People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 239 Reversal of Lavender (28)

—————May 10, 10:28 a.m.——————

—————Shikoku region, the corridor outside the third courtroom——————

Xiang Yuanguang hid his body in a magical cloak.

And the face was still covered by the black half-mask.

There are two minutes left before the court resumes after a short recess.

He is now going to the Third Court of Trial with Nanatsuki Koshimizu.

Tick, tick, tick.

Amid the sound of footsteps, Nanatsuki Koshimizu suddenly asked.

"Virgil, you said before that you were 100% sure, what was the reason?"

"In the courtroom, it's impossible to be 100% sure, right?"

I heard the voice of the black magic girl behind me.

The black magician paused for a moment, a little surprised.

But since his assistant has already asked, there is no need to hide it.

"The key to a case trial is not the trial process, but what happens before the trial begins..."

“Are you adequately prepared?”

Xiang Yuanguang said softly, without stopping his steps.

Although the sound was faint, Nanatsuki Koshimizu heard it clearly.

"Just like this trial, it was well prepared before it even started."

"I will ensure that the defendant, Kana Mizuguchi, will be found not guilty."

"No, it's not about making sure that Mizuguchi Kana is innocent, but about making sure..."

He didn't finish his words and seemed to be hiding something.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu couldn't help but feel a little confused.

She walked quickly forward and came to Xiang Yuanguang's side.

But I saw that the other person's eyes seemed to have changed.

It's like it changed from a bright and upright dragon to a dark and dangerous snake.

"In short, you just need to know that the outcome has been determined since before the trial began."

"The intern said that it would be possible to contact the key person and obtain the final prop only on the third day of the trial."

"But in fact, Guiyue Liuyun would never let the trial drag on to the third day."

Xiang Yuanguang's voice was very calm.

His sight fell on Guiyue Liuyun and Chuiwei Guangsheng who appeared at the corner of the distant corridor.

He couldn't help but shook his head, then continued.

"Before Moon Shadow Island, I never thought that I would stand in the court of justice against Ghost Moon Liuyun."

"This guy is completely different from the image my grandfather and I mentioned. Haha, this is the power of time."

(The power of time? Grandpa? Is he referring to the former Minister of Justice whom Xiang Yuan rarely mentioned?)

(It’s a bit strange, if Xiang Yuan’s grandfather had ever told Xiang Yuan about Ghost Moon Flowing Clouds…)
(Then why did Xiang Yuan know nothing about Guiyue Liuyun from the beginning of Yueying Island?)
A hint of doubt flashed through Nanatsuki Koshimizu's mind.

However, the time was almost up now, and they had already arrived at the gate of the Third Court of Justice.

The arrogant chief prosecutor didn't bother to say anything to them.

The bailiff next to them pushed the door open and let Guiyue Liuyun and Chuwei Guangsheng in.

Afterwards, Mukai Genmitsu and Koshimizu Nanatsuki followed in.

Boom——————

The door of the third courtroom closed.

Tick, tick, tick.

Xiang Yuanguang walked calmly to the defense seat.

He quietly looked at Kigetsu Ryuun standing opposite him in the prosecutor's seat. (As expected, both Iga Makoto and the medical trainee had already started to exert their strength at this time.)
(As long as Guiyue Liuyun is defeated in this trial, he will do whatever it takes to ensure victory.)
(The third trial will not be held on the third day, but on the night of the second day...)
The black magician tapped his finger lightly on his forehead.

He closed his eyes slightly, and many details of the case suddenly emerged.

The next moment, Xiang Yuanguang opened his eyes and pulled out a magic wand from somewhere.

The black magician stood leaning on his magic wand, waiting for the presiding judge to continue the trial.

On the other side, Guiyue Liuyun narrowed his eyes the moment he saw the black magician.

I don't know why, but I feel like something is not right.

However, he immediately felt the same as he did in the previous trial.

(Is this… an illusion? Humph, no matter what, the outcome of this trial is already determined.)
(With such a Skynet, even a black magician can’t escape it even if he has wings!)

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

The presiding judge banged the gavel, coughed twice, and then spoke.

"The recess is over. Now, let's continue with the trial of the Lavender Villa murder case."

"Have both the prosecutor and the defense completed their preparations during the recess?"

There was no need to say much, this time both sides said nothing, just nodded.

The presiding judge was not surprised by this. He shook his head and spoke again.

"Then please continue the previous questioning process, defense."

"Witness Kuiwei Guangsheng, I hope you will answer carefully this time and not give false testimony!"

Standing at the witness stand, Hiroo Tsuchio nodded nervously.

From the conversation in the lounge just now, he has already determined the next response strategy.

To deal with such a lawyer with strong observation and reasoning abilities, silence is enough.

Since the other party was unable to obtain new testimony, they naturally had no way to prove the defendant's innocence.

"Enough of the nonsense. The defense asks the witness to answer the previous questions."

thump.

The magic wand knocked on the ground, and Xiang Yuanguang's eyes were fixed on Tsuchiwei Guangsheng.

Then, he followed his previous train of thought and asked without hesitation.

"Hiroo Tsuchio, you mentioned that the deceased had a tendency to self-harm and mental problems."

"It's impossible that there were no signs. You must have seen something to bring it up like that."

"Please state when you saw the deceased and came to this conclusion."

There is no need for further thinking now.

It only takes one wrong pointing out to directly break the lock on Hiroo Hammer's heart.

Xiang Yuanguang is convinced that this will bring a new direction to the trial of this case.

But the next moment, Tsuchio Hiroo's words poured a bucket of cold water on Xiang Yuanguang.

"According to the law, as a witness, I have the right to refuse to answer questions that are harmful to my personal interests."

"I personally think this question will affect my personal interests, so I refuse to answer it."

Refuse to answer? This... this guy...

The black magician's gaze quickly moved to Guiyue Liuyun.

The witness did a 180-degree turn during the recess, it was definitely something the prosecutor and the witness said.

In other words, it was Guiyue Liuyun who asked Tsuchio Hiroo to refuse to answer questions from the defense.

This is troublesome... There is still one more heart lock to break...

If Hiroo Tsuchio continues to refuse to answer questions, then during the trial of this case...

Wouldn't the ability of Heart Lock be completely invalidated?
(Now I can only try to use indirect methods to see if I can get Kuchio Hiroo to talk.)
(Otherwise, without the Heart Lock, the rest of the trial would be difficult to proceed...!)

Xiang Yuanguang quickly determined the next breakthrough strategy in his mind.
