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

"Then I was saved by lawyer Xiang Yuan."

"This is my entire experience in this case. Does it count as an alibi?"

[End of testimony]

Sanhao Mazi's rhetoric is still the same old one, and it is full of loopholes to Xiang Yuanguang.

Sometimes magic performances are like this, amazing and seamless at first glance.

But if it is repeated, it will seem ordinary and easily expose the truth behind it.

This is also one of the magician's rules, which is why they never perform a magic trick a second time in front of people.

The hedgehog-haired lawyer took a sip of coffee and was about to start asking questions.

But I heard the voice of the young prosecutor at the prosecutor's seat.

"Regarding the experience described by the witness, Asako Miyoshi, the prosecutor is presenting evidence information as supporting evidence."

"Please ask the presiding judge to turn to pages 37 and 38 of the evidence information."

Gui Yueying held down a large stack of evidence information next to her with one hand.

"Please ask your Honorable Judge to add the [Magic Crossbow in the Magic Chamber] and [Hemp Rope] to the court record."

The magic crossbow and hemp rope in the magic chamber...

The presiding judge looked embarrassed and took down the stack of evidence information next to him.

Then I checked the relevant information of these evidences.

[The magic crossbow in the magic chamber], like the magic crossbow that was previously modified by Kaito Kid, is an exclusive magic prop of the Miracle Magic Group. It is said that only members of the Miracle Magic Group can install and disassemble it.

This magic crossbow was scrapped because it was forcibly dismantled by Xiang Yuanguang, the defense lawyer and black magician in this case. It was replaced with a special magic crossbow arrow with a sharp front end.

[Hemp Rope], this is the prop used to tie up the witness Asako Miyoshi when she was found in the magic preparation room. There are almost no signs of wear and tear, so it is speculated that it is a newly purchased rope.

The presiding judge sitting in the main seat nodded after reading it. Although Prosecutor Guiyue looked a little young, he was very reliable.

He coughed twice, then placed the two pages of evidence records on his left hand side to distinguish them.

"This court agrees to add these two exhibits to the court record as a supplement to the witness testimony."

"Next, if Prosecutor Gui Yue has nothing else to say, then we will proceed to the [questioning phase]."

The young prosecutor nodded slightly to indicate that she had no objection.

On the other side, Xiang Yuanguang at the defense table took another sip of coffee.

Although I have obtained the testimony of the white magician Sanada Kazuzo.

But decisive testimony must be given at the decisive moment to achieve its greatest value.

Well, now it’s time to question... dig up as much testimony as possible as a target of attack.

Thinking of this, the hedgehog-headed lawyer slammed the table.

His eyes suddenly became determined.

【~Inquiry Begins~】

"The defense would like to question the first statement of the witness, Asako Miyoshi, [Before the memorial service began, I was preparing magic props in my magic room]."

"I know that as an invited magician, I can enter the Queen Serissabeth some time before the memorial service begins, but I don't think Kaito Kidd will be able to enter the secret room at that time."

"On the one hand, the surveillance cameras were still functioning normally at the time. On the other hand, I was also patrolling on the Queen Serissabeth at the time and did not see Kaito Kidd—"

Before Xiang Yuanguang finished speaking, Miyoshi Mazi at the testimony desk had already shaken his head.

"The surveillance camera is still functioning normally? Yes, but did the surveillance record capture what happened at that time?"

"Moreover, Attorney Xiang Yuan boarded the ship only after we boarded the Queen Cesarebella."

"At least when I followed the prepared layout and climbed onto the invisible platform, I didn't see it..."

"Mr. Xiang Yuan entered the lobby, so I guess Mr. Xiang Yuan's statement is not true, right?"

Since we didn't enter the lobby, can't we make any rash statements about whether Kaito Kidd is lying in ambush in the lobby?

Xiang Yuanguang narrowed his eyes slightly, from the preparation of personnel boarding the ship to the start of the memorial meeting.

There was a full twenty-five minutes in between.

Whether it's killing people, hiding bodies, or doing something else, it seems to be plenty of time.

As for the surveillance cameras...even if Kaito Kidd could fly, he would still have to go through the front door. There is no other entrance in the lobby.

Miyoshi Mako was certain that the surveillance records had been deleted by her so she had nothing to fear.

(…Is there no evidence that proves she was not in the Magic Chamber during this period?)

(At that time, I was looking at the situation of the lifeboats around me, and then went to the top floor to confirm the hang glider of Kaito Kidd...)

(Then I returned to the first floor and patrolled until five minutes before the memorial service began...)

(Was it the time between boarding the ship and my return to the first floor for inspection... or was it five minutes before the memorial service started?)

The hedgehog-haired lawyer took another sip of his coffee.

It is difficult to determine the exact time of the murder in these two time periods, and there is no way to find the specific flaws...

So, what are the specific inquiries next? Finally, put all the results of the inquiries together.

Use word bullets to perform Wind Style: Great Breakthrough?

Now it seems...there is no other good way to use it.

Gui Yueying at the prosecutor's seat pulled out a few pages from his own evidence records.

He seemed to be looking through something.

Top three

Chapter 314 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (34)

"Then the defense will question the witness's second statement: 'Then, I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, I was tied up in a secret room.'"

"May I ask if the witness was really knocked unconscious at the time? What kind of binding did he use? Was it a deadlock or a loose knot?"

The hedgehog-haired man at the defense table slapped his hands on the table again and spoke loudly.

In response to this, Miyoshi Mazi had a somewhat strange expression on his face.

"Of course he was knocked unconscious. Is there any other possibility?"

"As for what kind of binding it is... Lawyer Xiang Yuan, are you going to ask questions like, 'The person who saved me is really the black magician Xiang Yuanguang?'"

"You were the first person to contact me. Don't you know these things?"

"Uh……"

Xiang Yuanguang touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

I almost forgot about this, since he spent so much time discussing the rope with Kaito Kidd.

The hedgehog-head stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.

"I remember it was the type of binding commonly used in magician performances, and the knot on the body seemed to be a slipknot."

"According to the evidence information presented by Prosecutor Gui Yue, the hemp rope was only slightly worn."

"That means you didn't struggle. Is it because of the mechanism that linked the magic crossbow?"

The female magician was silent for a moment, then asked back.

"What else? Do you think I like an environment where I could die at any time?"

This was also the reason why Genguang and Conan initially reasoned to exclude Miyoshi Mako as a suspect.

Because this kind of self-torture tactic is really tying one's own life to the trap.

Even a first-rate magician would not dare to guarantee 100% safety in such a dangerous situation.

The other party's behavior obviously involves gambling, and so far, the other party's gambling has been very successful...

At least it is difficult for Xiang Yuanguang to find new evidence on this point.

At this time, the presiding judge noticed something.

Because Hedgehog Head rarely uses the method of asking questions one by one to obtain information.

Every time I use this method, I reach a point where I am at a loss and need a breakthrough.

(It seems that Attorney Xiang Yuan is indeed in trouble now.)

(However, as the presiding judge, I can do nothing to help. The most I can do is not to stop it.)

"... Then, the defense will ask the witness about his third statement: [Kaito Kid fixed the magic crossbow in front of me and then left.]"

"Excuse me, why did you wake up when Kaito Kidd was installing the crossbow? Isn't this too much of a coincidence? Which direction did Kaito Kidd leave in?"

Xiang Yuanguang tapped the table lightly and then asked.

It is obvious that the defense is most likely delaying time to waste the witness' energy.

As the saying goes, too much talk leads to mistakes. If a witness gives an inappropriate testimony when being questioned.

Then it will become the most advantageous weapon to stab her.

However, under normal circumstances, such behavior is not allowed and will be stopped.

But... Gui Yueying from the prosecutor's side was just looking through the information on the evidence she brought.

He didn't seem to care that the defense was currently conducting a less than appropriate questioning session.

(It seems that Prosecutor Guiyue is also inclined to believe that Miss Miyoshi is guilty since this trial.)

(Otherwise, given her style, she should have frequently interrupted and questioned from the beginning.)

Mao Lilan held her chin and looked at the trial scene below.

"Of course it was Kaito Kidd who woke me up. I don't think he intended to kill me."

"He just wants me to stay in the magic chamber."

The female magician at the testimony stand said calmly.

"Because when a person is unconscious, they will inevitably move unconsciously, which will trigger the mechanism."

"But if I had set up the trap while I was awake, I would have realized that struggling would lead to my death."

"So, Kaito Kidd would choose this slightly contradictory approach."

"As for the second question...If I'm not mistaken, Kaito Kidd should be going down."

"Of course, it is also possible that it is not, because I am tied up in a secret room and cannot see the specific situation outside." The hedgehog-headed lawyer narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although the other party gave six testimonies, only four of them were actually worth asking.

The fifth question is meaningless because this is a case that Xiang Yuanguang experienced personally and is recorded by the police.

You can’t really ask... [Are you sure that the person who entered the secret room to save you was Xiang Yuanguang]

Even if the presiding judge is more lenient with him, he will still be punished for doing this.

As for the sixth testimony, there must be problems with it, but even if we ask about it, no other results will be obtained.

So, no matter what opinions or insights you have on the results of the questioning of other testimonies.

Starting from the fourth testimony, he will open the lock of his heart and the chess of logic.

"Then the defense will conduct the fourth interrogation. The content of this interrogation will be the witness's fourth testimony [It was not until Inspector Nakamori came here to investigate that he discovered that I was still in the secret room]."

Xiang Yuanguang slammed his hands on the table of the defense bench.

He looked at Miyoshi Mako at the testimony stand and asked bluntly.

"Excuse me, Ms. Miyoshi Asako, are you really locked up in a secret room before the memorial service started and remained there until Inspector Nakamori investigated, as you said in your first three testimonies?"

"Or did you appear in the secret room when Inspector Nakamori led the investigation?"

From this moment on, a raging offensive began to build up.

Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting in the audience, was a little excited.
