People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 914 Xiang Yuanguang's Mysterious Magic
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers cordoned off the park where the helicopter crashed and began investigating the wreckage inside the park. Kyohei Jingu, who was inside the helicopter, was confirmed dead.

Most of the billions of yen he was carrying were destroyed in the helicopter explosion.

However, a small amount of yen, packed in boxes, was scattered throughout Kamurocho, causing a brief surge of interest within the town.

Although the vast majority of the money was recovered by the police afterward, some yen remained unaccounted for, ending up in the hands of different people and giving some of them a new lease on life.

However, that is no longer relevant to the current case.

"That should be fine."

After waking up from his coma, Kazami Yuya quickly returned to the Millennium Tower.

In addition to directing members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau to take photos and collect evidence from the secret room on the top floor of the Millennium Tower, he also ordered the remaining yen to be tallied—this amount was certainly less than 10 billion yen.

However, according to the Japanese Public Security Bureau's estimate, the total amount in the secret room before Jingu Kyohei opened it was around 10 billion yen. Therefore, even though not all of the 10 billion yen was found, it was still enough to serve as decisive evidence.

As Kazami Yuya took notes in his notebook, he spoke to Amuro Tooru beside him.
"Mr. Amuro, the investigation into Jingu Kyohei's other crimes is almost complete. We've also retrieved the ledgers related to the Tojo Clan's money laundering that Attorney Xiang Yuan mentioned in court."

"The Tojo Clan's theft of 10 billion yen, and the subsequent Jingu Kyohei embezzlement case, can all be considered closed. However, there are still some things I don't understand..."

Hearing this, Amuro Tooru turned his head to look at Kazami Yuya with some confusion.

He didn't know that now that the case was so clear, and there were plenty of witnesses and evidence, there was still something that Kazami Yuya couldn't understand.

Kazami Yuya then said, somewhat puzzled,

"As Attorney Xiang Yuan mentioned during the trial, the ledger containing records of transactions between Jingu Kyohei and the Tojo Clan, which is kept inside the Tojo Clan, is hidden in a very secret place. Even Sera Katsu's confidants do not know its location."

"How exactly did Attorney Xiang Yuan know the exact location of that ledger?"

"I don't remember him having had much contact with Sera Katsu, yet he managed to obtain such crucial information. It's unbelievable. Could it be that he really possesses the legendary psychic abilities?"

Although he has never really believed in these supernatural and ghostly things.

However, there are just too many supernatural things about Xiang Yuanguang, and now this special situation that is clearly inexplicable by common sense has appeared, making it hard not to suspect that Xiang Yuanguang really has psychic abilities.

Besides, this isn't the first time this guy has used wind magic in the courtroom...

"...Spiritualism?"

Amuro Tooru's eyes narrowed slightly at the mention of this word.

He didn't believe in psychic abilities or magic. If magic or psychic abilities truly existed, the Black Organization wouldn't have pinned their hopes on a panacea.

—Given the sheer size of the Black Organization, if magic truly existed, they would certainly be able to obtain it.

However, as a codenamed member infiltrating the Black Organization, he has never actually heard any news about magic, and therefore, he does not believe in the existence of magic at all.

However, if magic really exists...

He actually wanted to use his psychic abilities to meet up with his old friends from his time at the police academy.

Amuro Tooru's thoughts wandered, but he quickly returned to reality. Looking at the top floor of the Millennium Tower, which was now sealed off, he couldn't help but feel a slight headache.

This matter didn't seem like a big deal at first, but it inexplicably developed to this point, even involving two former prime ministers.

Furthermore, in addition to this, the Millennium Tower, as a landmark building in Kamurocho, is now being targeted because the Tojo Clan is able to openly create a secret room on the top floor of the Millennium Tower to store billions of yen.

The landmark building will be closed for at least a week for security checks.

These are all matters that the Japanese Public Security Bureau has to handle, and the subsequent public disclosure will also bear the name of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, which puts considerable pressure on him.

After all, the investigator made it clear that he was the one who was tasked with this task.

Now that things have developed to this point, even if he doesn't have to take responsibility, he still needs to participate in the entire process to ensure that this incident is resolved without causing any negative impact on the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

"Sometimes thinking about these things too much is pointless."

Amuro Tooru shook his head somewhat helplessly, not dwelling on the topic any further.

He just said in a low voice
"Kazami, now that we've gathered all the evidence, let's hurry to the Tokyo District Court. The trial isn't completely over yet; there's still the final wrap-up and public announcement phase left."

"As the police officer in charge of this series of incidents, you have a responsibility to see it through to the end."

—That makes sense when you think about it.

Kazami Yuya sighed.

He had originally planned to see if he could find some time to go to his idol's concert, but now it seems hopeless. All these things combined will take a whole week to complete.

He raised his wrist, glanced at the time, and was immediately startled.
"What? It's already this late? Mr. Amuro, I'll be going now. See you at headquarters later!"

To avoid delaying the court hearing, Kazami Yuya spoke as he led a large group of Japanese Public Security officers quickly toward the stairwell of the Millennium Tower.

They need to hurry and submit the existing evidence to the courtroom.

If nothing unexpected happens, both Attorney Xiang Yuan and Prosecutor Iwai should be waiting in the courtroom by now. This is an explanation to the public, so they can't be late!

I could hear hurried footsteps coming from the stairwell.

Amuro Tooru shook his head slightly, no longer paying attention to the situation there.

His gaze fell on the sealed-off secret room on the top floor of the Millennium Tower, then he completely withdrew his attention and took out his phone to check the messages sent by the investigator.

As he flipped through the pages, he suddenly froze.

Because the message sent by the investigator mentioned that man again.

—Makoto Kusakabe, the ace prosecutor of the Tokyo Public Security Bureau, who is currently lying in the hospital.

This troublesome top prosecutor seems to be preparing some big move again, and I wonder who he's targeting this time... It seems I'll have to send someone to keep an eye on him after he's discharged from the hospital.
