People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 496 School Level Referee
"…Class referee? Teacher, did you go to the wrong set?"

Xiang Yuanguang looked at the female teacher with glasses in front of him with some suspicion, but he felt that the female teacher looked normal no matter how he looked at her, so he lowered his head to take a look at the ideas raised by the children after the parent-teacher meeting.

Wow, it really is a class judge. It's hard to believe that in the Conan world dominated by detectives, there would be a student system that is exactly the same as in the Reverse World dominated by lawyers and prosecutors. Fortunately, this is just a show.

The main reason is that it is too troublesome to reproduce the murder case, so the relevant content is omitted, but once these are cut, the program becomes self-entertainment, so they simply turn the offensive into a trial court sitcom.

At that time, there will be five tables, a presiding judge, prosecutors, lawyers, defendants, and witnesses. Other students can act as the atmosphere group in the audience seats. Everyone will feel involved, and the reproduction effect will be good.

However, this script certainly cannot be written based on a real murder case. Although Uncle Maori may want to be lazy, Yuan Guang does not intend to follow the routine. Since it is a performance program for the school festival, he will make a special and humorous script.

It should be for children at all times, and it should not be like the Good Morning Kids Show that came up with a red pass monster.

However, he was not the only one thinking about how to write the script. The children all gathered around him and gave their opinions. Only a few children who were not very sociable did not come over.

Among them are Conan and Haibara Ai, two special people who have rejuvenated and are returning to the first grade. They have never cared about such things. After all, with two professionals, Genmi Mitsuki and Maori Kogoro, there will be no problem.

There was another child sitting in the back row by the window. He did not participate in the discussion of the sitcom script like those children. Instead, he turned his head to look outside the window, as if what was happening in the class had nothing to do with him.

Such special performance naturally attracted the attention of the two little adults in the class. Although Haibara Ai had no sense of belonging to this class and didn't want to pay attention to other people, she still asked a question when faced with this situation.

"Great Detective, what's wrong with that guy? Has he always been like this?"

When Conan heard Haibara Ai's question, he did not answer immediately. He seemed to be thinking, or just keeping it in suspense, so that Haibara Ai narrowed her eyes slightly and looked a little impatient before he finally answered.

"Well, if what I remember is true, this is not normal. The child's name is Yazaki Seiji. He usually keeps to himself and doesn't like to communicate with others. However, he often interacts with a girl in Class A."

The Elementary School Student of Death pushed his plain glasses and quickly recalled the things about Yazaki Yasushi. Then, he sighed and said hesitantly.

"If I remember correctly, the child's name was Kujuku Fumino. She transferred from Teitan Elementary School after the Kaito Kid murder incident. Because it happened so suddenly, the other children didn't know what happened to her family."

"After Kujuku Bunno transferred to another school due to unknown reasons, Yazaki Yasuji became more and more withdrawn. Maybe something happened at home recently, which is why he doesn't like to follow the crowd anymore..."

"And his parents didn't come to the parent-teacher conference, so he felt ignored?"

Before Conan finished telling all his speculations, Haibara Ai suddenly added a sentence, which made the Elementary School Student of Death turn his head away a little unhappily, but because Haibara Ai's speculation was correct, he still nodded.

"It's like this. If we can let him join the class activities of this school festival, I think it should improve his mental condition. What do you think? Do you want to come together?" "...I'm not interested in playing with a group of kids, and I don't plan to play with you who have already integrated into the segment."

Conan didn't find it strange at all about Haibara Ai's refusal. After all, she was a member of the Black Organization. It would be strange for her to have such a gentle personality and to be able to hang out with children. And if she did that, she must have other motives!
Soon, it was lunchtime, and most of the children left the classroom with their parents and went to the rooftop or other places to have lunch together, because the classroom had now been set up as a performance venue for the class refereeing skit.

Xiang Yuanguang grabbed Haibara Ai's schoolbag, lifted it up with one hand, and then took out two prepared bento boxes from it. As for Uncle Maori, he planned to go to the school kitchen to get some rice for lunch.

As for Conan? Conan had already joined the Suicide Squad, no, the Junior Detective Team, and disappeared from Uncle Maori's sight in a short while, but Uncle Maori didn't care.

Anyway, it's inside Teitan Elementary School and Conan is walking with a group of playmates, what could go wrong?
When Xiang Yuanguang was finishing his lunch, his homeroom teacher, Kobayashi Sumiko, quietly appeared beside him from nowhere. Her face, which seemed a little fierce in front of the students, became gentle, as if she had taken off a mask.

However, in Xiang Yuanguang's opinion, this is normal. The new head teacher must be a little fierce in order to maintain class order. If he is too gentle, the students will not obey.

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, you are a lawyer, right? And you have worked with great detectives like Mr. Maori many times. Do you have any other ideas for modifying the plan for the class judge?"

Teacher Kobayashi was sitting next to Xiang Yuanguang. She asked curiously. Huihara Ai, who was sitting next to her, disappeared without a trace after packing up her lunch. It seemed that she didn't intend to stay with the homeroom teacher.

Maybe it’s because I feel that if I stay with the head teacher, I can’t have a normal conversation with him, so it’s better to find a place to be alone and quiet?

"I think the class refereeing should be a little fun and not too serious. Otherwise, it would not be good if the children really regarded the class refereeing as a way to judge right and wrong."

Responding to Genkou in this way, his impression remained on the teenage years of Naruhodō Ryuichi, who disguised himself as the Fourth Naruhodō and tricked him for who knows how many generations. The class referee at that time left a deep impression on Naruhodō Ryuichi.

Because the atmosphere of this country is actually not suitable for this overly serious way of weighing right and wrong among children, otherwise the children who make mistakes may be isolated.

“…Is that so?”

Teacher Kobayashi seemed a little unsure about this, and she said it in a confused manner.

At this moment, Xiang Yuanguang suddenly looked up in the direction of Class B, Grade 1, and frowned. He seemed to hear someone crying... Was it an illusion? Or was there really a child crying?
He suddenly stood up, startling Teacher Kobayashi next to him.

"Sorry, Mr. Xiaolin, I'll go over and take a look. I feel like something is not right."
