People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 214 Reversal of Lavender (15)

Standing at the testimony stand, Renzo Kotani felt an inexplicable sense of desolation.

However, Xiang Yuanguang would never sympathize with him.

This kind of guy who can watch others being forced to death and still have an expression like "I didn't know he would do that".

He should spend the rest of his life in prison, and report to Sanzu River and the God of Death with his secret.

The reason why he didn't ask for the noose before was that he really forgot.

On the other hand, this murder weapon is actually not very good looking...

There is a 99% chance that there are only the deceased's own fingerprints on it, and there may also be Mizuguchi Kana's fingerprints on it.

That's 100% certain that it's Guiyue Liuyun, the old Biden, who is playing tricks again.

(If Ghost Moon Master does something fancy for me, I will lock my heart and add words to send him off happily.)
(Who says I can only put pressure on witnesses? Isn’t putting pressure on prosecutors also a form of pressure?)

The black magician put his hand on his magic hat.

The crows circled over the judge's head and then flew back to Xiang Yuanguang.

Xiang Yuanguang shook his head helplessly, took off his hat, took out a long loaf of bread from it and put it on the table.

Immediately, the bailiff's eyes widened, and then he smiled with relief.

Haha, at least there is no trap set in the courtroom. It's just a magic trick. What's so strange about it?

Tick, tick, tick.

Footsteps were heard from outside the courtroom.

Crunch——————

The door of the courtroom was pushed open.

Akazawa Osamu returned to the courtroom with the murder weapon, looking reluctant.

And the person who had been following him, Chinatsu Aoki, disappeared at this moment.

He must have been dumbfounded by the black magician Virgil, the tile-throwing monster.

I chose to turn a blind eye to it.

"Prosecutor Gui Yue, bring the murder weapon here."

Standing at the witness stand, Renzo Kotani couldn't bear to continue looking at the murder weapon.

The rope ruthlessly took the life of the eldest daughter Eri Yamamoto.

If the quality of the rope was slightly lower, the results would be different.

However, Guiyue Liuyun did not shy away from these things, as he had seen so many things.

Isn't it just a noose that someone used to commit suicide? What's so strange about that?

"Inspector Akazawa, place the murder weapon at the witness stand, and you can leave."

"Now, I will personally explain the situation of the murder weapon——————"

The outline of a noose is projected.

Guiyue Laodeng picked up the prepared court records and walked to the side of the main stage.

His eyes lingered on the detached window for a moment, and then he spoke.

"The murderer used an ordinary hemp rope to kill the daughter of Lavender Villa, Eri Yamamoto."

"Only Eri Yamamoto's fingerprints were left on the rope, not anyone else's."

"I have to say that the murderer's method of killing was very sophisticated. If the window hadn't been discovered,

"I'm afraid this case will end as a suicide."

(I’m afraid this case will end with the truth coming out.)
Xiang Yuanguang complained in his heart as he walked across the defense seat.

He came to the evidence stand and looked at the noose pretentiously.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... he suddenly said.

"Prosecutor Kigetsuki, you said earlier that Yamamoto Kensho and Kotani Renzo had alibis at the time of the crime."

"Then, what form does the alibi take?"

Lao Deng's gaze paused on the black magician next to him, and then he moved away without making a sound.

Finally, he spoke when he reached the prosecutor's seat.

"Of course there were eyewitnesses who saw Yamamoto Kensho and Kotani Renzo going out to buy things." "Therefore, Yamamoto Kensho and Kotani Renzo have an alibi for the time of the crime."

"So, your previous reasoning was totally wrong."

"Oh, the witness is an actor from a nearby theater troupe, Tsuchio Hiroo, right?"

The black magician casually mentioned the name of the witness.

This immediately made Guiyue Liuyun narrow his eyes.

This guy clearly knows what the form of an alibi is.

We even know the name of the witness, why do we need him to say it out loud before we continue?
"I don't know if Prosecutor Guiyue knows about this, but that doesn't stop me from speaking out directly."

"The eyewitness you mentioned, Hiroo Tsuchio, has a close relationship with the witness in this case, Renzo Kotani."

"He has visited Lavender Villa more than once, so I think..."

"If Hiroo Tsuchio wants to prove that Renzo Kotani and Kensho Yamamoto were not present at the time of the crime."

"He has to come to the courtroom and testify in person."

Black Magician Virgil turned his head.

Guiyue Liuyun's expression instantly turned ugly when Virgil was staring at him.

Because Hiroo Tsuchio didn't know what was going on, he heard that it was after the trial of Kana Mizuguchi's case.

He refused to appear in court as a witness, so his alibi was indeed flawed.

"Defense attorney, it seems that your goal is to delay the trial to the next day by any means necessary."

"Haha, for a case like this, will the results of the first and second day trials be different?"

Gui Yue Liuyun's expression was very ugly just now, but suddenly it became relaxed.

Unexpectedly, he relented.

"Okay, since you want to postpone the trial until the next day, I will agree."

"Hiroo Tsuchio was not in the lounge, and the prosecutors needed time to persuade him to appear in court."

"Therefore, the presiding judge and the prosecutor requested a one-day recess to conduct a more detailed investigation and evidence collection."

Just...are you just going to let it go?

Xiang Yuanguang narrowed his eyes, he couldn't believe it would be so easy.

Because, the prosecutors still have a witness who has not shown up yet—the one who is so elusive...

Kensho Yamamoto, the owner of Lavender Villa and the father of the deceased, did not appear.

Whether it is the trial or the animation, they are all mysterious characters that have never appeared before.

Frankly speaking, Xiang Yuanguang also wanted to have a fight with that guy to see what was going on.

(However, since the prosecutors requested a one-day recess, our goal has been achieved.)
(The next step is to collect more information step by step...such as autopsy reports.)
(Kuizuki Liuyun had said before that he would ask Yamamoto Kensho to testify in court regarding the time.)
(Yamamoto Kensho must be in a lounge in the courtroom at this time, and he will go to block him after the trial.)
Thinking of this, the black magician did not object.

"Well, since the prosecutor has made such a request, the defense also agrees..."

"Let's adjourn the court today and postpone the trial to the next day."

The presiding judge was somewhat surprised by the situation in the courtroom.

According to his impression, Guiyue is the kind of person who will not give up until he defeats his opponent in one fell swoop.

It is clear that the advantage is on Guiyue's side now, as long as Yamamoto Kensho appears in court.

Maybe the defense couldn't stand the pressure and retreated directly.

(…Does Guiyue have any other plans? He actually did this.)
(This is probably preparation for promotion to the Chief of the Public Prosecutor's Office in Shikoku.)
The presiding judge shook his head, raised the gavel, and then brought it down.

"Well, since the defense and the prosecutor agree, today's trial ends here."

"Regarding the Lavender Murder Case, the Trial is postponed to the second day of the three-day trial."

"Please ask the prosecutor to further improve the testimony and evidence after today's trial."

"As for the defense... take care of yourself after today's trial."

"Now, this court declares——————"

"Adjourn the court!"
