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

But what he didn't expect was that Mao Lilan actually nodded in sudden realization.

"Yes, Mr. Xiang Yuan is a famous lawyer, he must have many channels to obtain information."

"When we met that prosecutor Kuma at the noodle shop, he said there was a legend about you in the prosecutor's office!"

At this point, even Conan's train of thought was interrupted. He looked up in astonishment and looked at Xiaolan.

Hmm? What did that stupid prosecutor named Kuma say to you during the time I was in school?

It's not like they're using something interesting as a basis and then looking for an opportunity to launch an attack.

"It is said that Prosecutor Guiyue urgently returned to the Shikoku District Prosecutor's Office because he was threatened by Attorney Xiangyuan."

"At that time, Lawyer Xiang Yuan screamed strangely, then tore open his clothes, revealing seven scars."

"Finally, I pointed to the morning star in the sky and said to Prosecutor Ghost Moon——————"

"Your death star is shining brightly. You are about to die."

"The Guiyue prosecutor rushed back to the Shikoku region overnight, even interrupting the trial."

What do you mean by Death Star? Are you thinking of me as the savior of the end of the century?

Xiang Yuanguang was shocked, then broke out in a sweat and reached out to wipe the sweat off.

And Conan below had his eyes reduced to small dots, and it was obvious that he was speechless.

(Really, only someone as naive and kind as Ran would believe such a lie.)

(How could Xiang Yuan be that powerful? It seems possible.)

(After all, it was the first time I saw someone slap a solid wooden table!)

Conan began to doubt the authenticity of the rumors.

Xiang Yuanguang was speechless after seeing this, and he didn't know what he looked like in these people's minds.

However, Mao Lilan's interruption reminded Xiang Yuanguang of an important thing.

That is... he hasn't questioned the first eyewitness in the case or the circumstances of the case!

"Ms. Maori, you usually act together with Uncle Maori, right? Are you both the first eyewitnesses?"

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and asked thoughtfully.

When asked, Mao Lilan nodded. She hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"Well, my father and I are both the first eyewitnesses. My father came to hand in the commission at that time——————"

"That is, regarding your request to investigate Mr. Yuan."

"Dad asked Inspector Megure to make a copy of your original lawyer resume and fax it to me."

"I want to use this to exchange for the commission of 800,000."

800,000 yuan in commission? No way? Am I really the only poor person who opened a law firm?

The corner of Xiang Yuanguang's mouth twitched and he shook his head.

Then, he said very seriously.

"Then, please let Ms. Maori be the first eyewitness and tell us what happened at that time."

In this regard, Mao Lilan did not hesitate and nodded.

[~ Testimonies about the time of first sighting and the situation at the crime scene~]

[Testimony begins]

"We have received a commission to investigate your information, Mr. Xiang Yuan."

"But, my father is a road idiot. He took us to search the pond for several times but couldn't find Mr. Xiang Yuan."

"Then, he suddenly had an idea and asked Inspector Megure to fax Mr. Yuan's resume to make up for it."

"So my father called Mr. Shimazu, and Mr. Shimazu asked Assistant Sanyuan to take us to the top floor."

"As a result, we just came out of the elevator on the top floor and found that the office door was ajar."

"We realized something was wrong and immediately approached the office door—"

"We found that President Shimazu was dead, Mr. Kaga was standing next to Shimazu Zangyuan, and Yamada Isao was a little further away."

"Then we called the police and waited until Inspector Shirai arrived with his officers."

[End of testimony]

Chapter 97: Less than three minutes to commit the crime

Xiang Yuanguang blinked his eyes. There were so many things to complain about that he didn't know how to complain for a moment.

Well, Uncle Maori couldn't find Xiang Yuanguang because he was not good at finding directions, so he just took the fax and got away with it.

This is really Uncle Maori's work style, but Xiang Yuanguang feels that he won't get the commission fee that way.

However, since Mao Lilan said that it was Mr. Shimazu who answered the phone, that means...

When Mori and his group arrived at Shimadzu Real Estate Company, Shimadzu Kōgen was still alive.

(Please remember Taiwan Novel Network → twkan.com to watch the fastest chapter updates)

When Mori and his group, led by Sanyuan, took the elevator to the top floor, President Shimazu was murdered.

But this creates a contradiction in time.

“It takes no more than three minutes to take the elevator from the first floor to the top floor.”

"How could the murderer kill President Shimazu and hide the murder weapon in just three minutes?"

"That's simply impossible... unless the murder weapon is hidden somewhere nearby."

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"No, big brother, have you forgotten? When we got to the top floor..."

"There are two people on the top floor, and they are both in the office!"

Hearing Xiang Yuanguang's mumbling, Conan immediately pretended to be innocent and provided another piece of information.

This made Xiang Yuanguang's expression change again.

Something is wrong. Nine out of ten things are wrong.

If the murderer is not either Kaga Ranmaru or Yamada Isamu.

Then, the murderer may have taken less than three minutes to commit the crime and hide the murder weapon.

If Inspector Shirai cannot find the murder weapon here, then this detective will take off his police badge.

I'd better start from the Metropolitan Police Academy, from the police cadets who know nothing!

"Mr. Xiang Yuan...you don't look right? Why?"

Mao Lilan tilted her head in some confusion, although she didn't know how to reason about these things.

However, Xiang Yuanguang's mood changes can still be perceived intuitively.

Because compared to other lawyers and detectives, Xiang Yuanguang's mood is directly reflected on his face.

It can be said that it is extremely easy to understand.

"Ah! I see. Are you looking so embarrassed because you suspect your client has really committed murder?"

Xiaolan's words went straight to Yuanguang's heart, making his face bitter.

Yes, in this situation, he really had to doubt whether the client he hadn't met yet had committed murder.

At the moment, it seems that the only two people who have time to kill are Yamada Isamu and Kaga Ranmaru.

(Shimazu Sae never appeared from beginning to end. If there was any suspicion, Conan would have pointed it out long ago.)

(So, in this respect, does Shimazu Sae also have an alibi?)

(No... If I don't use the Heart Lock to test Yamada Isamu, I won't know if he has killed anyone...)

Xiang Yuanguang shook his head. If he accepted a criminal case, it would only be on the premise that he believed the client had not killed anyone.

Even if he can prove his client is guilty, he will not go to the extent of being a defense lawyer and deliberately defrauding his client.

When he first sat on the prosecutor's seat, he was mad at Kuma for avoiding a fight, so he directly ordered a single shark offline in the trial court.

Now, Xiang Yuanguang has no reason to stand in the prosecutor's seat of the Honchidai District to prove who is guilty...

"Brother, I'm a little curious about what Uncle Maori and Grandpa Shirai talked about."

"Shall we go outside and listen together?"

Looking at Xiang Yuanguang who was deep in thought, Conan reached out and grabbed the corner of Xiang Yuanguang's clothes.

In this case, just thinking is useless, you have to find more evidence to form a chain of reasoning.

Lao Guang, who felt a little uncomfortable with Conan's clip sound, nodded.

"Well, Miss Maori, let's go out and listen to what Uncle Maori and the others are talking about."

"From just now until now, such a long time has passed, and I haven't seen them come in."

"If a fight really breaks out, we can still call an ambulance now."

(Although I may not have enough money to pay for emergency treatment.)

Mao Lilan blinked her eyes when she heard this, although she felt that her father would not be so sick as to call an ambulance.

But maybe another white-haired detective grandpa wouldn't be rushed to the emergency room.

Xiaolan suddenly walked quickly outside in a panic.

Genkou and Conan exchanged glances.

I also walked outside, intending to see what was happening outside.

When he turned around, Xiang Yuanguang noticed that Koshimizu Nanatsuki was leaning against the door frame with a smug smile on his face.

Could it be that this female detective who likes to act young has some important evidence?

Now I have an expression that says, "I know a lot, come and ask me for advice."

He shook his head at Genmitsu and walked past Koshimizu Nanatsuki, completely unmoved.

Are you trying to keep me in suspense? Are you trying to interrupt my chapter? It's impossible. Absolutely impossible.

"...?"

Nanatsuki Koshimizu blinked and watched Xiang Yuanguang walk past.

The hedgehog-head's steps were so firm, like a firefighter rushing to a fire scene.

He doesn't seem to have any curiosity about her at all.

This is really unreasonable.

"That's right, Brother Shirai, that's right, now is the time to search for the murder weapon."

"Look, there are only two people who are suspected of committing the crime. It's either Kaga Ranmaru or Yamada Isamu."

"Even a joint operation! What do you think?"

Uncle Maori and Inspector Shirai were arm in arm, looking like close friends regardless of age.

At this moment, Shirai Kengo nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Maori brother, that's right, that Kaga Ranmaru has a criminal record."

"A week ago, I arrested him for a violent incident, but I spared him this time because it was his first offense."

"I didn't expect this guy to go on TV and accuse me of using violence against him...!"

"Now he shows up here for no apparent reason and hires a lawyer like Gu Meimen. He is highly suspicious!"

The detectives who were originally standing at the door, even Nakano Soju, were gone.

It sounds like they were sent out to search for the murder weapon hidden nearby.

But Xiang Yuanguang didn’t know why Nakano Souji wanted to go with them.
