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

"That's just your [assumption]! I can also say that the third person who escaped was a [witness]!"

"The witness witnessed the entire process of the crime, which led Asai Shimizu to stop the murder process and choose to chase the witness. The witness panicked and broke the glass and fled. Asai Shimizu chased him and was finally caught by Officer Takagi."

"Hmph, what do you think? Lawyer Xiang Yuan, this assumption should work, right?"

The presiding judge was about to bring down the gavel, but now he stopped.

Yes, Xiang Yuanguang just proved that the person who broke the glass was not Asai Narumi himself.

But there is no way to prove that Asai Narimi did not kill anyone. If it is just an assumption, both sides are acceptable.

"...It seems that there is still room for discussion."

The presiding judge shook his head.

(Damn it, did you find a loophole in my logic? And you still want to rush through with your momentum.)

Xiang Yuanguang was sweating profusely. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, then touched his chin and began to think.

(If I were Prosecutor Gold, which witness would I call next?)

(Etsui Nanatsuki? Hirata Heming? Shimizu Masato? Kuroiwa Reiko?)

(…Could it be Kogoro Mori?)

"Hehe, the defense's argument is indeed brilliant, but it is like a castle in the air and can't prove anything."

"The prosecution would like to invite the next witness, the sleeping detective, Kogoro Mouri, to appear!"

Prosecutor Gold handed the empty coffee cup to the bailiff next to him and asked the bailiff to get a new cup of coffee.

Only then was it proposed to invite new witnesses into the courtroom.

If we say that it is Xiang Yuanguang himself who is hiding under the guise of Prosecutor Gold.

With the experience of the last trial, Xiang Yuanguang would never ask Maori Kogoro to appear in court.

But Kuma Sukawa is not Xiang Yuanguang after all, and he has not yet directly felt the extent to which Maori Kogoro has let him down.

Therefore, Xiang Yuanguang knew that if he wanted to defeat Kuma Sukawa here, this would be the best turning point.

"Okay, then please ask Detective Takagi to leave and Detective Mori to come to the witness stand."

The presiding judge banged the gavel.

Detective Takagi, who was standing in the witness stand with sweat all over his face, left the courtroom with a sense of relief.

The police officer had just left the courtroom with a look of wanting to cry but having no tears.

It was completely different from the cheerful look before entering the courtroom.

The bailiff in charge of the gate asked Officer Takagi curiously what happened. Officer Takagi said with a sad face.

"My salary assessment for next month is going to be ruined because I didn't do a good job of on-site investigation."

The bailiff looked at Officer Takagi with sympathy.

"Then you are really unlucky to have such a powerful lawyer in the defense box."

Tick, tick, tick.

The bailiff came over from the direction of the lounge with Kogoro Mouri.

The sleeping detective exudes confidence.

"Let that unknown lawyer see the power of my great detective, Maori Kogoro!"

"...?"

He only realized it when Officer Takagi typed a question mark.

Kogoro Mori did not ask who the defense lawyer was.

He quickly reached out to grab Kogoro Mouri.

"Let me test it. Don't! The lawyer is a great wind magician..."

Crunch——————

The door of the courtroom has been pushed open.

Kogoro Mouri turned his head. He didn't hear clearly what Takagi Wataru said.

However, I don’t think it’s a big deal.

He gave a thumbs up to Takagi Shigeru, indicating that Takagi Shigeru was optimistic about his brilliant reasoning in the court.

As a result, Detective Maori turned his head again and saw Xiang Yuanguang, who seemed to be tense at the defense table, and immediately blinked his eyes.

(Hmm??? Why is Xiang Yuanguang on the defense bench? Isn’t he a mage? How can he defend?)

(…Ah, it seems like he really is a lawyer, but I never saw him in court, so I forgot about it.)

"Please ask Detective Kogoro Mori to come to the witness stand and give your testimony on this case."

Kogoro Mori tightened his tie nervously.

He came to the witness stand and glanced secretly at Prosecutor Gold.

For some reason, he felt that Prosecutor Gold seemed to have grown a little taller. Was it an illusion?

Never mind, this time is the same as last time, he just needs to say what he saw.

[Testimony begins]

"I received an invitation to go to Tsukikage Island with my daughter Maoli Ran and Conan who is fostered in my home."

"On the day I arrived at Moon Shadow Island, I heard that a ceremony would be held to inherit the rituals of the previous village chief, Kameyama Yong."

"Because I just wanted to check the status of the invitation letter, I went to the community center to attend the memorial service."

"In the middle of the ceremony, I found that Asai Narimi had left the ceremony and I didn't know where he went."

"Then I went out to look for it and found the door of the piano room was ajar, so I pushed it open and walked in."

"I just happened to see someone breaking out of the window! Although I couldn't see clearly without turning on the light, I knew it was Asai Narimi."

"After that, Officer Takagi arrested Asai Narimi and asked me to appear in court as a witness."

[End of testimony]

As soon as Kogoro Maori finished speaking, Prosecutor Gold covered his forehead with his hands. He felt a little headache.

It’s bad, this eyewitness can’t be saved. Didn’t Takagi ask him to change his testimony?

Why do you dare to speak out testimony that has already been refuted?

"It seems that Prosecutor Gold has also discovered the loophole in Maori Kogoro's words."

He snapped his fingers towards Yuan Guang and said so.

"I would like to object to this!"

The verbal bomb is launched!

Chapter 52 Intersection, then Reversal (6)

Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers again.

Although the sound of snapping fingers was not loud, it was clear enough for everyone to hear.

"I question the first, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth statements made by witness Maori Kogoro. Please answer my questions, witness Maori Kogoro."

The first, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth, a total of five testimonies.

However, Kogoro Mori only gave seven statements of testimony in total.

(Wow… Five of the seven testimonies have flaws? Is this true?)

Uncle Maori swallowed and became a little nervous.

Compared to facing Hibiki Eri, he felt that facing Xiang Yuanguang was more stressful.

One of the reasons is of course that he and Kisaki Eri are husband and wife, so the sense of oppression is not strong.

But it also shows that Xiang Yuanguang's defense method as a lawyer is completely different from that of Kisaki Eri.

It is extremely aggressive and intimidating, and difficult for normal people to resist.

At the main seat, the presiding judge shook his head.

Sure enough, at the last trial, the presiding judge of the Third Trial Chamber said that Kogoro Mouri’s testimony ability was not good enough.

I originally thought it was because I didn’t have enough experience defending in court for the first time, but now it seems that it was just a simple lack of ability.

He looked at Prosecutor Gold at the prosecution table next to him for confirmation.

"Does Prosecutor Gold have any objection to asking Attorney Jun Minamoto for five statements about Kogoro Mori?"

objection……

Prosecutor Gold grabbed the freshly brewed coffee and stared at the cream on the surface of the coffee thoughtfully.

He really wanted to raise an objection, but the question was, was there anything to object to at this point in time?

"No, the prosecution did not raise any objection or rebuttal to the defense's questioning requests."

"Please let the defense begin their questioning."

Boom, boom, boom.

The presiding judge struck the gavel several times and announced solemnly.

"Then please ask Attorney Genkou about the testimony of the witness, Detective Maori Kogoro."

Meanwhile, in the gallery.

Suzuki Sonoko found that something seemed wrong and Prosecutor Gold did not seem as powerful as before.

Also, Kogoro Mouri looks very nervous. Why is that?

"Xiao Lan, this is so strange. Prosecutor Gold didn't say a word. Shouldn't he smash the coffee cup at this time?"

"What, what do you mean by smashing the coffee cup? You don't have to smash something like that..."

Although she didn't talk much with Asai Narimi, she could understand to some extent that Asai Narimi was not a bad person.

The last time we were recording a program on TV, it was with the help of Narimi Asai that my father was able to solve the case.

Rather than the fact that Asai Narimi attempted to kill Murasawa Shuichi, Mao Lilan would rather believe that the matter was really as Genkou said, and that Asai Narimi was arrested only because he was chasing the murderer.

"It would be great if Shinichi was here right now. If he were here, he would have figured out the truth of the incident long ago."

But what Mao Lilan didn't know was that the boy she had been thinking about, Kudo Shinichi, was currently attending elementary school.

Conan felt a little uneasy listening to the useless knowledge the Chinese teacher was saying on the podium.

(Damn it, why do I have to go to class today? I really want to see the truth of the SL3 case...)

(Although, even if I don’t attend class, I won’t be able to sneak into the courtroom…)

He looked out the window at the blue sky and sighed.

"Okay, let's just trust Xiang Yuan for now. It will be the same when we watch the replay later."

Boom!

Xiang Yuanguang slammed his hands on the table of the defense bench.

He pointed at Kogoro Mori and spoke bluntly.

"Excuse me, you said you received an invitation letter. What kind of invitation letter was it?" "Why do you want to go to the community center to attend the memorial service in order to investigate the invitation letter?"

"More than one person left the ceremony. Why did you notice Asai Shigemi leaving the scene?"

"Why did you notice that the piano room door was ajar?"

"Since there was no light on in the piano room, how can you be sure that it was Asai Narimi who broke out of the window?"

"Are you sure that the one who [broke the window] was Asai Narimi?"

The six consecutive questions caught Kogoro Mori off guard.

He took several steps back, and his limited computing power began to work rapidly.
