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

Xiang Yuanguang adjusted his clothes for the last time and nodded to Yamada Yong who was passing by.

Finally, he said to Nanatsuki Koshimizu who was standing next to him.

"Let's go. We shouldn't keep the judge and the others waiting for so long."

Crunch————————

When the door of the courtroom was pushed open, the first person who came into view was the middle-aged presiding judge.

The presiding judge saw Xiang Yuanguang enter the courtroom and nodded.

"It seems that Lawyer Xiang Yuan has also arrived at the courtroom. Please take a seat."

"This court asks everyone to make final preparations. We will soon begin the trial of the murder of President Shimazu."

Returning to the defense seat, Xiang Yuanguang took out various documents and evidence from his worn backpack.

Then, he placed what he needed on the table at the defense table.

But if it was Gu Meimen, he could clearly see that the evidence against Yuan Guang was basically all on paper.

At most, I brought a few photos put into a white photo bag.

"Hey, Sonic, didn't you say you wanted to prove Shimazu Sae's guilt? And you were collecting evidence for it."

"Are these paper documents and photos the evidence and intelligence you collected?"

Gu Meimen taunted without hesitation as he placed two small black boxes on the table.

He said this quite proudly and complacently.

"I already have the decisive evidence in my hands. I am much faster than you!"

(The decisive evidence...? Is it the contents of the two small black boxes?)

With some doubt, Xiang Yuanguang looked at the two small black boxes in front of Gu Meimen.

It looks very small and there is definitely not much that can be put in it.

If there is any piece of evidence that can be called decisive, it might be the USB flash drive and the videotape.

After all, nothing could prove Shimazu Sae's guilt better than unaltered surveillance footage.

There was no time for Genguang and Gu Meimen to talk.

The presiding judge had already struck the gavel, and the entire audience instantly fell silent.

He coughed twice, cleared his throat, then looked at Prosecutor Sugiura and spoke.

"This court is about to hear the case of the murder of President Shimazu. Is the prosecutor ready?"

Prosecutor Sugiura did not bring a wig this time. She nodded and said while showing her thinning hair.

"The prosecution is ready."

Then, the presiding judge looked at the defense bench, where an anxious atmosphere had already begun to build, and shook his head.

How should I put it, the two legendary lawyers, Attorney Xiang Yuan and Attorney Gu Meimen, seem to be anxious all the time.

It gives people the feeling that if it weren't in the courtroom, they would probably take up physical weapons and fight at any time and anywhere.

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin, didn't say anything, just nodded.

And Gu Meimen stood up and said in an unusually showy manner.

"Of course, the defense is ready. We have found the decisive evidence."

"I will complete all trials of this case as quickly as possible."

"Uh, oh...it's great that Attorney Kumemon has this idea."

The middle-aged presiding judge nodded awkwardly. He didn't know how to comment on Gu Meimen's mysterious confidence.

After all, in the last trial, Sanyuan Shunji was designated as the murderer, and a lot of evidence and possibilities were presented.

In the end, all his plans were shattered by just a few words from lawyer Xiang Yuanguang next to him. How can he still be confident now?

Regardless of that, the presiding judge raised the gavel and banged on the table.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Now, I declare the trial open. Please invite the detective in charge of this court, Mr. Kurosawa Hirashima, to introduce the case."

Crunch——————

The door of the courtroom was pushed open, and detective Kurosawa Heima walked into the courtroom and came to the testimony stand.

And the one who was acting so showy just now, Kumimon's mouth twitched when he saw this detective.

As an ace lawyer who holds a grudge, he remembered it very clearly. The detective who stopped him at the door of the building had this in his possession.

And he even said something arrogant like "No dogs allowed in Komeimon". Really, he will be in trouble after this trial!

"I am the detective in charge of the murder of President Shimazu, Kurosawa Hirashima, who replaced Inspector Shirai."

"Now, allow me to explain the circumstances of this case."

Kurosawa Heima took out a piece of paper from his briefcase, held it up and read aloud.

"The defendants in this case, Yamada Isamu and Kaga Ranmaru, are suspected of colluding to kill the deceased Shimazu Zangyuan."

"But the suspect has been basically ruled out. The most likely suspect is human..."

"Witness, Sanyuan Shunji."

"But starting from 8 o'clock this morning, the biggest suspect in this case has been changed to——————"

"Mr. Shimazu Sae."

"Why would it be Mr. Shimazu Sae? This is just a hypothesis that Lawyer Gen proposed."

But Prosecutor Sugiura next to him shook his head and spoke.

"At 8 o'clock this morning, Mr. Shimazu Sae surrendered himself and claimed to be the murderer of the deceased Shimazu Zangyuan."

"However, the prosecution has no evidence to prove that he committed murder, so the case will be directly tried in court today."

He glanced at Xiang Yuanguang who seemed to be in deep thought, and Gu Meimen who couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Prosecutor Sugiura sighed and made a final request.

"The prosecution requested that witness Shimazu Sae appear in court to testify."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last witness in this case."

The last witness...

The middle-aged presiding judge nodded, banged the gavel, and then spoke.

"Then, this court summons witness Shimazu Sae to testify!"

Tick, tick, tick.

The bailiff immediately left the courtroom.

Soon, Shimazu Sae will be standing on the witness stand.

(The truth of everything will be revealed at this time...!)

A trace of solemnity flashed across Xiang Yuanguang's eyes.

Chapter 126 Reversal of Illumination (21)

"Mr. Shimazu Sae, the presiding judge has summoned you to the courtroom to testify."

The bailiff pushed open the door of the lounge and looked at Shimazu Sae, who was sitting on the sofa with a calm expression.

No, this witness is not so much indifferent as he has completely given up.

"I see."

Shimazu Sae nodded, without saying anything more, he stood up.

He followed the bailiff all the way to the courtroom.

For some reason, I felt a little disappointed.

Crunch——————

The door of the courtroom was pushed open.

The person who appeared in front of everyone was the biggest suspect in this case, Shimazu Sae, who surrendered himself.

Ran Mao Li, who was sitting in the gallery, was a little surprised. She had never seen a criminal surrender himself voluntarily.

On the contrary, Kogoro Mouri next to him seemed to be quite experienced in this.

The former detective put his hand on his bag and stared silently at Shimazu Sae who walked to the testimony stand.

(Did Shimazu Sae really kill President Shimazu? But why?)

(This doesn’t seem right… Could it be because of Shimazu Sae’s rumored girlfriend?)

Several guesses flashed through Uncle Maori's mind.

The things in his bag were the information and data he had obtained from the tracking and investigation over the past two days.

Originally, Uncle Mori wanted to burn these things directly and give them to President Shimazu so that the deceased could take them to the Sanzu River.

However, an inexplicable idea led Uncle Maori to come to the court with the investigation results.

Perhaps this was a strange feeling that came from being a father? He thought this could be useful in the courtroom.

"Mr. Shimazu Sae, why did you kill your father, Shimazu Zanggen?"

"Please give a complete testimony on the three aspects of motive, murder weapon, and process."

Prosecutor Sugiura looked through the documents in his hand, but finally threw them aside.

Haha, totally useless.

If the police's evidence collection and search capabilities were a little stronger, how could he be so passive.

Even Shimazu Sae turned himself in at eight in the morning and went straight to the courtroom after completing the formalities.

There was not even time to take a statement at the police station, so it can be said that Prosecutor Sugiura knew nothing about Shimazu Sae.

In this situation, Prosecutor Sugiura, who was not very capable to begin with, simply chose to give up.

"Oh, by the way, do the two legendary lawyers over there have any other opinions on this?"

He casually asked Gu Meimen and Xiang Yuanguang on the other side.

However, Machiko Dai behind Kumemon feels that something is not right with the case.

However, ace lawyer Gu Meimen said with a smile that he had no problem.

On the other side, Nanatsuki Koshimizu was still swaying to the music, as if she didn't hear it at all.

Xiang Yuanguang shook his head, indicating that he had no opinion.

It was a rare situation in this courtroom that Sugiura, Mugen, and Kumimon all had no objections.

For some reason, the middle-aged presiding judge was actually somewhat moved by this.

He wiped the wet corners of his eyes, thinking that he had finally regained his dignity as the presiding judge.

Then, he banged the gavel and spoke.

"Then the defense and the prosecution agree. Please ask the witness to testify."

Shimazu Sae at the witness stand was not panicked, it could be said that this was what he expected.

He nodded and spoke.

[~Testimony on the motive, weapon, and process of the crime~][Testimony begins]

"My reason for committing the crime is simple: it's because of money."

"You must have heard about my scandals. Yes, I like to spend a lot of money."

"But, my father, Shimazu Zangyuan, has suspended my bank card, so I can't continue to live a luxurious life."

"So I planned to take revenge on my father on the afternoon of the 24th... near dusk."
