Traveling through Conan: Buying Poirot Cafe at the beginning

Chapter 135 The court session begins! betray?

Mihua City People's Court.

Yang Ming walked in and sat on the auditorium.

The scene is almost ready, and the court will begin soon.

The judge was a man who looked very old, wearing a black suit and sitting in the center of the courtroom, with two young recorders on the left and right.

The prosecutor, as the plaintiff, sat on the left side of the courtroom. Fei Yingli, as the defendant, sat on the right side of the courtroom.

"The trial of this case against the defendant Shinji Usami will now begin. First, let the prosecutor read the contents of the indictment."

The audience at the scene was almost full, looking straight ahead, waiting for the court to begin.

Prosecutor Reiko Kujo stood up, took her own documents and began to read aloud:

"The defendant, Usami Shinji, committed murder under the influence of alcohol. According to Article 1 of the Criminal Code, he begs the judge to sentence him to murder."

While Reiko Kujo read the indictment, Feiying whispered to the secretary beside her.

"Are those the only witnesses the other side has?"

"Not bad, just as we expected."

After Kujo Reiko finished reading the indictment, Yang Ming in the crowd was a little nervous, probably because it was his first time in such a place.

"Okay, now we start questioning the witnesses."

The judge sitting in the center wanted to continue questioning the witnesses, and he wanted to see something different in the second public trial.

"Wait a moment, presiding judge."

Kujo Reiko stood up and raised her hand to signal.

"What do you want, prosecutor?"

"Prior to this, we request to summon new witnesses to appear in court."

Fei Yingli and Kuriyama looked at each other, obviously not expecting that the other party was actually prepared.

The crowd was also stunned. Could it be that the matter has already come to an end? The accuser actually had witnesses. From the looks of it, Hirasawa was killed by Usami.

"allow."

The judge sat in the center and spoke loudly.

Kujo Reiko raised the corners of her mouth and introduced the new witness to everyone.

"He is Mr. Kogoro Mori who is running the Mori Detective Agency and is known as Sleeping Kogoro."

As soon as Kujo Reiko finished speaking, the scene began to buzz with discussion. Xiaolan and Conan's expressions changed, and Yang Ming in the crowd also had a playful expression.

The relationship between husband and wife? What is going on?

"What's going on here, lawyer?"

"I am not sure as well."

"Dad, why did he become a witness for the prosecution?"

Xiaolan murmured to herself, and Yang Ming's mind suddenly moved, and he knew what Reiko Kujo had planned.

"Does the defense have any comments?"

"The defense has no objection."

"Okay, since Mr. Mouri Kogoro has been summoned in this way, he will appear in court immediately to testify for the prosecution."

The judge had a simple exchange with Fei Yingli. Fei Yingli stared at Kujo Reiko and said secretly: What are you planning?

Fei Yingli looked at Kogoro walking towards the center of the court with doubts, but the current situation did not allow her to go forward and ask immediately.

Kogoro sat in the center of the room, the seat reserved for witnesses. Kogoro closed his eyes and waited for questioning.

Kujo Reiko stood up and walked towards Kogoro who was sitting in the middle.

"Mr. Mori, what were you doing at what time on the night of the crime?"

Kogoro opened his eyes, stared at Kujo and began to speak word for word.

"I was drinking at a pub called Jiumushi Noboru."

Kujo circled around Mouri, who was bored and looked straight ahead.

"After drinking two bottles of wine, you fell asleep at the front desk, right?"

"You're right."

"Do you remember what time you woke up?"

"I think it was nine-twenty-five."

"Why do you remember it so clearly?"

"While I was dozing off, someone called my mobile phone. The boss's wife immediately woke me up. At that time, my mobile phone showed nine twenty-five."

"Excuse me, was there anyone else in the store at that time?"

"I was the only one at the time, but I saw that the mobile phone signal was not very good at the time, so I walked outside to answer the call. A man came in at this time."

"Do you remember what this man looks like?"

"Of course I remember, this person is Mr. Usami sitting over there."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience started discussing again. Kogoro is obviously a witness invited by the prosecution, so why is he speaking now to provide an alibi for the defendant?

Fei Yingli's expression relaxed, now her alibi was established.

"I was so surprised just now when I heard that my father testified for the prosecutor. It seems that my father is still on my mother's side."

Yang Ming squinted his eyes and thought: It's too early to be happy, the prosecutor's methods haven't been used yet.

Kujo Reiko said to the judge: "I have no problem."

"Okay, now let the defense lawyer question the witnesses."

"Yes, please, Mr. Mori, do you know how long Usami stayed in the store before leaving?"

Kogoro turned his head to the side, he was still angry about what happened the day before yesterday.

"He stayed there for half an hour and left around ten o'clock."

"So, the defendant stayed in the tavern between 9:30 and 10 o'clock, the time of death estimated by the police, right?"

"It's true that it's like this."

Although Kogoro was angry with Fei Yingli, he still spoke up to testify.

"I'm done asking."

Fei Yingli made eye contact with the judge. Kujo Reiko is now very relaxed and spinning her pen. He snorted coldly.

"Please now..."

When the judge was about to pronounce the verdict, Kujo raised his hand and attracted all the attention.

"Mr. Presiding Judge, can I ask one last question?"

"allow."

The judge was not angry because his words were interrupted, but generously gave Kujo a chance.

"Mr. Mori, you just said that it was Jiumushi Noboru's boss lady who woke you up when you were asleep, right?"

"Correct."

"Excuse me, where did you put your cell phone at that time?"

"Of course it's in my coat pocket, and the coat is hanging on the hanger next to the counter."

As soon as Kogoro finished speaking, Fei Yingli's expression suddenly changed. She had already guessed what Kujo wanted to do.

"Does this mean that when you are sleeping on your stomach, anyone can adjust the time on your phone? For example, the proprietress of that store."

"I object. The accusations made by Officer Kujo are all based on his own speculation."

Fei Yingli had been prepared for a long time. After Kujo spoke, she immediately raised objections and did not give the other party more opportunities.

"Please ask the prosecutor to make a statement based on the facts."

"I know about the presiding judge, and now we request to summon the proprietress of Jiumusheng Tavern as a new witness."

"With permission, we will summon the proprietress of Jiumusheng Tavern immediately."

Usami's expression went from listless to frightened. Is this different from what was promised?

Yang Ming sighed. It seemed that the situation was over. If there was no new turning point, Usami would be identified as a murderer, and the legend of the undefeated queen would also stop.
