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

The so-called questioning stage is the questioning of witnesses' testimony.

If handled properly, a lot of useful information can be obtained and evidence can be used to explain the case.

Nakano Soshu finally came to his senses and nodded.

Look at Detective Takagi and question the last sentence!

Boom!

The new lawyer slammed the table and shouted loudly.

"I want to question the authenticity of the testimony [After Koto Ichiro confessed, he was arrested.]"

Question this sentence?

The people in the gallery were in an uproar, not understanding why there was any room for doubt.

"At that time, Detective Takagi said that the famous detective Maori Kogoro and the lawyer Mukai Genmitsu were present, right?"

"That's a famous sleeping detective, and combined with the deterrent power of a lawyer, it's unmatched."

Prosecutor Gold, also known as Xiang Yuanguang, twitched the corner of his mouth silently.

Well, he knew how Nakano Souji was going to argue his point.

Bluffing and assumptions are well played.

Boom!

Slamming the table again, Nakano Sosuke directly expressed his opinion. "It is entirely possible that the defendant pleaded guilty because the pressure from Maori Kogoro and Mukai Minami was too strong!"

"And the person who hid the murder weapon in Genguang's home may not necessarily be the defendant! He could also be the witness Arita Hirosuke!"

"This evidence can prove that I am right!"

Evidence——[Murder weapon: knife]!

The audience was in uproar again.

The presiding judge could not help but bang the gavel in his hand repeatedly to quiet everyone present.

Then, he carefully looked at the murder weapon wrapped in the bag.

The presiding judge did not notice anything wrong.

"I guess the lawyer wants to say that the fact that there are no fingerprints on the murder weapon proves that the defendant did not commit a crime?"

"Unfortunately, we found the blood-stained gloves in a nearby trash can."

Prosecutor Gold snapped his fingers again.

He took out a brand new cup of coffee from somewhere, leaned on the table, and looked at Nakano Soki.

"The DNA comparison of the bloodstains on it is the same as that of the deceased's blood."

"Therefore, the fact that there were no fingerprints on the murder weapon cannot be used as evidence that the defendant is not a suspect."

[Evidence: The blood-stained gloves have been added to the record.]

(W-what? There is such evidence?)

Nakano Soki became nervous again.

Does this mean that his first appearance in court will end in defeat?

"Don't be nervous, Nakano-kun. The defense has just begun."

Eri Kisaki appeared very calm, and she looked at Prosecutor Gold.

This guy's appearance is completely different from the person in my memory.

But his body movements have already betrayed him, and even aliasing cannot change that.

Prosecutor Gold must be the lawyer Xiang Yuanguang.

(I said Xiang Yuanguang would not let the defendant get away with anything, but I never thought he would go this far.)

(Is it the temporary prosecutor system? Hmm... it's not impossible to refute it.)

Kisaki Eri said seriously and confidently.

"Although it cannot be proved that the defendant is not suspected of committing a crime, the prosecution cannot prove that the defendant has definitely committed a crime!"

"The defendant's DNA was clearly not found in those gloves, otherwise Prosecutor Gold would have pointed that out directly."

"However, there are no other suspects in this case except the defendant Yan Toichiro."

Prosecutor Gold shook the coffee cup in his hand and stared at Eri Kisaki.

"If you want to say that Koto Ichiro is not the murderer, then do you have evidence to prove it?"

[Xiang Yuan, Auntie Hibiki Eri would not do something without a reason. She will definitely provide evidence to prove this.]

[It seems that the truth of this case will be revealed soon. ]

Conan's voice came through the headphones.

At this moment, Kisaki Eri knocked on the table hard, making a noise.

She said without hesitation.

"Of course! The defense can produce evidence that the defendant could not have committed when the murderer committed the crime!"

"I will present new evidence and new witnesses to the court!"

"Her appearance will overturn all the assumptions and inferences made by Prosecutor Gold!"

[Evidence: The mall’s surveillance video has been added to the record.]

【Witness: Mall employee Hai Senlin Mei has been added to the record.】

Chapter 12: Kogoro Mori's Testimony

【Remember this site’s domain name】

(Reversal, all previous conclusions?)

(Unless the evidence provided by Eri Kisaki is that Kototo Ichiro was not present at the time of the crime, this is impossible.)

(Can the evidence she found prove this?)

Xiang Yuanguang's expression changed when he looked at the new evidence that appeared in the attribute panel.

What is the surveillance video of a shopping mall?

Could it be that Koto Ichirō appears in the mall’s surveillance video?

And it’s different from the time of death of the deceased in the autopsy report?

[Hmm... This is different from the reasoning I've come across. ]

Conan's voice sounded in Yuan Guang's ears.

Sitting in front of the TV, he stroked his chin and thought.

As a detective, Conan only needs to find the evidence and methods of the crime at the crime scene.

His reasoning is limited to this scope.

However, lawyers and prosecutors in court are different.

Their reasoning leads to diametrically opposed conclusions, and each has its own evidence.

Conan's usual method of reasoning doesn't completely work.

[Xiang Yuan, Auntie Hibiki Eri is indeed a very good lawyer. ]

Do you think you can win?

(Can I win? I don’t want to ask about this.)

Xiang Yuanguang's eyes hidden behind the instrument were narrowed.

During the test with the examination instruments, all indicators of Eri Kisaki were very normal.

This shows that Kisaki Eri was not bluffing or anything like that.

She really believed that the evidence she was going to present next could reverse the current situation.

"As long as I stand on the side of [the truth], I will never lose."

"Ms. Hibiki Eri, how about you dispel other doubts before you bring in your new witness?"

"For example... the bloodstains on Kototo Ichiro's cuffs!"

The bloodstains on Kotoichirō’s cuffs?

There was a hint of doubt in Kisaki Eri's expression.

What? There is such evidence? How come she didn't know?

Based on the information I learned from Kogoro Mori when I went to the Mori Office before.

(Wait... Could it be that Kogoro Mouri himself doesn't even remember this?)

(The surveillance video didn’t directly capture Kototo Ichiro hiding the murder weapon, but instead captured his cuffs!?)

If it weren't for the face of the court, Kisaki Eri would have wanted to find Kogoro Mori and have another big fight with him.

You can ignore this kind of information? You really don't want me to win!

"There are bloodstains on the defendant's cuffs? Is that true? Do you have any witnesses?"

The rookie next to him has already shouted loudly.

The situation suddenly turned to an unfavorable direction.

What Genkou was waiting for was these words from Nakano Sosuke.

"Of course, as I said, the facts of the case are well established."

"This is my first cup of coffee. By the time I finish my third cup, I will have closed the case!"

"Judge, I request the witness -- Kogoro Mori to testify!"

What, what! ?

Is there really a witness? And is it the famous detective Maori Kogoro?

Nakano Souki didn't even dare to look at the expression of his teacher Kisaki Eri next to him.

He knew that he had gotten into big trouble this time, but he could have gotten away with it.

But if a new witness comes forward, then we must debate the witness' words.

The presiding judge standing on the podium nodded.

"Well, it is indeed necessary to call witnesses to the stage at this time."

"Then please call the defense witnesses later."

"Now, please allow the witness, Mr. Maori Kogoro, to testify."

Officer Takagi Wataru, who was originally standing in the witness seat, breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked out of the door of the third courtroom as if he had been pardoned, and even said hello to Maori Kogoro who walked in confidently.

"Detective Maori, you have to be careful, Kisaki Eri... That lawyer and her assistant are so scary."

"They actually took advantage of the loopholes in the testimony to [attack]... Wow, this is really a bad experience."

Kogoro Mouri put his hands in his pockets. He understood this better than anyone else.

After all, he and Kisaki Eri were husband and wife before.

They knew each other very well, and he had long anticipated Kisaki Eri's style of doing things.

(Okay, I'll make a cool entrance like this, and then use my impeccable testimony to reveal the truth.)

(Yeah, that’s it. I want everyone in the audience to shout out “Wow, Detective Mori is so cool” and so on, so that Kisaki Eri can see how awesome I am!)

He pushed open the door of the Third Courtroom in an unusually handsome manner.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the gallery, the defense, the prosecution, and the presiding judge.
