People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 82: Building Standards Code Book

[The Moon Shadow Island series of cases has ended, and the case reversal has been completed... A total of 800 reversal points have been obtained.]

[Achieve the achievement of "Reversal of Time" and be rewarded with one lucky draw. 】

[Consume 800 reversal points to exchange for eight draws, and the roulette wheel will spin nine times in total. ]

[Skills acquired: Guitar performance LV1, Geography LV1... BGM anytime, anywhere. 】

Sitting on the train from Tokyo to the Honichidai area, I winked at Minamoto.

The other eight skills obtained through the lottery are easy to understand, but what does this last one mean?
What is the skill of BGM anytime, anywhere?

"...Lawyer Xiang Yuan, what's wrong? I saw your eyes suddenly widened just now, and you looked surprised."

Arita Ryosuke, who was sitting next to Genkou, glanced at him and asked curiously.

"No, I just, uh... nothing, just a little bit worried about going to other areas."

Xiang Yuanguang sighed. He was holding a pile of construction-related legal books, the one on top.

It clearly says [Building Standards Law] or [Building Basics Law].

If Ryosuke Arita were to look from this angle, he could clearly see the cover of the book at the top.

On the edge of the cover there is a small note saying "A must-have for beginners, from entry to mastery."

"It's okay. Senior Xiang Yuan was able to successfully reverse a criminal case, and he is also a top student at the University of Tokyo."

"Even if we move to a new region and are not used to the local climate, we can still easily defeat our opponents!"

Although he couldn’t see the book cover, rookie lawyer Souji Nakano was very optimistic.

In his eyes, Xiang Yuanguang is a senior-level boss, on the same level as his teacher Kissing Eri.

A human rights wizard who fights only for truth and justice, defeats all opponents like a whirlwind.

With only two court appearances, he created a classic case of the "staggered trial" system in history.

He is definitely a top lawyer——————

(Uh, if Nakano Soki knew I was Prosecutor Gold, would he blush immediately?)

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

How to put it, he has never handled a civil case. The original owner may be very capable, but he is not good at this.

No, it’s not that I can’t do it, but I just don’t know how to do it!

"Don't be too optimistic. Although Xiang Yuan is a first-class mage, it is still difficult for him to face a first-class lawyer."

"You can't send the defendant's lawyer to jail along with the defendant, right? That's..."

"He is a famous lawyer in the Ikedai area, a graduate of a third-rate university, and lawyer Kumimon who has never lost a single game since his debut."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu was sitting opposite him, and she casually discouraged Nakano Souji's enthusiasm.

She had an impression of that lawyer, a famous lawyer in the Ikedai area, Kensuke Kumimon, a landslide in the legal world.

He graduated from a third-rate university where he lived a life of luxury and indulgence, and he can always turn defeat into victory every time he appears in court, no matter how ridiculous the case is.

Defense fee robber, legal fraudster, salary thief, perjury expert...

Well, according to Nanatsuki Koshimizu, it's a miracle that this guy was not sent to prison.

"By the way, Xiang Yuan, the defense fee for a single commission from Attorney Gu Meimen starts at tens of millions."

"He owns several villas, many luxury cars, and even a private cruise ship, and has hired an excellent butler."

"How come you are so poor that you have to eat plain noodles every day and run around to get commissions?"

Having said that, Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at Yuanguang with suspicion, wondering if Laoguang was pretending to be poor.

Could it be that... he doesn't like her coming to eat for free every day, so he deliberately eats vegetarian noodles every day?

"...?"

What's that look in your eyes? Although I am poor, I am not so poor as to cheat others.

Xiang Yuanguang was filled with righteous indignation. The mage is poor! Even if he is poor, he still has ambition! In the car, one could hear the dead lawyer saying things like "The mage is poor", "Can plain noodles be called plain noodles?", "I disdain to accept commissions from rich people", etc. For a moment, the atmosphere was filled with joy.

(Hey, what are they talking about? I don’t understand at all.)
Arita Ryosuke leaned against the window and shook his head secretly.

(It’s really hard to have money. I can’t experience so many fun things…)
If the dead lawyer knew what Arita Ryosuke was thinking, he would probably have a big bump on his head.

—————April 22, 4:20 p.m. —————

—————Main Ikedai District, Community Center——————

At the podium in front of many citizens of the Honichidai area who seemed to be having a hard time getting along with each other.

Nakano Souji stood there at a loss, picked up the emergency plan he had prepared, and read it haltingly.

From time to time, he looked for help at Xiang Yuanguang who was sitting in the first row.

However, the Hedgehog-Head guy was sweating profusely and had no time to care about Nakano Sosuke. He quietly asked Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

"Yueshui, what was the situation of our case... I was so busy flipping through the book that I forgot."

"...? Did you spend the whole day yesterday just studying architectural law?"

Nanatsuki Koshimizu was finally speechless about the third-rate lawyer, and she explained the current situation in a low voice.

"This civil lawsuit took place in the Honchidai area and was filed by a neighborhood committee composed of residents."

"And the target of the lawsuit is Shimadzu Real Estate Co., Ltd. in the Ikedai area."

"The reason is... the new apartment building that Shimadzu Real Estate is going to build is blocking the sunlight from the residents' houses here."

(Blocking the light? Oh, this is the country’s right to light, right?)
Xiang Yuanguang touched the back of his head. In his previous life, he had never seen anyone suing a real estate company for lighting rights.

The residents' committee of this Chitai is braver than that of the previous life. They even dared to join forces to file a lawsuit.

"So that means Shimadzu Real Estate Company is doing construction illegally? Can't they just send a lawyer's letter?"

"I don't even need to come to the community center to listen to the lawyers' meeting... What is legal construction?"

Blinking, the hedgehog raised a brow.

"You mean to say that Shimadzu's violation of the local residents' right to light is legal construction?"

Nanatsuki Koshimizu nodded and took out the relevant terrain planning map from Souji Nakano's bag.

She spread out the blueprint and saw that it clearly stated that this area was for commercial use.

If it is a residential area, the residents whose right to light has been infringed need to be compensated, but this is not the case in a commercial area.

Because from the very beginning, the law did not take into account the special situation of people living in commercial areas.

"Then, then there are no other situations to consider?"

Xiang Yuanguang swallowed his saliva. He felt like he was going to fail in his first civil case.

"...You should get started with the book on the building standards."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu shook her head. Are you a lawyer or am I a lawyer? Shouldn't you ask yourself this question?

Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap.

During the conversation, there was thunderous applause in the community center.

The chairman of the community neighborhood committee stood up, with a red scarf with the words "Construction Compensation" on it tied around his head.

He shouted loudly, "This is Mr. Nakano Sosuke, the lawyer of the Fei Law Firm!"

"He will definitely fight for fairness and justice for us. Let's applaud!!!"

Amid the applause, Nakano Sosuke felt a little overwhelmed and didn't know how much he weighed.

(Is this putting people on the spot? Forcibly linking the case to Fei Law Firm?)

(Is there something wrong with the neighborhood committee chairman? Is this case about the right to light, or...)
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and stared at the passionate chairman of the neighborhood committee.

(…Is it okay to ask for huge compensation or lighting rights?)
