People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 371: Great Ace Attorney... No Way! (2)

—————May 25, 8:30 a.m.——————

—————Tokyo District, Third Court——————

Xiang Yuanguang wondered who the strongest prosecutor in Tokyo was.

But he had met so few prosecutors that he could not come to any conclusion.

And not being able to guess who the strongest prosecutor in Tokyo is means that he must be on high alert.

This was after he determined that the remaining time might not be enough to find Kawazu Hiroo to review the case.

The reason for going directly to the third courtroom in advance was to prepare for a preemptive strike.

However, when he turned around and raised his Demon Hunting Knife, he saw the man behind the prosecutor's seat...

I couldn't help but feel a little surprised and confused.

(…Prosecutor Sugiura? No, isn’t he the prosecutor from Honno Ikedai?)

(It stands to reason that he shouldn’t be in the Tokyo District Court No. 3.)
(Also, why is he the strongest prosecutor in Tokyo?)

The hedgehog-headed man stood there frozen in place without moving, until Hattori Heiji next to him poked the button on the hilt of the sword.

I am the storm that is approaching

Provoking black clouds in isolation

"…I told you not to touch the switch on my knife handle. I think you will be thrown out sooner or later."

He muttered to Yuan Guang and pressed the switch of the Demon Hunting Sword in his hand again.

Then he put down the Demon Hunting Knife and leaned it against the handle of his white food stall chair.

"Haha, I thought you were kidding me when you said the volume of this thing was so high, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"What song is this? It sounds like it has a good rhythm, but I haven't heard it before."

Hattori Heiji said a little embarrassedly, with an apologetic smile.

However, he did notice that when the BGM sounded just now, the man in the prosecutor's seat seemed a little excited.

And now it suddenly faded, which is really strange... Is there any connection between the BGM and the prosecutor of this case?

"Ahem, Attorney Xiang Yuan, that's enough. We are about to start the trial."

The bald old man at the main seat coughed twice and spoke in a serious tone.

He raised his gavel and knocked twice, also silencing the audience in the gallery.

Then, the presiding judge couldn't help but ask a question.

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, how did you get that chair behind you? I didn't see it before!"

"And where did you buy this toy samurai sword that can play songs? I want to buy one to put at home..."

Prosecutor Sugiura at the prosecutor's table suddenly raised his head.

The momentum was so strong that even his wig floated up slightly.

The famous Kansai detective who noticed this was shocked.

Prosecutor Sugiura, who is known as the strongest prosecutor in Tokyo, spoke loudly.

"Mr. Judge, please be mindful of the situation. Now is not the time to be talking about a toy samurai sword!"

"Besides, the fact that this thing could be brought to the court is even too contemptuous of the court!"

"I suggest confiscating Attorney Xiang Yuan's toy samurai sword to show the seriousness of the court!"

His sight was very bad, especially focused on Xiang Yuanguang's Demon Hunting Knife. When the BGM sounded just now, he thought his strength had caused a miracle!
The result is the music of the toy knife, which is truly unacceptable!
"A pound of pears! The music was just an accident, and it happened before the trial started!"

"The presiding judge has not yet announced the start of the trial. How can you accuse me of contempt of court?"

The hedgehog-headed lawyer slapped his hands on the table, which immediately made a dull sound.

Hearing the sound of slapping the table, Hattori Heiji immediately lowered his head and looked at the table of the defense seat.

Iron! It was completely different from the wooden table at the defense table in the courtroom in Osaka. It was actually made of iron!
(Hey, hey, hey, what on earth is going on with this Tokyo Tribunal?)
(How come even the defense seat is made of iron... No, why is it that only the defense seat is made of iron?)

(Did you deliberately replace the iron table for the defense lawyer? Is there some unknown secret?)
The truth was completely different from what the dark-skinned detective had imagined.

The defense seat was replaced with an iron table simply because Xiang Yuanguang was too violent.

By that time, the defense bench will slam the wooden table down again, and the courtroom will not be able to receive any goods for a while.

It would affect the defense of other cases, so I just replaced it with iron products.

It’s cheap, durable, and even looks very present. How great!

The lawyer and the prosecutor seemed to be arguing in court before the trial even started.

The presiding judge couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that the court was getting more outrageous every day.

It would be great if the prosecutor in this case was Guiyue Ying. At least Ying is very efficient.

Tick, tick, tick.

With a continuous bang of the gavel, the presiding judge forcefully ended the confrontation between the lawyer and the prosecutor.

He coughed twice and was about to solemnly announce the start of the trial when he finally noticed that something was wrong with the lawyer's assistant.

How come it was a girl who worked as a paralegal before, but now it’s a boy?
He looks so dark, could he be from another country...?
(Sure enough, Attorney Xiang Yuan’s style has become higher and higher, and even his legal assistants have been replaced by people from other countries.)
Resisting the urge to ask, the bald old man spoke seriously.

"This court is about to begin the trial of the [Sherlock Holmes fan murder case]. Please ask the bailiff to bring the defendant to the court."

"Then, this court will conduct a final questioning of the prosecutor and the defense in accordance with the rules and regulations."

"Excuse me, Prosecutor Sugiura, have the prosecutors completed their preparations?"

Prosecutor Sugiura reached out and fiddled with her wig, then nodded.

"Of course the prosecutors and prosecutors are ready, and the trial can begin at any time!"

After saying that, he did not forget to take out a handkerchief from his pocket and wipe the sweat from his forehead...the ceiling was leaking.

After all, he is an elite prosecutor who has been undefeated for three years. How could he be sweating profusely before the trial even begins!

Obviously, in the eyes of the presiding judge, Prosecutor Sugiura's performance did not seem to be well prepared.

He shook his head, not intending to ask any more questions, and turned to look at Xiang Yuanguang in the defense seat.

"Excuse me, has the defense completed its preparations for this case?"

He nodded without thinking, not even knowing where to take out a cup of coffee.

In front of Hattori Heiji's indifferent look, he took a sip.

Make sure that both the defense and prosecutors' preparations are complete.

The presiding judge waited for a while and saw the bailiff bringing the defendant Kawazu Hiroo to the dock.

Then he lowered the gavel and announced it seriously and solemnly.

"Then, this court declares that the trial of the murder case of Sherlock Holmes fans has officially begun!"
