People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 918 New Commission?
—————June 15th, 1:30 PM—————

—————Tokyo District, Mukai Gen Law Firm——————

"Huh? This series of cases can uncover so many related matters?"

Sitting on the sofa, dangling precariously because his legs couldn't reach the ground, the elementary school student exclaimed in surprise, a hint of regret creeping into his heart—

If only he hadn't left halfway to investigate other matters, but instead had plunged in and investigated to the end.

This series of events seems to have reached its limit at this point in the investigation, but a more thorough investigation would certainly uncover more information, and it might even be related to the original Mihana Construction Company...

Conan still has a strong memory of the Mikasa Construction Company incident.

After all, not every thug from a shell company can accurately strike the man on the head. He had to take a taxi all night and drive through several outlying parking lots to find the shell company and rescue the man.

According to Inspector Megure's subsequent remarks, Beika Construction Company was actually a front for some kind of underground trading network, and the information floppy disk contained a large amount of shady information about these underground transactions...

"Speaking of which, where is Nanatsuki Koshimizu? Where has she gone?"

He glanced around the interior of Xiangyuan Law Firm, then asked directly.

Unlike Ai Haibara, he had visited the Mugen Law Firm more than once and knew Nanatsu Koshimizu even before Hikaru Mugen did, so he knew a little about the personality of this seemingly timid female detective.

The other person doesn't seem like the type to go out at this time.

Did you two have a fight?

After learning all the information about the Tojo Clan incident, Conan immediately turned his attention to Hikaru Mugen, trying to uncover more hidden information from him.

However, his animal friends don't seem to care about his ideas.

Xiang Yuanguang merely picked up his coffee, took a sip, and then replied.
"Yueshui went on a trip, saying she was going to improve her detective skills as well."

—Has Nanatsuki Koshimizu gone on a trip? A study tour?
A look of understanding flashed in Conan's eyes.

That's not surprising, since the reason why Nanatsuki Koshimizu came to Tokyo and received the invitation from Narumi Asai was simply because Nanatsuki Koshimizu was on a study tour in Tokyo.

Now that she has spent so much time in Tokyo, it's not surprising that she has chosen to continue her study tours.

As for improving oneself...

He turned his head to look at the blue-haired hedgehog next to him, and could somewhat sense what Koshimizu Nanatsuki was thinking.

Conan, who knew Xiang Yuanguang much earlier than Koshimizu Nanatsuki, knew very well what level of lawyer and detective Xiang Yuanguang was at the beginning. He was a genius who solved cases entirely by relying on surveillance cameras and flying bricks.

Its eyesight is so sharp that it can see things that ordinary people cannot, making it practically a human version of Star Platinum.

In Conan's opinion, apart from not being able to stop time, this guy is no different from Star Platinum. His main strengths are his incredible power and ability to send bricks flying.

However, the growth rate of the source light gradually increased and became faster and faster.

Especially during the incident on Moonshadow Island, when Ghost Moon Flowing Cloud intervened in the trial and forced them into a corner, even he was somewhat helpless for a moment.

However, at that moment, Genji seemed to have divine assistance, single-handedly reversing the situation. From that moment on, Conan could clearly sense that this guy's strength was improving at an unimaginable speed, and now... his reasoning ability was probably only slightly inferior to his own.

Even Heiji Hattori's reasoning ability might not be as good as Hikaru Mugen's now.

—If Hikaru knew what Conan was thinking, he might give an awkward smirk.

When he was driven to the brink of defeat by Onizuki Ryuun, he couldn't have turned the tide on his own. What enabled him to do so was the activated Magatama...

It was the prosecutor, Reiji Mitsurugi, from the Reverse World who intervened at that time, guiding him to use logic chess, which enabled him to resolve that crisis.

In short, he's still unsure whether his abilities have reached the level of Phoenix Wright or Reiji Mitsurugi.

"If I were to watch helplessly as you surpass me in my strongest area, I would break down my defenses and go off on my own to study reasoning skills and logical thinking."

The Death God Elementary School Student said so.

However, it must be said that being a detective is a profession that relies heavily on talent. While training and memorizing a large number of cases may improve one's reasoning ability to a certain extent, it is unlikely to take it any further.

Just like Conan now.

In terms of deduction alone, he has already reached the pinnacle. Apart from his father, Yusaku Kudo, who might be slightly better than him in certain situations, he has never met any other famous detective who can surpass him in deduction.

"So, Xiang Yuan, what are you planning to do next?"

He leaned back in his chair and, before Xiang Yuanguang could answer, began to speak.
"I don't think anyone will call you to commission anything for the time being. Although you have indeed proven your abilities, you are now in the eye of a terrifying media storm."

“No matter what the case is, if you were asked to defend someone at this time, things would probably get complicated.”

"I guess you're planning to take a good rest and relax during this time, and then see if you have any other defense cases after the media storm has passed."

The Grim Reaper Elementary School student turned his head to look at Xiang Yuanguang.

He frowned slightly and said with some surprise,

"I guessed wrong? You still have clients?"

As a famous detective, Conan is also skilled in deduction based on micro-expressions. He immediately noticed a subtle change in Hikaru's expression, thus confirming that his previous deduction had been flawed.

It seems that Xiang Yuanguang actually accepted another commission at this time.

"You really can't sit still... But, Xiang Yuan, you're not the kind of person who doesn't know what's important. Since you've taken on a commission at this time, it must be a pretty important one, right?"

"Would you like me to tell you the details? I happen to be free right now, I can take a look for you."

Conan said so.

Actually, he was just itching to try his hand at solving other cases because he had missed a major event. However, while he was in high spirits, he immediately frowned.
