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

Looking up at the standing water tank mouth, Xiang Yuanguang couldn't help but shook his head.

Hearing this, Gu Meimen next to him was obviously a little confused.

That being said, the atmosphere has become like this, we can’t just put the water tank down and give it away, right?

Can it still be a complete simulation of the magic scene at that time?

It's impossible to drive a crane here now, right? It can't be driven into the courtroom.

The legendary lawyer stroked his chin, suddenly had an idea, and looked at the blue Sonic beside him.

"Xiang Yuan, I have a plan that can perfectly recreate the magic scene."

...You're not going to say anything like asking me to be a human crane, are you?

------

The people in the audience looked in amazement at Xiang Yuanguang who was holding up a ladder more than three meters high.

From time to time, people marvel at the incredible nature of magicians.

But Kuroba Kaito just wanted to say that we should not use individual cases to generalize all magicians.

How can this guy, who looks like he came out of an old fighting comic, be considered a magician?

(However, human physical fitness is really amazing. How did they do this?)

In the center of the grand courtroom, Xiang Yuanguang stood up the ladder with an expressionless face.

Place your left and right feet on the top step and the second to last step respectively.

His left hand held the ladder that was almost vertical to the ground, and his other hand held the lid of the water tank.

The bailiffs on the ground were holding on to both sides in fear, fearing that the ladder would fall.

"That's about the height. I'm going to start releasing people."

The hedgehog-haired lawyer said calmly.

The next moment, the magic dummy in midair immediately descended, descending about two to three steps of the ladder every second until its body completely entered the water tank.

He stopped only when only his feet were stuck outside the shackles.

The ladder remained stable throughout the entire process, with almost no fluctuations in amplitude.

"It's almost time to lock the handles on both sides of the water tank."

Regardless of the bailiff signaling to let go, he jumped down and held the ladder steady with one hand.

Gu Meimen and Dai Machiko immediately took each side and locked the handles on both sides of the water tank cover.

At this point, the situation here is the same as during the magic show, except that there is no water inside the tank.

The legendary lawyer clapped his hands and looked at the owner of magic venue D who was standing in the dock.

He was the manager of the magic venue whom Xiang Yuanguang had contacted before.

The boss immediately stood up and spoke loudly.

"When the magic show was going on, I took a video of the magic show."

"It has been submitted to the police investigating at the time as evidence, in addition to the printed photos."

Hearing this, Kujo Reiko raised her eyebrows again.

Although I don't know what's going on, this lawyer who came from somewhere else.

He always wanted to get evidence from the prosecutor to prove that his reasoning was correct.

What is infuriating is that the prosecutor has no legitimate reason to refuse, because it was the person who submitted the evidence who requested it to be produced.

This time, before the presiding judge could speak, Prosecutor Kujo spoke.

"Don't look for it anymore. Bring all the evidence related to Keisuke Tsuruoka's case from three years ago and submit it to the court."

Hearing this, Gu Meimen nodded with satisfaction.

Very good. As a prosecutor, one must have the self-awareness to assist the defense.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if the prosecutor doesn’t have such self-awareness, because he will always find a way to produce evidence.

Tick, tick, tick.

After a while, the bailiff brought all the evidence from the case of Keisuke Tsuruoka's accidental death while performing a magic trick three years ago.

These pieces of evidence were submitted by the owner of magic venue D at the time, and Kumimon knew exactly what they were.

He only took a quick glance and matched the information on the relevant evidence with the impressions in his memory.

The posters used for promotion before the magic show, the video recordings to be kept as a souvenir after the magic show, the notes of the boss and two magic assistants, a photo...

(A photo? What?)

Kensuke Kumemon's eyes suddenly froze, and his smile was not as obvious as before.

It's strange, this thing was not among the evidences the boss mentioned.

He simply took two steps forward and picked up the photo in the evidence bag.

Unlike those photos and videos of magic venues, this photo... was obviously taken backstage.

The legendary lawyer frowned and turned the photo over, and there was nothing behind it.

"Now that the evidence has been obtained, I would like to ask Attorney Gu Meimen to explain."

"I think there is no need to waste any more time?"

Prosecutor Kujo said this bluntly.

Kensuke Kumemon took a final glance at the photo showing the scene backstage at the magic venue.

He put the photo down, picked up the video record of the time, and spoke calmly.

"Next, the defense requests that the video of the magic show be played."

"Then I will follow the steps in the video to reenact the case in real time."

Chapter 339 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (54)

A real-time reenactment of the incident... But the perspective of magic is different.

What the boss wants to release is definitely not the perspective of the magician himself or the magic assistant.

It is very likely that the shot was taken from a camera position in the audience.

Otherwise, if the secrets of magic are leaked, the magic venue will lose its original status.

Because a magic venue that leaks magicians' secrets will no longer have magicians perform there.

Xiang Yuanguang's hand unconsciously rested on his chin.

He touched it subconsciously, remembering the confident look on Gu Meimen's face when he first entered the courtroom.

It is obvious that the other party has definitely cracked the magic of [Water Tank Escape].

That is why I dare to say that while the video is played from the audience’s perspective, the situation can be reviewed.

But the problem is...how is Kumimon going to make the magic dummy move...?

Others may not know, but Xiang Yuanguang, who is also a magician, knows it very well.

The plot of the last Ace Attorney game is set in 2028.

This means that most of the magic in Conan's current world view are just antiques from the past compared to the Orshinshiki magic from the future, and the principles of these tricks have long been known.

Escaping from a water tank is dangerous because the magic assistant has no idea what is happening inside the water tank behind the black cloth, so the magician must complete the escape and movement by himself.

In other words, it is impossible for a stationary magic dummy to achieve the goal of perfect situation review.

Unless... that magic dummy can move freely.

Zizzi——————

The video recording from two years ago began to be played, using a CD as the medium.

And because it is difficult to describe how the police keep these evidences, there is some noise at the beginning.

But it obviously does not affect the viewing experience. After all, you don’t watch videos just to listen to the sound.

The filming equipment seemed to be stored behind the last row of the auditorium, with an unobstructed view of the entire venue.

The owner of magic venue D now appeared in front of the camera and introduced his magic venue.

Then he turned around and zoomed in the camera, focusing on the magic show.

The two female magic assistants of the young magician Keisuke Tsuruoka were standing on both sides of him.

His hands were handcuffed in front of his body, and he was then helped to stand upside down.

Use foot shackles to buckle the ankles of both feet, then fasten the buckles of the foot shackles and hang two large locks on them.

Afterwards, the crane lifted Keisuke Tsuruoka up in the surprised eyes of all the spectators.

Keisuke Tsuruoka was lowered facing the water tank.

When it sank into the water, it also brought up a large amount of water in the water tank and discharged it out.

At this moment, the audience at the magic scene could be heard exclaiming, just like the exclamations heard by everyone in the Great Courtroom now——————

"Is it really possible to escape with such restraints?"

The presiding judge exclaimed, and the video was immediately paused. Everyone looked at the presiding judge at the same time.

It seems to be saying, "Can you, bald guy, shut up? I'm just going to show you how to escape."

As if sensing everyone's dissatisfaction, the presiding judge closed his mouth somewhat embarrassedly.

At this moment, the video was played again, and magician Keisuke Tsuruoka was struggling in the water, and the situation did not look good.

The two magic assistants seemed to turn a blind eye at this time and pulled up the black cloth on both sides.

Not letting people see what was going on inside made people wonder if they were the ones who committed the murder this time.

In the courtroom, Gu Meimen paused the video again, and he placed four racks on the four sides of the water tank, and then covered the four sides of the water tank with a nearly transparent white cloth.

Obviously, this had no effect on blocking the view, but this was exactly what Kumimon needed.

I saw him taking out a remote control that looked like a handle from somewhere.

Then, in the astonished gaze of everyone, the magic dummy slowly moved.

(What a strange magic prop, but it feels strangely familiar.)

(Isn't it possible that he bought it from the same place as Grandpa Terai?)

Sitting alone in the dock on the other side, Kaito Kid Kuroba Kaito complained in his heart.

Of course, even if he said it directly, Kumemon wouldn't know what he was talking about.

Because this was bought by the legendary lawyer through his old partner Kaga Ranmaru.

As an old partner, Gu Meimen never asked Kaga Ranmaru how he did it.

He just wants a result, and this is exactly the trust that Kaga Ranmaru needs.

Except for the last murder case where Honichidai had no idea why, Kaga Ranmaru had never failed.

Strictly speaking, the purpose of Kaga Ranmaru's action at Honichidai was achieved.

"Come on, let's play the video content synchronously now."

The legendary lawyer said with a confident smile.

But the water tank in the video was covered by black cloth, and nothing could be seen. The only thing that could be seen was the water tank in the courtroom.

Then, bend your body and grab the reserved handles under the water cover.

He pushed away the shackles without any hindrance and stood up using the force.

Seeing this scene, not only the presiding judge, but even Kujo Reiko had a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Because those locks are real. If they are really fastened, how can they be pushed open directly?

But in fact, the big locks were put on, right in front of them.
