People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 693 Final preparations

After confirming the condition of the body and obtaining the investigation data of new evidence.

There was naturally no reason for Mukai Genmitsu and Koshimizu Nanatsuki to stay in the Forensic Division of the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters, so they left the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters without stopping and started collecting further information at their own pace.

The old policeman who escorted the two people away from the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters couldn't help but wipe away the sweat.

If every defense lawyer is so difficult to deal with, then the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters will have a hard time in the future. Fortunately, there is only one such defense lawyer, and he is from Tokyo.

"I hope tomorrow's trial will go on as usual and not affect my salary assessment this month."

"It's a bit strange. If Taiji Komiyama died of cardiopulmonary arrest, it would be an accidental death."

"Then why did Komiyama Tsutomu refuse to allow the police to conduct an autopsy? Is it really because she had a close relationship with Komiyama Yasushi? Or will an autopsy reveal something unfavorable to her?"

Xiang Yuanguang sat in the car. He put the bag containing the investigation materials aside and pondered the case thoughtfully.

"If it is said that the reason why Taiji Komiyayama died of cardiopulmonary arrest was that it was planned by Tsutomu Komiyayama."

"Then how did Komiyama Tsutomu manage to make Yasushi Komiyama die of an acute heart attack during that time? Why did no one hear Yasushi Komiyama's cries for help when he was clearly ill?"

"Taishu Komiya has had heart disease for some time. He couldn't have been unaware that he needed to carry digitalis tablets with him. But his medicine bottle was empty. Perhaps Atsuko Komiya took the medicine from the bottle?"

————That’s even more incredible.

If Taiji Komiyama had not sought death himself, then after opening the medicine bottle and finding that there was no medicine inside, he should have called for help from others as soon as possible. Then someone at the scene would definitely have heard the cry for help and come to the rescue.

Even if the rescue was unsuccessful, the police would not believe that Yasushi Komiyama died from a heavy blow to the head.

But no one at the scene heard the cry for help, whether it was in the statement of any criminal suspect or the record of the on-site visit, which means that Yasushi Komiyama did not call for help.

Is it possible that a patient with an acute heart attack would not call for help when there is no medicine left in the medicine bottle?

"Could it be that Dunzi Komiya replaced the medicine in Taishi Komiya's medicine bottle?"

On the other side, Nanatsuki Koshimizu gave an idea.

"If the medicine in Taiji Komiya's medicine bottle was replaced by other medicines by Tsutomu Komiya, then Taiji Komiya may have mistakenly thought it was a heart disease medicine and swallowed it, and there is indeed a possibility that he was poisoned."

"When the forensic doctor from Osaka arrives in Shizuoka Prefecture tomorrow, we can perform an autopsy on the body."

The expired high school detective said seriously.

"If Taiji Komiyayama died of poisoning, then the corresponding characteristics will definitely be found after the body is dissected. At that time, the autopsy report will become the sharpest knife stabbing Komiyayama."

"Based on this idea, our next investigation target should be the people that Xiaogongshan Dunzi has contact with."

"Poison can't appear out of thin air. If it was really Komiyayama Tsutomu who poisoned Komiyayama Taishi, then she must have purchased the poison from someone, or purchased the raw materials and mixed it herself."

As Nanatsuki Koshimizu was talking, she frowned again.

This was most likely a deliberate murder.

But the question still lies in why Komiyama Tsuyoshi was able to determine that Komiyama Yasushi would suffer an acute heart attack at that time of day. If the medication was changed, Komiyama Yasushi could easily identify the change without suffering an attack.

Because the appearance of digitalis tablets produced by the pharmaceutical factory is quite regular, it is difficult to imitate by hand. "Then, let's split up and act separately."

He snapped his fingers towards Yuan Guang, his voice sounding relaxed.

"I will further investigate the information about Tsuda Hideo, Arakura Yumiko, Katsumata Kengo, and Hoshino Osamu, and look for any unusual connections between them and Komiyayama Tsuyoshi or Komiyayama Yasushi."

"If we do this, we will probably be able to find the motive behind Komiyayama Dunzi's misleading murder."

"Otherwise, if Komiyayama Tsutomu really had the means to cause Komiyayama Taishi's death from cardiac arrest, he could have simply faked it as suicide and there would have been no need to involve other suspects."

"After all, the level of the police is well known. As long as it can be confirmed that it was an accidental death, they will definitely not conduct further investigation."

"If we make a big fuss about this, it will only draw the attention of others and increase the possibility of Komiyayama Dunzi's actions being exposed."

The hedgehog-haired lawyer suddenly paused.

He had some doubts as to whether Komiyayama Dunzi was the murderer.

Although there are many doubts about Komiyayama Dunzi, these doubts are actually not supported by strong evidence. Xiang Yuanguang, who has experienced several reversals of trials, has felt the harm of subjective conjecture more than once.

If it is said that Xiaogongshan Dunzi is not the murderer.

Then all their investigation time today would be wasted, and they would be at an absolute disadvantage in tomorrow’s trial.

However, Xiang Yuanguang's thoughts only lasted for a moment.

The trial time of the court can be extended to the third day at most. Tomorrow's trial is only the first day. If there is a problem with the direction of his investigation today, he can bluff his way through it tomorrow and hold out until the recess.

There is no problem in correcting the direction of the investigation the next day.

If you investigate with worry in your heart, then worries will come one after another, and by then it may be too late to turn back and you won't be able to move forward no matter what.

Now it is enough to just follow your own ideas to the end.

"When the time comes, we will meet at the hotel and exchange information."

Xiang Yuanguang said to Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

------

Just as the defense lawyer and legal assistant had already launched an investigation.

Prosecutors in Shizuoka Prefecture are also preparing for tomorrow's trial.

However, compared to those of Genmizu and Nanatsuki Koshimizu, his preparations seemed much simpler.

After all, there was nothing difficult about this case.

It's nothing more than a plot where old friends turn against each other and kill each other.

Even if there were three more suspects who surrendered themselves, the real murderer could not escape from his sight!

————There is no doubt about it, Hideo Tsuda is definitely the murderer!
When the Shizuoka Prefecture prosecutor thought of this, he couldn't help but shake his bangs and hummed softly.

If he can defeat the great lawyer from Tokyo in this trial, his future career as a prosecutor will surely be completely smooth and bright!
