People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 994 Standing outside the door!

The Japanese Public Security Bureau is a modern-day intelligence organization.

Getting into a local headquarters of the Japanese Public Security Bureau is no easy feat, especially the Tokyo Regional Public Security Bureau Headquarters, which is equivalent to the capital of Japan.

On this basis, meeting with the chief investigator of the Tokyo District Public Security Headquarters, the highest command of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, becomes an even more difficult task.

Since Xiang Yuanguang first came into contact with Investigator Li.

He had never actually met this Japanese Public Security Bureau undercover investigator before. In his eyes, the undercover investigator was also shrouded in mystery. However, now he had the opportunity to meet him.

Following Amuro Tooru, they walked through the offices of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

The nearby Japanese police officers frowned when they saw Xiang Yuanguang's conspicuous blue coat.

Members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau usually wear inconspicuous clothing. A blue coat would be quite conspicuous in the whole of Tokyo, so someone who would wear that is definitely not a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

Then, they looked up to see who this non-Japanese public security officer was.

To be honest, they didn't react much when they saw the face.

But once you see that conspicuous spiky hair, combined with the blue coat he's wearing...

The Japanese police officers immediately recognized who the person was and were filled with respect, pretending not to have seen anyone else enter.

One yard owned by a yard.

Can Xiang Yuanguang be considered the same as ordinary people who are not allowed to enter the local headquarters of the Japanese Public Security Bureau?
Amuro Tooru also noticed the reactions of his other colleagues.

However, he has become accustomed to it.

After all, in cases prosecuted by the Japanese Public Security Bureau, almost no one has been able to successfully defend themselves or steer the case in the right direction; Xiang Yuanguang is the first in this regard.

Xiang Yuanguang had already earned the reputation of a legendary lawyer in Tokyo's legal circles.

This has now been confirmed. Although the police system and the Japanese public security system have never gotten along, they still maintain a respectful attitude towards Hikaru Mukamoto.

It's normal for these people to turn a blind eye.

Amuro Tooru took two quick steps and placed his hand on the doorknob.

Then he turned the doorknob, opened the door, and stepped aside to let Xiang Yuanguang go in first.

Before going in, Xiang Yuanguang looked up at the sign above.

[The Inspector General's Office].

If this door sign hasn't been changed, then this should be the right place.

After confirming the address, Xiang Yuanguang went inside.

Following closely behind, Amuro Tooru also went inside, closing the door behind him to prevent the conversation inside from being heard.

The investigator's office was surprisingly simple.

Xiang Yuanguang glanced around at the office layout.

Apart from filing cabinets for storing things and coat racks for clothes, the office only contained desks and office equipment that came with them; there was nothing else.

There were no decorations at all.

This surprised Xiang Yuanguang somewhat, because normally people at this level like to have some decorations, such as hanging murals or calligraphy in their offices.

"You came?"

The investigator gave a dry, polite reply, seemingly unaccustomed to saying such things.

That's understandable; how could an officer in a secret service agency possibly have the opportunity to be polite to others?
You can't just be polite when you're using a major memory restoration technique on a target, can you?

Xiang Yuanguang's gaze then fell on the investigator.

This Japanese Public Security Bureau undercover investigator was dressed in a plain black uniform.

His hair was completely white, but his eyes were very bright. Although there were wrinkles on his face, he didn't look old at all, giving the impression of a young man in his twenties or thirties. "...It's been a while since I've seen him, and he's still the same as I remember him."

Xiang Yuan's voice carried a hint of nostalgia.

The invincible spirit behind him reappeared at some point, appearing behind Xiang Yuanguang.

However, Xiang Yuanguang was not surprised at all.

Even before communicating with Xiang Yuan, Xiang Yuan had already guessed that Xiang Yuan and the investigator had a close relationship.

In subsequent collaborations, he became even more certain that Xiang Yuan and Investigator Li must have a deep connection, and that Xiang Yuan Guang already knew that the two were old acquaintances.

That's why Xiang Yuanguang was completely unceremonious when facing the undercover investigators.

He placed the black diary he was holding on the table, braced his hands on the desk, and said solemnly,
"This is my diary."

"Everything I've investigated over the past three years is listed here. Take a look."

—Three years? All the things investigated?
Amuro Tooru, standing in his office, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He knew that Xiang Yuanguang and Investigator Li were partners.

However, he knew nothing about the fact that Xiang Yuanguang had been missing for three years while the gang's investigators were investigating something.

This shows that Xiang Yuanguang's relationship with the investigator is even closer than he imagined!

Amuro Tooru was interested in seeing what was written in the diary that Minamoto Mitsu had submitted.

However, it was clear that Inspector Li did not give him that chance.

Although Amuro Tooru, as a member of the Japanese Public Security Zero Division, has a high level of authority in operations against the Black Organization, this does not mean that Amuro Tooru holds a high position in the local headquarters.

The investigator did not intend to let Amuro Tooru, who was not in charge of this matter, know this information.

He waved.

Amuro Tooru immediately understood. He sighed, turned around, pushed the door open, and left, closing the door behind him.

The soundproofing in the investigator's office is excellent; people outside can't hear anything that's going on inside.

Even listening by leaning against the door is the same.

Therefore, the investigator was able to speak with Kouji Mugen about serious matters only after Amuro Tooru left his office.

In the corridor, Kazami Yuya came over from where he had been waiting.

He saw Amuro Tooru standing outside the detective's office and asked with some curiosity,
"What's wrong, Mr. Amuro? Why are you standing outside?"

"You don't even have the right to listen to the conversation between Attorney Xiang Yuan and Investigator Li?"

Don't ask questions you already know the answer to.

Amuro Tooru stared at Kazami Yuya with a disapproving look.

Kazami Yuya chuckled twice and simply stood next to Amuro Tooru.

It's okay. They're just colleagues, and they don't have any missions anyway, so it's fine for them to spend time with Amuro Tooru and the like.

"You've already investigated thoroughly?"

“I saw that you suddenly returned to Tokyo and then soon resumed your work as a lawyer, and you didn’t contact me again. I thought you had given up on this investigation.”

The investigator clasped his hands together, fingers interlaced, and rested his chin on them.

It has a distinct Gendo Ikari vibe.

He asked,
"Did something happen that I don't know about?"
