Chapter 384 Great Ace Attorney is a Strange Thing!
Chapter 384: Great Ace Attorney... No Way! (15)
Oh my god, Master Xiangyuan, what a great way to use his ultimate skill at close range!
Hattori Heiji was a little amused.
What kind of magic trick is this? How come he didn't see the magic props being taken out while he was staring at it?
Is there really a magic in this world that can make the wind come out of nowhere with just a wave of the hand?
But no matter what, the deterrent power of this move is indeed terrifying.
Kento Toba, who was facing Minamoto Mitsuki, had a drastic change of expression at this moment.
However, this was also expected. After all, he would never have thought that he would be in the court...
The enemy you face is not a lawyer who speaks with laws, but a wizard who speaks with spells.
"Mr. Toba Kento, I heard that you have your own opinion and reasoning about this case."
"Then I ask you now to state your reasoning in the form of testimony."
"Whether you are the murderer or not, you just need to talk about everything openly and honestly."
"Everything will become clear from now on."
Xiang Yuanguang's hands were placed in the pockets of his blue coat at some point.
Although it was the first time that Kento Toba met Mitsugu Mukai in the court.
However, he inexplicably felt that this guy did not regard him as an opponent at all.
This hedgehog-head guy is just here... to fight a defense and get a not guilty record.
(How could he have such incredible abilities when he is just a defense lawyer?)
(I just don't believe his reasoning ability can be compared with his magical ability!)
Kento Toba's eyes suddenly lit up with flames and filled with anger.
It had nothing to do with anything else, it was simply that he felt unconvinced and unhappy.
A detective is someone who can see through the key to a case and easily find clues to solve it.
At the same time, because he can see into the key points of the case and easily find clues, he can become a perfect criminal.
(I had no choice, now I vow to take back everything I had as a detective.)
(You damn blue hedgehog, let me show you what a detective can do!)
Looking at Kento Toba and Mitsuki Mukai who were looking at each other.
Prosecutor Sugiura, standing at the prosecutor's seat, could not help but sweat beading on his forehead again.
He subconsciously took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face, then pushed up his glasses.
What's going on? Why did Toba Kento start firing at Genkou as soon as he came up?
Does this mean that Xiang Yuanguang has completely identified the murderer in this case as Kento Toba?
(Damn it, I’m a prosecutor, but I feel like an outsider!)
(It’s just like the feeling I had at the Honchidai… No, I must prove my ability.)
(Let me see if there are any flaws in Xiang Yuanguang’s questioning and reasoning.)
(Then, I will defeat it directly and prove that my title as the strongest prosecutor in Tokyo is true!)
Elite prosecutors get serious.
He raised his hand, looked at the presiding judge in the main seat, and spoke.
"The defense has stated what testimony it wants the witness to take."
“These are the inferences made by the witnesses in the three cases.”
"I think it is time to call on witnesses to testify on these three lines of reasoning."
"Mr. Judge, what do you think?"
...How can I watch it? I sit and watch it, how else can I watch it?
The confused bald old man lowered his head and looked at Xiang Yuanguang's hair.
I saw that the blue hedgehog's spikes had stood up like needles.
There's a terrifying feeling that if you put your hand on it, you'll cause real harm to yourself.
I shuddered for no apparent reason and the presiding judge became serious.
"In that case, please ask the witness to testify about your three reasoning processes."
"Not only does the defense want to hear your reasoning, but the court is also interested."
"However, please note that the Tribunal is not a place where people can speak as they please."
"Your reasoning... must provide at least one piece of evidence that can prove your claim."
"Witness, are you clear?"
Kento Toba, who was at the witness stand, sneered and pushed up his glasses. Although he called himself a detective, he would not really come to the court to testify without doing any research.
He understood the so-called reasoning of the trial court.
Therefore, when the presiding judge said this, he nodded without surprise.
The pupils behind his eyes were fixed on the defense lawyer standing in front of him.
Then, he sneered again and spoke rudely.
"Defense attorney, are you ready to face my [perfect reasoning]?"
"I will make you get out of the Tribunal and lose completely!"
"Let me show you the true strength of our detectives!"
(Why does this guy keep calling me "our detective"? I don't know him well. It's none of my business.)
(Don’t use yourself as an example to generalize the whole.)
Hattori Heiji, who was on the defense bench, was secretly complaining.
If the Sherlock Holmes in the book really existed, I would have to go and see his detective assistant at this time—
That is Watson, and then kindly ask Watson if he has a pistol with him, and then just shoot the guy!
"Stop talking nonsense, Toba Kento, I'm listening."
Xiang Yuanguang's voice was calm, and his eyes fell on a place that seemed to be empty.
The logical chess pieces that rose up on the four sides have replaced the Tribunal, and there are five black chess pieces in front of Kento Toba.
It’s not that the other party is so powerful, it’s simply because he has committed more crimes.
His reasoning goal using logical chess is to "find the truth behind the case."
Therefore, only when the opponent's three reasonings are completely shattered can the logical chess be disintegrated.
[~Reasoning about the murder of Kanaya Hiroyuki~]
[Testimony begins]
“I am the second participant in the [1000 Questions for Sherlock Holmes Fans] event.”
"This time I came to the Microv Hotel to participate in the event with my girlfriend Ayako Ooki."
"We stayed in this hotel for three days in total, and the case occurred in the early morning of the third day."
"It was around 3:30 in the morning when I, Oki Ayako, and Fujisawa Toshiaki saw unusual movement outside the window."
"We saw Kanaya Hiroyuki driving his vehicle towards the cliff in full clothing at this time."
"So the three of us climbed over the window and caught up with Kanaya Hiroyuki's car to check the situation."
"But when we asked Kanaya Hiroyuki, he didn't respond, and his face looked strange. He was probably dead at that time."
"As we were chasing the vehicle, it accelerated and fell off the cliff."
"It is obvious that the murderer's modus operandi was to kill the deceased, start the car, and then return to his room..."
"He only appeared when the three of us were screaming in shock, in order to create the illusion that the deceased had committed suicide."
"Unfortunately, there was a famous detective like me at the scene, and I could tell at a glance that the deceased had already died."
"Toshiaki Fujisawa, who also loves mystery novels, can prove that Kanaya Hiroyuki fits the profile of the deceased."
"This is my reasoning in the case of Kanaya Hiroyuki's murder. Any questions?"
[End of testimony]
The bald old man at the main seat nodded thoughtfully.
From this perspective, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Kento Toba's reasoning.
Since it was impossible for the deceased to start the vehicle, the only possibility was that the murderer killed the deceased and then started the vehicle.
Therefore, the suspected suspects were identified as other participants of the event who were not in the restaurant.
It seems... very reasonable. There shouldn't be any problem no matter how you look at it.
