People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 79 Intertwined, then reversed (end)

"…The only one who poisoned the lunch box prepared for me was my father, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, who had the opportunity and time."

"The above is all I want to testify. There is nothing else."

Kuroiwa Reiko gave testimony that was extremely unfavorable to Kuroiwa Tatsuji, and Kuroiwa Tatsuji could certainly refute it.

However, Kuroiwa Tatsuji did not do so, perhaps because he was unable to attack his own daughter, or perhaps it was because of the last bit of humanity he had left.

"You... evidence, you still don't have any evidence that can directly prove guilt!"

Only Kawashima Hideo was still struggling in his death throes, but he didn't expect that in just a moment, Kawashima's struggle would be completely in vain.

crunch————

The door of the Grand Courtroom was opened.

"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, I brought the evidence you asked me to find for you. Take a look. Are these the ones?"

Ryosuke Arita, carrying a backpack, walked into the Grand Courtroom with Officer Takagi and the old policeman from Tsukikage Island.

At this moment, Officer Takagi was holding the bag in his hand high up so that everyone could see it at the first sight.

(New evidence? What is it?)

Kuma Sukawa was confused.

(It seems to be over.)
Reiko Kujo tapped the table subconsciously.

"It's almost time to give Kawashima Hideo the final blow, Lawyer Xiang Yuan."

A smile appeared on the corner of Kisaki Eri's mouth. Even though there were unexpected events along the way, they had finally arrived at the situation they had envisioned.

"Well... Kawashima Hideo, watch out, this will be the last piece of evidence you will ever see!"

Boom!
Xiang Yuanguang slapped the table, looked at the presiding judge, and spoke loudly without hesitation.

"The defense presented the last piece of evidence, all the heroin transactions on Moon Shadow Island... all the transaction information and case records!"

"Whether it's the Hokkaido Police Department, the Toudou Police Department, or any other police department..."

"These records are perfectly consistent with the account books that Hirata Heming kept privately in this case, no matter the time or the amount...!"

All the records...!?

Hideo Kawashima's face changed suddenly. It was definitely not possible to get all these things within three days by ordinary means.

Who is this yellow-haired boy who suddenly came in?

As if noticing Kawashima Hideo's gaze, Arita Ryosuke turned around and smiled, then spoke to the presiding judge at the main seat.

"Yes, I am the witness in this case, Ryosuke Arita, a good friend of lawyer Mukaguchi Genko. I can prove that Takeo Nishida did attack Mukaguchi Genko on Tsukikage Island."

"Besides that, the witness next to me is the only police officer on Tsukikage Island. He can prove that Hirata Heming often sneaks around in the piano room in the community center with Kawashima Hideo."

"Finally, here are the pieces of evidence that I asked Officer Takagi to present. As Attorney Xiang Yuan said, these are all the relevant case records and transaction information."

The presiding judge swallowed his saliva. He also knew how powerful Arita Ryosuke was to be able to do this.

"This court needs to determine the authenticity of these records..."

"No, I also brought these. Take a look. These are signatures."

Arita Ryosuke put down his backpack, rummaged through it, and poured out a pile of plastic-sealed letters of certification.

Each letter of certification bears the name of the relevant person in charge of the corresponding police station and even has the official seal.

"Can these prove the legal benefits of the evidence I brought?"

The young master of the Arita family said this with a smile. Faced with such overwhelming evidence from all aspects, the whole audience was silent.

thump.

Prosecutor Gold slammed his coffee cup on the table and leaned over, not knowing what to say for a moment.

“…This is really a money power.”

Finally, he could only murmur.

If the organization had such financial resources and means, why would it rob banks and engage in other crimes? "Mr. Judge, it seems that you have no other opinions on this, and the prosecutors have the same opinion."

Xiang Yuanguang put his hands on his hips and said confidently, This time, the two prosecutors on the prosecution side shook their heads at the same time.

"Now, let me make a final summary of several cases."

The hedgehog-haired lawyer walked out from the defense seat and came to the center of the X-shaped courtroom. He said so.

"Twelve years ago, Kawashima Hideo and his four companions tried to force Keiji Aso to bring heroin from abroad but failed, so they killed Keiji Aso and his family. Only Aso, who stayed in Tokyo for treatment, survived."

"From Hirata Heming's account records, we can learn that Kawashima Hideo and the other three have been engaged in heroin trafficking since twelve years ago."

Xiang Yuanguang patted the account book in his hand, he opened the record, glanced at it, and then touched his chin.

"The reason why Hirata Kazuaki is said to be an accomplice in the murder of Keiji Aso is because Hirata Kazuaki was trained by Kuroiwa Tatsuji since he was a child...an accountant."

"He was already dealing heroin when he was eighteen or nineteen years old, so Kuroiwa Tatsuji would rather kill his son-in-law than save Hirata Nakamura."

"But I didn't expect that Hirata Heming was secretly colluding with another accomplice Kawashima Hideo to help Kawashima Hideo fight for the position of village chief."

Xiang Yuanguang looked at the witness stand, which had completely collapsed and was ramming the stand frantically, and Kawashima Hideo, who looked as pale as death.

"Haha, it is precisely because of Hirata Heming's idea of ​​having the best of both worlds that we are able to know the whole truth now!"

"The account book clearly records that the heroin transaction started three years ago and was interrupted for a period of time a year and a half ago. That was the drug smuggling and trafficking case on Yueying Island three years ago!"

When Xiang Yuanguang said this, he couldn't help but touch the back of his head which still felt some phantom pain. He took a deep breath and continued his narration.

"In the third trial court, I found something wrong with the words of the witness Kameyama Isamu, so I went to Tsukikage Island to investigate with the defendant Asanari Minoru."

"Mase Minoru was moved by the scene and played the piano in the community hall, which led to the legend, but also distracted me and was attacked by Takeo Nishida."

"My train of thought was interrupted at that time. I endured the injury and proved Kameyama Yong's crime in the courtroom before leaving in a hurry——"

Xiang Yuanguang patted the shoulder of Arita Ryosuke beside him and said with great pride.

"Then for this case, I asked my friend to restart the investigation process of Case SL3 and asked Officer Gao Mu to enter Moon Shadow Island to collect evidence."

"I didn't expect that Officer Takagi would accidentally uncover the case of Hirata Kazuaki attacking Murasawa Shuichi, which led to a series of subsequent court trials."

"Finally, thanks to the help of my friend, the truth of all the cases was connected and all the truth was uncovered!"

"Mr. Judge, it's almost time to issue the final verdict!"

The entire case was "completely" clear at this moment, and the presiding judge nodded.

He banged his gavel and declared solemnly.

"This court hereby declares that the defendant in this case, Aso Shigenori, and the defendant twelve years ago, Aso Keiji, are not guilty!"

"The trial of witnesses Takeo Nishida, Hideo Kawashima, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, and Ken Nishimoto will be held in the First Trial Court soon!"

"Now, adjourn the court!!!"

The audience was silent and in uproar, and the next moment, they cheered.

"Not guilty!"

"Not guilty!"

"Not guilty!"

Xiang Yuanguang stood in the sunlight. He looked at Ma Chengshi, who was in the dock with tears in his eyes, and nodded.

Faintly, he seemed to see Keiji Aso, whom he had only seen in photos, standing next to Aso Mizuki, smiling and nodding at him.

Then, Aso Keiji turned around and walked out of the Grand Courtroom. His figure gradually became illusory and finally disappeared completely.

"Goodbye, Aso."

Said to Yuan Guang with a smile.

The results of this court hearing——————

【Not guilty】
