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

It would be better to say that this car has no way to [accelerate], and the accelerator is fixed at the highest gear from the beginning.

"Mr. Judge, Prosecutor Sugiura, I believe you can tell from this autopsy report, right?"

"The car's accelerator was pinned to top gear, and theoretically, it was impossible for the car to accelerate."

"But Kento Toba said that the car was accelerating... Why is that?"

Xiang Yuanguang's tone was indifferent, and he glanced at Kento Toba at the testimony stand.

Then he snapped his fingers again and spoke calmly.

"The answer is that the deceased did not [step on the accelerator], he simply [released the brake]."

Hearing this, Prosecutor Sugiura could not help it and finally slammed the table and stood up.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Kanaya Hiroyuki was already dead, how could he have released the brakes?"

"Are you saying that the deceased could also release the brakes of the car voluntarily?"

"…Why not?"

Xiang Yuanguang asked a question in return, which immediately left Prosecutor Sugiura speechless.

"Well, maybe it's because no one in this world has ever used the magic of [Resurrection of the Dead]?"

The unyielding elite prosecutor thought for a moment and immediately retorted.

After all, he really didn't believe Xiang Yuanguang's ridiculous reasoning. It would take seven days for Jesus to be resurrected after his death.

Could it be possible that Hiroyuki Kanaya could be resurrected seven minutes after death and drive off a cliff to die again?

Isn't it outrageous to tell others about this? Who would believe it?

Even the audience was talking about it because they didn't believe it either.

If Xiang Yuanguang was not on the defense bench at this time, they would probably have questioned the lawyer's professionalism.

"Dude, this isn't some magic that can bring the dead back to life. It's just a simple [softening of the corpse]."

“难道你没学过这方面的知识吗？死者在30分钟至2小时开始僵直，死后9到12小时呈全身僵直，一直持续到持续至死后30小时。”

"Then the body begins to relax and soften 40 hours after death, and returns to its original state about 70 hours after death. So if you put the stiff body against the brake until it softens..."

"It is possible that the deceased actually released the brakes himself, causing the car to accelerate until it fell off the cliff."

Hattori Heiji finally couldn't hold back his urge to try, and he stood at the defense table and directly refuted Prosecutor Sugiura.

He further showed off his knowledge as a famous detective.

Kento Toba, who was standing behind the witness stand, was surprised and looked at Hattori Heiji at the defense seat.

"The autopsy report said the deceased was in abnormal rigor mortis, which means the degree of rigor mortis was not right."

"If he died in the early hours of yesterday morning, he should be in a state of stiffness by now. How can he be normal?"

"Therefore, the time of death of the deceased must not be the early morning of the third day after entering the Mycroft Hotel."

"Let me guess. It was probably after 9:25 a.m. on the first day?"

The words of the Kansai Detective immediately made Kento Toba's expression turn gloomy.

Although there is still a deviation in time, the general reasoning is correct...

Who exactly is this black-skinned guy?

Chapter 386: The referee is a big reversal! (17)

"What you just said is correct, but there is still a problem, because the deceased does not have enough time to break free from rigor mortis."

"Since the stiffness only starts to dissipate after forty hours, it will take seventy hours for the body to return to normal."

"That's from 9:25 p.m. on the first night to 3:30 a.m. on the third day when the crime occurred."

"It's not even forty hours, so your statement can't shake my reasoning at all!"

Kento Toba added his thoughts with a gloomy expression.

However, at this moment, Xiang Yuanguang shook his head again.

He sighed, then snapped his fingers.

"It doesn't take that long. When the temperature is high, twenty-four to thirty hours is enough."

"And the heater was on in the car at the time. I wonder if you knew this, Mr. Toba Kento."

"Even if the vehicle fell off a cliff, the heater indicator light inside did not go out, so at most the heater could not be released."

"Do you want to know what temperature is displayed on the indicator next to the heater light in your vehicle?"

Hearing this, the presiding judge asked questions in cooperation.

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, what's the temperature inside the car?"

pat.

With a snap of his fingers, the blue hedgehog pulled out a photo from somewhere.

The content of this photo was projected onto a screen for everyone to see.

The temperature inside the car showed... 35 degrees, which is hot enough for people in this country.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Toba Kento, you can't rule out the suspicion of murder among the three people in the restaurant."

The white chess piece flew up instantly and hit one of Kento Toba's black chess pieces with a whoosh.

Click.

The black chess piece was smashed to pieces in an instant, and even Kento Toba's expression became gloomier than ever.

This matter was indeed beyond his expectations. He had never expected such a useless lawyer and an even more useless assistant...

He actually possesses such strong professionalism and reasoning ability, but... it's useless just by itself.

"…Even if you say so, the number of suspects has only increased by three at most."

"You said I was the murderer from the beginning. Isn't it enough for you to prove the actual time of death of the deceased?"

"Don't forget, no one witnessed Kanaya Hiroyuki being killed on the first day of the event!"

Kento Toba slammed his hands on the table, refusing to give in.

However, this is indeed a problem because no one witnessed Hiroyuki Kanaya's murder.

Therefore, theoretically, everyone at the crime scene at the time is a suspect of murder, but this alone is not enough to identify the murderer.

Just when he was about to agree with Toba Kento's words and give Xiang Yuanguang some strength.

Then the BGM that had been playing since Yuan Guang cast a spell of wind magic suddenly became more exciting.

Sensing that something was not right, Prosecutor Sugiura swallowed the words of agreement that were about to come out of his mouth.

"You have no alibi, Mr. Kento Toba."

Xiang Yuanguang's finger gently touched his forehead.

He brought up a topic that stunned Kento Toba.

This is the reason he used to attack Hiroo Kawazu, who is now in the dock.

But now, Xiang Yuanguang turned around and put this reason on his head, which is ridiculous!

The murderer who called himself a famous detective sneered and asked back.

"I don't have an alibi, but does Kawazu Yuo have one?"

"That's right. Kawazu Yuo has an alibi. Everyone has an alibi except you."

Xiang Yuanguang's words immediately surprised Toba Kento.

How could this be possible? He had no idea that he had such a huge flaw!

"Don't forget why you came to Mycroft's Hotel. It was for the Study in Scarlet."

"And how do you get it? By answering questions. After 9:25 on the first day, everyone was answering questions."

“So just by looking at a collection of a thousand questions you can infer what they were doing on the first day.”

The murderer, who was holding on, pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a sneer that was uglier than crying.

"That only means that they have done that incredibly thick collection of questions. What does that mean?"

"Can't they just stop working on the problem, go out and kill someone, and then come back and continue working on the problem?"

…Listen to yourself and see if what you say is human language. He sighed and snapped his fingers at Yuan Guang.

Hattori Heiji, who was standing at the defense table, immediately understood and took out new evidence from his bag———————

A collection of questions for all participants in this Sherlock Holmes fan event.

Xiang Yuanguang placed his hands lightly on the question sets and spoke calmly.

"Whether they do more or less, whether they do it right or wrong, it doesn't matter."

"But you, Kento Toba, your collection of questions is completely empty, without a single word."

"Excuse me, what is your purpose in coming to Mycroft's Hotel? To participate in the activities? To get a book?"

"That's impossible, because you didn't do any of the questions. There's no way Kanaya Hiroyuki would give you the book."

"If you don't even do the questions, you don't even have the qualifications to discuss them with others."

"Excuse me, what is your purpose in coming to Mycroft's Hotel?"

It was as if a dyeing factory had opened on Kento Toba's face, with countless colors changing.

He scratched his hair with his hands, not at all like the smug look he had before.

"I, I'm here to participate in the event... No, I'm here to get that book..."

"No, that's not right... I'm coming... yes, I'm coming..."

Various scenes related to the case of Kanaya Yuichi flashed through his mind.

For a moment he couldn't tell the difference between memories and reality.

It was difficult to piece together a new answer with his broken thoughts, so he chose to seize the last moment of inspiration——

"I-I knew from the last time I participated in the whole program that Hiroyuki Kanaya didn't want to give the book to anyone else."

"He's simply advertising that he owns the book! That's why I don't write a title!"

"I'm just here to play with my girlfriend Ayako Oki..."

"So, I'm helping Oki Ayako finish her collection of questions! Look, isn't hers full?"

Kento Toba spoke loudly, somewhat incoherently.

He turned his dead girlfriend into a golden soul ring to protect himself.

If you must say so, it actually makes sense, after all, Ayako Oki is already dead.

No matter what he said, there was no way Oki Ayako could give a different answer in court.

"…Prosecutor Sugiura, did you hear that? Are you still on Kento Toba's side now?"

"I mentioned this before when I was scolding other prosecutors: People who can't distinguish right from wrong are either bad or stupid."

"Which of these two types of people do you want to be now?"

Xiang Yuanguang gently rubbed his lawyer medal with his fingertips.

His attitude was very clear. Just like Ben Chitai in the past, he could not intervene and just sat on the sidelines and watched the fight.

He did not falsify testimony, conceal evidence, or say anything in court that would jeopardize his future.

Well, no matter what the outcome of this trial is, at least he won't be in any trouble.

that's enough.

Not everyone is like the invisible madman Xiang Yuanguang, who is willing to risk everything for the justice of the trial.

He is just an ordinary person who wants to go further on this road and can't care about so many things.

Xiang Yuanguang closed his eyes, and the next moment, he opened his eyes slightly.
