People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 926 The Piano Room

In the case inside the villa in Gana, simply finding the murderer is not enough.

The key is to get both the members of the villa and Gerald Tenma's manager to keep quiet after finding the murderer—that is, certain evidence is needed.

The mere fact that the two parties were in the same room makes it clear that the murderer is involved, especially since the other family clearly denies it.

Inspector Megure himself knew that this didn't quite make sense.

However, there was indeed no second suspect at the scene. Even if he felt that Mori's claim that the two were in the same room and therefore he was the murderer was problematic, he could not provide any other rebuttal.

Therefore, he looked as if he had been granted a pardon when he saw Guiyue Ying appear.

The reason is simple: since Guiyue Ying is a prosecutor in the Criminal Investigation Department, and this case has been assigned to her, the command authority will naturally be transferred to Guiyue Ying once she arrives at the scene.

So the one who will be under pressure next is the female prosecutor, not him.

This would give him some time to think things through and see if there were any other possibilities for murder.

"...What are the details of the case?"

Gui Yueying folded up her umbrella and placed it aside. She walked into the villa, looked up, and looked at everyone inside with some confusion—this time, she was the only one who came to the crime scene.

Normally, Attorney Xiang Yuan would accompany her to the crime scene to investigate.

However, this time the situation was not normal, because it was already past nine o'clock when the police report was filed, and the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office was closed. As a result, Hikaru Muto had already returned to his office and separated from her.

Therefore, it was around 10 o'clock that Ghost Moon Firefly arrived alone by car after receiving the message.

However, she felt that ordinary cases did not require Xiang Yuanguang's help. She could investigate the scene by herself, and asking Xiang Yuanguang for help would be a waste of his talents.

"Prosecutor Guiyue, let me explain the case."

Officer Takagi, who had been following Inspector Megure, stepped out and began to explain the case to Inspector Megure.

When the people inside the villa first saw Onizuki Hotaru, they were full of doubt, wondering whose child had run to the crime scene. It wasn't until Takagi Wataru spoke that they realized that she was just a prosecutor who looked younger than her age.

Ghost Moon Hotaru passed by Kana Zen and Kana Hideki.

She headed straight for the crime scene that Takagi Wataru had mentioned—the piano room at the Kana family's house.

Seeing Gui Yueying's target and direction, the others exchanged glances and quickly followed her, heading towards the piano room to see what brilliant ideas this young prosecutor would have next.

Kogoro Mouri sighed as he realized that his presence had been completely taken over by Hotaru Onizuki.

Although he has always been quite confident in his abilities as a famous detective.

However, he still had to admit that a cute female detective was indeed more popular than an older detective like himself, and it was normal that other people's attention was now being drawn away.

Kogoro Mouri was just thinking about this when someone patted him on the shoulder.

Kogoro Mouri was startled and reflexively looked at the person who had patted his shoulder. Seeing it was Inspector Megure, he relaxed and complained.

"Inspector Megure, what are you doing now?"

"Aren't you going to go with that little girl named Ghost Moon Firefly to take a look?"

Inspector Megure shook his head slightly, then stared at Kogoro Mouri and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Mori, let me ask you something. Don't worry, there are no outsiders here, and I won't tell anyone..." "Why did you come here this time? And why are you wearing clothes that are completely different from normal... Have you considered going to a shrine near Tokyo to pray for some good luck?"

"Meiji Shrine in Tokyo seems to be very efficacious..."

His words left even Kogoro Mouri stunned.

After a while, he finally realized—

Inspector Megure was subtly telling him that he was having a lot of bad luck and that he should go to a shrine or temple to get rid of it!

Kogoro Mouri immediately flew into a rage and said,

"Inspector Megure, I was simply using a disguise to enter the villa and investigate!"

"As for the bad luck or bad fortune, those are just rumors and shouldn't be taken seriously. It's one thing for others to spread them, but we've known each other for a long time. Why are you spreading these rumors too?"

"Don't bring this up again, I don't like hearing it."

He looked extremely serious.

Inspector Megure's expression turned serious as well. However, just as Inspector Megure was about to follow the crowd to check on the situation in the piano room, Kogoro Mouri suddenly leaned over and asked in a cryptic tone,
"By the way, is that Meiji Shrine you mentioned really that effective?"

—Didn't you say you didn't believe in these things?
Inspector Megure was momentarily speechless.

At this very moment, inside the piano room, Guiyue Ying's gaze had already fallen upon the murder weapon.

—That was a long sword.

Judging solely from its appearance and type, this was a weapon she had rarely seen before, and the fact that it appeared in such a place only made her more puzzled.

Ghost Moon Hotaru turned her head to look at Kana Yoshinobu and Kana Hideki beside her.

Even though her face was excessively young, looking no more than sixteen, and her height was rather disappointing, her demeanor still made those around her subconsciously become serious, awaiting her questions.

"Mr. Kana, may I ask what the circumstances were when the deceased, Geral Pegasus, was killed?"

Guiyue Ying asked.

Upon hearing this, Kanazon was taken aback. He thought about it carefully for a moment before speaking.

"I don't remember clearly, I only remember that he was arguing with me just a moment ago, and the next moment he was pierced by a long sword and died in front of me... I was so surprised by this scene that I made a loud noise."

"The reason why the others appeared at this time is also for this reason."

Hideki Kana and the others standing nearby nodded in agreement.

It was because of the commotion coming from the piano room that everyone rushed over there; otherwise, they might not have seen that amazing scene.

In response, Michel Anglade stated sternly,
"I think this whole thing was orchestrated by Ganashanze himself!"

“There was only one person in the piano room, and he was arguing with Gerald Tenma. The argument even stopped abruptly. It’s clear that Kana Zen was the one who committed the murder at that moment!”

At this moment, the expressions of Kana Zenzuru and the others changed instantly.

This matter doesn't look like it will end so easily!
