People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 398 Public Security Prosecutor Makoto Kusakabe
—————May 27, 4:05 p.m.——————

—————Tokyo area, blocked diplomatic embassies——————

Indeed, Xiang Yuanguang had thought about what the situation would be like inside the diplomatic embassy.

For example, the prosecutor is involved in the investigation of the case, or the police from the criminal department are ready to finish their work.

Or other, many case investigation situations.

But I never expected that the police here would start quarreling.

"Stop being so arrogant here! Do you, the Ministry of Public Security, really want to overstep your authority and take over the crime scene here?"

"No doubt about it? Stop talking nonsense here. I'm tired of hearing your words!"

According to Kogoro Mori and Heiji Hattori, Inspector Ninzaburo Shiratori is in charge of the investigation of this case.

By now he had a frown on his face and was arguing with another officer who showed up at the scene.

Xiang Yuanguang only needed to take a quick glance to determine that there were police officers from two different forces at the scene.

On one side was an old acquaintance from the Criminal Investigation Division 1, and on the other side was an unfamiliar member of the police department.

"I'll say it again, this case is suspected to be related to the previous Silver Star explosion."

"As a case that has already threatened public safety, the Ministry of Public Security should be responsible."

"Please leave the scene now and do not hinder our police from continuing their investigation of the case."

The police officer, who seemed to be disdainful of Shiratori Renzaburo, took out his police ID and emphasized his attitude again.

Even though he was standing a little far away, Xiang Yuanguang could still see the words on the police officer's ID clearly.

[Ministry of Public Security] [Yuya Kazami]

(I seem to have seen this name somewhere before, it seems familiar.)
(It seems like there is some special relationship between him and Amuro Toru?)

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and thought for a moment.

It seems like a direct relationship between superiors and subordinates? However, as an undercover agent, Amuro Toru actually has subordinates who work normally...

According to normal logic, shouldn't there only be superiors who are secretly connected?

(However, if the police took over this case, the criminal department would not be able to interfere even if they wanted to.)
(It seems that even if I come, I won’t be able to get any key information.)
The blue hedgehog frowned and quietly reached into his pocket, pinching his lawyer's medal.

But since I'm here, I might as well ask...

call out------

The sound of brakes came from not far away.

He turned his head subconsciously to Yuan Guang, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.

Here he comes again, and this time it's someone he has never seen before.

With gray hair on his temples and a serious face, he is a typical middle-aged office worker...

Tick, tick, tick.

A middle-aged office worker, about forty years old, walked past Xiang Yuanguang.

Suddenly he turned around and looked at Xiang Yuanguang, and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

But in the end, the two did not talk.

The middle-aged man walked straight to the cordon and then took out his ID from his pocket.

"Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, Public Security Prosecutor, Kusakabe Makoto."

"I am in charge of this case. Please get out of the way."

The police officers standing at the cordon and watching the quarrel between the Public Security Department and the Criminal Department were shocked.

There was an indescribable surprise on his face, but after confirming the identity, he became serious.

"Prosecutor Kusakabe, please come in."

Makoto Kusakabe nodded, waited for the police officer next to him to raise the cordon, and immediately walked in.

And the address of Prosecutor Kusakabe immediately made Xiang Yuanguang raise his eyebrows.

This surname is not common, and it can make the police officers from the Ministry of Public Security have such an attitude.

He should be a very powerful prosecutor, like the undefeated ace or something.

(Makoto Kusakabe, Public Security Prosecutor of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office…)
(Let’s go back and check who this person is.)
The blue hedgehog stood outside the blockade and watched aggressively.

However, the other police officers ignored him, as if there was no such person outside. "That's enough, no more arguing, the target of prosecution has been determined."

"The trial process will begin tomorrow morning, and the police only need to complete the final evidence collection work."

"Inspector Shiratori, the evidence collection list has been transferred to your office computer. Collect evidence from the list."

As soon as Kusakabe Seiji opened his mouth, he brought out important information.

Immediately, Inspector Shiratori and Inspector Kazami, who were arguing, stopped talking at the same time.

The Criminal Division was surprised that Prosecutor Kusakabe acted so quickly.

Inspector Kazami was puzzled as to why Kusakabe had already released the results when the public security investigation had not yet been completed.

Although prosecutors in this country have absolute powers to prosecute, public security prosecutors are different from criminal prosecutors.

Generally speaking, the public security prosecutors follow the instructions of the public security police on when to prosecute.

Rather than making decisions on their own, the relationship is completely different from that between criminal prosecutors and criminal police.

Therefore, it is extremely rare for Prosecutor Kusakabe to make a prosecution decision directly without going through the public security police!

"This kind of thing... Has the Procuratorate of the Ministry of Public Security already made a decision?"

"But didn't the Inspector General want us to investigate first and then make the final decision?"

Yuya Kazami frowned and asked.

However, Kusakabe Makoto didn't seem to intend to argue with Kazami Yuya.

He just snorted coldly and then said.

"This is an order issued by the Ministry of Public Security, which bypassed me. The suspect will be prosecuted tomorrow and the trial will begin shortly afterwards."

"Moreover, the chief prosecutor told me that your Ministry of Public Security requested the Procuratorate to prosecute immediately."

"Ask me now? What can I tell you? What can I change?"

Hearing this, Yuya Kazami immediately reached out and pressed the special headphones on his ears.

After a while, his expression changed, and finally became several shades darker.

He looked even angrier than when he had just had an argument with Inspector Shiratori.

"... Got it. The evidence collection work here will be handed over to the Criminal Division."

The public security police came in aggressively but left quickly.

They passed through the blockade, dressed in plain clothes, and disappeared into the street in a blink of an eye.

When Feng Jianyuya passed by Xiang Yuanguang, he frowned and took a look.

He seemed to be wondering when this guy was standing here, but in the end he didn't care and just left.

Looking at the disappearing secret police, Xiang Yuanguang's face also became gloomy.

If the police have not completed their investigation and evidence collection, the procuratorate will directly prosecute.

Doesn't that mean that the Procuratorate is simply trying to find a scapegoat to take the blame this time?
Inspector Shiratori took out his work computer from the police car, and many criminals immediately began collecting evidence according to the previous operating procedures.

And Kusakabe Makoto raised the blockade again and came in front of Xiang Yuanguang.

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, I've heard of you...a legendary lawyer who always stands on the side of truth."

"Are you here at the diplomatic embassy to investigate and collect evidence? Or did someone ask you to come here?"

Prosecutor Kusakabe stared at Genmitsu's collar for a while, then spoke.

Hearing this, Xiang Yuanguang took two steps back and leaned against the wall.

"Originally, I was only asked by two friends to come and take a look at the case."

"But now, if necessary, I think I need to intervene in the trial of this case."

"Prosecutor Kusakabe, I would like to ask, who is being prosecuted this time?"

Kusakabe Makoto turned his head slightly, and then spoke with some heaviness.

"The deceased's father, Toshimitsu Tsujimura."

"Heh, he obviously didn't even have a motive, but he pleaded guilty."

"As expected, the Ministry of Public Security should have taken action on both sides at the same time..."
