Chapter 200 Reversal of Lavender
Chapter 200 Reversal of Lavender (1)
—————May 9, 8:30 a.m.——————
—————Shikoku Region, Third Court——————
Because of the public opinion brought about by news from local newspapers in Shikoku.
The trial court had to re-examine the Lavender Villa murder case.
In order to show the importance of this case, the size of the gallery was expanded.
The prosecutor in this case is Gui Yue Liu Yun, the chief prosecutor of the Shikoku District Prosecutors Office.
He was already standing in the prosecutor's seat before the trial began.
This was a unique occurrence in the past.
After all, the arrogant Chief Prosecutor never arrives at the courtroom first.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
The presiding judge knocked the table with the gavel in his hand and spoke seriously.
"Silence, silence, this court requires silence now."
"The trial of the Lavender Villa murder case will be retried here."
"And the prosecutor of this court is the chief prosecutor of the Shikoku region, Gui Yue Liu Yun."
"The defense lawyer is...why hasn't the defense lawyer arrived at the courtroom yet?"
The presiding judge, wearing a silver wig, frowned.
His eyes swept across every corner of the courtroom.
But there was no sign of the defense lawyer.
What is this? The defense lawyer was absent from this trial?
"Hmph, he's just a circus clown. There's no need to wait."
"Your Honor, you may now allow the defendant in this case to enter the courtroom."
"After all, the evidence in this case is solid, so there's no need to waste too much time."
Gui Yue Liu Yun, who was standing at the prosecutor's seat, showed a somewhat arrogant look.
After all, he believed that there was only one defense lawyer in Shikoku who could pose a threat to him.
That was the hedgehog-headed lawyer Xiang Yuanguang who left a deep impression on him during the trial of the Yueying Island case.
And the defense lawyer in this court, the guy who calls himself the black magician Virgil——
It is impossible that it is Xiang Yuanguang, because not only does he not have a hedgehog head, but he is also very agile.
The hedgehog-haired guy who was caught in the explosion on the Silver Star train could not have recovered so quickly even if he was discharged from the hospital.
Therefore, in Guiyue Liuyun's eyes, there is nothing to be afraid of now.
The victory in this trial was Guiyue Liuyun’s victory from the very beginning!
Hearing this, many audience members in the gallery couldn't help but whisper and talk among themselves.
"I heard that the defense lawyer in this case is a magician. I've never heard of him before..."
"Shouldn't a magician be in a circus? How could he possibly stand in court..."
"You're not stirring up public opinion just to build momentum for yourself, are you? Is this really a clown who's trying to gain fame?"
Listening to the words of the audience around him, Guiyue Liuyun couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
However, the young prosecutor standing next to Guiyue Liuyun did not think so.
Although Kizuki Hotaru only met the black magician once, she was deeply impressed by him.
Rather than being a clown who fooled the Inquisition for fame, it's more like...
A magician who has completed all the preparations and is able to perform with ease.
(If we follow the magician's thinking, he will only appear when the momentum reaches its peak, right?)
(So, where will he appear?)
Gui Yueying's vision gradually lost focus, and the entire court was reconstructed in a way that she understood.
Among the countless silhouettes, there is one person who stands out.
If it was a magician... he would be...
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
The presiding judge banged the gavel and said bluntly.
"Since the defense lawyer has given up the defense, then let's just start the trial of the case."
"Now, please ask the bailiff to go to the interrogation room and bring the defendant Mizuguchi Kana to the defendant's seat in the courtroom."
The two bailiffs standing at the door nodded immediately.
They have long been accustomed to this kind of daily work.
But just when they pushed the door, they suddenly realized that the door seemed to be stuck by something?
"Eh? Eh... can't open? Why..."
The bailiff pushed the door forward again with some doubt. And at that moment, something seemed to explode with ease.
The door opened directly outwards, almost knocking the two bailiffs to the ground.
Fireworks fell from the sky, and the person who appeared on top of the fireworks was none other than the assistant of our lawyer.
Detective Nanatsuki Koshimizu.
"It's Miss Koshimizu... Then as expected, the Black Magician is here now -"
The whole audience's attention has been attracted by Nanatsuki Koshimizu.
But Gui Yueying turned her head towards the defense seat.
Sure enough, the next moment a breeze blew across the courtroom as the black cloak swirled.
The focus of the entire audience was shifted again at this moment.
Everyone looked towards the figure surrounded by the swirling black cloak.
The next moment, the defense lawyer, [Black Magician] Virgil, appears with his cloak spread out and a carefree attitude!
"W-what? This defense lawyer actually...played such a trick?"
Guiyue Liuyun was shocked, he didn't notice it at all.
When and how did the black magician appear in the defense seat!
How on earth was this done?
"The defense has not given up the trial, Your Excellency the Presiding Judge."
"I was at the defense table from the beginning... How come you didn't see it?"
Black Magician Virgil's voice was incredibly relaxed.
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but exclaim, and even the chief judge couldn't help but speak.
“From the very beginning? But how did you do that?”
"Defense attorney, could you please explain the magic trick you just performed?"
In response, the Black Magician shook his head and snapped his fingers.
The corners of his mouth, revealed under the half black mask, curled up in a confident manner.
"No, Master Judge. A magician's secret cannot be easily revealed to others."
"In short, you just need to know that the defense has not given up this defense, is that enough?"
"S-Next, please have the bailiff bring the defendant in, and then... start the trial."
Boom!
Guiyue Liuyun will never allow the initiative in this trial to be easily taken away by others!
He slammed the table at the prosecutor's table with his palm and pointed at the black magician without any hesitation.
"Your Honor, we must not allow such a fellow to act recklessly in the courtroom."
"Quickly sentence him to the crime of [disturbing the order of the court], and put him——————"
call out.
I saw a streak of light cutting through the air, and the next moment it landed in front of Guiyue Liuyun's table.
That is a playing card, and it is the "joker" among playing cards, also known as "JOKER".
"Hey, can you please not yell so loudly during the magic show?"
"Ah, if you want to participate in the magic show, the circus will reserve a spot for you."
Virgil clapped his hands, then easily pointed his fingertips at Guiyue Liuyun.
His voice was still as relaxed and natural as before.
"I will leave you the circus's trump card position, which is... the clown."
Although many people in the audience knew what laughing in the courtroom meant.
But seeing the relaxed magician and the prosecutor who was so angry that he couldn't speak.
How can one resist such a funny thing?
As one person laughed out loud, the laughter became contagious and the dominance of the court was completely changed.
“You, you————”
Guiyue Liuyun's expression turned extremely ugly.
pat.
The Black Magician snapped his fingers again.
"Alright, please invite the defendant, Ms. Mizuguchi Kana, into the courtroom."
"Next, I will perform a great magic trick called [Ace Attorney]!"
There are still four chapters, I will definitely post them before twelve o'clock!
