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

At this time, the female magician at the testimony stand also began to answer questions.

"Because when I went to the magic venue of the Miracle Magic Troupe to play with my brother, he would take me to a fixed room to play, for fear that I would affect other people's learning or performing magic."

"He said that was the room assigned to him by the teacher. It would be locked except when he was practicing magic. Only he could enter it. So when I went to the Miracle Magic Troupe, I went directly to that room."

"The Miracle Magic Group will mark the props they are going to use in advance to avoid confusion with the ones they are going to use for practice. The handcuffs in Kujuku Motoyasu's hands have the mark of a performance prop—"

"I was leaning on the door frame to look inside, and when I saw Kujuku Motoyasu turned his head, I ran away immediately. Then I ran into my brother at the backstage entrance who was asking the backstage staff to fill the water tank for the performance."

"He heard what I said and felt it was incredible, but the performance was about to start and he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurried onto the stage... When I chased him out, the performance had already begun..."

A faint sigh sounded in my ears.

At this moment, Xiang Yuanguang suddenly turned his head and saw a young man in a black magic costume floating beside him.

He was wearing a black magic hat, his face could not be seen clearly, and his body was somewhat illusory and could not be seen by others.

It is obvious that the true identity of this young magician is Kinoshita Yoshiro who died fourteen years ago.

In order to persuade Miyoshi Mako to give up on Kujuku Bunno, Xiang Yuanguang met with him...

Perhaps it could be considered a meeting, so when he saw him again, Xiang Yuanguang was able to recognize him at a glance.

"I didn't believe Sakura's words and rushed onto the stage."

"If I had checked the handcuffs one more time before the performance, this accident would not have happened."

Kinoshita Yoshiro said with regret, and seemed to have come to terms with his own death.

That’s right, the enemy has been avenged, my sister went astray, and now she has come to her senses and returned to the right path.

Now that he was about to find out the truth about his death in court, he really had nothing to be obsessed with.

The Hedgehog Head was listening to Kinoshita Yoshiro talking, while the others were waiting for the Hedgehog Head to speak.

He was whispering something, as if talking to himself, and no one else could hear clearly.

"You can actually appear without channeling? Is this the second time?"

"But since you are here, please tell me...what is the problem with the handcuffs."

Genius magician Yoshiro Kinoshita pushes up his black magic hat.

He finally turned around to look at Miyoshi Mazi at the testimony table, and then looked at the handcuffs on the evidence table.

"Because I have nothing to worry about in this world anymore, and the connection will soon be completely cut off."

"So I can come out and see you again at the last moment——————"

"It was Mr. Aso who told me this method. To make a long story short."

Mr. Aso... Keiji Aso?

Xiang Yuanguang suddenly remembered Keiji Aso who appeared next to Aso Minoru when the Tsukikage Island case was over.

It turns out that it was not an illusion, but a real soul, the last echo left in the world...

Because he saw that all his enemies were captured and Masato had become an independent man, so he had no more worries, so he could spontaneously come out to meet him again...

So, this is also the reason why Director Chihiro Mitsuaki makes her final appearance in Ace Attorney...?

The hedgehog-haired lawyer's eyes became more determined.

"Okay, please tell me what you know, and leave the rest to me————"

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, I heard that you are also a magician, so you should know the principle of magic handcuffs."

Yoshiro Kinoshita stood beside Genmitsu and spoke calmly.

Xiang Yuanguang certainly knew the answer to this simple question.

The so-called magic handcuffs are actually similar to toy handcuffs. Compared with real handcuffs, they can be opened without a key.

There is a small mechanism on the edge of the keyhole where the key is inserted into the toy handcuffs.

Press it to directly unlock the locked handcuffs.

The mechanism of the magic handcuffs is of course the same, except that the small mechanism is hidden and refined.

This can cause people to mistakenly believe that the magic handcuffs are real handcuffs that can only be unlocked with a key.

"I guess the only possibility is that the joints of the handcuffs are stuck, or the switch is stuck."

"From the outside, there shouldn't be any difference from before the modification."

Xiang Yuanguang walked slowly in front of the evidence table, his eyes fell on the handcuffs.

Then, his eyes suddenly froze and he turned to look at the photo on the other side.

That was one of all the evidences that Reiko Kujo submitted at once during the Keisuke Tsuruoka case three years ago.

This seems to be a photo of the backstage of the magic show...

(Hmm? I remember that this item didn't seem to be included in the evidence submitted by the owner of Magic Venue D.)

(How did an extra photo appear? Who submitted this photo as evidence?)

The Hedgehog-head's thoughts paused for a moment.

But he soon realized that no matter who submitted the photo, now was not the time to use it.

"You can't draw any conclusions just by looking at them. If you can take the handcuffs apart, then the contents will be clear at a glance."

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, I don't have much time to stay here. Now let me tell you what happened."

Kinoshita Hideyoshi seemed to sense something and spoke anxiously.

"I am listening."

He frowned at Yuan Guang and raised the evidence bag containing the handcuffs.

"Mr. Judge, the defense requests to open the evidence bag and inspect the evidence. Please approve this."

The bald old man at the main seat nodded and lowered the gavel.

"The court agrees with the defense's idea. Please open the evidence bag and check it yourself."

The body of the genius magician next to him began to become illusory, and he was recalling what happened at that time.

When Genkou opened the evidence bag and began to check the handcuff mechanism, Kinoshita Yoshiro also spoke.

"What Sakura told you before was correct. I did have a private room in the Miracle Magic Group at that time."

"The key is only in the hands of my teacher and me, and the magic props I use for my performance are inside the room..."

Click——————

Ordinary people need props to dismantle the magic handcuffs, but Hedgehog Head does not.

He exerted a little force with his hands, and the handcuffs' opening mechanism performed a "I split" movement.

"Before I perform magic, I ask a staff member to go to my room to get the magic props."

"Then I discovered that something seemed to be wrong with the water tank near the stage and it didn't rise, so I went backstage."

"I ran into Sakura on the way, and then a staff member nearby told me that the water tank had risen."

"I didn't care about anything else and went straight to the stage, and the person who handcuffed me was the staff member I asked to go to the stage."

...In other words, if we can find the staff member that Kinoshita Yoshiro originally commissioned.

We just need to confirm where he got the magic cuffs from to determine the final truth.

Because the magic handcuffs normally go from the room → staff → Kinoshita Yoshiro.

If the order becomes Jiujiu Yuankang → staff, or room → Jiujiu Yuankang → staff.

Then the final truth only requires you to choose one of the two and dig out the result.

A glimmer of understanding flashed across Xiang Yuanguang's eyes.

"I understand. Leave the rest to me."

The genius magician next to him reached out and patted Xiang Yuanguang on the shoulder. Although it was just an illusory figure, it brought a sense of reality like a real person.

"Then, the rest is up to you, Mr. Xiang Yuan."

Kinoshita Yoshiro beside him had completely disappeared, and the hedgehog-headed man was now pouring out the wood chips inside the handcuffs.

He turned around without hesitation, looked at the soul of Jiujiu Yuankang in the dock, and pointed his finger.

"Watch out! Kinoshita Yoshiro's death was definitely not a simple accident, because there was a loophole in the small mechanism of the magic handcuffs..."

"Normally it's impossible for sawdust to fall in, let alone get stuck in the right place."

"And the magician must have checked whether the magic props can be used the day before the magic show."

"Therefore, the defense believes that the sawdust must have been mixed in by Ninety-Nine Yuankang who was in the deceased's room at the time!"

"So, Kinoshita Yoshiro's death was not a simple magic accident, but a deliberate murder by someone else!"

She tapped her fingers on the table, looked at the hedgehog-head, and asked in a deep voice.

"So, the final indictment of this serial murder case, what can the defense say..."

"Is the real murderer of Kinoshita Yoshiro the evidence or witness of Kujuku Motoyasu?"

Reiko Kujo's gaze flashed across Asako Miyoshi at the testimony stand.

She turned and spoke again, seriously.

"The testimony of Miyoshi Mako alone is not enough to prove that the handcuff mechanism was sabotaged by Kyujuku Motoyasu."

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, do you have any key evidence that can prove this?"

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Xiang Yuanguang in front of the evidence table.

The defense attorney in the blue coat turned around without hesitation.

He had a confident smile on his face, and then he snapped his fingers and turned his hand over to point at Kujo Reiko.

"Of course we have it. The defense has evidence that proves that Jiujiu Yuankang is the murderer who destroyed the handcuff mechanism!"

“That piece of evidence is——————”

Xiang Yuanguang's hand suddenly slapped the two photos on the table of the testimony desk.

Then, pull it straight out and raise it above your head.

“————These two photos!”

Show——————Evidence [Photos of the magic show]!

Show——————Evidence [backstage photos]!

"The solution to the problem lies in this. Please see, these two pieces of evidence are [decisive] contradictions with the case!"

The hedgehog-head looked righteous and confident.

Reiko Kujo, who originally wanted to say that Xiang Yuanguang was talking nonsense, was shocked at this moment.

She looked at the contents of the two photos enlarged by the projector with doubt.

Looking left and right, I tried to find where the decisive contradiction that Xiang Yuanguang mentioned lies.

On the other side, the young prosecutor was not paying attention here. She was looking through the case information of several cases.

He quickly deduced the circumstances of the five cases, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he asked the bailiff next to him to come over.

After saying something, the bailiff quietly left.

"As expected of Lawyer Xiang Yuan! He is amazing. He actually found the key evidence right away!"

"Lawyer, look at Lawyer Xiang Yuan, I wish you were as good as him!"

Machiko Dai cheered and jumped for joy, not noticing that the face of Kumimon next to her had turned dark.

What a key piece of evidence! There is no contradiction between these two photos and the case at all.

He was simply using the momentum left by his previous quick reversal of several cases to trick Kujo Reiko.
