People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 1017 The Scarlet Witch

Xiang Yuanguang, who was in a bad mood, did not stay in the courtroom for long.

After leaving the courtroom, he thought for a moment.

In the end, I decided to go find someone.

—Go find someone that Xiang Yuanguang has always wanted to see, but has never been able to.

The Crimson Witch of the Ekoda region, Koizumi Akako.

This is the true magician of the Detective Conan world.

Xiang Yuanguang had been planning to see her, but he was tied up with various things and hadn't been able to go to Ekoda High School to find Koizumi Akako until now. Today, however, he had the time.

He has completed his commission for today.

As is his usual practice, he will not accept any other requests today, so he has plenty of time for the rest of the day.

There is more than enough time to make a trip to Jianggutian High School.

However, Xiang Yuanguang encountered an unexpected person.

Near the Ekoda area.

He encountered Hakuba Saguru.

This high school detective, who returned from studying in England and cosplayed as Sherlock Holmes, also seems to be searching for something in the Ekoda area, when he asks Minamoto Mitsuhiro about it.

Hakuba Saguru only looked at him for a moment before answering.
"I'm looking for Kaito Kid, or more precisely, I'm looking for Kaito Kuroba."

"I want to talk to him."

As the most famous detective in the British Isles.

Hakuba Saguru's reasoning ability is in no way inferior to Conan's. Even the detective's mistake in Koshien in the original story was based on the inertia of his thinking.

In addition, there's Hakuba Saguru's status as the only son of Superintendent General Hakuba.

The information resources he can mobilize in Tokyo are far greater than those available to any famous detective in Japan.

Finding the true identity of Phantom Thief Kid is not difficult for Hakuba Saguru.

All he needed to do was find a single hair of Phantom Thief Kid, send it to his uncle's research institute to extract DNA, and then compare it with data from the national population DNA database.

The true identity of Phantom Thief Kid will then be revealed to him.

That's how Hakuba Saguru discovered Kaito Kuroba's true identity.

"Are you doing the same thing as Phantom Thief Kid?"

"No, I'm not talking about theft, but about fighting against a criminal organization. The mysterious criminal organization you're fighting against is known internationally as the Black Organization, and it has been severely damaged due to unknown information."

"The Phantom Thief Kid is fighting against another organization, a mysterious organization jokingly referred to as the Zoo."

"To be honest, I only have one purpose in coming to Tokyo: to send a killer codenamed Spider from the zoo to prison."

"That person's real name is Günther von Petersburg II, the world's greatest illusionist."

White Horse pondered for a moment and said,

"I want to find evidence of his crimes and arrest him as a criminal in a fair and square manner."

"However, if you've been following the news lately, you'll have noticed that Günther von Petersburg II's tour in Tokyo has been repeatedly postponed."

"Therefore, I plan to talk to Kaito Kuroba, who is the Phantom Thief Kid, in advance."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Xiang Yuanguang paused for a moment before speaking.

"...Really? Why are you telling me this?"

White Horse turned its head to look at him and said...
"Because you defended Kaito Kid, you should know Kaito Kid's true identity. Moreover, you are a natural and powerful ally when dealing with illegal organizations."

“I need the help of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, but no officer in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department can trust any member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, even though the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are only separated by a wall.”

"If it were you, as the bridge between the Japanese Public Security Bureau and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department," "I believe both members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department would feel at ease, and even Kaito Kid would feel at ease—"

The famous detective, who had just returned from England, said in a low voice.
"I'll rest assured."

“I was present at your recent defense hearings, and I saw everything you did clearly. If it is you, then you are trustworthy.”

"However, you certainly didn't come to the Ekoda area to cooperate with me."

"May I ask what you're here for?"

Hakuba Saguru teased Watson, the falcon perched on his shoulder.

Like a wise man who has everything under control.

Then, he heard Xiang Yuanguang's reply.

"I've come to attend the magicians' gathering and pay a visit to the magicians here."

Hakuba Saguru: ?

A gathering of magicians? I've never heard of you being such a joker before.
How come I remember you so confidently stating in a few interviews that magic doesn't exist?

------

"...You look so strange, why are you seeing double?"

The Crimson Witch, the school beauty of Ekoda High School.

Koizumi Akako looked at Mukamoto Hikaru with some curiosity.

She looked closely for a while before realizing that it wasn't a double image, but a soul, a second soul.

—A soul that looks exactly like Xiangyuan Guangchang.

The Scarlet Witch fell silent.

Her magical heritage contains the memories of all the Scarlet Witches from the Middle Ages to the present, but she has never seen such a bizarre situation before, because the souls of the dead cannot exist in the world.

The dead have their own world.

Even if Koizumi Akako wanted to use necromancy, she would have to chant for a long time, consuming a lot of energy, and in the end, she could only barely affect reality for a few seconds.

How did Xiang Yuanguang manage to keep the deceased alive in the world?

Moreover, the deceased looked exactly like him. Could it be that one of the twin brothers died?
Koizumi Akako was completely baffled.

However, she found Xiang Yuanguang in front of her very interesting, almost as interesting as Kuroba Kaito.

—The Scarlet Witch's magic has a passive characteristic.

Every man who sees her will unconsciously develop feelings of admiration for her.

Kaito Kuroba was the only exception that Koizumi Akako knew of who was unaffected, while Hikaru Mukamoto in front of her was the second. However, unlike Kaito Kuroba, Hikaru Mukamoto might not be a special person.

It's simply because Xiang Yuanguang is a magician like her.

probably.

He must be at least a great mage who has mastered necromancy and wind magic.

"I have never heard of magic that allows one to travel freely between the human world and the world of the dead."

"The art of spiritual mediumship?"

Koizumi Akako thought for a moment, then suddenly said...
"How about you take me with you to the next court hearing?"

"I want to see what kind of medium you're talking about. Besides, you really want to win as a lawyer, right? As long as I appear in court as your legal assistant, you've already won."

—She is a mage proficient in all magic systems.

They can even take out a magic crystal ball on the spot to make predictions and divine the future!
