the first time.
Even the spectators began to discuss quietly below, and for a while the quiet court was filled with chaotic discussions.
Only Kujo Reiko laughed after hearing Toshio Iwamatsu's roar.
"What about the defense lawyer's opinion?" the presiding judge looked at Fei Yingli and asked.
"I have the same opinion as the defendant." Fei Yingli stood up and expressed her attitude: "For this prosecution of murder, I advocate that the defendant is not guilty!"
Although Fei Eri knew that Toshio Iwamatsu might have concealed his relationship with Ishigaki Tadafu, the two were not strangers, and even his selection of targets was not random.
However, Fei Eri still chose to respect Toshio Iwamatsu's opinion, insisted on his choice, and also expressed his attitude.
Fei Yingli sat down and looked at Reiko Kujo who was directly opposite her. Both of them had a faint and calm smile on their faces, and the feeling of tit-for-tat became more and more acute.
Fei Yingli's speech also caused a slight commotion among the jurors. After all, in their view, the police had already caught him, which meant that the outcome of this murder case was almost certain.
And the defendant's lawyer actually stated his innocence, which is equivalent to completely overturning the court trial and the police's search results.
Even if they are not professionals, they know how difficult this is.
Of course, this difference was only for a moment. Because it was the first time in this kind of environment, all the jurors were only slightly surprised, and then quickly maintained their composure again.
"Both sides have finished speaking, so now we start the investigation phase of evidence."
Following the presiding judge's speech, Kujo Reiko stood up and said directly: "Then first, please check the autopsy report of the body."
"Jurors, please look at the screen in front of you. The autopsy report will be placed on it. Please confirm it carefully."
Following the words of the presiding judge, all the jurors turned their attention to the screens in front of their desks.
With the appearance of the autopsy report, all the jurors showed shock, obviously being greatly shocked.
"What did they see?" Xiaolan asked curiously as she watched the jurors' reactions.
"I'm afraid it's a photo of the body or something."
Tang Ze replied: "These things may take longer for us to absorb, but for those who have never been exposed to them, I am afraid it will be a big impact."
"I wonder if Mr. Kobayashi can do it?" Conan said worriedly, looking at Sumiko Kobayashi on the stage.
"Kobayashi" Shiratori looked at Kobayashi Chengzi who didn't dare to open her eyes on the stage, and couldn't help but worry.
Obviously, as a boyfriend, Shiratori Criminal was afraid that Kobayashi Sumiko wouldn't be able to accept this.
The presiding judge on the side also noticed this situation, looked at the jurors who reacted strongly, and said: "Perhaps for ordinary people, such a scene will be a little difficult for you to accept.
But it is also the job of the jurors to see the truth clearly, so please work hard to overcome it."
After hearing the words of the presiding judge, Kobayashi Chengko, who was originally too scared to close her eyes and dare not look at the screen, gritted her teeth and opened her eyes, trying hard to look at the autopsy report on the screen.
Tangze, who had read the file, also clearly knew the contents of the remains they saw.
The cause of death of the victim was that he was stabbed in the abdomen with a sharp instrument, resulting in excessive blood loss.
Judging from the wound on the abdomen of the body, it was thought to be a sharp knife blade, and it was estimated that the knife was about 15 centimeters long.
This information was also read out one by one by Kujo Reiko, so that the people present also learned about the condition of the remains.
Soon, the court fell into silence.
