I'm in Conan, but I'm in Ace Attorney

Finally, Guiyueying stood on the deck, and three possible escape directions appeared for the black silhouette.

One option is to flee towards the entrance to the underground first floor—but there is nothing in the surveillance records of the underground first floor.

Moreover, the white magician Kazuzo Sanada and the black magician Genmitsu Mukae were unaware that the surveillance cameras were installed there.

The murderer probably doesn't know either, and there's no sign of editing in the surveillance footage...

Well, the second possibility is to blend into the crowd...but does the murderer really have such disguise skills?

The young prosecutor fell into thought, the real Kaito Kid could change his clothes in one second. But the murderer might not be able to do it, so he quickly took off Kaito Kid's clothes and threw him into the water...

If the clothes were the same as those worn by guests, then this possibility does exist...

"Ghost Moon Prosecutor, what are you looking at?"

Officer Chiba was a little confused, his eyes wandering between Kizuki Hotaru and the empty left deck.

I wondered if this young prosecutor was under too much pressure and became mentally ill.

"I wonder... is it possible that the murderer took off his clothes and blended into the crowd..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Inspector Nakamori asked us to form a human wall to prevent Kaito Kid from blending into the crowd after killing someone. So the murderer definitely can't blend in."

"It's still easy to tell if there are unfamiliar faces at this time, not to mention there weren't many or few people around at the time."

Officer Chiba said as a matter of course.

"But after the murder, a guest told me that they saw a magician wearing a costume similar to Kaito Kid going upstairs. I chased him and ended up catching Xiang Yuanguang."

"Oh, yes, I heard from Inspector Megure who was maintaining order at the time that Detective Mori later yelled for people to go to the monitoring room to check the surveillance, but the staff member next to him said that he was from the monitoring room..."

After the murder occurred, the staff in the monitoring room left the room... ?

A hint of surprise appeared in Gui Yueying's eyes.

In other words, before the murder took place, Xiang Yuanguang was still heading to the top floor.

There were still staff in the monitoring room, but they disappeared after the murder took place.

Then the monitoring records were modified during this period.

"After discovering that most of the surveillance cameras had lost their functions, the staff in the monitoring room left the monitoring room to check the situation. At this time, they heard gunshots and went directly to the deck... Sanada Kazuzo came back at this moment and came to the scene of the murder performance, attracting the attention of Inspector Megure."

"The people from the First Investigation Division therefore identified Sanada Kazuzo as the primary suspect. Officer Chiba led a group of people to the top floor along the external staircase to arrest lawyer Mugen... The people from the Second Investigation Division were inexperienced in arresting violent criminals, so their efficiency was slow..."

From beginning to end, the murderer's scene was completely recreated.

The young prosecutor narrowed her eyes slightly.

The murderer was performing a murder magic trick. Inspector Nakamori's men went to the stairs behind the deck and spent some time dealing with Nanatsuki Koshimizu. After reaching the second floor, they only saw smoke but not the murderer.

In fact, the murderer threw various props directly into the left deck of the first floor in the smoke, and then jumped down, throwing the monocle and white magic suit into the water.

At this time, Officer Chiba had already led people to the top floor to look for Xiang Yuanguang. The murderer had no way to jump into the water and escape, otherwise he would be discovered by the officers from the Investigation Section led by Officer Chiba.

Then, Detective Maori discovered the surveillance camera and asked someone to check the surveillance. He found that the person in the surveillance room was on the deck. Inspector Megure immediately decided to take people to the surveillance room to check the situation, but his attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of Sanada Kazuzo.

At the same time, the murderer threw all kinds of evidence directly into the lobby, and went lightly to the monitoring room in the middle of the first floor to modify the monitoring records. The people from the second search section roughly looked through the rooms on the second floor at this time, and began to go down to the first floor from the left and right sides.

After the murderer modified the surveillance records, he returned to the lobby. Inspector Megure noticed something was wrong and personally led people to the left deck on the first floor to check the situation. The police officers from the Second Investigation Section should have also arrived at the left side of the first floor at this time, and the two sides met.

Afterwards, Officer Chiba took advantage of the absence of Inspector Megure and Detective Mori to carry away Lawyer Mukaigen and run away... He will have a hard time when his salary is evaluated at the end of this month... The real Kaito Kid comes to the deck at this moment, disguises himself, and assesses the situation.

At this time, the murderer had already reached the hidden platform and sent the magic dummy and other evidence into the secret room prepared by Jiujiu Yuankang... Then the police officers from the First and Second Investigation Sections had surrounded the first floor.

Inspector Megure and Detective Maori returned to the deck and learned about what Officer Chiba had done. After learning that Kaito Kid had killed someone on the cruise ship, the real Kaito Kid appeared as Kudo Shinichi and pointed out the discrepancies in the case...

"…The murderer had neither the time nor the opportunity to escape from the lobby. He, no, she didn't leave at all."

Gui Yueying closed her eyes, then opened them again, and her pupils had returned to their previous focus.

The replay scene had disappeared at this moment, and she murmured in confusion.

"But why would she do that? Isn't Kujuku Motoyasu her teacher?"

"Miss Sanhao, why is this?"

Yesterday's second update

Chapter 306 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (26)

—————May 23, 8:15 a.m.——————

—————Tokyo Third Courtroom, Lounge——————

"As you said, the ultimate murderer is most likely the witness in this case, Asako Miyoshi."

"The motivation and process... are all clear, but the most important thing is missing."

Xiang Yuanguang patted the thick stack of court records in his hand.

Kuroba Kaito, who was sitting next to him, was a little surprised and asked in confusion.

"What's missing?"

"Evidence, we lack the most direct physical evidence."

The hedgehog-haired lawyer has returned to his classic blue coat and lawyer's medal.

His previous appearance as a black magician was just to put pressure on Kazuzo Sanada.

Now Kazuzo Sanada is in detention awaiting sentencing.

Then there is no need for him, as a black magician, to appear in the Third Court of Judgment again.

Xiang Yuanguang emphasized the physical evidence again.

"Because the surveillance cameras were basically all broken, and the surveillance footage of her movement was edited out, there was no way to use the surveillance footage as physical evidence to incriminate her."

"The Kaito Kid costume she wore seemed to be worn over her clothes. In addition, it was soaked in water for too long, so we can't collect any evidence to prove that she wore this costume."

"There are no fingerprints on the ropes or the magic crossbow. It is very likely that she tied herself up with gloves. Add to that the threat posed by the crossbow... it is difficult to prove her absence."

"And we can't confirm that the Kaito Kid doll with a monocle and the special steel wire tied to the Kaito Kid doll are hers. The pistol has no serial number and is a modified toy simulation gun."

"I'm afraid that when Miyoshi Asako knew that the Miracle Magic Group was going to fight against Kaito Kidd, she had already started preparing. Her strong desire for revenge pushed her forward..."

The hedgehog-headed lawyer sighed and shook his head.

"The only thing we can be thankful for is that this pistol wasn't a handmade gun made by sawing off two water pipes and wrapping them with tape. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know where it came from."

I always feel like you're onto something... Can a gun made by sawing off two water pipes and wrapping them with tape really be used?

Why does it sound like some child's play?

Kuroba Kaito was secretly complaining in his heart.

And if Xiang Yuanguang knew what Kuroba Kaito was thinking, he would say it without hesitation.

That’s right, not only does this gun work, it can also make the future former prime minister open up.

But the key now is not the two water pipes, but the lack of physical evidence that is useful to Sanhao Mazi.

In response, the hedgehog sighed.

Kensuke Kumimon ran away after throwing his investigation results to him.

He said he never wanted to have anything to do with him again and didn't want to have any cross-trials.

It also explains that Miyoshi Mako had a motive to kill Kyujuku Motoyasu.

Apart from that, there is nothing, just as Conan deduced that it was Asako Miyoshi who committed the murder.

[If I talk about her, it will be too troublesome. ]

The detective's reasoning only needs to find possibilities and evidence with certain directionality.

However, the lawyer's defense must provide decisive evidence to determine the final outcome.

The evidence that the defense can produce now is vague and cannot be called conclusive.

If Gui Yueying, as a prosecutor, really believed that these evidences were not valid.

Then there is a high probability that Sanhao Mazi can be directly liberated from this court of justice——————

"Brother Xiang Yuan, there is still one flaw. Don't forget the [Priority Litigation System]."

Pushing open the door of the lounge, the Shinigami Elementary School Student walked in briskly. He spoke in a childlike voice, saying something that could not be ignored.

That’s right, the priority litigation system was also mentioned by Uncle Maori in the [TV Murder Case].

Since a murder case is prosecuted, there must be a real murderer.

If the first suspect, Kaito Kid, is found not guilty.

The prosecutor will then have to file a case downward and try the second suspect, Kazuzo Sanada.

And Kazuzo Sanada was not clean in this case to begin with, if he was sued.

There is a high possibility that he will be treated as the real murderer and the case will be closed, and he will be fast-tracked from his original lighter crime to life imprisonment.

"I guess the White Magician definitely doesn't want to waste all his time on this for no reason, right?"

"If he confesses, then the eyewitness to Miyoshi Mako's murder can be confirmed."

Conan said some chilling words in a childish voice.

Such threatening words are not appropriate for an elementary school student to say.

Kuroba Kaito always has an indescribable sense of déjà vu when it comes to Conan...it feels like he looks very similar to him when he was a child.

Of course, I'm referring to his face, not his personality. His personality was not so bad when he was a child.

Moreover, this kid pretends in front of others, but why is he so casual when pretending in front of him?

"That would solve some of the problems."

He turned to look at Kuroba Kaito next to him, waiting for his third external brain to speak.

Kuroba Kaito, who felt a little confused by being looked at, thought about it.

Suddenly, he raised a finger and said with a smile.

"How about thinking about it from the perspective of magic?"

"I used duct tape to tie up the boyish female detective next to you because the tape is too difficult to break free of with bare hands."

"But ropes are different. As long as they are not knotted and not specially reinforced, and you know the situation of the knot..."

“It is entirely possible to untie a seemingly tight rope on your own.”

"Also, if you have fixed a mechanism that is easy to trigger, it is very useful to have a reserved noose."

This is indeed a direction to think about, but I feel it will be rejected...

Forget it. If I’m rejected, I’ll just rely on my own momentum and charge forward.

Xiang Yuanguang raised his wrist and looked at the time.

It's already 8:25 and the trial will start in five minutes.

It’s almost time to put away your phone and enter the venue now…

Ding-a-ling-ling————Ding-a-ling-ling——————

The cell phone suddenly rang at this moment.

The hedgehog-headed lawyer frowned. Why is the call coming at this time?

The caller's name appeared to be Kujuku Nanae.

Xiang Yuanguang recognized this name; she was the wife of Jiujiu Yuankang.

He pressed the call button without thinking and then put the phone to his ear.

"I'm Xiang Yuanguang, Madam Ninety-Nine, is there anything I can help you with?"

"You said...your daughter, Kujuku Fumino...is missing?"
