Chapter 447: Reversal of Mask (19)
—————May 29th, 8:20 a.m.——————
—————First Courtroom, Lounge——————
The coin flew in the air and finally fell into someone's hand.
"What? Looks like this time you'll have to let Uncle Maori in as your paralegal."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki sighed and said in displeasure.
Because no one knew what was going on with the second trial of the diplomatic embassy murder case, it was required that only those who had received the subpoena for the second trial could enter to listen to the trial or participate in the trial.
However, as a genuine paralegal at the Xiangyuan Law Firm, Nanatsuki Koshimizu did not receive a subpoena for the trial, and the black-haired man next to her... no, the famous detective from Kansai did not receive a subpoena for the trial either.
However, Kogoro Mouri received the court subpoena, and not only Kogoro Mouri, but also Conan, Ran Mouri - all the staff of Mouri Office received the court receipt!
"But it looks like you're quite confident, so it doesn't matter whether we go in or not."
After hearing what Nanatsuki Koshimizu said, he nodded to Minamoto no Mitsuki, expressing his agreement with her.
Since Conan has made it clear that he will appear in court as Kogoro Mouri, the game is naturally a sure win.
As for why Nanatsuki Koshimizu and Heiji Hattori did not receive the summons for the second trial, he also had some speculations... For example, the invitees for the second trial were not actually related to this case.
(The reason why Maori Ran, Maori Kogoro, and Conan were able to receive the subpoena from the Inquisition is probably because they had all boarded the Silver Star train before. It is also very easy to verify this.)
(Just wait a while, wait for an old acquaintance who has not been seen for a while to come over, and then it will become clear whether the specific situation is consistent with his speculation.)
Xiang Yuanguang raised the Demon Hunting Sword that Hattori Heiji returned to him, and with a light push of his finger, the long sword immediately came out of the scabbard, revealing the extremely sharp cold light inside.
If Dante has found the mole in the Special Investigation Team, then this trial will be the last trial for the embassy murder case... In other words, the Black Organization will take coercive measures at this time.
Unless Vermouth thinks that all of their detectives, lawyers, prosecutors, and agents are a bunch of idiots, they are unable to find the traitor even after capturing Ireland and knowing some of the Black Organization's information.
(In other words, when the trial ends, does the hard battle begin?)
However, the Metropolitan Police Department should have already made arrangements, and as long as anyone dares to show up, no one will be able to escape.
Whether it's Pisk, Vermouth, or the sniper...
His gaze fell on the blade of the Demon Hunting Knife that reflected the cold light, and he seemed to see again the Silver Star Mobile Tribunal and Habri Libnand being engulfed by the flames of the explosion.
"The one who rises from the ashes is the real Phoenix. Let me show you my transformation and progress over the past few days..."
Crunch——————
The door of the lounge was pushed open, and the bailiff poked his head to look at the people inside, then stared at the demon hunting knife in Xiang Yuanguang's hand.
"Uh, Lawyer Xiang Yuan, isn't your knife a sound machine? How come it looks like a real knife...?"
"What real knife? You're seeing things."
Xiang Yuanguang calmly sheathed the knife, then pulled the handle again, and this time the blade was indeed made of plastic.
Watching this scene, the bailiff rubbed his eyes, as if he felt he was seeing things. He looked again and saw that the Demon Hunting Knife still had the same plastic blade, and no longer had the sharpness that he had caught a glimpse of when he pushed the door open before.
The French police officer touched the back of his head in confusion, wondering if he had really seen it wrong, and then talked about the real reason why he came to the lounge to find Xiang Yuanguang.
"The trial is about to begin. Detective Maori has already entered the courtroom. Prosecutor Dante asked me to ask you if you are ready for the trial. If you are ready, please enter the courtroom in advance to prevent any problems."
...Hmm? Why is Uncle Maori so active this time? What happened?
The blue hedgehog was a little confused, but since the Inquisition had already urged him, he didn't plan to stay for too long.
After all, during the second trial, he couldn't even see the defendant Tsujimura Toshimitsu in the lounge, so there was no point in staying here.
But before leaving the lounge, Xiang Yuanguang turned around and gave a reminder.
"As expected, the courtroom might be a little dangerous right now. Those terrorists might attack here."
"Koshimizu, Hattori, be careful. If you have any problems, ask the secret police here for help. They will help you." Both Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Hattori Heiji seemed a little impatient at this moment.
One of them was flipping a coin while the other was flipping through messages on his phone, talking absentmindedly.
"I know. You're not a kid. Just do what you have to do."
"Hattori and I are fine. You are the one who should be careful about your safety."
Hearing this, Xiang Yuanguang shrugged and turned away.
That's right, whether it's Nanatsuki Koshimizu or Heiji Hattori, they are both famous detectives. In this world view, there are few famous detectives whose strength is within the normal range, so he doesn't need to worry about them.
Crunch——————
When Xiang Yuanguang stepped into the corridor which was quieter than usual, pushed open the door of the first trial court and walked to the defense seat, a voice came from the gallery behind him.
"Wow, Guang, you're the defense lawyer again this time? It seems like you're always involved in various cases."
The blue hedgehog didn't even need to turn around to know that the person speaking behind him was his friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time...
The eldest son of the Arita family, Arita Ryosuke.
"I got out with great difficulty this time. The old man said that I didn't encounter any danger this time. I can just regard it as my bad luck. I can do whatever I want and don't need to learn those complicated courses anymore."
"Hey, speaking of this, I really envy you Suzuki family. At least you family members seem to be very free, unlike me, who will be pulled back to class when something happens."
Arita Ryosuke was sitting in the audience and complaining, but he did not forget to bring along Suzuki Sonoko who was chatting with her best friend next to him, which immediately made Suzuki Sonoko look at him unfriendly.
"Arita, say whatever you want to say now. You'll have to go back to school after the trial is over."
"……?Why?"
The eldest son of the Arita family was a little confused, but just one look at the situation in the trial and the reason became clear at a glance - Kogoro Mouri, Conan, and Mitsuru Mukai, the three pillars of the disaster world gathered together.
In this situation, if the Tribunal does not do something, it seems that it is somewhat looking down on the existence of the Three Pillars of God.
In response, Xiang Yuanguang just shook his head and took a cup of coffee from somewhere and held it in his hand.
"Hey, everyone misunderstood me. How could it be possible that wherever we go, something bad happened? It should be that something bad happened somewhere, and we were attracted to it, right? Uncle Maori?"
Kogoro Maori nodded in agreement and said with emotion.
"That's right. We two can be called the dragon and the phoenix of the detective and lawyer worlds. We are so outstanding that we are attracted to the case. It's obvious that others say so because they don't understand our excellence. Sigh... As expected, outstanding people are always lonely."
At this time, the elementary school student of Death in the audience pushed his plain glasses, adjusted his watch, and thought about where to inject the needle into Uncle Maori's neck next.
Hearing the words of the two talented people in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head.
(Really? You two are the Death God and the Disaster Star... Wherever you go, trouble happens...)
Seeing such a noisy environment, the blond judge in the main seat couldn't help but shook his head.
As soon as the clock struck eight-thirty, he lowered the gavel and made a solemn announcement.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
"Silence, silence! The second trial of the diplomatic embassy murder case is about to begin!"
"May I ask if the defense and prosecutors have completed the preparations required for the trial of this case?"
