Chapter XII Court Trial

The trial begins!

The prosecutor had perfect evidence, but the defense lawyer made an unconventional defense, proposing a bold assumption that Matsumoto and someone killed Inoue and arranged a frame-up case.

The defense lawyer first raised several contradictions.

First, Matsumoto's wife insisted that it was Matsumoto's beach where Inoue had saved him, and asked if he could regain friendship when he went there with Inoue to drink.

Second; Matsumoto and Inoue reconciled? How to reconcile? Inoue did not tell others about Matsumoto’s wife. One possibility is that Matsumoto believed Inoue’s words and apologized for his previous words. One possibility is that Matsumoto did not believe Inoue’s words and asked Inoue to apologize to his wife. How could it turn out to be a situation where the two of them were drinking and talking about each other?

The third point is also the most suspicious place. Takayama Law Firm monopolized all the death penalty for Dongtang last year. When the defense lawyer said this, Cao Yun was sorry to smile at Takayama Apricot on the hearing table. Matsumoto claimed that it was the defense lawyer his wife found for him. Matsumoto's wife said that it was Matsumoto asking her to go to Takayama Law Firm for help. This is also the biggest reason that triggered Cao Yun's suspicion.

The defense lawyer believes that after Matsumoto's layout, he cannot be said, but can only guide him, so he designed various details, with the purpose of defending himself, so he can doubt the case and pursue credibility.

Judging from the current evidence, both parties' assumptions make sense. It may be the Matsumoto layout case, or it may be the case of Matsumoto's wife framed it. However, the evidence and the prosecutors both prefer that Matsumoto's wife and lover are the murderers.

At this time, the defense lawyer began to explain that neither the Matsumoto layout case nor the frame-up case of Matsumoto’s wife was able to do it. The prosecutor agreed with this, and at the same time hoped that the defense lawyer would provide evidence and not make any speculations or inferences.

The defense lawyer first explained logically that if it was a frame-up case, how could the car be photographed by Matsumoto's wife's lover commit the case? At least it would block the license plate. Why did they meet on the day of the crime? They didn't even intend to create some witnesses in time.

The prosecutor believes that logical evidence is not evidence, and he himself will not accept such logical reasoning. He once again reminded the defense lawyer that this is a place for courts to pay attention to evidence, rather than speculation out of thin air.

The judge agreed with this and reminded that the defense lawyer insisted that Matsumoto committed the crime with someone, who was a very professional criminal suspect. If the defense lawyer can confirm its existence, the court will send the case back to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation.

The defense lawyer looked at Cao Yun, who was sitting in the defense seat. Cao Yun nodded slightly. The defense lawyer finally showed the first evidence. Ten days before the incident, Matsumoto had found a lawyer who cooperated with his company to evaluate the division of property after the divorce, and stated that it was a situation where his wife had an in-depth encounter. The answer given by the lawyer was not optimistic. First of all, evidence is required, such as written guarantee letters, police records, and evidence taken on the spot. Secondly, even if there is evidence, it will not affect the division of the couple's property. Matsumoto can ask his wife for compensation for mental losses, but in the past few years of divorce cases, unless it is domestic violence and bigamy, the court generally does not support mental compensation. Even if it is supported, the amount is not large, at most, tens of thousands of yuan.

This article subverted the idea that Matsumoto had always had. He thought that the law would protect his party at fault. How could the law support the party at fault and the party at fault to divide the common property in the same proportion?

There is good news for Matsumoto. The court will take care of the party without fault when making a judgment. But this is care, not changing the distribution of property. For example, one million in cash and five hundred thousand in person, which is impossible to take care of. Being able to take care of the custody of the child, such as the moral environment of the party at fault must be taken into account.

Matsumoto was anxious at the time. According to his concept, the party at fault should leave the house in vain. The lawyer explained that this is morally, but it is not the case in law. Those who leave the house in vain are more due to guilt or other reasons. There is a clear legal provision for the division of the joint property of the couple. If the party at fault who does not lead to the failure of the marriage, the party at fault must take less property.

Defense attorney asked Matsumoto: "Agree to admit the authenticity of this evidence?"

After thinking for a long time, Matsumoto said helplessly: "Agree." He had only one question, why his lawyer would betray him, but it was obviously meaningless to ask this question at this time.

The defense lawyer turned to the jury and the judge and said, "That is to say, Matsumoto knew that Inoue was right for a long time, so there were many questions. What is the reason why Matsumoto and Inoue were drinking at the beach? Mr. Matsumoto, can you answer my question?"

Matsumoto replied: "We are discussing how to deal with this matter."

The defense lawyer asked again: "Why did you not explain this situation during the police investigation of the case and during the court hearing?"

Matsumoto replied: "Because I think this kind of thing is very embarrassing, my friend can prove that I am a person who wants to save face, so he did not explain it to the court. He apologized to the court for this." Matsumoto bowed to the judge and the jury.

"No hurry." The defense lawyer asked Matsumoto not to apologize in a hurry and asked Matsumoto: "Mr. Matsumoto, did Mr. Inoue joke about you because of this? And was it because of Inoue's joke that the two had conflicts and conflicts?"

Faced with this problem, Matsumoto was a little panicked and subconsciously glanced at the auditor's seat, then replied: "I don't know, my head hurts so I can't remember clearly. I am a witness, not a defendant."

The defense lawyer explained: "I'm proving that you are doing perjury."

Matsumoto was vague: "Maybe I have concealed something because of face issues, but I don't think it hurts."

The defense lawyer asked with a smile: "What did Inoue say to make you turn against me? Do you suggest you play together or do you think your wife can learn a new posture?"

Matsumoto got angry on the spot: "Tai Mom."

The bailiff immediately stepped forward to intercept Matsumoto who rushed out of the witness stand.

The judge warned Matsumoto and his defense attorneys, warning Matsumoto not to disrupt court order, and warned the defense attorneys not to provoke.

The defense lawyer's purpose has arrived, smile to the right.

The trial ended here. The judge believed that there were still many doubts in this case and decided to send it back to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation again. It is quite rare to send a case back to the Metropolitan Police Department twice to investigate. It is not the Metropolitan Police Department, but even the judge smelled a strange smell. The defense lawyer said that the judge was very supportive. Whether it was framed or layout in this case, his methods of committing the crime were very clever, and it was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.

The Metropolitan Police Department attaches great importance to this case and transferred it to Dongtang's strongest criminal investigation team: Dongtang's first search class. However, it takes less time to completely overturn the evidence and conclusions and start the investigation again. However, for lawyers, it doesn't matter who the murderer is and who is the innocent. Their job is to defend, not to find the real murderer. From a work perspective, at least Cao Yun's work has ended.
