People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 388: Great Ace Attorney... No Way! (19)

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

The presiding judge banged the gavel, put the handwriting identification report aside, and said seriously.

"According to the evidence and reasoning submitted by the defense."

"Whether it's the case of Kanaya Yuichi or the case of Oki Ayako."

"The witness Kento Toba is likely to have committed the crime."

"Please ask the witness to give corresponding testimony in the case of Fujisawa Toshiaki immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

The bald old man rarely showed his majesty.

This immediately had a deterrent effect on Kento Toba again.

The murderer who called himself a detective had a changed expression, as if he had a disease——————

But it doesn’t matter. Even if he really has a seizure in court, Xiang Yuanguang will use a big dice to wake him up.

Kento Toba had to choose between reason and physics.

"I...I, this, I..."

"He didn't prove that I was the one who killed him. Is it enough to convict me just because it's more likely?"

"You are simply ridiculous, so ridiculous! The system is not as reasonable as the British Empire!"

Toba Kento said angrily.

It seems that reading the Sherlock Holmes series really messed up my brain.

The British Empire is so great, why don’t you immigrate there?
You kid want to get on the train and see the collegial bench of the British Empire, right?

With a sneer, Xiang Yuanguang completely ignored Toba Kento's dying struggle.

He snapped his fingers and turned his hand, pointing to the evidence table.

"My paralegal has mentioned this before. We just need to determine who is closest to the rag. That person is the murderer."

"But this reasoning has flaws and loopholes, because the murderer doesn't necessarily have to go there to put the rag."

"He can throw it, he can drop it, he can even deliberately put a fake one to cover up his tracks."

"So whoever is closest to the rag is the murderer, which is not appropriate."

"But the positions of the people in the room can indeed help us find the face of the real murderer."

...The positions of everyone in the room?

Prosecutor Sugiura frowned, although he was no longer planning to speak.

But I won't give up thinking completely, but will seriously judge the situation.

As of now, Kento Toba is a fake detective and the real murderer.

Therefore, the testimonies, reasoning, and evidence previously provided by Kento Toba may all be false.

Therefore, we should completely ignore the influence brought by Kento Toba and think from another perspective.

(Tell Yuan Guang the location of the room, if this can be used to identify the real murderer.)
(…If we put Ye Yanren in the position of the murderer in advance and make inferences, what can we get?)

The elite prosecutor was thinking, and he subconsciously reached out to fiddle with his wig.

Although, there was nothing there, he was just fiddling with the air.

No one at the scene cared about what was happening to Prosecutor Sugiura at the prosecutor's table.

It was as if his presence, which could be ignored by the automatic sensor door, had worked.

As long as he didn't speak, everyone tacitly assumed that he, the prosecutor, didn't exist in the courtroom at all.

"The murderer's trajectory was simple: turning off the lights and attacking Fujisawa Toshiaki with an ice pick."

"Then he came to the window, smashed the glass with a chair, and quietly put the chair back to its original position."

"It's actually a good idea to create the illusion that the murderer escaped through the window."

"If this method is used, at least Inspector Shiratori, who was on duty that day, would lose several hairs."

"It's a pity that you gave up in order to become a detective and to find someone to take the blame for you." Xiang Yuanguang tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers.

He said it calmly, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Toba Kento's heart.

"But this is also your brilliance, if you hadn't become this [detective]."

"As long as Inspector Shiratori finds out that the murderer didn't actually escape from the Mycroft Hotel."

"You, who are closest to the window, will definitely be arrested as the murderer by Inspector Shiratori."

“After becoming a [detective], I can actually take advantage of the stereotype of this identity.”

"I have invisibly separated myself from the suspects and have become independent from the development of the case."

It’s like when the police arrive at a crime scene, they will never immediately identify the detective as a suspect.

However, Kento Toba, the fake detective, is still too inexperienced.

If it was the missing high school detective Junya Tokatsu who came.

There is absolutely no reason why this case can be solved so easily.

(But, even compared to Tokitsu Junya, you are still far behind, which is really impressive.)
(So-called detective literature enthusiasts, if they have no experience and knowledge to back them up, can only go so far.)
(Not everyone can be a detective who is not a detective like Yusaku Kudo.)
"Now, you have taken off your disguise as a detective with your own hands."

"Think carefully about everyone's position. Aren't you the person closest to the window?"

"Do you know who Kawazu Yuo, the person you testified against, is? He is a physical education teacher."

"You can only hurt Fujisawa Toshiaki's arm if you stab him with your ice pick."

"But a stab from Kawazu Hiroo with an ice pick could instantly destroy his arm."

"If he also intended to kill people, but his theoretical score was similar to yours, isn't that ridiculous?"

Xiang Yuanguang put his hands in the pockets of his blue coat.

He walked towards the testimony stand again and approached Kento Toba behind the testimony stand again.

Although the surface seems calm, in fact, anger is surging.

If it weren't for the fact that Kento Toba didn't want to say anything more now.

He could let this guy experience what it felt like to be blown away by a tornado.

"The same is true for Fujisawa Toshiaki's case. You are also a major suspect."

"You are the main suspect in all three murders that occurred in the same location within a short period of time."

"When coincidences like these are added together, they can no longer be called coincidences, but facts."

"Kento Toba, since you like to read Sherlock Holmes's detective stories, you should know a famous quote from it, right?"

Kento Toba hasn't come back to his senses yet.

He just stared blankly at Xiang Yuanguang in front of him.

I heard the blue-coated lawyer in front of me say calmly.

"In the first chapter of Sherlock Holmes: The Sign of Four, Holmes tells Watson——"

“When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how implausible, must be the truth.”

Hattori Heiji, who was standing at the defense assistant seat, continued the second half of Genmitsuru's sentence.

Although he preferred Ellery Queen to Conan Doyle's novels.

But he originally planned to sneak into the Sherlock Holmes fan gathering, but he had already read the contents of the Sherlock Holmes detective collection.

The famous Kansai detective leaned against the wall behind the defense table.

He looked at Kento Toba behind the testimony stand, shook his head and complained.

"Do you really consider yourself a detective, man with glasses?"

"In your eyes... is a detective a profession that takes human life lightly and kills people for their property?"
