People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 23 Gross Profit Exclusion Method

Let’s not worry about what Xiang Yuanguang thinks for now.

On the other side, Inspector Megure had already brought three suspects into the public toilet.

Kogoro Mouri also followed Inspector Megure in, while Detective Takagi was guarding the toilet door.

"Conan? Seriously, where have you been again?"

Ran Maori's voice came from the door of the coffee shop.

Maybe Ran Mouri has already comforted Suzuki Sonoko.

(It seems that Conan can no longer be relied upon in this case.)
(However, since Conan provided this information, it is not difficult to solve the case.)
Xiang Yuanguang's logical reasoning is one star.

But this one star is reflected in the level of deducing clues.

If you just use clues, then there is no problem.

After all, being able to give a piece of evidence or a clue multiple explanations and possibilities is a lawyer's specialty.

This is something a detective cannot do.

"Conan, leave the rest to me."

"I will solve this case cleanly and efficiently."

He snapped his fingers, said goodbye to Conan and said hello to Takagi Wataru who was at the toilet door.

Then he walked into the bathroom without looking back.

Edogawa Conan looked a little doubtful.

In order to deal with Aunt Eri Kisaki, they have rehearsed many times in the past two days.

Therefore, Conan is very clear about the level of detective Xiang Yuanguang is.

At most, he is slightly stronger than Uncle Maori, but that is limited.

"It's really frustrating, this guy Xiang Yuan..."

Conan was thinking, when suddenly someone patted his shoulder.

Conan shuddered almost subconsciously.

He turned around and saw the smiling prosecutor Kuma Sukawa.

This young prosecutor, whom Conan had only met once, gave Conan an ominous feeling.

How should I put it... it's the detective's first instinct.

"Little brother, don't run around, your sister is looking for you."

"Okay, hurry over there and don't disturb Attorney Xiang Yuan from handling the case."

Kuma Sukawa smiled, but it was chilling.

Conan nodded subconsciously, and without time to disguise himself, he ran from Kuma Sukawa to Mouri Ran.

"Ah! Conan, so you are here."

Mao Lilan said in surprise, and she thanked Kuma Sukawa.

"Thank you, Prosecutor Kuma."

"Nothing. Helping citizens is what we prosecutors should do."

Kuma Sukawa adjusted his collar and then walked into the public restroom.

He seemed to be very interested in the investigation of the case and wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Detective Takagi did not stop him. After all, Kuma Sukawa was a prosecutor and was considered a member of the system.

(Who is that guy?)

Conan hid behind Ran Mouri, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

(Why does it make me feel so dangerous?)
(Could it be that he has some connection with the two men in black at the amusement park?)
Ran Mao Li noticed that Conan seemed a little frightened. She squatted down gently and touched Conan's head. While comforting Conan, she was worried about the situation on his father's side.

I hope that this time, Dad will be able to solve the case as smoothly as before.

"...That's right, we just need to repeat what the murderer did."

Kogoro Mouri stood next to Inspector Megure and said this.

"The murderer hid in the toilet cubicle. When the victim, Himeno Yayoi, entered the toilet, he used a rope to strangle the victim's neck to prevent her from making any sound, and then stabbed the victim with a knife, killing her instantly." "Then, the murderer flipped through the empty space above the toilet cubicles and flipped into other cubicles to create the illusion of a murder in a closed room, and finally left the toilet and returned to the coffee shop."

"That is to say, among the three of you, the one who can climb over the gap above is a suspect!"

Inspector Megure nodded.

Xiang Yuanguang, who had just come in, touched his chin and narrowed his eyes.

If we follow the Mori method of elimination, the murderer identified by Mori Kogoro must be innocent.

So, if he had to choose between the two, should Kogoro Mori choose Wakaoji Juro as the murderer?
So, the murderer must be a huge man, so it is impossible for him to look through the cubicle above the toilet?
(But how? Without looking through windows or looking through cubicles.)
(How do you get out of the nearly sealed toilet cubicle and return to the coffee shop?)
"What's wrong? Lawyer Xiang Yuan, is there something wrong?"

A faint voice sounded behind me.

"Whoa!"

Xiang Yuanguang was startled. He turned around and looked at the person who came.

It is prosecutor Kuma Sukawa.

How come this guy walks without making any sound?

If someone hit me on the head with a fire extinguisher, wouldn't I be repeating the same mistake as Phoenix Wright?
"Haha, sorry, sorry, I scared you."

Kuma Sukawa scratched the back of his head and smiled shyly.

He looked over Xiang Yuanguang at the three suspects, listened to what Dianshan Shisan said, sniffed with his nose, and was a little confused.

"...I can't be the murderer. Look, I can't flip over the cubicle, right? Just like this fat police officer, I can't do it."

Toyama Jusan defended himself, and Mori Kogoro nodded. He and Inspector Megure looked at Ouma Yuichi at the same time.

Because if Prince Juro entered the toilet the latest, the possibility of him committing a crime would be the lowest.

Excluding Dianshan Shisan, the culprit could only be Huang Yuyi.

"I...I was able to roll over, but I really didn't kill him!"

"I didn't even know the deceased, why did I kill her? This doesn't make any sense!"

Huang Yuyi said at a loss.

But to make matters worse, Detective Takagi walked into the bathroom from outside.

He proudly held up the evidence in his hand - a rope.

"This is the rope we found on Huang Yuyi's desk."

"It is very likely that the murder weapon that strangled the deceased was one we did not find at the scene!"

"No, that, that is the rope I use to tie my books! You can look at my desk!"

Huang Yu retreated again and again, as if he could see himself being arrested in the future.

Now all the evidence on the field points to Huang Yuyi, and he has no way to prove himself!

But at this moment, there was a sound of snapping fingers.

The eyes of everyone present were all drawn to Xiang Yuanguang.

"I just got new testimony. Some people say that when Huang Yuyi left the toilet——"

"It was earlier than the time when the deceased Himeno Yayoi entered the toilet! Therefore, Huang Yuyi could not have committed the crime!"

Xiang Yuanguang's words were concise and to the point, and even Maori Kogoro could understand them.

Uncle Maori's eyes lit up at this moment. This was a good opportunity to save his face.

Immediately, Kogoro Mori pointed at Wakaoji Juro.

"So, the murderer is you, Mr. Wakaoji Juro!?"

Wakashi Ojijuro's eyes widened. He didn't expect that he would be the one to take the blame.

However, what no one expected was that a strong wind suddenly blew up at this time!
It is Xiang Yuanguang’s objection!
"A pound of pears (objection)! Mr. Wakaji Juro is not the real murderer of the case!"

He stretched out his hand to Yuan Guang and pointed at Dianshan Thirteen.

"I want to prove that Dianshan Shisan is the real murderer in this case!"

Word bullet【5/5】!
No bullets were wasted, the objection is correct!

The real murderer is Dianshan Shisan!
