People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 231 Reversal of Lavender (22)

Request the police to show the process of proving the relationship between this piece of evidence and the case...?
The Black Magician's words were a complete 180-degree turn.

When I was about to take the last step, there was a sudden turn of events.

Seeing this situation, the people in the audience couldn't help but make noise again.

What on earth does the defense lawyer mean by this? Did his own assistant pull him over and cause him to have his brains broken?

The other party had clearly been arguing step by step and had almost reached the final stage, but he turned back at this moment.

Then wouldn't all the testimonies given before be in vain?

"...You actually noticed the [trap] at this time?"

"Circus jester, I will just praise you a little bit here."

Guiyue Liuyun said with a sneer.

"Okay, as the defense said... the prosecutor will present the evidence here..."

"The key evidence belonging to the defendant Mizuguchi Kana is ready."

(What do you mean? The shopping receipt really belongs to Kana Mizuguchi?)
(Why?)

A hint of doubt flashed in Xiang Yuanguang's eyes.

He immediately turned to look at the maid, Mizuguchi Kana, who was sitting in the dock.

But I saw indescribable surprise on Mizuguchi Kana's face, and she said excitedly.

"I did purchase daily necessities a few days ago according to the housekeeper's request..."

"Glue and screwdrivers were also part of it, but I didn't bring the receipt back to the villa at all."

"How could the police find this shopping receipt in Lavender Villa?"

Hearing this, Guiyue Liuyun snapped his fingers.

Then extend your index finger and shake it gently.

He said contemptuously.

"This shopping receipt does belong to you, because this is..."

"The police are investigating the location of the goods you purchased. Ask your boss to reprint the shopping receipt."

"Whether it's the time or the items purchased, they are exactly the same, and the defendant can confidently verify it."

"And what can prove this is this piece of evidence."

Present——————evidence [supermarket’s surveillance records].

This surveillance record clearly records the checkout scene of Kana Mizuguchi after purchasing daily necessities three days ago.

Therefore, this receipt can only be said to not be the evidence found in Lavender Villa.

However, it meets the requirement of "evidence that supports the possibility of committing a crime" as mentioned by Akasawa Osamu.

Therefore, Xiang Yuanguang can say that this piece of evidence does not exist inside the Lavender Villa.

But we cannot say that this is perjury, or that this piece of evidence has nothing to do with the case.

"Haha, Black Magician, you saved your life."

Guiyue Liuyun submitted this piece of evidence to the court records of the trial court.

He shook his head with extreme contempt, and then said.

"Your Honor, it's time to punish the defense lawyer for his reckless behavior."

The presiding judge nodded.

However, I still feel a little regretful because I could have just carried the defense lawyer away.

But now it seems that it will only be remembered once.

He raised the gavel in his hand, then brought it down and announced.

"Defense attorney, you are not allowed to act so alarmed and bluff like this again."

"If you make three mistakes, I will ask you to leave the courtroom."

"And the mistake you made just now... was your [first time]!"

Hearing these words, Xiang Yuanguang's face couldn't help but darken.

Although, because of the black mask, others could not see the changes in his expression.

But one can also realize that Xiang Yuanguang is definitely not in a very good mood right now.

(My play in this game was too aggressive. No, I need to play it more steadily.)
(Haha, there are still three speech bullets left, but only two chances to make mistakes.)
(It seems that if I fail in this trial, I won’t even be able to fire all my verbal bullets…)
The black magician stood there without expressing his opinion. Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was standing next to him, breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems her instincts as a detective haven't deteriorated yet.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt someone was looking at her.

When Koshimizu Nanatsuki raised her head, the first thing she saw was someone in the audience...

That high school detective with a rather gloomy appearance.

And Tokatsu Junya also stared at Koshimizu Nanatsuki who was sitting in the defense assistant seat, and a hint of surprise flashed across his mind.

(This famous detective who came from somewhere else is said to be quite capable.)
(But, so what? This is Shikoku, and no one can defeat Inspector Kizuki in Shikoku.)
Although Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was standing in the defense assistant seat, had no idea what Junya Tokatsu was thinking.

However, as she stared at Tokatsu Junya, she inexplicably had an urge to hit this guy with a club.

No, no, I have to be patient... If I really hit him with a club, I will be detained during a critical period...

Of course, what neither Nanatsuki Koshimizu nor Junya Tokitsu knew was.

If Xiang Yuanguang had not appeared, in a few months.

Tokitsu Junya was killed on the spot because he was hit from behind by Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

"…Thanks, Yueshui."

He spoke softly to Yuan Guang, concentrating fully.

The female detective next to her shook her head slightly.

"You're welcome. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be involved in this troublesome trial."

"In fact, Lawyer Ohnuki first suggested that I go to the Honichidai area to find Kensuke Kumimon..."

"I just didn't expect to meet you on the road that day."

Go to Gu Meimen for defense?

He blinked at Yuan Guang.

How should I put it, maybe this game would be easier to win if Kumimon plays.

After all, he is still too focused on rice noodles, while Kumimon has no rice noodles at all in order to win.

Both sides are determined to win, but Gui Yue Liu Yun still has to worry about his career...

There is a high probability that if Kumimon is invited, it will be Kumimon's victory.

"I'm really sorry, but it's okay."

"I told you, my chances of winning this defense are 100%..."

...In any case, it's [100%].

At the prosecutor's seat, Gui Yue Liu Yun couldn't help but sneer again.

This guy really has no experience in conducting trials in the Shikoku region.

A true rookie lawyer? Such rapid progress will lead to a trap.

This time, the black magician was lucky, but it won’t be so easy next time.

Guiyue Liuyun slapped the table and said bluntly.

"Akazawa Osamu, Aoki Chinatsu, your actions have obstructed the fairness and justice of the trial."

"Get out now. Afterwards... I will ask Inspector Kitayama to issue you a fine."

In response, Akasawa Osamu just nodded slightly and left with Aoki Chinatsu.

Crunch——————

After the door of the courtroom was closed, Guiyue Liuyun continued speaking slowly.

"Since the [screwdriver] cannot be used as an auxiliary tool in committing a crime, the [shopping receipt] is naturally useless."

"However, regarding the second point left over from the last trial, the alibi—"

"The prosecutors are ready. Next, the prosecutors request..."

A haughty smile appeared at the corner of Guiyue Liuyun's mouth.

He stared into Xiang Yuanguang's angry eyes without giving in.

“…Let Kotani Renzo and Yamamoto Kensho’s alibi witness, Tsuchio Hiroo, testify in court.”
