At night, the Ishigaki family residence.
A sneaky figure, holding a vase in his arms, quietly opened the fence and entered the mansion.
Soon the little black man walked into the study, looked around and then walked into the murder scene.
He hurried to the display cabinet with the vase in his arms and put the stolen vase back into its place.
"The missing vase is obviously this one."
A male voice suddenly came from the darkness, making the little black man who had just put down the vase freeze on the spot.
The next moment, the light illuminated the entire room. Hara Yukie looked around in panic, and finally lowered his head in despair.
"It was indeed you who stole the vase, auntie."
Conan was standing there wearing gloves when the light was turned on at the door. It was obvious that he was the one who had just turned on the light.
Of course, Yukie Hara was also wearing gloves, but one was to avoid detection and leave fingerprints in the room, while the other was to avoid leaving fingerprints on the vase when returning the dirty items.
But she was obviously overdoing it. After all, she was a domestic helper, so it would be normal for her fingerprints to be on the vase. It would be strange if there were not.
Looking at the frightened Yukie Hara, Karasawa walked up to him and said, "Well, since you've been caught, let's tell you what happened with the vase."
Hara Yukie looked at the man in front of her, with a look of despair in her eyes. Finally, she slowly spoke and revealed everything.
…
Tokyo Tribunal.
In the case of the murder of the real estate company president, the second public trial has begun again.
This time, unlike the first public trial, the atmosphere has obviously changed.
First of all, the jurors. With the experience of participating last time, everyone’s attitude has obviously changed a lot this time.
The previous unfamiliarity has disappeared, replaced by seriousness and seriousness.
Secondly, Reiko Kujo looked relaxed and clearly had a chance to win, which could be seen from the constant rotation of the pen on her fingertips.
As for Haimi, he sat expressionless on his seat, while the defendant Toshio Iwamatsu no longer had the arrogant attitude he had during the first trial.
Obviously, the secrets he had hidden were discovered, and evidence against him appeared one after another, which made him despair. At this moment, he looked more like he was waiting for death.
"Then, let's start today's court hearing."
The presiding judge looked at the quiet court and announced the official start of the second trial: "First, before questioning the witnesses, the prosecutor submitted an application for new evidence."
After finishing her words, Reiko Kujo stood up and said: "As for the results of the investigation of the painting mentioned by the juror last time, we found an IOU for a loan of 3 million from the back of the frame.
The name of the borrower is none other than Toshio Iwamatsu, the defendant!
In addition, the murder weapon was not found during the first trial, but it has also been found.
After identification, the blood stains on the blade were found to be consistent with those of the victim."
As Kujo Reiko finished speaking, a picture of a dagger appeared on the electronic screen in the courtroom.
"This is not mine!!"
When he saw the murder weapon, Toshio Iwamatsu, who was standing in the dock, immediately shouted: "I didn't bring a knife there at all, and I've never seen this knife at all!!"
Seeing the increasingly agitated Toshio Iwamatsu, the criminal standing next to him immediately restrained Toshio Iwamatsu's arms from left to right, holding him firmly in place.
"Asshole!!" Toshio Iwamatsu struggled violently and roared: "You stupid guys, do you have to frame me as a murderer?"
"Mr. Iwamatsu, please calm down!" Fei Miji was on the side to comfort him, but Toshio Iwamatsu couldn't listen to him at all.
"Damn it!" Toshio Iwamatsu still refused to listen to Feili's advice and continued to struggle.
"quiet!"
Seeing Toshio Iwamatsu making such a fuss, the presiding judge on the side immediately scolded him.
Seeing that Toshio Iwamatsu still refused to calm down, the presiding judge did not continue to scold him, but said in a calm tone: "Defendant, please control your words and deeds, otherwise we will take coercive measures and punish you for disturbing the court."
As a presiding judge who devotes himself to the court, he has seen too many criminals, and impulsive and violent prisoners like Toshio Iwamatsu are not the most difficult to deal with.
But he just used a little trick, and Toshio Iwamatsu stopped struggling instantly.
A moment of unwillingness and fear for the future made Toshio Iwamatsu burst into tears.
"I was completely beaten by the "Madonna of prosecutors" and was unable to fight back." Sitting in the audience, Mouri Kogoro said with interest while dragging his chin.
"Mom is in a very bad situation, why are you still gloating about your misfortune!" Xiaolan looked at Mouri Kogoro dissatisfied and said.
"Even if I worry too much, it won't change the outcome." Mouri Kogoro dragged his chin and waved his hand impatiently.
When the presiding judge saw that Toshio Iwamatsu was no longer making a fuss, he turned to look at Feili and said, "As for the new evidence submitted by the prosecutor, do the defense lawyers have any objections?"
"No, I have no objections to these two pieces of evidence."
Feili bowed slightly, but then changed her words and said: "But we also made a request. Please summon the deceased's helper again, Miss Hara Yukie, to testify."
Kujo Reiko frowned when she heard this, wondering what Feili wanted to do now that she had summoned him for questioning.
But this was the request of the other party, and they had no right to stop it. They could only watch Hara Yukie take the stage again.
"Excuse me, what is your impression of this vase?"
In front of Hara Yukie, Feili's assistant Kuriyama Midori moved a vase with white top and blue bottom in front of him.
Even if Hara Yukie was unwilling, she could only answer truthfully: "This is the vase I visited before in the master's study."
"Then when was the last time you saw this vase?" Feili asked.
"I remember that on the day the murder occurred, the vase was still in the study."
Hara Yukie looked up and recalled: "Because when I went to the second floor to clean the house that day, the vase was still in the study.
Because before I went to the second floor to clean, I went to the master’s room to clean first, so I must have remembered it correctly.”
"Hey, what's going on? Among the items left at the scene, there shouldn't be that vase." Kujo Reiko who was on the side heard Yukiehara's words and quickly looked at her assistant and asked.
The other party looked through the list of items left behind this time, and indeed there was no record of this vase.
Not mentioning Kujo Reiko's reaction, Feili's question continued: "Then when you saw this vase again, where and when were you?"
"It was the day after the incident, at the garbage collection point."
Hara Yukie answered honestly: "As usual, I planned to go to the Ishigaki family mansion to clean up, but I found that the place was closed to entry and was blocked by many police cordons.
With no other choice, I planned to go back first, but when I turned around to go back, I found the vase placed at the garbage station opposite.
I was still thinking about why that vase was thrown away in a garbage dump."
"So after that, you picked up the vase and took it home, right?" Feili asked.
"I was just keeping it safe for my wife!" Hara Yukie defended hurriedly: "This is true!!"
"Hmph, that's nice to say." Mouri Kogoro said with a disdainful smile: "If no one finds out, I'm afraid he will take the vase for himself."
Although Kujo Reiko on the side didn't know what Fili was selling, she still understood that she had to veto whatever her opponent wanted to do.
"I have objections!"
So after Yukie Hara finished talking about the vase, Reiko Kujo immediately stood up and retorted: "This court is the place where this murder case is tried. It is obviously inappropriate to discuss the alleged theft of relevant witnesses here.
I have reason to believe that this is the defense lawyer trying to buy time!"
"Please explain clearly the purpose of raising this question."
After hearing Kujo Reiko's words, the presiding judge looked at Fei Yingri and said.
"Then, now I want to apply to ask Genichi Karasawa, who discovered the physical evidence, to become a new witness in this court!"
Fei Yingli's words were like lighting up firecrackers in the lake, causing huge waves in an instant, and the people who were listening at the scene also started talking.
"quiet!"
The presiding judge immediately shouted to control the situation, and the next moment the chaotic courtroom became quiet again.
Upon seeing this, Tang Ze stood up and came to the witness stand, picked up the vase and looked at the presiding judge and said:
"First of all, this vase is not evidence of theft, but is actually evidence related to the murder case."
After putting on his white gloves, Tangze picked up the vase and showed it to the presiding judge: "Please look at the inside and bottom of the vase. There are obvious dried black blood stains on them."
"But what does that mean?" Kujo Reiko said, "This vase can only prove that when the victim was killed, the blood was spattered on the vase."
"No, actually it can explain a lot of problems."
Karasawa shook his head, looked at the presiding judge and said, "In fact, President Ishigaki was killed before the defendant sneaked into the room.
I don’t know if you remember the testimony of the helper Ms. Yuan.
When she started the vacuum cleaner on the second floor, she heard what seemed to be a sound on the first floor.
And that time was when President Ishigaki was killed with a murder weapon by the real murderer in the study room on the first floor.
After this, the prisoner took down the painting on the wall and took away the things originally placed in the frame.
But at that moment, the real murderer suddenly heard a strange sound coming from outside the room.
I'm afraid that the prisoner must have been very panicked at this time, so when he hurriedly restored the painting, he didn't notice the side of the painting and put it up.
After that, he hid behind the study door. Because when we went there, the curtains in the room were closed, so the light was dark enough for the prisoner to hide temporarily.
The one who made the noise outside the house was the defendant Toshio Iwamatsu, who sneaked into the room in order to steal the IOU.
Then he discovered the body of President Ishigaki, and in panic, he fell down with blood at his feet and touched the vase next to him.
After that, Toshio Iwamatsu escaped, and the person who entered the room again was Ms. Yukie Hara who came down after hearing the noise.
After this, Ms. Hara Yukie also discovered the body.
And just when Miss Hara Yukie screamed and fell into panic, the criminal hid the murder weapon in the vase that accidentally fell at his feet.
Then he pretended to rush over after hearing the scream, and called the police with Ms. Hara Yukie.”
"He looked like he came in a hurry." After hearing Tang Ze's words, Kobayashi Chengzi was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted: "Then the real murderer is"
Looking at the eyes of everyone present, they unconsciously focused on the place where Tsukano Hiroshi was sitting in the auditorium. Karasawa nodded and said: "Yes, the real murderer is Tsuka who came to the study after Yuki Hara. Mr. Wild!”
"You, what are you talking about?"
Tsukano Hiroshi, who was sitting in the corner of the last row of the auditorium, looked at the eyes of everyone in the court and felt his scalp numb.
But he still held up his pale face and denied it: "This joke is not funny at all."
"Mr. Tsukano, I have restored all the details of this case." Karasawa turned to look at Tsukano Hiroshi in the corner and said: "I will give you a chance to surrender. How about admitting the crime now?"
Although Tsukano Hiroshi was sweating coldly, Karasawa's words gave him a glimmer of hope. He felt that everything Karasawa said was a lie to him.
He is like a gambler who has lost everything, holding a meager chip in his hand, seemingly placing it on the biggest prize, hoping to turn everything around.
"You, since you say I am a prisoner, then show me evidence!" Tsukano Hiroshi's eyes were crazy: "Otherwise, I will sue you for false accusation!!"
"It seems that you took my kindness as a sign of my lack of confidence."
Tangze looked at Tsukano Hiroshi and said calmly: "Okay, then I will explain it in detail.
First of all, when you found the body, you deliberately approached the body and touched it.
This behavior was to confuse the blood stains on your hands after soaking through your gloves when you committed the murder, so you deliberately touched the body of President Ishigaki.
After that, you took the initiative and asked Ms. Yukie Hara to hand over the ambulance, while you took advantage of her to make a phone call and secretly took the vase and the murder weapon hidden in it to the garbage disposal station outside the house.
You covered the vase with garbage and threw the criminal gloves in as well.
Then, you waited for the ambulance and the criminal department, took them to the police station after the interrogation, and left. You took away the murder weapon and gloves in the vase.
As for the vase, because it was too big and there was a risk of being seen when transporting it, you threw it at the garbage disposal station and waited for the next morning to dispose of it when the non-burnable garbage was collected.
But you didn't expect that Ms. Yukie Hara saw the vase and took it back.
In addition, in the first public trial, there was no verdict because the murder weapon was not found.
In order to let Toshio Iwamatsu take the blame for you and end all this, you threw the murder weapon in the lake near the other party's park, and deliberately let the knife be found at the drainage outlet!
Am I right, Mr. Tsukano?"
