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

"Therefore, when the deceased tried to escape from the water tank for the second time, the obstacle got stuck in the shackles and he ultimately failed to escape."

After the legendary lawyer expressed his guess, he continued speaking.

"It's easy to verify this. When the two magic girls tried to open the shackles..."

"It's definitely not just the action of [pulling], but pushing in, then pulling out, and repeating this action."

"This action triggered the mechanism inside the shackle for the second time, eventually causing the barrier to retract."

"That's why the two magic girls were able to [inexplicably] open the shackles again."

"Mr. Bailiff, repeat the movements I described a few times and see if you can replicate this."

The two bailiffs were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and then looked at the presiding judge in the main seat.

Seeing that the bald old man nodded, he did as Gu Meimen said.

They found the right opportunity, pushed and pulled at the same time, and pulled the shackles apart in just two or three moves. The magic dummy that was originally fixed by the shackles was no longer fixed and fell directly into the water tank.

"Ah, dummy..."

"The dummy is not important. What is important is the shackle."

The legendary lawyer interrupted the bailiff and reached out to take the leg stocks.

Then, he was almost caught off guard by the weight of the foot shackles, but Dai, who saw that something was wrong, came to help.

Otherwise, Kumimon would make a fool of himself in this huge court of justice.

In order to ease the embarrassment, he patted the foot shackles held by Dai Machiko, coughed twice, and then spoke.

"Ahem, anyway, this is the situation. The two magic girls don't understand magic at all."

"So they couldn't have set up such a magic mechanism, and couldn't have killed the dead in this way."

"As for whether the deceased could set up a mechanism to kill himself before the performance to change the show effect..."

Lawyer Gu Meimen paused for a moment before speaking affirmatively.

"Dai, let's take a look at the evidence inside the thick layer between the upper and lower pieces of the leg stocks."

Reiko Kujo, who was about to mention the possibility of suicide, immediately shut up.

Even though she was displeased with Kumeto, she wouldn't go so far as to say that it was suicide when the premise was so obvious that it was murder.

Even the prosecutors cannot act so arrogantly, at least they should give some rationality...

The thickness of the wood between the two shackles was directly displayed on the big screen.

However, there seemed to be nothing on it.

The presiding judge looked at it for a long time, then looked at Gu Meimen in confusion.

"Uh, it seems that I didn't see anything, Attorney Gu Meimen, are you sure that's the case?"

The legendary lawyer's eyebrows twitched inadvertently.

Gently rub your finger between the two pieces of the shackle.

Sure enough, there is a very subtle small depression at the corresponding position on both sides.

If you just look at the appearance, you can't tell that this thing has been modified.

(Humph, since the force from the bottom up can drive the mechanism to open.)

(With my adult strength, I only need to swing it hard——————)

I saw Gu Meimen grab the other side of a leg collateral and then swing it downwards.

There is a tendency to smash the evidence directly to the ground and destroy it——————

However, when he quickly turned the shackle over to see the thickness, he saw nothing.

"... Dai, come here for a moment. Now it's your turn to contribute to the firm."

Gu Meimen's brows twitched again, and he tried hard to suppress the embarrassment in his heart.

He turned to look at the confused new lawyer on the other side, and Dai Machiko pointed at herself blankly.

Then he took three or two brisk steps over and looked at the shackle in Gu Meimen's hand.

"Eh, do you want me to do it? Didn't we agree that you, the lawyer, would do it..."

"Don't be so long-winded. I'm handing it over to you now, which means I trust you more. Don't let me down!"

He took the leg shackle from the inexplicably serious Kumimon.

Dai Machiko exerted force in her hands and swung it down suddenly from top to bottom.

Under the magnification of the projector, everyone saw a small iron rod popping out from the middle of the shackles.

It was obvious that the shackles on the deceased Keisuke Tsuruoka were just as Kumimon had said.

The magic props were modified in advance by a third party, which led to Keisuke Tsuruoka's performance error and death.

"So far, the possibility of suicide, murder by a magic assistant, and simple accidental death can all be ruled out."

"Does Prosecutor Kujo have anything else to say?"

Kumimon looked at Kujo Reiko who was standing at the prosecutor's seat.

Chapter 343 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (58)

...These three possibilities can indeed be ruled out.

Previously, the possibility of suicide in Hiroki Yokoyama's death could be ruled out from the moment the mechanism of the death bed of nails was discovered.

It’s just that Xiang Yuanguang is accustomed to refuting each point one by one when reasoning and then presenting the final evidence.

However, this can only mean that the deceased was murdered by a third party.

"I want to ask, Attorney Gu Meimen, do you have evidence to prove that it was Kujuku Genkang who did it?"

"If not, this can only mean that there is something else going on in the death of Keisuke Tsuruoka three years ago."

"But it cannot be directly proved that it was Kujuku Motoyasu who murdered Tsuruoka Keisuke."

Kujo Reiko's words were very calm, but they were irrefutable.

That’s right, the evidence on Gu Meimen’s side also cannot prove that the deceased was murdered by a specific person.

Hearing this, the legendary lawyer narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was about to directly rebuke Kujo Reiko.

The key to this case also lies in the witness of the last magic accident case that was merged into one case————

That is Kinoshita Sakura, the younger sister of Kinoshita Yoshiro fourteen years ago, now named Miyoshi Asako.

That guy became a disciple of Jiujiu Yuankang, and if they work together, they will definitely be able to provide useful new evidence.

Before that, although he still had evidence to produce, now was obviously not the right time.

But at this moment, Xiang Yuanguang slapped the table with both hands and stood up.

"Since Attorney Kumimon has proven that Keisuke Tsuruoka has a hidden agenda, let me continue."

"The death of Takezawa Teruo eight years ago does not require any additional explanation, just take a look at the magic props."

"It can be directly concluded that Takezawa Teruo's death was definitely not an accident."

Can you draw a conclusion just by looking at the magic props?

Is the case of Teruo Takezawa really that simple?

The young prosecutor was startled out of her own review.

She looked at Xiang Yuanguang standing in the defense seat with some surprise.

When the presiding judge heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.

"Lawyer Kumimon, if you have evidence that proves that Kujuku Motoyasu committed the crime, please present it now."

"If you can't bring it up, then let's put it aside for now and wait until Attorney Xiang Yuan has finished presenting the evidence."

After the bald old man made the decision, Gu Meimen was speechless.

After all, the person you can't offend the most in a courtroom is the presiding judge.

The prosecutor can only say that he has the right to speak, but the presiding judge has the right to decide.

The final decision on any case is made by the presiding judge sitting in the main seat.

The owner of magic venue D and the two magic girls also left the testimony desk and took the witness stand.

Of the four magic venue owners in the dock, only half are now gone.

The next person to take the stand was the owner of magic venue B.

That is the owner of the abandoned magic venue.

He no longer cared about magic, magic venues, or magic accidents.

If it weren't for the evidence from the Tokyo Supreme Court, the boss wouldn't even know that the case had been reopened.

"Then please tell us your previous identity, your current identity, and your relationship to this case."

The presiding judge banged the gavel and asked.

"I am the owner of Magic Venue B. I used to be, but now... that magic venue has been abandoned."

"If you want to count it, then it does count. Now I run a hotel in town."

The owner of magic venue B looks ordinary and there is nothing special about him.

Among the four magic venue owners who were summoned, he was the one who cared the least.

Since he doesn't even work in magic anymore, how can any negative news affect him?

Hearing this, the presiding judge nodded thoughtfully and asked.

"Just now, Prosecutor Kujo said that the magic trick performed by the deceased was [Coffin Escape]. Is that true?"

Isn't this obviously nonsense? How could the prosecutor lie to you?

The owner of Magic Venue B and Prosecutor Kujo looked up at the bald old man at the same time. They seemed to be a little bit unbelievable about the reaction of the chief judge.

But in the end, the owner of magic venue B nodded and said something difficult to say.

"Yes, [Coffin Escape] uses a real coffin with nails nailed in the four corners."

"Then use a crane to pour soil from below, burying the coffin in the glass wall in one go."

"The glass walls on all four sides are made of good materials. They won't crack under the pressure of soil and are difficult to break."

If the quality of your glass wasn't so good, the rescuers wouldn't have to use a shovel to dig it out.

Xiang Yuanguang on the defense bench complained in his heart.

Hearing this, the young prosecutor flipped through the documents in her hand.

If she were to come in person, she would at least check all the magic props backstage at the magic venue.

(These materials are so thin, there is no sense of security at all!)

Kizuki Hotaru took out the case materials related to the case of magician Teruo Takezawa separately.

She glanced at it and then spoke.

"We have roughly understood the situation. The magic assistant should be waiting in the lounge at that time."

"If you remember the details of the magic show, please describe it."

"If you don't remember, can you please ask the magic assistant at that time to testify?"

I feel sad that prosecutors now accept junior high school students.

The owner of magic venue B shook his head and added.

"I was packing up magic props backstage at the magic venue and didn't see the performance."

The implication is that he didn’t know what the magic show was like at the time——————
