People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 397 Plot Changes
The client was involved in a criminal case...

Do you have any clients who are not involved in criminal cases???
Xiang Yuanguang was horrified. He didn't expect the God of Plague to behave so abnormally.

He has become accustomed to the special situation where people die wherever Uncle Maori and Conan go.

Why does it seem like Uncle Maori himself is completely clueless?

Seeing the look of shock on the blue hedgehog's face.

Hattori Heiji nodded secretly.

He claims to be a famous detective who has solved more than a thousand cases, but criminal cases are only a small part of them.

For example, if you come to Tokyo to find a detective for help and your first commission turns out to be a criminal case...

This is the first time, so it's no surprise that Xiang Yuanguang is so surprised.

Kogoro Mori next to him added seriously.

"The identity of the victim this time is somewhat special. The police seem to think that my client is also a suspect."

"However, they unexpectedly refused to allow our detectives to enter the scene for investigation."

"We are not even allowed to meet with our client, who is one of the suspects in the crime!"

"I think, in this case, only a lawyer like you can possibly understand the situation!"

...No, why are you detectives so law-abiding at this time?
Aren’t tracking, chatting, telescopes and other means usually useless?

This time, we actually have to follow the formal procedures to understand the circumstances of the case?
Xiang Yuanguang's eyes became more and more suspicious, which made Maori Kogoro a little nervous.

Finally, Uncle Maori couldn't hold it in anymore. He coughed twice and then spoke.

"The main reason is that we were chased out the last time we tried to go in and check the situation."

"It's not convenient to check again now, and the police haven't given a specific suspect yet..."

"The true facts of the case have not been disclosed to the public, probably because the identity of the criminal has not yet been fully determined."

“So, if you want to know whether your client is a criminal suspect, this is the time.”

"No, the criminal has not been identified yet. It's no use for you to come to me. I'm a lawyer, not a prosecutor."

Xiang Yuanguang shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Thinking of lawyer Eri Kisaki, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, I added a sentence.

"Besides, Lawyer Fei's interpersonal relationships are much wider than mine. It would be more efficient for you to find Lawyer Fei."

For a moment, Uncle Maori didn't know what to say.

If he had the nerve to go look for Hibiki Eri, why would he appear here?

Hattori Heiji next to him finally became serious and said in a serious tone.

"I do need your help this time. The person in charge of this case is Inspector Shiratori Ninzaburo, whom you know."

"Inspector Shiratori already had a bad impression of me, and then Uncle Maori and I tried to escape..."

"We were discovered when we tried to check the situation, and now we are even less willing to pay attention to us."

"Inspector Megure and Officer Takagi are also on duty at this time, so we can't contact them during work hours."

"Now I can only ask you to help me."

"…First tell me who Uncle Maori's client is."

The blue hedgehog rested his chin on his hand, intending to hear the details.

However, when he heard Tsujimura Kimie, he couldn't help but sigh.

Although he didn't quite recognize the first word, he knew the words that followed.

Isn’t this the first client that Hattori Heiji encountered after meeting Mori Kogoro?
(No wonder you think she is considered a criminal and a murderer.)
(She is a criminal and a murderer, how can there be any doubt about this?)
(Should I put on a vest and send this guy to jail?)

Seeing Xiang Yuanguang suddenly lose interest, Hattori Heiji and Uncle Mori were a little puzzled.

Why did Xiang Yuan's spines go limp when he heard the name?
Do you think that Kimie Tsujimura is the criminal, so there is no need to investigate?

But we haven't said anything yet. Are you sure who the criminal is? Is it open? Or is it not closed? If it is not closed, it is open.

"If nothing else, at least we know how many people died this time and what their identities were, right?"

"I just want to ask, is the deceased the husband of Kimie Tsujimura?"

Xiang Yuanguang yawned and asked casually.

The two great detectives were shocked again.

Without investigating anything, how can you know who the deceased is just by hearing the name?
What? Did you get some first-hand information that they don’t know about?

If Xiang Yuanguang knew what they were thinking, he would probably answer sincerely——————

No, what I got was not first-hand information, but zero-hand information.

"Kid Mukai, how do you know the deceased is Tsujimura Kimie's husband?"

"The day after I received the commission, I was going to meet Tsujimura Kimie's husband at her home."

"Then the housekeeper there told us that now Tsujimura Kimie and her father-in-law have gone to the diplomatic embassy."

"We followed him to the diplomatic embassy, ​​but we didn't expect to see it surrounded by people when we got there..."

“I asked the police blockade personnel and found out that a criminal case had occurred inside!”

"One of the dead was Tsujimura Kimie's husband, Tsujimura Isao!"

That's it, the criminal is Tsujimura Kimie.

Xiang Yuanguang shook his head, took a sip of Coke, and planned to go back to watch TV.

However, as soon as I stood up, I suddenly thought of something.

(No, the police only suspected that Kimie Tsujimura was the criminal? They didn't confirm that she was the criminal?)

(Then I will change my clothes and go to the diplomatic embassy to verify her crime.)
(Don’t catch and sue a passerby who is just passing by!)
He did it as soon as he said it. Xiang Yuanguang changed his mind and remembered that his camouflage equipment was still at Kuma.

But then he thought again, I have a spare one, so there is no need to go to Kuma Sukawa to get the instrument.

As long as he persuaded the two detectives to leave, he would go get the spare camouflage equipment.

Just help Tsujimura Kimie to fill it up, so that this guy won’t go and cheat other people again!
Suddenly, Xiang Yuanguang finally realized that what Uncle Maori said just now seemed to be a little wrong.

He immediately narrowed his eyes, looked down at Uncle Maori, and asked for confirmation.

"...Wait, you just said that the criminal case happened in the diplomatic embassy? Not her home?"

"One of the dead was Tsujimura Kimie's husband. Does that mean there are other dead?"

Hattori Heiji nodded immediately and spoke seriously.

"Yes, there were other victims, besides Tsujimura Isao, the husband of Tsujimura Kimie."

"There are three unidentified people who died. Judging from the condition of their bodies, they were probably poisoned..."

"I remember they seemed to have nameplates on them, but they were pulled away before I could take a closer look."

(So, the plot has changed? Three more people died? What happened to these three people?)

(Will the specific circumstances of the case also change due to changes in the number of people and the venue?)

Xiang Yuanguang frowned and finally accepted their request.

"I understand. I'll go to the diplomatic embassy now to take a look."

“Although I don’t know which prosecutor in the Procuratorate is in charge of that case.”

"But I should know all the prosecutors here. I will come back to you after I understand the situation."

Before he finished speaking, the female detective on the other side stood up in a flash.

"I'll go too! Even though I drink Coke and watch TV now, I was also a famous detective!"

...Who are you?
A thought flashed through Hattori Heiji's mind.

But this time he was smart enough not to say it out loud, because he knew that the fighting power of the blue hedgehog next to him was no joke!
