People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 213 Reversal of Lavender (14)

The court was adjourned for investigation and the trial continued the next day.

That’s right, this is Xiang Yuanguang’s ultimate goal.

Just like he had done before when he facilitated the cross-examination in the Moon Shadow Island case.

Only a trial can bring together all relevant witnesses in a case.

Even those witnesses whom he had not been able to meet before could be met after the trial was adjourned.

Xiang Yuanguang knew very well that there was no way this case could be resolved on the first day of trial.

The trial may take at least two days, and it is not uncommon for it to be delayed until the third day.

As long as he could delay the trial until the next day, he would be at least half successful.

However, the situation would naturally not be as smooth as Xiang Yuanguang had expected.

Boom!
At a moment when everyone was surprised, Guiyue Liuyun slammed the table and stood up.

He pointed at Xiang Yuanguang without any hesitation and then spoke.

"This is ridiculous! How dare you assert that the witnesses in this trial——"

"Koutani Renzo and Yamamoto Kensho, don't you have an alibi?"

"Didn't you check the situation with the old lawyer who walked out in disgrace?"

Guiyue Liuyun snapped his fingers, pointed at the black magician, and then shook his finger.

This shows his inner contempt and indifference.

"Kotani Renzo and Yamamoto Kensho, there were eyewitnesses who saw them go out."

"Therefore, your hypothesis is not valid."

"Circus jester, it's time to end your ugly struggle and admit your defeat."

An eyewitness who was out...?
Xiang Yuanguang narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly recalled the old lawyer's words.

When Oonuki Zenzo explained the situation to him, he seemed to have mentioned this matter.

The witness...is the guy who dismantled the window in the original plot...

An actor from a nearby theater troupe, Hiroo Tsuchio.

(Damn it... If that's the case, what should I do next?)

The Black Magician couldn't help but remain silent at this moment.

He was convinced that the part of the other party's testimony that concerned Kana Mizuguchi's guilt was false.

But, on the other hand, those about alibis may be true.

After all, whether it was Kotani Renzo or Yamamoto Kensho, there was no need for them to lie about this...

There was no murderer in this case, it was just that the eldest daughter, Eri Yamamoto, committed suicide.

Therefore, all the assumptions about murder that are now made to Yuan Guang are fictitious.

It's simply a matter of giving someone a taste of their own medicine.

At this time, the young prosecutor standing next to Guiyue Liuyun came to her senses.

Her pupils returned to normal focus and she looked around the scene with some confusion.

How come everyone was silent in a moment when they were all so excited just now?

Even Virgil, the black magician who had been reasoning, fell silent.

(How strange, if the murderer is brought into the room with Mizuguchi Kana, the murder process can be established.)
(But if we substitute Yamamoto Kensho and Kotani Renzo, the same can be said...?)

(Why is this case so strange? Are all the witnesses suspects?)

Gui Yueying touched her chin in confusion, she couldn't figure it out.

It's impossible that one person was killed twice by two groups of people in the same way, right?

Seeing this scene, Nanatsuki Koshimizu took a deep breath.

Then, when everyone's eyes were on Xiang Yuanguang.

He exerted force with both hands and slammed them on the table!
"Dissent!"

Boom!
There was the sound of banging on the table and voices of objection at the same time.

The presiding judge couldn't help but widen his eyes and said quickly.

"Defense attorney, you are raising an objection at this time. Do you have any evidence to present?"

However, Xiang Yuanguang, the defense lawyer, blinked in confusion at this moment.

What? I just raised an objection? No, I was standing in the middle of the courtroom.

Why did you reach out and slap the defense table? Do you think I'm a tall, thin ghost?
"Your Honor, you should go and take a look at the defense bench. This is not some magic trick." "Haha, it's the little girl who followed the old lawyer back in disgrace..."

"It was the paralegal Nanatsuki Koshimizu who raised the objection."

Guiyue Liuyun sneered and said so.

But he couldn't help feeling a little confused.

This method of dissent always has a sense of déjà vu.

I always feel like I have seen similar objection tactics somewhere?
After Guiyue Liuyun pointed out the source of the sound, everyone turned their eyes to the defense seat.

At this moment, the young detective, who was being watched by everyone, couldn't help but sweat on her forehead.

When I was the legal assistant for Yoshizo Oonuki and Mitsuko Mukai, I didn't feel any pressure at all.

Now, I really shouted out my dissent like a defense lawyer and attracted everyone's attention.

The pressure came over her instantly, making Nanatsuki Koshimizu a little panicked.

Her eyes subconsciously wandered around, as if searching for something.

(…I’ve already said it, eyes are meant to move around a lot.)
(You laughed at me before, but now it’s like this when I come here myself.)
Xiang Yuanguang couldn't help but shook his head.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

The presiding judge banged the gavel and looked at the young female detective in confusion.

Although, he was very unhappy facing the Black Magician, a lawyer who deserved a beating to the extreme.

But if it's a female detective like Nanatsuki Koshimizu who has just passed her expiration date, I'd still be a little more tolerant.

"Silence, silence. Excuse me, does the paralegal have anything to say?"

"You can speak your mind. The worst that can happen is that this nasty magician will be kicked out."

Suddenly, the presiding judge noticed a wave of unfriendly gazes.

There is no doubt that this is the gaze from the black magician Virgil.

However, the presiding judge didn't care, if it wasn't related to Guiyue Liuyun's reputation.

He would smash it down with the gavel right now and make the bastard get out of the courtroom!

"I, uh, I...I wanted to say..."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu stuttered a little, and her eyes fell on Mizuguchi Kana who was in the dock.

Feeling the expectant gaze, I couldn't help but feel a little more pressured.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and spoke loudly.

"The prosecutor ignored the most important piece of evidence from beginning to end!"

"The defense requests... requests the prosecutor to produce the murder weapon in this case——————"

"【The noose to hang Yamamoto Eri】!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Yes, the murder weapon in this case has not been produced in the trial yet!

Hearing this, Guiyue Liuyun shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course...Bailiff, go inform Akazawa Osamu and bring the murder weapon here."

"I have to say that this time it was indeed the prosecutor's mistake—"

"But the defense's dazzling magic also bears much of the blame!"

(I scolded your horse and didn't throw a card in your face. This is my greatest respect for the Tribunal.)
The black magician turned around and glared at Guiyue Liuyun.

Then, he turned back to the defense seat and spoke softly.

"Thank you, Yueshui."

"Now, I still have some time to think..."

The young detective shook her head and spoke in a low voice.

"Stop talking about that. The key now is to destroy the alibis of Yamamoto Kensho and Kotani Renzo..."

"I went to the lounge to take a look... Xiang Yuan and Kuiwei Guangsheng were not in the lounge..."

"Do you know what I mean?"

(Isn’t Hiroo in the lounge?)

Xiang Yuanguang's eyes lit up.

Great, the last breakthrough point...is here!
