People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 37 Prelude to Moon Shadow Island
Takashi Matsuo was arrested urgently.

Several years after the All Japan Detective Agency unit was broadcast on the Nichiren Television Editorial Department.

The program host Takashi Matsuo and the program producer Michihiko Yawata.

At this time, one was going to prison and the other had already gone to hell.

After being pushed into the police car, Takashi Matsuo turned his head and looked at Yuan Guang.

He said in a heavy tone, puzzled.

"Xiang Yuanguang, how did you know that I had killed someone at that time?"

"If you didn't know about this, I wouldn't have been arrested after the show was over."

Xiang Yuanguang smiled awkwardly and touched the back of his head.

Yes, how did you know?

He touched his lawyer badge guiltily and replied.

"Maybe this is the sixth sense of a dead-end lawyer. After all, I'm an undefeated lawyer since my debut."

The lawyer who has never lost since his debut...

I didn't expect that I would be defeated by a lawyer who talked nonsense and a third-rate detective.

Takashi Matsuo was stunned. It was only after the detective next to him pushed him that he got into the police car.

Beep, beep, beep…

The police car drove away, and the editorial office of Nichimei TV outside the window was getting farther and farther away.

Matsuo Takashi felt more and more melancholy.

The program I have worked hard on for so many years, the place where I have worked for so many years.

From today on, all of that is gone.

"…Which court will I be sent to for trial this time? Who will be the prosecutor?"

The host gave a bitter smile.

Inspector Megure, who was sitting in the front row, said without turning his head.

"You're lucky. Your opponent this time is not Prosecutor Kuma or Prosecutor Gold."

"It's Attorney Hime's old rival... Prosecutor Kujo Reiko."

(Kujo Reiko... the famous prosecutor?)
Matsuo Takashi had heard of this name.

Reiko Kujo is the ace of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office and is known as the "Madonna of the prosecutor world." Some time ago, she left Tokyo and went to the United States across the ocean to study law, but unexpectedly she is back now.

Her position in the prosecutor's circle is like that of Eri Kisaki in the lawyer's circle. Even compared to the numerous famous detectives in Japan today, she is probably a very outstanding figure.

"I see. I see. It seems that I am indeed lucky."

"This way I can face the trial with peace of mind."

Looking at the ceiling of the police car, Takashi Matsuo closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Tick, tick, tick.

Asai Narimi was preparing to leave the Nichimi TV editorial department.

He had come here before because he had heard that Xiang Yuanguang would appear as a special guest on the show.

Now that the show has failed, he naturally has no reason to stay here.

However, when he arrived at the underground parking lot, he unexpectedly heard a familiar voice.

"Where are you going? Asai Narimi, no... Asai Narimi-san."

"Are you going to Moon Shadow Island to take revenge on those people?"

Xiang Yuanguang walked out from behind the pillar of the underground parking lot.

His fingers kept tapping on his lawyer's medal.

The golden lawyer's medal carries with it an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Want to kill but don't want to kill, then send an invitation to the detective to stop yourself."

"In the end, his murder methods were discovered, and he died with peace of mind and guilt?"

Asai Narimi's hand, which was pressing on the car door, was shaking.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He looked incredulous. Did Xiang Yuanguang discover his true identity? When? What was wrong?
The reason why Asai Narumi was so surprised was because of his collaboration experience with Xiang Yuanguang three years ago.

In his memory, Xiang Yuanguang was a top defense lawyer and a first-class intimidator.

His observation skills and evidence-collecting abilities are hard to describe in a few words. The only thing he is good at is finding verbal loopholes through clues and making arguments in court.

(Did they discover my true identity when they were investigating Moon Shadow Island three years ago? Or has Lawyer Xiang Yuan been investigating during these three years?)

(In the pursuit of fairness and justice, lawyer Xiang Yuan never disappoints anyone.)
Asai Narimi shook his head, relaxed, and simply leaned against his car.

"Although Attorney Xiang Yuan said that he had an accident and couldn't remember what happened before, I still remain skeptical..."

"Do you still remember? Three years ago, you testified against your client, the village chief of Moon Shadow Island?"

"He's dead. He had a heart attack after the verdict was handed down due to anxiety and fear, and eventually died in prison."

"Before he died, I visited him in prison, using my real identity and the conversation skills you taught me... I realized that there was another hidden story behind my father's death."

The male doctor, who looked more like a girl than any other girl, stared at Xiang Yuanguang.

His voice became serious and earnest.

The words that were spoken also forced Xiang Yuanguang to take them seriously.

"In the past three years, I have thoroughly investigated the truth of what happened. Lawyer Xiang Yuan, my father did not commit suicide, but was murdered."

"I will avenge my father, no matter what means I use...even if it means my hands are covered in blood like those murderers."

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, I know you want to help me and stop me from committing crimes. But in my eyes, there is no other way to complete my revenge except this method."

"Please tell me about a case that has been defined as suicide and closed for twelve years..."

"Even if I knew who the murderer was, how could I reopen the investigation process? How could I bring the murderer who was deemed innocent by the police and prosecutors twelve years ago to justice?"

"Lawyer Xiang Yuanguang, you can't prove that they are guilty, right?"

"..."

Xiang Yuanguang didn't say anything. He looked at Asai Chengmi without avoiding.

One second, two seconds...silence, still silence.

No one spoke.

pat.

Asai Narumi opened the car door and was about to get in and leave, but he heard Xiang Yuanguang's voice.

"Lawyer Xiang Yuanguang is not available. So, what about prosecutor Gold?"

Prosecutor Gold... a mysterious prosecutor who has only recently appeared.

It is said that her first appearance in court broke the undefeated myth of the famous queen of the legal world, Eri Kisaki.

What does Xiang Yuanguang mean when he suddenly says this?
Asai Narimi was puzzled.

Until he saw a photo in Xiang Yuanguang's mobile phone.

That was a picture of the head instrument that Prosecutor Gold was wearing.

"I am lawyer Xiang Yuanguang. I am also prosecutor Gold."

"I will prove those four men guilty...trust me."

Maybe it's distrust or some other reason.

In the end, Asai Narumi didn't say anything else to Xiang Yuanguang.

At the last moment before the vehicle drove away, he heard Xiang Yuanguang's final warning.

"If you kill someone, you can never go back."

(If I can get revenge... I don't care what happens to my life.)
(Thank you, Attorney Yuanguang, for helping me find the truth about my father's death three years ago.)
(But, the final step of revenge still needs to be taken by me.)
Watching Asai Narimi's car getting farther and farther away.

Sighing to Yuan Guang.

Dial the number on the phone.

Drop, drop, drop.

"Conan, I will write an invitation letter to Tsukikage Island under the name of Keiji Aso and send it to the Maori Office."

"...Yes, that's it. I'll leave the matter of Moon Shadow Island to you."
