While the attention of all walks of life is attracted by the "TYPE-MOON" studio, certain things are also happening quietly...
Kanto Region, a certain high court.
The male judge in a black robe stared intently at the audience and asked expressionlessly: "Defendant, please tell me your name."
The young man drooped his head and said listlessly: "...Yaguchi Kyouya."
Judge: "What is your occupation?"
Young man: "Nothing."
Judge: "Then what do you do for a living?"
Young man: "My girlfriend usually helps me, but when I have no choice, I will go out to work."
The judge frowned, "Then how did you rent the apartment you used to imprison the victim? Was it also funded by your girlfriend?"
"Yes, after all, my girlfriend is very considerate." The young man admitted openly, and then pointed at himself and asked.
"By the way, your honor, did you make a mistake somewhere? Do I look like the kind of person who would imprison others at will?
I have already said that the girl asked me to take her home, and I was just helping out out of kindness."
The judge said nothing and turned to look at the plaintiff's seat on the right, "Prosecution lawyer, do you agree with the defendant's statement?"
"No, I'm sorry I can't agree."
The woman in a suit whose name was called stood up and said loudly: "Presiding Judge, I have some questions about this case that I would like to ask the defendant. Please allow me to do so."
"Okay." The judge nodded and said, "Prosecution lawyer, you can start."
"Okay." Yuki Mito nodded in greeting, and then asked Yaguchi Kyouya opposite.
"First of all, I would like to ask the defendant, did you get permission from his guardian when you brought my client back to the apartment?"
Yaguchi Kyouya took out his ears and thought for a moment.
"Well, there should be something like this, right? The girl seemed to have said that she was abandoned by her family, but I can't remember it clearly because it wasn't something important. I'm really sorry."
Yuuki Mito: "Do you have a physical relationship?"
Yaguchi Kyouya: "Oh, there is this."
Yuki Mito quickly glanced at the girl next to him, and continued to ask unmoved: "How often is it?"
Yaguchi Kyouya raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at the ceiling and said:
"Well, because we are dating, maybe once, twice or three times a week? I haven't counted the details. Does this have anything to do with my case?"
"Have you ever induced my client to run away from home and live with you and restricted her personal freedom?"
"This... I may have said some angry words, but it was just a quarrel between lovers at best, so there's no need to make such a fuss about it, right?"
"Have you ever been violent towards my client?"
"No."
"In that case, why did my client seek help from the "OSY Association"? How do you explain the injuries on her body?"
"Injury? What injury?? I don't know what you are talking about."
Yaguchi Kyouya tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face, his eyes focused on the bedmate who had caused him to get involved in a lawsuit, and he was deeply puzzled.
Yes, it was true that he took that girl home out of selfish desire, but he really never hit anyone!
As a prodigal son of a flower girl, Yaguchi Kyouya prides himself on being a person of good taste and not prone to fights like those street gangsters. So what exactly is the injury mentioned by the barrister?
Yaguchi Kyouya felt confused.
Yuuki Mito seemed not surprised at all that he would deny it. She calmly picked up a piece of material and talked about it facing the judge's bench.
"President, I have sufficient evidence to show that my client has been harmed by the defendant for a long time, and his behavior includes abduction, violence, illegal imprisonment, etc.
This caused great physical and mental damage to my client. If she hadn't called the outside world for help later while the defendant was out, this poor girl would have met with something unexpected."
Yaguchi Kyouya suddenly trembled, and said in a mixture of shock and anger: "Hey, hey, hey, don't think that just because you are a lawyer, you can talk nonsense, auntie, be careful, I will sue you for defamation..."
"--quiet!"
The judge banged the gavel twice and warned: "Defendant, please pay attention to your words and deeds. No noise is strictly allowed in the court."
"..." Yaguchi Kyouya opened his mouth with a constipated look on his face. Although he was shaking with anger, he still held back half of what he said.
The judge's face softened slightly and he continued to ask: "Prosecution lawyer, do you have any evidence for the accusation against the defendant?"
"Yes." Yuuki Mito nodded calmly, took the initiative to hand over the collected materials to the judge's bench, and also began to explain.
"As you can see, my client went to the hospital for an examination on the day she was rescued. The results showed that she had many external injuries and was very mentally unstable, which is completely consistent with long-term abuse.
And the defendant was the only cohabitation partner she had contact with in Tokyo, so there could be no other suspects.
And according to Ms. Ogiwara, the representative of the "OSY Association," she witnessed the defendant violently assaulting my client on the day of the rescue. This was also proven by the police officer who was responsible for dispatching the police that day, and we can basically determine the authenticity of this case."
Yuuki Mito paused for a moment and turned his attention to the auditorium in the front row, where the main members of the "OSY Association" were sitting.
The faces of Sayu Ogiwara, Asami Yuki and Yu Serizawa were full of nervousness, and they were all paying close attention to the direction of the next trial.
Yuki Mito didn't pay too much attention to them, but focused on the women with their heads lowered next to them. That was the highlight of the day.
"Presiding Judge." She suddenly turned to the judge's bench, pointed one finger at Yaguchi Kyouya opposite her, and her tone became very serious.
"In addition to the issues I mentioned above, I actually received other reports. The defendant is also suspected of fraud and inducing women to engage in customary work, and has a history of attempted murder-!"
Buzzing all of a sudden.
As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately exploded.
"Hey, hey, you actually said that you attempted murder? Has that person ever done such a thing before!?"
"Bah, he looks like a human, but I didn't expect him to be such a dangerous guy!"
"It's so scary. Why was such a dangerous person not arrested until today? What on earth were the police doing before? Those tax thieves!"
"Damn it, this is already an out-and-out criminal! How can we continue to allow this kind of murderer to appear in society? Die early!"
People were pointing and talking, and Yaguchi Kyouya was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Bah! You are such a slanderer——!!!"
He yelled at the audience: "Are you guys idiots? Can you have more brains? Even fools know that this woman is lying! I am innocent!"
Seeing that the scene was getting out of control, the judge quickly ordered the bailiffs to maintain order. At the same time, he asked Yuki Mito: "Prosecution lawyer, do you have any evidence for the accusation against the defendant?"
"Yes, presiding judge." Yuuki Mito nodded in confirmation.
"I have seven written testimonies here from different people, all written by the defendant's girlfriends. They also came to the scene today and asked the presiding judge to allow them to appear in court as witnesses."
"they--??"
There was a bit of confusion on the judge's face.
"you--!?"
Yaguchi Kyouya looked at the audience with great astonishment, and the figures of seven people were clearly reflected in his dilated pupils.
…
Thirty minutes later.
Woman A: "...Yes, Yaguchi-kun always claimed that he was single before dating me and never mentioned anything about other women. I only found out he was lying after watching the TV news."
Woman B: "Xiao Gong and I met on a blind date website a year ago. At that time, he claimed that he was the president of an IT company, and said that he wanted to date me on the premise of marriage, and also used business turnover
He has borrowed money from me many times for various reasons.”
Woman C: “I was approached by him on the street because his appearance was exactly what I liked, so we started dating very quickly.
As a result, I later found out that this guy was a soft-boiled guy who only asked for money, and I had to pay all his living expenses, which was really bad!"
Female D: “...I have been dating Kyoya for about two years, but I still don’t quite understand his thoughts. I only know that he often chats with people on the Internet.
Once I asked him a few questions out of curiosity, and he got very angry and beat me, and threatened to kill me. I didn't dare to ask anymore because I was afraid..."
Female E: “That person often associates with people in society, so it’s not surprising at all that he would hit someone.
What he is best at is coaxing girls with sweet words, but in fact he is a rotten person at heart."
Female F: “My experience is similar to that of the girl on the news. I was also deceived into coming to Tokyo by Yaguchi.
He said at that time that he would introduce me to a high-paying job, and the job content would involve drinking and chatting with others, but I felt a little suspicious so I didn't agree."
Female G: "The sister in front of me had a good hunch. The high-paying job that guy mentioned is actually not serious at all.
He is the kind of broker who specializes in introducing women to custom shops. He keeps chatting up girls for this purpose. He is just a scumbag!"
As the seven women narrated one by one, the image of a soft-boiled man who specifically targets women to defraud money and sex emerged in the minds of everyone present.
"That's too much!"
"How disgusting!"
"Inhuman devil! He actually has the nerve to say that he is innocent? Go to hell as soon as possible!"
At this moment, Yaguchi Kyouya seemed to be the target of public criticism.
The audience present all showed contempt and condemned this heartless bastard.
"You...you..." Yaguchi Kyouya looked at the women who had been intimate with him in disbelief and murmured:
"What did I do wrong? Why did you do this to me? Is it because I cheated? I can apologize! Please forgive me, okay??"
The seven women who heard this showed different reactions.
Some were indifferent, some were filled with hatred, some looked away out of guilt, and some suddenly covered their faces and sobbed for unknown reasons...
"Presiding Judge." Yuki Mito spoke with an extremely cold voice.
"In view of the defendant's bad character, it is difficult for us to believe the authenticity of his testimony, and he must provide more powerful evidence to prove his innocence.
If not, considering the defendant’s anti-social personality and dangerousness, we hope to severely punish him in accordance with the law, and we also ask the presiding judge to consider it.”
On the judge's bench, several members of the jury looked at each other with serious expressions. Finally, it was the judge who spoke first.
"Defense lawyer." He asked: "Do you have anything to defend?"
"No." Yaguchi Kyouya's lawyer shook his head helplessly, with a look of helplessness on his face.
He wanted to defend himself, but his client couldn't even produce any favorable evidence, so what could he do?
The judge then asked: "So do you have any evidence that needs to be submitted?"
"No." The lawyer shook his head again, looked at the plaintiff's table with a complicated expression, and asked with the last glimmer of hope.
"I would like to ask the victim, if we are willing to plead guilty, can we ask for forgiveness..."
Before he could finish his words, Yaguchi Kyouya interrupted him with a yell.
"Who do you think is going to plead guilty? Why should I plead guilty to something I haven't done!? Are you considered a lawyer? Come on, think of a way, you loser!!!"
The lawyer couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and cursed secretly in his heart.
The evidence prepared by the plaintiff's lawyer is so sufficient. The best result now is to ask for forgiveness from the victim and get a reduced sentence. How can there be any reason to continue to be tough?
The lawyer looked at Yaguchi Kyouya speechlessly and stopped talking.
Seeing that the lawyer had given up completely, the judge did not delay any longer and made an immediate announcement after a brief discussion with his companions.
"The defendant Yaguchi Kyouya is suspected of fraud, abduction, intentional injury, illegal imprisonment, and organizing the introduction of underage MY. The criminal facts are unquestionable.
In view of the seriousness and badness of his behavior, he is now punished in accordance with the highest national law of RB and decided to be sentenced to life imprisonment without any form of commutation, above!"
Boom——!
After the judge finished speaking, he knocked the hammer down hard with a solemn look on his face.
The audience applauded one after another to show their support.
This devil has harmed so many girls and deserves to be damned.
Yaguchi Kyouya's body shook violently, as if he had suffered some invisible impact.
He stared at the crowd with splitting eyes and roared with a distorted face.
"What are you bastards so happy about? Stop it!! And why are you bitches trying to harm me? I will definitely kill you!!"
"Finally, it's you, this bullshit judge! I may be a scumbag, but I didn't kill anyone! I'm innocent! I refuse to accept it! I want to appeal——!!!"
Yaguchi Kyouya yelled and insulted everyone indiscriminately, but it no longer made any sense.
Soon, the bailiff standing by took him down, and what awaited him was severe punishment from the law.
Asami Yuuki immediately ran to the plaintiff's seat and said to her mother: "Mom, you are so awesome! Thank you for helping us win the lawsuit, thank you for your hard work~!"
Yuki Mito hummed absentmindedly, still looking at the direction Yaguchi Kyou left, his eyes thoughtful.
Asami tilted her head in confusion, "What's wrong, Mom? We finally won the lawsuit, aren't you happy?"
"It's not easy..." Yuuki Mito murmured and looked back, asking his daughter: "Why do you think so?"
"Huh?"
"Do you think it will be difficult for us to win today? I think this case is the easiest one I have encountered in my career.
Not only were the witnesses and material evidence complete, but the judge was also very straightforward and handed down the verdict so smoothly, and it was also a life sentence..."
"Hmm? Isn't that a good thing?"
"It's a good thing, but it's a little too smooth. I always feel that there are still some details that haven't been investigated clearly. For example, the seven women clearly don't know each other, but their attitudes are surprisingly consistent, which is very suspicious."
"What's suspicious? I think it's normal?" Asami Yuuki blinked in confusion and said amusedly:
"After all, that scumbag did something absolutely unforgivable. His girlfriend naturally stood up and reported him out of anger. On the contrary, mom, are you too suspicious? Are you careful about turning it into an occupational disease?"
"You are the only one who talks a lot." Yuki Mito raised his hand and knocked his daughter on the head.
At this time, Sayu and Serizawa Yuu also came over.
"Aunt Yuki." Sayu said sincerely: "Thank you very much for your help today. You have worked hard to bring justice to the girls in our association."
Yuuki Mito waved his hand, "It's nothing hard. This case is not difficult. No matter who it is, the result will be the same. You don't have to be polite."
Sayu shook his head and gently pressed his right hand on his chest.
"Aunt Yuki, you can think so, but I can't think so. Your contribution is real, and I will definitely remember this kindness.
Then, although this is not a thank you, our association will hold an auction next week. If you are free, would you like to attend as a guest? "
"Oh?" Yuuki Mito looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes moving slightly.
Because of Asami Yuuki's relationship, she was not unfamiliar with the organization "OSY Association". She knew that it was a charity organization dedicated to helping young girls treated by gods, and that it had a good reputation.
Not only that, she also heard some other news from her husband, a congressman.
For example, the founder of this association is actually a high school student, and that high school student has recently been rumored to have an affair with a big family.
Although it is not certain whether it is true or not, her husband is extremely concerned about this matter and even specially asked her to pay more attention to the situation of her daughter.
'This might be an opportunity.'
Yuuki Mito had a thought in his mind when he thought of this, and said happily: "In that case, I would rather obey your orders than respect you."
"Where? You're too polite." Sayu waved his hands in embarrassment, not daring to exaggerate.
In the back corner of the courtroom, a pair of boys and girls wearing black caps, masks, and couple's shirts were walking out with the crowd.
"President." He looked back at the girl behind him and asked softly: "Are we going to say hello to Xiao Xi and the others?"
"No need." The young man lowered the brim of his hat, took her hand and said without looking back, "Just pretend we have never been here today."
The girl blinked her eyes and asked naughtily: "Like two passing spectators?"
The young man nodded, "Well, just like two passing spectators."
