People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 337 Magic, leading to the cheers of reversal (52)

Although among normal women, Machiko Dai is also considered to be one of those who have supernatural powers.

But it is still a little bit inferior to Xiang Yuanguang, the humanoid Star Platinum who has both A strength and speed.

"...I don't think this matter is the key to this trial."

The hedgehog-haired lawyer stood next to the main seat and whispered.

And heavy footsteps sounded from outside.

With the help of several forensic police officers, Machiko Dai brought in the magic props used by the deceased.

This is a transparent box, with a length and width ranging from 1.2 to 1.5 meters, and a height of 2.5 meters.

Because the props used for construction are glass, they are transparent——————

However, one box alone cannot fully restore the situation at that time, because the box was not empty during the performance.

The reason why it is called a water tank escape is naturally because the transparent box is filled with water.

"…But now is not the time to add water because we are still missing some special tools."

"Because the lid of the water tank performance actually also acts as a shackle and fastener for the magician."

Kensuke Kumimon gently patted the standing water tank next to him.

"The water tank cover used in the magic show was taken away by the police as evidence."

"So, Prosecutor Kujo, you should have seen the evidence application form I submitted yesterday, right?"

"Can that piece of evidence appear on the evidence stand in the Grand Court now?"

The legendary lawyer's words immediately made the presiding judge nod his head.

He looked at Prosecutor Reiko Kujo at the prosecutor's table and urged her.

"Since the defense lawyer has already submitted an evidence application, and this piece of evidence is indeed related to the case."

"Then it should be presented as evidence in the Grand Court. Please ask Prosecutor Kujo to present it."

...In theory, the lid used in the water tank escape magic show was the real murder weapon.

Reiko Kujo, who was standing at the prosecutor's seat on the other side, did not deny what Kumimon said.

Because this was indeed something we had discussed yesterday.

She looked at the bailiff at the door and then spoke.

"Please bring the evidence you have collected to the evidence stand in the Grand Courtroom."

"Now the Grand Court needs to use this evidence to review the case."

The bailiff who received the order nodded hurriedly, opened the door of the grand courtroom and left.

When he heard the sound of the door behind him, Gu Meimen raised the corners of his mouth again, as if he was very confident.

He looked calmly at Xiang Yuanguang who was still standing in the defense seat.

"I remember you were called the Black Magician in the Case of the Kaito Kid Murders, right?"

"If you are a magician, then you should know how to use a magic dummy, right?"

"Please help me enlarge this magic dummy I brought here to normal size."

Hearing this, the hedgehog-headed lawyer showed a look of strong disapproval.

I agreed to do my own things, so why am I still doing his things?
But even if I disagree, I have already made the commitment to find the truth.

Of course, we must follow through to the end...

Xiang Yuanguang took three or two steps to the side of Gu Meimon and glanced at Gu Meimon next to him.

Then, he sneered and said bluntly.

"It seems that you are really out of touch with the times and have a generation gap, uncle."

"Did you not understand the instructions when you bought the magic dummy?"

"Or did you buy a product without any instructions?"

The legendary lawyer raised his brows, feeling his self-esteem hurt.

He was just planning to use the weapon of criticism to let this ignorant new lawyer know how powerful he is.

But then he thought that the other party might use the weapon of criticism to defeat his weapon of criticism.

Gu Meimen coughed twice calmly, too lazy to get involved with this blue Sonic.

"But I am very curious since you brought such a magic dummy."

"You've brought the water tank over again. Do you really want to add water to the tank and perform the magic again?" The hedgehog-headed lawyer twisted his hand casually, and the inflatable dummy suddenly filled up.

However, this one is obviously incomparable to Kaito Kid's, at least there are no clothes.

If you have to say it, it's a bit like a training dummy used for first aid.

But since it is a fast-inflating version, the quality may not be as good as that of the practice dummy.

(And the first aid training dummies can be found near the courtroom.)
(Did this guy get taken advantage of or what?)
Xiang Genguang glanced at Gu Meimen next to him.

Crunch——————

At this time, several bailiffs also arrived with other evidence in the case.

And as they placed the evidence on the testimony table and projected it on the big screen.

Everyone finally understood why Gu Meimen said that the tank cover was a foot shackle and a fixator.

"Isn't this just a foot collar? It's just incredibly thick!"

The presiding judge in the main seat exclaimed.

However, other legal professionals did not make as much of a fuss as the presiding judge.

Especially prosecutor Reiko Kujo, who had known about the situation of these evidences for a long time.

She just tapped the table calmly and explained the evidence.

"No, this is indeed the lid of the water tank. If you put it on top of the water tank, it will fit perfectly."

"It just doubles as a foot shackle, with handles deliberately left on both ends of the lid."

Before Prosecutor Kujo finished speaking, Kumimon rushed to continue explaining.

As if afraid of being overshadowed, he pointed to the handle on the outer edge of the standing water tank.

"Your Excellency, as you can see, if you fit the lid into the top opening of the tank."

"You will be stuck by the handles at both ends and will not be able to continue falling. Now close the openings of the two handles."

"Then, add a lock on each side to complete the tank escape box preparation."

The reason why the legendary lawyer said it was box preparation.

But if you do this, the magician won't be able to get in, so this should be the next step.

So he signaled to Dai Machiko to lift up the magic dummy she had brought.

Then, he spoke righteously.

"If we want to recreate the entire process of the crime, we have to use the magic props from that time."

"Mr. Judge, I would like to use a magic dummy to replace Keisuke Tsuruoka who died three years ago."

"Then, recreate the murder case disguised as a magic accident."

As soon as these words were spoken, many of the audience in the gallery immediately turned their heads to look at the old judge sitting in the main seat.

The presiding judge felt a little embarrassed as he was being stared at by everyone.

He subconsciously reached out to touch his bald head, but felt that it would damage the image of the Tribunal.

It sounds a bit ridiculous to directly use the tools used in the crime to reenact the crime scene.

However, the Tokyo District Court has always been like this.

After coughing twice, the presiding judge nodded, but added one sentence.

"Since the defense lawyer has stated this, this court naturally has no reason to reject it."

"It's just that, in order to ensure the integrity of the magic props involved at the time, you are not allowed to add water to the water tank."

"If you can accept this... then please start simulating the murder magic that was performed at that time."

His gaze slightly shifted towards Yuan Guang.

Although it looked like Kumito was in a dilemma, this was actually his plan.

If you say at the beginning that you want to use the magic props from the crime scene to simulate the crime scene, you will be rejected.

Then as long as you add a little more water to the original basis, the presiding judge will lower his own passing requirements.

"That's a shame, but I think this scenario can be completely simulated without real water."

Gu Meimen pretended to sigh, then turned around and said proudly.

"What are you waiting for? Dai, let's get started!"
