People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 331 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (46)

—————May 23, 8:30 a.m.——————

—————Tokyo District, Grand Court——————

The original purpose of creating the Grand Inquisition was not to conduct staggered trials.

Instead, it is used specifically for those serious cases that have a particularly significant impact on society.

It was just that the staggered trial mechanism left over from the dissolution of the old Ministry of Justice gave the Grand Court other uses.

Looking at the two prosecutor's seats and defense seats spread out like an X in front of me.

Xiang Yuanguang's eyes were filled with nostalgia, even though it was only a month ago that he last entered the Grand Court...

But it always gives people the illusion that a long time has passed.

Knock, knock, knock.

The presiding judge banged the gavel several times.

He looked at Xiang Yuanguang who was standing at the door and spoke immediately.

"The interleaved trials of the [Kaito Kid Murder Case] ​​and the [Magician Serial Murder Case] ​​are about to begin."

"Please come to the defense table, Mr. Xiang Yuan, and wait for the trial to begin."

The hedgehog-headed lawyer nodded, and he quickly came to the familiar position——————

Well, the tables in other places are all made of wood, only the one he uses is made of iron.

In a sense, it is a privilege of the Tribunal that only he can obtain.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu, the legal assistant, did not come along this time.

She said there were some things she needed to confirm, so she took action with Uncle Maori and the others.

However, Xiang Yuanguang does not think that he can't do anything alone.

(The last time I entered the Grand Courtroom of the Cross Trial, I was also alone.)
(I could do it that time, and I can do it this time, too.)
The hedgehog-haired lawyer's eyes became firm.

And in his sight, the two prosecutors at the prosecutor's seat cannot be ignored.

The prosecutor of the Kaito Kid murder case and her former rival, the young prosecutor Onitsuki Hotaru.

There is also the ace prosecutor Reiko Kujo who was said to have set up a guidance bureau for Hotaru Kizuki last time, but ended up having her defense broken.

It is said that these accidents, which were originally considered unrelated, can be combined and reopened for investigation.

This is the result that prosecutor Kujo Reiko achieved after overcoming all objections.

From this perspective, this Madonna of prosecutors is not completely useless.

"...Xiang Yuanguang, we meet again."

Reiko Kujo, who was standing at one of the prosecutors' seats, looked back at the hedgehog.

It can be seen that the prosecutor's attitude towards Xiang Yuanguang is not very friendly.

But most likely it’s because he always suffers a crushing defeat in front of Xiang Yuanguang, which brings him some unpleasant feeling... ?
Prosecutor Kujo's gaze only stayed on Genmitsu Mukai for a moment before turning to the other empty defense seat.

The lawyer who uses all sorts of nonsense words and evidence to get the results he wants.

Kensuke Kumemon has not appeared in the Grand Court until now.

Could it be that he was afraid of the atmosphere of such a dignified tribunal?

(Perhaps he was worried about losing the case. I guess he gave up in order to keep himself undefeated.)
(The prosecutor Gui Yue Liu Yun, who was in charge of the Yueying Island case, did the same thing.)
(I guess this undefeated ace lawyer from somewhere else is the same.)
The calm prosecutor tapped lightly on the hard cover of the folder with his fingers.

After all, not every lawyer can be truly undefeated like her nemesis, Eri Kisaki.

However, at this moment, Kensuke Kumemon was standing in the corridor outside the Grand Court.

He was wearing a black suit and had a hairstyle that showed off his temperament very well.

There was a speechless look on his face. He looked at his watch and confirmed the time.

Finally, I couldn't help but want to shout out loud——————and then Dai Machiko appeared in a panic.

"Lawyer! Why is the way to the Grand Court so roundabout?"

"It took me a long time to find my way here from the Third Court of Inquisition..."

Looking at the flustered and busy rookie lawyer, the corner of Gu Meimen's eye twitched.

It is said that someone will naturally take care of Kujuku Bunno's affairs, and your help is not needed.

At night, I followed the police to look for someone, and when I woke up, I was dazed and took the wrong road...

"I say you better curb your empathy, which is inappropriate for a lawyer!"

"The previous case you were in charge of was also like this, and the evidence broke through the defense of your client!"

"You can lose a case that you can easily win. You can't let such a ridiculous reason as being late cause you to lose..."

Crunch——————

The bailiff stuck his head out and looked at Kumimon and Machiko Dai who were standing at the door.

His eyes were particularly focused on the stack of case documents that Machiko Dai was holding.

I couldn't help but shake my head, wondering how Kumimon could be so ungentlemanly.

It is really rude to let a girl handle so much case information.

But this is the firm's own business, and the bailiff has no reason to interfere.

he shouted.

"The Chief Inquisitor is asking why you have not yet arrived at the Grand Court."

"Come in quickly, or you will be in trouble if the judge gets angry!"

Tick, tick, tick.

The sound of brisk footsteps came first, followed by slightly heavy footsteps.

Whether it's Xiang Yuanguang, Kujo Reiko, or Kigetsu Hotaru.

Everyone's eyes fell on Kensuke Kumemon and Machiko Dai who came in from the door.

It's mainly because of Machiko Dai, the new female lawyer.

Holding a large stack of case documents, he followed behind Gu Meimen as if nothing had happened.

(…By the way, it seems that the only girl I met was Suzuki Sonoko.)
(Each force value is super high...)
Xiang Yuanguang's gaze became inexplicably heavy.

The old presiding judge in the main seat saw two late lawyers standing at the defense table on the other side.

Then he nodded, banged the gavel, and lowered the signal.

"Since the two defense lawyers and the two prosecutors are here."

"Then, this court will begin investigating the [Kaito Kid Murder Case] ​​and the [Magician Serial Murder Case]..."

"We are conducting a staggered trial. May I ask if the prosecutor has completed his preparations?"

The young prosecutor standing on the prosecution side said softly.

"Yes, the prosecutors are ready."

On the other side, Reiko Kujo at the prosecutor's seat also nodded slightly.

Then the presiding judge looked at the three defense lawyers.

"So, is the defense ready?"

The hedgehog-haired lawyer nodded.

"Certainly, the defense has completed its preparations to present its defense."

On the other side, Kumimon said with a smile.

"Things like that are obvious, and the defense's opinion is certainly well prepared."

In response, the old presiding judge nodded and banged the gavel.

"Then, please ask the bailiff to bring the defendants of the two cases to the courtroom and take their seats."

"Then, this court hereby declares... the staggered trial begins!"
