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

Matsuo Takashi said urgently, but as soon as he said it, he realized something was wrong.

He spread out his hands, shook his head and said so.

"Then, a new doubt arises from this. Why did you ask your assistant to call Mr. Yefang and confirm Mr. Yefang's location? Is it related to Mr. Yefang's dispersal of the staff on the fourth floor?"

"W-what? I..."

"Also! With the help of Doctor Asai, I discovered that the bullet holes on the deceased's body were not left from [front to back], but [from top to bottom]!"

Officer Takagi once again provided new evidence.

He imitated Genmitsu's flying finger and pointed at Matsuo Takashi without hesitation.

"That is to say, the bullet that shot Mr. Yafu Michihiko was not fired from the mixing room, but from [a room] above the fourth floor. So, Mr. Matsuo, you are a suspect!"

"After wiping off the blood on the window, the bullet hole left there proves this point!!!"

[Court Records: Exhibit Window with Bullet Holes Added to Court Records.]

Audiences across the country were shocked at the same time.

An absolutely true reversal drama is happening right before their eyes!

Chapter 36 The Final Argument

The bullet did not penetrate the victim's chest from front to back, but from top to bottom.

Considering how dark the environment was at the time, the person who was able to do this, if not relying on his luck, could only have excellent marksmanship and be able to kill with one shot.

"From this perspective, even if the murderer is not at the door of the mixing room on the fourth floor."

"You can also shoot Mr. Yafumihiko."

Kogoro Maori lowered his head and spoke in a steady and orderly manner.

"You said so, right? Mr. Matsuo Takashi?"

"From this perspective, it is indeed... true."

Matsuo Takashi's expression became increasingly ugly.

The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for him. If this continues...

"But the person who shot and killed Yawa Michihiko may not be Mr. Matsuo Takashi."

"After all, there is other evidence in the mixing room that can refute this."

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

(evidence……?)

Takashi Matsuo's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

He said with great excitement.

"Yes, aren't there bullet holes on the walls and paintings in the mixing room?"

"It's clear that the murderer fired several shots at Yefang Daoyan but missed, and only shot him with the last shot!"

After saying this, Inspector Megure looked at Xiang Yuanguang and felt quite disappointed with him.

Matsuo Takashi obviously can't remember this matter, why are you reminding him?

Isn't this a disadvantage for you? Is it that the sewing machine is so attractive to you?

But at this time, Xiang Yuanguang smiled.

Not only did he smile at Yuan Guang, but Conan in the corner also had a subtle smile on his face.

The previous doubts only proved that the murderer shot and killed Yefang Daoyan upstairs.

But exactly where it is is difficult to prove.

But at this moment, Takashi Matsuo revealed an absolute flaw.

This loophole will be able to send him to prison completely.

"That's strange, Mr. Matsuo."

Kogoro Mori's voice was low.

"I didn't say what the evidence in the mixing room was that refuted this, did I?"

Inspector Megure, Officer Takagi, Officer Sato, as well as many witnesses and onlookers were on the scene.

At this moment, I finally understood the intention of Genguang's previous reminder to Matsuo Takashi.

If it is said that Takashi Matsuo is not the murderer, or has nothing to do with the murderer.

Then, he couldn't possibly know what [the evidence from the mixing room that refutes this] is.

But Matsuo Takashi not only knew it, but also said it directly!

"If we hadn't investigated and collected evidence, we wouldn't have known there were bullet holes in the wall of the mixing room, right?"

Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers, completely establishing his chance of victory.

If such testimony were given in court, it would be considered an inducement and would generally not be admitted as evidence.

Unfortunately, this is the Conan world, and you can play like this even in court, let alone outside of court.

"Reverse the idea and consider who might know what was going on in the mixing room instead of considering that only the criminal investigators involved in the investigation and evidence collection could know what was going on in the mixing room."

Conan then used the voice changer to continue reasoning with Genkou.

"If you think about it from this perspective, then there is only one truth - Mr. Matsuo Takashi, you are the real murderer who killed Mr. Yafu Michihiko!"

The whole audience was silent.

Yes, as a lawyer, Mukai Genmiko used words as weapons to refute, and as a detective, Mori Kogoro used evidence as ammunition. This bullet called Ronpa hit Matsuo Takashi's forehead without a doubt.

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——————”

Matsuo Takashi made an ear-piercing explosion.

He's completely broken down.

Even if he is only the prime suspect of a crime, he will definitely be found guilty if he faces a lawyer who can manipulate the court.

(I, I... all the preparations I made for this crime... what on earth is that!?)

(It was actually cracked in such a short time!!)

thump.

The detective next to him finally reacted and, under the leadership of Takagi, pressed Matsuo Takashi to the ground.

Inspector Megure glanced at the camera next to him that was still broadcasting live.

He took out his ID in an extremely handsome and serious manner and said to Matsuo Takashi.

Takashi Matsuo was pinned to the ground, and he did not struggle.

Even though he was once a criminal police officer, he had not received any training in many years.

The only skill he has left is his marksmanship, which is still as strong as it was back then.

He raised his head, stared at Yuan Guang and Detective Maori, and roared angrily.

"It's not over yet! You two third-rate detectives! Where is the actual evidence that I committed murder?"

"Could it be that the police from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are actually relying on the detective's one-sided statement?"

"You're arresting me without any evidence!?"

Inspector Megure's hand froze in mid-air. It was not right to take it back, nor was it right to continue showing it.

Although he really wanted to say, "If anything happens to you, come with me."

But considering the public impact, he still cannot arrest Matsuo Takashi directly.

"Brother Mao Li, Brother Xiang Yuan, just take out the final evidence and deal him a fatal blow!"

After pondering the pros and cons, Inspector Megure's extremely smart brain told him that it was time to pass the question to the famous detective.

So he looked at Genmi Mukai and the sleeping Kogoro Mori.

In the absence of evidence, argument is not Xiang Yuanguang's strong point.

He snapped his fingers and gave the stage to Conan and Conan's mouth substitute Mouri Kogoro.

"It seems... you still won't give up, Mr. Matsuo."

"The boss has opened up the surveillance footage from all over the editorial office to us, which means we can check who entered the mixing room on the fourth floor. I guess when Mr. Matsuo created the bullet hole in the mixing room, he must have gone there alone, right?"

The sleeping Kogoro Mouri revealed all the evidence in public.

This made Takashi Matsuo's face paler and paler.

"Besides, you said on the show that you used to be a criminal police officer and you are a good shooter. Even if you were right above the window of the mixing room on the fourth floor, or the window of the [Prop Warehouse] on the seventh floor, you could have shot and killed Mr. Yefang who was looking up at you, right?"

"As for why Yefang Daoyan dispersed the staff on the fourth floor in advance and why he looked up at the window on the seventh floor, it was all because of you. You called and informed us of this in advance."

"If Mr. Matsuo wishes to dispute this, please prove it with evidence, namely, your mobile phone. This type of phone can replay the last call to the person before it is turned off."

"If you didn't call the deceased, then the last call should have been the one I made to the hotel reception during the recording of the show."

The sleeping Maori Kogoro finally said.

"Do you dare to call the replay button on your mobile phone to verify whether what I said is correct?"

Matsuo Takashi was silent.

He recalled the content of the detective short film he had chosen, in which his sister took advantage of her brother's trust due to a conflict of interest, and then shot her brother to death, but was finally discovered by the detective.

Perhaps he had anticipated this a long time ago, so he chose to broadcast such a detective short film.

"...I admit my guilt... I was the one who killed Yafu Michihiko."

Chapter 37 Prelude to Moon Shadow Island

Takashi Matsuo was arrested urgently.

Several years after the All Japan Detective Agency unit was broadcast on the Nichiren Television Editorial Department.

The program host Takashi Matsuo and the program producer Michihiko Yawata.

At this time, one was going to prison and the other had already gone to hell.

After being pushed into the police car, Takashi Matsuo turned his head and looked at Yuan Guang.

He said in a heavy tone, puzzled.

"Xiang Yuanguang, how did you know that I had killed someone at that time?"

"If you didn't know about this, I wouldn't have been arrested after the show was over."

Xiang Yuanguang smiled awkwardly and touched the back of his head.

Yes, how did you know?

He touched his lawyer badge guiltily and replied.

"Maybe this is the sixth sense of a dead-end lawyer. After all, I'm an undefeated lawyer since my debut."

The lawyer who has never lost since his debut...

I didn't expect that I would be defeated by a lawyer who talked nonsense and a third-rate detective.

Takashi Matsuo was stunned. It was only after the detective next to him pushed him that he got into the police car.

Beep, beep, beep…

The police car drove away, and the editorial office of Nichimei TV outside the window was getting farther and farther away.

Matsuo Takashi felt more and more melancholy.

The program I have worked hard on for so many years, the place where I have worked for so many years.
