Chapter 1020 Drunkenness at the Izakaya

Thursday, January 17, afternoon, Kasumigaseki, Tokyo District Court.

Seeing Lan's face turning pale because she couldn't get in touch with Mao Li, Fei Yingli smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, until the last moment, we don't know who will win."

Lan asked worriedly, "Really?"

Fei Yingli smiled and said: "Of course, just drag it slowly. A lawsuit like this without solid evidence can easily reach the Supreme Court, and it is common for it to last for more than ten years."

Secretary Kuriyama couldn't help but said: "But, teacher, if that's the case, your reputation..."

Fei Yingli smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I can get it back when the time comes."

At this time, someone knocked on the door to announce that it was almost time to go to the referee court. ...

Referee Court.

Usami Shinji's killing of Hirasawa Tsuyoshi continues to be tried. The established witnesses of the prosecution and defense have finished appearing one after another, and the prosecution has proposed new witnesses.

Prosecutor Kutiao looked at Attorney Fei from the air, and said with a smug smile, "This witness is the detective Mori Kogoro."

Lawyer Concubine and Secretary Li Shan were taken aback. Secretary Li Shan asked Lawyer Concubine, "Teacher, do you know about this?"

"I don't know," Attorney Fei said angrily, "This damn guy."

Secretary Kuriyama asked: "So, should we ask the referee to adjourn the court and postpone the trial?"

Lawyer Fei thought for a while, "No, let's see what he said first."

At this time, the presiding judge asked the defense's opinion, and lawyer Fei stood up and replied that he had no opinion. ...

On the other side, Lan and the others were also taken aback. Lan complained angrily, "Really, how could Dad be like this."

Sonoko asked, "Don't you know?"

"Papa never said that," Ran said, and then asked Conan, "Conan, do you know?"

"I don't know either, Sister Lan." Conan said.

Mei Daizi said: "Okay, I think it doesn't matter who the witness is, as long as you tell the truth."

"That's right, that's right," Yuanzi said, "Even if Uncle is a witness over there, he can help us."

At this time, the procedure was completed, Mao Li was summoned to enter the venue, and after the procedure was completed, the questioning began.

Prosecutor Kujo asked: "Mr. Mori, do you know the defendant, Mr. Shinji Usami?"

Maori said, "I know."

Prosecutor Jiutiao asked, "How long have you known each other?"

Maori said, "About two months."

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Mr. Mori, do you know the victim, Mr. Takeshi Hirasawa?"

Maori said, "I know."

Prosecutor Jiutiao asked, "How long have you known each other?"

Maori said, "Probably two months."

Prosecutor Jiutiao asked, "Excuse me, have you ever had a drink with them?"

Maori said, "That's not true."

Prosecutor Kutiao asked, "Then have you ever seen them get drunk?"

Maori said, "I've seen it."

Prosecutor Jiutiao asked, "How many times?"

"This," Maori said after thinking for a while, "it's probably three or four times."

Jiutiao prosecutor asked: "So, when did you see them drunk?"

"Time period?" Molly asked.

Prosecutor Kujo said: "I mean, after they arrive at the izakaya, they usually drink for a few hours and get drunk."

"Here," Maori said after thinking for a while, "if it's quick, maybe an hour or two."

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Excuse me, did you go to Meimao Izakaya on the night of the incident?"

Molly said, "Yes."

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Excuse me, did you see the defendant and the victim at the Meimao Izakaya that night?"

Molly said, "I see.

Prosecutor Jiutiao asked, "Then, at around 8:30 that night, do you think they were drunk?"

"No, the prosecution is confusing the facts." Attorney Fei said, "Whether the defendant and the victim were drunk after 8:30 that night is beyond the judgment of others."

"The objection is valid." The presiding judge said, "Witnesses do not need to answer this question." Then he said to the nine article prosecutor, "The prosecution, please pay attention to your words."

"Yes, the presiding judge." Prosecutor Kujo said, and then asked Mori, "Mr. Mori, have you ever been to the dark alley behind Mimasu Izakaya?"

"Uh," Maori said after a moment of hesitation, "I've been."

Jiutiao prosecutor asked, "Where are you going?"

Maori said with some embarrassment, "Because there are not enough bathrooms, sometimes I drink too much, so I go there to vomit."

Prosecutor Nine Articles said: "Mr. Maori, the defendant said that he and the victim had a quarrel somewhere that night, but he couldn't remember where it was; and previous witnesses said that at around 8:30 in the evening, the defendant and the victim went out one after another. I went to Meimao Izakaya, and then heard someone quarreling in the dark alley behind Meimao Izakaya. It was the voices of the defendant and the victim vaguely. So can it be inferred that the defendant and the victim were actually arguing at that time, and they drank too much alcohol? There is a dark alley behind Mimasu Izakaya, and we quarreled when we met." Then he asked Mori, "Mr. Mori, do you think this inference is correct?"

"No, the prosecution is making wild guesses." Attorney Fei said.

Prosecutor Jiu Tiao argued: "Judge, I'm just talking about a possible situation, please Mr. Mao Li, who is a famous detective, use his talent as a detective to help identify it."

The presiding judge thought for a while and said, "Mr. Maori, you can decide for yourself whether to answer or not."

"My detective's speculation, I think it is." Mao Li smiled happily, "It was the two of them who were arguing at the time." With blue veins popping up on lawyer Kanfei's head, Prosecutor Kutiao held back his smile and continued to ask Mao Li He said, "Mr. Maori, when was the last time you saw the defendant on the night of the incident?"

Maori said: "The last time I saw the defendant was around 8:30 that night."

Prosecutor Kutiao asked, "So, when was the last time you saw the victim on the night of the incident?"

Mao Li said: "The last time I saw the victim was around 9:30 that night."

Prosecutor Kujo asked: "Can it be said that after the defendant and the victim left Mimasu Izakaya at 8:30 p.m., the victim returned to Mimasu Izakaya to continue drinking?"

Molly said, "Yes."

The Jiutiao prosecutor asked: "Mr. Maori, here are three personal questions. If you don't want to answer them, you don't have to answer them."

Maori said, "Okay, please ask."

Prosecutor Kutiao asked: "Mr. Maori, the first personal question I would like to ask you is, what do you usually do when you are drunk?"

"Uh," Maori said after thinking for a while, "Just lie there for a while, and go home when you sober up and can go back."

Prosecutor Nine Articles asked: "In other words, you cannot move when you are drunk, and you can go home only when you are not drunk. At this time, you are conscious, because you know the way home. Is it this way?"

Maori thought for a while and said, "You can put it this way."

Prosecutor Jiu Tiao said: "Please answer clearly, yes or no."

"Well," Maori thought for a while and said, "Yes."

Prosecutor Kutiao asked: "I would like to ask your second personal question, besides taking a nap on your stomach to sober up after you were drunk, did you ever leave when you were unconscious?"

"Yes." Molly said.

Prosecutor Kujo asked: "The third personal question I want to ask you is, did you ever fight with someone when you were drunk and unconscious?"

"Uh," Maori scratched his face in embarrassment, "yes."

Prosecutor Kutiao asked, "Then you didn't know you were fighting until you woke up, isn't that true?"

Maori said, "Of course."

Prosecutor Kujo asked: "So, did you see your opponent at that time?"

Maori said, "I see."

Prosecutor Kujo asked, "Then how many times do you think you hit your opponent while you were drunk?"

"This," Maori said after thinking for a while, "it must be a lot."

The Jiutiao prosecutor asked: "Please be more specific. Is there more than 20 hits?"

Maori nodded and said, "There must be."

Prosecutor Kutiao asked: "So, are your opponent's injuries concentrated in one place, or are they all over the body?"

Maori said, "It's all over the body."

"Thank you." Prosecutor Kujo said to Mao Li, and continued, "Judge, all jurors, the cause of death of the victim was a fatal blow to the back of the head, but there were no injuries on other parts of the body, that is to say, the defendant was conscious at the time. hit the victim from behind and not drunk as stated in the confession."

"According to previous witnesses, since Meimao Izakaya opened, the defendant only drank at Meimao Izakaya in order to take care of his ex-wife's business. For an hour or so, no one from any other restaurant in Kabado Town’s Huanyin Street had seen the defendant, so I deduced that the defendant passed away because of drunkenness after arguing with the victim at 8:30 that night. An empty place, and about an hour later, the defendant woke up and found the drunk victim, and then attacked and killed him from behind."

"That's all I have to say, thank you."

Afterwards, when Lawyer Concubine entered the stage, Mao Li immediately felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, and couldn't help shivering.

Lawyer Fei said, "Mr. Maori."

"Yes, yes." Maori replied with a guilty conscience.

Lawyer Fei said: "I just have one question, do you think it is possible that someone who understands the grievances between my client and the victim, after picking up the defendant's bicycle key, went to kill the victim and take my client's Bike keys were thrown at the scene to blame my client."

"As a detective, please use your wisdom to verify my inference."

Mao Li sweated, "Yes, yes, it is entirely possible."

Lawyer Fei said, "I've finished my sentence."

Afterwards, the court was suspended again, and as soon as the presiding judge and others left, Lan went straight to the court and took Mao Li away, and brought Mao Li to Fei Yingli's lounge to question her.

Under the torture of Lan Daxing, Mao Li screamed in pain and told what happened. On the afternoon when the note was left, the Jiutiao prosecutor called Mao Li to invite him to dinner. People's affairs agreed.

Lan asked, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

Mao Li said with a guilty conscience: "You didn't ask, so what can you say?"

"You're making sense." Lan shouted, "What's the matter with the mobile phone, why is it turned off?"

"Ah, that has nothing to do with me." Mao Li quickly took out his mobile phone and handed it in. "This thing seems to be broken. Recently, it always shows that it has no power, and then automatically shuts down."

Lan pressed the power button, but found that it really couldn't be turned on, "Okay, I believe you this time."

Yuanzi gloated and said, "Wait, maybe uncle broke it himself."

"How is it possible," Molly cried, "this thing costs a lot of money."

"I believe in uncle." Mei Daizi smiled, "Uncle just ran to Meimao Izakaya to save money."

"How much will you save?" Sonoko asked.

"After deducting the tram fare," Mei Daizi said with a smile, "it's more than a hundred yen."

"Okay, stop making trouble." Fei Yingli shook her head and smiled, and then asked Mao Li, "What do you, a famous detective, think about this incident?"

Mao Li said: "If you can't postpone the retrial, you will lose the first trial."

Fei Yingli said: "I know, I'm not talking about the lawsuit, I'm talking about the murder case."

Mori said: "According to my investigation, it is true that no one saw Usami Shinji after he left Mimasu Izakaya on the night of the incident."

"You went to investigate?" Fei Yingli was a little moved.

"No, I just chatted with those people while drinking." Mao Li was a little embarrassed, and continued, "So far, the police have not found any clues that can prove that there is another murderer. Your lawsuit is very troublesome."

Fei Yingli smiled and said, "No matter how troublesome it is, we must continue."

Maori asked, "So, what are you going to do next?"

Fei Yingli sighed: "Is there any other way to ask for a postponement of the retrial on the grounds that the witnesses have not arrived, and then try your luck to see if you can find new clues."

Mao Li asked: "Who is the witness you are talking about? Can it work?"

Consort Eri smiled and said, "The proprietress of Mimasu Izakaya, Masako Kameyama."

"Her importance is fine." Mao Li asked, "But speaking of it, both of you invited her, right?"

Fei Yingli said: "Yes, but she said that she doesn't want to think about the sad things before, and she can't insist on it, so we can't force it. But now we just use her as an excuse to delay the attack."

At this time, someone knocked on the door to announce that it was almost time to go to the referee court. ...

After that, Fei Yingli successfully postponed the retrial of the case, but the Kujo prosecutor persuaded the presiding judge on the grounds that Masako Kameyama lived in Tokyo and asked her not to take much time, so it was only postponed until next Thursday, which is only seven days.
