People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 53 Intertwined, then reversed (7)

Kuma Sukawa narrowed his eyes behind Prosecutor Gold's instrument.

The plan that Xiang Yuanguang told him was to restart the SL3 incident.

While using the Inquisition to uncover the real culprit of the SL3 incident, he also cracked the truth of the Moon Shadow Island case.

But about the invitation letter sent to the detective... Xiang Yuanguang did not tell him.

Kuma Sukawa gently pressed the button on the instrument, and the instrument scanned.

He was very sure that Xiang Yuanguang's physical condition had been extremely stable since just now.

The other party had made sufficient preparations for this case and everything was within his expectations.

(Xiang Yuanguang...when we usually get along, he just seems like a good-natured, confused person.)
(But only when you really stand on the opposite side can you feel the incomparable sense of oppression.)
(I see. Is this the real reason why the undefeated Hibiki Eri lost to Mugen-Mitsugu?)

The coffee cup in his hand was shaking subconsciously, and the boiling coffee inside was rotating with it.

Taking advantage of the brief time when the presiding judge interrupted Yuan Guang's speech out of surprise, Kuma Sukawa adjusted his mentality.

He believed that if he wanted to solve this case, he had to find out the existence of a third party.

That person may or may not be among the witnesses in the trial.

Therefore, there is only one best option now.

The investigation was adjourned.

"Silence! Silence! Silence!"

"This court needs silence!"

The presiding judge banged the gavel repeatedly, quieting the audience down a bit.

He looked at Xiang Yuanguang seriously and then said.

"Then, what Attorney Xiang Yuanguang claims is——"

Xiang Yuanguang gently touched his forehead with his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"In this case, Asai Shigemi is [not guilty]."

"The person who sent the invitation could be the murderer or the mastermind. Or it could just be a coincidence that has nothing to do with the case."

"There are still too many doubts in this case. I would like to ask the presiding judge to adjourn the court for one day and continue the trial tomorrow. But before I ask for an adjournment, I have to finish something I haven't done yet."

One thing that's not finished?
The presiding judge was confused. This matter was very important. Did it have to be done now?
If Xiang Yuanguang knew, he would definitely say this to the presiding judge: Yes, that's right, it must be done now.

I want the real murderer of this case to come out and stand in the witness stand.

There is only one way.

"The defense requests a final questioning of Kogoro Mori!"

He snapped his fingers lightly and pointed at Maori Kogoro.

"What!?"

Prosecutor Gold was startled and then he looked at Kogoro Mouri.

At this moment, Uncle Maori was even more shocked and confused than Prosecutor Gold.

Why continue the inquiry when there are already sufficient reasons to request a recess for the investigation?

Can't we leave the opportunity to ask questions until the next day?
But Mao Lilan, who was still in the audience, felt that this scene was familiar.

She remembered the first time Prosecutor Gold appeared at the trial.

This scene happened to Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mori————

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, is he going to knock Dad off the witness stand all at once?"

Mao Lilan let out a small cry of surprise.

Boom!
Xiang Yuanguang slammed his hands on the table.

There was a loud noise, and the legs of the table began to crack where he couldn't notice.

He pointed at Maori Kogoro. "There were more than one person who left the ceremony. There were definitely at least three people who left: Asai Shigemi, the witness, and Edogawa Conan who was staying at the witness's home."

"The witness did not make an accurate statement about this. He also did not explain why he felt that Asai Shimi was suspicious. You know, Asai Shimi had helped solve a case at Nichimi TV before!"

"Why would you consider a friend who you once worked with to solve a case suspicious before the case even happened, and even go to the extent of leaving the ritual meeting to follow him?"

Xiang Yuanguang took out the record of the witness's speech in this case, held it in his hand and glanced at it.

Then he stroked his chin and spoke thoughtfully.

"There is also a problem with the timing. I have previously proved that the person who broke the glass could not be Dr. Asai Shigemi, but the witness insisted that it was Dr. Asai Shigemi who broke through the window."

"From the subsequent supplementary testimony, the witness did not see the moment when Asai Shigemi broke through the window in the dark, because that moment did not exist at all. Asai Shigemi just went out through the broken window."

"And the basis for the witness's testimony that Asai Shigemi broke out of the window was the testimony of Officer Takagi, who had already been debunked before. It is completely untenable."

“In response to this————”

Boom!
Xiang Yuanguang slammed his hands on the table again.

The next moment, strong winds spread rapidly in all directions with him as the center.

Not only Prosecutor Gold and Kogoro Mori in the courtroom could intuitively feel the arrival of the wind.

Even the people in the gallery were unable to open their eyes due to the strong wind!

The verbal bomb is launched!
"——————I object to the fact that Maori Kogoro can serve as a witness related to this case!"

"His testimony is of little help to the case!"

"Not only is the logic and rationality extremely poor, but every sentence contains false facts and concealment."

"The testimony regarding the invitation letter can also be given by the witness Nanatsuki Koshimizu, therefore."

"The defense hereby requests that the witness, Kogoro Mori, should no longer appear in this courtroom!!!"

(What!? You actually want to kick Kogoro Mouri off the witness stand!?)
(That kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!)

A thought flashed through Prosecutor Gold's mind, and he was about to shout out his objection.

But the wind was so strong that he couldn't stand steadily and couldn't shout at all.

The coffee in the coffee cup in his hand was blown out.

Faced with such powerful wind magic, the chief judge hammered the gavel repeatedly with difficulty.

"Please, please don't use magic in the courtroom, Attorney Xiang Yuan!!!"

call out.

The strong wind in the courtroom finally died down.

Xiang Yuanguang touched the back of his head and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Haha, I know."

(In fact, the duration of the verbal bullet has expired.)
"Um……"

The presiding judge came to his senses and looked at Prosecutor Gold, who was already splashed with coffee in the prosecutor's seat.

It is believed that the new temporary prosecutor is unlikely to raise any objections.

So, bang the gavel.

"Okay, this court agrees to Attorney Genko's request. Please ask witness Maori Kogoro to leave the courtroom."

"Then, this court announces that the investigation will be adjourned for one day and the trial will resume at 3 pm tomorrow."

"After the trial, please ask Prosecutor Gold to investigate the doubts in this case!"

dong dong.

"This court declares that the court session is adjourned today!"
