Chapter 746: Dragon-like Reversal
Chapter 746: Dragon-like Reversal (1)
—————June 12, 8:30 a.m.—————
—————Tokyo District Court, Lounge——————
(Current BGM: Fatei Rest Room ~ Hajime Overture)
"There are still thirty minutes until the trial begins."
Xiang Yuanguang raised his wrist, glanced at the time, and spoke to the legal assistant next to him.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu shook her head casually, her fingers lightly pressing on the earphone shell, as if she didn't hear anything. However, based on her understanding of Genkou, this former high school female detective should not forget the time because of listening to music.
This public safety case was heard in the First Trial Court.
The next presiding judge will not be the white-bearded, bald (emphasis added) old man he is familiar with, but the Golden Lion King presiding judge of the First Trial Chamber who has never been very fond of him.
Perhaps it is because of the mutual repulsion between the animals?
crunch————
The door of the lounge was pushed open directly towards Yuan Guang.
At this moment, the bailiffs who were on high alert and the police officers in charge of daily guarding turned their heads to look at the door. They were quite surprised to see Xiang Yuanguang. The police officer who looked familiar even said in confusion.
"Hey, Mr. Xiang Yuan, you actually came to the lounge to meet with the defendant?"
(What do you mean I would actually come to the lounge to meet with the defendant? Doesn’t this sound really weird? I am the defense lawyer for this case. It would be weird not to have any contact with the defendant before the trial, right?)
Xiang Yuanguang was sweating profusely. He twitched the corners of his mouth and complained in his heart.
However, he then gently touched his chin with his fingers, looked at the Japanese police officer, and tilted his head slightly, as if three question marks were visibly drawn on the top of his head, wondering when he had met this police officer.
(I feel like I've seen it somewhere, but I haven't seen it often enough, so I can't remember where...?)
Nanatsuki Koshimizu next to him put his hands in his coat pockets, said nothing, and did not pay any attention to the expression of Genmi Mukai. Instead, he focused his attention on the three defendants next to him.
These three people are the remaining members of the Ghost Tiger Group, one of the peripheral organizations of the Dongcheng Society.
Only these geniuses could come up with such an abstract idea as kidnapping a police officer who had won a high title in a shooting competition in order to target the well-known ace prosecutor Makoto Kusakabe of the Public Security Department of the Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office.
All I can say is that the bad guys’ careful planning is not as good as the stupid people’s sudden inspiration?
The expired high school detective pondered.
On the other side, the Japanese public security officer who was stared at by Xiang Yuanguang was a little confused. He didn't know why the hedgehog-headed lawyer kept looking at him. Then he looked down at his clothes and didn't find anything wrong.
It was not until he noticed that the bailiff next to him was wearing a police uniform, while he was wearing his daily uniform, that he reacted and quickly took out his ID from his pocket, opened it, and showed it to Xiang Yuanguang.
"Oh, I forgot to mention that I was assigned by the Japanese Public Security Bureau to be in charge of public security in this incident."
"Because I was working all night last night with Officer Furuya to solve the missing case, and then I came here directly during the day. I didn't have time to change into my police uniform, so I came here wearing this."
(What? So you guys in charge of criminal/public security are required to wear uniforms when you appear in court?)
Xiang Yuanguang was a little surprised.
Every criminal and public security officer he had seen had never worn a formal police uniform. They basically just wore casual clothes to appear in court. He had never expected that there was such a rule in the court. However, this was not important. What was important was the certificate...
The hedgehog-haired lawyer's eyes fell on the name on the ID, and he finally remembered who this person was.
————Yuya Kazami, one of the public security police officers of the Tokyo District of Japan and the assistant of Rei Furuya.
Although Yuya Kazami has appeared quite a few times compared to most characters, he is a little too undistinguished, so much so that even though Xiang Yuanguang has met Yuya Kazami once, he can't remember who he is when he sees him again.
"Officer Kazami..."
The hedgehog-haired lawyer rubbed his fingers under his chin, his eyes became serious, and asked.
"Excuse me, how is the investigation into Haibara Ai going now?"
As soon as he came here, he knew that Xiang Yuanguang would definitely ask this question. Feng Jianyuya put away his ID and put it back in his pocket, and then answered seriously.
"It's no problem. Officer Furuya has already started narrowing down the search and can determine the approximate location."
"Within three days of the trial, we will definitely be able to find Miss Huiyuan's location... Don't worry, Mr. Xiang Yuan. As far as I know, the kidnapper should not have any intention of killing her."
(No intention of killing me? What does that mean? Don’t the kidnappers want to die with me?)
Xiang Yuanguang frowned slightly.
Although his thinking ability seemed weak at first compared to those detectives in this world view, after going through so many cases, his strength can no longer be treated as it was in the past.
Whether it is reasoning ability, thinking ability, or knowledge, there has been a great improvement.
(If the Omi Union had kidnapped Haibara Ai in the name of the Tojo Clan, then the Omi Union would definitely not care about Haibara Ai's life and would most likely kill her directly...)
(It seems that in the eyes of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, the people who kidnapped Huibara are still the Tojo Clan?)
(As for Rei Furuya, as the representative of the Japanese Public Security Bureau in Conan's world view, his reasoning and investigation abilities should be T1, and he also has a lot of resources, so he shouldn't make mistakes in his investigation...)
The hedgehog-haired lawyer sighed.
Now that things have come to this, let's first take a look at the evidence in the court that the Japanese public security side has determined is related to the Tojo Clan, and confirm whether this case is directly related to the Tojo Clan.
If there is, then Dongcheng would do this, so don't blame him for starting the show and continuing it until the hostages are rescued.
If not, then let’s try to find out the real mastermind behind the scenes and make sure that Dongcheng will not be blamed for the hidden manipulation of other forces.
Although the people from the East City Society are indeed not good people.
However, if you want to deal with the Dongcheng Society, it is better to use legal means. Using these crooked means to find opportunities to deal with the Dongcheng Society will not last long.
"Wait, you're a lawyer? You're our defense attorney, right?"
The defendant, who had been standing nearby and listening to the conversation between Genmiko Mutsugu and Kazami Yuya, could no longer hold back and spoke out loudly.
"You are our defense lawyer, why are you talking to the Japanese police? Is there something fishy going on?"
