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

Chapter 119 Reversal of Illumination (19)

"So? If he says he didn't kill anyone, then he didn't kill anyone? If he were a junior high school student."

"In this situation, you will say that you didn't kill anyone, right?"

Gu Meimen shook his head. He didn't expect that this would be the result of his aggressive attitude towards Yuan Guang.

It was almost a shame for the wind magic he had just cast.

"I just want to confirm whether Mr. Sanyuan Shunji has killed anyone."

“It is because I have confirmed this that I can name the suspect I advocate.”

Xiang Yuanguang said righteously, he snapped his fingers and put his hands on his hips righteously.

He knew it from the fact that the BGM was still the pursuit song and it hadn't stopped.

That's right, now, his guess was correct, he just needed to say it.

"The reason you were able to escape the three-minute killing time limit set by the surveillance records is because you found a loophole."

"Sanyuan Shunji did not appear in the surveillance records, so the surveillance records are fake and the time of the murder is uncertain."

"And I had already found the flaw before this, but I just couldn't point it out——"

"Because I'm waiting for the key witness, Kogoro Mori, to show up!"

He pulled out the shorthand notes of Nanatsuki Koshimizu's court testimony from his pocket and patted the paper towards Genmitsu.

Then, he stroked his chin and spoke thoughtfully.

"How much information is hidden in Kogoro Mori's fourth statement: [After I investigated the intelligence, Shimadzu Company handed over the commission at around 6:50 p.m.]"

"What do you mean...how much information is hidden?"

Gu Meimen's pupils shrank slightly, he didn't know what he had overlooked.

Because, from the information he knew, this testimony didn't seem to be anything worth noting.

"After arriving at Shimadzu, Kogoro Maori used his cell phone to communicate with [Mr. Shimadzu], and then [Mr. Shimadzu] notified Sanyuan Shunji to pick up Kogoro Maori. You don't know this, right?"

As soon as Genmitsu said this, Gu Meimon's eyes became sharp.

True, he didn't know that, but even if he did, he wouldn't say it in court.

Because, this is almost equivalent to————

The presiding judge spoke in great surprise.

"What? Lawyer Xiang Yuan means that the three-minute killing time limit still exists?"

"Because after Maori Kogoro arrived at Shimadzu Corporation, he spoke to President Shimadzu."

"And within three minutes of him taking the elevator to the top floor, President Shimazu died?"

(That is to say————Sanyuan Shunji’s suspicion of murder has been invalidated again.)

Prosecutor Sugiura breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately became confused again.

Could it be that Xiang Yuanguang is actually a spy planted among the lawyers by the prosecutor?

Yamada Isamu sitting in the dock was furious. He was about to be acquitted, but now his own lawyer was trying to change his verdict.

How could this not make the neighborhood committee chairman, who loves to take advantage of others, angry?

But unfortunately, before he could open his mouth, Xiang Yuanguang had already rejected the presiding judge's idea.

"No, I heard this [Mr. Shimazu] from Ms. Mao Lilan's testimony."

"Normally speaking, the only [Mr. Shimazu] who appears in this case is [Shimazu Zangyuan]."

"But in reality, there should be two people in Shimadzu Corporation."

A name flashed through Gu Meimen's memory.

He said as the ace lawyer's eyes sighed.

"So the person you suspect is him... the son of the deceased Shimazu Zangyuan, [Shimazu Sae]."

He nodded to Yuan Guang and put the court shorthand in his hand back into his pocket.

Then, with a click, he snapped his fingers again.

He tapped his finger lightly on his forehead and then smiled.

"Yes, my claim from the beginning has been that it was Mr. Shimazu Sae." "Because there were no signs of a struggle at the crime scene."

"If the deceased was killed by Sanyuan Shunzhi after he discovered that Sanyuan Shunzhi had stolen the documents."

"How could he lie on the office chair behind his desk and not resist?"

“This is a bit too weird.”

The presiding judge realized that the autopsy report at the scene did show this.

It's just that Gu Meimen's previous inferences were too suggestive, so he ignored them.

But immediately, the middle-aged presiding judge became a little confused and asked.

"So, Attorney Xiang Yuan, what does the [phone call] you mentioned have to do with this?"

This time, there was no need to explain to Minamoto no Mitsuki, even Prosecutor Sugiura had already understood the connection.

The prosecutor of mid-to-lower rank sighed, held down his hair, and stood up.

"If the person that Maori Kogoro called was Shimazu Zangyuan, then Shimazu Zangyuan would not have called to inform Sanyuan Shunzhi, because Sanyuan Shunzhi, as a secretary, would usually be in the office..."

Xiang Yuanguang took over the unfinished words of Prosecutor Sugiura and snapped his fingers again.

"It was Sanyuan Shunji who witnessed the murder scene and discovered that President Shimazu was dead."

"However, judging from the lights being turned off, Mr. Sanyuan Shunji probably didn't come here for work."

"Add to that other people's testimony about Mr. Sanyuan Shunji holding the documents, and there's no need to say what he wants to do."

Xiang Yuanguang spread his hands, shook his head, and then slapped the table on the testimony stand.

"Sanyuan Shunji saw that the lights in the office were turned off and the door was ajar. He thought that President Shimazu was not there and tried to enter and steal the documents."

"But after stealing the documents, he discovered that President Shimadzu was dead, and he was so frightened that he chose to flee, and happened to meet the two defendants in this case."

"Before I could say anything, I received a call from President Shimazu's eldest son. I was so panicked that I didn't even have time to put away the documents in my hand before I went into the elevator to pick him up."

"Then Sanyuan Shunji offered to go to the police station to take a statement, thus interrupting the conversation between Detective Maori and Inspector Shirai."

"In fact, he found time to remotely edit the surveillance records and overwrote his own records. The reason is self-evident. Just look at what Inspector Shirai did in the past."

Xiang Yuanguang didn't finish his words, but the presiding judge had already recalled the process of the case in which Inspector Shirai was suspended.

Then the presiding judge shook his head and said.

"If this court encountered a similar situation and knew that the detective who came was Inspector Kengo Shirai, we might do something similar."

"Well, Attorney Xiangyuan's reasoning also makes sense. Attorney Gu Meimen's reasoning before was problematic."

"So, Lawyer Xiang Yuan, what do you want to do next?"

pat.

Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers for the last time.

"Because the suspect Shimazu Sae was not summoned to the court, and various pieces of evidence were missing."

"The defense wants to adjourn the court until the next day. What do you think, Mr. Judge?"

The presiding judge nodded.

"Since the case has reached such an unexpected state, the court will be adjourned for today."

"Please ask the prosecutors to conduct further investigation and evidence collection on the new suspects mentioned by the defense, as well as the various possible evidences mentioned."

"The other crimes committed by the witness in this case, Sanyuan Shunji, will be tried at a later date after this case is concluded."

"Now, adjourn the court!"

Sanyuan Shunji, who was at the testimony stand, felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief. Although he would still be sued in the end, the sentence would be much lighter than murder.

But there was no joy on Xiang Yuanguang's face. He knew the deep affection between a father and his child, and between a child and his father.

Just like Aso Yui and Aso Keiji of Tsukikage Island.

Why did Shimazu Sae kill his own father? What was the reason behind being a filial son?

I don’t know, we need to investigate further.

Chapter 120: The Argument After the Court Adjournment

Boom!

The door of the lounge was opened with a bang, and someone broke in.

Needless to say, it was Kumimon, as could be seen from the expression of this ace lawyer.

He had been completely burned by Xiang Yuanguang's actions!

"You're going to play some childish game of truth and justice. Can you do it later?"

"If you think Sanyuan Shunzhi is innocent, then you can defend him after he is prosecuted!"

"I worked hard all day, but a few words from you in court completely ruined everything!"

Gu Meimen paced angrily during the break.

Dai Machiko, who followed in, wanted to say something but didn't open her mouth.

If I were to speak at this time, the time I would have to work to pay off my debts would probably increase from 36 years to 40 years...

Crunch-————

Pushing the door open for Yuan Guang, he shook his head and spoke.

"As a top lawyer, you are aware of this situation."

"If Sanyuan Shunji had already been found guilty in this case, there would be no second prosecution at all."

Behind the hedgehog-haired lawyer followed Nanatsuki Koshimizu.

The detective girl casually adjusted her sunglasses and said.

"And it slanders a person who has not committed a crime and attributes the crime to that person."

"They also used propaganda, inducement and moral blackmail to manipulate the court and testimony."

"Lawyer Kumimon, your behavior is very ungentlemanly, isn't it?"

"No taste? No taste? You actually said I have no taste!?"

After being hit by Nanatsuki Koshimizu, Kumimon was completely defeated.

He walked quickly to Xiang Yuanguang, pointed at his chest again, and spoke loudly.

"Your behavior is against the professional ethics of lawyers. How did you get the medal?"

"Your last name is Xiang Yuan, right? Hmm? Did your grandfather, who was the former Minister of Justice, help you get it?"

"Did he also help you get the perfect score for admission to the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo? Hmm?"

Xiang Yuanguang's eyes became sharp.

He stared at Gu Meimen, causing the ace lawyer, who was originally red-hot, to suddenly become quiet.

For some reason, Gu Meimen felt that the atmosphere around him seemed to have suddenly turned cold.

Is...is it an illusion?

"Because there are inevitable doubts in the inference you put forward, I will overturn it and reorganize it."

"There can't be any wrongful conviction in the courtroom when I'm defending you - that's it."
