Finn was very calm and watched the surveillance video as if he had watched it countless times.

"Judge, the surveillance video shows that Hiroshi sneaked into Flying Moon Cottage 12 minutes earlier before Angeline. During these 12 minutes, what exactly did Hiroshi do at Flying Moon Cottage?" Finn stopped shortly after. His question made everyone think about it.

Then, everyone's focus was on Josephine.

Her testimony was important.

At that time, the jury box became extremely quiet. Josephine's mother suddenly grasped Josie's hand tightly as if trying to restrain her.

Josie stood up as if a pin had pricked her. Her flickering gaze was cast toward Angeline, and Angeline also looked back at her. Her eyes were gentle, her big eyes smiling as she shook her head. Obviously, she was telling Josie not to jump out and ruin her future.

Josie suddenly broke free from her mother's hand. She pointed at Hiroshi and was almost out of control when she said, "Judge, he... He tried to assault me.

Thanks to Sis Angelina's timely arrival, she kicked him away and tied him with a rope before he could do

anything to me," Josie said that and stopped abruptly.

Everyone waited closely for what she was about to say next. Both her parents looked at her expectantly. However, Josie suddenly calmed down and said with eloquence, "I asked Sis Angeline to stay with me. While she was asleep, I tried to kill Hiroshi with a dagger."

Her remark shocked everyone present.

Angeline suddenly went mad. "Josephine, are you crazy? Why are you lying?"

Josie looked at Angeline and saw her anxious expression. She smiled like an angel. "But I'm not, Sis Angeline."

That was the only way for Angeline to be acquitted.

She owed Sis Angeline too much, and for that, she needed to repay Angeline.

Jack lost the colors from his face and scolded Josephine angrily, "Josie, who instigated you to say that?"

"Dad, no one instigated me," Josie said.

Finn turned his head to look at the judge. "Judge, both Miss Severe and Miss Ares have admitted that they tried to murder Hiroshi. It's obvious that one of them is lying." The judge looked confused.

Finn turned around and asked Conan, "Mr. Waters, you're the most famous lawyer in the industry. From your point of view, I'm guessing you're able to guess who lied between the two of them. Why don't we let Mr. Waters tell us the answer?"

Lawyer Waters was speechless. "This kind of thing requires evidence. We can't just believe anything anyone says."

Finn gave him a thumbs-up. "Yeah, you're right. This kind of thing is based on evidence."

Then, Finn handed the prepared trial materials to the judge. He said, "The evidence we collected showed that there was something amiss with Miss Josie's dinner that night at Sycamore Annex-"

Jack angrily said, "That's slander. The police have already collected their evidence and concluded that there was no problem with that night's dinner."

Finn said, "The cold leftovers were fine, but that didn't mean it was the same when the food was hot. That's because there are some toxins that only work at high temperatures."

Finn took out the Chateau Lafite Rothschild that had a little wine left. "Old Master Ares, do you recognize this bottle?"

Jack's facial expression dropped a little. 'How did this bottle get here?'

"Everyone here has seen this bottle of red wine," Jack said.

"But this bottle is an 1887 Lafite which you bought for everyone."

Jack's confidence started decreasing. "So what are you trying to say?"

"A chemical compound that can make a person weak was extracted from this red wine. It's the same compound that was found in Josie's bloodstream.

Miss Josie was the one who gave this bottle of wine to Miss Angeline."

Jack's face went pale.
