People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 973 Love & Peace
Is it possible to beat a game like this?
Chiaki Nanami sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

Moreover, one of the reasons Xiang Yuanguang was able to solve the puzzle was that Professor Moriarty's prototype was designed based on him, which allowed him to understand Professor Moriarty's personality...

It seems like it didn't help her much?
Why don't we go find another gatekeeper from 19th-century London and ask him? That elementary school student is always an intellectual like her, not a forceful type like Xiang Yuanguang, right?

crunch————

The main door to Xiangyuan Omnipotent Agency on the first floor was pushed open.

The Grim Reaper elementary school student, dressed in a blue suit, arrived at just the right time.

"Xiangyuan, Kensuke Komikado asked me to pass on a message to you."

“The prosecutor you warned him to be careful in the Benchidai area is indeed a tough opponent. He asked me to pass on some good news and some bad news to you.”

Conan's voice rang out.

His gaze swept across the room, and he was surprised to find that Asai Narumi was also there.

However, upon closer reflection, it's not surprising that Asai Narumi would refresh the status of Mukai Gen Law Firm. It would be quite normal for Onizuki Hotaru, Kuma Sugawa, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, and Asai Narumi to refresh their status together.

As for Nanami Chiaki...

Because of her height, she was sitting on the sofa, which perfectly concealed her figure. In addition, Conan himself was also quite short, so he didn't see Nanami Chiaki at all.

So Conan simply walked over to the sofa opposite him, sat down, and asked,
"So? Do you want to hear it...?"

He looked up at Nanami Chiaki sitting on the opposite sofa and couldn't help but ask himself a few questions.

He believed his memory was quite good.

If Chiaki Nanami remembers correctly, he was one of the top players invited by the Sindora Foundation to demonstrate the Cocoon game. I even chatted with him at the Cocoon game event.

However, because they suspected that Chiaki Nanami might find out something she shouldn't have.

Therefore, after completing the Cocoon game, Conan went straight to the control room to talk to his father about the script, avoiding Chiaki Nanami. However, he didn't expect to run into Chiaki Nanami here.

"...Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Conan looked up and asked in confusion.

Anyway, once Chiaki Nanami watches the recording of the Cocoon Game, he'll have a pretty good idea of ​​what kind of person he is. There's no need for him to pretend to be stupid like he usually does.

Moreover, it's already a bit too late to put on a facade now.

Pretending to be an ordinary elementary school student in front of Chiaki Nanami isn't deceiving your opponent; it's deceiving your own intelligence.

As for using whatever is available at the crime scene as cover for deduction, that's a different story.

In any case, judging from the results, he was never discovered by others when he hid to deduce things, which completely proves that the cover he found was not a problem at all!
"What good news and what bad news?"

Xiang Yuanguang looked up at Conan with some confusion.

Asai Narumi, who had already sat down, also turned his head, intending to hear what this remarkable young detective had to say to that legendary lawyer from Honikedai.

"The good news is that the prosecutor you mentioned has left the Honikedai area. Kensuke Komikado said he has achieved a strategic victory and no longer has to worry about being disgusted and not getting his commission fee."

Conan glanced at Chiaki Nanami, who hadn't said anything, before speaking.

Kensuke Komikado called this good news.

Xiang Yuanguang felt it was quite normal.

As a legendary lawyer.

Kensuke Komikado isn't attached to anything except money; with money, everything is easier. And that prosecutor…

To be precise, it is prosecutor Haruki Hanyu who pursues "Love & peace".

Prosecutor Yuzuru Hanyu's favorite thing to do is to play the "grand reconciliation" game in court. If he does this, the lawyers are basically out of a job, and it's quite normal that they won't get their subsequent fees.

It's not surprising that Komekado Research Institute thinks it's good news that Haruki Hanyu's departure from Honikedai won't stop him from making money.

"What about the bad news?"

Xiang Yuanguang took a sip of coffee and asked,
Hearing this, Conan paused for a moment, then said,

"Komikado Kensuke said this bad news is bad news for you."

"Haruki Hanyu has been transferred to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office, which means that Haruki Hanyu may appear in court as your opponent from now on."

The Grim Reaper Elementary School student, having said this, asked...

Who is Haruki Hanyu?

He believed he knew a little about famous prosecutors and lawyers.

He had never seen a prosecutor as troublesome as Genji and Kensuke Komekado. They were all top-notch, but if they were top-notch, he should have heard of them.

Xiang Yuanguang sighed and said,
"Hanyu Haruki, that's a prosecutor who just returned from another country not long ago."

“You can think of him as an extreme abolitionist prosecutor.”

"What he pursues is so-called love and peace. In other words, he hopes that the perpetrator and the victim can resolve the case in a way that allows both parties to reach a settlement, that is, resolve the issue through out-of-court mediation."

Chiaki Nanami, who was standing next to her, didn't seem very interested in any of this.

She's a top-tier gamer, not a top-tier defense attorney, and she doesn't care about legal matters at all, but the mention of Yuzuru Haruki that Minamoto just made sounds quite interesting.

Love and peace?

This seems to be a catchphrase often used by female protagonists in shoujo manga. How could someone in real life use this as a banner to promote such outrageous ideas and do such unbelievable things?

"...That sounds incredible."

Asai Shigemi frowned.

Although he had never met Haruki Hanyu, just from this description, his impression of him had already plummeted to rock bottom.

There is no doubt that Haruki Hanyu's behavior was egregious.

If every case were to be settled out of court in a manner agreed upon by both parties, what about heinous murder cases?

Could Haruki Hanyu, like Hikaru Mugen, pull the deceased out of their world and then negotiate with them, discussing how the deceased could forgive the murderer?
This is utterly absurd!

Asai Narumi was already at full anger level just by putting herself in his shoes and thinking about it.

If this prosecutor had been the one prosecuting the Moon Shadow Island incident, he might have impulsively driven a dump truck and taken the whole group, including Haruki Hanyu, away.

"Zun Du Fake Du?"

Conan was startled.
"This actually works? You must be kidding me?"

How could such a thing be? He had never heard of it in Beika Town!
"He can even pull off something like this? No wonder... both you and Kensuke Komikado think Haruki Hanyu is a rather formidable opponent... his rhetoric is truly beyond imagination."
