People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 845 Upward
Tick, tick, tick.

After receiving a call from the Grim Reaper Elementary School student, Xiang Yuanguang and the others rushed to the Millennium Tower. However, as soon as they pushed open the door of the Millennium Tower, they saw the members of the Jinshan Group lying on the ground in a mess.

However, these Jinshan Group members have no connection with Xiang Yuanguang and his group. At most, Xiang Yuanguang will call an ambulance for them; he is unlikely to stay here for long.

After all, according to the information, Kiryu Kazuma has been at Millennium Tower for some time now, and judging from the current situation, this Dragon of Dojima has fought his way down to the very top floor.

Every second that is delayed increases the danger level for Kazuma Kiryu.

"The elevator is still functioning normally, however, the elevator buttons on the top floor don't seem to be working."

Shintaro Kazama's subordinates opened the elevator doors of the Millennium Tower, and he personally entered the elevator to check the status of the elevator buttons. He then informed Hikaru Mugen, who was observing the surrounding situation, of the results.

Although Hikaru Mugen has not yet responded, Shintaro Kazama knows what Hikaru Mugen's reaction will be next.

—This legendary lawyer has always been adept at taking shortcuts.

"In that case, let's take the elevator up."

"We'll stop on the floor above the top floor, and then we'll go up the stairs."

Xiang Yuanguang gave the answer without hesitation.

In a normal place, he might say why take the elevator when there are stairs, since the elevator might not even go as fast as he does. But the Millennium Tower is different.

As a landmark building in Kamurocho, it is quite tall, with more than thirty floors.

Instead of climbing up floor by floor, it's better to take the elevator and get there in one step. After all, people always need to learn how to use tools. If you don't know how to use tools, then your evolution is somewhat incomplete.

The lawyer in blue and Nanatsuko Koshimizu entered the elevator.

Meanwhile, Shintaro Kazama's men sent a few to guard the bottom floor of the Millennium Tower to prevent any unforeseen events from happening without their knowledge.

Only two of Shintaro Kazama's subordinates followed him into the elevator and stood behind him without saying a word. They looked quite dedicated.

At this very moment, Shintaro Kazama is still bound by the heart lock that he activated with Hikaru Minamoto.

Normally, after Xiang Yuanguang unlocks the heart lock, he will break and forcibly remove it as quickly as possible to regain the right to use the heart lock and prevent the use of the heart lock from being restricted when it is needed in court later.

However, he did not choose to forcefully break through Kazama Shintaro's heart lock as usual.

The reason is simple: Shintaro Kazama's heart locks are black, and there are five black heart locks in total.

If Hikaru were to directly criticize Shintaro Kazama, it would undoubtedly cause Shintaro Kazama immense psychological harm, ultimately leading to Shintaro Kazama's absence from the remaining activities of the day.

The mental block caused by facing a question that he has already answered.

Xiang Yuanguang believes that there is no need for him to risk greatly reducing the efficiency of the investigation by trying to decipher Shintaro Kazama's black heart lock during today's investigation time. It would be better to wait until tomorrow's court hearing to do so.

In addition, he also needs to get answers to some other questions from Shintaro Kazama.

—Although he could assert that the 10 billion yen stolen from the Tojo Clan was actually a scheme orchestrated by Sera Katsu and Kazama Shintaro, he, like Koshimizu Nanatsuki, couldn't pinpoint their exact motives. Mukamoto Hikaru intended to arrive at this answer during today's investigation.

Although in court this series of cases may appear to consist of only three events, the theft of billions of yen is undoubtedly a fourth component in addition to the three, and it is equally necessary to find the truth in court.

This is the most convenient and fastest way to quell the unrest in Kamurocho as quickly as possible.

After a brief acceleration, the elevator quickly moved upwards.

As he watched the numbers displayed in the elevator lobby change, Xiang Yuanguang simply moved his wrists slightly to loosen up his body before waiting for the elevator doors to open.

Regardless of whether it was a member of the Nishikiyama Group or Nishikiyama Akira himself waiting for him outside.

He didn't care about any of it; it was just a matter of spending a little more time to resolve. After all, for the Dragon of Beika Town, the number of enemies was never a concern.

Standing next to Xiang Yuanguang, Yue Shui Qitsuki was used to this kind of thing. She took a step back and shielded Xiang Yuanguang in front of her.

During his initial investigation in the Honkedai area, Hikaru Mugen single-handedly defeated dozens of yakuza members, and later demonstrated his formidable fighting abilities in other areas as well.

Instead of worrying about Xiang Yuanguang getting injured when they enter combat, she'd rather worry about how long his enemy will stay in the hospital and whether she has enough savings to cover the medical expenses.

“Mr. Xiang Yuan, if we are going to fight Jinshan later, please don’t rush to do it. I would like to talk to Jinshan. Perhaps we can avoid the conflict.”

The two yakuza members from the Kazama Group who were originally standing behind Shintaro Kazama have now switched positions, protecting Shintaro Kazama behind them, while Shintaro Kazama says the following from behind his members.

His voice was clearly audible in the somewhat cramped elevator.

Genko turned his head to look at Shintaro Kazama, raised an eyebrow, and asked.

"Mr. Kazama, are you sure you still have the ability to persuade Akira Nishikiyama to give up the fight? If I'm not mistaken, when I saw you meet Akira Nishikiyama last time, his attitude towards you was quite bad, wasn't it?"

“You might still think that Akira Nishikiyama wouldn’t change so completely, that he couldn’t possibly disregard old feelings at all.”

"However, I feel that Akira Nishikiyama might be that kind of person now... Just from our brief encounter last time, I already saw through that man's true nature—"

Before he could finish speaking, the elevator doors opened.

Xiang Yuanguang didn't continue speaking. He simply walked out of the elevator and scanned the rest of the floor, but didn't see any members of the Jinshan Group.

He walked directly to the stairwell, climbed the stairs, stepped over the Jinshan Group member who had rolled down the stairs and was still screaming in pain, and arrived at the top floor of the Millennium Tower.

Shintaro Kazama stepped out from behind his subordinates, quickened his pace, and caught up with Hikaru Mugen.

The two arrived at the top stairwell of the Millennium Tower almost simultaneously and both witnessed the battle between Kiryu Kazuma and Nishikiyama Akira. Without hesitation, Kazama Shintaro called for a halt to the fight.

"Stop, Jinshan! Don't be so stubborn!"
