People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 204 Reversal of Lavender (5)

Inspector Akazawa took a deep breath.

His gaze lingered for a moment on the black magician and Nanatsuki Koshimizu who was standing beside the black magician.

Then he patted his face to cheer himself up.

Only then did he begin his own testimony.

【————Testimony about the Lavender Villa case————】

[Testimony begins]

"The time of death of the deceased in this case was approximately between 3 and 4 p.m."

"The cause of death was hanging. One end of the noose was connected to the ceiling. The room was a closed room in a sense."

"The reason is that the windows of the room were locked from inside, and the same was true for the door."

"It is impossible to enter this secret room and kill someone without destroying the room."

"After investigation, the police determined that the only person in the villa who had time to commit the crime..."

"It's the defendant in this case, the only suspect, Kana Mizuguchi."

"After that, we arrested her."

[End of testimony]

Obviously, there are many things to ask about Inspector Akasawa Osamu's testimony.

However, Xiang Yuanguang doubted that these points that could be questioned or proved...

It was deliberately revealed by the other party under the instructions and arrangement of Guiyue Liuyun.

The purpose is to let him, as a defense lawyer, conduct questioning and testify...

Then, just like the old lawyer Zenzo Oonuki who lost his lawyer's medal before, he fell into the trap.

But even so... the poker at Xiang Yuanguang's fingertips was spinning quietly.

The red joker is, in some gameplays, the highest value card in the deck.

This means that the owner of the red joker card can crush all obstacles.

Xiang Yuanguang had no intention of avoiding Guiyue Liuyun's trap from the very beginning.

In such a dire situation, it is enough to just crush it with dignity.

It is difficult to read the expression under the black magician's mask.

However, Guiyue Liuyun knew that the other party probably understood his thoughts——————

There is a problem, a loophole in Inspector Akazawa's testimony.

That is, how was the secret room environment destroyed and why was Mizuguchi Kana the only one with the time to commit the crime.

(Hehe, point it out, and then I will use the evidence to send you off personally.)
(A mere magician dares to show off in front of me with his tattered lawyer's medal.)
(Now, I will give you this lawyer's medal, along with your terrible black outfit...)
(Throw it into the garbage dump, send it to the incinerator, and burn it up!)

Gui Yue Liu Yun, sitting in the prosecutor's seat, looked arrogant.

His knuckles were still tapping unconsciously against his upper arm.

After listening to Akasawa Osamu's testimony, the presiding judge nodded and then banged the gavel.

According to the general trial process, now is the time for the lawyer to ask questions.

But I don't know if this lawyer who seems to be a magician by profession knows this.

Then the presiding judge turned to the defense seat and asked.

"Well, Inspector Akazawa's testimony has concluded. May I ask if the defense attorney would like to conduct further questioning?"

"If you don't know what to ask, ask the paralegal next to you."

"This court remembers that she appeared in court with lawyer Yoshizo Okumi during the last trial."

You actually asked me to ask Koshimizu Nanatsuki for advice...?
How contemptuous this is, although...

Although I have not studied at the Judicial College, nor have I inherited the legal knowledge of the original owner.

Before traveling through time, I was an art student who loved painting and giving speeches.
But...even so, I know how to defend myself.

Xiang Yuanguang calmly pressed down his black magic hat.

Next to him, Nanatsuki Koshimizu tilted her head slightly and looked at him.

That look was like, "Do you need my advice now?" "No, I don't need to ask anyone for advice on how to defend myself."

"Your Excellency the Judge, please allow me to proceed to the interrogation phase now."

The black magician placed his hand gently under the brim of his hat.

Then, in the shocked eyes of everyone.

He pulled out a magic wand half a person's height from his hat and slammed it on the table.

"Let me take out the tool called the Truth from the evidence and complete the Great Magic of Reversal!"

(Current BGM: Xunwen~アレグロ2001)

Hearing the words of the black magician, the chief judge nodded.

"It seems that you are very confident about this. Then please let the defense lawyer start the [questioning] phase."

Standing at the testimony stand, Akasawa Osamu looked at the black magician quietly.

Without even having to think too much, he could guess what the black magician wanted to ask.

It's nothing more than how the maid entered the secret room and why she had time to commit the crime...

These questions have already been asked by Yoshizo Oonuki, so there is no need to answer them again.

"I want to [question] Detective Akasawa's second testimony [the cause of death was hanging, one end of the noose was connected to the ceiling, and the room was a closed room in some sense]..."

Supporting his body with his staff, the black magician leaned forward.

He snapped his fingers, and then said something unexpected.

(I-I didn’t ask about those things… but questioned this sentence…?)

A hint of surprise flashed across Inspector Akazawa's face.

Gui Yue Liu Yun, who was sitting in the prosecutor's seat, couldn't help but sneer.

He also snapped his fingers, pointed at the Black Magician, and shook his fingers gently.

It seems that he looks down upon black magicians.

"I thought you were going to question something, but you didn't expect it was this?"

"Haha, what's there to question? The deceased was hanged..."

"Do you need to ask more about this matter? Didn't you write the same thing in the news you asked the newspaper to publish?"

"The defense lawyer is just talking nonsense and stalling for time... Your Honor, it's time to punish him!"

The presiding judge sitting in the main seat couldn't help but nodded.

That’s right, is there any need to ask more questions about these obvious things?
He raised the hammer in his hand and was about to smash it down, but suddenly he felt a strong wind blowing!

"I cannot agree with this! This is fatally inconsistent with the perfection of magic!"

Xiang Yuanguang's magic wand slammed on the table of the defense seat.

There was a loud noise, and he reached out from his hat and pulled out a machine...

The blower, which looks quite compact, is placed on the table.

This seemingly pocket-sized blower can blow out strong winds that can make your hair fly!

Word bullet, launch!
"Do you need to ask more questions...? Of course I do. On what basis did Inspector Guiyue say that the deceased died by hanging?"

"Excuse me, have you produced any... [evidence] that can prove this?"

The Black Magician chuckled.

"Even if you show a [photo of the crime scene], the [disharmony] won't disappear."

"Because, the deceased may have been killed in some other way and then disguised as [death by hanging]."

"If the prosecutor wants to [deny] this... please present another [exhibit]..."

The magic wand pointed at Guiyue Liuyun.

Xiang Yuanguang told the name of the evidence without hesitation.

"[Autopsy report of the deceased]!"

　Wuhu, ended, took a break.
