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

Because as a former criminal, Kogoro Mori actually has a good idea of ​​how the yakuza organizations develop. If he asks the members of the organization to hand over their share on this basis, Nishikiyama Akira will at least be kept for a little longer.

By that time, it is possible that Nishikiyama Akira will say too much and reveal some secrets that the Tojo Clan is not convenient to disclose. Why did Mouri Kogoro give up his original strategy at this time?

Needless to say, the reason is that Edogawa Conan, who is sitting in the last row, is speaking on behalf of Mouri Kogoro. In his eyes, these things can be put aside for the time being. He is more concerned about the existence of the Black Organization.

Anyway, the Kamurocho police have already stepped up their control over the Tojo Clan. Even if Nishikiyama Akira didn't reveal any useful information in court, the police would still be able to find it out afterwards.

But if the Black Organization's lurking mole in the investigation team is not exposed during this trial, there will be no second chance, and they must seize the time.

For a wolf like him, interests are of vital importance. Whoever touches his interests will become his enemy. But now Dante's words are a disguised way of protecting his interests, it's just that they are not very pleasant to hear.

Therefore, Nishikawa Akira just nodded indifferently and did not intend to say anything more.

In response, the presiding judge of the first trial court just frowned, but he still understood the importance of the matter. He immediately lowered the gavel and then spoke.

"Then, please ask the witness Nishikiyama Akira to leave the court temporarily, and ask the bailiff to bring the witness in this case, Tsujimura Kimie, to the testimony stand in the courtroom to testify."

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

Nishikiyama Akira pushed open the door of the courtroom and left the first courtroom. He was led by the bailiff to return to the lounge to wait for a possible second court summons, but he saw that guy on the way...

I met the woman who purchased cyanide from the Nishikigami Group, causing great damage to the interests of the Nishikigami Group and even the entire Tojo Clan—Tsujimura Kimie.

The wolf's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if it wanted to tear Tsujimura Kimie to pieces.

Kimie Tsujimura felt a chill on her back, but she did not recognize who Akira Nishikiyama was.

After all, the person who had transactions with Tsujimura Kimie was just a member of the Nishikiyama Group, so it was normal that she had never met Nishikiyama Akira.

The two men passed each other, and the door of the first courtroom was opened again, and Tsujimura Kimie returned to the courtroom.

(Why do people look at me like this? They look at me like a criminal...)

Tsujimura Kimie's heart suddenly became heavy. She quickly walked to the testimony stand and finally discovered something strange in the courtroom - one person was missing and one person was extra.

The lawyer's assistant Kogoro Mouri, who was originally at the defense seat, disappeared, and a little girl appeared next to Dante at the prosecutor's seat.

Could it be that Maori Kogoro turned into a little girl and became the prosecutor's assistant?

"It seems that Ms. Tsujimura Kimie has arrived at the testimony stand."

When Kogoro Mouri's voice came, Kimie Tsujimura realized that this guy was leaning against the wall behind the defense seat, his body hidden by the table, so she didn't see him at first glance.

However, this made the presiding judge confused, and he asked suspiciously.

"Detective Mori, you can't see the witness stand from this angle, right? How do you know it's Mrs. Tsujimura who's here?"

Of course, Edogawa Conan, who was sitting in the last row of the audience, saw it all clearly. He curled his lips and made up an answer to fool people.

"Because when I was in the police academy, I learned how to identify people by their voices in order to catch criminals."

Immediately, the presiding judge nodded and stopped arguing.

And the existence of Kogoro Mouri makes him even more powerful in the heart of Ran Mouri... ?

Chapter 453: Reversed Mask (25)

Dante curled his lips. He had only heard of identifying a location by its voice, but had never heard of identifying a person by its voice.

This guy is probably talking nonsense, or someone is using a voice transmitter to tell him his location.

What do you mean by a sleeping detective? It was nonsense. It was probably a trick that Maori Kogoro used to run his business. He had seen many such fancy detectives in the United States, such as the various exorcist detectives.

However, since Xiang Yuanguang had no objection to having this guy as his teammate, as Xiang Yuanguang's opponent in the Tribunal, there was naturally no reason to remind Xiang Yuanguang to find a reliable guy as his new teammate.

"Okay, the people are here. What testimony do you plan to get from Tsujimura Kimie?"

When hearing Dante's words, Kogoro Mori's voice did not fluctuate, as if his emotions were very stable.

"The defense will ask the witness several questions before giving testimony."

Conan raised his bow voice changer and his eyes fell on the hedgehog head of Xiang Yuanguang.

As if he felt the gaze from behind, Xiang Yuanguang took a sip of coffee and nodded slightly.

Then, Conan continued.

"Kumie Tsujimura, how did you kill Isao Tsujimura and three members of the special investigation team?"

This is a question that Kimie Tsujimura has answered many times.

She frowned, glanced at Toshimitsu Tsujimura in the dock, and then replied impatiently.

"I have said it many times, I didn't kill anyone, and even if you ask this, there will be no other results."

"Okay, then you didn't kill anyone, and neither did Tsujimura Toshimitsu. It was a third party who killed someone."

Kogoro Mouri's voice was calm and even had a hint of smile.

There was an immediate commotion in the courtroom because Detective Maori's words were so shocking.

Even though he was not questioned a second time, he was directly ruled out as a suspect in the murder.

How can such a conclusion be convincing?

Defense attorney Xiang Yuanguang just stood there quietly holding his cup of coffee without expressing any opinion.

This made the presiding judge frown and he asked loudly.

"Defense attorney, are you sure you won't interfere with the paralegal's speech? Is this what your defense advocates?"

In response, the blue hedgehog nodded slightly and said without hesitation.

"In this trial, Detective Maori's claims are my claims. Before his reasoning is complete, I will only provide additional evidence or details to supplement his reasoning."

(Does Mr. Xiangyuan trust Detective Maori Kogoro so much? Do they have such a good relationship?)

Gui Yueying at the prosecutor's table was a little surprised. Although she had indeed seen them acting together before, she still found it hard to believe that they would cooperate with each other in the courtroom.

She had also heard about the Sherlock Holmes fan murder case that Prosecutor Sugiura was previously responsible for. At that time, Attorney Xiang Yuan's legal assistant was a famous detective, but that famous detective went wrong in his reasoning.

As both of them are famous detectives, but one is active in the Kanto region and the other is active in the Kansai region. Does that mean that Kogoro Mori is much more capable than Heiji Hattori?

She glanced at Prosecutor Dante beside her and saw that except for the initial surprise, he looked indifferent, so she still opened her mouth to ask.

The young prosecutor's question was crucial. This was the reason why the murderer was identified as one of Toshimitsu Tsujimura and Kimie Tsujimura in the last trial, because the tea was brewed by Toshimitsu Tsujimura and Kimie Tsujimura.

If the tea was poisoned, it could only have been put there by one of Toshimitsu Tsujimura or Kimie Tsujimura, who were in the kitchen at the time. Unless the evidence the defense is going to present can overturn the testimonies of both Toshimitsu Tsujimura and Kimie Tsujimura at once... otherwise, this claim will not be accepted by the presiding judge and the prosecutor.

"Ms. Ying, the answer is no—"

Conan raised the bow, looked at the situation on the field, and said confidently.

"——————The defense cannot prove that there was a third person in the kitchen during the tea-making period."

Hearing this, the whole audience was in an uproar again. Since the defense couldn't prove this possibility, wasn't that pure nonsense? Was he using his own future to amuse himself with the people in the courtroom?

The presiding judge became serious and was about to raise the gavel to punish the defense and let them know their place, but he saw Dante raise his hand to stop him from lowering the gavel.

"Wait a minute, old man, isn't it too late to make a decision after the defense has finished speaking its case?"

The red-robed prosecutor seemed to be interested. Although it was clearly the opponent's weakness, he did not pursue it.

"Wait a minute, if the defense makes some shocking remarks that overturn your statement, won't you feel embarrassed? These are all high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department, right?"

The blond judge in the main seat frowned, wondering how he could be the kind of judge who was afraid of authority and dared not make a fair judgment, but after thinking for a while, he put down the gavel without knocking on the table.

Because he felt that since the defense claimed this, there must be evidence or witnesses that could prove it, otherwise the defense would not be so confident to sleep in court...

"The reason why the defense cannot prove that there was a third person in the kitchen during the tea-making period is that there were indeed only two people in the kitchen at that time, Tsujimura Toshimitsu and Tsujimura Kimie, and there was no third person."

Kogoro Mori repeated his idea as if he was speaking a tongue twister.

Tsujimura Kimie, who was standing behind the testimony stand, immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Since there is no third person in the kitchen, the murderer must be Toshimitsu Tsujimura. It can't be anyone else. What do you want to say?"

In response, the blue hedgehog put down the coffee cup, then snapped his fingers and said in a rather relaxed tone.

"Tsujimura Toshimitsu is certainly not the murderer, and there is certainly no third person in the kitchen. The defense's argument is that the murderer did not kill the four people by poisoning their tea."

Hearing this, a hint of doubt appeared in Guiyue Ying's eyes, and her pupils gradually lost their normal focus, but at this time, Dante snapped his fingers and woke Guiyue Ying up.

"Junior, now is not the time to be in a daze. The answer is right on the puzzle. Just think about it and you will know."

The silver-haired prosecutor in red patted Gui Yueying's little head and spoke softly.

"If the cyanide was not in the tea, but it entered the body through the tea, where would the cyanide have to be placed to do this?"

...So that's how it is. Is this what they mean by the answer being right on the surface of the riddle?

The young prosecutor came to her senses and realized that the answer to this puzzle was so simple.

But she suddenly realized that she had heard this sentence in other places.

That is what Xiang Yuanguang mentioned when he was in Shikoku, pretending to be a black magician.

Why would Senior Dante say the same thing at this time? The trial in Shikoku was not widely circulated. Could it be that Senior Dante and Mr. Xiang Yuan already knew each other before?

"If the cyanide was not in the tea, it was actually drunk by the deceased."

The voice of Kogoro Mouri was heard.

"Then, there is only one truth——"

Chapter 454: Reversed Mask (26)

"Then there is only one truth! The cyanide was not put in the tea, but in the tea bowl!"

Conan gave the final answer without hesitation, and he spoke calmly to his red bow.

"Only in this way can the tea contain the toxicity of cyanide without a third person in the kitchen."

"As for the evidence that can prove this, it has already appeared in the courtroom."

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, please point out this piece of evidence."

Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers lightly, and his hand flipped, pointing at the evidence on the evidence table.

"Watch out! The defense demands to present evidence——[Tea set from the diplomatic embassy]!"

This was an evidence that was brought to the trial court as the murder weapon before the crime occurred, but both the defense and the prosecution tacitly ignored this key piece of evidence during the trial.

Because no matter whether Tsujimura Toshimitsu pleaded guilty or the defense claimed that Tsujimura Kimie committed murder, the key evidence involved were all teapots that matched the tea set, and the method of murder was poisoning with tea.

The psychological implications brought about by this special situation directly caused the defense lawyer and the presiding judge in charge of the trial to fall into a ditch. Only Conan, who had not been involved in the game from the beginning, could see at a glance that something was wrong.

"But, Attorney Xiang Yuan, Detective Maori, I don't understand why this set of tea can prove that your claim is correct? Because the tea set was once filled with tea containing cyanide..."

"So it is normal to detect cyanide in tea sets, right? If you hope to use this to prove that the real murderer poisoned the tea sets instead of the tea, this court cannot accept it."

The golden-haired presiding judge in the main seat shook his head and interrupted Xiang Yuanguang's words directly.

However, at this time, Kogoro Mori spoke again.

"Is that so? I don't think so, because we have already argued about the tea set in the court before, and you, the presiding judge, also mentioned it at that time——————"

"You said that this tea set was placed there the day before as a decoration?"

Hearing this, whether it was Tsujimura Kimie, Tsujimura Toshimitsu, or the presiding judge, they were all shocked.

Yes, if that's the case, there is indeed a possibility that the murderer poisoned the tea set the day before.

But... but...

"But if there is such a murderer, how did he know that the members of the special investigation team would arrive at the diplomatic embassy on that day? And how did he know that they would definitely use that set of tea sets to drink the tea in the diplomatic embassy?"

Dante asked this crucial question on behalf of the presiding judge, and then the corners of his mouth curled up.

"The reason is simple. Someone leaked the information and told the murderer the real time when the special investigation team arrived in Tokyo. In other words, there is a mole in the special investigation team."

When these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar. No one had expected that this murder case in the diplomatic embassy would actually involve a traitor. Generally speaking, isn't the traitor assigned to the special investigation team a spy?

But who would come to the Inquisition to catch spies? Is the Inquisition a place to catch spies?
