People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 982 Childhood
As the ultimate gaming player.

Chiaki Nanami is undoubtedly an expert in games. Even Conan, who studied various skills in Hawaii, cannot compare with Chiaki Nanami in this field.

In a short time, the complex toy was disassembled by Chiaki Nanami's skillful hands.

After disassembling the last part of the toy structure, a blue toy key fell out.

After comparing this key with the keyhole of that slightly childlike diary, it can be confirmed that this toy key is the key needed to unlock this diary.

Chiaki Nanami aimed the toy key at the keyhole, but did not insert it directly.

She raised her head and looked at Xiang Yuanguang, as if seeking his opinion.

Xiang Yuanguang nodded in agreement, indicating that the lock should be opened.

This lock is the same no matter who opens it.

Whether it's Nanami Chiaki opening the door or him taking the key, it's still opening the door. What difference does it make who opens the door?
With permission granted, Chiaki Nanami immediately inserted the key into the keyhole.

With just a gentle twist, the lock on the diary opened.

Conan immediately came over, having already moved a stool from the side, and stood to watch.

Previously, when looking at the diary on the table in Xiangyuan Guang's bedroom, I had to stand on tiptoe to see the one in Nanami Chiaki's hand, because Nanami Chiaki's shoulders were not even as high as the table over there.

The diary was also signed by Xiang Yuanguang.

However, this handwriting is different from the handwriting of Xiang Yuanguang from high school to university. It appears more immature and even a bit crooked.

Just by looking at the handwriting, everyone could roughly tell when this diary was written.

This is Xiang Yuanguang's diary from when he was a child.

Chiaki Nanami opened the first page of her diary.

The diaries from childhood are different from those from high school and college. During that period, Xiang Yuanguang recorded various knowledge points in his diary, interspersed with a few to-do items.

This section contains a large amount of personal experiences and feelings, interspersed with a few points of knowledge.

The content of those knowledge points is entirely within the school age range.

In other words, Xiang Yuanguang did not study as hard during his primary and junior high school years as he did during his high school and university years.

"There must be some event that marks a turning point in this, right?"

Chiaki Nanami asked curiously, as if he were playing an exploration game.

Under normal circumstances, she would not ask other players.

Because in terms of player skill, no other player could possibly be better than her, asking her would be pointless and would only yield useless information.

However, the situation here is different.

Since Xiang Yuanguang, the owner of the diary, is right beside her and can directly obtain the final answer to the puzzle game, why doesn't she ask him first to get a preliminary idea?

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, do you remember this matter?"

I heard Nanami Chiaki's question.

Xiang Yuanguang narrowed his eyes slightly.

He is thinking.

If there is anything that could provoke Xiang Yuanguang, it is most likely something related to Xiang Yuandongmi. However, in his memory, Xiang Yuandongmi seemed to have run away a long time ago.

If we say that Kou Gen's transformation was due to Touya Gen, then...

So Xiang Yuan Dongmi must have returned to the manor once during Xiang Yuan's elementary or middle school years, and that had a profound impact on Xiang Yuan.

but why?
Xiang Yuanguang did not speak.

Conan, standing nearby, also connected the matter to the case of Hikaru Mugen. When they encountered that case in the Honkedai area, Auntie Hikaru had a rookie lawyer named Souki Nakano working for her, and he had asked Ryosuke Arita about Hikaru Mugen.

At that time, Ryosuke Arita mentioned Kou Gen's father.

Xiang Yuandongmi, whose stage name is MASTER, is said to have been abandoned by Xiang Yuanguang's mother after she died in childbirth, leaving Xiang Yuanguang to live alone with his grandfather, Xiang Yuanzhengtang.

Ryosuke Arita met Hikaru Mukamoto by chance when he visited Mukamoto Seido.

Nowadays, when Conan talks about the turning point that Xiang Yuanguang might have encountered in his childhood, the first name that comes to mind is Xiang Yuan Dongmi.

Conan believes that perhaps only a god-like figure like Xiang Yuan Dongmi has enough influence to affect Xiang Yuan Guang.

It would be absolutely impossible for anyone else to influence Xiang Yuanguang's life trajectory.

Based on Conan's experience during his time with Hikaru Mugen,

Xiang Yuanguang is a stubborn person who won't turn back until he hits a wall, and he won't give up until he breaks through it. If you want to change him, you have to have enough weight in Xiang Yuanguang's heart.

"This is still..."

Conan, unusually displaying high emotional intelligence, decided to steer clear of the topic for a moment.

However, before Conan could finish speaking, Hikaru had already said something.
"I don't remember very clearly either."

"Let's keep reading. There should be Xiang Yuan's answer in the diary."

The way they speak and address each other is a bit strange.

Asai Narumi looked up and glanced at Mugen Hikaru, who was reading the contents of his diary.

He vaguely felt that Xiang Yuanguang referring to his past self as Xiang Yuan was too formal. Normally, shouldn't he just refer to his past self as "I"?

However, I felt a little strange.

However, Asai Shigemi did not bring it up.

Since Xiang Yuanguang must have his reasons for doing this, it's best not to comment too much. After all, apart from Conan, no one else present should be able to keep up with Xiang Yuanguang's train of thought.

After all, he's a top lawyer specializing in reversals.

"..."

Ai Haibara's gaze also fell on the notebook without her noticing.

The two stools that were originally placed next to the bed have been completely removed.

Conan took one as a stepping stone, while Ai Haibara took another. Now they stand on either side of Chiaki Nanami, like Jiraiya in Sage Mode, which is quite comical.

However, Chiaki Nanami didn't notice that there were other people watching behind her.

She simply turned another page in her diary and began reading its contents more quickly.

— Xiang Yuanguang was visibly intelligent even as a child.

It's obvious even just in a laptop.

Compared to the model student he was in high school and college, Xiang Yuanguang was clearly a rather unruly troublemaker in elementary and junior high school.

Besides consistently ranking at the top in terms of academic performance as described in his diary.

Everything else he did was incredibly mischievous, making everyone who was just reading his diary want to punch Xiang Yuanguang when he was a child.

However, Xiang Yuanguang himself has not made any move.

It's not that he thought Xiang Yuanguang wasn't mischievous when he was a child.

Now that Xiang Yuan himself is no longer inside his body, even if he wanted to punch someone, he couldn't. He couldn't very well punch himself, could he? Wouldn't he be the one who would feel the pain?
