Public gallery.
"Alright! I'm just annoyed with that old prosecutor, Hedgehog Head, go ahead!"
Suzuki Sonoko cheered softly with some excitement, while Mao Lilan, who was sitting next to her, looked at the situation on the field with concern.
Suddenly, she realized something and whispered to her best friend next to her.
"Yuanzi, didn't you like Prosecutor Gold just now? Why are you cheering for Lawyer Xiang Yuanguang now?"
"...Ah, well, that's because people who can seize the slightest opportunity and turn the situation around are really amazing!"
Sonoko noticed that Mao Li Ran wanted to ask something else, so she spoke quickly.
"The presiding judge has finished his thoughts, Xiaolan, listen to what he wants to say!"
dong dong.
The presiding judge knocked on the table with the gavel in his hand, looked at Xiang Yuanguang and said seriously.
"Okay, this court agrees to the defense's request to allow the victim Murasawa Shuichi to testify about the [Tuning Hammer]."
"What? Your Honor, is there anything worth asking? What can a tuning hammer prove?"
Cold sweat dripped down Guiyue Liuyun's forehead. As a prosecutor who had appeared in court many times, he had already realized his own flaws.
At this moment, he slammed the table, trying to get the presiding judge to change his mind, but he saw that the presiding judge's eyes were rather unfriendly.
dong dong.
"This court requests that the victim, Murasawa Shuji, testify regarding the exhibit [tuning hammer]."
"Prosecutor Guiyue, I hope you understand that I am the presiding judge of this court. Your methods are not applicable in the courtroom!"
The presiding judge's words made Guiyue Liuyun choke for a moment. Yes, Guiyue Liuyun had gone too far.
As the chief judge of the court, the presiding judge's patience has always been limited, and here he finally showed his dignity as the presiding judge.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, I have to remind you that the facts of this case are clear."
"You only have [one] chance to interrogate, if you cannot get Murasawa Monday to give new testimony."
"Let this court see the [new possibility] of the case, then this court will declare the defendant [guilty]!"
"do you understand?"
The presiding judge said to Xiang Yuanguang.
"Once is enough."
Xiang Yuanguang picked up the evidence information in his hand and nodded. The shadow of Yu Jian Lianshi next to him tapped his arm with his fingers, thinking.
Murasawa Shuichi's eyes flickered at the testimony stand. He looked at Kuroiwa Tatsuji, who shook his head.
Murasawa said immediately.
"I refuse to testify about the exhibit [the tuning hammer] because I received a blow to the head and cannot remember anything."
(Can't remember anything?)
(You don’t want to say it, right?)
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin.
In response, the presiding judge shook his head, looked at Murasawa Shuichi and spoke bluntly.
"Since you can't remember anything about the tuning hammer you dropped in the piano room."
"How can you remember who attacked you? Someone attacked you, and you dropped the tuning hammer."
"Isn't it?"
"...I refuse to testify about this. According to the law, as a witness in this case, I have the right to refuse to testify about evidence that is unfavorable to me."
Murasawa Shuichi refused to testify and said nothing.
(This is a difficult situation. Is there any way to get him to testify?) Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and was still thinking, but Conan, who was hiding under the table, whispered.
"Xiang Yuan, since Murasawa Zhou Yi brought a tuning hammer into the piano room, he must be repairing the piano."
“Although the Moonlight Sonata is not something that can be performed spontaneously on a piano, I think the piano is in such good repair that it can be used to perform the Moonlight Sonata.”
"This cannot be achieved without long-term maintenance. Let's try to get Murasawa Shuichi to speak from this aspect."
(Hmm... yes, I remember in the original story, Murasawa Shuichi took the initiative to repair the piano left by Keiji Aso because he liked Aso Keiji's music.)
(In other words, starting from the fans’ love and admiration for their idols, and Masami’s identity?)
Xiang Yuanguang gradually sorted out his thoughts. At the same time, the shadow of Yu Jian Lianshi next to him sighed, and he spoke.
"Let's use [Logical Chess]."
Logical chess...?
Me? Really?
The hedgehog-headed lawyer was startled by Mitsurugi Rei's words, and he looked at the shadow of Mitsurugi Rei beside him.
In Guiyue Liuyun's eyes, this scene seemed as if Xiang Yuanguang had gone mentally insane.
(Humph, this way, there will be no risk.)
(No matter what means are used, as long as victory is guaranteed.)
A smile appeared on Lao Deng's lips, and he put all his worries and uneasiness behind him.
Sure enough, a new lawyer is a new lawyer. So what if he finds a breakthrough by intuition?
"No matter how strong the defense is, there will be loopholes. Pay attention to the opponent's subtle changes in movement."
"At the right time, [attack], [praise], or [wait and see]."
"Give it a try, rookie lawyer."
Miles Mitsurugi placed his finger on his forehead, then he put his hand down with a confident expression.
"That kind of [malfeasance] prosecutor is no match for you."
(No choice, just give it a try.)
You have to force something to happen even if you have no choice.
Xiang Yuanguang subconsciously slapped the table, and Pingtian Heming, who had just stood up with the help of the railing, subconsciously bent down and hugged the railing tightly.
Then, Hirata Heming looked at the defense seat with some confusion.
(Hmm? Why is there no wind this time?)
Murasawa Zhoujie was attracted by Xiang Yuanguang's slamming of the table. The moment he and Xiang Yuanguang looked at each other——————
【Logical chess, start.】
On the chessboard that Miken Rei was showing to Genkou, three black chess pieces floated up and blocked Murasawa Shuichi.
“Pay attention to the time. If it’s too long, the effect of your words will be greatly reduced.”
"The prosecutor and the presiding judge don't have that much patience either, so you can't make mistakes."
The shadow of Yu Jian Lian Shi stood beside Xiang Yuan Guang and he spoke.
"Well, how about trying [Praise] first? Praise the [Cursed Piano]?"
(what?)
Xiang Yuanguang was shocked. This Chief Prosecutor who followed the Ace Attorney worldview actually found the key to the problem without knowing the plot?
Is this the strength of a legendary prosecutor in another world? How did the real Naruhodo defeat Miles Edgeworth in the second trial?
(No, now is not the time to think about this, I need to think seriously...)
Xiang Yuanguang looked at Murasawa Shuichi. The first time he spoke, Murasawa Shuichi's expression changed obviously.
“That [cursed piano], although it hasn’t been used for more than a decade, its tone, pedals, and all aspects of performance are still very good.”
"Someone must have taken the initiative to maintain it, right? Mr. Murasawa Shuichi."
"..."
Murasawa Shuichi's gaze stopped and moved away, while Kuroiwa Tatsuji next to him frowned, as if he had noticed something.
"You brought the tuning hammers into the piano room to repair the cursed piano."
"And it lasted for many years... Why? Do you like that piano very much?"
(Procrastinating?)
Guiyue Liuyun shook his head and snorted coldly. Even if it was really to delay time, so what?
Could it be possible that a new lawyer could use words to refute the bribed witness Murasawa Shuichi in the court?
No more objections can be raised now. The presiding judge's patience has its limits, so... let's see how this new lawyer struggles.
