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

At this time, Gui Yueying said in a low voice, "I am here to participate in this trial as the assistant of the prosecutor. Please give me your guidance."

This was within Xiang Yuanguang's expectations, because Gui Yueying did not appear in the courtroom before the trial began.

As one of the people who witnessed the Silver Star incident, Conan received the subpoena from the Inquisition, so it is impossible that she did not receive it.

This means that Guiyue Ying will appear in the court in some other identity. If she is not a prosecutor, she can only be an assistant.

It can't be the defense lawyer, defense assistant, or the presiding judge and witness, right?

Looking at the young prosecutor standing next to Dante, Uncle Maori touched his chin, a little confused.

"That's weird. Why did that white-haired kid call the little girl over to help? Could it be that... he thinks I'm too strong and that he can't handle me alone?"

"That's not right. Why ask the little girl to come? Wouldn't it be better to ask Prosecutor Kujo or Prosecutor Sugiura? At least they are experienced and can handle things efficiently, right?"

(The reason why I asked Gui Yueying to come here was of course to ask her to help me review the scene of the crime.)

Xiang Yuanguang curled the corner of his mouth, not wanting to explain to Uncle Maori, but still said something in a low voice.

"We were senior and junior brothers in the academy, and we work well together. Isn't it better to let other prosecutors come?"

... Senior brothers and sisters? Really? Senior brothers and sisters from the same class as you?

After hearing this explanation, Uncle Maori became even more suspicious and looked at Kizuki Hotaru and Dante.

One looks less than eighteen years old, and the other looks to be around twenty-five. They don't look like senior and junior brother and sister at all. Even if they say they are uncle and nephew, he would believe it.

"Alright, alright. I'm in a hurry. Your Honor, the trial may begin now."

Dante yawned and greeted the judge as if he were hailing a passing taxi driver.

In response, the presiding judge, somewhat accustomed to Dante's rude behavior, nodded.

"Indeed, since both the prosecutor and the defense have arrived at the courtroom, this court should indeed declare the second trial of the diplomatic embassy murder case open."

"Then, before the trial begins, this court will make a final inquiry. May I ask, have the prosecutors completed their preparations? What are the results of the investigation into the Dongcheng Society?"

This time it was not Dante who spoke. Instead, Hotaru Kizuki beside him placed the documents in his hands on the table at the prosecutor's seat, then flipped through a few pages and responded in a low but accurate voice.

"The prosecutor's preparations have been completed and the trial can begin at any time. The results of the investigation by the Dongcheng Society have come out. The Yakuza members who attacked Xiang Yuanguang yesterday morning were not direct subordinates of the Dongcheng Society."

"It was a peripheral organization secretly developed by a member of the Jinshan Group under the Dongcheng Clan. That member has died in a gang fight. The Dongcheng Clan claims that they were not aware of the matter and will cooperate with the police investigation."

The presiding judge of the first trial court frowned immediately. Although he seemed as unreliable as his brother, they were experienced presiding judges in the trial court after all. What cases had they not seen?

The Dongcheng Gang may not really be unaware of this matter, but they found the matter too serious, so they simply found a temporary worker to take the blame. Anyway, the person is already dead, and he insists that he had no knowledge of it, so the police can do nothing about it.

Although he wanted to cause trouble for the Dongcheng Society for this, as the presiding judge, his authority was limited to the courtroom and he had no control over the Dongcheng Society at all.

Fortunately, many senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department were in the courtroom listening to the trial. After hearing the investigation results given by the prosecutors, they were whispering to each other as if they were discussing something.

Therefore, the presiding judge deliberately ignored the conversations with those high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department, and instead looked directly at the position of the defense and began to inquire about the defense's situation.

"So, is the defense's preparations complete? Are there any more dangers?"

"Thank you for your concern, Judge. As for danger... Of course not. It could only be the people who encounter me who are in danger, not me."

He smiled at Yuan Guang and snapped his fingers.

"Also, the defense's preparations are complete. We can begin the trial, your Honor."

Chapter 449: Reversed Mask (21)

I saw that both the defense and the prosecutor had indicated that their preparations were complete.

The blond judge in the main seat nodded, lowered the gavel, and announced.

"Then, this court declares that the trial of the diplomatic embassy murder case has officially begun."

"Please ask the prosecutor to explain the authenticity of the information presented by the defense at the last trial."

The last information presented by the presiding judge at this moment was naturally the information presented by the defense that Tsujimura Kimie purchased cyanide from the Tojo Clan to commit murder. During the last trial, the prosecutor requested a recess on the grounds that he questioned the authenticity of the information.

Therefore, this time the presiding judge directly asked the prosecutor at the beginning of the trial how they confirmed the authenticity of the information, in order to determine whether the prosecutor had completed his work.

Dante was very calm about this and tapped his arm lightly with his fingers, as if it had nothing to do with him.

In fact, he had not investigated this matter at all, and he did not care about it. Therefore, he could not answer the presiding judge's question. But why was he so calm?

Of course, it was not because he, as a noble American citizen, was naturally superior here, but because he handed the matter over to his junior schoolmate Gui Yueying to investigate and handle.

Although Dante and Kizuki Hotaru did not have a close relationship in the academy, after just their first meeting again, he confirmed that Kizuki Hotaru had completely broken away from Kizuki Liuyun's influence and had become a qualified prosecutor.

Therefore, he handed these matters over to his most trusted young prosecutor in the Tokyo Public Prosecutors' Office, Hotaru Kizuki, to prevent any strange incidents such as members of the Black Organization sneaking into the Public Prosecutors' Office or him entrusting the wrong person to handle the matter.

"Mr. Presiding Judge, the prosecutors have investigated and determined that the information presented by the defense is true. The witness, Tsujimura Kimie, did indeed purchase cyanide from a member of the Tojo Clan's Nishikawa Group, in an amount of 350 milligrams."

Gui Yueying flipped through a page of information, told the intelligence she had gathered, and then added a sentence.

"The member of the Jinshan Group of the Dongcheng Clan who sold the 350 milligrams of cyanide was also attacked yesterday and died, just like the member of the Jinshan Group who secretly organized a peripheral organization."

...If Xiang Yuanguang didn't know that this was done by the Black Organization, he would definitely think that Tama was a member of the East City Society who deliberately made trouble at this time. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?

The blue hedgehog took a sip of his coffee before frowning and muttering.

"There's not enough sugar, and the coffee tastes a bit bitter."

"…and coffee that isn't bitter? Is the amount of sugar you put in a lethal amount?"

Uncle Maori complained mercilessly beside him, but this did not change Xiang Yuanguang's expression at all.

Our blue characters are like this. Apart from anything else, we have to keep a straight face, otherwise how can we bluff?

Regarding the conclusion given by the prosecution, the presiding judge's attention was not on the number "350 mg", but on the fact that another member of the Jinshan Group who sold cyanide had died.

The blond presiding judge frowned, feeling that the Jinshan Group of the Dongcheng Society was deliberately looking for trouble. This was a huge problem. How could it be such a coincidence that all the dead died on the same day and from the same cause?

In his opinion, let alone gang fighting, you could just say that they went out for team building together, and then had a car accident on the road and all died. This statement is simply an insult to his IQ.

It's the Heisei era, and are there still gang fights? The era of the Yakuza and Renxia has long been buried in the dust of history along with the decadence and extravagance of the 3K era!

"Old man, whether you believe it or not, this is the conclusion given by the East City Association."

Dante yawned and rested his chin on his hand, looking very sleepy.

"If you think there's a problem, you can check with the Metropolitan Police Department branch in Kamurocho to confirm the situation."

Although the police in Kamurocho might say that it was a hedgehog-head who committed the murder.

Boom, boom!

He flipped through yesterday's court records, glanced at them for confirmation, and then spoke seriously.

"The prosecutor's findings are simply unsatisfactory to this court. Three hundred and fifty milligrams of cyanide is not enough to poison four people."

"That is to say, there is something wrong with the prosecutor's investigation. The Dongcheng Society sold more than 350 milligrams of drugs!"

"If the prosecutor insists that the East City Association only sold 350 milligrams of cyanide, then..." "This court requires the prosecutor to provide witnesses or evidence sufficient to prove this!"

The attitude of the presiding judge of the first trial chamber was very clear. In the past, the presiding judge would accept the investigation results given by the prosecutor.

But this time, because of the attitude of the Dongcheng Society, the presiding judge directly doubted the authenticity of the prosecutor's conclusion.

That is, if the prosecutor cannot provide witnesses or evidence to prove this.

The second trial may end here with Prosecutor Dante being kicked out and the case being retried in the afternoon!

Snap——————

Dante snapped his fingers and said nonchalantly.

"Don't be so angry. Since we dare to come to this conclusion, it must be because someone can prove it."

"The Dongcheng Clan directly asked the person involved in this case, the leader of the Dongcheng Clan's Jinshan Group, Akira Nishikawa, to serve as a witness."

"Old man, do you think his testimony can be considered as conclusive testimony?"

The Ghost Moon Hotaru next to her added.

"Your Excellency, the prosecutor will present new evidence to prove this during Nishikiyama Akira's testimony."

“Therefore, the prosecutor believes that it is appropriate to allow the witnesses to testify in court first and then continue to investigate the situation.”

Seeing that the two prosecutors had the same attitude, the presiding judge nodded.

But he came to his senses and looked at the defense attorney and legal assistant.

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, Detective Maori, what do you think about this?"

...How can I watch? I stand and watch. There is no chair for me to sit on at the defense table.

Xiang Yuanguang took a sip of coffee and shook his head to indicate that he had no opinion.

As for Uncle Maori, he spoke quite seriously.

"In that case, please invite this witness to come to the stage. I want to ask him personally what's going on."

"I think I have some experience in dealing with these Yakuza members!"

Kogoro Mori also suspected that the prosecutors were bribed by the Tojo Clan, so he said this.

But since Xiang Yuanguang did not object openly, he simply went with the flow and let Jinshan Zhang appear in court.

Anyway, we will know whether Nishikiyama Akira is lying or not by asking him in the court.

Both he and Xiang Yuanguang are experts at detecting lies!

(Hehe, Nishikiyama Akira, let me show you how powerful I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, am!)

(When Xiang Yuanguang and I join forces, we have the power to defeat the undefeated opponent!)

Xiang Yuanguang, who was standing next to him, glanced at Uncle Maori. Just by looking at his appearance, he knew what Uncle Maori was fantasizing about again. This was one of the characteristics of this world...

Seriously, does Kogoro Mouri really not wonder why he always falls asleep at the right time and wakes up at the right time after finding out the truth of the case?

(I feel like if this continues, Uncle Maori’s drug resistance will eventually reach the maximum…)

Chapter 450: Reversed Mask (22)

At this moment, the expression on Nishikiyama Akira's face in the lounge was not very good.

If this matter wasn't too involved, and other groups in the Dongcheng Association were inclined to investigate the Jinshan Group's responsibility and kick the Jinshan Group out, he would not have come to the trial court as a witness.

But even if he, the leader of the Jinshan Group, appeared in court as a witness, he could only temporarily curb the future losses of the Jinshan Group. If he wanted to make further progress, he had to find other ways.

For example... if he could get the 10 billion yen that Tojo Clan lost and use it to expand his power, he might even become the fourth-generation president of Tojo Clan...

(If Jinshan Group continues to expand in this barbaric way, it will sooner or later encounter more and more big troubles like it is now. If you want to solve this problem, you must find other ways out and find new partners.)

(However, how many allies in Tokyo can be found that are strong enough to cooperate with the Yakuza? No, it is not impossible...)

Nishikiyama Akira was thinking, with a hint of hesitation on his face, as if he was planning to make a new decision.

At this moment, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and the bailiff stared at the Yakuza members inside and spoke loudly.

"Mr. Jinshan, Prosecutor Dante wants you to testify as a witness in this trial."

Hearing someone calling him, Jinshan Zhang came to his senses and cast a wolf-like gaze on the bailiff's face, which made the bailiff subconsciously take two steps back and swallow his saliva.

However, Nishikiyama Akira just raised his head and looked at him, then stood up from his seat, walked to the side of the bailiff, and said something calmly.

"Let's go. I've been waiting for a long time. It's time to put this matter to rest."

The bailiff heaved a sigh of relief, and then took Jinshan Zhang to the direction of the first trial court. However, Jinshan Zhang felt a little strange at this time...

Because there seemed to be too few people in the courtroom, whether it was the second courtroom, the third courtroom, or the other lounges, there was no one there.

What was going on? The police were setting up traps to arrest people? Could it be that the terrorists who dared to kill people openly dared to sneak into the court to commit murder?

crunch.

A small gap was opened in the lounge somewhere.

Someone looked through the crack in the door at Jinshan Akira and the bailiff, then closed the door and stopped looking.

—————May 29th, 8:40 a.m.——————

—————Tokyo District, First Court——————

As the door was pushed open, the leader of the Tojo Clan's Nishiyama Group, Akira Nishiyama, appeared.
