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

He should be a very powerful prosecutor, like the undefeated ace or something.

(Makoto Kusakabe, Public Security Prosecutor of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office…)

(Let’s go back and check who this person is.)

The blue hedgehog stood outside the blockade and watched aggressively.

However, the other police officers ignored him, as if there was no such person outside. "That's enough, no more arguing, the target of prosecution has been determined."

"The trial process will begin tomorrow morning, and the police only need to complete the final evidence collection work."

"Inspector Shiratori, the evidence collection list has been transferred to your office computer. Collect evidence from the list."

As soon as Kusakabe Seiji opened his mouth, he brought out important information.

Immediately, Inspector Shiratori and Inspector Kazami, who were arguing, stopped talking at the same time.

Inspector Kazami was puzzled as to why Kusakabe had already released the results when the public security investigation had not yet been completed.

Although prosecutors in this country have absolute powers to prosecute, public security prosecutors are different from criminal prosecutors.

Generally speaking, the public security prosecutors follow the instructions of the public security police on when to prosecute.

Rather than making decisions on their own, the relationship is completely different from that between criminal prosecutors and criminal police.

Therefore, it is extremely rare for Prosecutor Kusakabe to make a prosecution decision directly without going through the public security police!

"This kind of thing... Has the Procuratorate of the Ministry of Public Security already made a decision?"

"But didn't the Inspector General want us to investigate first and then make the final decision?"

Yuya Kazami frowned and asked.

However, Kusakabe Makoto didn't seem to intend to argue with Kazami Yuya.

He just snorted coldly and then said.

"This is an order issued by the Ministry of Public Security, which bypassed me. The suspect will be prosecuted tomorrow and the trial will begin shortly afterwards."

"Moreover, the chief prosecutor told me that your Ministry of Public Security requested the Procuratorate to prosecute immediately."

"Ask me now? What can I tell you? What can I change?"

Hearing this, Yuya Kazami immediately reached out and pressed the special headphones on his ears.

After a while, his expression changed, and finally became several shades darker.

He looked even angrier than when he had just had an argument with Inspector Shiratori.

"... Got it. The evidence collection work here will be handed over to the Criminal Division."

The public security police came in aggressively but left quickly.

They passed through the blockade, dressed in plain clothes, and disappeared into the street in a blink of an eye.

When Feng Jianyuya passed by Xiang Yuanguang, he frowned and took a look.

He seemed to be wondering when this guy was standing here, but in the end he didn't care and just left.

Looking at the disappearing secret police, Xiang Yuanguang's face also became gloomy.

If the police have not completed their investigation and evidence collection, the procuratorate will directly prosecute.

Doesn't that mean that the Procuratorate is simply trying to find a scapegoat to take the blame this time?

Inspector Shiratori took out his work computer from the police car, and many criminals immediately began collecting evidence according to the previous operating procedures.

And Kusakabe Makoto raised the blockade again and came in front of Xiang Yuanguang.

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, I've heard of you...a legendary lawyer who always stands on the side of truth."

"Are you here at the diplomatic embassy to investigate and collect evidence? Or did someone ask you to come here?"

Prosecutor Kusakabe stared at Genmitsu's collar for a while, then spoke.

Hearing this, Xiang Yuanguang took two steps back and leaned against the wall.

"Originally, I was only asked by two friends to come and take a look at the case."

"But now, if necessary, I think I need to intervene in the trial of this case."

"Prosecutor Kusakabe, I would like to ask, who is being prosecuted this time?"

Kusakabe Makoto turned his head slightly, and then spoke with some heaviness.

"The deceased's father, Toshimitsu Tsujimura."

"Heh, he obviously didn't even have a motive, but he pleaded guilty."

"As expected, the Ministry of Public Security should have taken action on both sides at the same time..."

Chapter 399: Closed Trial

The so-called simultaneous police actions may refer to collecting evidence and obtaining testimony at the same time.

After all, it is not impossible for the public security police, who are known as the secret police, to use torture to extract confessions.

At least as far as Makoto Kusakabe can remember, there was an incident where the public security conducted a special interrogation that led to the suspect's suicide.

Therefore, when he was sure that Toshimitsu Tsujimura was prosecuted by the Prosecutor's Office beyond his authority and that his motives were unclear...

The first reaction was that these secret police were up to no good again.

However, the attitude of the police who came to the scene to collect evidence seemed to have angered the criminals here.

This ultimately led to a situation where one side had obtained the guilty testimony, but the other side was unable to produce any evidence of the crime.

"The trial of this case is not open to the public. Those who come to listen are senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department or people involved in the case."

"If you participate in the defense of this trial, I can assure you that the third courtroom you are familiar with will not be open."

"There's a reason why the conviction rate in public security cases is much higher than in criminal cases."

Kusakabe Makoto always has that serious expression.

It is hard to imagine why this middle-aged man with gray hair has such an attitude towards the police.

However, Xiang Yuanguang didn't care about this. It was a good thing that the prosecutor was on his side now.

He frowned and asked very seriously.

"None of this is important. What's important is the circumstances of the case. When will the exchange of evidence begin?"

"You made the decision to prosecute this afternoon, and the trial will begin tomorrow. Does that mean it's tonight?"

"What's the current situation with Toshimitsu Tsujimura? Should I go find him now, or should you appoint me to go when the time comes?"

"No matter what, I must meet with the defendant alone before I accept the commission."

"Otherwise, I can't decide whether I will accept this defense or not."

From the first trial, the presiding judge emphasized the courtroom rules.

Whether the defendant is guilty or not depends entirely on the performance of the defense lawyer.

Unless there is conclusive evidence, even if the defendant pleads guilty, there is still a way to reverse the situation.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Xiang Yuanguang might respect the fate of others.

But in court, he would never allow those who had taken other people's lives to go unpunished.

"If you have time, you can go to the detention center now and meet with Toshimitsu Tsujimura."

"As for the time of exchanging evidence, it will be held in the courtroom at 8 o'clock tonight."

"If you can't convince Toshimitsu Tsujimura to get the letter of attorney, then you can only randomly assign another lawyer to take charge."

"Frankly speaking, in this case, I would prefer you to conduct the defense in this trial."

"I'm afraid you're the only lawyer who won't compromise in front of the police."

He nodded slightly to Yuan Guang, put his hands in the pockets of his blue coat, and turned to leave.

It is obvious that although Makoto Kusakabe believes that Toshimitsu Tsujimura should not be prosecuted, he will not go against procedures.

In this case, he would not allow Xiang Yuanguang, a lawyer, to enter the scene to investigate before receiving the letter of authorization.

It seems that the details of this case still need to be understood from the defendant Tsujimura Toshimitsu.

Why did this guy plead guilty voluntarily and what were the identities of the three additional deaths in the case.

Was the cause of death of the three victims poisonous? Was Kimie Tsujimura the murderer?

These must be verified step by step; there will be no answers just by imagining.

Tick, tick, tick.

Looking at Xiang Yuanguang's gradually disappearing back, Kusakabe Makoto turned around.

He took out his phone from his pocket and entered a special unlock code.

Looking at the instructions given to him by the Chief Prosecutor, a hint of anger rose in his eyes for no reason.

Unlike criminal prosecutors, public security prosecutors also have the right to control the prosecution of cases. But in fact, criminal prosecutors can freely decide whether to prosecute the suspects given by the police.

The public security prosecutors can only follow the orders of the secret police, even if they insist on not prosecuting.

The final result is nothing more than a higher-level prosecutor prosecuting across levels, or prosecuting at a higher level.

(In such a country... as long as the secret police exist, there will never be justice in the public security and prosecution.)

(It was the same as that time, and it is the same as this time...)

The shadow gradually passes over the floors and covers the ground.

Kusakabe Makoto's face was gradually covered by shadows, leaving only his pupils reflecting the light of the mobile phone visible.

————————-——

"What did you say? Prosecution? What's the identity of the deceased? Prosecution was filed before the investigation was completed?"

Kogoro Mori frowned. This kind of thing sounded unbelievable.

It's like someone is putting pressure on the Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security.

Although he did not have a deep impression of the Public Security Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department, those secret police did not seem like the kind of people who would arrest people and take the blame.

"If that's the case, Xiang Yuan, are you really going to take on the defense of this case?"

"No matter how good your defense is, even if it's on the same level as Eri, you can't win."

...Who is Yingli?

Hattori Heiji blinked, and then the image of Kisaki Eri appeared in his mind.

According to the information he investigated, Kisaki Eri and Mori Kogoro were almost divorced.

How can they be so affectionate when they have been separated for such a long time even though they have such a big daughter? Is the information false?

No, no, this is not the key point now...

To be honest, as a family member of a police officer, Hattori Heiji finds it hard to imagine such a thing.

He even wants to go back to Osaka and ask his father whether these secret police really have such great power.

However, the police headquarters in different regions are not connected to each other, so I guess my dad wouldn't know about this.

"It's meaningless to say whether we can win or not. Brother Xiang Yuan is a man who will definitely do what he decides to do."

Hattori Heiji touched his chin, and various related information about the case quickly emerged in his mind.

"Tsujimura Toshimitsu was indicted as the murderer, Tsujimura Isao died, and Tsujimura Kimie was detained as a witness."

"Then, the place we can investigate now... I guess is Takayoshi Tsujimura and Sachiko Katsuragi."

"We should be able to get information about the murderer, the deceased, and the witnesses from them."

"In addition, the identities of the other deceased in the diplomatic embassy are definitely not ordinary people, and they also need to be investigated..."

The Great Detective of Kansai clapped his hands and made the decision immediately.

"Well, I'll go check on the other dead people in the diplomatic embassy."

"Uncle Maori, take them to ask Takayoshi Tsujimura and Sachiko Katsuragi."
