People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 985 After Dinner
Because he told Yuan Guang that they would continue searching for past memories after dinner.

For a moment, everyone was at a loss as to which direction to continue their search.

Apart from Conan and Chiaki Nanami, everyone else returned to their rooms.

Xiang Yuanguang himself was no exception.

However, not long after Xiang Yuanguang returned to his room, Asai Narumi appeared at the bedroom door. He peeked inside before asking softly,

"May I come in, Mr. Xiang Yuan?"

This question is actually redundant.

Xiang Yuanguang answered directly.
"of course."

He sat in the chair, seemingly deep in thought.

Asai Narumi came up behind Mugen Hikaru and looked curiously at the table, wondering what Mugen Hikaru was looking at so intently.

However, there was only the same wooden box on the table.

This wooden box contains Xiang Yuanguang's diaries from high school to university.

Everyone has already opened and looked at it.

But why is Xiang Yuanguang still looking at this wooden box?
Instead of looking at the diary inside the wooden box? Is it because the wooden box itself holds some hidden secret?
Asai Narumi is unaware of this.

However, he felt it was unlikely.

Although Conan looks like an ordinary elementary school student in a blue suit.

In reality, Conan's reasoning ability and intelligence far surpass those of his peers, and he is in no way inferior to those famous high school detectives, and may even be better.

Conan picked up the wooden box and examined it carefully before unlocking it.

If the wooden box contained any hidden design, Conan could easily find it; it's impossible for him to discover nothing at all.

Asai Narumi stared at the wooden box along with Minamoto Mitsu.

The two of them looked a bit dazed.

After watching for a while, Asai Shigemi finally asked.

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, what exactly are you looking at?"

—What are you looking at?
He winked at Yuan Guang, then answered sincerely.
"I wasn't looking at anything, I was just spacing out."

Some people just like to close their eyes and lie in bed when they're daydreaming, without thinking about anything.

Some people are like him, just staring at something without their minds being on it at all.

Faced with this sincere answer.

Even Asai Narumi couldn't hold back for a moment.

He thought the wooden box held some secret, and spent a long time examining it with him.

From this perspective, it's as if they're treating him like a Japanese person.

Oh, he's Japanese, so it's alright.

Asai Narumi glanced down into the bedroom, not seeing a second chair, and simply sat back down on Genji's bed, asking,

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, what exactly are you thinking when you say we'll continue after dinner?"

"Do you think there's anything in the manor that could help you regain your memories? But as things stand, it seems there's nothing left."

So far, only two diaries have been found.

One book is in Xiang Yuanguang's bedroom, and the other is in the room of Xiang Yuanguang's grandfather, Xiang Yuanzhengtang.

If there were other diaries, the old butler would probably have mentioned it, right?

"Yes, brother, yes."

Xiang Yuanguang said.

Under Asai Narumi's surprised gaze, he took out the magatama he had taken out earlier from his pocket.

That magatama still emits a faint light.

This scene surprised Asai Narumi as well.

“Your magatama is lit up, Mr. Xiangyuan.”

He said in surprise, "But what do you want to tell me?"

He realized that Asai Narumi didn't seem to understand what he meant.

Xiang Yuanguang turned to face Asai Narumi and said,

"The magatama is still glowing, which means someone wants to see me."

"However, after I found two notebooks, that person still hasn't seen me, which means there must be a third item. This item may not be a notebook, but it definitely exists."

"All I have to do is find this prop."

Does the magatama light up mean someone wants to see you?

Who is that person? No, I should say, who is that ghost?

Asai Narumi had already witnessed it firsthand at the trial on Tsukikage Island.

The jade pendant emitted light, and then, the figure of his father, which was somewhat blurry in his memory, overlapped with Xiang Yuanguang at that time. Both his physique and voice were exactly the same as in his memory.

That magatama was undoubtedly a treasure that could connect to the world of the dead.

Since the magatama is glowing at this time, there must be a ghost that wants to communicate with Xiangyuan Guang. However, why is this ghost in Xiangyuan Guang's house?

Could it be that Grandpa Xiang Yuanzheng is missing his grandson whom he hasn't seen in a long time?

Asai Shigemi wondered to himself.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"Mr. Xiang Yuan, who wants to see you?"

This is a tricky question.

However, Xiang Yuanguang answered the question directly.

"It is Xiang Yuanguang who wants to see me."

Asai Narumi:?
When I type a question mark, it doesn’t mean that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

You are Xiang Yuanguang, so why do you say Xiang Yuanguang wants to see you? Is it possible for two Xiang Yuanguangs to exist in this world? This sounds absurd enough.

Although in Asai Narumi's memory, Mukamoto Hikaru never lied.

However, he still didn't believe Xiang Yuanguang's words at all, thinking that Xiang Yuanguang must have deliberately used his own name to protect the ghost's name.

Asai Narumi finally sighed and said,

"In that case, I'll go back to my room and see if I have it."

"Although there are many rooms in the villa, it will only take less than an hour to search them all. Hopefully, we can find the prop you want after dinner."

Asai Shigemi left.

Although there is no mind lock or logic chess.

However, Hikaru Mugen also knew that Asai Narumi definitely thought he was lying.

He couldn't help but sigh.

These days, everything seems difficult.

He frankly told the truth, but no one was willing to believe him, which made him lament that the world was truly going to the dogs and people's hearts were no longer what they used to be.

"basement."

Conan stood at the entrance to the stairwell leading down from the first floor and said.

Chiaki Nanami, standing next to him, hesitated, unsure of how to open the door.

She had a feeling that if she opened the door, she might die on the spot, then someone said there was a dead person, and then a group of people gathered together to play Ace Attorney.

"Shall we go back?"

"According to the usual game tropes, entering this room might trigger a dangerous event prematurely. It would be better to call Mr. Xiang Yuan over; at least he's very capable..."

Conan:?
I don't know why you would have such a thought.

However, since that's the case, let's wait for the others to come over.
