People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 291 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (18)

Such evidence can prove the existence of [two] Kaito Kids?

Whether it is Chiba Kazunobu, Kizuki Hotaru, or the Chief Judge.

Everyone was shocked at this moment. Where did this come from?

Wasn’t the possibility just proposed to Yuan Guang already refuted by Gui Yueying’s argument?

The young prosecutor was a little confused, and she gently wrapped her fingers around the hair that extended from her temples.

Her reasoning? Is there a contradiction between her reasoning and this evidence?

So, now based on these evidences, let’s replay the scenario again to test…?
No, there is no time for her to review the situation in court.

In Shikoku, her father was the main player, and she only had to review the game from the side. Now she is the main player.

There is definitely no extra time to conduct a complete review of the situation.

(Yueshui said that this piece of evidence itself can prove that there are two Kaito Kids?)
(Does it mean that just by bringing this up, it already contradicts Kizuki Hotaru's reasoning?)

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin, thoughtfully.

He took out another cup of coffee from somewhere and took a sip.

The bailiff standing at the door was startled by what he saw, but he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily it was just coffee, otherwise it might have been a magic prop inside a salute.

I guess his salary evaluation for this month... no, his salary evaluation for next month has come to an end.

"Really? The existence of this piece of evidence already contradicts Prosecutor Guiyue's reasoning."

"Then, please point out this contradiction, the defense..."

The presiding judge was surprised as he looked through the case process submitted by Gui Yueying in his hand.

However, I don't see how this piece of evidence contradicts the reasoning of the case.

But if he said directly that he felt there was no contradiction, he would probably be hit in the face by the magic of wind.

Therefore, the presiding judge wisely kicked the ball back to the defense seat and asked Xiang Yuanguang to explain.

(The existence of the evidence itself contradicts Gui Yueying's reasoning...contradictory...)
(Is that so? Then, the contradiction could only be this.)
The hedgehog-headed magician nodded, then he patted the court records in his hands.

He spoke thoughtfully.

"I think the biggest contradiction between this piece of evidence and Prosecutor Guiyue's reasoning about the crime process is [time]."

Hearing this, Gui Yueying at the prosecutor's seat was a little surprised.

time? What time?
Was there a timing issue in her reasoning because of this piece of evidence?

"That's right, it's [Time]. Prosecutor Kizuki said that Kaito Kid shot and killed Ninety-Nine Yuankang..."

"After taking the Black Star, you went directly to the top of the Queen Serissabeth, right?"

He said lightly, shrugging towards Yuan Guang.

"In that case, there should be only one magic puppet of Kaito Kid on the field."

"Because after Kaito Kid used the magic puppet as a cover to kill people, he went directly to the top floor."

"And because the hang glider was damaged, we tied the magic puppet to the hang glider and slid out."

"In other words, the magic puppet used as a deception should be the one on the sea——"

However, what Chiba Kazunobu saw at that time was a magic puppet that was used as a decoy.

But it was not the one on the sea, but the one hidden in the secret room prepared by Ninety-nine Yuankang on the Queen Serissabeth...

The hidden magic doll of Kaito Kid with a monocle.

At this moment, even the chubby Detective Chiba reacted.

He clapped his hands as if he suddenly realized something and spoke loudly.

"Since the magic doll used as a decoy appeared in the secret room, it is impossible for Kaito Kidd to go to the top of Queen Serissabeth, otherwise he would not have time to hide the magic doll!"

That’s right, this is what Nanatsuki Koshimizu said. The existence of this evidence itself is inconsistent with the deduced process of the crime - the contradiction in time cannot be reconciled.

The pupils of the young prosecutor have lost focus. If it were the set of Gundam SEED, then this might be a burst of energy, about to start killing indiscriminately.

But this was a court trial, so Guiyue Ying simply used her ability to review the situation.

If the evidence submitted to Yuan Guang does exist, then there is a time contradiction.

Coupled with the differences in details and materials between the magic dolls, this is indeed strong proof.

But... who said that the Kaito Kidd who hid the magic doll was the murderer and not the real person?

Gui Yueying's fingers lightly lingered on the strand of hair hanging down from her temple.

Spinning slowly, the mind is turning, resulting in new answers.

At this time, the presiding judge also felt that the explanation given by the defense was reasonable.

After all, the differences in the magic puppets can be explained, but the inconsistencies in time are irreconcilable.

So the old judge nodded and struck the gavel.

"This court believes that the defense's claim is valid. There should indeed be two Kaito Kids in this case."

"Otherwise, Kaito Kidd wouldn't be able to appear in two places at the same time."

Mao Lilan, who was sitting in the audience, was excited.

In this way, Shinichi's innocence can be proved, right?
However, the real Kudo Shinichi, Edogawa Conan next to Mao Lilan shook his head.

Things are not that simple, although Gui Yueying was defeated by Xiang Yuanguang.

But this does not mean that the other party is weak, it just means that he has just graduated from college and lacks experience.

(If I were the prosecutor, I would have the possibility of catching two Kaito Kids.)
(It is said that the one who kills is Kaito Kid himself, and the one who steals is Kaito Kid imitator.)
(Because Xiang Yuan couldn't produce any evidence to prove that the murderer was not Kaito Kid.)
As expected, the young prosecutor knocked on the table and then spoke rudely.

"Yes, if we follow this line of thought, there may indeed be two Kaito Kidds in this case."

"But here comes the question, how are you going to prove that the Kaito Kid who killed people was not the real one?"

...What does it mean to prove that the Kaito Kid who killed people is not the real one?

The hedgehog-headed lawyer began to feel ashamed this time.

This proof question is too tricky. Does he have such evidence?
Kaito Kidd doesn't use live ammunition? But this can't be used as evidence...

After all, that's just Kaito Kid's style of doing things, and the possibility of changing his style cannot be ruled out.

"It seems that the defense has no way to prove that the murderer Kaito Kidd is not the real one."

"In that case, Detective Chiba will leave first. The prosecutor requests a summons—"

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up!
The verbal bomb is launched!
"You're under a lot of pressure! The defense hasn't even finished questioning yet. It's too early to make a substitution now!"

Xiang Yuanguang suddenly raised his head and said bluntly.

The strong wind blowing in her face made the young prosecutor unable to stand and she retreated repeatedly.

But for everyone in the court except Kaito Kid and Chiba Kazunobu.

Not only was he not curious about Xiang Yuanguang's wind magic, but he was actually somewhat relieved.

After all, the wind magician doesn’t have much time left to use wind magic.

The hedgehog-headed magician pointed at Chiba Kazunobu who was at the testimony stand.

"I want to object to the witness's sixth statement [I saw Kaito Kid appear near the second-floor corridor of the deck and shot and killed Ninety-nine Yuankang], and I ask the prosecutor to show the deceased's autopsy report!"

"In addition to this, I would like to inquire about the witness's seventh statement [After that, Kaito Kid dropped his gun, turned around and disappeared from my sight]. The defense believes that Detective Chiba's testimony is unclear and needs further supplementation!"

Detective Chiba was at the testimony desk and had originally planned to happily go home and play games after get off work.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but look bitter.

Oh my God, is it inevitable that his salary assessment will fail?

Although for Tokyo Criminal Division detectives like them, salary assessment does not affect their lives that much.

But having a salary is better than having no salary!
