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

Gu Meimen was just about to throw out the question he wanted to ask.

But he was beaten to it by Reiko Kujo who was standing at the prosecutor's seat.

She, who is known as the Madonna and ace prosecutor in the prosecutor world, asked directly.

"Excuse me, why don't you work as magic assistants or magicians anymore?"

"What happened on the stage three years ago after you unveiled the black cloth?"

Hearing this question, Dai Machiko, who was standing next to Gu Meimen, couldn't help but speak.

"Of course, this is because Mr. Hegang's death left a shadow on them."

The new lawyer who had just left the academy explained to the two magic girls.

"When a partner dies in front of you, even a prosecutor can't remain indifferent, right?"

...What are you talking about? How can a prosecutor have a partner?

Prosecutor Kujo shook her head and said bluntly.

"Lawyer Dai, please be aware of your identity and the time you should speak."

"The prosecution is now confirming the identities of the witnesses introduced by the defense."

"If you are not any of them, you have no right to speak for them."

The ace prosecutor tapped the tabletop with his fingers.

From the previous video, she noticed that these two magic girls did more than just hand out handcuffs and locks.

There was no magical action at all.

Plus they changed their jobs and claimed to have psychological trauma...

Kujo Reiko directly raised her question.

"Excuse me, my two witnesses, did you give up your career as a magic assistant because you——"

"You don't know anything about magic?"

After these words were spoken, Dai Machiko was stunned.

But I saw that they looked embarrassed, hesitant, and looked like they didn't know where to start.

Suddenly, the new lawyer slammed the table in surprise.

"Ms. Yami, Ms. Mana, didn't you say that you gave up because of the psychological trauma you had?"

"Is it true that you left this industry because you don't have any knowledge of magic?"

I heard the wooden defense bench creaking nearby.

Xiang Yuanguang raised his eyebrows subconsciously and shifted his eyes slightly.

Well, that's really my style. If this goes on, Dai Machiko will probably be in arrears of salary for a few more months.

"Are you stupid? Even a rookie lawyer should know when to stop, right?"

"In a courtroom, you can only trust the defendant and the presiding judge. Be suspicious of everyone else."

"Put away your sympathy for a moment. This is obvious."

Gu Meimen bluntly remarked to the new lawyer she was supervising.

He turned around and spoke directly without caring what the two magic girls thought.

"You two, since the prosecutor has figured out the reason, there's no need for you to hide it anymore, right?"

"Anyway, you, as magic assistants, caused the magician to die in a magic accident caused by problems with the magic props."

"You wouldn't have achieved much in the magic assistant industry anyway, right?"

"Then you might as well tell us everything, so that we can eliminate your suspicion of crime."

The legendary lawyer had just finished speaking when he wanted to turn around and continue saying something.

But I heard Kujo Reiko's speech that was totally disrespectful. "Lawyer Kumimon is moving back and forth between the testimony table and the evidence table, affecting the order and image of the courtroom."

"If you continue to be so lazy, I will ask the chief judge to punish you."

Gu Meimen's expression suddenly froze.

He glanced at Kujo Reiko at the prosecutor's table with a reproachful look, but the ace prosecutor was completely unmoved.

He could only sigh and return to the defense seat.

It would be better if the opponent was not Kujo Reiko but Prosecutor Sugiura.

I heard the prosecutor and the lawyer speak successively, and there was also the issue of suspected crimes.

That’s right, as magicians hired by the owner of magic venue D, they certainly can’t perform magic.

It is just a [mascot] used to attract viewers' attention and to canvass votes.

Keisuke Tsuruoka also knew this, so he was very tolerant towards these two older sisters.

Although they are not allowed to touch the magic props used in the performance backstage.

But during the performance, they will still be given some tasks that do not require magic skills.

This can not only maintain their image as magic girls, but also prevent their bosses from eliminating them because they think they are useless.

"…But I didn't expect that brother Hegang would die inexplicably like that."

"When he first removed the black cloth, he gave me a signal that everything was normal..."

The slightly older magician said with some sadness.

The other magic girl also nodded, also looking a little sad.

Not every job is like being Keisuke Tsuruoka's magic assistant.

It's easy and comfortable, the salary is high and the person in charge has a good attitude.

"After the black cloth was removed for the second time, we found that brother Hegang was motionless in the water tank."

"Because we know those big locks are just decorations, we just want to pull the two sides of the shackles apart."

"But for some reason, the shackles were stuck there and couldn't be opened at all."

The magic girls said with some sadness.

However, upon hearing this, Prosecutor Kujo frowned.

If it cannot be opened, then according to normal thinking, you should just smash the box to save the person.

And the owner of this magic venue definitely did not stop it, otherwise he would not be in the dock now.

Kujo Reiko asked again calmly.

"But the water tank was intact. You didn't break it to save people."

One of the magic girls nodded and she said.

"We were so anxious that we just wanted to remove the shackles to save the man, but the boss went to get a hammer."

"But when he came back with the hammer, the shackles were somehow pulled away by us."

"The police also came at the time. After hearing what happened, they immediately asked someone to drive a car and take the person to the hospital for emergency treatment."

"…We stayed at the venue to be questioned, and we only heard that Hegang's brother was not successfully rescued."

They didn't say anything more here, and there was no need to say anything more.

It was simply that after Keisuke Tsuruoka's death, the true colors of these two magicians who couldn't perform magic were revealed.

Because of this magic accident, he not only lost this job, but also couldn't find another one.

In the end, they had no choice but to go their separate ways and find jobs based on the knowledge they had learned.

"Well, it still sounds like a normal magic accident with malfunctioning magic props."

"Something got stuck and the magician couldn't get out, so he drowned..."

The presiding judge thought about it and finally gave this conclusion.

"Then, during the rescue, the two magic assistants clapped their hands together and accidentally freed the stuck part."

"It's like my TV has no signal at home, but I tap it and it gets signal again!"

...This Tama is completely different, okay?

Xiang Yuanguang couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Your Excellency the Presiding Judge, you are really normal at one moment and abnormal at another moment!

Chapter 342 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (57)

"No, no, no, Your Excellency the Judge, your idea does have merit."

"It is only because you do not know all the evidence information in this case that a miscarriage of justice occurred."

Kumemon was very polite when speaking to the presiding judge, even using honorifics.

But this is also his usual tactic, praising the presiding judge and belittling the prosecutor.

In this way, if the two sides are arguing fiercely, the presiding judge will subconsciously lean towards his side.

The legendary lawyer signaled to the people next to him to separate the shackles, but encountered the same situation as in the original performance.

The foot shackles were fixed tightly together and could not be opened at all.

This scene immediately shocked everyone, because it showed that the magic accident three years ago could be replicated.

But a magic accident that happened by chance can be replicated three years later using the same magic props...

That basically rules out the possibility of a simple magic accident.

"Did you notice? The foot stocks are still the same as they were three years ago and cannot be separated by brute force."

"This is because something is stuck between the two pieces of the shackles."

Gu Meimen's words were calm, but somewhat unbelievable.

Because it is obvious that the foot collateral only has the lock between the upper and lower pieces to fix it.

The lock has been proven to be just a decoration in the performance just now.

Then there should be no place where anything can get stuck in this pair of shackles.

"This pair of shackles can be fixed at the beginning, allowing Sonic to grab the middle and put it down without the two sides falling off."

"It's all because there was a bolt on it, and Dai and I pulled it out when we locked both sides."

"That's why the shackles can be easily pushed from below."

The legendary lawyer glanced at the two magicians at the witness stand.

“And this action seems to be very fast, but in fact it is very fast for the two magic ladies.”

"Use black cloth to cover it. If you are a little slower, you can pull out the plug. If that doesn't work, you can split up and act."

“One person can be in the front to attract the audience’s attention, and the other person can go around to the back to pull the bolt.”

"When the black cloth was first lifted, the deceased was still able to struggle and was not drowned."

"That means he was successfully ventilated, which means the plug was indeed pulled out."

"The two magic girls did not make any mistakes in their movements. They stayed outside the black cloth the entire time and did not enter."

"So it's impossible to enter the black cloth again and plug it in—"

"Therefore, the possibility of murder by the magic assistant other than a magic accident can also be ruled out."

Kumimon explained as he walked to the front of the water tank.

He shook his head before looking at the two bailiffs standing on a bench that served as a stage bar.

"And the trick is that someone tampered with the shackles and left a layer on top."

"When the deceased escaped from the water tank for the first time and entered the water tank for the second time, his speed was very fast."

"It triggered the small mechanism in the interlayer of the shackle, causing the obstruction to pop out and jam the shackle."
