People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 846 Yumi Sawamura
Shintaro Kazama's voice instantly attracted the attention of Kazuma Kiryu and Akira Nishikiyama.

Almost simultaneously, the two turned to look at Shintaro Kazama in the stairwell and Hikaru Mukamoto beside him, a look of surprise flashing in their eyes, wondering why Shintaro Kazama would be here at this moment.

However, Shintaro Kazama did not stop.

He walked past Xiang Yuanguang and headed towards where Nishikiyama Akira and Kiryu Kazuma were, his voice never ceasing.
"Jinshan, if your sister were still alive, she certainly wouldn't want to see you like this!"

—Akira Nishikiyama's younger sister?
Xiang Yuanguang was stunned.

He glanced at Akira Nishikiyama, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He wondered where Shintaro Kazama had gotten this idea from, since his previous research on Akira Nishikiyama clearly stated this.

Akira Nishikiyama and Kazuma Kiryu were both orphans in an orphanage, so why does he have a younger sister?
The lawyer in blue was puzzled, but the others in the room seemed to take it for granted, especially Akira Nishikiyama, whose face darkened instantly when he heard Shintaro Kazama mention his sister.

—If he had had the same determination and status back then, his sister wouldn't have died.

Others may not know the specifics of Akira Nishikiyama's sister's death, but Akira himself couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

At that time, his sister's condition had become quite serious, and she needed to have surgery performed by a highly skilled doctor immediately. Therefore, he tried to raise money everywhere and finally managed to raise enough funds for his sister's surgery.

As a result, an unexpected situation arose: not only was the money gone, but the doctor also fled Kamurocho overnight.

Although later, after Akira Nishikiyama separated the Nishikiyama Group from the Kazama Group and made it a direct subordinate organization, he specifically went to find the doctor who owed a large sum of money and openly ran away, and threw him into the high seas to feed the fish.

However, the dead cannot be brought back to life.

At this moment, Akira Nishikiyama's mood suddenly turned somewhat sorrowful.

It was because of his sister's death that he realized that without money and power, he could do nothing, and he would live in the shadow of Kiryu Kazuma for the rest of his life, never able to escape.

If he had money, he wouldn't have to spend so much time raising medical expenses, and he could spend a lot of money to hire a top-notch doctor to perform surgery on his sister.

If he had power, then the doctor wouldn't have been able to flee overnight on the eve of the surgery, and the medical fees he raised wouldn't have been lost, and the situation wouldn't have developed to that point.

“…Jinshan, she…”

Kiryu Kazuma sighed.

During his time out of prison, he had been trying to contact Akira Nishikiyama, but he could never get in touch with him. Even when he went to the Nishikiyama Group, he could not find Akira Nishikiyama himself, and he could not find Akira Nishikiyama's sister when he went to Akira Nishikiyama's former home.

I originally thought that after Akira Nishikiyama became the leader of the direct line organization, he was living a life of luxury and had moved to a new home.

However, he hadn't expected that Akira Nishikiyama's sister had actually passed away from illness within the past ten years. If he had known this, perhaps he would have offered more words of advice before starting the battle...

"Enough with the nonsense, since you're all here, that's perfect!"

Shintaro Kazama, unwilling to say more, tossed his hand, pointed at Haruka Sawamura not far away, and shouted,

"Where is Yumi now? Where did she hide the billions of yen she stole? You must know the exact location, tell me!"

—He really didn't know where the 10 billion yen was, let alone where Sawamura Yumi was.

Just as Kiryu Kazuma was about to give another negative answer, he suddenly realized something was amiss. He turned to look at Kazama Shintaro beside him. As someone who was essentially Kazama Shintaro's adopted son, he had a very close relationship with Kazama Shintaro and they were quite familiar with each other.

Therefore, even Kiryu Kazuma, who is somewhat oblivious to these matters, could sense that Kazama Shintaro's behavior seemed a bit off given the close proximity.

Nishikiyama always thought that Kazama and I knew the whereabouts of the 10 billion yen. So that's why?
"...Team Leader Kazama, do you really know the whereabouts of the 10 billion yen? Do you know Yumi's whereabouts?"

Kiryu Kazuma asked, somewhat incredulously,

When he was released from prison and returned to the Tojo Clan under the guidance of Sera Katsu and Kazama Shintaro, he asked Kazama Shintaro about the matter. However, Kazama Shintaro told him that he did not know.

Out of trust in Shintaro Kazama, Kazuma Kiryu never asked any further questions.

However, it now seems that Shintaro Kazama probably already knew the whereabouts of the 10 billion yen, and also knew the whereabouts of Yumi Sawamura. He had been searching everywhere for information brokers to find Yumi Sawamura but couldn't find her. Now it seems…

This is probably a case of the darkest place being under the lamp.

After all, who would have thought that Yumi Sawamura, who stole billions of yen from the Tojo Clan's internal safe, would be protected by Shintaro Kazama, a top executive of the Tojo Clan?

"...Let's leave the pleasantries there."

“Akira Nishikiyama, I need you to appear in court as a witness to give your testimony.”

Hikaru walked between Shintaro Kazama and Kazuma Kiryu, blocking their view, and walked step by step toward Akira Nishikiyama. He spoke calmly and firmly.

“You have an inescapable connection to the murder of Sera Katsu, the fourth-generation leader of the Tojo Clan. Therefore, I think it is necessary for you to testify as a witness about the relevant circumstances of Sera Katsu’s murder.”

The lawyer in blue looked at Akira Nishikiyama's physique, his gaze sweeping over the white suit that Akira had casually tossed aside earlier.

Suddenly, the silhouette of the sniper I'd seen on the top floor of the Kazama Group headquarters flashed before my eyes—

It's exactly the same.

The person who shot and killed Sera Katsu, the fourth-generation leader of the Tojo Clan, was undoubtedly Akira Nishikiyama, the leader of the Nishikiyama Group right in front of us. There is no other suspect besides him.

"...Xiang Yuanguang, stop getting in my way."

Akira Nishikiyama's eyes held a sharp glint.

When he met Xiang Yuanguang last time, he witnessed Xiang Yuanguang's formidable strength. However, that did not mean that Xiang Yuanguang could order him to do things in such an almost commanding tone in front of him!

He is none other than Akira Nishiyama, the leader of the Nishiyama Group, a direct descendant of the Dongcheng Gang!
"This is none of your business, get out of my way!"

The dragon of Beika Town narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he said,
"Of course I can step aside, but you have to beat me first."

"Akira Nishikiyama, let me see how much you've grown since we first met!"
