Chapter 68: Rest and Information Exchange

The famous detective in Conan's world and the famous detective in the world where Xiang Yuanguang previously lived.

It can be said that only the spelling of this word is consistent, otherwise it is completely different.

The famous detectives in Conan's world can freely enter and exit the murder scene, and their every word and action will play an important role in the police's investigation. It can even be said that the reasoning of the local detective can directly affect the suspect's "guilt" or "innocence".

This has led to a very scary phenomenon in the Conan world: as long as a famous detective is involved in solving a homicide case, there will be almost no lawyer who will take the initiative to take over the defense during the trial, and in the end, only the assigned lawyer can do the defense.

"If the prosecutor has close ties with the local detective, the local boss, and the police."

"Then, achieving [undefeated] doesn't seem to be that difficult."

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin. From today's trial, he already knew clearly about Guiyue Liuyun's methods.

Perjury, hiding evidence, falsifying testimony, modifying testimony, intervening...

This guy pursues nothing except winning.

All means are based on winning the case as the most important point.

"…Then, if he has such a great influence in the local court, why did he come to Tokyo?"

"Could it be that you feel that you have lived too comfortably and don't want to rot in that kind of place?"

In response, Kisaki Eri shook her head.

"The chief prosecutor of a district is only a first-level prosecutor position in Tokyo."

"Gui Yue Liu Yun probably wants to be promoted to the position of District Attorney General, so he came to Tokyo to gild his reputation..."

"If I can maintain my undefeated record in Tokyo, then I will definitely rise to the top."

"It's just that Gui Yue Liu Yun is an outsider who is unfamiliar with the place, so his usual methods are unlikely to work."

"But if you defend it in his local court... you [can't] win."

This is a heavy topic, indeed.

Xiang Yuanguang didn't say anything, he stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Suddenly, he asked.

"What's the name of the famous detective who was at Gui Yue Liu Yun's previous location?"

This time, Koshimizu Nanatsuki spoke directly.

"Tokatsu Junya, if I remember correctly, that's his name."

"Because a friend of mine works there... and mentioned this high school detective."

(Tokitsu Junya... a very familiar name, he has appeared in Conan's plot.)
(I'll think about it when I get back, maybe I can remember who it is.)
"Auntie, you are already in your twenties. Can you please not call yourself a "servant" like a high school girl?"

"Even if you do this, it won't reduce your age, right?"

Conan next to him spoke softly, and his words were truly hurtful.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu was immediately hit, and she said with gritted teeth.

"What's wrong with me pretending to be a high school student? Huh? Just because I've graduated from high school for two or three years, can't I still be a high school student?"

"Conan, you little brat!"

The second time they met, she called Conan a kid!
Nanatsuki Koshimizu's speaking style seems to have been influenced by Kogoro Mori!
Kogoro Mori, the real thing is terrifying!
Gululu~
The sound coming from Xiang Yuanguang's stomach interrupted everyone's words or thoughts.

"...Um, I'll go eat first, and I'll talk about the rest when I come back."

The hedgehog-haired lawyer touched the back of his head sheepishly and spoke tentatively.

————April 18, 4:30 p.m.————

————Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Detention Center——————

"…I apologize to you for my previous lie."

"I'm sorry I gave that testimony in court."

Reiko Kuroiwa pushed a wheelchair and brought Murasawa Shuichi to the detention center to meet Asanari Minoru.

This man who loved piano in his heart but ended up having to give a false testimony.

With a sigh, he expressed his apology to Asami.

"After I woke up, the head of the Kuroiwa Village found me and told me..." "If Hirata Heming is found guilty, he might be imprisoned as well."

"And the wealth of the Black Rock family all lies in the Black Rock Village Chief alone."

"Although I don't covet the wealth of the Kuroiwa family, I can't let Lingzi be as poor as me..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Aso, for giving that testimony in court."

"Next, please allow me to make up for my mistakes in the Grand Court."

Although his true identity and gender have been revealed.

However, Masami still wore women's clothes, perhaps he had gotten used to it.

He rested his hands on the table, crossed them to support his chin, and was unwilling to look at Murasawa Shuichi.

It is inevitable that there is still dissatisfaction in Asami's heart.

If Murasawa had not given false testimony on Monday, the case would have been closed today.

"... So, I apologize again for my previous lie."

Murasawa sighed again on Monday. He didn't expect to be forgiven by Asami Minoru this time.

I just simply thought that saying it this way would make me feel better.

"Lingzi, let's go."

Reiko Kuroiwa nodded, and she pushed Murasawa Shuichi's wheelchair, ready to take Murasawa Shuichi away.

But before leaving, he still heard what Ma Chengshi said.

"...You really don't know what Hirata Kazuaki is doing?"

"Mr. Murasawa Shuichi, as the son-in-law of the Kuroiwa family, you have also spent this money, right?"

The sound of the wheelchair moving suddenly stopped.

Murasawa Shuichi, with his back to Asami Minoru, was silent. After a while, he spoke.

"I have my doubts about this. After all, the Heiyan family's wealth came without any evidence."

"But it wasn't until the trial that lawyer Xiang Yuan brought this up, and I knew it was true."

"It's just that I really know nothing about the murder case twelve years ago."

"I'm only 27 years old...how can I possibly know this?"

The sound of the wheelchair gradually faded away, and Genmitsu passed by Murasawa Shuichi and Kuroiwa Reiko.

He turned around to look at the pair of mandarin ducks with some confusion and shook his head.

If I remember correctly, these two people were about to get married, but this kind of thing happened at the critical moment.

It's rare that Reiko Kuroiwa is still willing to support Murasawa Shuichi and do what he wants to do.

"...Speaking of which, what if that old immortal Gui Yue attacks the witnesses?"

"It seems that we still need to ask Officer Gao Mu to take people to protect our key witness."

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin, walked into the detention center's room, sat in front of Ma Cheng Minoru, and said so.

"What did Murasawa Monday say when he came here just now? If it's something negative, then don't bother with him."

"You don't need to worry so much. I came here this time specifically to tell you something."

"Tomorrow, you can walk out of the detention center with dignity——————"

"Even if it was the SL3 incident twelve years ago, I would reverse the outcome!"

Swish.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Ma Chengshi could vaguely see it.

The magatama-shaped pendant on Xiang Yuanguang's chest seemed to light up.

(Is this... an illusion?)
For some reason, Asanari felt relieved, as if everything would be solved.
