People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 990 Xiang Yuan's Entrustment

"You can take a look at the contents of this diary."

"This contains my experiences after the trial of the Moonshadow Island case concluded. Of course, my record is not complete; I only wrote down some of the more important things."

"For example, the groups that sell addictive drugs or the smuggling channels that I investigated."

Xiang Yuan's voice was calm.

However, just by hearing Xiang Yuan's words, Xiang Yuan could tell just how significant this black diary truly was.

The results of a painstaking investigation by the descendants of the last minister of the former Ministry of Justice.

If it can be handed over to the right person, it would be a huge and heavy blow to the entire country's underground heroin smuggling and trafficking network.

"I went back to Tokyo to contact my partner."

"No, you can't really call them partners, you can only call them teammates—"

"I contacted the undercover investigator of the Japanese Public Security Bureau to tell him the results of my investigation over the past few years, so that he could mobilize the Japanese Public Security Bureau to handle the matter."

"However, what I didn't expect was that I encountered an accident before I could send out the intelligence."

Xiang Yuan mentioned this.

Immediately, Xiang Yuanguang couldn't help but recall the situation when he had just transmigrated.

There wasn't much usable food inside the Xiangyuan Omnipotent Agency, which made it clear that the owner of the house had no intention of living there. Now it seemed that his initial judgment was indeed correct.

That's right, Xiang Yuan really doesn't plan to stay at Xiang Yuan Omnipotent Agency for long.

However, due to an accident, Xiang Yuanguang took over the body's resurrection. Because he lost his memories of this, he became a permanent employee at Xiang Yuan's Omnipotent Agency.

"If you don't appear in the public eye after that."

“The friends I contacted would assume that something had happened to me, and then send someone to retrieve the diary that I kept at my old home, and hand over all the contents of the diary to the Japanese Public Security Bureau’s undercover investigators.”

Xiang Yuan continued.

This explains why Xiang Yuan sent the diary back to his hometown and had others seal up the storage room.

This diary is being used as a backup measure for Xiangyuan Insurance.

He naturally wanted to ensure that the diary was kept in a place he trusted and was absolutely safe, and that the person he entrusted with it could access it.

Xiang Yuan's hometown is naturally a region that perfectly meets the criteria.

"The heroin trade has a fairly large network in this country."

“Even I have been in danger more than once when faced with such a trading network. Therefore, in my opinion, even if I personally hand over the information to the investigator and assist in the investigation, I will still do so.”

"In the end, it will probably be slow and ineffective."

“It would be different if it were you.”

Xiang Yuan's gaze fell on Xiang Yuanguang.

His eyes held a hint of admiration.

Although they share the same body, Xiang Yuanguang's physical abilities seem to be much stronger than his, and he also possesses various incredible special abilities and items.

This combat power alone is enough to ensure that Xiang Yuanguang can escape unscathed from all kinds of dangerous places.

Furthermore, there's the recent handling of matters related to the Kamurocho Tojo Clan.

Xiang Yuanguang subtly identifies the former Japanese prime minister behind the Tojo Clan as his adversary, and he is able to leverage this power to achieve a major victory with limited resources, ultimately uncovering the truth behind the case.

This is something he himself would absolutely never do.

Xiang Yuan believes that if he were to accept this commission...

He might be able to ensure Ai Haibara's safe return and prove that Toujou was unrelated to Makoto Kusakabe's attack, but it's unlikely he can uncover the whole truth behind it.

Unfortunately, his combat strength and execution ability do not support him in making such a move. Xiang Yuanguang is now superior to him in terms of combat strength, reasoning ability, influence, and status in the legal world, and the latter two are far superior to him.

If Xiang Yuanguang were to personally take action, he would likely achieve even better results than Xiang Yuanguang.

"I would like to ask you to submit that diary on my behalf."

"With the information recorded in the diary, dealing with the remaining heroin trafficking forces in this country should not be difficult. However, after submitting it, those who have suffered losses will definitely turn their attention to you."

"In other words, you may be facing more prosecutors like Guiyue Liuyun in the future."

"They will most likely try various methods to discourage you, or simply use underhanded means to disqualify you from practicing law, or damage your reputation..."

"This is quite dangerous."

Xiang Yuan's voice grew increasingly serious.

“If you don’t want to do it, I won’t force you.”

"After all, you and I have taken completely different paths and have completely different lives..."

"Is it enough to hand it over to Inspector Li?"

Xiang Yuanguang raised an eyebrow.

He recalled that when the investigators first came into contact with the Public Security Bureau, they gave him the green light more than once, and even sent Japanese Public Security officers to assist him in the investigation.

Unexpectedly, it was because of the original owner's identity.

Even if it were just for that reason alone, he would definitely help, not to mention...

“Even if it’s just to prevent more people from repeating Asai’s mistakes, I would do it. Therefore, this is not a request for me.”

"It's something I was going to do anyway."

He snapped his fingers at Yuan Guang.

He said it affirmatively, which was considered an agreement.

Hearing this, Xiang Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Since that's the case, he's relieved. At least he's done what he needed to do, and he's fulfilled his promise to Asai Narumi. There's nothing else he needs to deal with in the present world.

He has nothing left to worry about in this world.

Seeing Xiang Yuan like this.

Xiang Yuanguang raised an eyebrow and asked,

"Based on my consistent experience, once the obsession of the soul is fulfilled, it will ascend."

"That's how Mr. Aso was back then. And what about you? Have you fulfilled your obsession now? Will you stay in this city? Or are you about to be reborn in the Sanzu River?"

These words left Xiang Yuan somewhat speechless, both amused and exasperated.

Xiang Yuan shook his head slightly and simply replied,

"I've done what I needed to do, so I'll leave naturally."

"...I will pay more attention to the situation in the world from now on. If you need any help, you can ask me to come out and help. Of course, I may not be able to help."

"Well then... now it's time for you to go back."

The things around Xiang Yuanguang began to appear unreal.

Just like the situation he encountered in court when he faced Tsukumo Motoyasu.

He nodded slightly and said...

"I see."
