People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 176: Reversal of the Express, the Silver Star on the road to destruction (27)

At this moment, no matter whether it is Habri Libnand.

Or the presiding judge, or other witnesses.

Even the murderer, Yusaburo Saito, and Yuanguang Xiang, who proposed this idea, were filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Although, Kuma Sukawa really wanted to ask, [What surprised you about what you said? ]

But due to his disguise, he could only maintain an awkward but polite smile.

At this time, the best thing is to say nothing, as the more you say, the more mistakes you make.

"You, what did you say? Xiang Yuanguang, what did you just say?"

"A year ago, the Chief of Staff of the United States General Staff commissioned me to plan and frame Liebnant and put him in prison."

"The person he introduced to me at that time was this top killer named Gail Krieger!"

"He has already admitted this on the train. Do you still want to say——"

"Gail Krieger from a year ago is not the same person as Gail Krieger from a year later!"

Even Caiya Yusaburo recovered from his broken defense.

Anyway, it is inevitable that he will have to take the blame for the other countries, so he might as well find out the situation clearly.

At least I'll understand better when I'm in prison.

The presiding judge looked at the defense seat with surprise and banged the gavel.

"Silence, silence, this court needs silence."

"What is the meaning of the claim just made by the defense? Please explain!"

Even lawyer Hibiki Eri was looking at Xiang Yuanguang in surprise at this moment.

From beginning to end, she never doubted Gail Krieger's identity.

Because she felt that this identity could not be false, but now Xiang Yuanguang raised this point.

Xiang Yuanguang has never been the kind of person who would make random claims or frequently interrupt the presiding judge in making his judgment.

If this hedgehog-haired lawyer said so, there must be a reason behind it.

(I initially thought that Attorney Xiang Yuan had wasted three years, but now it seems.)
(I'm afraid that during these three years, Attorney Xiang Yuan has been honing his observation skills.)
(It was so easy to find something that even I hadn’t discovered…)
(Although it seems unreliable, is it just to confuse others and retain strength?)

(How unfathomable...Lawyer Xiang Yuan...!)

Although that's what she said, if Hibiki Eri knew what Xiang Yuanguang was thinking at this moment.

She would immediately retract her previous opinion that Xiang Yuanguang was unfathomable.

Because, at this moment, Xiang Yuanguang was only filled with doubts.

You can tell from his sweaty expression that he is completely at a loss.

"Senior Wright, what do you mean? Could it be that the identity of the murdered Gail Krieger was fake?"

"How do you know that? We haven't even met Gale Krieger, have we?"

"It's really confusing to hear you say something like this all of a sudden!"

"Haha, is that so? I thought you'd already noticed."

Phoenix showed an embarrassed expression and reached out to touch the back of his head with six spikes.

In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, Xiang Yuanguang just pretended to be a master without saying a word.

Little did he know that this guy was communicating with a top lawyer in another world.

"Notice... notice what? Naruhodō, no, Mr. Wright."

"What exactly do you want to tell me now?"

Xiang Yuanguang frowned, and at this time, the prickly lawyer finally stopped keeping the secret.

Phoenix stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Generally speaking, the physical fitness and fighting ability of prosecutors cannot be compared with that of professional killers."

"Right? At least if I use the killer in my memory as a reference, that's the case."

"But Prosecutor Tai said he killed Gail Krieger. Don't you think that's too easy?"

Too easy? Well, it certainly seems to be.

In the normal world, a professional killer might be stabbed to death if he were attacked suddenly.

But if it was someone from the world of science who was more or less supernatural, it seemed unlikely. Xiang Yuanguang's eyes fell on the clothes of Caiya Yusaburo, where there was only blood stains left by the explosion of his glasses.

This means that Gail Krieger, a professional killer, died instantly after being attacked by Yoshisaburo.

He couldn't even fight back - otherwise there would be blood on Caiya's body.

"I once saw a master who was good at [Disguise]. He could perfectly imitate the appearance and voice of others."

"It can even be said that one can perfectly simulate the personality of another person, to the point where one can't even tell their own personality apart."

"That guy's name, no, his code name is... [Ghost]."

Ghost? The final boss of Ace Attorney 5?

There was a hint of shock in Xiang Yuanguang's eyes, and he finally realized who Phoenix was suspecting now.

That person could be, no, could only be——————

"The ghost contacted me in the identity of someone else, in the image of a righteous detective named [Ban Hong San]."

"I was misled by him for a while and even fell into a logical dead end, but I finally found the key flaw."

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, what I want to tell you is that... there is someone like the ghost I know."

Phoenix continued to speak, however, at this time Xiang Yuanguang had already murmured.

"He assumed the image of the waiter [Gail Krieger] and used that image to kill people."

"In this way, even if he is sold out as an abandoned pawn, this person will not be punished by the law."

"And when the real waiter, Gail Krieger, discovered this, he not only didn't tell the truth."

"Instead, he used this as an excuse to defraud prosecutors of money many times."

"In the end, he was killed with a knife by the prosecutor who could no longer tolerate it, because he was not a real professional killer."

"So he died without any resistance under the sudden attack——"

The pupils of the tooth-cutting prosecutor contracted.

It wasn't until he pointed this out to Minamoto that he realized that killing Gale, a professional killer, seemed too easy.

It was so easy that he thought Gale was faking his death, and he even stabbed him twice more.

Boom, boom, boom.

The presiding judge banged the gavel and looked seriously at Xiang Yuanguang in the defense seat.

"So, does the defense have any evidence to prove their claim?"

The hedgehog-headed lawyer's face gradually darkened and he shook his head.

"The defense has no evidence to prove this, but the real Gail Krieger..."

"Right now, on the Silver Star train, and in this temporary courtroom."

"His purpose should be to complete the work that was not completed before - to deal with Mr. Liebnand."

Habri Libnand's eyes became serious.

"So, who is this person? Please, Lawyer Xiang Yuan, point him out."

Sighing to Yuan Guang, he turned his head and looked at the man who had hardly spoken during the trial.

He looked at the prosecutor Kuma Sukawa.

"That person is you, Mr. Kuma Sukawa."

"No, someone who pretends to be someone else... an imposter."

"Beautiful, powerful, wonderful——————"

Kuma Sukawa swept away his previous gloom and said with a smile.

"You are the best lawyer I have ever met, bar none."

"But the current situation is not as optimistic as you imagined?"

……what?
The BGM in Xiang Yuanguang's ear switched at this moment.

It is no longer the pursuit song of Ace Attorney, but——————

Detective Conan's theme song!
(Current BGM: "Detective Detective コナン" ~メインテーマ)

　I am running out of time, so I will post two chapters first. I will post the remaining three chapters as they are finished. I had a cold yesterday, so my thoughts are not very smooth. Sorry.
