Chapter 197 The Black Magician Riding on Public Opinion

"We sent a notice to the Source and Shikoku Public Prosecutors Offices, announcing the lavender case that is currently under trial..."

"It's been sent back for retrial! How did you convince the bosses of those newspapers to publish the news at the same time?"

With the latest urgently printed news, Nanatsuki Koshimizu pushed open the door of the ward.

This good news was brought to Zenzo Oonuki and Genmitsu Mukai who were still lying in the hospital bed.

However, Genmitsu Mukai was not as surprised and excited as Yoshizo Oonuki.

He simply lowered his black magic hat and raised the corners of his mouth in an unfathomable manner.

"Of course it's [confidential]. A magician's secrets can't be revealed so easily."

"Look, this is just the first step in the reversal."

—————May 8, 3:30 p.m.——————

————Shikoku Regional Police Headquarters————

The policeman at the counter of the police station looked at the black magician in front of him with doubt and surprise.

This mysterious man dressed in black came with the young detective who left yesterday in disgrace.

Could it be that this is the new lawyer that the girl detective found for the retrial of the case...?

But, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a magician performing a magic show, right?
Do you expect the magician to conjure a flower in the courtroom, bribe the presiding judge, and make the presiding judge declare the defendant not guilty?
"Um, Mr. Magician, the police station is not planning to invite anyone to perform magic shows."

"Are you in the wrong place? Could you please not interfere with official business?"

The policeman swallowed and said with a wry smile.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu next to her shook her head secretly.

(Really? It would have been better to just use the classic skin from the beginning.)
(If I use a magician's disguise, I will definitely be stopped outside by the police.)
However, Xiang Yuanguang was not moved by it and he snapped his fingers lightly.

Then he turned his hand and stretched it towards the police.

What appeared in his palm was Xiang Yuanguang's tattered lawyer medal.

"Although the police station did not invite me to perform magic, the defendant intended to do so."

"She can't wait for me to perform a magic trick called [Ace Attorney]."

"Please look at this medal. It is my certificate of admission... How do you think?"

The voice of the Black Magician is completely different from the original voice of Xiang Yuanguang.

This was also one of the things he gained when he completed his training in magic.

Ventriloquism and voice changing, these are also necessary talents for a magician, right?

Looking at the lawyer medal in Xiang Yuanguang's hand, the police at the counter couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, this thing is so tattered.

But it is indeed a lawyer's medal, but one wonders if it is a scrap item picked up from a garbage dump.

Since it's a lawyer's medal...then, should I put it in and meet the defendant?
(No, no, I should call Prosecutor Guiyue and ask beforehand...)
Thinking of this, the policeman picked up the phone with a wry smile and said embarrassedly.

"Well, please allow me to check the situation for a while, and I'll give you an answer later, okay?"

"Yes, please."

The black magician snapped his fingers and stood there quietly.

The pair of pupils hidden under the black mask were quietly capturing useful information within the police station.

One of them was the woman who appeared at the corner... the one I had seen on the Silver Star.

The daughter of Shikoku District Chief Prosecutor Kizuki Ryuun and the young prosecutor Kizuki Hotaru.

(It seems that this is also a breakthrough point. We can try to obtain information from her later.)
(However, the most urgent task is to meet with the defendant first, obtain the letter of authorization, and then start the on-site investigation.)
On this side, Mukai Genmitsu and Koshimizu Nanatsuki are still waiting.

The call was connected over there.

"I'm Guiyue Liuyun. What's the matter? Defense lawyer? Who's here?"

"…What is a black magician? Haven't you seen one?"

Gui Yue Liu Yun, who was sitting in the Chief Prosecutor's Office, frowned. He had heard of all the lawyers in Shikoku, big and small.

But he had never heard of such a person as the Black Magician.

However, the lawyers still dared to come even though it was clear that Yoshizo Oonuki had lost his lawyer medal because of his defense.

If he is not extremely powerful, then he is just trying to attract attention... Is this black magician the latter?

(Could this unconventional defense lawyer be Xiang Yuanguang who came on the Silver Star?)

(No, that’s not right. Xiang Yuanguang was caught in the explosion and was in the operating room two days ago. It’s impossible for him to come out today.)
(No matter what, let’s give it a try. We’ll know if we have the ability once we give it a try.)
"Give the phone to the so-called [Black Magician]."

"Yes, I understand... Sir, this is your phone number."

The police here nodded repeatedly and handed the landline phone to Xiang Yuanguang.

Xiang Yuanguang took it and spoke without any hesitation.

"Hehe, I am a black magician who came here riding on the wind of public opinion."

"You are Gui Yue Liu Yun, the chief prosecutor of the four countries, right?"

"In this trial, I will use my exquisite magic to shatter your undefeated myth!"

Guiyue Liuyun blinked and frowned.

This voice didn't seem to be Xiang Yuanguang's voice, and the accent sounded like a clown in a circus.

Humph, he's just a circus jester, what big trouble can he cause?

Call Xiaoying and ask her to confirm it and then release it.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

The Black Magician spun the phone in his hand and threw it back onto the base of the landline.

His voice was still as relaxed as before, yet with a hint of affectation.

"It seems that the chief prosecutor on the other end of the phone is unwilling to say anything more to me."

"Ah, yes, yes..."

(…What a weird guy, should he let me go or not?)

The policeman at the counter couldn't help but feel ashamed.

At this time, Gui Yueying, holding the information, poked her little head out from the corner of the stairs.

She looked at the black magician and felt... no impression at all.

At this time, Xiang Yuanguang deliberately took off his black magic hat, as if he was fanning himself because he felt hot.

It also let Gui Yueying see that his hair was not standing up like a hedgehog.

(Hmm... not Mr. Xiangyuan, this kind of hair is definitely not suitable!)

(But then again, why does Dad care whether the defense lawyer is Mr. Xiang Yuan?)
(Can the quality of a defense lawyer really change a case that is already set in stone?)
The young prosecutor was a little confused, but decided to step in and solve the problem.

She came to the counter, stood next to the policeman, and then spoke.

"Are you the defense lawyer who is here to defend Ms. Mizuguchi Kana, the suspect in this case? "

"Ah, your outfit is really surprising. I was just trying to confirm your identity before."

"It's all right now. Please go into the interrogation room and wait. Ms. Mizuguchi Kana will be here soon."

The black magician put on his black hat, flipped his hand, and conjured up a rose.

"Oh, thank you so much, beautiful lady."

"Finally, please forgive me for being rude and leave first."

Xiang Yuanguang put down the rose and walked into the police station with Koshimizu Nanatsuki in a dignified manner.

Although he felt that Guiyue Liuyun would not do anything to harm others, it was always better to be prepared.

Besides, if you operate in secret, there might be some unexpected results.
