People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 961 The Reversal of the Silk Thread (25)

Kanami Saki's expression changed.

Last night, while Kogoro Mouri was talking to others, she deliberately positioned herself in front of him, causing him to spill red wine on her.

He took this opportunity to briefly escape from the banquet and went to the piano room to set up the murder trap.

However, he was unsure whether there was any wine residue left on his gemstone brooch.

She wasn't sure.

Since Kanami Saki wiped the spilled red wine on herself immediately with a handkerchief, there shouldn't have been any red wine residue left in the gemstone brooch.

However, at this moment, Guiyue Ying spoke these words with absolute certainty.

This made her wonder again and again whether there was any leftover red wine in her gemstone brooch, and whether that leftover red wine had dripped onto the piano in the piano room at just the right moment.

Kanami Saki was filled with doubt and unease.

She doesn't remember much about that.

After hastily setting up the trap, she left immediately. The second time she entered the piano room, it was already the time when Gerald Pegasus was killed by her trap.

Anyone who sees red liquid on a piano or a stool would assume it's splattered blood.

She couldn't possibly distinguish whether the stain on the piano was blood or red wine after entering the piano room a second time, and the circumstances at the time didn't allow her to confirm it.

Kogoro Mouri, a former detective with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, immediately cordoned off the scene after the incident.

Kanami Saki's somewhat frantic expression subsided slightly.

Her finger lightly touched the gemstone brooch on her chest. For a moment, she had an urge to take the gemstone brooch off her chest and smash it hard on the ground.

The idea of ​​smashing this gemstone brooch to pieces.

If this thing is smashed to pieces, then the prosecutor will no longer be able to prove her inference.

However, if she were to smash the gemstone brooch now, wouldn't that be a guilty conscience, implicitly proving that the prosecutor's statement was true?

The two bailiffs standing nearby had serious expressions.

They were waiting for Kanami Saki's answer, and if they found that Kanami Saki was going to do anything rash, they would not hesitate to take her down first.

The atmosphere in the room immediately became serious.

Everyone is waiting to see what Kanami Saki will choose next.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Kanami Saki ripped off the gemstone brooch hanging from her chest.

The two bailiffs next to her immediately stepped forward to restrain Kanami Saki to prevent her from destroying the evidence, but they saw that Kanami Saki was simply holding the gemstone brooch in her hand and extending it forward.

"Ghost Moon Firefly, you'd better pray that there's actually some red wine on the piano in the piano room."

"Otherwise, I will definitely retaliate against any false accusations you make against me now!"

She opened her palm and handed over the gemstone brooch.

The bailiff beside him also breathed a sigh of relief.

One of them reached out and took the gemstone brooch, handing it to Wataru Takagi, who was already waiting at the entrance of the courtroom. After receiving the brooch, Takagi immediately set off to have it verified.

Meanwhile, numerous officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department at the Kana villa were also mobilized.

They quickly took liquid samples at the scene and then drove straight to headquarters.

This is all thanks to the fact that Gana was built in the suburbs.

Otherwise, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's police cars wouldn't be able to speed back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters at that speed.

"...That's a bit risky."

Conan's voice rang in Hikaru Minamoto's ear. "This Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era muttered to himself."

He felt that Guiyue Ying's actions were a bit risky.

However, there seems to be no other solution to this situation.

The Heavenly Silkworm Silk is unique to Kanami Saki, who is highly suspected of murder. However, Kanami Saki is not the only one who can use the Heavenly Silkworm Silk to commit murder.

Although the prosecution believes that Kanazan is not the murderer.

However, he could also be the murderer, since there is a possibility that he was instigated by Kanami Saki to commit the murder. To separate the two, it is necessary to find evidence that Kanami Saki committed the crime.

If the heavy object used in the murder trap that Kanami Saki set up in the piano room could be retrieved...

Therefore, the real culprit in this case can be completely narrowed down to Kanami Saki.

Unfortunately, the heavy object that fell into the sea could not be retrieved. After all, it was not in the same weight class as the Beethoven statue and could not possibly remain in its original place.

"Xiang Yuan, what will you do if Miss Guiyue's guess is wrong?"

"So... are you going to deal with this female lawyer personally, just like you did with Aunt Fei back then?"

The words of the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student caused Xiang Yuanguang, who was hiding his face behind the scanning device, to frown slightly.

What does it mean to treat this female lawyer the same way you treated Eri Kisaki?

Ritsuko Usui is indeed capable as a lawyer, that much is undeniable, but that is based on the fact that she completely lacks the professional ethics of a lawyer.

In terms of pure legal skills, Ritsuko Usui is far inferior to Eri Iki.

It's not difficult for Xiang Yuanguang to deal with Fei Yingli now.

Moreover, Ritsuko Usui is far inferior to Eri Kisaki in terms of hard power.

He picked up his coffee and took a sip.

His gaze fell on the somewhat nervous Onizuki Hotaru beside him.

Although the situation is likely to be just as Guiyue Ying predicted.

However, since a day has passed, the jewel brooch may not still contain any residual wine, and the piano may not be able to extract any wine components.

It's perfectly normal for Ghost Moon Firefly to be nervous about this.

If things continue like this and we're still close to failure...

Xiang Yuanguang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then it seems the only option is for him to take action himself.

With his strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to use the Mind Lock to break down Kanami Saki's psychological defenses, make her reveal all the truth, and confess her guilt.

However... he hoped that the situation wouldn't deteriorate to the point where he would have to handle it himself.

From any perspective, the actual prosecutor in this case is Onizuki Hotaru.

He is merely a prosecutor's assistant. If his presence is too strong, wouldn't he be just like Phoenix Wright and Niki Hideaki, who would be too noisy and overshadow the main character?

"Prosecutor Gold..."

Ghost Moon Firefly's voice rang out.

The young prosecutor spoke with a serious expression.
"Do you think... there's anything else that needs to be added?"

"Even though I feel like I've overlooked something, but... I'm a little surprised..."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuanguang simply said in a low voice,

Do you still remember that lyric book from ten years ago?
