Thursday, August 22, the Tokyo Local Court, referee.

After hearing the referee's words, Eiri Ni stood up and responded, "Yes, referee." Then he stepped forward and asked Takuya Akiyama, "Mr. Akiyama, is your time to patrol the building fixed?"

Takuya Akiyama said, "Yes, it's from 8 to 9 o'clock every night."

Eiri asked: "Mr. Akiyama, is you the only administrator?"

Takuya Akiyama said, "Yes, there were two, but later the economy was not good, so I was the only one left."

Eiri asked: "Mr. Akiyama, is there a monitoring system installed in the building?"

Takuya Akiyama shook his head and said, "No."

Eiri asked, “That is, if someone enters and leaves the building when you are not there, you don’t know either, Mr. Akiyama?”

Takuya Akiyama said, "That's right."

Eiri asked Arima Yayan: "Mr. Arima, what time was it when you sent your glasses to Otsu Real Estate Company?"

Akima Yayan said, "It's about nine o'clock in the evening."

Fei Yingri asked: "Mr. Arima, what time did the victim go to have a meal at your place that night?"

"This," Akira Ma Yayan said, "it was about eight o'clock in the evening."

"Are you sure the victim went for dinner at around 8 o'clock in the evening?" said Eiri. "This time is a little too late for having dinner."

"Yes, I'm sure." Akira Yayan said, "I asked when I was serving my father. He heard that he was sorting out the accounts and had to go back after dinner, so I only sent them to my father's club after picking up his glasses."

Eiri asked: "Mr. Arima, do you know when the victim left your restaurant?"

Akima Yayan said, "I don't know, I don't know when my father left."

Fei Yingri asked: "Mr. Arima, do you know how much time it takes to walk from your restaurant to the victim's office?"

Arima Yayan said, "It will take about ten minutes."

Fei Yingri asked: "So, do you know what eye disease the victim is suffering from?"

"Protest," said the Prosecutor of Kyushu, "please do not ask questions about any unrelated to this case."

Eiri said, "Chief referee, I just want to know how long it will take for the victim to walk back to his office without wearing glasses."

"The protest is invalid." said the chief referee, "please ask witnesses to answer this question."

Akama Yayan said: "Yes, my father is suffering from mild presbyopia. He can basically see clearly without wearing glasses, so he doesn't like wearing glasses, and pulling down glasses often happens."

Eiri asked: "Mr. Akiyama, Mr. Arima, you said you saw someone holding something and hitting another person outside the president's room. So please tell me, did you see it at the same time?"

Arima Yahiko said, "No, Mr. Akiyama was walking behind me at that time, and I saw it first."

Takuya Akiyama said, "That's right, Mr. Arima saw it first. After hearing him, I went to the window to look, and then I saw it."

Fei Eri asked: "Mr. Arima, how many times have you seen the beating of someone?"

Arima Yayan said, "Just see it, and then I screamed in shock."

Eiri asked: "Mr. Akiyama, how many times have you seen the beating of someone?"

Takuya Akiyama said, "Just once, then Mr. Arima asked me to get out of the way and knocked open the door."

Eiri asked: "Mr. Akiyama, how long has it been since you heard Mr. Arima say to you to see it?"

Takuya Akiyama said, "It will take a few seconds."

Eiri asked, "Mr. Akiyama, do you think that in this middle, the person who hits people in the room will hit the person who is beaten?"

"Protest." said the Nine Prosecutor, "the defense lawyer is trying to induce witnesses."

"The protest is effective." said the chief magistrate, "please pay attention to the defense lawyer."

"Yes, the chief referee." Feiying responded well, and then continued to ask Takuya Akiyama and Masahiko Akiyama, "Mr. Akiyama, Mr. Akiyama, as you said just now, you saw at least two hits. So have you heard the screams?"

Takuya Akiyama said, "No."

Akima Yayan said, "I didn't hear it either. I think he must have beaten my father long ago. When he was about to leave, he attacked my father, and we happened to be caught."

Takuya Akiyama said, "That's right, it must have been when I turned on the large office lights outside that alarmed him."

Eiri asked, "Wait, Mr. Akiyama, did you just say that you turned on the lights in the big office outside the president's office at that time?"

Takuya Akiyama said, "That's right, I opened the door of Otsu Real Estate Company with the administrator's key, then pressed the switch beside the wall and turned on the lights of the big office."

Eiri asked, "That is, before you two enter, the lights in the large office outside the president's office of Otsu Real Estate Company are not on, right?"

Takuya Akiyama said, "Yes."

Akama Yayan said, "That must be the prisoner who knocked down my father, turned off the light that my father turned on again and locked the door with my father's key, so when I went to find my father, no, uh..."

"Why don't you continue?" said Eiri, "Then, please let me tell you for you." Then, "You took the glasses of the victim Mr. Toshinoyuki Otsu to look for him. When you found that no one came to answer the door, you went to the administrator to look for Mr. Akiyama."

Arima Yayan said, "Yes, that's right."

Fei Yingri said: "That is to say, at that time, the prisoners in the president's office were already alarmed."

Akima Yayan said, "Maybe he hadn't packed his money yet."

Takashi Inoue said: "Nonsense, I didn't get any money at all. I left long ago, but unfortunately I hid, otherwise someone would have proved it for me."

The chief referee said: "Defendant please don't speak, defense lawyer please continue."

Eiri asked: "Mr. Akiyama, Mr. Arima, did you see anyone who beat people or someone who was beaten when you see the shadows on the wall?"

Takuya Akiyama said, "No, there happened to be a screen blocking the door, so I can't see the situation inside."

Akima Yayan said, "I didn't see it either."

Eiri asked, "Mr. Akiyama, Mr. Arima, may I ask, have you seen the murderer after entering the room?"

Arima Yayan said, "No."

Takuya Akiyama said, "I don't have either, he must have escaped through the window."

Fei Yingri asked, "So, after that, have you looked out of the window and saw someone with a body similar to my client running?"

Akima Yayan said, "I was taking care of my father at that time and didn't look out."

Takuya Akiyama said, "I called and went to see it, but no one saw it."

"Thank you for your answers," said Eiri, "Chief referee, I've finished asking."

After the witnesses left the court, the chief referee asked both parties to make a closing statement.

Prosecutor Kujo stood up and said, "According to the evidence provided by the police, the key to the president's office of Otsu Real Estate Company is in the pocket of the victim Mr. Toshinobu Otsu. The only person who entered and passed through the president's office of Otsu Real Estate Company through the windowsill is the defendant Mr. Takashi Inoue."

"So the two witnesses, Mr. Takuya Akiyama and Mr. Mahihiko Arima, saw on the wall, hitting the other person, which was the scene where the defendant Mr. Takashi Inoue hit the victim Mr. Toshinori Otsu before escaping the scene."

"Due to the two witnesses, Mr. Takuya Akiyama and Mr. Mahihiko Arima, they did not hear the screams from the victim Mr. Toshino Otsu. It can be determined that the defendant Mr. Takashi Inoue had defeated the victim Mr. Toshino Otsu before, and the victim Mr. Toshino Otsu had lost consciousness and even died."

"And the defendant Takashi Inoue attacked the victim Mr. Toshino Otsu, before leaving, which shows that he was afraid that the victim Mr. Toshino Otsu will not die, and shows that he was determined to kill the victim Mr. Toshino Otsu, and his motive was to completely get rid of his daughter Mr. Toshino Otsu."

"To sum up, the defendant, Mr. Takashi Inoue, has no sympathy at all. He is extremely guilty and deserves to be sentenced to death."

“That’s all I want to say.”

After the prosecutor Jiujo sat down, Eiri Ni stood up and said, "According to the evidence provided by the police, the victim, Mr. Toshinobu Otsu, died of death by being hit on the head three times by a glass ashtray, but the glass ashtray left at the scene did not have the blood of the victim, Mr. Toshinobu Otsu, and there was no fingerprint of my client, Mr. Takashi Inoue. It can be concluded that the murderer had carried away the weapon when he escaped."

"Two witnesses, Mr. Takuya Akiyama and Mr. Mahiko Arima, saw one person hitting another on the wall, but they were not sure that it was my client, Mr. Takashi Inoue, who was hitting the victim, Mr. Toshino, and after that, I did not see my client, Mr. Takashi Inoue, or even a person with a similar body shape to him."

"The police have not found the money lost by Otsu Real Estate Company so far, let alone prove that it was my client, Mr. Takashi Inoue who took the money."

"To sum up, there is no sufficient evidence to show that my client, Mr. Takashi Inoue, was the murderer who took the money from the safe of the president's office of Otsu Real Estate and killed the victim, Mr. Toshino. It can only be confirmed that my client, Mr. Takashi Inoue, once sneaked into the president's office of Otsu Real Estate and tried to open the safe inside the president's office."

“That’s all I want to say.”

After Concubine Eiri sat down, the chief referee announced the Hyo Ting...
