People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 834 The Stubborn Prosecutor
"Has Xiang Yuanguang already left? He really left quickly."

When Iwai Sayoko finished organizing the materials at hand, categorized and folded them neatly, and then picked them up and left the courtroom, the defense table was empty, and the blue hedgehog was nowhere to be seen when she reached the entrance of the courtroom.

She couldn't help but sigh, secretly marveling at how fast Xiang Yuanguang had run away.

In response, Kazami Yuya, who had just finished exchanging information with Xiangyuan Guang and was preparing to re-determine the next course of action, was still standing at the entrance of the courtroom, speaking directly without turning his head.

"There's nothing we can do. Unlike us, Attorney Xiang Yuan has been alone from beginning to end."

"Since he also intends to find out and prove the truth he has deduced in his own way, he must race against time to collect witnesses and evidence."

“But we are different. These things are handled by specialized people who collect evidence. We only need to determine the direction of the investigation and then wait for the evidence to come to us.”

Kazami Yuya's voice might sound somewhat sarcastic to those ambitious prosecutors.

However, for prosecutors at the Ministry of Public Security, this was perfectly normal.

After all, prosecutors from the Ministry of Public Security are essentially a manifestation of the will of the Japanese Public Security Bureau. Their statements and the evidence they submit are basically done in accordance with what the Japanese Public Security Bureau gives them or requires.

If I were to investigate on my own, it would actually worsen my image with the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

Just like Makoto Kusakabe, who is currently hospitalized and under observation, his actions of collecting evidence and witnesses on his own have indeed earned him considerable prestige in the Tokyo area.

However, this also left Makoto Kusakabe stuck in this position, unable to advance any further no matter what.

After all, prosecutors in the Ministry of Public Security ultimately have to act according to the wishes of the Japanese Public Security Bureau. Even if Makoto Kusakabe is an ace prosecutor, a prosecutor in the Ministry of Public Security who openly opposes the Japanese Public Security Bureau, he will never be promoted.

"That's true. Well then, I'll head back now?"

"By the way, Officer Kazami, there's something I have to ask you right now, which is... did you leave me with some information? For example, you didn't give me some of the information on Goro Majima."

Iwai Sayoko, who nodded in agreement, was preparing to leave.

But in that instant, he suddenly turned back.

The chief prosecutor of the Tokyo Public Security Bureau stared at the police officer in charge before her, then asked him bluntly, adding a few more questions.
"If this happens again, you must tell me in advance."

"Although as a prosecutor from the Ministry of Public Security, I will cooperate with your operation, your operation cannot completely exclude me, to the point that I am missing out on key information."

—This sounds a bit strange.

Kazami Yuya finally turned to look at Iwai Sayoko.

This was the first time he had looked directly at Sayoko Iwai since the trial ended, because what Sayoko Iwai had just said surprised him greatly; it was really too strange.

Of course, it's acceptable for a normal prosecutor to feel dissatisfied with such a situation and speak out about it.

However, as the chief prosecutor of the Public Security Bureau, Iwai Sayoko is known for doing everything according to the wishes of the Japanese Public Security Bureau. Why would she suddenly make such a request at this time?
Shouldn't Sayoko Iwai think that as long as she continues like this, she can achieve her goals and complete her work?

"...Why are you looking at me like that?"

Iwai Sayoko freed one hand and adjusted her black-rimmed glasses. She stared at the police officer in charge for a while, then suddenly realized why he was looking at her like that. She sighed softly and then spoke.

"But after confronting that guy head-on, I guess I've somewhat returned to my original intention as a prosecutor."

"A genius lawyer who can easily stir up everyone's emotions, no matter how many times you watch him, makes you excited and unable to resist giving it your all to challenge him."

They didn't say much about it.

Kazami Yuya quickly recovered from his surprise, then nodded and answered directly.
"I understand, Prosecutor Iwai. I will hand over all the evidence to you at tomorrow's court hearing."

Having received such assurance, the chief prosecutor turned and walked away from Kazami Yuya's sight.

As the sound of high heels faded into the distance, a sense of melancholy welled up in Yuya Kazami's heart.

Xiang Yuanguang is a truly unique person. No matter who you are, when you meet Xiang Yuanguang, you will subconsciously reveal your true inner self. While uncovering the bright side of people's hearts, you also expose the dark side of their hearts.

Even a complete slacker like Iwai Sayoko was changed because of Kou Gen's existence.

It's hard to imagine how hopeless people in this industry must be to remain unchanged by Xiang Yuanguang's existence—oh, such people seem to have actually existed.

Kazami Yuya's mind flashed back to the defendants he had seen.

That was information about Kou Gen, obtained from the local branch of the Japanese Public Security Bureau in the Shikoku region. The chief prosecutor of that area, Ryuun Kizuki, seemed to be such an incorrigible person.

And it seems that these veteran prosecutors have not completely withdrawn from the trial stage despite the disappearance of the old Ministry of Justice.

Similar figures seem to exist all over the country, which makes one worry about the future of this nation—but that's too far away for him; he should focus on the present.

Kazami Yuya carried the documents and walked towards the courtroom door.

He now needs to go to Kamurocho to meet with Amuro Tooru, who has already taken action. If he can't meet with Amuro Tooru and have a proper talk, he won't be able to understand the situation in the courtroom through phone calls or other means of communication.

Today's court hearing was incredibly complicated; even he, who was present, almost got caught up in it, let alone Amuro Tooru, who could only listen to his retelling while his mind was focused on the investigation.

call out----

The black luxury car, carrying the instructions given to the Japanese public security and prosecution by the presiding judge, sped from Beika Town toward Kamurocho and disappeared completely from the vicinity of the Tokyo District Court in an instant.

Meanwhile, within Kamurocho, another change was escalating and teetering on the brink of eruption.

"...Where's Haruka?"

"Kiryu Kazuma asked."

He was still wearing his classic white suit, standing in front of several members of the Nishikiyama Group. His aura as the Dragon of Dojima was unmistakable at this moment, inspiring fear in all who beheld him.
