People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 210 Reversal of Lavender (11)

Show the evidence [the remains of the unburned medicine bottle]!
The moment this piece of evidence appeared in everyone's sight.

Whether it was Gui Yue Liu Yun at the prosecutor's seat or Kotani Renzo at the testimony stand.

At this moment, their pupils couldn't help but shrink, and a hint of shock flashed across their eyes, followed by uncertainty.

How is it possible? How could this magic lawyer dressed in black get this evidence?

Cold sweat began to seep out of Renzo Kotani's forehead.

From the moment the eldest lady died, he secretly vowed to protect the eldest lady's honor.

To this end, he did not hesitate to cooperate with the prosecutor and make testimony that was unfavorable to Kana Mizuguchi.

But what is going on in this situation?

Guiyue Liuyun clearly said that the police had taken away all the remains of the burned medicine bottles in the fireplace!

Where did the black magician Virgil find this unburned medicine bottle?
Here, Renzo Kaguya, who was at the testimony stand, was already sweating profusely.

Guiyue Liuyun on the other side also frowned, and he was also confused about this.

I had clearly already asked Inspector Akasawa to lead the team to collect all the remaining medicine bottles.

Where did the black magician Virgil find the medicine bottle? Was the original search not thorough?

This is understandable, but what is incomprehensible is why the black magician would take it out at this time?

Guiyue Liuyun's mind was already filled with doubts, and he had several suspects in his mind.

For no other reason, apart from his own confidants and witnesses, no one knew...

The deceased committed suicide after taking psychotropic drugs, which were burned by Jia Gu Lianzo.

Now the Black Magician took out the [remains of the medicine bottle that was not completely burned]...

Someone must have told him about this!
(There are only so many people who know about this. Who did it?)

(Akazawa Osamu? Aoki Chinatsu? Or is there another traitor?)

The change in Lao Deng's expression was also seen by Xiao Deng who was standing next to him.

Gui Yueying couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise on her face.

Her father had told her before that there was a piece of evidence that could perfectly explain the problems in the autopsy report of the deceased.

Could it be that the evidence my father was talking about is the medicine bottle that the black magician just took out...?
(No, the medicine bottle is not the key, the key should be the medicine inside the bottle.)
(Is it an anesthetic? Is it a drug? Or some other drug…)
(How could the dead be strangled without any resistance?)
The young prosecutor couldn't help but narrow her eyes, and her pupils gradually lost focus.

The situation at the former crime scene covers the current trial court.

The scene reappeared, and Guiyue Ying began to quickly deduce the situation at the crime scene.

Then, she uttered a surprised sound.

(That's not right. Is there something wrong with the reasoning? Is the information still insufficient?)
The performance of these professionals was not known to the audience in the gallery.

When the black magician took out this piece of evidence that seemed to have nothing to do with this case.

They had already started talking, and the field became noisy.

Many people believe that today’s black magicians are just the same as what Guiyue Liuyun said before.

It was just bluffing, to buy time, and to just bring out anything as evidence.

Even the maid Kana Mizuguchi who was sitting in the dock couldn't help but look worried.

Yes, even she didn't know the significance of the evidence presented by Yuan Guang at this moment.

Although she worked inside the Lavender Villa, she had no idea what was going on inside the Villa.

If she knew that the young lady had taken addictive drugs, then...

Oonuki Zenzo would never be so cowardly as to let Kigetsu Ryuyun trick him and lose his lawyer medal!

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Listening to the noisy sounds around him, the presiding judge shook his head.

He picked up the list of evidence that Guiyue Liuyun had handed to him before the trial.

After looking it over, I found that the prosecution did not submit this evidence during the trial.

He immediately banged the gavel and said bluntly, "Silence, silence! This court requires silence!"

"Virgil, the court believes that the evidence you presented has no relevance to this case."

"Therefore, the evidence you presented is rejected. I hope you will be careful with your words and actions. Otherwise, this court will punish you!"

It has nothing to do with this case? Why?
Nanatsuki Koshimizu covered her mouth in surprise.

This is evidence found at the crime scene. How could it be unrelated to this case?
Did the presiding judge not even look at the detailed list of evidence submitted by the police?

In fact, the presiding judge did not read the detailed list of evidence submitted by the police.

As a long-time partner of Guiyue Liuyun, he knew very well that he only needed to knock down the gavel and declare guilty.

It is sufficient to leave the rest of the matters to Guiyue, the chief prosecutor of the Shikoku region.

If it is not on the list of evidence submitted by Guiyue Liuyun, then it must be evidence irrelevant to this case.

However, the chief judge miscalculated this time, because Gui Yue Liu Yun intended to use this evidence...

It was not included in the list of evidence because it was not submitted until the second trial.

And the evidences that the police collected following Xiang Yuanguang...can almost be described as a "pile of junk".

Out of contempt for the unknown lawyer, Guiyue Liuyun didn't even look through the junk carefully.

This has led to the current misjudgment on both the presiding judge and the prosecutor.

"You said this piece of evidence is irrelevant to this case? Your Honor, if you say it is irrelevant, then it is irrelevant?"

Magician Virgil couldn't help but raise his brows.

I knew this presiding judge was a loser, but I didn't expect him to be this useless.

He is even worse than the presiding judge of the Tokyo District Court No. 1.

He waved the magic wand in his hand without hesitation and slammed it on the table in the defense seat.

"I haven't even explained the connection between this magic item and this reversal magic trick."

"You're just saying it has nothing to do with this case? Don't you know more about evidence law than a magician like me?"

"Heh, I heard that in the Tokyo Tribunal, Prosecutor Gui Yue Liu Yun made outrageous remarks—"

He said this with a sneer to Yuan Guang.

"[The presiding judge only needs to sit in the main seat, bang the gavel, and pronounce a guilty verdict]."

"I was wondering what was going on, but it turned out to have started with you."

Hearing this, the judge's eyes instantly turned angry.

He knew that Guiyue Liuyun had said this, but Guiyue could say it, not you.

He swung the gavel in his hand and slammed it on the table without any mercy.

"This court could have declared you in contempt of court and expelled you right now!"

"But, for the sake of evidence law, I'll give you a chance to explain the connection between the evidence and the case!"

"If you can't prove that this piece of evidence is related to this case..."

"This court will punish you!"

Gui Yue Liuyun, who was standing at the prosecutor's seat, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.

He looked at the presiding judge and knew that his old partner had become ill.

It’s no use saying anything now… Damn it, I’m so grown up, but I blushed after just a few words?

"Once? Once is enough. After all, one of the rules of magicians is——"

A smile appeared on Xiang Yuanguang's lips.

“Never perform a magic trick twice!”

However, he didn’t say the second half of what he wanted to say.

[But, I'm not a magician, I can perform many times! ]
