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

"Excuse me, what are those abnormal marks behind the handcuffs?"

Although Xiang Yuanguang couldn't free his hands to snap his fingers, it didn't stop him from dubbing the sound of snapping fingers with his mouth.

The corners of Mr. Hedgehog's mouth curled up subtly.

He spoke confidently and affirmatively.

"This is the magic glue used for the Death Bed of Nails. It can be used to easily fix the handcuffs to the horizontal board."

"Of course, twelve years have passed, and this magic glue, which has a weak adhesive force to begin with..."

"Now it has completely lost its adhesive ability. Please ask several officers to help me put the leather handcuffs on the four corners of the horizontal board."

"No, you don't need to open the evidence bag, just put it back and review the scene."

Several police officers from the forensic department looked at each other.

Out of respect for the tile thrower, he hurriedly followed Xiang Yuanguang's instructions.

When the upper and lower layers of the death nail bed were separated and the leather handcuffs were placed in the dead corner of the horizontal board——————

"The scene before the Bed of Nails performance is like this, as you can see."

The hedgehog-headed lawyer spoke confidently. He didn't need to say anything more, as the others knew how the magician performed the trick to get away.

The leather handcuffs made with magic glue are not sticky enough, so the magician can easily leave the axis pressure position with the handcuffs.

but……

"What does this prove? Mr. Xiang Yuan, this only proves that the magician can easily leave the horizontal board."

"But the fact is that Hiroki Yokoyama died from the Bed of Nails magic, and it should have been difficult for him to break free."

Reiko Kujo's eyes fell on the layout of the death bed of nails, then she raised her head and refuted seriously.

On the other side, Gui Yueying's eyes had lost focus and she was quickly reviewing the situation.

Before Xiang Yuanguang, who was standing next to the evidence table, could speak, the young prosecutor spoke first.

"If the deceased could have easily left the horizontal board, then it really couldn't have been a magic accident."

Guiyue Ying's words immediately made Kujo Reiko next to her turn her head and wait.

There was some doubt in the eyes of the ace prosecutor, but Xiang Yuanguang continued to speak at this time.

"That's right, because the timing of the Death Bed of Nails falling can be controlled."

The Hedgehog-head's words immediately made the presiding judge exclaim.

The old judge in the main seat asked in confusion.

"The timing of the Death Bed of Nails falling can be controlled? But why is this so?"

"The magic assistant stood at least one meter away from the rope control console, and then the black cloth covered the surroundings of the nail bed..."

"Can that black cloth really block the magic assistant's vision?"

Without waiting for the presiding judge to finish speaking, Xiang Yuanguang interrupted with great seriousness.

"The black cloth used for the performance is not actually very long, but the stage base used for the performance is very high and far away."

“So even the audience sitting at the end can’t see what’s going on behind the black cloth, but the assistants are a different story.”

"The real situation of this magic trick should be after the magic assistant makes sure that the magician has left the range of the nail bed."

"Then lower the nail bed in an instant, and then use the spikes to pierce the prepared blood bag to create the illusion of death."

The hedgehog-haired lawyer signaled to several police officers to take away the handcuffs, and then put down the raised nail bed.

He took off his white gloves and placed them on the evidence table beside him, then snapped his fingers and spoke with certainty.

"That is to say, this case could be suicide, it could be murder, but it is definitely not an accident."

"Because the magician's assistant can see the magician's movements, he controls the timing of the nail bed's fall."

So, either Hiroki Yokoyama seized the moment when the nail bed fell and rushed into the axial pressure range of the nail bed.

Either he committed suicide and died on the spot——or Hiroki Yokoyama was still trapped.

But the magic assistant drops a bed of nails at this moment, killing Yokoyama Yuki!

Thinking of this, even the presiding judge suddenly realized.

"I see... Then which of the two is the defense lawyer's argument?"

He snapped his fingers at Yuan Guang, then flipped his hand and pointed at the presiding judge in the main seat.

"A pound of pears! I won't choose any of them!"

"It wasn't Yokoyama Yuki who committed suicide, nor was it murder by the magic assistant——————"

"It was someone else who faked the murder by changing the magic props to make it look like a magic accident!"

The word bullet was launched again at this moment.

When the hedgehog-headed lawyer saw that the number of verbal bullets had not decreased, he instantly felt relieved.

That’s right, it seems that the truth of this case is not that Hiroki Yokoyama committed suicide or that the magic assistant murdered him.

Then, he can proceed to the next step of reasoning and proof!

Xiang Yuanguang slammed his hand on the steel testimony podium.

"Now, the defense invites the owner of Magic Venue A to testify!"

"He can prove that the deceased, Hiroki Yokoyama, could never have committed suicide!"

Chapter 335 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (50)

Having said this, the presiding judge's expression became serious.

"It seems that it is indeed necessary to ask one of the parties to testify."

"Then please ask the owner of magic venue A, who is in the dock, to take the stand."

The owner of magic venue A in the dock looked up.

Although more than a decade has passed since Hiroki Yokoyama's death, he has not taken the witness stand in a trial.

But now he felt no panic in his heart, only calmness and relief.

It was like the huge rock that was pressing on me was finally removed.

Tick, tick, tick.

The owner of magic venue A stood on the witness stand.

He spoke seriously and earnestly.

"I'm the owner of Taihe Magic Venue, and I'm thirty-two years old."

"The deceased was my good friend at the time. We explored the development of magic together."

"He told me that once he completes this escaping challenge, he will be able to call himself a master of magic."

"Thus, by stepping onto a bigger stage, we will be able to see higher levels of magic attainment and the future—"

The middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was a little gloomy.

"Then he died so suddenly, in an unknown magical accident."

"It's impossible for Yuuki to commit suicide. He doesn't have any troubles or worries."

"And with my passion and longing for magic, I will never let myself stop here."

The presiding judge sitting in the main seat nodded.

If everything was as the owner of magic venue A said, then it was indeed impossible for the deceased to commit suicide.

But before the chief judge opened his mouth to agree, Kujo Reiko raised a question——

Although prosecutors do not have the right to question witnesses, they can question the authenticity of their testimony.

Especially when this witness is clearly related to the deceased and may even be one of the causes of death.

"Then, may I ask what evidence the defense has to prove that this gentleman is telling the truth?"

"Let's not talk about whether he is a friend of Yokoyama Hiroki or what his relationship with Yokoyama Hiroki is."

"As the owner of the magic venue and the lender of magic props——"

Kujo Reiko's words came to an abrupt end.

I guess she also realized how ridiculous her idea was.

No other physical evidence is needed, Xiang Yuanguang just said calmly.

"If he wants to pursue the compensation that was given to the families of the deceased in the past, it is probably possible to get it back."

"May I ask, what motive did the witness have to testify to the proposition that the deceased did not commit suicide?"

No, of course not, people will not deceive their own interests.

Unless the witness is mentally ill, he would not do this.

That's why Kujo Reiko suddenly fell silent and stopped talking.

But just because Kujo Reiko doesn't speak doesn't mean that Kizuki Hotaru on the other side won't speak.

The young prosecutor tilted her head and said with some confusion.

"If we look at it from this perspective, we can rule out the possibility of suicide."

"So how do you rule out possible murder by a magic assistant?"

"I guess you must have invited your magic assistant at that time to the court, right?"

That's natural——on the premise that the intelligence has been handed over in advance.

The suppressive power that can be brought by the combination of Genmi Mukai and Kensuke Kumimon can almost be described as "maximum".

Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers, and the owner of magic venue A immediately left the testimony stand.

He did not return to the dock, but sat in the specially vacated witness stand.

Tick, tick, tick.

The door of the Grand Courtroom was pushed open, and another young man who looked a little older walked in.

He came to the witness stand, looked at the presiding judge wearily, and then spoke.

"I am Yokoyama Yuki's magic assistant, his childhood playmate and classmate, and I am now 29 years old." "Are you asking me if I murdered Yokoyama Yuki now?"

The magic assistant looked very tired, but that was not surprising.

If he is not the murderer, then he is also a victim in this case.

Not everyone can bear the burden of killing their own friend with their own hands.

Although answering this question might seem cruel, the young prosecutor still nodded.

If someone thinks that questioning witnesses would be cruel and therefore does not question them, then this person is probably not qualified to be a prosecutor.

Even Hotaru Kizuki, who looks like a junior high school student, is no exception.

"It should be you who brought it up, right? After all, you were the only one who could see this scene at the time."

The young prosecutor asked calmly and seriously.

"If you rule out the possibility that the deceased committed suicide, then the only possibility is that you are giving false testimony."

"Otherwise, what reason would the deceased have to suddenly return to the horizontal board to die when the nail bed fell?"

The magic assistant opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.

Because he had been thinking about it for more than ten years, but still couldn't figure out why.

But at this time, Xiang Yuanguang sighed and shook his head.

"I've said it before, whether the deceased committed suicide or the magic assistant murdered him, neither possibility is true."

"Because the magic assistant wasn't the only witness at the time of the crime."

There is more than just... this one witness...! ?
