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

And now he obviously began to hint at it, trying to get the murderer to reveal his motive himself.

(Sherlock Holmes' scandal? Which one? None of them would be murderous, right?)

Conan thought to himself.

Hattori Heiji was thinking about how his reasoning was wrong again.

(Could it be that Kento Toba didn’t kill Kanaya Hiroyuki because of his research on the bloody book…)

(Did he want to kill Oki Ayako and Fujisawa Toshiaki who discovered the incident together in order to cover up the truth about Kanaya Hiroyuki's death?)

"W-What are you talking about!? That's not a gossip, that's slander!"

"It's a slander on Holmes's reputation! You wouldn't understand!"

Kento Toba was furious. He pointed at Minamoto and shouted angrily.

"Irene Adler is the only woman Holmes recognizes, and she should recognize Holmes too!"

"How could she possibly laugh at Holmes? This is clearly a distortion of the original novel!"

"I absolutely cannot tolerate such behavior! Even if Holmes knew about it, he would support me!"

Such extreme words make people wonder if this guy's mental state is not normal.

Xiang Yuanguang ignored all this. He turned around, glanced at Prosecutor Sugiura, and then said.

"The defense requests the submission of a new exhibit - The Ridicule of Irene Adler."

"This book was jointly published by the deceased, Hiroyuki Kanaya, and the victim, Toshiaki Fujisawa."

"Your Excellency the Judge, did you also hear Toba Kento's ghostly howling just now?"

"The motive, process, method and time of this serial murder case have been made clear."

"As the person who is the most likely suspect in all three cases, I think there is no possibility that he will not be convicted."

"Yes, in the opinion of this court, it is just as the defense has said."

The presiding judge nodded, agreeing with Xiang Yuanguang's statement.

But just before making the final judgment, he saw Xiang Yuanguang grab his demon hunting knife.

I was horrified and just as I was about to dissuade him, I saw a sharp knife flash by——————

Although there was actually nothing, Kento Toba felt a phantom pain as if he had just been [cut open]!

He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground with a dazed look on his face, and no longer mentioned Irene Adler and Sherlock Holmes.

"Why are you so nervous? I just... turned off the background music."

Xiang Yuanguang pressed the button on the handle of the Demon Hunting Sword, and the BGM in the courtroom finally disappeared.

At this moment, everyone realized that the BGM that had been playing just now was not the new ability of Master Xiang Yuan.

Rather, it is his magic prop that looks like a samurai sword but is actually a sound product!

The presiding judge was helpless and could only lift the gavel and smash it down hard.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

"The facts of this case are clear, and the sentencing trial for Kento Toba will take place soon."

"Now, this court declares that the defendant in this case, Kawazu Yuo——————"

【Not guilty】

Chapter 390: Kuma Sukawa, long-lost

Kawazu Hiroo's innocence was within the expectations of Genmitsu Mukai.

But this was beyond the expectations of Prosecutor Sugiura.

The case that was thought to be a sure win was ruined so easily.

How can this not make people sad and sentimental?

Do you know how much damage it would cause to a middle-aged worker if he lost the first case after being transferred?

"…Even though we're rivals, you're pretty good."

Xiang Yuanguang glanced at Prosecutor Sugiura who looked uneasy beside him.

He snapped his fingers and said with a smile.

At this moment, Prosecutor Sugiura's blood pressure suddenly rose again.

If he didn't still have a trace of rationality left in him, he would have rushed over and punched Xiang Yuanguang!

Although, the final result is probably that he was sent to the ICU for emergency treatment...

"Prosecutor Sugiura, please follow the normal case handling process and conduct an emergency arrest procedure."

"Arrest the witness, Kento Toba, and wait for the sentencing trial!"

The presiding judge said sternly.

Prosecutor Sugiura sighed, thinking that as a grown-up, he shouldn't bother with this little guy.

He called the bailiff nearby and left the courtroom with Kento Toba, who was dazed and slumped on the ground.

If the other party does not intend to appeal and proceed to a second instance, the sentencing trial will probably be held tomorrow.

He killed two people in a row, attempted to kill a third, and had a bad attitude towards admitting his guilt.

It is estimated that the sentencing will not be too light... He also needs to prepare the handover materials.

Tick, tick, tick.

Prosecutor Sugiura left the third courtroom with the bailiffs and Kento Toba.

It was not until now that Takagi Shigeru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that we made it in time. I thought we wouldn't have enough time to send the evidence to the trial this time."

"Even if I rushed to the Mycroft Hotel last night and then came back, it would still take too much time."

"Besides, we have to go through the forensic department for relevant identification. It's really troublesome."

After meeting with Fujisawa Toshiaki last night, Xiang Yuanguang asked Takagi Shigeru to go to the Microv Hotel.

Because he didn't know whose side Shiratori Jinzaburo, the criminal officer in charge, was on.

Therefore, it is more convenient to ask a trustworthy criminal attorney to make the trip, so as to avoid the court being adjourned to the next day.

But looking at the current situation, it seems that Inspector Shiratori also helped in this process.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Officer Takagi and Inspector Shiratori."

"How about I treat you guys to ramen at noon? I just got some commission."

He snapped his fingers towards Yuan Guang and said with a smile.

"Your Excellency the Judge, would you like to come along? Three is a please, four is a please as well."

...Is it also a please to invite three people?

Hattori Heiji next to him didn't react for a moment.

It was only a moment later that he realized that Xiang Yuanguang had silently included him as well.

The Kansai Detective turned his hat back helplessly.

Although such a case is not that difficult.

However, in the specific environment of the trial court, it is still too difficult to reach a final conclusion.

I was planning to help, but now it seems like I wasn't able to help at all.

"Ah? I, uh, forget it. I'll go next time when I have time."

"But Lawyer Xiang Yuan is becoming more and more calm now. I feel that you are different from the beginning."

"I just heard from others that you were like this three years ago, and now you've just changed back..."

The bald old man tidied up the table and mentioned what happened three years ago.

In fact, there is no question of whether one can change back or not. Xiang Yuanguang three years ago is two different people from him three years later.

Although others just thought he had lost his memory...

"Well, let's go, Detective Hattori, come along."

"The ramen shop nearby tastes pretty good. I think people in Kansai are used to it..."

Ding, ding, ding. The cell phone rang, and Xiang Yuanguang raised his eyebrows.

The sender of the letter is... Nanatsuki Koshimizu, the lawyer's assistant who slept through the entire trial.

She, who didn't look like a girl, seemed to have finally woken up.

[I'm waiting for you at the door of the courtroom, don't sneak away! ]

【Koshimizu Nanatsuki】

(She seemed to be inexplicably unhappy.)

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and led a few people towards the gate of the third trial court.

However, as soon as he arrived in the corridor, his thoughts were no longer on this page.

Instead, it fell on an old acquaintance whom I hadn't seen for a while.

Prosecutor Kuma Sukawa.

As a senior prosecutor of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, he has always remained unknown.

It’s not so much that he lacks the ability, but rather that he simply refuses to take part in any high-profile trials.

It gives people the feeling that Kuma Sukawa is deliberately hiding himself...

In fact, Xiang Yuanguang's intuition has always told him that Kuma Sukawa is not as simple as he seems.

"Long time no see, Kuma, have you had lunch?"

"...?"

When I put a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

Why does this hedgehog-head always like to ask if people have eaten when he greets them?

It gives people the feeling that this guy doesn't seem to be from this country...

Kuma Sukawa shook his head and didn't seem to intend to say anything more.

"No, and I don't plan to eat it for the time being."

"Xiang Yuan, if you have nothing to do recently, it's best not to show up in public all the time."

"Otherwise, you might run into some trouble that's hard to deal with next."

(What kind of trouble will I run into next? What kind of trouble?)

Xiang Yuanguang's eyes were filled with surprise.

However, at this time, Kuma Sukawa had already walked past them with the documents.

At the corner, a few unfamiliar-looking guys were waiting for Kuma Sukawa to come over.

Tick, tick, tick.

The figures of several people disappeared around the corner, which made Xiang Yuanguang even more confused.

At this time, Inspector Shiratori next to him stared at the corner where the few people disappeared for a long time.

He suddenly realized what was happening and said in surprise.

"That guy seems to be Inspector Tomari from the Special Investigation Division...? Why is he here?"

Xiang Yuanguang had never heard of this term.

Moreover, Takagi Wataru next to him was also a little confused, not to mention Hattori Heiji who was from another place.

Noticing the puzzled expressions of the people around him, Inspector Shiratori coughed twice and then spoke.
