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

"Eh? Are you up at this hour to defend a case? Oh, can I go with you?"

"I knocked on the office door at this time two days ago, but no one responded to me. It took a lot of effort to..."

Hattori Heiji grabbed the door with his hands and spoke loudly while trying hard.

"...Didn't you watch the news?"

Xiang Yuanguang raised his eyebrows, raised his watch to look at it, then turned his head to look at the calendar.

Then, he turned back to look at Hattori Heiji again and said in confusion, "Kudo Shinichi's case was closed yesterday morning. The news should be broadcast in the afternoon or evening."

"If you read the news, you will know that the defendant is not Kudo Shinichi, but Kaito Kidd."

"The so-called Kudo Shinichi is just Kaito Kid in disguise."

"...?"

Hattori Heiji blinked, looking a little confused.

What? Was this reported in the news yesterday? When was it reported?

Could it be that it was broadcast on the evening news when he was on the phone with his family yesterday?

"So, if you want to find Kudo Shinichi, I suggest you go directly to the Maori Office."

"Just think about it, Mao Lilan is almost equivalent to Kudo Shinichi's girlfriend."

"And these two always appear at the crime scene together. Aren't they closer than me, the defense lawyer?"

The hedgehog-head sighed and continued.

He thought about what might happen to Hattori Heiji's hand after he slammed the door shut.

He simply let go, yawned, turned around and sat back at his desk.

"Anyway, there are still people in the office who haven't woken up yet. If you don't want to leave, keep your voice down."

"If you wake her up, I'm not sure if she will come up and give you a flying kick."

He pushed the door of the office open with too much force.

Hattori Heiji staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He managed to steady himself with great difficulty, and when he looked up he heard such an explosive thing.

"You mean [her]? Are there actually girls in an office like yours?"

“It seems like there aren’t many female lawyers out there…”

The famous detective from Kansai turned around, closed the door, and lowered his voice a little.

Although I am a little curious why there are other people living in the office, this is not the point.

He sat on the chair in front of Xiang Yuanguang's desk, his eyes darting around restlessly.

(Hmm, knives hanging on the wall, white chairs like those at a roadside stall, bookshelves for files...)

(It seems that this lawyer has a lot of martial virtues, and as for the samurai sword, has he also learned kendo?)

As if he noticed Hattori Heiji's restless gaze.

Xiang Yuanguang said unhappily while flipping through the case documents in his hand.

"Although this is a general law firm, I mainly accept commissions for case defense."

"In a few days, after I get the commission, I will change the name back to [Xiangyuan Law Firm]."

"So forget about asking me to find Kudo Shinichi."

"I have nothing to do with him——————"

"It's obvious, right? How could a lawyer who advocates justice not check the identity of his client?"

Hattori Heiji directly interrupted what Genmyou was saying.

He spoke in a low voice in the local Japanese dialect which Xiang Yuanguang could not quite understand.

"You must have confirmed the client's identity. If he is not Kudo Shinichi, then at least you have Kudo Shinichi's permission. Otherwise, you would not have recognized Kaito Kid as the client and defended him."

"Hey, lawyer, I've checked. It's said that there was a man on the Silver Star who called himself Kudo Shinichi and instructed the police officers who were on vacation at the time to dismantle the time bomb. There's no such coincidence in the world."

"Did you get to know Kudo Shinichi on the Silver Star, and then you believed that Kudo Shinichi would not kill anyone, and therefore you defended Kudo Shinichi in this Kaito Kid murder case?"

The famous detective from Kansai looked quite confident and spoke in Japanese with a Kansai accent.

"If I hadn't confirmed from the news that Kudo Shinichi was under police investigation, I would have gone to some Sherlock Holmes fans' gathering to look for Kudo Shinichi, right?"

Chapter 368: Have you ever seen the famous sword technique?

"Almost went to a Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts' gathering... is this what you're talking about?"

Xiang Yuanguang took out a page from the folder and lifted it up.

So that Hattori Heiji, who was sitting in front of the table, could clearly see the words above.

"Mycroft Inn, a mystery quiz for Sherlock Holmes fans..."

"This is indeed the place I was planning to go to. No, is there a murder case?"

The famous detective from Kansai was shocked.

He had heard of the simple and unsophisticated style of Beika Town even in Osaka.

But seeing is believing, when he clearly realized how high the crime rate was.

I still can't help but sigh, this is indeed the simple and unpretentious Beikacho, people from Osaka are ashamed of themselves.

"Ah, wait a minute, how about letting me see it if it's convenient for you?"

"I'm a famous detective in Kansai. I can easily handle cases like this."

"You should know [Hattori in Kansai, Kudo in Kanto]——————"

Hattori Heiji suddenly reacted and looked at Xiang Yuanguang thoughtfully.

It seemed like he had never introduced himself from the beginning, but it felt like this hedgehog-headed guy seemed to know who he was.

Could it be that his title of Kansai Great Detective has spread to Tokyo City in the Kanto region?

(No, no, no, isn’t it said that “Kantō’s Kudo, Kansai’s Hattori”?)

(I’m probably not well-known here, so why was I recognized at first sight?)

(Has this guy ever researched anything related to me?)

"It's almost time. The trial will start at 8:30. I have to leave at 8 o'clock."

"Because I still need to talk to my client in the lounge about some matters concerning the trial."

"If you have nothing else, please leave first. I'm going to lock the door and leave."

Xiang Yuanguang casually put all the case information into his own folder.

He stood up and was about to leave when Hattori Heiji next to him suddenly asked.

"Hey, what's up with that knife of yours? It looks like a real knife with a sharpened blade."

"Even if it's sheathed, I can still feel the same sharpness as you. Have you ever learned kendo?"

Have you learned kendo? Yes, a little bit.

Xiang Yuanguang glanced at the samurai sword hanging on the wall.

Then he raised his hand and grabbed the samurai sword.

This is not an ordinary knife, but an item he obtained after using the reversal value to extract the system.

But no matter whether it is the karma and divine punishment as the name means, or the sin of hunting.

From the perspective of defense, in this modern society, they can almost be said to be useless props.

"Has it been sharpened...? That's not certain. Is it sharpened or not?"

"This is something that I, as a black magician, decide, just like that chair over there."

"It appears when I need it, and disappears with the wind when I don't need it."

As soon as the hedgehog-haired man finished speaking, Hattori Heiji immediately heard some subtle sounds.

He immediately turned his head to look at the white plastic chair behind his desk, and saw that chair...

Just like sand dissipated by the wind, it disappeared without a trace.

(Magic? When did this happen? I didn’t even notice it!)

(As expected, he is a top magician who was invited by the Suzuki family to defend against the thief magician Kaito Kid.)

(This strength... is indeed to the extent that ordinary detectives cannot find any flaws.)

Crunch——————

The main door of Xiangyuan Universal Office was pushed open.

Looking at Xiang Yuanguang walking downstairs with a sheathed samurai sword, Hattori Heiji hesitated for a moment.

Out of concern for going out with a sharp knife, he followed.

When he went out, he closed the front door with a click.

Obviously, at least until Xiang Yuanguang comes back or the person inside wakes up.

No one could open the main door of the office on the second floor through normal means.

Walking down the external stairs, Xiang Yuanguang placed his hand on the hilt of the Demon Hunting Sword.

When both parties arrived at the open space,

The blade flashed, and high-speed slashes passed through the open space in an instant.

By the time Hattori Heiji reacted, Genmitsu had just put the samurai sword back into the sheath -

Although he didn't seem to have found the right position for the scabbard, after trying several times, he just slowly put it away.

However, this guy's swordsmanship seems to be very powerful... ordinary kendo practitioners do not have such skills.

Xiang Yuanguang was holding his folder and said coldly.

"Ashina Mushin-ryu: Flying Boat!"

Ashina Mushin-ryu: Flying Boat...

Hattori Heiji searched for the name in his mind, but he found nothing.

In fact, of course he would get nothing, because Xiang Yuanguang was just swinging the knife around with both strength and speed.

There's no way in this world there could be such a thing as Ashina Mushinryu as in the game.

He was just teasing Hattori Heiji who came from afar.

While Hattori Heiji was lost in thought, Genmitsu quickly rushed into the car.

Insert the key, start the engine, start the car, and get ready to go on a road trip.

He won't take this trouble, let Conan enjoy this blessing.

However, at this moment, the famous detective from Kansai used his once-in-a-lifetime teleportation skill.

When Xiang Yuanguang was about to start the car, he appeared next to the car window.

"Hey, hey, hey, buddy, I finally get to see you once, you can't let me go back like this, right?"

"You have to solve the case anyway, so take me with you. Since we are here now."

...Damn, why is it so fast only at this time?

Helpless, the Hedgehog-head pushed open the passenger door.

Hattori Heiji got into the car immediately and fastened his seat belt while sitting down.

When the vehicle set off, he was still looking through the case information in the folder in a familiar manner.

I even have time to pay attention to the road conditions.

When they were halfway through the journey, the famous detective from Kansai couldn't help but ask.
