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

—————Teitan Elementary School, Class Judges Meeting——————

The class trial was about to begin, but the Junior Detective Team, who had been excited, was now a little hesitant, because based on the information they had received so far, they were still not sure where Yazaki Yasuji's money had disappeared.

In this case, it is still unknown whether Haibara Ai is the "murderer" who stole the money. Although this is only a class referee, the Junior Detective Team, as "lawyers", has the obligation to prove the client's innocence.

"In court, whether the defendant is guilty or not depends on the performance of the lawyer."

Xiang Yuanguang stood at the defense table, tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers, and spoke seriously.

"Mitsuhiko, Genta, Ayumi, this may be just a game, but it's no joke."

"As lawyers, you must firmly believe in your clients and the defendant's innocence. Under this premise, any evidence or testimony that contradicts the facts you have deduced is wrong."

"As for false testimony and evidence, you need to rely on your own logic and reasoning to find out where they are wrong, and use your words as bullets to shatter those false testimonies and evidence."

The faces of the members of the Junior Detective Team all became serious, but since Xiang Yuanguang was willing to assist them as a paralegal, the school referee should be a sure winner this time————-

Then, Xiang Yuanguang silently took a step back and protected the members of the Junior Detective League in front of him.

"Ah? Uncle Xiang Yuan, why is this?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was shocked, but the blue hedgehog responded calmly.

"This is your stage! Go ahead, Junior Detective Team, and let the God of Death see your wisdom and bravery!"

At this moment, [Death] pushed his plain glasses and looked at his hedgehog friend with an unfriendly look. He really had an urge to use an anesthetic needle on this guy, but it was not a good idea to do so in public.

Kobayashi Sumiko noticed the situation at the defense table and felt a little amused and helpless about the farce between Mukai Genmitsu and the Junior Detective Team, but she still knocked on the podium and spoke seriously.

"Alright, I declare the class refereeing. Please allow the prosecutor to explain the circumstances of this incident!"

As the prosecutor, Conan opened the [Court Record] in his hand - this was a notebook kindly provided by the teacher. Because this was a parent-teacher meeting, Conan and Uncle Maori came empty-handed.

"Okay, presiding judge. The reason the class judge initiated this case is that Yazaki Yasuji lost 1,000 yen in living expenses, and the person who could have received Yazaki's living expenses at the time was the defendant in this case, Haibara Ai."

"Since the only students in the classroom during lunch break were Ai Haibara and Yazaki Yashiji, after excluding the possibility that Yazaki miscounted the money, Haibara is most likely to have received the lost 1,000 yen, so... therefore, we are suing."

Conan pretended to read, and as he read, his expression became a little strained. As expected, an elementary school student is just an elementary school student. He can't even make up a story about losing money. If he were in charge, the case would definitely not be one that could be solved at a glance.

Hearing this, Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers, but the Junior Detective Team did not react. Instead, they turned around and looked at the blue hedgehog in confusion. Seeing this, the hedgehog sighed and shook his head.

I can’t carry it, I can’t carry it. At this time, you should slam the table and shout your objection. Boom!

I saw someone slapping the desk. The wooden table top and the hollow drawer made a loud noise even for an elementary school student, so much so that everyone's attention was attracted at the first moment.

"Objection! It's true that Yazaki-san and I were the only ones in the classroom during lunch break. However, if Yazaki-san had been in the classroom the whole time, he would have noticed my movement, so I wouldn't have been able to get 1,000 yen!"

"Because, Yazaki-san didn't say that I was the one who took the 1,000 yen————such a clear accusation, right? This means that he didn't witness the scene with his own eyes, so there is no evidence to prove that I took the 1,000 yen, so the prosecutor's accusation is actually meaningless!"

At this moment, Haibara Ai slammed the table and expressed her opinion as a defendant, which immediately made the members of the Junior Detective League react. Yes, they are lawyers, and sometimes they have to raise objections.

This isn't the Detective Boys' daily reasoning activity, and Conan can't just keep talking. They also have to express their own opinions, otherwise, won't Haibara be wronged?

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya reacted and immediately imitated Haibara Ai and slapped the table, but because he subconsciously restrained his strength, no sound was made. He subconsciously turned his head to look at his hand, then raised his head and said.

"Yes, that's right! The defense agrees with what Huibara-san said! If Yazaki-san stays in the classroom, then if Huibara-san wants to take the 1,000 yen, she can only do so in front of Yazaki-san!"

"So, Yazaki-san must have seen Huibara-san taking away the 1,000 yen. Then, the other students and parents who heard Yazaki-san crying and came over must have seen the 1,000 yen in Huibara-san's hand..."

"But no one saw Huibara-san with 1,000 yen in his hand. Therefore, the prosecutor's claim is invalid. There is no evidence to prove that Huibara-san took 1,000 yen!"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's sudden remarks surprised Genta who was standing next to him, but Genta Kojima, who claimed to be the captain of the Junior Detective Team, reacted immediately. He also slammed the table, and this time the sound was louder than Haibara Ai's.

"That's right, that's it! Conan, if this goes on, you won't be able to refute it!"

The parents were standing outside the classroom watching the class referees. Seeing this, they couldn't help but nod their heads repeatedly. They felt that the class referees' rehearsal for this mock trial was quite formal. However, they didn't understand why both the defense and the defendant slammed the table when refuting the prosecution.

Seriously, no one really thinks that whoever slams the table louder and more loudly in a courtroom will make more sense and be more convincing, right? No way? No one really thinks that, right?

When Kogoro Mori thought of what Genmitsu had done, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

It has to be said that Attorney Xiang Yuan, who is known as a rising star in the Tokyo legal world, even called an ace lawyer by some gossipers, and whose strength is second only to Eri, may really think so.

"No way to refute? That's not necessarily true, Yuantai, the plaintiff hasn't spoken yet!"

Conan pushed up his plain glasses, and a white light flashed through the lenses. The majesty of the god of death instantly frightened several members of the Junior Detective League and they took a step back.

Because they feel that the current Conan seems to have become more special and more dangerous than when they were together normally. Could it be that the current Conan is his heyday?

Whitening is three points weaker, blackening is twice as strong? !

"Your Honor, the prosecutor now asks the plaintiff to testify on this incident."

Chapter 503 Scenario Assumptions

“Oh, oh, oh… Then, please let Yazaki-san give his testimony…”

Taiwan Novel Network →?????.???

The presiding judge, the class teacher Sumiko Kobayashi, blinked her eyes. She was a little surprised by Conan's performance. The performance of the Junior Detective Team was also beyond her expectations. Therefore, she was a little shocked at this time and couldn't come back to her senses.

I have to say, when both sides were fully into the game, the classroom where the grade referee was conducting the competition really looked like a court in Tokyo. The atmosphere became a little serious, and even she seemed a bit like the real presiding judge.

(If you knew what a real judge is like, you wouldn't think so.)

Xiang Yuanguang secretly complained in his heart. Although he didn't know what Kobayashi Sumiko was thinking, as a reversal protagonist whose mind was often read, he had some experience in this aspect after being read so many times, and could guess a thing or two.

Yazaki Yasushi in the plaintiff's seat raised his head in confusion and looked around. For some reason, Haibara Ai, who seemed to be indifferent, now became serious and confronted Conan in the prosecutor's seat.

Even the Young Detectives, who originally looked as confused as he was, seemed to be getting into the mood, but he was still a little puzzled. What was going on with this atmosphere where only he was failing?

Shaking his head, Yazaki Yashiro tried hard to be serious and said seriously.

"I left the classroom for a short time during lunch break to go to the bathroom. When I came back, I saw Huiyuan-san walking in the classroom. Then I opened the envelope containing the living expenses and saw that there was a 1,000 yen note missing!"

"According to Conan's idea, I will now present the envelope containing the living expenses as evidence!"

Present——————the evidence [the envelope containing living expenses].

There were eight Natsume Soseki (1,000 yen portrait) notes in the envelope. Yazaki Yasushi claimed that there were a total of nine 1,000 yen notes in the envelope when he left, but now there are only eight 1,000 yen notes left.

Hearing this, Xiang Yuanguang subconsciously tapped his forehead. He felt that something was wrong with this piece of evidence. There shouldn't have been nine thousand yen bills in the envelope...

(Hmm, did Conan ask him to change his story? What's his purpose? To present all the evidence collected by the students as evidence, to make this incident more like the class referee rehearsal that Mr. Kobayashi mentioned?)

"Well then, let's accept the evidence presented by Yazaki-san."

Teacher Kobayashi clapped her hands to show that she acknowledged the existence of this evidence.

The members of the Junior Detective League looked at each other in bewilderment. They were unsure how to refute the new evidence presented by Yazaki Yasuji, who claimed that the 1,000 yen was lost when he left the classroom to go to the toilet.

It seemed that Haibara Ai was the only one in the classroom at that time, which means that there was no human testimony or other evidence to refute Yazaki Yasushi's words, and there was no way to prove that Haibara Ai did not take the 1,000 yen.

Seeing this scene, Haibara Ai in the dock placed her hand on her schoolbag without hesitation, then dropped it on the table in the dock and spoke calmly.

"If the plaintiff wants to say that I took the 1,000 yen, then he must produce evidence that the 1,000 yen was on me or in my school bag. Now, I will submit my school bag as evidence."

"If there is no 1,000 yen in my schoolbag, nor in my drawer, nor in my pockets, then it means that I do not have 1,000 yen on me, and therefore the plaintiff's assumption is invalid."

"Teacher Kobayashi, please come and check if I have 1,000 yen on me, and show the backpack to everyone to completely refute the plaintiff's statement." Show the evidence [Haibara Ai's backpack].

Because it was a parent-teacher meeting, there were no books in the schoolbag. Instead, there were two empty lunch boxes with no banknotes of any denomination inside.

The young detective team at the defense table cheered, thinking that they could reverse the situation again, thus making it possible that Haibara Ai did not steal the 1,000 yen.

However, after Mr. Kobayashi accepted the evidence, Conan, who was standing in the prosecutor's seat, pushed his glasses again, a white light flashed, and he turned and spoke.

"Sometimes theft is not for money, but for mischief. Therefore, the fact that Huibara-san didn't bring 1,000 yen with him doesn't prove that she didn't take Yazaki-san's 1,000 yen."

"Because according to Yazaki's testimony, from the time he arrived at school, to the time he briefly left the classroom at noon, to the time he returned to the classroom and found that one thousand yen was missing from his living expenses, only Huihara could have committed the crime."

"Therefore, if the defense really did not commit theft, please produce evidence that can completely rule out this possibility now—"

Conan's eyes fell on the evidence submitted by Haibara Ai - the schoolbag. He paused, feeling that the Junior Detective League should notice this detail, and then continued.

"Otherwise, you can only prove that it is impossible for Haibara-san to keep the stolen 1,000 yen on her, but you cannot prove that it is impossible for Haibara-san to steal the 1,000 yen from Yazaki-san."

In a normal trial court, this kind of rhetoric is obviously untenable. If the prosecutor dares to say such a trick in front of Xiang Yuanguang, then the eight-level gale at this time will turn the prosecutor's hairstyle into a mess.

However, if put in the special group of elementary school students, Xiang Yuanguang would not think that what Conan said was nonsense, because there really are such idle elementary school students in the world, and he even encountered them when he was a child.

For example, there is that stupid student who has nothing to do and secretly takes the textbooks that other students need to use during their lunch break and puts them under the podium or behind the blackboard, waiting until other students are in a hurry before taking them out.

(Also, this is a kind of guidance. The Junior Detective Team should come up with some of their own ideas at this time and produce evidence to prove that the scenario assumed by the prosecutor is completely untrue.)

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and looked at the somewhat panicked members of the Junior Detective League and couldn't help but sigh. However, even if Conan hinted to the members of the Junior Detective League openly or secretly, it would be difficult for them to react immediately.

And at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, like the savior of the Young Detective Team.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait. If we follow your assumptions, then it is indeed the case. But if we follow the actual situation, then it is not the case at all!"

Uncle Maori couldn't help it. He quickly came to the witness stand and spoke loudly.

"Because after Yazaki Seiji came to school, he wasn't away for such a short period of time!"

Chapter 504 The witness is Kogoro Mori!

Kogoro Mouri's words immediately made the members of the Junior Detective League react.

Yes, Yazaki Yasuji was not the same as Conan said. He only left the classroom briefly once from the time he entered the class to the lunch break. He clearly went to the cafeteria to eat during the lunch break!

Genta Kojima immediately spoke loudly to express his thoughts.

"Conan, you're wrong! Yazaki-san clearly went to the cafeteria to eat during lunch break! It doesn't look like what you said, he just left for a short time to go to the bathroom!"

"That's right, Huibara-san is obviously innocent!"

Ayumi Yoshida also echoed Genta's words, and after hearing what Kogoro Mori said, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya thought of the scene where Conan seemed to be looking at Haibara Ai's schoolbag intentionally, and he suddenly had an idea.

As a companion of the Junior Detective League, although Mitsuhiko did not know that Conan was acting to increase the drama of this class trial, Mitsuhiko believed that Conan could not really think that Haibara Ai was the thief.

Therefore, Conan’s words just now should be a reminder to the Junior Detective Team!

Although there was no reason, Mitsuhiko firmly believed in the bond between the Junior Detective Team and directly took this seemingly unreliable conclusion as what he thought was the correct answer.

Therefore, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya raised his hand and said without hesitation.

"Teacher, the defense demands to present evidence——————[Graybara Ai's schoolbag]!"

His request immediately made Teacher Kobayashi stunned. After a while, Teacher Kobayashi asked in confusion.

"What use is there, then, in bringing up this evidence now?"

Mitsuhiko slammed the table and said loudly in affirmation.

"This evidence proves that Huiyuan and Xiangyuan's lunches during lunch break were actually pre-prepared lunch boxes, and that they did leave the classroom during lunch break to eat the lunch boxes they brought with them."

"From this, we can conclude that if Yazaki-san didn't leave the classroom during lunch break, then his backpack should have contained an empty lunch box, just like Haibara-san. Otherwise, his statement would be contradictory."

"If the evidence provided by Yazaki-san contradicts his previous testimony, then we can assume that Uncle Maori's testimony is correct, and Yazaki-san did leave the classroom during lunch break to eat in the cafeteria!"

Conan, sitting in the prosecutor's seat, pushed his glasses and asked.

"Let's not talk about what's in Yazaki-san's backpack, but lunch boxes are also disposable, right? If Yazaki-san puts the lunch box in the trash after using it, it's normal that it can't be found."

"That's not the case! There's no lunch box in the trash can!"

At this time, Yuantai interrupted Conan and said righteously.

"Besides, the uncle in the cafeteria said that he saw Yazaki-san in the cafeteria, so he must have gone to the cafeteria to eat!"

The situation seemed a little stiff at this point. Mr. Kobayashi, who was standing on the podium, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yasushi Yazaki, who was standing in the plaintiff's seat, and asked for his opinion.

"So, Yazaki-san, are you willing to produce your school bag as evidence?"

Hearing this question, Yazaki Yasushi seemed a little hesitant, but one of the other students in the classroom who was in the audience said loudly at this time, "I remember that Yazaki's schoolbag contained extracurricular books! Because the teacher's lecture in the morning was too boring, I borrowed an extracurricular book from Yazaki, and that's when I saw it!"

Teacher Kobayashi's face suddenly turned dark. Although she was a bit rigid in order to maintain her serious image as a class teacher, it shouldn't be to the point where the parent-teacher meeting would be boring, right?

The student who was talking was hiding among the other students. Although Kobayashi Sumiko had an urge to find this student, she finally chose to swallow her anger and not bother with the elementary school student for the time being.

However, the student's words completely opened up Yazaki Seiji's heart. This student, who usually seemed a little withdrawn, showed an expression that the Junior Detective Team had never seen before.

Yazaki Yasuji opened his schoolbag with an embarrassed smile and showed the contents to the head teacher. There was indeed no lunch box inside, but several extracurricular books.

There was no lunch box or textbook inside, only a few extracurricular books that looked very interesting. This was probably one of the reasons why Yazaki Yasushi usually kept to himself and often stayed in the corner.

"Hey, this book looks interesting... Yazaki-san, can I take a look after the rehearsal?"

Ayumi Yoshida stared at the cover of one of the books and said embarrassedly.
