Koizumi Keiko clenched her fists, unable to say anything because she could not say anything. "I'm sorry, this is my personal matter. I have the right to refuse to answer."
She then looked at the judge. The judge was stunned and quickly made a decision. "The defendant has the right to remain silent."
"If that's the case, we also have the right to suspect that Koizumi Keiko's identity is fake. Miss Koizumi used this identity to enter the town and live here with a fake identity. Can we assume that you will cause danger to the people in the town?"
She turned to the audience and shook her head. "I won't harm them. I just want to live a good life here."
"Then why did Miss Koizumi use a fake identity?"
"I …"
Just as Koizumi Keiko was about to reply, she cursed in her heart and refused righteously, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. Koizumi Keiko is me, there's no fake identity."
"Is that so? We've investigated all of Miss Koizumi's identities before the trial. Your home address, genealogy, and the school you attended since you were young are all fake. Your identity as Miss Koizumi is also fake. There is no student in Tokyo University's Fine Arts Department. From this, we can conclude that your identity is fake. This is the evidence. "
When the lawyer handed the stack of documents to the judge, he had already won. He turned around and returned to the plaintiff's stand.
Koizumi Keiko's face was pale as she watched the jurors and the judge flipping through the documents. She shifted her gaze to Sakai Masao's smiling face. She had already thought of how to deal with him, but she did not expect him to take a different approach and expose her fake identity!
What should I do? What should I do? I'm dead meat if this goes on.
Wen Yuen also realized something. She turned around and asked, "What will happen if we confirm that Koizumi Keiko's identity is fake?"
"Her identity is fake. Her visa, passport, and temporary residency will not count. There is a hundred percent chance that she will be deported back to China."
Go back to China? Sakai Masao's influence in Japan covered half the sky. He could even get the embassy to show him the receipt of a political prisoner. Once Koizumi Keiko returned to China, she would fall into his hands. As for the documents, it would be a piece of cake.
Wan Qianqian was also anxious. What could she do if she leaned towards Koizumi Keiko emotionally? Is there any way to deal with the current situation? That's right!
The judge's gavel made the crowd quiet down automatically. Pairs of eyes gathered on his face, waiting for the final verdict.
"After verification, Koizumi Keiko's identity is a fake."
Wan Qianqian could clearly hear the exclamations coming from all around him, and all kinds of discussions almost surrounded him.
"How could it be fake!"
"Yes, Mr. Koizumi is the most gentle teacher in the whole school. Even my child likes him very much."
"Yes, the last time my child couldn't find his home, it was Mr. Koizumi who sent him back."
"It can't be fake. It's so good."
She was speechless. Even if the identity was fake, it was just a different name. The person was still the person that everyone knew!
Masao Sakai tidied his clothes and announced the end of the meeting. After all, he had achieved his goal. "Since the judge has made his decision, let's contact the local government and send this woman, Koizumi Keiko, back to China."
Just as he was about to leave, Koizumi Keiko suddenly cried, "I don't want to go back!"
Her voice was filled with excitement and tears. "Please, please, I'm begging everyone. I finally escaped from that country full of demons. I really can't go back. If I go back, I'll die. Your Honor, please don't let me go back, okay?"
Koizumi Keiko's crying caught everyone off guard. They looked at each other.
Wan Qianqian relaxed when she saw her battered and exhausted appearance. She watched the show with a smile on her face.
Wen Yuen looked at the people around her and asked in confusion, "What happened? What do you know? "
"It's a political asylum in a capitalist country. This time, Sakai Masao is at his wit's end."
"My name is indeed not Koizumi Keiko. My real name is Sakai Sakura. I was born in an ordinary family in Tokyo. The entire street behind my house is filled with cherry blossoms. Every time the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, I would wait for my sweetheart there. But last year, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, he didn't come. I panicked and thought that I would never see him again. In the end, I wished that I would never see him again, because what I waited for was his dead body!"
Sakai Masao stood there with a blank expression. What the hell is this?! Why didn't I know that you have the ability to make up stories?!
She pointed her finger at them and said, "And they are the murderers. They killed the people I love the most, took all of my family's assets, and inexplicably put me in a huge debt. They are gangsters who colluded with the local government. Everyone knows that, right? With our country's society culture, I really can't be sold to the red light district to pay off the debt. I don't have enough to eat, I don't have warm clothes, and I'm being tortured every day! "
The discussion grew louder and louder. As Koizumi Keiko's vivid description, the whole sad story was deeply embedded in everyone's heart and soul. It was heartbreaking and tearful. Wan Qianqian could even hear the sound of sobbing.
Wan Xinyi blinked her eyes and said what everyone was thinking, "Miss Koizumi is so pitiful!"
"I escaped by chance and came here after so many hardships. I really have no choice. I'm afraid that these people will find me again and take me back. They will make me live a life worse than death. I can only use a fake name. Please forgive me." After the tragic story, it was time for the emotional part.
Koizumi Keiko looked at the crowd with a pitiful expression. "This is the first time I've seen hope since I came here. I feel warmth. This is what everyone has given me. This is the hope that this town has given me. I really want to live with everyone forever. If it's possible, I'd rather not go back. I'll stay here and contribute my light and warmth."
She paused for a moment, and her sadness turned into a tearful smile. Her speech entered the final stage of retreating in order to advance. "Of course, I was wrong in the first place. I've long been unable to repay everyone's kindness to me, and I don't expect everyone to let me stay. I sincerely wish everyone a happy life here. You must be happy. Your smiles are my greatest support. I, Sakai Sakura, thank everyone here, Aligado!"
The whole speech reached a climax. After it ended, the whole court fell into a dead silence.
Less than a minute later, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Let Mr. Koizumi stay!"
"We can't let him go back. A country like that doesn't deserve someone like Miss Koizumi. Stay, stay!"
"Miss Koizumi is our teacher no matter what."
"I support Miss Koizumi. We can go to Ottawa to submit the application …"
It was unknown if the old judge heard the name of the government in the crowd, but he quickly knocked on the gavel to calm everyone down. He wiped his tears and said emotionally, "Miss Koizumi, no, Miss Sakai, I'm very sorry and sympathetic about what happened to you. I'm also very grateful for all the contributions you've made to our town. I don't think such a person should go back to hell. We have the right to save you. I'll apply for political asylum for you!"
"Hooray, Your Honor! That's great!"
"Miss Koizumi can finally stay. That's great."
Amidst the cheers and tears, Wen Yuen applauded with an amazed expression. "That's incredible. He succeeded just like that. The ability of language is really limitless. His mouth is almost catching up to yours!"
"Although I know that you're comforting me, why does it sound so awkward?"
There was one thing that Wan Qianqian agreed with. The ability of language was really great. Sakai Masao had worked so hard to find the information for such a long time, but Koizumi Keiko easily moved it away. In the end, she still won the battle.
If she had judged that Koizumi Keiko was not ordinary based on what happened in the past, then her ability now was enough to make people look at her with surprise!
The lawyer did not expect such a development at all. He looked at Sakai Masao, who had a particularly ugly expression, and asked, "What should we do?"
"Let's go. We'll think of a way when we go back. If we continue to stay here, we may incur public anger."
Wan Qianqian watched as the judge sentenced the relevant people and left the court. She said to the people next to her, "Now, after the court is over, Koizumi Keiko will be arranged to be in the lounge at the back. The police station and the judge will have half an hour to sort out the court documents. I want to meet her in this half an hour. I really have something to tell her."
"That's unlikely. Even if she applies for political asylum with a fake identity, Sakai Sakura is still a Japanese. The embassy will still give her a reply. During the fifteen days of detention, no one is allowed to visit her."
She could not talk to her openly, but she could not do it secretly either. She looked down at the small and cute Wan Xinyi, sat next to her, and said softly, "My little baby, help me …"
Wan Xinyi acted like a boss. She stretched out three fingers and said, "Anything is fine. I want three strawberry cakes and ten pieces of chocolate."
"No! Are you crazy?! Do you know what your surname is? "
She pouted and turned her head away to make trouble. "Don't care about me, I don't care. I want to go home. I feel bad. I have to go home!"
