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

(Two, two tape recorders...!?)

Conan's thoughts exploded, silver needles filled his brain, and his glasses lit up.

(So ​​that's how it is...! It's true that Asai Narimi wanted to kill Kawashima Hideo, so he placed a tape recorder in the piano room in advance, intending to create a special atmosphere to cover up his crime process. However, he didn't expect to hear the tape recorder music that shouldn't have sounded before killing Kawashima Hideo.)

(That's why Asai Narumi quickly returned to the piano room to check on the recorder, but he happened to discover another murder case, which led to another murderer's unsuccessful attempt to kill Murasawa Shuichi...)

(Both of them planned to use the piano curse left by Keiji Aso to cover up their murder methods and processes, so they prepared tape recorders at the same time, but in the end they just happened to collide with each other!)

Conan didn't know what to say now.

Does it mean that Asai Narumi is lucky, or that Murasawa Shuichi is lucky.

If Asai Narimi had not planned to kill anyone, Murasawa Shuichi would have been killed directly.

If Murasawa Shuichi had not come to the piano room, Asai Narimi would have been imprisoned for murder.

Everything seems too coincidental, which is a bit weird.

"…Am I late?"

A familiar voice sounded from the door. This time, Conan looked up and saw two acquaintances.

One is Takagi Wataru of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and the other is Dr. Asai Narimi.

When Officer Takagi saw Murasawa Shuichi lying inside, he couldn't help but become nervous.

But seeing that no one was crying, I thought that he was probably just unconscious and not dead yet.

He took the certificate out of his pocket and showed it to everyone.

"I'm Officer Takagi Wataru of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division 1, the Criminal Investigation Division 3."

"An attempted murder has occurred here. Therefore, I ask everyone to stay here to avoid problems in the subsequent investigation. I have already reported this to Inspector Megure of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

"Inspector Megure of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will bring people to investigate tomorrow at noon at the latest. Is that ok, everyone?"

Conan noticed that Asai Narimi had handcuffs on his wrists.

(Asai Shigemi was arrested as the criminal who attacked Murasawa Shuichi. It's troublesome.)

(No one can leave now... Then we can only wait until Inspector Megure arrives at Tsukikage Island tomorrow to proceed with the next step...)

"Officer Takagi, I want to point out one thing. There was another person in the community center who should have been there but didn't. That person was Kuroiwa Tatsuji's assistant who had been guarding outside the piano room during the day - Hirata Tomaki!"

At this time, Nanatsuki Koshimizu raised a new suspect.

"Therefore, please use the radio in the community center to summon Hirata Kazuaki to come here for investigation!"

————April 16, 8:40 a.m.——————

————Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Documents Room————

Xiang Yuanguang quickly flipped through the documents in his hand.

He shook his head from time to time, and after flipping through it roughly, he put the document back where it was.

(As expected of a country with a very high rate of unnatural death case closures, the case files are arranged like this.)

Where are the documents related to the Keiji Aso murder and self-immolation case from twelve years ago?

He sighed and looked at the officer in the document room next to him.

When the policeman in charge of the file room noticed Xiang Yuanguang looking at him, he immediately looked away embarrassedly.

Originally, a clerk policeman like him in the file room should not only know the file room inside and out, but at least know where the cases are classified and placed.

However, since most of the files were closed as unnatural deaths, there was no point in looking them up again, so he didn't really remember much about them...

Therefore, when Xiang Yuanguang came to look for the documents, the policeman could not help at all.

"Wow... where can it be, really."

Xiang Yuanguang's hand moved across the file bags on the bookshelves, and suddenly, he stopped.

Because, at this moment, a page suddenly popped up.

[Court records: Exhibit · Case records of Keiji Aso's murder and self-immolation case have been added to the court records. ]

Really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

Xiang Yuanguang took the file bag out from the bookshelf and looked at the mark on the surface of the bag.

"The [SL3] incident? It brings back some bad memories."

He paused for a moment on the two words "Keiji Aso" in the columns of the deceased and murderer on the file bag.

He walked up to the counter in the file room and spoke to the clerical police officer in charge of the file room.

"I will need to use this case record as evidence in my subsequent defense. Could you please register it?"

"And... I need to look through the contents. I'd like you to be a witness."

The clerical policeman was somewhat flattered.

In his opinion, Xiang Yuanguang was a fairly famous magician and lawyer.

Such a person actually used honorifics to address him...

The clerk policeman hurriedly pulled out a pen from the pen holder beside him and replied to Xiang Yuanguang.

"I understand. I'll record it now..."

"Well... on April 3th, at 3: am, the lawyer registered the case record of incident [SL] with Yuan Guang as evidence for the next case, and borrowed the contents of the case record of incident [SL]..."

"Okay, you can open the file bag and read it."

Xiang Yuanguang was also somewhat flattered.

He is a poor lawyer who can barely afford plain noodles, but he is unexpectedly popular in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Why? Because he sent his own defendants to jail?

"sorry to bother you."

Without thinking any more, Xiang Yuanguang placed his hand on the button of the file bag.

He was just about to unbutton the briefcase when he heard hurried footsteps outside.

Turning around, Xiang Yuanguang just saw several policemen rushing out in a panic.

(What kind of incident is this? So many people are dispatched at once.)

(Well, never mind. It’s none of my business. I should finish reading the documents here first.)

"Master Xiang Yuan, what you want to borrow is the murder case file on Moon Shadow Island twelve years ago, right?"

"We received information from Officer Takagi yesterday that Inspector Megure has led a group of people to Tsukikage Island to investigate."

"The second group is going there now. They are going to take a boat to Moon Shadow Island to check the situation. They will probably arrive at Moon Shadow Island at noon... Wow! Master Xiang Yuan, why do you suddenly look so gloomy?"

The clerk policeman looked at the criminal police passing by in a panic outside, remembered something, and said casually.

But before he finished speaking, he felt that the environment around him had become a little colder. When he raised his head, he was startled by Xiang Yuanguang's expression.

Although Xiang Yuanguang seemed a little anxious just now, he was generally kind.

Now he seems a little bit nuclear, as if he will tear his clothes to reveal the Big Dipper on his chest in the next moment, and then shout loudly and use the legendary Fist of the North Star to beat someone to death...!

"Moon Shadow Island? Has a murder occurred? Is the murderer, Asai Narimi?"

Xiang Yuanguang's hand was on the button of the file bag, but he was reluctant to unbutton it.

He knew that the situation was developing in the direction he least wanted to see.

Even if Officer Takagi was sent to Tsukikage Island in advance, would it not have prevented the murders?

"Ah... yes, yes. There was a murder case that was stopped by Officer Takagi, so it was an attempted murder."

"And the murder suspect reported by Officer Takagi is indeed a man named Asai Narimi."

"...That's it."

Xiang Yuanguang sighed and put the file bag in his hand on the table.

Said so.

"Please keep this document for me. I need to go to Moon Shadow Island for a field investigation."

"Please do not give this case record to anyone else until I return... only let them read it."

"Mr. Policeman, is that okay?"

Give it to someone else? Who can take the case records directly from the file room?

Doesn't that require prior application to Minister Oda?

The clerk policeman was a little confused, but nodded anyway.

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone else take the documents unless Minister Oda gives the order."

Nodding to Yuan Guang, he turned and hurried away.

About half an hour later, another person walked into the file room.

This time it was a woman who came. She showed her ID and spoke seriously.

"Recently, the Kuma prosecutor requested that the SL3 case be reopened."

"The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office has appointed me as the prosecutor for this case."

"Please bring me the case records for the SL3 incident. I need to record and review the evidence."

The visitor is the ace of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, the Madonna of the legal world, Reiko Kujo.

Her status in the legal world is comparable to that of Eri Kisaki.

Moreover, in the duel with Eri Kisaki, he achieved a good record of... losing all the games without any wins.

He specially went to the Law School of the United States for further studies. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a special case less than three days after returning to Tokyo.

But what Reiko Kujo didn't expect was that the clerical police rejected her request.

“Sorry, a lawyer has already signed the form to use the case record of the SL3 case as an exhibit.”

"Ms. Kujo Reiko, unless you have a warrant from Minister Oda, you cannot directly requisition the SL3 records."

(Has a lawyer signed the form? Is this the lawyer who will defend you in the reopened SL3 case?)

A hint of surprise flashed in Kujo Reiko's eyes.

(The only person who can take on such a difficult case is Attorney Fei.)

(It seems like this is another chance to confront Lawyer Fei.)

She nodded. There was no record of the forced requisition of SL3.

"Then please lend me the case records so I can take photos and look through them."

……

On the boat heading to Moonshadow Island.

Xiang Yuanguang, panting, sat next to a group of criminal police officers and looked at his watch.

April 16, 8:53 am.

"I hope I can still catch up with the final investigation..."

Chapter 46 Xiang Yuanguang Arrives (Please Read)

————April 16, 12:40 p.m.————

————Moon Shadow Island, Community Hall————

Inspector Megure is confirming the specific situation at the scene with Takagi.

The victim, Murasawa Monday, is in a not-so-optimal physical condition and was rushed to a hospital in Tokyo for emergency treatment last night. There is a high probability that there is no problem, after all, emergency measures were taken immediately.
