Chapter 91: Defence Attorney
Heads turned. Why in the world was he defending someone that had accused him!?
William didn’t understand. Sun-young didn’t understand. The jury didn’t understand. Did Kazi Hossain himself understand?
"What the hell are you saying?" Nash demanded. "No, seriously, out with it. Why isn’t Asher the killer?"
Kazi grinned. William wasn’t sure if he liked that look. It was almost playful. Asher was gaping, glancing between everyone, not knowing what to say or do.
Well, Kazi did and he wasn’t ashamed of it.
"Question, the cryptic message is as follows: ’Death is nice - AT’. My issue is how Tony knew Asher’s full name. Because as you can plainly see, it’s only Asher on his username. Why specifically write his initials instead of the obvious?"
"Irrelevant," Nash replied. "He’s a streamer. It’s possible Tony knew his full name. In fact, that might further prove that it was Asher. He removed his last name from the System to lay off suspicion."
"What a roundabout way of doing it." The grin on Kazi grew. "So he did see the message?"
Nash blinked twice, brows narrowing. "Yes, that is the assumption."
"How?" Kazi asked. "This whole line of questioning doesn’t logically flow since the train was in total darkness. It should have been impossible for the victim to identify anyone. The System is based on our sight. If the world is black, then it’s black. So tell me, how did Tony identify his attacker in complete darkness at a bathroom with no window?"
No response from anyone.
