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

He had no intention of hiring a defense lawyer and directly planned to have the state arrange for a lawyer to be assigned to him.

But no one expected that the famous prosecutor Makoto Kusakabe, who was always known for his seriousness, would specially hire a lawyer to defend him.

Toshimitsu Tsujimura also knew this lawyer named Mukai Genmitsu.

A rising star in the legal profession who has gained fame in recent times and has won many cases that were almost impossible to win.

If Xiang Yuanguang were allowed to defend him, perhaps this case could really be reversed.

However, what Tsujimura Toshimitsu needed least was a reversal of the case.

What he needs is to be found guilty, not acquitted.

Otherwise, such a public security case would definitely cause Tsujimura Kimie to destroy everything.

"...If I remember correctly, your grandson and his girlfriend seem to have the same mother and father?"

"Their mother is Tsujimura Kimie, so Tsujimura Kimie deliberately prevented them from being together."

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and said something that made Tsujimura Toshimitsu's eyes widen.

This was something Lao Deng had never expected.

(How could he know all this? Did he investigate the Tsujimura family beforehand?)

(But this is impossible. The diplomatic embassy incident was clearly an emergency.)

(No one expected this to happen...)

Tsujimura Toshimitsu's expression instantly tensed and he was unwilling to say anything more.

For such an old episode, it’s good enough that he can remember part of the plot.

After all, we watched this anime many years ago, since Tsujimura Toshimitsu is willing to take the blame for Tsujimura Kimie.

It is most likely related to Kimie Tsujimura's two children, and then it will extend to Kimie Tsujimura's ex-husband.

(As long as Yueshui's affairs are properly dealt with, it will only take a few hours to find out the identity of this ex-husband.)

(When the time comes, we should be able to defeat Tsujimura Kimie in court by starting with her ex-husband.)

(But why were there four dead people in the diplomatic embassy? And if it was a public security incident...)

Xiang Yuanguang's mind was still working, and he began to think quickly.

Since the Ministry of Public Security is handling the matter here, it means that the killings in the diplomatic embassy threaten public safety.

But it is not too absurd to say that a single poisoning and murder could affect public safety.

The other three dead people in the diplomatic embassy were definitely of special status and were not ordinary foreign residents...

(Did Kimie Tsujimura really put poisonous substances in the teacups, which eventually led to the deaths of four people?)

(But I remember that in the original story, Tsujimura Kimie chose to use a poison needle to kill people...)

(Why is there such a big difference in the plot?)

Many possibilities began to emerge, but without knowing the specific details of the case or having any detailed evidence.

It seems that such thinking should not be deepened because it is not very useful.

Xiang Yuanguang forcibly interrupted his thoughts and opened his eyes.

A black chess piece floated in front of Toshimitsu Tsujimura. This meant that if he could find just one more point to attack, he would get the answer he wanted.

"Maybe I should reverse my previous thinking and stop thinking about [why you want to take the blame for her]."

"Instead, think about [why you can only take the blame for her]."

The blue hedgehog spoke with some certainty.

As if he had grasped some important clues, Tsujimura Toshimitsu's expression suddenly became a little nervous.

Could it be that the hedgehog-headed lawyer in front of him already knew the truth of the matter in just a few words?

But how could such a thing be possible? Unless Xiang Yuanguang could read minds!

"I think it's not just because of Kimie Tsujimura's ex-husband and Kimie Tsujimura's children."

"So, you have to sacrifice yourself to save others."

Tsujimura Toshimitsu's expression changed instantly.

At this moment, both the heart lock and the logical chess collapsed and were destroyed.

It's over. This is the truth that Toshimitsu Tsujimura wanted to hide and the reason why he was unwilling to accept defense.

(It seems that I was right, but why does this special situation occur?)

(Why would Tsujimura Kimie's murder endanger the entire Tsujimura family, but Tsujimura Toshimitsu's murder would not?)

(Will it affect the nature of the case whether one of them committed the crime or not?)

Although one mystery has been solved, there seem to be more mysteries to be solved.

Xiang Yuanguang's eyes suddenly became sharp.

It was so aggressive that Toshimitsu Tsujimura's heart skipped a beat.

"Old Deng, now, write me a letter of authorization, and I can tell you something clearly."

"The Public Security Ministry prosecutor, Makoto Kusakabe, believes that you have insufficient motive to kill and are less likely to commit a crime."

"So he didn't intend to prosecute you as the murderer, but the higher-ups at the Ministry of Public Security bypassed him and prosecuted you..."

“I don’t know the full picture of the case, so I can’t make a comprehensive and accurate judgment.”

"But this case is definitely not something you can take on just because you want to. There is definitely someone behind this pushing it."

The blue hedgehog's expression became serious, and his words sounded very certain, as if what he said was true.

Immediately, Lao Deng's heart became nervous again.

It is indeed strange to say, as there is obviously not enough evidence to prove that he took the blame.

However, the Ministry of Public Security seemed to have anticipated this and immediately agreed to his decision to surrender.

There is indeed something strange behind this matter, but it is not as horrible as Xiang Yuanguang said...

"Tsujimura Toshimitsu, the decision you make now will have a real impact on the future of your grandson and grandson-in-law."

"If I were to be your defense lawyer, I might be able to find out the truth of the case and resolve the incident."

"But it would be different if the lawyers were provided by the state!"

Xiang Yuanguang slammed the table and continued to bluff.

"Because after all, there are only so many lawyers involved in public security cases, and many of them are from the public security department."

"You know the secret police's style of work, aren't you afraid that they will set up a trap to trap your whole family?"

"Time is running out! Lao Deng, make a decision quickly! Should you write this letter of authorization or wait for death?"

Chapter 402 Intelligence Dealer

—————May 27, 5:45 p.m.——————

————— Main Ikedai Office, Kumimon Office——————

"Please take a seat, Miss Yueshui."

Hattori, the butler of the Kumimon Office, kindly asked Nanatsuki Koshimizu to sit down.

The fruit plate that had been prepared long ago was brought and placed on the table.

Seeing this, Nanatsuki Koshimizu was a little surprised, and she looked at the butler Hattori.

"Did you know I would come here? You even prepared a fruit plate."

Butler Hattori said with a smile.

"Ah, this is what I prepared for an emergency. After all, Mr. Kaga has said he is coming."

"You think it's because we're going to talk about something that's not convenient to talk about in a lawyer's office."

"So, I have prepared a fruit plate in advance. Please wait for a moment."

"If Mr. Kaga had already boarded a taxi, it would have arrived in about three minutes."

...It's about three minutes away? Is that true?

Uncle, how do you know the moving speed of the taxi on Kaga Ranmaru's side?

As if sensing the puzzled look of Nanatsuki Koshimizu, the butler Hattori paused where he was.

Then he explained as a matter of course.

"I used to be a taxi driver, so I know a little bit about this."

"It's the same with everything. Just compare it with your previous experience and do the calculations carefully."

"In the end, we will always get the right answer."

(Uh, why is the guy who used to drive a taxi now a housekeeper...?)

(And judging by the knife skills used in cutting the fruit plate, it seems that he once worked as a chef or kitchen helper.)

(From the marks on his palms, he even did heavy manual labor... and even served in the military.)

The paralegal's eyes swept over Butler Hattori who had already turned and left.

I was somewhat amazed at the people in Gumei Law Firm.

Whether it's the shameless undefeated lawyer Kumimon or the versatile butler Hattori.

Or maybe it's like Machiko who came out of some hot-blooded comic, and Kaga Ranmaru who works in intelligence.

Each one of them has his or her own characteristics. It is hard to imagine how this group of talented people were gathered together.

Tick, tick, tick.

The door was pushed open and Nanatsuki Koshimizu turned her head subconsciously.

That is Machiko Dai, who serves as both lawyer Kensuke Kumimon's assistant and a new lawyer.

"Ah, Miss Koshimizu, are you here already? Sorry, the lawyer said he can't get away right now."

"Let me come back and confirm the situation..."

...If he doesn't come back while you're still in the office, just think of it as avoiding bad luck.

Machiko Dai didn't finish what Kensuke Kumemon said.

However, Nanatsuki Koshimizu realized that Kensuke Kumimon had been hiding from Beika Town as if they were avoiding the plague god.

We can also infer to some extent what kind of thinking this famous undefeated lawyer has in mind.

He shook his head helplessly, as a former high school detective.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu didn't believe that there were any monsters or demons in this world.

What plague god, what death god, are all floating clouds, she has acted together with Xiang Yuanguang and Maori Kogoro many times. Why didn't we see her being killed by the aura of the death god or the plague god?

"…If Miss Dai sees Attorney Gu Meimen next time, please tell him that this is the age of technology."

"Don't believe those ridiculous metaphysical theories. They don't hold water no matter how you think about them."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki said this with some sensible reasoning.

This immediately made Dai Machiko nod her head repeatedly.

That’s right, an ace lawyer like Mr. Xiang Yuan who is sincere, just and highly capable.

How could it be possible that he is the god of death and plague who brings death wherever he goes?

As the saying goes, detectives are always attracted to cases. I believe Mr. Xiang Yuan is also attracted to cases and moves forward!

With Machiko Dai also sitting down, the two exchanged some information about the office.

For example, the high-priced defense cases and various special cases on Gu Meimen’s side.

And there are always all kinds of strange and bizarre murder cases on Xiang Yuan's side.

The butler Hattori, who was preparing midnight snack in the kitchen, couldn't help but shake his head.
