People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 159: Reversal of the Express, the Silver Star on the road to destruction (10)

"From now on, I, Habri Libnand, declare."

"The Silver Star has been captured by me!"

This statement seems very elegant, and this guy who was originally a death row prisoner but appeared here also looks like a villain.

But if we combine the situation of the Silver Star and Libnand's identity.

It makes people feel that the situation is particularly difficult.

Since Libnand was the sole owner of the Silver Star, how could he possibly take over his own things?
"How come, Mr. Liebnand, weren't you sentenced to death in the United States a year ago?"

exclaimed a guest in the restaurant, obviously confused as to why Liebnand was still alive.

In the eyes of Xiang Yuanguang, who already knew something, the answer was already very obvious.

He spoke up and explained on behalf of Libnand.

"I think it's because Mr. Liebnand has been extradited to Japan."

"Although the United States court has sentenced Mr. Liebnand to death, the specific method of his punishment remains unclear."

"We still have to wait for the relevant arrangements from Japan, but I think the result of the death penalty will not change."

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

The reason is self-evident. How could a son change the verdict of his own father?

Even if Liebnant was extradited back to Japan, the only difference would be whether he died sooner or later, so it is not surprising that he escaped from prison.

"I noticed before that Mr. Liebnand invited lawyers, prosecutors, and the presiding judge..."

"These three types of people, who could only be gathered together in the Inquisition, have gathered together on the Silver Star."

"I guess Mr. Liebnand might be going to conduct a [mock trial]."

"But I didn't expect this matter to become so big."

Snap, snap, snap, snap.

After listening to Xiang Yuanguang's words, Libnand kept clapping.

The prison escapee who escaped the death penalty smiled.

"Yes, this is exactly why I summoned the presiding judge, lawyers, and prosecutors to the Silver Star."

"A year ago, the U.S. Attorney's Office used unreasonable evidence and unfair means to force the charge of [murder] on me. I absolutely cannot accept this."

"Therefore, I will use the Silver Star train I created as the court for the second trial."

"Trial court? What does that mean?"

Uncle Maori was a little confused. Isn't this a restaurant?

I don't see how it looks like a court of justice. And...

"So what if you had a second trial?"

"If you are found not guilty here, will you be able to escape the death penalty?"

Kogoro Mouri's words were very sharp, and the flight attendants next to him frowned.

However, Habri Libnand was not angry about this, quite the opposite.

The smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by seriousness and earnestness.

“This is not a question of whether to impose the death penalty or not, but a question of [honor].”

"The Libnan family must not smear me, especially with such a false accusation!"

Liebnand walked to the restaurant counter and clapped his hands.

The flight attendant next to him immediately lowered the screen, and the emblem of the United Nations was clearly projected on the screen.

The counter is the main seat of the presiding judge, and the tables on both sides are the defense seats and prosecutor seats.

A summary court was thus formed.

The surveillance cameras on both sides of the courtroom curtain also began to flash green lights to indicate operation.

"The entire process of this trial will be published directly on the Internet, and whether I am truly guilty will be determined based on this."

"Besides, on this moving Silver Star, I will accept the result, whether it's guilty or not guilty."

Libnand glanced at the people present and narrowed his eyes.

"Therefore, please ask all irrelevant people to leave the courtroom." "The prosecutors Yusaburo and Kuma Sukawa who are not in the courtroom at the moment."

"And lawyer Eri Kisaki, I will send someone to invite them over."

(Prosecutor Kuma Sukawa? He's here too? How come I didn't know about this?)

(Didn’t this guy tell me he was coming to the Silver Star?)

Xiang Yuanguang was a little surprised, but didn't say much in the end.

He was not an invited lawyer, so he was also among those leaving the courtroom.

In fact, this is even more beneficial to Xiang Yuanguang.

After all, the corridor is narrow and there are only three or five people patrolling at a time.

It would be easy to resolve the situation by force, but it is difficult to do so in an open space like a restaurant.

After all, there is a saying that goes, "A gun is fast three steps away, and it is both accurate and fast within three steps."

Unless necessary, Xiang Yuanguang didn't want to fight with a dozen people armed with submachine guns in such an environment.

But just when the hedgehog-headed lawyer was about to turn around and leave, he heard Libnand's voice.

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, although I didn't invite you, I have heard of your deeds."

"Please stay and defend me. I will pay you a large sum of commission afterwards."

"...?"

Xiang Yuanguang narrowed his eyes. The court, which is completely under your control, is still trying the market.

You don't want to replicate the process of [locking everyone in a big room and trying them multiple times until they are found not guilty], do you?

If they hadn't fallen out now and the submachine gun fire would have hurt innocent people, he would have fought with this guy right now.

The hedgehog-headed lawyer stared at Libnand, and the dangerous aura instantly startled Libnand.

Perhaps, the recent news headlines about "Dragon of Beika Town" are not just hype.

"Okay, but I have requirements."

The hedgehog-head snapped his fingers, then flipped his hand and pointed at Libnand.

"First, I like to drink coffee and think during the trial. Please prepare some coffee for me."

"Second, I demand that you absolutely ensure the safety of my friend's life."

"Third, there was a little kid in the restaurant named Edogawa Conan, who got lost because of the power outage. I want to ask Detective Maori to go look for him. If you're worried, you can ask Maori Ran to go."

"I think a powerless high school girl is more harmless than a retired detective uncle."

"Finally, I want all the information on this case, all the information that is favorable or unfavorable to you. You should know that if my client is guilty, I will send my client away without hesitation."

In Liebnand's view, these demands are quite reasonable.

Libnand nodded without hesitation.

"That's natural. I am innocent, so lawyer Xiang Yuan can defend me with confidence."

"Regina will deliver the information here in a while, and you can look through it."

"And Ms. Mao Lilan can go directly to find that little kid. I will also send someone to help."

"Finally, I swear in the name of Libnan to ensure the safety of all passengers on this train."

Having said this, Xiang Yuanguang had nothing more to say.

He nodded calmly and simply sat back in his previous seat.

As for Ryosuke Arita and others, they were sent out directly.

Only the celebrities from the United States and the young prosecutor remained in the restaurant.

Feeling this extremely dangerous scene, Gui Yueying became a little nervous. She approached Xiang Yuanguang and asked quietly.

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, what do you think of this case?"

He shifted his gaze from Yuan Guang to the face of the young prosecutor next to him, and then spoke bluntly.

"I'm just sitting there watching. What can I do? We are opponents in this trial. Don't try to trick me."

(Although I don’t know anything.)
