People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 621: Demon Hunter Restores His Intimidation Frequency
"… Naruhodō Ryunosuke, before you leave, I have a piece of advice for you."

The hysterical laughter finally stopped.

Yaluwuren seemed to have regained his original composure and calmness, and he smiled.

"Some people won't do it cleanly, because not all of their subordinates are from their team."

"Sometimes the timing is so clever that the event seems a little too bizarre."

"Finally, your Honor, the perpetrator in the ward... was not Asougi Ichima."

...What does this mean?
Naruhodō stroked his chin thoughtfully, thinking.

After accepting the inquiry report from Scotland Yard, the presiding judge raised the gavel, then lowered it, solemnly announcing the outcome of the handling of Yaluwuren and Edward Turner.

"Witnesses Yalu Wuren and Edward Turner, you are suspected of murdering Japanese student Hosho Reito. The court now announces that you will be detained and the sentencing trial will be held soon."

"If you have any objections, please submit an appeal within three days. Now, please leave."

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

The bailiff came up behind Yaluwuren and Edward Turner.

Edward Turner, who had been extremely angry and high-spirited just now, now looked as pale as death, as if he had lost all his vitality. His legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

The bailiff nearby quickly reached out and helped Edward Turner up. They couldn't let this guy blackmail the court.

"It's over, it's all over... Oh, I'm so stupid, why did I seek temporary pleasure..."

Edward Turner cried in a low voice to the bailiff beside him with tears in his eyes.

Although the bailiff also felt that this guy was most likely dead, he still spoke righteously on the surface.

"Don't worry, Mr. Turner, you will be safe until the sentencing trial begins!"

Anyway, if he is going to die, he will go to jail and will not commit crimes inside the court.

Unless Professor Moriarty really thinks the British Queen's sword is no longer sharp.

Or perhaps he felt that the batons of the British Army could not break up the brotherhood of his men.

On the other hand, Yaluwuren seemed calm.

He has extensive experience in this area, and including this time, he has been imprisoned for the third time.

But it doesn't matter, after all, it's just a short stay for one night.

By dawn, it will all be over.

Without the need for the bailiff to help him, Yaluwuren walked through the gap between them and walked in front. Without even looking at Yan Tu Haici and Karma Hao behind him, he left on his own, as if he was not detained but going for a walk.

He didn't care anymore. The outcome of the trial had nothing to do with him.

Next, let’s think about how things will develop after the game scene ends and we return to their world.

Crunch————-
The doors of the Old London Courts opened.

Then the footsteps gradually faded away, and finally, the door closed with a creaking sound.

"…Garukoro and Edward Turner were arrested as accomplices in the murder of Hosou Reito, but the main culprit in the murder of Hosou Reito, Jack the Ripper, remains unknown."

"However, based on the testimony of the accomplice Yaluwuren, Asougi Ichima's suspicion can be temporarily ruled out."

The presiding judge banged the gavel, putting the case back on track.

"Then, next, this court will continue to hear Jack the Ripper's third murder case."

"The defense's previous inference can only prove that Asougi Ichima is not the murderer in the case of Hosou Reito's murder, but it cannot prove that the murderer in this case is not Asougi Ichima."

"You have a long way to go, Attorney Naruhodō. I hope you can continue your previous success."

Such words are too biased. Demon Hunter snorted coldly, and the chief judge immediately became serious.

"Okay, Attorney Naruhodō, now, do you have any witness testimony that you would like to question again or confirm?"

...The testimony of the witness who was questioned again...?
Naruhodō Ryunosuke looked at the Shinigami elementary school student next to him, and the Shinigami elementary school student turned his head away.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, but that he can't.

Because he didn't hear a word of the previous testimony, and the same went for another legal assistant, Shou Shadu.

One of them entered the courtroom during the first recess, and the other entered the courtroom during the second recess, but the witness testimony in the current case was completed before the first recess.

The two paralegals were completely unaware of this, so this step had to be taken by Naruhodō Ryunosuke himself.

Suddenly, Naruhodō became a little nervous.

He looked at Asougi Yizhen in the dock, exchanged glances with his good friend, then began to recall his previous testimony and think about what to say next.

However, because his movement was too large, a small ball of paper rolled out of his pocket.

Shousha was a little surprised and bent down to pick up the paper ball——————

"Master Naruhodō, this seems to be... a record of previous testimony?"

...The record of the previous testimony? Huh? I didn't take any notes?

Naruhodō turned to look at the unfolded ball of paper in Susado's hand.

It contains the part of the testimony that Susado and Conan don't know about.

This was something that was put into his pocket by someone at some unknown time...

No, maybe he knew who it was.

Naruhodō Ryunosuke turned his head to look at juror number five, Naruhodō Ryuichi, in the jury seat.

And Naruhodō Ryuichi nodded to his ancestor.

That's right, the paper ball was what he put into Naruhodō Ryunosuke's pocket when he talked to him after the second recess, although he was not a magician like his adopted daughter Naruhodō Mikuni.

But... he still thought he could do this little trick.

At least he had managed to dodge the tricks of the God of a Thousand Gods with a terrifying name.

"Defense attorney, how long are you going to recall the contents of your testimony?"

"This trial is almost coming to an end. Don't delay any longer!"

Karma Hao finally returned to his previous intimidation frequency and said with a sneer.

"Although you are no longer a paralegal, but a defense attorney now."

"But if you do something like this, I will ask the presiding judge to throw you out of the courtroom!"

"Anyway, your defense team has been using the inherited lawyer's tactics this time, so it won't make any difference if we expel you and let your legal assistant Naruhodō Susa serve as the defense lawyer!"

...Naruhodo Susado?
Conan turned his head and looked at the blushing lawyer's assistant with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Did he remember it wrong? This girl... was called Mikotoha Susado, right?

It's really strange, whether it's Prosecutor Hao, Director Yan Tu, Lawyer Ya Liu, or Juror No. 5.

Each of these guys was talking weirdly, as if they knew something he didn't.

This feeling... is so unpleasant!
