People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 198: Magic of Making Candy

lounge.

Compared to her appearance on the 5th, Mizuguchi Kana looked much more haggard.

The despair after hope is more terrifying than simple despair.

After all, she was just a girl who had just graduated from high school and had no work experience.

It is natural to feel confused and frightened after going through so many things in a row.

"Nanatsuki..."

The maid said softly.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was sitting next to Genmiko Mukai, responded immediately.

"Kaname, I'm here... The case has been sent back for retrial."

"This time, you will definitely be found not guilty and return safely!"

(Not guilty...really?)
Mizuguchi Kana raised her head. This was what Nanatsuki Koshimizu said when she invited the old lawyer to come.

And now this... this magician, seems less reliable than the old lawyer.

Previously in the trial court, she had also witnessed Guiyue Liuyun's litigation methods.

Such means are too cruel. If they continue, there will only be more...

Lawyers with a sense of justice may get hurt or lose their lawyer medals.

"I……"

"No need to talk, just write the letter of authorization first. I have already written the format."

He snapped his fingers and pulled out a scroll-like letter of request from his hat.

He handed the letter of authorization to the police officer on guard next to him and said with a smile.

"Please give this letter of entrustment to Miss Mizuguchi Kana in the other room on my behalf."

"By the way, could you please not peek at the contents?"

"Otherwise, I will ask you to cooperate with me to perform a [Great Magic]."

The guarding policeman next to him blinked and took the letter of authorization.

I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Excuse me, what is this magic trick?"

The black magician snapped his fingers and said easily.

"Of course it's [Magic Revival], do you want to give it a try, Mr. Policeman?"

"Eh! A big, big transformation? Forget it, haha."

The guarding policeman shuddered, although he didn't know how the magic was performed.

But I have a feeling that if I were invited to cooperate with this magic, I would probably not see the sun tomorrow...

This feeling, this magician seems to be very scary.

This action also made Kana Mizuguchi stunned.

I don't know why, but this magician lawyer in front of me seems very confident?
pat.

He snapped his fingers again and took out the record written by Koshimizu Nanatsuki from his hat.

This is the testimony that Yoshizo Oonuki obtained from Kana Mizuguchi in the interrogation room three days ago.

The old lawyer only wrote down the key words, but Nanatsuki Koshimizu next to him memorized all the content and wrote it down.

Maybe he thought it would be useful later? Or maybe he just wanted to use it for deduction?

Xiang Yuanguang didn’t know about this, he just needed to know that this would make it easier to ask.

"Come, Ms. Mizuguchi Kana, I want to [question] you now."

"Excuse me, are these testimonies... what you said to Attorney Yoshizo Oonuki three days ago?"

The black magician pasted the transcript on the transparent glass in front of him so that Kana Mizuguchi could identify it.

The guard detective who walked to the other side also placed paper and pen in front of Mizuguchi Kana.

"Ah... yes, this is the testimony I gave to Lawyer Oonuki three days ago."

"Excuse me, what do you want to ask?"

The maid quickly wrote her name on the letter of authorization.

After handing the power of attorney to the police on guard and asking the police on guard to pass it on.

She said a little uncomfortably.

"You can ask me directly and I will tell you everything..."

"Oh, that's it..."

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

The young detective next to her didn't even need to think about it.

She could guess what Xiang Yuanguang was going to say next.

"Wait……"

"Were you involved in killing Yamamoto Eri? In any form? Just tell me if you were involved or not."

As soon as the black magician opened his mouth, Mizuguchi Kana's face turned pale.

At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and her little face almost looked like it was about to cry.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu next to her shook her head with some concern. She knew that she was going to ask this to Genkou.

Ever since he asked Asai Narimi on Tsukikage Island, the first thing the spiky-haired guy asked was this. "I... I... I didn't..."

The maid cried and shook her head.

In the attribute panel within sight, the heart lock is displayed as [Active].

He nodded to Genkou. Since it was not in the process of starting up, it meant that Mizuguchi Kana was not lying.

Let's just assume that the circumstances of this case are the same as the original plot, with the premise that the deceased, Eri Yamamoto, committed suicide.

He put his hands against the glass and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, a candy fell on the table in front of Mizuguchi Kana.

The guard detective next to him immediately widened his eyes.

(Illusion? When? How was it done?)

"Let's wait until you are acquitted before shedding tears of joy."

The black magician's voice was calm, and those who heard it felt strangely peaceful.

"Excuse me, how many people were there in the villa on the day of the incident? Including the deceased, there were four people, right?"

"Is the actor from the nearby troupe, Hiroo Tsuchio, here? He often comes to the villa, right?"

"What kind of job does the owner of the villa have? Doesn't he come back often during normal times?"

"What was your relationship with the deceased like? Did you sense any abnormality in her mood recently?"

“Are you a little too eager…, Virgil?”

Nanatsuki Koshimizu asked quietly beside her.

After all, Kana Mizuguchi's mood has not yet adjusted.

"Eager? She is stronger than you think. Not everyone can withstand such cold violence."

Xiang Yuanguang glanced at the young detective next to him and shook his head.

"You still know too little about your good friend. Have you not seen him since you graduated from high school?"

(Hmm...it's true that we haven't met...)
Koshimizu Nanatsuki shook her head and was about to say something else when she heard her friend start to respond to the question.

"On the day of the incident, including the deceased, there were only four people in the villa..."

"Me, Mr. Yamamoto, Miss, Mr. Butler...there is no one else."

"Mr. Hammertail has a good relationship with the housekeeper... He often comes to the villa, and I sometimes see him in the middle of the night..."

"As for Mr. Yamamoto, I don't know his identity either... I just know that he seems to be very powerful..."

"I don't have a very good relationship with the young lady, although the housekeeper often asks me to chat with her..."

Mizuguchi Kana wiped her tears and spoke vaguely.

"But I was the one who got scolded almost all the time, because the eldest lady's temper changed a lot, sometimes she was gentle..."

"...sometimes he gets very irritable and even quarrels with the housekeeper about certain things..."

"When they're arguing, they'll let me go back, and the next day they'll be back to square one..."

"So, in my opinion, the young lady on the day of the incident was no different from usual..."

The black magician tapped his black mask lightly.

At this moment, he was thinking quickly, looking for answers based on the premise that the eldest lady committed suicide.

Since Mr. Yamamoto and the butler are both on Guiyue Liuyun's side, they must have common interests.

For the sake of the eldest lady's reputation? It's possible, but it doesn't seem to be tenable.

And Tokitsu Junya has already intervened in the case at this time. Is it because Tsuchio Hiroo took action in advance?
If someone had to take the blame, why was it Kana Mizuguchi instead of Hiroo Tsuchio?
(Did Guiyue Liuyun fail to find this out? Or was there some other reason? This is really troublesome...)
"Okay... I understand. Ms. Mizuguchi, please wait for the day when you are innocent."

pat.

He stretched out his hand to Yuan Guang and snapped his fingers, and instantly a pile of candies fell onto the maid's table.

"Well, although desserts should be consumed in moderation, life is already bitter, so we need to keep it somewhat sweet."

"Then, let's meet in the court tomorrow."

The black magician stood up and the policeman guarding him pointed at the pile of candy and was about to say something to the black magician.

But he saw the magician snap his fingers and then put a candy in his hand.

"Well, you have a role to play as well. Keep working hard in your future endeavors."

"Let's go, cross the water, and go to the crime scene to see what's going on."

The guarding policeman stared blankly at the candy in his hand, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Uh...should he say thank you...at this time?

Looking at the Black Magician and Nanatsuki Koshimizu walking away, I don't know why.

Mizuguchi Kana's heart inexplicably calmed down, as if everything would be solved.

(Mr. mysterious magician... How did Nanatsuki know such a lawyer...?)

She slowly peeled off the candy wrapper of a piece of fruit candy and then ate it.

"Very sweet... Thank you, Mr. Magician."

The maid said silently.

The guard policeman nearby took out a plastic bag from somewhere and handed it to the maid.

He raised his eyebrows, then spoke seriously.

"It's a bit much. I think it would be more convenient for you to pack it all up and take it away..."
