People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 282 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (9)

—————May 21, 5:30 p.m.——————

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

"As expected, this is the last time I come to see you today. We will see you in court after that."

The hedgehog-haired lawyer slammed the case information records in his hand on the table and said calmly.

"Hmm...ah, where is the little brother in the blue suit who always acted with you before?"

Kuroba Kaito was not surprised by this. In fact, he was even surprised that Genkou would come to see him one day.

After all, after being opened the box and killed offline, he already knew almost everything about Xiang Yuanguang.

It is said that the Beika Town Dragon has extraordinary fighting power and can fight against a hundred people alone. He has also been given a new title of the Immortal Dragon.

He made three defenses. The first time he created a typical case of cross-trial. The second time he tricked the real murderer Asakura Mirei out. The third time he sent all the members of the court except the bailiff to prison.

There is actually not much information about the third defense. If Kuroba Kaito was not well-informed, he probably wouldn't have known about this matter.

After all, it was a hot news that was suppressed by the officials of the four countries.

With the credibility and ability of the legendary lawyer in front of him, Kuroba Kaito can be sure that if the other party really believes that he is innocent, then he can be innocent.

Therefore, the magician high school student was in a quite relaxed mood. He put his hands on his shoulders and spoke with Kudo Shinichi's hairstyle.

Asked a question that the real Kudo Shinichi would never ask.

"…It is said that he was captured by Uncle Maori and brought back to accompany Maori Ran. Xiaolan was very sad because [you] were imprisoned."

"Although I don't think you know much about Kudo Shinichi, you still know about interpersonal relationships, right?"

Xiang Yuanguang clapped the court records in his hand and said softly.

In response to this, Kuroba Kaito nodded somewhat embarrassedly. This was just a temporary solution.

At worst, after appearing in court, he can send out an invitation letter, play the role of Kudo Shinichi, and let Grandpa Terai play the role of Kaito Kid, and have a rival scene with him.

In that case, the rumor will be self-defeating, after all, it is impossible for a person to be in two places at the same time.

"Let's not talk about that. This morning I went to investigate the scene and I met Kuroba Kaito. He helped me review the crime scene."

"So, I want to ask you a question, are you Kaito Kidd?"

The Hedgehog Head spoke in a calm tone, but he had actually activated the [Heart Lock]. As long as the other party answered, the truth would be revealed.

Although, he had already guessed the true identity of the other [Kuroba Kaito].

"Of course I am Kaito Kidd, absolutely. You said you saw Kuroba Kaito? That's impossible, right?"

"He should be in bed now because he has a cold and has taken a week-long vacation."

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and Kuroba Kaito was no longer as casual and calm as before, but became serious.

Grandpa Terai's disguise skills are not good enough, and his body shape is also different. He can only do a little bit of tricks at best if he stays at home lying in bed.

How is it possible to go to the crime scene in person to do something like [Replay the Magic]?

(If it wasn't Grandpa Terai, who else would have disguised themselves as me and gone to the crime scene?)
(And it sounds like he is helping me. Is he someone who knows my true identity?)

Kuroba Kaito's thoughts instantly flashed back to the phone call he made with Terai Huangzhisuke before going to the police station.

If this is the cover prepared by Grandpa Terai, it does make sense...but to be able to do this, he must be very powerful.

(Who could this person be? Knowing my identity, he could quickly review the magic according to the situation on the spot.)
(Who could this person be?)
Kuroba Kaito remained calm on the surface, but in fact he had already begun to think hard in secret. Xiang Yuanguang had no intention of interrupting his brainstorming, so he just knocked on the table and said seriously.

"I suspect that Sanada Ichizo committed the murder, but I have no way of investigating his motives because I cannot enter the Miracle Magic Group."

"So, I will adjourn the first day of the trial, get the investigation permission from the presiding judge, and then go there to conduct an investigation."

"In addition, the family of the deceased, Kujuku Motoyasu, his wife, Kujuku Nanae, found me."

Xiang Yuanguang's next words attracted Kuroba Kaito's attention.

Before committing a theft, he would always research the area around him.

As the saying goes, a magician never performs without preparation, and part of the preparation work includes investigating the Miracle Magic Troupe.

For example, Jiujiu Yuankang’s family situation, interpersonal relationships, etc.

Originally, Kuroba Kaito had the idea of ​​disguising himself as the other party's family member and sneaking in, but he gave up after discovering that Kyujuku Motoyasu had a daughter.

Although this kind of thing may not necessarily reach the ears of Jiujiu Yuankang's daughter, it is better not to happen.

However, the high school magician himself never thought that his performance would indirectly lead to the death of another person.

"Kujuu Nanae? What did she say? She hopes you will give up this commission?"

Kuroba Kaito's tone was somewhat heavy.

Xiang Yuanguang shook his head. His voice was very calm, but there was an indescribable meaning in it.

"She was introduced by her good friend, who is also my senior in the legal profession, Attorney Eri Kisaki."

"Kujuu Nanae knows my reputation, so she didn't ask me to give up the commission, but to find the truth of this case."

"I promised her that I would find out the truth, bring the criminal to trial, and give her an explanation."

The hedgehog-haired lawyer's tone became heavy, almost like a sigh.

"Similar things happen all the time in this world, and people with similar situations die every day."

"Kaito Kidd, next time you perform, please do more research, so that no one will kill people in your name again."

Kuroba Kaito nodded silently.

crunch————

The chair was pulled away and the hedgehog-headed lawyer stood up. He looked at the cheap watch on his wrist and then spoke again solemnly.

"The court will open at 8:30 tomorrow morning. I will be involved in the investigation process on the first day. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to get you acquitted on the second day."

"Before that, you better not try to break out of jail or escape from court, or I'll go to Las Vegas and ask your parents to punish you."

"With that said, I'll take my leave."

Xiang Yuanguang left with the documents in a decisive manner, leaving Kuroba Kaito lost in thought.

This is the second time that Hedgehog Head has mentioned asking his parents to cure him. The first time might have been a slip of the tongue, but what about the second time?
A hint of doubt appeared in the magician's high school student's eyes. Could it be that his father was not dead?

That doesn't make sense. If he's not dead, why didn't he even send a letter after all these years?

Weird… Las Vegas, huh?

Just check it out after you get out.
