Chapter 382 Great Ace Attorney is a Strange Thing!
Chapter 382: Great Ace Attorney... No Way! (13)
"Uh, um, well, I think Oki Ayako was seen with a lighter, right?"
"Kawazu Hiroo went to set up the scene because he saw Oki Ayako's lighter..."
Prosecutor Sugiura was sweating profusely and stammered.
Suddenly I came to my senses and realized that the topic had shifted.
"No, aren't we arguing about whether Oki Ayako received the note?"
"Is it possible that the murderer didn't actually know who had the lighter and who didn't, and was killing randomly?"
"After all, you did say that this book was the reason why Sherlock Holmes fans came to Mycroft's Hotel, didn't you?"
The elite prosecutor became more and more confident as he spoke, and in the end he subconsciously fiddled with his non-existent wig.
When he became serious, even his temperament seemed to change.
"Because the lighting in the garage is dim, if someone goes to the garage to look for books, they have to use some lighting."
"Ayako Oki just had a lighter in her hand, so she used the lighter as [open flame] lighting."
"If it were someone else, they might have used candles, oil lamps or other [open flames] to light the garage, right?"
"In this way, no matter who goes to the garage, there is a high probability that they will die in the explosion of the vehicle."
Prosecutor Sugiura looked at Xiang Yuanguang complacently.
"Therefore, what the defense needs to prove is not [why the murderer knew that Oki Ayako had a lighter]."
"Instead, we should prove that [Ayako Oki didn't know the book was in the garage because of the note]!"
The situation was reversed. It was reversed in the hands of Prosecutor Sugiura!
The judge was horrified, his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something incredible.
Even Hattori Heiji, who had only met Prosecutor Sugiura for a short time, found it a little hard to believe.
On the contrary, Prosecutor Mugen-mitsu, who was Sugiura's opponent, appeared calm.
He simply raised the empty cup of coffee, took the last sip, and then exhaled a breath of hot air.
The next moment, the hedgehog-headed man slammed his hands on the table.
The violent slapping sound instantly focused everyone's attention on Xiang Yuanguang.
He raised his hand, pointed at Prosecutor Sugiura who was sitting in the prosecutor's seat, and spoke loudly.
"A pound of pears! The view put forward by the prosecutor is simply ridiculous and totally illogical!"
Word bullet, fire!
A strong wind instantly blew in all directions, centered on the source of light.
Hattori Heiji, who was standing next to him, felt it most strongly.
Even the BGM fluctuated at this moment and switched instantly!
(Current BGM: Naruhodou Ryuichi～Objection! 2002)
Faced with such a strong wind, there was no time to be shocked by the rebuttal of his words.
Prosecutor Sugiura just held on to both sides of the prosecutor's seat with his hands, secretly thanking his lucky star that he was not wearing a wig in court.
Now I feel a sense of joy that after fighting for so long, the BOSS finally appears in its second form.
"Prosecutor Sugiura, are you still living in the Taisho era? An open flame is required to illuminate."
"No matter how I think about it, it would be clearer if I used a flashlight to illuminate it, right?"
"Even if you don't dwell on this issue, you should know, right? Whether it's a candle or an oil lamp..."
"Whoever gets the note must return to the restaurant and find the maid at the Mycroft Hotel."
Xiang Yuanguang's eyes were extremely determined, as if burning with flames.
He added another series of attacks without any hesitation, and Prosecutor Sugiura was shocked.
"Because, in this era of electrification, if there is nothing wrong with the circuit."
"These open flame lighting tools simply cannot be placed in places where they can be seen everywhere."
"If you have to use such a lighting tool, it can only be in a place where there is no light."
"Where are the lights? I suppose there are lights everywhere in the Mycroft Hotel?"
The hedgehog-haired lawyer held up the court record, patted the paper, and spoke with certainty.
"Unless the person who wants to borrow the open flame is going out, or going to some place where electric lights cannot be used." "For example, theft."
"Even though Kanaya Hiroyuki is dead, his books are still his property."
"To obtain the book under these circumstances would be tantamount to theft, so the perpetrators must have concealed it."
"If you can conceal or make up a reason for using lighting tools, you will most likely be suspected."
"Therefore, the trap set by the murderer in the garage could only be aimed at those who want to collect the first edition..."
“Visitors in the museum can also have their own lighting tools and do not need to borrow lighting tools from the maids.”
"The only two people who meet this requirement are Ayako Oki and Toshiaki Fujisawa."
"Therefore, this could not be a random killing, it must have been a premeditated murder."
Xiang Yuanguang's finger gently touched his forehead.
Then he spread his hands and shrugged.
"And there was only one person who knew in advance that Oki Ayako used an open flame when smoking."
"That's Oki Ayako's boyfriend, Mr. Kento Toba, a witness in this case."
"And Toba Kento's initial targets were only Kanaya Hiroyuki and Fujisawa Toshiaki."
"That's why I said that the second note was not found at the scene and other witnesses did not mention it either."
"It is a second note that does not exist at all, except for the note in Fujisawa Toshiaki's hand."
After hearing this, Prosecutor Sugiura still found it a little hard to accept.
He frowned, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked loudly.
"If you said that Kento Toba's target was Toshiaki Fujisawa and Hiroyuki Kanaya, why did Ayako Oki die?"
"She is Kento Toba's girlfriend, and they are both Sherlock Holmes fans, so they have something in common."
"No matter how you think about it, Kento Toba will not attack Ayako Ooki, right?"
"And according to your idea, Kento Toba's initial target was Kanaya Hiroyuki and Fujisawa Toshiaki."
"Then you use the argument that the murderer couldn't have known that Oki Ayako had a lighter..."
"It can also be used on Fujisawa Toshiaki. How could Kento Toba know in advance that Fujisawa Toshiaki has a lighter?"
"Why did he kill Kanaya Hiroyuki and Fujisawa Toshiaki? What was his motive?"
The prosecutor was probably very anxious at this moment and threw out all kinds of questions at once.
Hearing these questions, Xiang Yuanguang subconsciously touched his chin.
But I soon came to my senses——————
Because, for him, these questions already have answers, it’s just a matter of asking them earlier or later.
He snapped his fingers and then spoke in a calm tone.
"Because Oki Ayako said she already knew who the murderer was, so the murderer wanted to kill her."
"She died in the garage only because she happened to smoke, otherwise she should have died behind Fujisawa Toshiaki."
"Also, Kento Toba and Toshiaki Fujisawa participated in the last Q&A event held by Hiroyuki Kanaya."
"It's not surprising that he would know small details like Fujisawa Toshiaki smokes."
"As for the motive... we'll have to ask Kento Toba himself."
pat.
He snapped his fingers lightly and looked at the presiding judge in the main seat.
"It's time, Your Honor, to call the last witness in court."
The bald old man was a little dazed, but he came to his senses after a while.
Then he nodded, raised the gavel, and struck it.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
"Please ask the bailiff to summon our witness Kento Toba to enter the courtroom to testify."
"There are some details of the case that he must confirm in court!"
