People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 278 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (5)

—————May 21, 8:30 a.m.——————

—————Detention center, interrogation room——————

Xiang Yuanguang's face was calm.

However, Conan, who was sitting next to him and only half of his head was visible because he was too short, had a bad look on his face.

The reason is simple: the bastard thief in front of him actually used his identity to take the blame.

If he wants to change back, how should he explain it to Xiaolan?
"Although I don't understand legal theory, but from the perspective of magic."

"I think the method of killing in this case was like a high-profile performance."

Kuroba Kaito held his chin and went over the entire process of the case in his mind.

The fake Kaito Kid first appears when he sets out to steal the Black Star from Tomoko Suzuki.

That guy attracted the attention of others for him, thanks to Inspector Nakamori's shouting.

Afterwards, he and Xiang Yuanguang arrived at the top of the cruise ship one after another.

The fake Kaito Kid shot and killed Kujuku Motoyasu again, then dropped the gun and fled.

After that, he disappeared, and all that was left was the guy's clothes that were thrown off the cruise ship.

"The other party intended to let Inspector Nakamori discover me, so as to attract the attention of everyone on the deck."

"The purpose is to let everyone know that Kaito Kid shot and killed Kujuku Motoyasu."

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and was also thinking.

He tapped his forehead, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Then, if we reverse the idea, he didn't want people to know that it was Kaito Kid who killed people."

"But he [can only] let others know that it was Kaito Kid who killed people."

The lawyer's unique reversal of ideas immediately made Kuroba Kaito feel a little confused.

Why is it said that only other people can know that it was Kaito Kid who killed people?
Conan standing next to him also forgot about the fact that he was disguised and took the blame.

What Xiaolan will think at that time is another matter for the future. The key now is to solve the case.

The Shinigami pupil said thoughtfully.

"Since it is [only] possible to let others know that it was Kaito Kid who killed people."

"Then there can only be one person... that is the white magician Sanada Ichizo."

If we infer that Kazuzo Sanada is the criminal, the doubts on the scene will make sense.

Only Kazuzo Sanada is the only magician in the Miracle Magic Group who can move freely.

If he did it, he could easily knock Miyoshi Mazi unconscious and lock him in a secret room, then set up a special crossbow.

You can also use the identity of Kaito Kid to shoot his teacher, Kujuku Motoyasu.

Because the other party was wearing Kaito Kid's clothes and had no time to change clothes.

So not only can everyone see that Kaito Kid shot Kyujuku Motoyasu... ?
"Isn't that right? There seems to be a fallacy in this."

Xiang Yuanguang gently tapped his forehead with his finger.

He seemed to be thinking about something as he spoke to himself.

"If it was Sanada Kazuzo who killed someone, then it happened when Sanada Kazuzo was still in the center of the lobby."

"Who disguised himself as Kaito Kid and attracted the attention of Inspector Nakamori?"

"Is there a second magician on the field who can move freely and commit crimes?"

If the murderer is really Kaito Kid, then, in fact, there is one.

Because when Kaito Kid first made a comeback, it was Kaito Kid's butler Terai Yosuke who played the thief.

Therefore, if Kaito Kid really wants to kill people, he can achieve the effect by letting Terai Yosuke come as well.

"Does it exist? No, I don't think it does. Don't forget the thing found on the sea."

Without waiting for Kaito Kid to say anything more, the Elementary School Student of Death said thoughtfully.

"Along with the [clothes], we also found a [hang glider] and an [inflatable dummy]."

"I know a little bit about the magic of flying."

“A magician can make himself [fly] by wrapping a steel wire around his back.”

“The same effect can be achieved by wrapping it around [an inflatable dummy].”

Conan's words made Kaito Kid hesitate to speak.

At the same time, Xiang Yuanguang took out a cup of coffee from somewhere and took a sip.

He nodded, thinking that Conan's speculation made sense.

That’s right, in Ace Attorney there is also a magician who is good at flying magic, his name is Marx.

The principle of his flying magic is to use a steel wire rope in a fixed position. The most important thing is that he used this magic trick before when the White Magician performed on the Queen Serissabeth.

"Yes, from this perspective, the murderer might be [Sanada Kazuzo]."

"Next, I will investigate Sanada Ichizo's situation to determine the possible motive for the murder."

"Kaito Kidd, just wait until you are released from prison and then face charges for theft."

Xiang Yuanguang stood up, holding a cup of coffee, and spoke seriously.

The Shinigami elementary school student next to him shook his head and spoke in the same serious tone.

"You are wrong. There is no double jeopardy for one case. Stealing the Black Star is Kaito Kid's motive for murder."

"Therefore, if Kaito Kid's murder charge is overturned, then the motive for the murder is naturally unfounded."

"In other words, if Kaito Kid is not convicted of murder, he will not be convicted of theft either."

"Um... I want to say..."

Kuroba Kaito was grinning at this moment and wanted to say something.

However, Xiang Yuanguang took a big sip of coffee and said seriously.

"I know what you're thinking about, what if you're charged with a crime? I can assure you that you'll be innocent."

"If this case can't be solved, I will help you appeal on the spot. As long as you didn't kill anyone, there will be no problem."

"No, I want to say..."

The hedgehog-haired lawyer's eyes narrowed slightly.

He seemed to have thought of something, and then spoke seriously.

"In short, don't run away from the trial. If you run away, you will take my lawyer medal with you."

"Then I will go to your house and stop you. If I can't stop you, I will go find your parents and deal with you."

Kuroba Kaito was stunned.

What? Wasn't my dad murdered? Where are you going to find my dad?
The Death God elementary school student next to him seemed a little strange.

"You seem to have some understanding of this. What happened?"

Xiang Yuanguang sighed.

"To be honest, one of my teachers ran away because his client, a magician, was found guilty during the trial."

"As a result, his lawyer's medal was revoked by the Bar Association, and he played poker for seven years afterwards—"

"His eight-year-old daughter's magic performances are the main source of his living expenses. It's a miserable sight."

...Let’s not talk about why I played poker for seven years. Isn’t it illegal to let my daughter work to earn money?
You, as a teacher, are definitely going to go to jail. Besides, have you ever seen a case where a magician was the client?

Kuroba Kaito was frowning and finally spoke.

"I was the one who lost the magic dummy. What are you analyzing?"

"...?"

"?"

When I type a question mark, it doesn’t mean that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

Why didn't you tell me this information earlier? Now we have to investigate again.

The Hedgehog-head and the Death-grim Elementary School Student looked at each other.

They turned around in tacit understanding and the two men, one big and one small, in blue suits walked out the door as if nothing had happened.

"Ah, I think we can investigate the crime scene and Sanada Ichizo's interpersonal relationships next."

"Hasn't Koshimizu already gone to investigate Sanada Kazuzo? Let's go directly to investigate the Queen Serissabeth."

"Well, that makes sense..."

Crunch————

The door of the detention room was closed.

For some reason I feel like there is a howling north wind.

Kuroba Kaito, who seemed to be performing a behind-the-scenes show, blinked his eyes.

In fact, if Xiang Yuanguang hadn't mentioned this matter, he really planned to run away after being found guilty.

At worst, he could find a prosecutor to pretend to be him, file for a retrial, and then find the truth again——

In fact, for a magician like him, this detention center is a place where he can come and go as he pleases.

It is kept now just to give face to the police officers here.

Because... there are actually a few police officers here who are his fans.
