~11 min read 2,061 words

PS:Yesterday Tenshi saw the fifth round great situation, let two chase three, at the last moment brother E over the wall instant death, then fainted on the spot, so no update, sorry (lately why do I feel like this keeps happening?)

PS2:Don't panic, everyone still remembers T110 Snowflake losers bracket one-through! When Uesugi Muneyuki displayed the nail sample, the US Military Police report and third-party test proved it, the three people in the gallery sat up slightly. Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda Kimiaki didn't speak, but his gold-rimmed half-frame glasses strongly reflected light, making others unable to see his expression, he held a bottle of Jing Sweet mineral water in his hand, thumb lightly rubbing the bottle cap back and forth, then he shoved it hard into the groove of the seat armrest, the action much lighter than before.

Police Commissioner Watanabe Eiji sat to his right, hands crossed on his knees, expression unchanged throughout.

The corner of his mouth almost imperceptibly curved upward when he heard "US Forces Japan forensic liaison officer appears in court those few words, that was the father-in-law's reassurance.

You handle things, I'm at ease~

Watanabe Eiji naturally knows what Uesugi Muneyuki did, so from start to finish he felt little pressure, but Watanabe Eiji also clearly knows that being able to request General Zakari of US Forces Japan to help with this, only Uesugi Muneyuki could do it, after all in the previous cases of Molant Major attacking US Secretary of State and Self-Defense Forces attacking US Secretary of State, Uesugi Muneyuki helped them greatly.

If you replaced him with someone else, do you think the US general would even glance at you?

Sitting beside them was Prosecutor General Nishikawa Noble Teaching of the Supreme Public Prosecutors Office.

Nishikawa Noble Teaching had a sturdy build, his strong chest muscles pushed the three-piece suit high up, his tie was silver-gray, his hair neatly combed, he looked like a precisely calibrated enterprise number white hawk damage pipe.

His gaze withdrew from the witness stand, he slightly turned his head, his tone light enough that hardly a third person would hear it, he said to Onoda and Watanabe: "Not easy, Park Yoo-chun's team is actually quite formidable."

"Hmm?" Onoda Kanbocho gestured for him to continue.

"First go through procedure, strip your enforcement rights, because Uesugi Muneyuki is essentially still a forensic pathologist, he has no enforcement rights, even if he has suspicions he has no right to publicly identify……if Uesugi Muneyuki hadn't beforehand handed that to Meng Shao Zhi and left a complete police report receipt and backup……then this would be FIFA identification."

"If we can't strip it, we turn to the legality chain of evidence, weak positive urine test can have many causes, we must prove he used, not make him prove he didn't use." Nishikawa Noble Teaching said in a low voice: "Simpson's case prosecution lost exactly like that."

Onoda Kimiaki and Watanabe Eiji both nodded.

Simpson wife-killing case, prosecution prepared over a hundred pieces of evidence, however Simpson's defense team came up and broke the most critical node, first, the police who arrested Simpson were severe racial discriminators, he repeatedly said he wanted to harshly catch this wealthy successful career Ni Ge to leave him with nothing, second, the blood at the scene was extremely likely extracted post-hoc from Simpson's body by that police officer secretly brought back to the scene and sprinkled at key points to manufacture false evidence.

This caused the prosecution's vast majority of evidence to be overturned at the scene.

Although likely Simpson did the killing, modern judicial procedure requires you to prove he killed, not him repeatedly proving he didn't kill.

"If still can't strip it, turn to objective possibility of contamination or framing. He set up a moat at every step in advance, making prosecution have to jump over a pit for each step forward, when jumping over the last pit, you're already too exhausted to have any strength left to move forward." Nishikawa Noble Teaching's mouth corner bore an extremely faint professional appreciative meaning: "He's betting we can't be absolutely clean. As long as a trace of doubt remains, the judge won't dare lightly pronounce guilty, South Korea's public opinion can continue to hype this as 'transnational judicial persecution'."

"By then even if released due to insufficient evidence, they'll promote it as 'Japanese public authority defeated' story. That's what he truly wants, as long as he can't be proven guilty, then he'll be the ethnic hero persecuted by Japan, awaiting extradition back to his country, thousands of Korean fans will greet him at the airport crying and shouting brother, he can still face the camera and say 'If miracles had color, it must be hibiscus white'."

"What Samsung princess?" Watanabe Eiji helplessly shook his head.

Nishikawa Noble Teaching lifted the teacup before him and took a sip: "So he prepared Huang Ha-na as this fugitive target, prepared the barber as this backup scapegoat, he might even have other preparations, but this Uesugi kid is ruthless, these things can't block the methamphetamine locked in the fingernail. That stuff is locked in the stratum corneum, all external packaging, contamination, scapegoat, framing, can't reach it."

"So, is it Park Yoo-chun who offended Uesugi Muneyuki from somewhere? He fought over a woman with him?" Onoda Kimiaki looked toward Watanabe Eiji, half-smiling said.

"Don't know……anyway, now we just see how the court rules. However, nail positive, methamphetamine, US Forces Japan re-test certification, plus US Forces Japan forensic liaison officer personally appearing to testify, US Forces Korea this level of ironclad evidence, even if Supreme Prosecutors Office Korea sends people, result is the same. Park Yoo-chun has no room left to turn things over. What he can do, only remains to plead guilty for a lighter sentence."

Watanabe Eiji said meaningfully: "Still Western medicine works fast!"

When the judge retook the bench, the courtroom's clamor receded like a tide.

Everyone waited for the same thing.

Park Yoo-chun sat in the defendant's seat, hands on the desk surface, obviously not yet accepted this fact.

He knew, his days as Asian Heavenly King were over.

His chief lawyer stood up, voice dry, using a tone almost giving up struggle to address the court: "Defendant side……accepts the objectivity of the test results. But requests the court consider the following circumstances in sentencing: defendant is first-time offender, no trafficking or possession intent, case drugs are small amount personal use, and defendant has expressed deep remorse……and willing to accept all legal consequences."

Park Yoo-chun just lowered his head, looking at his own thumb.

Did you also betray me?

The judge opened the file before him, cleared his throat, voice steady and solemn transmitted throughout the courtroom.

"This court after review considers, defendant Park Yoo-chun's fact of possessing and using methamphetamine is clear, evidence solid. Urine test, hair test, nail test three test results mutually corroborate, and after Korea-US Joint Testing Center cross-verification, eliminates sample contamination possibility.","Defendant although no trafficking nor organization operation circumstances, but case drug nature severe, and defendant as public figure has greater societal influence, not suitable for lenient handling. According to Japan's Narcotics and Psychotropics Control Act relevant provisions, this court judges as follows: defendant Park Yoo-chun, sentenced to one year six months imprisonment, probation three years. Confiscate all case-related items. Defendant must within thirty days after judgment effectiveness pay fine two million yen to Japan Immigration Bureau, and bear all litigation costs of this case. Defendant may within fourteen days after judgment appeal to High Court." The judge paused, added the last sentence: "Furthermore, based on this case's societal impact and defendant's prior public commitment, this court suggests relevant authorities, after sentencing execution completes, appropriately consider re-examining defendant's entry permission."

This is henceforth no longer welcoming Park Yoo-chun entry.

Translation official synchronized translated content into Korean.

Courtroom stayed quiet a long time. Then Park Yoo-chun slowly rose from his seat, his lawyer signed the confirmation document for him, then followed bailiffs out the side door.

When his back disappeared behind the door, courtroom gallery, two representatives from Korea Supreme Prosecutors Office lightly sighed. Uesugi Have Heaven! Turns out you were Japanese all along!

You are a special agent who infiltrated my Republic of Korea domestically! Should have been dealt with long ago!

You wait, wait until we go back then report to Yoon Chong-kuk, list you as blemished artist, strip merits, never employ again!

Humph, made us specially run a trip to Japan suffer such humiliation!

You wait for me! Wait!!!

While Uesugi Muneyuki sat in his seat waiting for the judge to leave before standing up.

He tucked that paper bag under his arm, walked toward the side door, steps as composed as when he came.

Damn, brat still quite cunning, not only knows how to use girlfriend that poison queen, also pre-arranged a South Asian person!

This perhaps shows, entertainment industry's backstage indeed exists a complete channel, whether from making drugs, to providing a safe environment for these people to play beautifully, to providing sufficient judicial protection chain, even the acquittal routine arranged.

If digging deep along this line, perhaps could dig out more things……but all matters need caution.

On the courthouse steps outside, reporters already waiting there instantly surged forward, over a dozen microphones like tentacles stretching from all directions to his face.

"Mr. Uesugi! May I ask if you're satisfied with the judgment result?

"Do you think this action targeted Korean entertainment circle? Is this local protectionism? "

"Park Yoo-chun side says they'll consider appealing to Korea Supreme Prosecutors Office, what's your response? "

"Have you received pressure from Korean side? "

"For those who think you destroyed the deep traditional friendship between Japan and Korea, what's your view?"

Uesugi Muneyuki stopped on the steps, he knew these questions were pits, but no problem, you ask yours, I say mine: "I don't target Korean entertainment circle, nor target Park Yoo-chun this specific person. I only target the act of drug use itself. Used is used, not used is not used. Origin where, nationality what, all irrelevant."

"But but……don't you think doing this will ruin a great artist's future?" A Korean urgently unwilling asked right away.

"This isn't the key of the problem, the key is, our society's legal regulation on drugs is just like this, I only target the act of drug use itself. Used is used……"

"But but you Japanese artists also have had past drug use yet successfully comeback, why target this poor soul who lost his group and agency, split with and sued Aihui Company four years before finally returning to public eye, such struggle, wouldn't this be too cruel? Do you know how hard brother tried?"

"This isn't the key of the problem, the key is, through compliant testing, he himself admitted using……" Uesugi Muneyuki kept repeating, completely not answering any question, just repeating the result.

Meanwhile fans nearby started bursting into tears.

Brother really fell!!!

Then I can only announce.

You're not my brother!

Uesugi Muneyuki stepped forward and walked toward the depths of the hallway.

The group of journalists followed a few steps behind, but were stopped by security personnel at the hallway entrance.

Uesugi Muneyuki pushed open the restroom door, preparing to turn on the water.

At that moment, he heard a hurried but not heavy footsteps coming from behind him.

Asō Kōta followed him in, this short guy closed the door, leaned against the door panel, his chest rising and falling, a pair of eyes shining astonishingly, his voice pressed very low, very low, but that excitement, as if he had personally taken the head of the top archer of the Tōkaidō at the Battle of Okehazama, seeped out from every word: "Uesugi-san…… you were just too cool, just one person, just one person! You took down the former member of TVXQ plus the legal dream team of 100 million yen! And the public opinion pressure from all over Asia, and those fans'... Uesugi-san, you must be a god!"

Uesugi Muneyuki stood before the washbasin, turned on the faucet to wash his hands, glanced from the mirror at the short but straight-standing young man behind him, and smiled: "Not me."

Asō Kōta froze: "... What?"

"I mean, it wasn't me who did it." Uesugi Muneyuki looked at him, the corner of his mouth deepening slightly: "The one who killed Park Yoo-chun is you!"

"I... I?"
