People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 103 Reversal of Illumination (3)

The presiding judge looked like he had thick hair, unlike the bald old presiding judge of the Tokyo Tribunal.

In Xiang Yuanguang's opinion, it just shows lack of experience.

(Uh, the experienced judge is either bald or has a bald head...)
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin, looking like he was thinking, but actually he was in a daze.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

The presiding judge banged the gavel, his eyes fixed on Xiang Yuanguang.

Although he didn't know why, he felt that Xiang Yuanguang seemed to be thinking about something very rude.

He shook his head and then spoke.

"Excuse me, has Prosecutor Sugiura completed his preparations?"

On the other side, Prosecutor Sugiura, who was sweating profusely but trying to remain calm, nodded.

He spoke with some stammering.

"The prosecutors have completed their preparations."

The presiding judge's gaze lingered for a moment, and he felt that the prosecutor seemed very nervous.

But think about it, after all, the opponents are old legends and new legends in the legal profession.

If this wasn't a courtroom and he was going to conduct a trial, he would probably have found Xiang Yuanguang to ask for his signature.

That staggered trial was a landmark trial case for this pilot system.

"Ahem, please don't be too nervous, Prosecutor Sugiura. You are just facing two legendary lawyers."

"That prosecutor Gold from the Tokyo Tribunal defeated the legendary lawyer Eri Kisaki in her first appearance in court."

"As a veteran who has appeared in court many times, you must have confidence in yourself, Prosecutor Sugiura."

The presiding judge comforted Prosecutor Sugiura's young heart.

Then, with the excitement of meeting the legendary poor lawyer.

He looked at the two legendary lawyers at the defense table and asked.

"Excuse me, is the defense ready?"

"Defense, ready——"

Genkou and Kumimon said in unison.

Then, they looked at each other fiercely and looked away.

Dai Machiko next to her felt helpless and was about to persuade Kumimon.

But I found that Nanatsuki Koshimizu over there was watching the fun and didn't mind making trouble. She put on headphones and started swaying to the rhythm.

(Ah, are all the legal assistants of legendary lawyers... very eccentric people?)

Dai Machiko blinked.

"Ah, oh, then, let me begin the trial."

The presiding judge noticed that the two legendary lawyers seemed to be having some problems getting along.

But this is normal. After all, they are all leaders in the industry and colleagues are enemies.

It's nowhere like the profession of presiding judge, a stable job in the courtroom with absolutely no competition!

"Ahem, then, please allow Prosecutor Sugiura to explain the circumstances of this case."

The presiding judge coughed twice and spoke to the prosecutor's seat.

"Ah, oh, yes, I will explain the facts of this case."

Prosecutor Sugiura woke up as if from a dream. He took out tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

I thought about the fact that I had a lot of information that was exclusive to the police and that these lawyers didn't have.

For a moment, I became somewhat confident again.

Swish.

Prosecutor Sugiura stood up, picked up the court records in his hand, and began to talk about the case. "This case is about the murder of Shimazu President Shimazu Zangyuan."

"The first sighting of the deceased was in the office on the top floor of Shimadzu Real Estate Co., Ltd."

"According to the on-site criminal police's detection, the first witness location was determined to be the deceased's death location."

"The cause of death was a blunt object hitting the head, killing him instantly and leaving him no time to react."

“Here, I present the deceased’s autopsy report as evidence.”

Hearing this, the presiding judge nodded and knocked with his gavel.

Then, he spoke seriously.

"This court agrees that the prosecution may submit new evidence."

(The exhibit [Shimazu Zangyuan's autopsy report] has been added to the court record.)
Afterwards, Prosecutor Sugiura shook the court records in his hand and seemed to have regained some of his confidence as a prosecutor.

"Based on the evidence at the scene and the testimony of witnesses, the prosecution can conclude that the murderer who killed the deceased..."

"They are the two current suspects, Mr. Yamada Isamu and Mr. Kaga Ranmaru!"

"The reason is very simple——————"

Prosecutor Sugiura held up the court records in his hand and presented the decisive evidence.

"The evidence is in this [surveillance record]!"

Present——————the evidence [Surveillance records of the top floor corridor of Shimadzu Corporation]!
As soon as this piece of evidence was produced, Prosecutor Sugiura couldn't suppress his smile.

At this moment, a look of shock appeared on the presiding judge's face.

The two defendants even screamed in surprise.

"What's going on? This is impossible! How can the surveillance records prove that we killed someone?"

Even the corner of Kumimon's mouth twitched at the defense table.

This, this kind of evidence? Fortunately, it's not the surveillance camera in the office.

If it's just the surveillance records in the corridor, there's still a way to get a call, but if it's the surveillance records in the office, then it's all over.

No matter how powerful Gu Meimen's mouth is, and how well he can confuse right and wrong, he cannot erase the real physical evidence!
(Surveillance records... Is this the police's exclusive evidence after we were kicked out by Inspector Shirai?)

Xiang Yuanguang's eyes were a little solemn. He took out a cup of coffee from somewhere and took a sip.

(However, I have confirmed with my heart lock that Yamada Isamu definitely did not kill anyone.)
(Then, the [decisive] evidence presented by the prosecutor must have flaws.)
(Now I must keep calm, otherwise, I will be defeated from the beginning.)
The defense bench was already in an uproar.

There was a glimmer of surprise in Conan's eyes, and he recalled that there was indeed surveillance in the corridor.

But why can the surveillance records prove that the murderers in this case are Yamada Isamu and Kaga Ranmaru?
That was just the surveillance footage of the hallway, wasn't it? Even if it did capture Yamada Isamu and Kaga Ranmaru entering the office... that would only prove that they were the last to enter the office, not that they had committed murder.

But Prosecutor Sugiura was so confident. Could it be that there was something special in this surveillance record?
Boom, boom, boom, boom.

The presiding judge banged his gavel repeatedly and ordered.

"Okay, this court will accept the evidence presented by the prosecutor."

"Now, please use the projector... to play the footage from the surveillance video."

"Or, take out a photo of a certain frame in the surveillance record!"

"I think it's a bit too early to look at the surveillance footage now."

Prosecutor Sugiura looked at the fake smile on Kumimon's face and the coffee in front of him.

He couldn't believe it himself that he had briefly suppressed two legendary lawyers in his defense.

However, it is not enough to do it now, he needs to continue at full speed.

Prosecutor Sugiura, with his thick hair, spoke in high spirits.

"Your Honor, I request that the detective in charge of this case..."

"The witness [Kengo Shirai] is here to testify on this!"

　There will be another update later, and there will be ten updates in total today, as I said.
