People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 984 That person

There is no doubt about Xiang Yuan's talent.

However, now that I've finished reading this diary...

Xiang Yuanguang still doesn't know what Professor Moriarty meant when he said that in the Cocoon game, and there are no words left by his grandfather in the diary.

The old housekeeper also said that if Grandpa had something to say, he would have told Xiang Yuan when he returned.

Is that so?

Xiang Yuanguang suddenly realized what was happening, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

If that's the case, then it makes sense.

"What's wrong? You suddenly look like you've thought of something."

Conan looked up and sized up Xiang Yuanguang.

He and Xiang Yuanguang have spent quite a bit of time together.

They knew Xiang Yuanguang's temperament and actions very well. Just now, Xiang Yuanguang clearly seemed to have thought of something, and an exclamation mark almost popped out above his head.

His boundless curiosity prevented him from questioning things he could clearly know.

However, Xiang Yuanguang just smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything.

Upon seeing this, Conan couldn't help but feel a surge of inexplicable anger.

He was practically jumping up to kick Genko's knee.

However, thinking about it carefully, given Xiang Yuanguang's physical condition, he probably wouldn't even feel a thing if he kicked himself into the hospital...

"that's all?"

Chiaki Nanami closed the diary in her hand, her tone tinged with confusion.

Is this the end of our journey to unravel the mysteries of this historic house and uncover the past of the legendary lawyer? That's quite disappointing...

At least she felt it was very disappointing.

"Attorney Xiang Yuan, have you remembered what happened in the past?"

I saw that Chiaki Nanami had raised a question.

Conan and Ai Haibara also looked up at Hikaru Mugen, intending to see how he would respond.

If you tell Yuan Guang that this is the end, that would be perfect.

It's almost time, so they can go back to their rooms to rest. They can go downstairs for dinner in about half an hour, and that's it. They don't need to do anything else.

Asai Narumi, on the other hand, appeared calm and relaxed from beginning to end.

He doesn't value this kind of thing.

If Minamoto Kou values ​​his past memories and tries his best to find every detail of his past in the manor, then Asai Narumi will naturally do everything in his power to help.

However, Xiang Yuanguang doesn't seem to care much about his past memories now.

Therefore, Asai Narumi naturally didn't need to care too much about those things.

The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is; that would be ridiculed.

Although Asai Narumi wasn't afraid of being ridiculed by others, he still had to consider Minamoto Mitsu's own wishes in this matter; otherwise, it wouldn't be right for him to worry about Minamoto Mitsu on his behalf.

"Let's continue after dinner."

Xiang Yuanguang smiled.

He gently reached out and grabbed the pendant on his chest, then took it off and put it in his pocket. As soon as the pendant entered his pocket, it began to glow faintly in the dim light.

A warm sensation returned to my fingertips.

Clearly, just like when we read Xiang Yuan's diary from his high school and college years, the magatama once again played a role, establishing a connection with that world.

He already knew who was facing the person opposite the jewel.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he hasn't had a formal meeting with that person yet.

The few times they met were all through intermediaries; for example, in the Shikoku region, it was through Nanatsuki Koshimizu, and in the Kaito Kid murder case, it was through Motoyasu Tsukumo. Now that he finally has the chance to meet that person properly, he wants to have a good talk with them.

However, Conan was not satisfied with Hikaru's answer.

The Shinigami pupil's eyes narrowed slightly.

Since Xiang Yuanguang was unwilling to tell him the situation, he simply deduced the situation from his own experience.

First, we should rule out supernatural or superstitious beliefs.

He was a staunch materialist who did not believe in these unorthodox ideals. If there were any supernatural beliefs, he would have seen through them long ago.

So……

Conan stroked his chin.

He was considering the possibility of other factors, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't think of anything that could affect this aspect.

What was it that Xiang Yuanguang suddenly thought of while looking at this diary?
It's mysterious and strange.

"In that case... let's go eat first?"

Chiaki Nanami also sighed.

Standing next to Conan, they were clearly the two most dejected of the five.

She closed the diary in her hand and was about to stand on tiptoe to put it back, but her height was rather disappointing; she could only be considered tall among elementary school students.

He's barely passable among junior high school students, and like a junior high school student among high school students.

Xiang Yuanguang reached out and took the diary, put it in the box, and placed it back on top of the bookcase along with the toy, returning them to their original places.

He didn't intend to take the diary, the toy, or the box with him.

These things can be left here. I believe that if Grandpa knew, he would approve of what he is doing now.

"Oh, Young Master Xiang Yuan, you're here."

The old butler's voice rang out.

He passed by Xiang Yuan's bedroom and saw Xiang Yuan and his group all neatly arranged in the bedroom, which aroused his curiosity.

This is really strange.

In his memory, Xiang Yuanguang was a rather reclusive person.

Why are you bringing a girl, two little girls, and a little boy with you? What's going on?
The old butler suppressed the four-character phrase that had just come to mind.

The main concern was that if he spoke out, the master might suddenly appear and take him away with him.

Although he did miss his grandfather, who had passed away many years ago.

However, the old butler had no intention or plan to accompany the master so soon.

"Young Master Xiang Yuan, distinguished guests."

"I'm here to remind you that there are still fifteen minutes until dinner."

"If you have anything else to do, please do so as soon as possible."

The old butler said,
"Or you could tell us how long you want to postpone dinner."

"In that case, we will prepare dinner at the time you mentioned."

Xiang Yuanguang shook his head slightly and replied,
"No need, thank you. The original time is fine."

The old butler nodded after receiving the clear instructions.

He quickly left and went to the kitchen to help the other estate staff, ensuring that dinner was served accurately and on time.

This also ensures that the quality of the dinner dishes does not decline.

Although the chef is a professional chef, he is used to preparing family banquets and is not as sensitive to these flavors as he used to be. He has to keep a close eye on things like he does at lunchtime.

After all, Xiang Yuanguang has come back once in a while, so at least he should be allowed to have a proper dinner, right?
