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

"Lawyer! Why is the way to the Grand Court so roundabout?"

"It took me a long time to find my way here from the Third Court of Inquisition..."

Looking at the flustered and busy rookie lawyer, the corner of Gu Meimen's eye twitched.

It is said that someone will naturally take care of Kujuku Bunno's affairs, and your help is not needed.

At night, I followed the police to look for someone, and when I woke up, I was dazed and took the wrong road...

"I say you better curb your empathy, which is inappropriate for a lawyer!"

"The previous case you were in charge of was also like this, and the evidence broke through the defense of your client!"

"You can lose a case that you can easily win. You can't let such a ridiculous reason as being late cause you to lose..."

Crunch——————

His eyes were particularly focused on the stack of case documents that Machiko Dai was holding.

I couldn't help but shake my head, wondering how Kumimon could be so ungentlemanly.

It is really rude to let a girl handle so much case information.

But this is the firm's own business, and the bailiff has no reason to interfere.

he shouted.

"The Chief Inquisitor is asking why you have not yet arrived at the Grand Court."

"Come in quickly, or you will be in trouble if the judge gets angry!"

Tick, tick, tick.

The sound of brisk footsteps came first, followed by slightly heavy footsteps.

Whether it's Xiang Yuanguang, Kujo Reiko, or Kigetsu Hotaru.

Everyone's eyes fell on Kensuke Kumemon and Machiko Dai who came in from the door.

It's mainly because of Machiko Dai, the new female lawyer.

He followed behind Gu Meimen, holding a large stack of case documents as if nothing had happened.

(…By the way, it seems that the only girl I met was Suzuki Sonoko.)

(Each force value is super high...)

Xiang Yuanguang's gaze became inexplicably heavy.

The old presiding judge in the main seat saw two late lawyers standing at the defense table on the other side.

Then he nodded, banged the gavel, and lowered the signal.

"Since the two defense lawyers and the two prosecutors are here."

"Then, this court will begin investigating the [Kaito Kid Murder Case] ​​and the [Magician Serial Murder Case]..."

"We are conducting a staggered trial. May I ask if the prosecutor has completed his preparations?"

The young prosecutor standing on the prosecution side said softly.

"Yes, the prosecutors are ready."

On the other side, Reiko Kujo at the prosecutor's seat also nodded slightly.

Then the presiding judge looked at the three defense lawyers.

"So, is the defense ready?"

The hedgehog-haired lawyer nodded.

"Certainly, the defense has completed its preparations to present its defense."

On the other side, Kumimon said with a smile.

"Things like that are obvious, and the defense's opinion is certainly well prepared."

In response, the old presiding judge nodded and banged the gavel.

"Then, please ask the bailiff to bring the defendants of the two cases to the courtroom and take their seats."

"Then, this court hereby declares... the staggered trial begins!"

Chapter 332 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (47)

The staggered trials began at this point.

The person standing in the dock was naturally not Jiujiu Yuankang... but the owners of the four magic venues.

They were the main persons who were brought to trial as defendants and demanded compensation in these previous cases.

On the other side is the defendant in the previous murder case of Kaito Kid——————

That is Kaito Kuroba, the Phantom Thief Kid disguised as Kudo Shinichi.

Although, now that things have come to this point, it is hard to say whether they should stand here or not.

Xiang Yuanguang clapped his hands lightly on the table.

The texture of the steel gave him an eerily calm feeling.

His eyes swept across the faces of the owners of the magic venues.

Take in all the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness, and then look towards the presiding judge in the main seat.

Finally, he shifted his gaze to the two prosecutors at the prosecutor's table.

Because at this time, one of the two prosecutors should speak first.

And in fact, it was indeed so. The young prosecutor gently patted the stack of case documents in front of her.

Most of these case materials are the information used or left over from the Kaito Kid murder case.

Only a small part of it is information from the five cases of [Magician Serial Murder Case].

The reason is very simple. The earliest case was fourteen years ago, and the latest was three years ago.

It's already good enough that the Metropolitan Police Department has been able to preserve the evidence and case information for such a long time.

If it were a local police department or prosecutor's office, they would probably have sealed the files and stored them, making it impossible to investigate.

Gui Yueying looked at the senior prosecutor on the other side and then said.

"All doubts regarding the murder case of Kaito Kid were clarified during yesterday's trial."

"Therefore, as the prosecutor of the Kaito Kid murder case, I think there is no need to reiterate the case."

"Please ask Prosecutor Kujo to briefly describe the case information of the [Magician Serial Murder Case]."

Knock knock, knock knock.

The old judge in the main seat nodded in approval and then banged the gavel.

He looked at Reiko Kujo who was sitting at the other prosecutor's table and spoke seriously.

"Then please allow Prosecutor Kujo to begin your account of the case."

blah blah.

Reiko Kujo stood her folder upright and straightened it on the wooden table.

Then she opened the folder containing the case information.

"The prosecutor will provide a brief explanation of the victims and magic information in five magic cases."

"The prosecutors will not describe the murder process in the case because [serial murder] is the claim made by the defense. The prosecutors only agreed to handle it together and conduct a retrial and investigation."

The ace prosecutor looked down at the first page of the case file.

The first recorded case is the earliest recorded case.

The accidental death of magician Hiroki Yokoyama happened twelve years ago.

"First, twelve years ago, there was a magician named Yuki Yokoyama who had studied magic for six years and was only seventeen years old."

"Died accidentally while performing the Bed of Nails performance at Taihe Magic Venue (i.e. Magic Venue A)."

"The cause of death was the magician Hiroki Yokoyama, who had already escaped from the iron plate at the end of the Death Bed of Nails performance..."

"For unknown reasons, he returned to the iron plate and was eventually pierced by the nail bed that was lowered, and he lost vital signs on the spot."

"After resuscitation, he was confirmed dead."

Then, Kujo Reiko turned the case file in her hand to the second page.

"Then, eight years ago, the magician Takezawa Teruo, who had studied magic for seven years and was only nineteen years old,

"Died accidentally while performing the coffin escape at Yangkou Magic Venue (i.e. Magic Venue B)."

"The cause of death was failure to escape from the coffin when the coffin was covered by yellow soil inside the transparent wall..."

"When the coffin was opened again, he had no vital signs and was confirmed dead after rescue efforts."

Wow.

"Next is the magician Itagaki Chaoyi who died five years ago. He studied magic for five years and was eighteen years old."

"Died accidentally while performing an Exploding Box Escape at Youming Magic Venue (i.e. Magic Venue C)."

"The cause of death was that the magician failed to escape into the prepared hidden passage when the explosive box exploded."

"The deceased was ultimately affected by the shockwaves of the explosion, and suffered secondary injuries from the splashing objects that followed the explosion."

"When he was found, he had lost vital signs and was confirmed dead after rescue."

Wow.

"Then there is the magician Keisuke Tsuruoka who died three years ago. He studied magic for six years and was seventeen years old when he died."

"He died in an accident while performing magic at the Ancient Temple Zen Magic Venue (the magic venue he went to at the beginning)."

"The water tank was covered with a black cloth at the time, and the two magic assistants did not notice the accident in the water tank."

"When the magic show was over, we discovered that the deceased had not left the water tank, so we opened it."

"It was later confirmed that the deceased had drowned and emergency rescue was carried out on the scene, but he still had no vital signs."

"He was later sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but was confirmed dead after failed rescue efforts."

Reiko Kujo flipped through the case files in the folders in her hands.

Then, she turned to the last page, which was the last case to be incorporated into the "Magician Serial Murder Case".

Fourteen years ago, the magician Kinoshita Yoshiro of the Miracle Magic Troupe died unexpectedly at the Miracle Magic Show venue.

"…Finally, it was the mage accident that happened fourteen years ago, which led to the death of Kinoshita Yoshiro."

The ace prosecutor's emotions finally showed some fluctuations.

Her tone of voice changed slightly before she spoke.

"Kichiro Kinoshita, a member of the Miracle Magic Group who has studied magic for three years and is known as a genius among geniuses."

"Death due to a failed water tank escape trick at the Miracle Magic Company's Miracle Magic Arena."

"The cause of death was an anomaly in the handcuffs, suspected to be a confusion between the performance handcuffs and the display handcuffs."

"After Kinoshita Yoshiro entered the tank, they interacted for a while while the tank was closed."

"When he tried to free himself from the handcuffs after the interaction, he discovered that the handcuffs had an accident and he ultimately failed to escape and drowned."

"When the tank was opened and Kinoshita Yoshiro was taken out of the tank, he had already lost vital signs."

"After rescue efforts were carried out at the scene, they were unsuccessful and the man was confirmed dead after being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment."

pat.

Reiko Kujo closed the folder in her hand.

She looked at the three lawyers standing at the two defense tables.

Then, she returned to her previous calm tone and spoke seriously.

"This is the relevant case about the [Magician Serial Murder Case]."
