People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 117 Reversal of Illumination (17)

Uncle Maori touched the back of his head, feeling a little annoyed.

Although it seems to be the case from what Kumimon said, is it really true?

He can't remember clearly either.

"Attorney Kumimon, enough is enough."

Xiang Yuanguang's voice came from the defense seat, and immediately made Kumemon's eyes widen.

Made, you're not a member of the defense team? You interrupted my spell?

Are you an undercover human rights lawyer sent by the opposing prosecutor?

"If you can't remember, then you can't remember. Induced statements are not necessarily true."

"Whose side are you on? If you were to ask what truth you're pursuing,

Finally, Gu Meimen couldn't hold it anymore. He quickly walked to the defense seat and slammed his hands on the table.

He stared at the hedgehog-headed lawyer in front of him and spoke bluntly.

"——Then I suggest you go back to the Law School and start over as a freshman."

"What do you think lawyers are? Gods who can see all the truth and know who is guilty and who is not?"

"You are a lawyer who came out of Shonen Jump. You should ask the Tokyo Bar Association what they think about not having your lawyer's medal revoked. If it were me, I would have revoked your lawyer's medal long ago!"

Bullet, loading.

The next moment, Xiang Yuanguang slammed the table and stood up.

"A pound of pears! In my eyes, lawyers are certainly not gods! But they are not people who do things for money without knowing right from wrong!"

"What I pursue is not guilt or innocence, but the truth, the reality behind the case!"

A strong wind whistled out as Xiang Yuanguang stood up.

The originally aggressive Gu Meimen was blown back by the strong wind and could not stand steadily.

(Current BGM: Pursuit~Chasingいつめられて／バリエーション)
At this moment, Hedgehog Head finally regained the high ground of BGM.

Xiang Yuanguang pointed his hand in the air at the retreating Gu Meimen and said bluntly.

"Don't forget the oath you recited when you received the lawyer's medal!"

“I will always remember that practicing law is first and foremost my profession, and I will always prioritize the meaning of making a living through practicing law over the meaning of my profession.”

At this moment, the courtroom has completely become the scene of a dispute between two lawyers.

Prosecutor Sugiura, who was originally the prosecutor, no longer had a say in the case.

This is the fair platform that decides right and wrong, guilt and innocence.

Rather than arguing about the merits of the case, lawyers are arguing about each other's principles as lawyers.

"Um, please, please wait a moment, I was there at the time."

Feeling the conflicting low-pressure atmosphere in front of her, Mao Lilan raised her hand cautiously.

"Ok?"

Kumimon and Genmitsu turned their heads at the same time to look at Mao Lilan in the audience.

Mao Lilan seemed a little nervous, but she still spoke.

"I remember... it was the 12th floor. This was the starting floor displayed by the elevator at that time."

The twelfth floor... So, that's the top floor of Shimadzu Corporation?
A smile appeared on Gu Meimen's lips, he recognized the identity of Mao Lilan.

Because this high school girl is the daughter of Kogoro Mori, a witness in the current trial.

In other words, Mao Lilan's testimony also has legal rights.

Although I can't stand at the witness stand like Kogoro Mori during the interrogation phase, this is enough.

"No matter what you advocate or what you think, the outcome is already determined."

"You've run out of things to say, Sonic the Hedgehog?"

Like a victorious rooster, Gu Meimen turned around triumphantly and looked at Sanyuan Shunji.

Then, he spoke. "The witness' daughter, Mao Lilan, was also on the first floor of Shimadzu Company at the time, working with Detective Mao Li."

"Therefore, Mao Lilan's testimony can also be considered valid——————You are on the first floor of the twelfth floor."

"That is to say, like Yamada Isamu and Kaga Ranmaru, you are also a suspect of a crime!"

Sanyuan Shunji's body began to tremble, and the point he wanted to avoid the most was finally brought up.

At that time, he was too panicked because of the appearance of Yamada Isamu and Kaga Ranmaru.

There was no time to pay attention to these things... I just answered the phone and got into the elevator.

I didn't expect that something went wrong here?

"You were on the twelfth floor at the time of the incident. Yamada Isamu and Kaga Ranmaru both saw you standing outside the office at the time."

"Moreover, they also pointed out that you were holding something similar to [a document] in your hand at the time!"

"In the recent news headlines, besides you shorting the company's cash flow, there is also the fact that you stole the company's confidential documents!"

"It's hard for me not to suspect that you were discovered stealing documents from the office, and then you killed Mr. Shimazu Zangyuan directly, and then used your identity as the secretary of the president of your company to modify the surveillance records!"

Kumimon’s proposal at this moment can almost be said to be perfect——————

If Xiang Yuanguang didn’t know that the deceased had no signs of a fight!
At this moment, the whole audience was in an uproar. If we follow Gu Meimen's logic, then the truth has been determined.

Whether it is the motive, the time of the crime, or the suspicion in the surveillance records.

No matter how you look at it, Sanyuan Shunji is the murderer of Shimazu Zangyuan!

"This, this is truly an astonishing assumption and inference. I want to applaud you!"

The middle-aged presiding judge said in amazement.

"As for whether the documents exist, you can find out by questioning our witness, Kogoro Mori."

"May I ask if Shimazu Zangyuan had the [document] at that time?"

Kumimon looked at Maori Kogoro, and this time Maori Kogoro did not hesitate.

"I saw that Secretary Sanyuan did have some documents in his hand, but I thought he was in the middle of his work and came down temporarily..."

"So, is there any need to explain the truth? It's just as I inferred!"

The undefeated ace lawyer slammed his hands on the testimony stand and stared at Sanyuan Shunji in front of him.

"Mr. Sanyuan, I have to say that your modification of the surveillance records was a brilliant move."

"But you forgot that there are other witnesses who still have conscience in this case!"

"If it were you, you could kill President Shimazu first, hide the murder weapon, return to the office to take away the confidential documents, and then modify the surveillance records to put all the suspicion on Yamada Isamu and Kaga Ranmaru."

"Judge, it's time to make the verdict, right? No matter what, Yamada Isamu and Kaga Ranmaru are innocent!"

"Whether it's the motive, the timing, the method, or the murder weapon, none of them meet the requirements of the murderer in this case!"

Prosecutor Sugiura at the prosecutor's table opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.

His level is just this level, he can't play in high-end games at all.

The presiding judge was also persuaded, and from this perspective, the final benchmark for this case can indeed be set in this way.

"That's right. According to what Attorney Gu Meimen said, the murderer in this court should be Sanyuan Shunji."

"Well, now, this court will issue the final decision——"

call out.

Something is flowing.

Rumble!
The weak flow turned into a strong wind that swept across the entire venue, shaking it.

"A pound of pears! The truth of this case has not yet been uncovered, and we cannot be sure that Sanyuan Shunzhi is the murderer!"

Xiang Yuanguang slammed the table with both hands, and several cracks appeared on the table in an instant!
He pointed at the presiding judge without hesitation.

"Here, the defense presents a new [suspect]!"
