People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 55: Adjournment Investigation: Moon Shadow Island

April 17, 6:30 p.m.

Moon Shadow Island, Port.

Tsukikage Island is a small island in the Izu Islands.

The air quality here is much better than that in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

"Well, I knew the air here is fresher than in the city."

Standing next to the hedgehog-haired lawyer in a blue coat was a young man dressed quite avant-garde.

These two seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact they have a relationship similar to that of friends.

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, come to think of it, your opponent this time is actually Prosecutor Gold."

"It's unfortunate. He showed great ability last time when he helped me get out of trouble."

Arita Ryosuke stretched and felt the warm sea breeze.

He had a deep impression of Xiang Yuanguang, although he did not appear during the trial.

But thanks to Xiang Yuanguang, he avoided the possibility of being brought to trial as a defendant.

From this perspective, if Xiang Yuanguang needs help with something, it is not impossible for him to lend a hand.

(… Wasn’t I the prosecutor Gold last time?)
(How can it be considered unfortunate to sue yourself?...)
Xiang Yuanguang shook his head and stroked his chin.

The last time he came to Yueying Island in a hurry, he found Gao Mu to confirm the case, got the evidence and then went back.

Now, it’s time to find evidence of Heming Pingtian selling drugs.

If nothing goes as expected...he is a secretary involved in drug smuggling and trafficking.

A transcript of the transaction should be kept as a life-saving measure.

That is the most powerful and best-obtained evidence that reversed the SL3 incident twelve years ago and proved that the real culprit of the attempted murder case on Yueying Island was Hirata Kamiya.

He thought to himself as he took off the lawyer's medal from his collar and put it in the pocket of his blue coat.

"When I came to Moon Shadow Island before, I asked the old policeman about the places where Hirata Heming often went."

"If things don't go as planned, it could be dangerous, Mr. Arita, are you sure you want to go with me?"

Xiang Yuanguang looked at the buildings on Yueying Island, especially the community center that had been blocked.

Said to Arita Ryosuke next to him.

The rich young man didn't seem to be afraid at all. He held the back of his neck with his hands and said with a smile.

"It will definitely be fine. Lawyer Xiang Yuan isn't afraid, so why should I be afraid?"

(Uh, I’m not afraid because my physique is four stars. Is your physique also four stars?)
(No, on the other hand, Arita Ryosuke's safety is really not something I need to worry about.)
Several thoughts flashed through Xiang Yuanguang's mind.

He nodded.

"Okay, let's go find the evidence."

Tick, tick, tick.

The two men disappeared from the harbor, and almost the next moment after they disappeared, several small boats docked at the harbor.

Several men in black got off the boat. Each of them wore sunglasses and a suit, and they looked like professionals.

There were more than a dozen people in total, and they confirmed that Arita Ryosuke and Mukai Mitsuru's ship had docked.

One of the men in black picked up his watch, checked the current time, and then spoke.

"The lawyer has arrived... Get ready and don't make any mistakes."

"If anything goes wrong, we'll be in big trouble."

The men in black nodded, and followed Yuanguang and the other man into the town of Yueying Island.

After a while, outside the community center.

Compared to other people's houses on Moon Shadow Island, this community center is obviously much more luxurious.

Xiang Yuanguang knew that under normal circumstances, there would be many villagers from Yueying Island marching in the Civic Center.

Their purpose is to protest against Kuroiwa Tatsuji continuing to serve as the village chief.

Now, because Kuroiwa Tatsuji has gone to Tokyo to attend the trial, the protesting villagers have disappeared.

"I asked Officer Takagi to collect evidence from the piano in the piano room."

"There was heroin in the secret compartment under the piano, and it had been there for quite a long time." "Hirata Kazuaki was conducting a heroin transaction in the piano room, and was discovered by Murasawa Shuichi."

"The killing was attempted, but it was unsuccessful."

While walking into the community center, he explained to Yuan Guang the reason why he came to Yueying Island.

Arita Ryosuke stroked his chin and walked while listening as if he was listening to a story.

It was not until Xiang Yuanguang told him the truth about the attempted murder case on Yueying Island that he began to speak with doubt.

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, since you already know the truth about the attempted murder case on Yueying Island."

"Even the murderer's process, evidence, and motive have been found."

"Why do you want to delay for a day? Don't you have something to do?"

"Well..."

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin, thinking about how to tell Arita Ryosuke.

He stopped when passing a prop warehouse.

The prop warehouse of the civic center is right next to the piano room, so it is a must-go.

This warehouse has not been opened for a long time, and the key is in the hands of the only policeman on Moonshadow Island.

Why does the dust on the ground have strange shapes and look like it has been pushed away by someone?

Crunch——————

The warehouse door was pushed open instantly, and two big men rushed out.

The door of the piano room was also pushed open, and two big men rushed out.

Tick, tick, tick.

Hearing footsteps, Arita Ryosuke looked behind him and, sure enough, there were two people in the corridor.

"Haha, it's you again, a lawyer like you. I should have gotten rid of you three years ago."

"But it's not too late now. What a shame. Looks like someone will be absent from the trial tomorrow."

A big man holding an iron rod said with a sneer.

As if frightened by the momentum of these guys, Arita Ryosuke retreated repeatedly and soon hid behind Xiang Yuanguang.

But Xiang Yuanguang, the undefeated lawyer, was not panicked. He touched his chin and looked around.

He completely ignored the big man's words.

"One, two, three...six?"

Xiang Yuanguang said thoughtfully.

"Damn it, you bastard, do you look down on us?!"

"Today I will make you sleep forever on Moon Shadow Island!!!"

The leading man roared, and the other five rushed forward.

Crackling, snapping.

A group of men in black rushed out from the corner of the corridor, and the glass of the piano room was directly smashed.

Arita Ryosuke's bodyguard arrived at the scene in less than ten seconds.

But to their surprise, the situation on the field was completely different from what they had imagined.

I saw five big men rolling on the ground with ferocious faces, and there were several iron rods bent in the middle on the ground.

The hedgehog-haired lawyer in blue clothes lifted the bruised and swollen man up with one hand.

"…It was you who hit me in the back three years ago? You think it's impressive to just hit me in the back and run away?"

"You are fighting me head on now, but you only have six of us? Do you think I am inferior to you?"

He said with a dangerous smile on Yuan Guang's face.

"Now, I want to talk to you about legal principles, which you cannot understand."

"Then I will talk to you about physics, understand?"
