The lawyer called witnesses to the stand and consecutively asked Kamei Yuusaku several tricky questions.
"May I ask what was your relationship with the victim?"
"Very bad."
"May I ask where you were on the day of the incident?"
"No comment."
"Are you aware of the mental state of the involved parties?"
"Yes."
Kamei Yuusaku maintained an indifferent attitude, answering truthfully in court, and even uttering phrases like "No comment." Minamoto Tamako's mind was filled with doubt. This guy was so fearless, wasn't he afraid of being imprisoned for life?
The judge listened to the arguments from both sides and, relying on his rich experience, asked Kamei Riko a straightforward question:
"Defendant, have you recently kept a dog?"
