Chapter 301: Adjournment Time – Investigation
—————May 22, 2:30 p.m.——————

—————In Tokyo, the magic venue where the accident happened three years ago——————

“…As stated above, as the owner of the venue, you do have an obligation to pay a portion of the compensation.”

“Because those magic props were also directly selected and used from your magic venue.”

“You certainly bear some responsibility for the magic accident that was ultimately caused by the malfunction of these magic props.”

Xiang Yuanguang was sitting in the owner’s office of the magic venue.

The owner of the magic venue who was sitting opposite Xiang Yuanguang was somewhat dissatisfied.

“Tsk, even if there is a problem with my magic tool, doesn’t that mean he has no responsibility?”

“If that guy is really a genius magician with superb skills as he claims…”

“There’s something wrong with the magic tool, how could he not notice it? If he didn’t notice it, then there’s something wrong with him!”

“Besides, magicians just need to perform, but we who organize magic shows have to consider a lot more. This is clearly the magician’s own fault, so don’t bother me anymore!”

Hearing the extremely arrogant words of the man in front of him, a hint of coldness flashed across Yuan Guang’s eyes.

He finally understood why Kensuke Kumemon said that this guy was very tight-lipped.

There are no relatives and no black material, so there is no way to find any evidence against him from this aspect.

As expected, Kumimon will probably ask Kaga Ranmaru to launch another public opinion offensive.

They threatened the owner of the venue with news headlines, saying that if he didn’t pay compensation, they would expose him and make him bankrupt.

However, Xiang Yuanguang doesn’t need all these messy things, what he wants to do is very simple.

“Baby, look directly at me!”

The hedgehog-haired lawyer slammed the table, and immediately the table made a sound of being unable to bear the weight.

The next moment, an invisible chess board quietly emerged and enveloped everything.

Looking at the three black chess pieces appearing in front of the owner, Xiang Yuanguang raised his eyebrows.

This old man clearly knows the law, but he just acts arrogantly and tries to be stingy, right?

Okay, let’s play. I’ll play it with you till the end!
“If you don’t understand legal principles, I will explain them to you.”

“But if you still don’t understand after I explain the legal principles, I can only explain physics to you.”

—————May 22, 2:30 p.m.——————

—————Miracle Magic Troupe, performance venue——————

“A magician also died in an accident more than a decade ago? A student of Kujiujiu Yuankang?”

Kensuke Kumemon stood inside the performance venue even though he did not have permission to conduct the investigation.

He looked at the water tank in front of him and marveled.

“Brother, I promised you the money I would give you, and I will give you the money you promised me. Please tell me the identity of this magician.”

“I’m very interested in this, and I might even pay more.”

The middle-aged staff member next to him nodded quickly.

Dai Machiko was also helpless about this, although she didn’t like the strategy of using money to gain the upper hand.

However, it must be said that Attorney Gu Meimen really has every advantage in this move.

After all, there are very few people in the world who have high tastes and regard money as dirt.

Perhaps the only one who can be considered as such is the lawyer Xiang Yuan… After all, the legendary lawyer also eats vegetarian noodles and such.

Of course, if Machiko Dai knew that Genmitsu Xiang was eating vegetarian noodles because he really had no money at that time.

Perhaps the filter for the legendary lawyer Xiang Yuanguang will also fade away.

“I found it. Hey, Miss Dai, you are here too?”

Kaga Ranmaru poked his head out from the side with a smile, scaring Dai Machiko.

He held the yellow envelope in his hand between his fingers and then shook the envelope.

“Everything that Attorney Koumemon asked me to investigate is here. How should I put it? It’s a great discovery.” – May 22, 2:30 p.m. –

—————Tokyo area, Kujuku House——————

“Excuse me, we are detectives commissioned by Attorney Yuan to conduct an on-site investigation.”

Mao Lilan clasped her hands together and said apologetically.

Mrs. Kujuku was a little surprised when she opened the door.

She thought it would be Lawyer Xiang Yuan himself who would come to ask questions.

However, as long as the truth of this case can be found out, it will be the same no matter who comes.

“Please come in… Do you bring children with you when you investigate a case?”

Mrs. Jiujiu was a little surprised.

But at this moment, Conan had already rushed into the house.

“Ah, Conan, don’t run around in other people’s houses!”

Xiaolan said this subconsciously, and Maori Kogoro felt helpless about this.

“Well, he was the one who insisted on coming here. There was nothing I could do. I couldn’t leave the child alone, could I?”

“I remember when Mr. Jiujiu performed, the photo of my child and Mr. Jiujiu was still in the cabinet at home. This time, it was also due to some reasons…”

Uncle Maori closed the door while chatting with Mrs. Kujuku.

He was also present when Genko and Kumemon Kensuke exchanged information, so he naturally understood that there must be something wrong with Kyujuku Motoyasu, the leader and great magician of the Miracle Magic Troupe.

This time we are not here just to collect information.

—————May 22, 2:30 p.m.——————

—————Detention center, interrogation room——————

Kazuzo Sanada, who had been detained on suspicion of a crime, sat opposite the glass.

There was some confusion in the white magician’s eyes, and he didn’t understand why Nanatsuki Koshimizu wanted to see him.

If I remember correctly, he and Nanatsuki Koshimizu didn’t say a few words to each other, right?
“Mr. Sanada, I have to say that you have a great talent for acting. An actor is more suitable for you than a magician.”

The expired girl detective’s fingers tapped lightly on the outer shell of the full-coverage headphones.

She said this as a matter of course, and immediately Sanada Kazuzo’s expression changed subtly.

Even if he’s an expired high school detective, he’s still a detective.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu’s observation and logical thinking abilities are not bad.

At the trial, Genmi Mukai was thinking about how to break through Sanada Kazuzo’s defense, while Conan was thinking about how to prove the real murderer was guilty.

But she was observing Sanada Kazuzo, and after the trial, she was sure of one thing——

“Your transformation is a disguise. It’s to cover up something.”

I heard the calm and confident words of Nanatsuki Koshimizu.

The White Magician raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn’t understand what Koshimizu Nanatsuki was talking about.

However, Koshimizu Nanatsuki spoke bluntly at this time.

“You pretended to be defensive so that Xiang Yuanguang would think he had hit upon the secret deep inside you.”

“But as an outstanding magician, you won’t collapse so easily.”

“You must be hiding something more important than the possible blood in the room…”

The young detective imitated Yuan Guang, snapped her fingers, and then spoke as a matter of course.

“What you’re hiding is the relationship between Miyoshi Asako and Kujuku Motoyasu, and her motive for murder.”

“Am I right, Mr. Sanada?”
