People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 203 Reversal of Lavender (4)

At this moment, Akasawa Osamu was waiting in the lounge of the Third Courtroom.

Suddenly, I felt a chill on my back, as if something was targeting me.

(Uh, I guess it’s an illusion? How about after this trial, I go find a shrine…)
(Let’s pay our respects. That magician was really torturous yesterday.)
(My waist still hurts.)
Inspector Akazawa thought so and looked at Chinatsu Aoki beside him.

The female detective seemed to feel nothing and just flipped through the book in her hands with an expressionless face.

Uh, this book is one that Inspector Akazawa has absolutely no interest in reading.

The "Complete Book of Six Codes" is so thick that it can crush a person to death.

If you add rams and flails, you can even become a medieval warrior, right?
"What's wrong, Inspector Akazawa, what are you looking at?"

Chinatsu Aoki tilted her head expressionlessly and looked at the gorilla inspector next to her.

Inspector Akasawa laughed twice and touched the back of his head awkwardly.

"No, no, I'm just a little curious about what book Chiharu is reading."

"Haha, it turns out to be the Six Codes. I don't think I'll ever read a book like this in my lifetime."

"By the way, Xiao Qianxia, ​​why are you suddenly looking at this today?"

The expressionless petite female detective was silent for a moment.

After Akazawa Osamu looked away awkwardly, she spoke in a low voice.

"I just want to know how many years of imprisonment one will receive for perjury."

(How many years in prison will perjury be…? Why should I worry about such things?)
Akasawa Osamu's face was full of surprise, this shouldn't be the case.

After all, they are the confidants of Prosecutor Guiyue Liuyun.

By the time Prosecutor Guiyue becomes the director of the local procuratorate, they will not be able to be prosecuted for this.

"Inspector Akazawa, there is a saying in the neighboring country—"

"[The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked], which means that when the hunter shoots the cunning rabbit that is the target, it will be killed."

"His hounds would be considered useless and eventually cooked like rabbits."

"Prosecutor Guiyue's methods are a bit too cruel... I'm worried."

Aoki Chinatsu had no expression on her face, and even her tone of voice did not change.

However, as a long-time partner, Akasawa Osamu certainly knew about the change in Detective Aoki's mentality.

It is obvious that if Prosecutor Guiyue really becomes the Chief Prosecutor of Shikoku Region.

It is not impossible to get rid of these confidants who know too many secrets.

After all, Prosecutor Guiyue has a pretty good relationship with the local bosses.

Inspector Akazawa's eyes flickered.

He is able to become a superintendent in the Metropolitan Police Department in Shikoku, where the environment is far worse than that in Tokyo.

Of course, he cannot be the same as he appears to be, a reckless man who can only use his hands but not his brain.

It's just that he habitually thinks and acts according to his partner's ideas.

"…What you said makes sense. Just don't say it so bluntly."

"I'll prepare for this, don't worry, it'll be fine, finally."

Akazawa Shuhiro said slowly.

The petite criminal lady next to him nodded and remained silent.

The only sounds in the lounge were the turning of pages and silence.

Until the door creaked open——————

"Inspector Akazawa, the presiding judge asks you to come to the courtroom and explain the case as the criminal in charge."

Two bailiffs who looked neither nervous nor calm stood at the door, which made Akasawa Osamu look a little strange.

Really, being a bailiff is an easy job, and there's nothing bad about it.

Why do these two people have such strange expressions? Did the Ghost Moon prosecutor deduct their wages?

That must be because he failed to perform his duties in court. Haha, that's what happens to inexperienced bailiffs.

Inspector Akazawa shook his head, and he stood up. Detective Aoki beside him also stood up. "Okay, let's go. It would be better to solve this case as soon as possible."

"After all, I'm almost tired of this kind of life."

He said with a hint of meaning.

Tick, tick, tick.

The two inseparable criminal police officers set off together with the bailiff.

When they pushed open the door of the courtroom, Akasawa Osamu immediately realized.

Why do the two bailiffs look so tense?

If he were working as a bailiff in a courtroom, his expression would probably be similar.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is not right. Can a defense lawyer appear in court wearing a magician's uniform?"

"He's still wearing a black mask on his face. Is that really okay?!"

Akasawa Osamu slammed his hands on the testimony desk with a look of shock on his face.

Although the criminal lady next to him did not change her expression, her eyes...

One could also sense that she seemed quite surprised by this.

"Well, come to think of it, I am also a little puzzled by this."

"However, since the defense attorney thinks this is fine, then I also think it's not a big problem."

The presiding judge was quite open-minded about this. He shook his head and said.

"After all, the opponent is a trump card like Prosecutor Kigetsu Liuyun, and he wants to hide his emotions with a mask..."

"It's understandable. It's just a little eye-catching."

(If you want to see a magic trick, just say so, you old man. What bullshit?)

Gui Yue Liuyun, who was standing at the prosecutor's seat, turned his head, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the presiding judge.

Seeing this, the presiding judge coughed twice and got back to the topic.

"Let's not talk about this matter for now, Inspector Akazawa. Now, please explain the details of this case that you know..."

"By the way, why did Detective Aoki also come into the courtroom?"

"It seems that the only person summoned by this court is Inspector Akasawa?"

Chinatsu Aoki declined to comment on this.

She just silently took a step back and stood behind Inspector Akasawa.

And this gorilla-like police officer stood in front of Detective Aoki.

Facing the chief judge's question, Akasawa Osamu spoke without reservation.

"It's simple. Detective Aoki and I are old partners. If either of us is absent, mistakes may occur."

"You know, I'm a bit careless, so someone has to fill in for me."

"...Can you accept this explanation of why Detective Aoki is appearing in court?"

That's right, the chief judge nodded.

He has also worked in the Shikoku region for a long time and is familiar with Inspector Akasawa's situation.

However, the current defense lawyer does not seem to be from Shikoku, so I need to explain.

Otherwise it would be bad if this was caught later and reported all over the newspapers.

"Stop talking nonsense, Inspector Akazawa, and start your testimony."

Prosecutor Guiyue Liuyun, who was standing at the prosecutor's seat, snorted coldly.

He reached out and slapped the table again, then hugged his elbows and tapped his upper arms unconsciously with his knuckles.

"Let this jester who calls himself a black magician learn where the garbage belongs!"

The presiding judge nodded, banged the gavel, and then spoke.

"Okay, please ask Inspector Akazawa to testify about the circumstances of this case!"
