People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 224: Adjournment: Heroin

—————May 9, 8:30 p.m.—————

————Shikoku places, local B&Bs——————

The TV was broadcasting a rare report on a criminal case in Shikoku.

Gui Yue Liuyun, the prosecutor who always acts swiftly and decisively, was rarely defeated by a lawyer.

Moreover, the lawyer who was his opponent was even a magic lawyer who had never existed before.

"This kind of magic... reminds me of the Kaito Kidd from Tokyo."

"However, a magician like Kaito Kidd is far inferior to a black magician."

Takagi Wataru took a sip of beer and said excitedly.

"After all, how can a righteous magician who can perform magic in the courtroom be compared with a phantom thief magician who wastes police resources every day!"

Sitting on the other side of the table, Sato Miwako yawned tiredly.

Although she had never met Guiyue Liuyun, she had some understanding of his style of doing things from the Tokyo Police Department.

That's truly a case of using any means necessary to win, and they're even more lawless in their own Four Kingdoms region.

"If I remember correctly, the criminal from Moon Shadow Island seemed to have mentioned Gui Yue Liu Yun's perjury afterwards."

"However, the prosecutor was attacked by an unknown person, so the matter has been put on hold for the time being."

"Yes, yes, Guiyue Liuyun is really lucky. If he were still in the court, maybe..."

Takagi Wataru touched the back of his head and then spoke confidently.

"Maybe they have already been sent to prison by Lawyer Xiang Yuan."

"But what is the Archmage doing now? Is he still lying in the hospital?"

"Let's go to the hospital to visit Master Xiang Yuan before the vacation ends!"

(So… why is he called a wizard? Does Xiang Yuanguang know magic?)
Miwako Sato, who usually does not appear in criminal court as part of a case, was somewhat confused.

She and Xiang Yuanguang had met twice in total, once during the TV station murder case.

At that time, Officer Sato was maintaining order at the scene and did not go to the first scene of the reasoning.

The second time was when Conan Edogawa was kidnapped. Her only impression of Genmi was...

This guy is really strong. He can punch through the security door with just three punches!
Beep beep~beep beep~
The phone rings.

The two police officers turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the place where the ringing sound came from - it was the landline phone.

Takagi Shigeru stood up without thinking and greeted the owner of the B&B.

"Grandpa, someone called."

The B&B owner poked his head out of the kitchen and wiped the water off his hands.

While saying thank you, he walked to the landline and looked at the phone number on it.

It's very strange. It's a phone number I have never seen before. Maybe it's a wrong number?

Anyway, the B&B owner answered the phone and put it to his ear.

"This is Hirata House, how can I help you... Looking for Officer Takagi?"

"Um, Mr. Takagi, are you a policeman?"

The old man looked at Takagi Shigeru next to him with some surprise, and Takagi Shigeru also looked confused.

It's strange. He and Sato didn't tell anyone that they were staying in the B&B here.

Knowing that he is a policeman, should you just call his cell phone directly?

"Yes...I am, in trouble."

Takagi Shigeru nodded apologetically and took the phone.

The voice coming from the phone was completely unfamiliar, and I had never heard anything like it before.

Takagi Wataru's first reaction was that someone had faked the sound.

"My name is Takagi Wataru. How did you know I live here? Who are you?"

"Who am I? It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is who you are."

On the other end of the phone was a spacious office.

The middle-aged man, who looked dignified without being angry, lay on his office chair, looking at the busy city outside. He held the phone in one hand and spoke bluntly.

"I found some interesting details about the recent Lavender Villa murder case."

"Because you are the criminal in charge of the Tsukikage Island case in Tokyo, I came to you."

"Sigh, Officer Takagi, you don't want anyone to be convicted and imprisoned for no reason, do you?"

Takagi Shigeru couldn't help but frown.

He couldn't understand what the person on the other end was saying.

What does the Lavender Villa murder case have to do with him, a policeman from Tokyo, Moon Shadow Island?
What is the connection between the Moon Shadow Island case and the Lavender Villa murder case?
Miwako Sato, who was sitting next to the TV, looked at the landline phone at the entrance with some confusion.

(It's strange why a phone call took so long.)
(Is there anything special that needs to be dealt with?)
pat.

After hanging up the phone, Takagi Wataru returned to the TV with a serious face.

He was watching the news about the Lavender Villa murder case which was still being broadcast on TV.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke.

"Officer Sato, I'm afraid we need to contact the Tokyo Police Department now."

"There is one thing that must be dealt with now, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Hearing this, Officer Sato also became serious.

She sat up straight, guessing that this incident might be related to the Lavender Villa murder case.

"So, Takagi Wataru, what are you waiting for?"

—————May 9, 9:03 p.m.—————

—————Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department——————

"What? You want me to send a fax about the Moon Shadow Island case?"

"Takagi, can you please explain the situation more clearly? We need to contact the local police station in advance when handling a case across different regions!"

When Inspector Megure picked up the phone, he felt a headache.

Really, how can Takagi's vacation in Shikoku still be related to work?

"Okay, I understand... Go find the fax machine and I'll transfer the case information over."

"However, cross-district or joint case handling contacts can only be made tomorrow."

"I know, I know... ah? Is it related to Master Xiangyuan again? I see."

After hanging up the phone, Inspector Megure sighed.

I originally thought it was Takagi Wataru's problem, but now it seems that it is indeed Xiang Yuanguang's problem.

I heard that he was hospitalized due to injuries from the explosion, so how come he is now going to the trial court of the four countries to defend himself?

Inspector Megure stood up and looked at the police officer next to him.

"Qianye, go to the archives and apply for the case information of the Moon Shadow Island case."

"Go now, I need to contact the drug search department..."

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Third Investigation Division, which had been somewhat quiet, suddenly became lively again.

Prosecutor Kuma, who was driving by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Beika Branch, saw this and couldn't help but sigh.

Beihua Town is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. A case could still happen in the middle of the night.

"I understand. Don't say any more... I'll handle the matter with the Special Investigation Division."

Kuma Sukawa controlled the steering wheel while holding the phone.

Recently, Kaito Kid released some preview letter, and a group of fanatical fans were blocking the road.

I really don't understand why a thief has such a high popularity.

As they walked along the scattered moonlight, Kuma Sukawa did not forget to make a complaint.

"I always feel like this world revolves around detectives and phantom thieves. Is this my illusion?"

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

Prosecutor Kuma's car disappeared into the distance, where the moon and the horizon intersected.
