People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 855 Asking
Tick, tick, tick.

Footsteps echoed from outside the interrogation room into the room.

Ito Yasuhito looked up at the main entrance of the interrogation room, only to see two people he absolutely did not want to see right now appear in his line of sight—

Hikaru Mukamoto, known as the Dragon of Beika Town, and Kazuma Kiryu, known as the Dragon of Dojima.

There are only three people in all of Japan who can be called dragons, and he encountered them all today. It's unbelievable. Is it luck? Or...?

He didn't speak.

Scramble————

Xiang Yuanguang pulled out a chair and sat down.

Just as Kiryu Kazuma pulled out a chair and sat down, he saw Mugen Hikaru pull out a cup of coffee from somewhere and place it on his desk, with a little steam still rising from it.

This incredible skill immediately widened his eyes in astonishment.

Even he, known as the Dragon of Dojima, couldn't figure out how this was done. Was it magic? But he hadn't seen any preparation from Genji beforehand. Can magic be done without any preparation?
No, that seems highly unlikely...

Kiryu Kazuma subconsciously recalled the scene when he learned that the Tojo Clan was in turmoil because of the attempted assassination of Makoto Kusakabe, and Shintaro Kazama asked him to seek help from Hikaru Mugen.

At the time, he had no idea who Xiang Yuanguang, this legendary lawyer who had only emerged in the last decade, was.

In order to learn more about Xiang Yuanguang and increase the likelihood of persuading him to accept the order, he even went to learn about Xiang Yuanguang's deeds and found that everyone who had actually seen Xiang Yuanguang in court had a clear assessment of him.

—This person is not a lawyer, but a sorcerer.

Moreover, he was a great mage who was proficient in both elemental magic and necromancy. Although it was later discovered that Xiang Yuanguang was the famous dark magician Virgil, the storm subsided.

However, a considerable number of people still firmly believe that what Xiang Yuanguang used was not magic, but sorcery.

Now that Kiryu Kazuma has witnessed the magic performance of Mugen Hikaru, he can't help but wonder if those people's assessment of Mugen Hikaru was indeed correct.

This person looks more like a monk than a lawyer.

At this moment, Hikaru Mugen had no idea what Kazuma Kiryu was thinking, because his mind was entirely focused on Yasuhito Ito in front of him. If he knew what Kazuma Kiryu was thinking...

He would most likely tell Kiryu Kazuma that there is no magic in this world and that he should believe in science.

Anything can be deceiving, but science is not. Just like Professor Agasa, who has used science to create countless bizarre and fantastical things. Just looking at them makes one marvel at how limitless science truly is.

"Ito Yasuhito, a high-ranking member of the Shimano Group, is an undercover agent from the Omi Federation infiltrated into the Tojo Clan."

Xiang Yuanguang's voice was calm as he asked,

"I want to know why you made your move at this time, how you knew that Akira Nishikiyama had a plan to assassinate Sera Katsumi, and how you got your hands on a sniper rifle with the same caliber as Akira Nishikiyama's."

—Has the reasoning really progressed to this point?

A hint of surprise flashed in Ito Yasuhito's eyes.

He was aware of the proceedings of the trial, and therefore knew that Xiang Yuanguang had presented him as a criminal suspect in court. However, he was not clear about the specific details of the trial.

In fact, unless you were someone who listened to the entire trial proceedings inside the courtroom, it would be impossible to know the full content of the trial, since the court clerk would not release complete trial information to the public.

It was impossible for media reporters to set up cameras on-site to film the entire process. Therefore, even if Ito Yasuhito wanted to know, he could only learn some scattered and trivial details from this trial that lasted for several hours, and would not know the whole picture.

It wasn't until Xiang Yuanguang asked him this question that he realized Xiang Yuanguang had reasoned to this extent.

Hearing these questions, Kiryu Kazuma, who was sitting upright next to him, also perked up his ears. He was quite concerned about these questions involving Nishikiyama Akira and wanted to know the answers just like Mugen Hikaru.

However, the result disappointed him.

"..."

When confronted with Genji's question, Ito Taijin remained silent.

He planned to remain silent until the trial began, knowing that answering Xiang Yuanguang's questions here wouldn't bring him any benefit; it was better to keep quiet and wait until the Japanese Public Security Bureau questioned him to gain some advantage.

Of course, he would never betray the Omi Federation's internal trading intelligence.

However, internal transaction intelligence of the East City Gang is another matter.

After all, he never considered the East City Club as his home, and selling information about the East City Club in exchange for better treatment was naturally something he could do without.

After all, the conflict between the Omi Federation and the Tojo Clan had long since become irreconcilable.

Regardless of the reason why Dongcheng suffers losses, it will be beneficial to him.

"You're going to stay silent? Ito Yasuhito, you bastard...!"

Shiratori Ninzaburo frowned, his tone carrying a hint of impoliteness.

Sometimes being too lenient with these criminal suspects is really giving them too much credit. If it weren't for the fact that most of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's officers are from wealthy and respectable families and don't adhere to the violent law enforcement practices common in the Kansai region...

He really wanted to punch this guy a couple of times and teach him a lesson.

However, faced with Shiratori Ninzaburo's anger, Ito Yasuhito appeared even calmer, merely sneering and remaining silent, maintaining that infuriating silence.

Time is limited.

Hakuba Saguru had already warned them, and Shiratori Ninzaburo's slightly impatient attitude now also proved this point, but Mugen Hikaru did not seem flustered.

This famous and legendary lawyer in Tokyo even had the leisure to take a sip of coffee.

Then, under Ito Yasuhito's somewhat strange gaze, he snapped his fingers at Minamoto Hikaru and said,

"In that case, let's change the subject."

"Mr. Ito, what are your thoughts on giving Shimano Taijo the strength he deserves?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Ito Yasuhito's eyes.

He didn't know what Xiang Yuanguang's purpose was in suddenly bringing this up now.

However, he would be more than happy to give Shimano Taiji strength, after all, that guy did something like unilaterally tearing up the cooperation agreement and killing the chairman of the Omi Federation!

As an undercover agent of the Omi Federation infiltrated into the Tojo Clan, he naturally harbored deep hatred for Shimano!
