"Hmph, I believe you. When you're done reading the music score, give it to the detective for safekeeping."

"I will be your defense attorney tomorrow. Just wait for the not guilty verdict!"

Xiang Yuanguang, who already had a clear understanding of the attempted murder case on Yueying Island, walked out of the detention center without hesitation.

He already knew the truth of the matter.

If the person who wanted to kill Murasawa Shuichi was not Asai Narimi, then it could only be Hirata Kazuaki.

When the time comes, we will prove in the court that Hirata Heming is guilty in the witness stand!

Tick, tick, tick.

The footsteps of Xiang Yuanguang gradually faded away.

Asai Narimi kept his hands on the music score as he watched the hedgehog-haired man in a blue suit walking away.

Only after Xiang Yuanguang's back had completely disappeared did he lower his head and begin to flip through the contents of the music score.

His father, Keiji Aso, once taught him how to write the code words in music scores...

Therefore, it only took a short time for Asai Narimi to decipher the content of the music score's secret code.

The truth of the case twelve years ago... and the last words his father left him... [Chengshi, my son, you must live well.]

"Father……"

His heart was blinded by hatred and he never carefully looked at the music scores left by his father.

At this moment, Asai Narimi finally understood why Xiang Yuanguang tried his best to persuade him not to kill.

[If you kill someone, there is no going back.]

Holding the music score in his arms, Asai Narimi spoke softly.

"...Thank you, Attorney."

Outside the detention center, Nanatsuki Koshimizu leaned against the wall, looking at Yuanguang Xiang who had just come out with some surprise.

She originally thought that all the famous detectives in Tokyo were fools, but she didn't expect Xiang Yuanguang to be quite capable.

Although I didn't figure out the situation at first, I have found the truth now...

"I say, magician, what are you going to do?"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked curiously.

When asked, Xiang Yuanguang turned his head and stared at Koshimizu Nanatsuki for a long time.

Then he said.

"Sir, who are you...?"

"Sir!?"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki retracted his previous evaluation of Mugen Mitsuki.

As expected, Tokyo's famous detectives are just a bunch of idiots!

……

————April 16, 10:15 p.m.————

————Xiangyuan Law Firm, Office————

Brush la la.

The sound of pages being turned continued.

Xiang Yuanguang flipped through the court records and evidence information on his panel.

I also looked through a printed copy of the case information of Case SL3 and the case information from three years ago.

Excluding the real Xiang Yuanguang from the trial three years ago.

Even he himself was not sure whether he could win the case.

But if even the lawyer has no confidence in winning the case, it is even less likely that the client will have confidence.

"…The key to the case lies with Hirata Heming."

"No matter what... the trial must be postponed to the next day."

"I am still missing the most crucial evidence."

Xiang Yuanguang muttered to himself, while Conan, who was next to him, lay on the table and looked through the case records.

He should have been in the office at this time, but Conan deliberately slipped out.

Conan yawned, then nodded.

"Ah, yes, I want to prove the defendant in both cases."

"Keiji Aso and Aso Shigenori are both innocent."

"It would not have been possible without Hirata Ho-aki's testimony."

Perhaps due to his young body, Conan's head began to swell little by little.

He resisted the urge to sleep and looked at Xiang Yuanguang, who had already drunk three cups of coffee and was still looking through files all night.

Finally, he asked seriously.

"I can't help you at the Inquisition tomorrow."

"Xiang Yuanguang, can you win against Prosecutor Kujo Reiko?"

Without saying anything, Xiang Yuanguang took another sip of coffee and forced himself to wake up.

Then he looked at the bright moonlight outside the window and pinched the lawyer's medal on his collar.

"It will win."

Declaration of victory after looking through the files!

Chapter 48 Intersection, then Reversal (2)

————April 17, 8:20 a.m.————

————Tokyo District, First Court————

Boom, boom, boom.

The presiding judge banged his gavel.

"Now, let's begin the trial of Tsukikage Island Asai Narimi's attempted murder case."

"Excuse me, is the prosecutor's preparation complete?"

zizi.

Prosecutor Gold took a sip of the coffee in his hand and put it down.

Then, the eye instrument suddenly projected a red light.

“The prosecution is ready.”

The presiding judge nodded and looked towards the defense position on the other side.

Xiang Yuanguang was standing alone at the defense table, which surprised even the presiding judge.

Generally, lawyers will bring at least one legal assistant with them. Why did Xiang Yuanguang come alone?

The presiding judge raised questions about this.

"Defense, don't you have a legal assistant? Are you ready for this trial?"

Xiang Yuanguang's face looked a little bitter. He shook his head, and his hedgehog hair was no longer as straight as before.

Are you kidding? I’m almost starving to death, how can I afford to hire a paralegal?

However, Xiang Yuanguang patted his cheek, forcing himself to wake up, and then he spoke seriously.

"Defense, get ready!"

The presiding judge saw Xiang Yuanguang's expression. Although he thought that the defense was not actually prepared, since Xiang Yuanguang said so, he decided to open the court.

After all, this is not a defense lawyer arranged by the state, but a lawyer hired by the defendant himself. Even if he is extremely unprofessional, he was chosen by the defendant himself.

"Well, then, this court declares."

"The trial of Asai Narimi's attempted murder case on Tsukikage Island has officially begun!"

At this moment, in the audience, Mao Lilan's eyes widened.

She clearly remembered that Prosecutor Gold was Xiang Yuanguang, and Xiang Yuanguang was Prosecutor Gold.

Why do Xiang Yuanguang and Prosecutor Gold appear at the same time?

"Oh my, hey, hey, that hedgehog-head guy is definitely no match for Prosecutor Gold."

"Hehe, in my opinion, it should be the same as last time, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, Prosecutor Gold will easily KO the hedgehog-headed lawyer!"

Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting next to Mao Li Ran, said with a smile.

Sitting in the dock, Asai Narumi felt a little uneasy.

Although Xiang Yuanguang looked confident, he was just a newcomer after all.

Although his opponent was also a prosecutor with experience in one case, he defeated the famous Eri Kisaki.

(Can Attorney Xiang Yuan really defeat Prosecutor Gold in his defense?)

"By the way, Prosecutor Gold, are you attending on behalf of Prosecutor Kuma again this time?"

The presiding judge suddenly remembered something and asked.

Prosecutor Gold nodded, took a sip of coffee, and then spoke.

"Yes, I am attending this trial on behalf of Prosecutor Kuma Sukawa."

"Let's stop here for the polite words. Next, let me explain the circumstances of this case."

despair.

Prosecutor Gold snapped his fingers, looked at Asai Shigemi in the dock, and began to explain.

"This incident occurred between 8 and 9 p.m. on April 15."

"Asai Narimi placed a tape recorder with the Moonlight Sonata in the piano room of the Tsukikage Island Community Center in advance."

"This recorder will sound after Asai Narimi kills someone, but something seems to have gone wrong."

thump.

The coffee cup hit the table, and the coffee inside splashed everywhere.

Prosecutor Gold said with full energy, "The music on the recorder started playing prematurely, which prevented Asai Narimi from killing the victim Murasawa Shuichi in such a short time."

"He finally escaped through the window and tried to hide in the darkness, but he was caught by Officer Takagi who was waiting there and brought to justice—"

"Haha, Ms. Asai Narimi, your darkness is really like the coffee in this coffee cup, hidden under the white cream on the surface, so deep that you can't see the bottom."

Asai Narumi did not attend the last trial of Prosecutor Gold.

Now, he heard Prosecutor Gold's strange speaking style and blinked, full of confusion.

(I didn't quite hear what Prosecutor Gold said?)

In the eyes of Prosecutor Gold, this attitude was like tacit consent.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, he raised the coffee cup in his hand and took another sip of coffee before speaking.

“To this end, I offer the following evidence.”

Additional evidence: Medical examination report of Murasawa Shuji.

Evidence added: Recorder A in the piano room.

Evidence added: Recorder B in the piano room.

Additional evidence: A tape recording of the Moonlight Sonata.

Additional evidence: A tape recording of the Moonlight Sonata, played with a delay.
