Chapter 47 Intertwined, then reversed (1)
————April 16, 8:25 p.m.————
————Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Detention Center————
In front and behind a transparent wall, Genmi Hikaru and Asai Narimi sat opposite each other.
The detective next to him had a serious expression on his face, ensuring that the conversation between the defendant and the lawyer in this case was normal.
At noon, Xiang Yuanguang had already arrived at Tsukikage Island, but unfortunately he was too late. Inspector Megure had already announced the arrest of Asai Narimi.
If we want Asai Shigemi to be acquitted now, we can only prove Asai Shigemi's innocence in the court.
However, he did not just go to Moonshadow Island for a tour and do nothing.
"All the suspected criminals in the Civic Center at that time had to appear in court as witnesses."
"Kuroiwa Tatsuji, Kawashima Hideo, Nishimoto Ken, you, and Hirata Tomori."
"Koshimizu Nanatsuki, Mouri Kogoro, Shimizu Masato, and Kuroiwa Reiko."
"But I don't care about these. I want to know something."
"Was Murasawa Shuichi really attacked by you?"
Looking at Yuanguang through the transparent glass wall, his expression was extremely serious.
No matter who it is, they can clearly sense the complexity and severity of Xiang Yuanguang's mood at this moment.
Asai Narimi looked gloomy, he just lowered his head and was unwilling to say anything more.
Until he heard Xiang Yuanguang's next words.
"Do you know why Officer Takagi appeared on Tsukikage Island? I asked him to go there."
"I asked him to go to Moon Shadow Island to collect evidence."
"Collect evidence to prove the truth of the SL3 incident in which Keiji Aso was killed twelve years ago!"
Asai Narimi suddenly raised his head, his face full of surprise.
He never imagined that what Xiang Yuanguang said in the TV station parking lot was true.
Xiang Yuanguang really wants to help his father clear his name!
"Watch this! Asai Narimi, look at this! I hope you can answer me directly, did you kill someone or not? "
Show the evidence——————[The music score left behind by Keiji Aso twelve years ago]!
The strong wind instantly swept in other directions with Xiang Yuanguang as the center. Even the guards nearby were blown unable to open their eyes. If there had been no glass blocking the strong wind, Asai Chengmi would probably have fallen to the ground.
Xiang Yuanguang slammed heavily on the music score on the table in front of him.
"If it's you, you should be able to solve the riddles and codes above!"
"Asai Narimi, think about it, think carefully! Tomorrow, I will be present as your defense lawyer!"
Asai Narimi's hand trembled as he placed it on Keiji Aso's only relic - the music score.
After hearing Xiang Yuanguang say that he would appear as his defense lawyer, he looked up at Xiang Yuanguang.
"Then...then what about my father's case..."
"Lawyer Hibiki Eri will be there. Haha, thanks to you, I'm going to have to eat plain noodles for several months. If you had listened to me in the underground parking lot, the matter would have been resolved long ago!"
Xiang Yuanguang stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and was about to leave.
At this time, Asai Narimi finally spoke.
"I...I didn't kill anyone. I was caught by Officer Takagi because I was chasing the murderer."
(Chasing the murderer? No murder?)
Xiang Yuanguang's head turned suddenly and he stared at Asai Chengmi.
Heart lock ability, activated!
If Asai Narimi was lying, then at this moment, mental shackles would appear on his body.
However, there was no such thing on Asai Narumi's body, which means that he really did not kill anyone!
"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……"
At some point, a few tears had already slid down Asai Narimi's cheeks.
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.
This was actually Xiang Yuanguang's first appearance in court as a lawyer.
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!
