People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 993 Akiyama Shun

—————June 19th, 1:25 PM—————

—————Tokyo Region, Tokyo Regional Public Security Headquarters——————

“…What is this?”

Amuro Tooru looked at the black diary and then looked up at the spiky-haired lawyer in front of him.

He just finished working overtime, and now they're putting him on such a high-intensity schedule?

Although he said his lover is this country, he can't work 996 every day, can he?
"Something very important."

“Mr. Amuro, please take me to see Inspector Satoshi. I want to give him this in person.”

Xiang Yuanguang said affirmatively.

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru fell silent for a moment.

What is so important that it needs to be personally handed over to Investigator Minamoto by him?

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely have refused.

The Inspector is the highest-ranking officer in Tokyo for the Japanese Public Security Bureau, a special intelligence system.

How could it be that someone can just say they want to see me and then I do?

However, Xiang Yuanguang is somewhat special.

It's not that Xiang Yuanguang is special because he is the grandson of the last Minister of Justice of the former Ministry of Justice.

Amuro Tooru even arrested former prime ministers in the same way.

Regardless of whether Xiang Yuanguang is the grandson or son of the last minister of the former Ministry of Justice.

Even if Xiang Yuanguang is the son of the current Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, he will still not give him face.

However, what makes Xiang Yuanguang special is his unusual relationship with the investigator.

The investigator made a point of emphasis during the previous diplomat murder case.

Xiang Yuanguang is the assistant to the detective.

What is a helper?

Each member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau has their own assistant, and the two are on equal footing. This makes it easier for the Japanese Public Security Bureau to do things that are inconvenient for them to do, or to obtain information that they cannot obtain on their own.

The assistant to the detective, although he does not hold a position within the Japanese public security system.

However, if we really consider status, he is actually much higher than him. After all, in this respect, Xiang Yuanguang can be considered a special unit on par with the Li Investigator.

Xiang Yuanguang now requests to see the local investigator.

Amuro Tooru had to reconsider the rationale behind his request.

In the end, he chose to give up thinking.

Let Investigator Riku decide this choice himself. After all, he's already found his way to the meeting room at the local headquarters, so asking Investigator Riku is just a matter of a few steps.

Amuro Tooru stood up, sighed, and said,
"I'll go ask the investigator for his opinion before I get back."

"Please stay in this room and do not leave. There is a lot of information in the local headquarters that ordinary citizens have no right to know. If any confidential information is leaked, it will be very difficult for us to handle."

They couldn't possibly attack Xiang Yuanguang, could they?

That wasn't just targeting Xiang Yuanguang; it was practically slapping the face of the investigators.

Xiang Yuanguang nodded in understanding.

He watched Amuro Tooru leave through the door, then his gaze fell on Kazami Yuya, and he asked,
"Mr. Kazami, what's the latest situation with the Tojo Clan?"

Upon hearing this, Kazami Yuya rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

He and Amuro Tooru have been bickering over the past issues and working overtime. Now that Minamoto Kou has brought it up again, how can he not have a headache because of it?
However, Kazami Yuya still answered,

"It's almost done."

"It's not just the prisons in Okinawa that you mentioned in court, but also many other public and private facilities that bear traces of the former prime minister's money laundering activities."

"The current prime minister and former prime minister Ooka have joined forces to deal with the former prime minister in this regard."

"Many of the funds have now been recovered, and those that couldn't be recovered are being compensated and confirmed through other methods. As for the East City Association..."

Kazami Yuya hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Kiryu Kazuma, who acted alongside Attorney Xiangyuan earlier."

"He is now the fifth president of the Tojo Clan, but it is said that Kazuma Kiryu plans to hand over power to someone else and then retire from the business, no longer interfering in this matter."

Is Kiryu Kazuma really planning to retire while he's ahead and run away?

Xiang Yuanguang was somewhat surprised.

However, this was similar to the image of Kiryu Kazuma that he remembered.

This guy is just a nice guy who accidentally got involved in the underworld.

He doesn't care much about fame or fortune, but values ​​brotherhood more. He has no interest in managing the Tojo Clan, and also needs to take care of Sawamura Haruka and her mother.

It's quite normal for Kazuma Kiryu to retire from public life.

However, just when Xiang Yuanguang was about to stop asking about the Dongcheng Association,

Kazami Yuya suddenly brought up another interesting matter.

"Attorney Xiang Yuan, do you remember me?"

"When Jingu Kyohei fled, he took a lot of yen with him. Then the plane lost control in mid-air, and the bombs exploded on the plane, causing hundreds of millions of yen to fall from the sky."

"Many people picked up the yen that fell from the sky, and there were even robberies because of it."

"And the most eye-catching one inside is a man named Akiyama Shun."

...Akiyama Shun?

Xiang Yuanguang raised an eyebrow.

Who is this person?

He had no recollection of Akiyama Shun.

However, the next moment, another phantom appeared beside Xiang Yuanguang, looking exactly like him but with a completely different expression—the real Xiang Yuanguang had appeared.

Xiang Yuan said in surprise,
"Is that Akiyama Shun?"

"He was a senior two years ahead of me, a resident of Kamurocho. I had some interaction with him during my university years, but because he was too stubborn, I didn't get to know him well."

If I remember correctly...

Xiang Yuanguang remembers that he was a graduate of the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo.

So, is Akiyama Shun also a law school student?

Stubborn to the end? It's quite rare for Xiang Yuan to use such a strong word to refer to a senior he knows.

After all, in Xiang Yuanguang's memory, Xiang Yuan had never insulted anyone, not even uttered a curse word.

“At the time, Akiyama Shun was penniless and almost desperate.”

"However, he later managed to steal one million yen from the fallen money and used it to establish a rather peculiar lending company, which became a popular topic of conversation in Kamurocho."

"That lending company doesn't charge interest, doesn't force repayment, and doesn't make any money at all."

Kazami Yuya also seemed quite curious about this.

"However, Akiyama Shun used such a company to revive itself in a very short time. In just a few days, he attracted a large amount of investment and used cash flow to stimulate the market."

"Now, people in Kamurocho call Akiyama Shun's company 'Kamurocho's Haven'."

"He is very grateful to Attorney Xiang Yuan. Would Attorney Xiang Yuan like to meet with him?"

—That really is an extraordinary person.

Xiang Yuanguang smiled and shook his head.
"Forget it, I don't plan to go to Kamurocho again..."

The door to the room was pushed open.

Rei Furuya appeared.

"The investigator requests that you come to his office to discuss this in person."

He said.
