People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 2: Kogoro Mori's Reasoning
Oh, Edogawa Conan, I thought it was something else... Edogawa Conan?

Xiang Yuanguang, who had been full of confidence and high spirits just now, suddenly froze at this moment.

He looked up and down in disbelief.

Blue suit, red bow tie, elementary school student, plus a watch and sneakers.

This guy really seems to be the Elementary School Student Edogawa Conan, the God of Death?

"Uh, Edogawa Conan...?"

Xiang Yuanguang understood why Conan had five heart locks on his body.

The reason is that Conan hid his identity as "Kudo Shinichi" and used "Edogawa Conan" as his self-proclaimed name. This is one of the deepest secrets in Conan's heart. If it is exposed, it may endanger his life, so it has come to such an exaggerated point of having five heart locks.

But the problem is that the reason why Xiang Yuanguang dared to say that he would solve the case was because he had two abilities, [Heart Lock] and [Speech Bullet]. Now that the Heart Lock is used on Conan, it is impossible to solve the case by relying solely on the five speech bullets, right?

"…I have something I want to tell you. Can you talk to me alone?"

He squatted down, keeping himself on the same level as Edogawa Conan, and proposed an idea that surprised Conan.

(Huh? Why would this guy who claims to be a lawyer want to talk to me when he knows my name?)
(Is there something wrong with my name? Or is there some information that only I can know?)
Conan Edogawa was thinking quickly and had no idea that Genkou Xiang simply wanted to open the heart lock and then solve the case to gain reversal points.

While Genkou was communicating with Conan, Ran Mouri, who had gone to pick up the hat, also came back.

She put the hat back on Conan's head and asked curiously.

"I just heard that you are a lawyer. Why do you want to talk to Conan alone?"

After all, Xiang Yuanguang's performance was really abnormal.

He just said confidently that he would solve the case, but fell silent after looking at Conan. Now he says he wants to talk to elementary school students.

It’s hard to imagine this guy is okay…

"After all, the case happened downstairs from your house, and you are also suspected of committing a crime and murder!"

"Mr. Xiang Yuanguang, if I remember correctly, you don't have an alibi, right?"

Kogoro Mouri walked over from Inspector Megure, and his wise brain came to a new conclusion.

Standing in front of Xiang Yuanguang, protecting Mao Lilan and Conan behind him, he said with full confidence.

"If you were the one who committed the crime, all the doubts in the case can be solved! The murderer must be you!"

"What? Shocking statement, Maori brother!"

Inspector Megure ran to Kogoro Mouri in two or three steps, and looked at Genmi Mitsuki with some suspicion in his eyes.

After all, Kogoro Mouri is a great detective in Tokyo and has solved many cases.

There were always problems with the reasoning just now, and we couldn't identify the culprit. Now, we can suddenly complete the reasoning. It must be because the real murderer has appeared!
"Mr. Xiang Yuanguang, can you give your testimony on this!?"

Faced with the doubts, Xiang Yuanguang subconsciously took a step back.

Come to think of it, it seemed that he really had no witnesses who could prove his alibi.

But... Xiang Yuanguang has evidence that can reverse this situation, but now is not the time to use it. (According to Conan's law that there must be a real murderer among the suspects.)
(The real criminal must be among the three suspects at the scene if he wants to get away with it.)
(Then I, who have no alibi, would be the best person to blame.)
(Perhaps, I can use this to lure out the real culprit.)
When Kogoro Maori saw Genmitsu retreat guiltily, he became more determined in his decision.

He looked at Inspector Megure beside him, and Inspector Megure immediately understood.

"Takagi, we've found the criminal! We should catch him now..."

"A pound of pears (objection)! You say I am a criminal! Do you have any evidence? Innocent until proven guilty!"

He directly launched a verbal bullet at Genkou, pointed his finger at Kogoro Mori, and a strong wind blew.

He said righteously.

"Can you find my motive for murder? Are there any witnesses who can prove this? The crime scene was downstairs from my house. Did I kill him?"

Once the wind magic was activated, Inspector Megure's hat could hardly be held down.

He put his hand over his hat, feeling that something was wrong with this case.

Couldn't help but say.

"Brother Maori, please repeat your reasoning process again! Make him confess his guilt with conviction!"

Kogoro Mouri straightened his messy hair.

He took everyone to the crime scene and talked about the case.

A middle-aged man with a pale face was lying inside the blockade line. Part of his clothes were soaked with blood and he was completely silent.

"This is one of the witnesses in this case, Mr. Koto Ichiro, a friend of the deceased. According to his testimony, at 7:15 in the morning, he and the victim's friend agreed to go for a morning run, but he received a phone call on the way and had to leave temporarily. By the time they met at the agreed location, which was downstairs of Mr. Xiang Yuanguang's Xiang Yuan Wanneng Office, the victim was already dead."

When Kogoro Mori said this, the middle-aged man standing next to Officer Takagi raised his hand, indicating that he was Ichiro Kototo.

If it were Conan, he should be able to see information like Kototo Ichiro's physical condition, but Xiang Yuanguang could only see that this guy was a corporate slave.

Because of the heavy dark circles, my face looks a little pale.

"This person is the first witness of this case, Hamada Mahiro. He is a nearby resident who takes the 8 a.m. train to work every day. He left home at 7:30 a.m. and found the victim's body."

Changing the direction, Kogoro Mouri then introduced the young man in a suit and tie next to him, namely Mahiro Hamada.

As an early morning commuter, Hamada Mahiro was holding his mobile phone and explaining what he had encountered to the company. He was sweating profusely and did not care about Maori Kogoro's introduction. In Xiang Yuanguang's eyes, he was just an ordinary early morning commuter.

Not getting a response, Kogoro Mouri scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, then looked at the third young man who was dressed quite avant-garde and looked very rich.

"Then there was the person who reported the case, Mr. Hirosuke Arita. He received a letter from an unknown person and drove here to wait for the sender. Unexpectedly, he came across the victim's body, so he called the police and did not leave until the police arrived."

"From this, we can know that Mr. Koto Ichiro was not at the scene when the crime occurred. Mr. Hamada Mahiro and Mr. Arita Kousuke can prove that the other party is not a suspect. Therefore, the only suspect who can commit a crime on the scene is you, Mr. Xiang Yuanguang!"

Detective Maori pointed to Genkou again, and added with confidence.

"Moreover, the knife used to kill the suspect has not been found yet! If you were the one who committed the crime, wouldn't it be possible to hide the murder weapon in your office and commit the perfect crime? What do you think? My reasoning is flawless, right?"

(No, no, no, isn't this completely unrelated?)
Conan stood beside Maori Ran, shook his head slightly, and was speechless about Uncle Maori.

He always makes such nonsensical inferences. How will the mysterious lawyer Xiang Yuanguang respond to the questioning?
(Ah! Lawyer Xiang Yuanguang is sweating profusely! Well, we need to find evidence to prove another crime before Lawyer Xiang Yuanguang is defeated!)
