I'm in Conan, but I'm in Ace Attorney

Page 11

"You say if it's not against the rules, then it's not against the rules? I think this is clearly against the rules!"

"If you continue like this, [don't hold the trial]!"

Kisaki Eri covered her forehead with her hands, unable to bear to look.

"Lawyer Nakano, what are you doing?"

The presiding judge stared at Nakano Soki.

"I'll just slam the table!"

Nakano Soki answered.

"Can you try taking another shot?"

The presiding judge's expression was particularly unfriendly.

Nakano Sosuke stretched out his hand, wanting to take a picture but stopped himself, and finally scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Haha, I won't take any more photos."

The courtroom finally quieted down.

The presiding judge came to his senses and realized that it seemed to be time for Kogoro Mori to testify.

So he banged the gavel again.

"Now that the defense attorney has quieted down, let's continue the trial."

"Please ask the witness, Detective Maori, to give your testimony. Don't be careless this time."

Chapter 14 I can wear that kind of clothes too!

Kogoro Mori was just startled by Souji Nakano's actions.

Although he has absolutely no common sense in court, it should be quite rare for such an irritable lawyer to directly report the prosecutor.

(Oh, I have such bad luck that this kind of thing happens to me.)

Detective Maori adjusted the tie around his neck and spoke uncomfortably.

"Then, I will continue my testimony."

[Testimony begins]

"After lawyer Xiang Yuanguang appeared, I suspected that Xiang Yuanguang was the murderer."

"But he used surveillance to prove his alibi, and the surveillance captured the murderer hiding the murder weapon."

"And the time when the murder weapon was hidden was exactly the time when we entered Xiangyuan Office to search for the murder weapon."

"Conan, who was traveling with us, said at this time that Kotoichiro and Arita Kousuke had left during this period of time."

"Then, Xiang Yuanguang discovered that there were bloodstains on the sleeves of the murderer and Koto Ichiro in the surveillance video."

"So, the police arrested Kototo Ichiro, and then I left. I don't know what happened next."

[End of testimony]

This time, Kogoro Mori's testimony was more rigorous than his previous testimony.

It is also more disadvantageous to the defense.

"Teacher Kieri... what should I do?"

Beads of sweat appeared on Nakano Souji's forehead, and he looked at the teacher next to him.

And Eri Kisaki, who originally attended only as a lawyer's assistant, has now become the main lawyer.

She thought about Kogoro Mori's testimony, looking for clues that might lead to a revelation, and looked through the evidence in her hands.

(The surveillance video is too blurry. Can you really see the tiny bloodstain on the sleeve?)

(In addition to Kototo Ichirō, another suspect is Arita Kousuke.)

(This is the breakthrough.)

Tuk Tuk.

Kisaki Eri stretched out her fingers and tapped the table, attracting everyone's attention.

"The presence of blood on the cuffs does not mean that the defendant is the murderer."

"He was a good friend of the deceased. After he found the deceased, he went to check on him. It was understandable that his sleeves were stained with blood. Moreover, the surveillance video was so blurry! Why did the prosecutors think that lawyer Xiang Yuanguang could see the insignificant and unclear blood on his sleeves?"

Evidence————[Evidence: surveillance video from Xiangyuan Office].

The situation reversed again. Yes, blood could indeed be seen on Ichiro Koto's cuffs in the surveillance video.

But that is something that can only be seen after multiple magnifications, which is impossible for normal people to do!

Conan's voice came from the headphones.

Xiang Yuanguang was holding the cup of coffee, his face full of frowns.

A famous detective like you is just a wallflower. If a normal person could see it, I would have pointed it out directly.

Do you really need to use my voice to refute Kotoichiro and reveal the truth of the case?

"Lawyer Xiang Yuanguang has excellent physical fitness and can see the bloodstains clearly."

"Besides, after the criminal investigators enlarged the photo, they could definitely see the blood on the cuffs."

"The defense should stop wasting time talking!"

The coffee fell onto the table again, and the coffee liquid inside splashed out and landed on the table.

Prosecutor Gold's tone became more oppressive.

"Delaying time? That's not necessarily the case. I have already provided new evidence!"

Kisaki Eri tapped the table again.

“Even if the person who [hid] the murder weapon could be the defendant, the murderer could not be the defendant.”

"I suspect that the real murderer is Hirosuke Arita! The defendant did this under the coercion of Hirosuke Arita!"

"Watch this! I want to show you evidence!"

Present——————[Evidence: surveillance video from the shopping mall].

A new image appeared on the projector in the courtroom.

Above is a shopping mall, and a surprising scene appeared at the counter inside the mall.

The defendant, Koto Ichiro, is talking to the counter clerk!

The time above is 6:55 a.m. "It takes at least 20 minutes to get from the mall to Xiangyuan Office!"

"So the time of the crime in the autopsy report, 7:11 a.m., is impossible for the defendant to have committed the crime!"

Eri Kisaki calmly narrated the contradictions in the case.

"What!? There is such a thing!?"

the presiding judge exclaimed.

Kogoro Mouri, who was still in the witness stand, stroked his chin.

If there is an alibi, then murder is impossible.

The situation has been reversed again!

Drink the coffee in your hand.

Xiang Yuanguang changed to a new cup of coffee and tried to wake himself up.

(You actually have an alibi? If this continues... it's going to be reversed.)

(As expected of the undefeated legend of the legal profession in the Conan world, he can actually do this.)

(Flaw, flaw, flaw… Where is the flaw?)

He stared at the surveillance video on the projector and fell into thought.

Is it really that there is something wrong with my thinking?

[Xiang Yuan, are you going to give up? ]

Conan, who was communicating with Xiang Yuanguang through the instrument, also became serious.

[Didn’t you say something like this when you deduced that the real murderer was Kotoichiro? ]

['Reverse the thinking', right? ]

He touched his bow-tie voice changer and looked at 'Koto Ichiro' in the video through the eye device of Xiang Yuanguang.

Although this lawyer has a strong sense of justice, his reasoning and observation skills are not up to standard.

So, Conan said as a reminder.

[Don't think that Kotoichiro has an alibi, so he is not the murderer. ]

【Instead, we should think about why he is the real murderer but has an alibi. 】

[Here's a small tip for you, Xiang Yuan. You're not wearing the lawyer's medal and blue coat right now. With the voice changer I gave you, you can change your appearance and appear as Prosecutor Gold————]

"————In other words, the defendant's entire face did not appear in the surveillance video from beginning to end. This cannot be used as the defendant's alibi!"

Xiang Yuanguang found a fatal loophole in the evidence presented by Kisaki Eri.

Word bomb, launch!

"Just because they were wearing the same clothes can be used as an alibi!?"

"I can wear this kind of clothes too!"

The background music that only Xiang Yuanguang could hear sounded.

The strong wind swept in all directions with the source of light as the center.

Even the undefeated Queen of Law subconsciously took several steps back.

Hibiki Eri stared at Xiang Yuanguang in surprise.

(What? This new guy... actually has such a strong aura?)

(No no no, teacher, it was really windy just now.)

Nakano Souki knew what the teacher was thinking without even looking at her expression, and he silently complained in his heart.

"Of course, evidence alone cannot serve as an alibi for the defendant."
