People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 187 Old Lawyer

—————May 4th, 8:30 p.m.——————

—————Shikoku area, hotel room————————

"It's really hard to deal with... How can the police in these four countries act so irrationally?"

The uncle carrying a worn-out backpack frowned as he drank beer from a paper cup.

Then he picked up a piece of dried squid, tore off a piece, and put it in his mouth to chew.

His name was Zenzo Oonuki, a famous lawyer in the Honichidai area.

Although his reputation is not as prominent as that of Kumimoto (or not as notorious as his).

However, he is also well-known in various legal businesses, so he is often invited to help in the Shikoku region.

This is also the reason why Yoshizo Ohkuni would let others handle a lawsuit like the right of illumination, which is almost certain to win.

He believes that people in Shikoku need more help than the neighborhood committee in the Honichidai area.

"Ms. Yueshui, are you sure your friend is really innocent?"

"How dare the police from these four countries arrest and detain people without evidence? And they plan to try them directly at another day?"

"This is ridiculous. Aren't they worried that someone might appeal?"

Oonuki Zenzo tore off another piece of dried squid, his brows furrowed as far as they could go.

Just as he just said, the police from the four countries were acting too unreasonable.

Not only did they arrest people without evidence, they even did not allow him, the defense lawyer, to enter the police station to meet with the defendant.

The reason is that the client of Onuki Zenzo is not the suspect in this case, Mizuguchi Kana...

Is that even necessary? If you don't allow Kana Mizuguchi to contact the outside world, how can she hire a defense lawyer?

"This kind of thing is really troublesome... Lawyer Ohnuki, are you sure?"

Detective Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who had left Tokyo and arrived in Shikoku a few days ago, was leaning against the wall.

Her headphones were casually hung around her neck and she looked like she had no intention of listening to music at all.

His face no longer had the ease and confidence it had before, because this matter was too difficult and bizarre.

The eldest daughter of Lavender Villa died for no reason in a room that was equivalent to a secret room.

Then, after the Shikoku police investigated the scene, they directly announced that her good friend Kana Mizuguchi was arrested as a suspect.

Although, after Mizuguchi Kana called, Koshimizu Nanatsuki rushed to Shikoku as soon as possible, but in the end, she could not help at all————

"The police here refused to allow us to enter the crime scene to investigate and collect evidence. Their style is completely different from that of the police in Tokyo."

"…Don't panic too much."

Yoshizo Oonuki put the dried squid into his mouth and chewed it, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The anger in my heart was growing uncontrollably.

"Although I am not familiar with the police style in Shikoku, I know that there are only so many methods they usually use."

"The fact that they are still investigating and collecting evidence now means that the police have not yet found the evidence that the prosecutor believes is incriminating."

"Not releasing the suspect and not allowing him to talk to the outside world is to keep him awake and force him to confess."

"If things go as expected, they should be planning to drag it out until Kana Mizuguchi hires a lawyer."

"In the end, the local authorities directly assigned lawyers to defend the case, and most of the lawyers assigned were the same as the prosecutors."

He swallowed the dried squid in his mouth and drank the beer in the paper cup.

Then, he crumpled the paper cup into a ball with a solemn expression.

"The local ace prosecutor should be Guiyue Liuyun, the undefeated prosecutor so far."

"To achieve a 100% victory, a 99% chance, is to use other means."

"And the person who is suspected to be involved in solving this case is a detective named Tokitsu Junya."

"Haha, this country's judicial system is about to be ruined. As long as detectives are involved in solving cases, almost no lawyer will take the initiative to defend the criminal suspect, because that is tantamount to ruining his own legal career—" The old lawyer turned his head to look at Nanatsuki Koshimizu and said unhappily.

"You should be aware of this, Ms. Koshimizu. I remember you claimed that you were also a high school detective."

"The murderer found by the detective is most likely guilty, and this strange phenomenon finally occurred."

(…Xiang Yuan also told me about this.)
(I just never thought that the consequences of being a detective would be so serious.)
If you don't see these things with your own eyes, you will never know the details.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu hid her eyes behind dim sunglasses and actually closed them.

Various things about her good friend Kana Mizuguchi and her specific personality flashed through her mind.

There is no way Mizuguchi Kana would do such a thing, absolutely not.

Yue Shui tapped gently on the outer shell of his earphones.

(If Xiang Yuan was here, there should be a way to help Mizuguchi Kana get rid of the crime.)
(However, he was seriously injured in the Silver Star train accident...)
(Unless it is absolutely necessary...it is best not to ask him for help.)
"So, Lawyer Ohnuki, is there any way to help Mizuguchi Kana get out of this crime?"

The young detective pondered for a moment, and she remembered another lawyer she had met at Honchidai.

Kensuke Kumimon, an undefeated lawyer with a completely different style from Genmi Mukai.

The opponent's method is very simple, that is -

"Public opinion, can we use public opinion to make the police of the four countries relax their statements?"

Oonuki Zenzo was surprised by Koshimizu Nanatsuki's words.

He turned to look at Koshimizu Nanatsuki, narrowed his eyes, and said in surprise.

"Little girl, I didn't expect you to know how lawyers handle lawsuits."

"Yes, that's exactly what I want to say. If we want to resolve this dilemma, we must rely on public opinion."

"At the very least, we need to get Mizuguchi Kana's letter of authorization."

"Otherwise, we won't even be qualified to stand in the courtroom and compete face to face with Gui Yue Liu Yun."

The old lawyer stood up, revealing the lawyer's medal fastened on his collar.

Unlike Xiang Yuanguang's brand new lawyer's medal, Oonuki Zenzo's lawyer's medal looks shabby.

The gold paint on it has fallen off, and it can be seen that it has accompanied the old lawyer through many romantic experiences.

"Don't worry, little girl, I will take care of this matter."

"Although Gui Yue Liu Yun is a veteran prosecutor, my level in the legal profession is also obvious to all."

"As long as everything goes according to my plan, we may even be able to avoid the possibility of a confrontation in the Inquisition!"

Yoshizo Onuki stuffed the information back into his bag, pushed open the door of the hotel, and was about to leave.

Then I heard Koshimizu Nanatsuki's somewhat puzzled voice.

"Lawyer Ohkuni, I have a friend who told me -"

"As a lawyer, you must defend your client based on your complete trust in his or her innocence."

"Don't you need to know more about Miss Mizuguchi's situation?"

After a pause, the old lawyer shook his head.

"No, I just need to know that what the police did was against justice."

"I will do everything I can to help her get a not guilty verdict."

pat.

The door of the hotel was closed.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki sighed and looked at the moonlight outside the window.

I hope everything can go smoothly as Lawyer Ohkuni said.
