Chapter 374: Great Ace Attorney… No Way! (5)

…The defense has not yet entered the questioning stage.

He raised his eyebrows at Yuan Guang.

But it doesn’t matter. After all, it’s just a verbal procedure.

He looked at the presiding judge in the main seat and said apologetically.

“The defense requested that we now enter the [questioning phase], and my paralegal is entering the courtroom for the first time.”

“The specific procedures of the trial are still unclear. Please bear with me, Mr. Judge.”

As expected, the easy-going bald old man did not blame anyone.

He just shook his head, put on a surprised expression, and said with some astonishment.

“Oh, it’s okay. I am very patient with friends from other countries.”

“After all, the trial procedures of courts in different countries and even different places are different.”

“It’s just that your assistant lawyer is not a native of Japan, but he speaks Japanese fluently.”

“It even has a bit of an accent from somewhere else… er, maybe it’s the pronunciation habits brought by a foreign language?”

Hearing the presiding judge’s words, Prosecutor Sugiura at the prosecutor’s bench also nodded.

Although he didn’t think there was anything surprising about this matter, it was definitely the same as the presiding judge.

The reason is simple. Xiang Yuanguang brought this legal assistant into the courtroom.

Then this legal assistant must be able to speak fluent Japanese, otherwise what is the point of bringing him in?

Isn’t that just making things difficult for yourself?
“…?”

Hattori Heiji was silent for a while and typed a question mark.

When I put a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

The famous Kansai detective put his hand on his hat and turned it sharply.

Without waiting for Genkou to say anything, Hattori Heiji started speaking directly.

“Hey, hey, hey, no way? I’m from this country. How can I look like a foreigner?”

“The pronunciation is also a pure Kansai accent? The Kansai dialect is also a precious dialect of Japanese, right?”

“Do you really recognize people by their skin color? My skin isn’t that dark, is it?”

“Besides, just by looking at my face, you can clearly tell that I am not black, right?”

At this moment, in the Maori Office, Uncle Maori was sitting in his seat as usual.

He crossed his legs, yawned, and flipped through the newspaper in his hand.

Before class, Xiaolan asked him to keep an eye on Conan, saying that Conan would run around.

But now it seems that there is no need to look at it at all, after I ran back and got hit by a punch last time.

He was very honest and kept sitting in his room reading and doing homework. He didn’t look like he would run out.

And Conan certainly couldn’t be really doing his homework——————

It would be impossible for a high school genius like him to be stumped by elementary school homework.

Although the national conditions are different, since it is at the high school level, there will definitely be no problem with simple Chinese and mathematics.

“What the hell… who is the paralegal that Xiang Yuan brought in?”

“It’s neither Nanatsuki Koshimizu nor Ryosuke Arita… Is it someone I don’t know?”

The Death God Elementary School Student muttered, listening to the voice coming from the headphones.

As an all-around high school student from Hawaii, he can do everything except singing.

The person who was speaking in the courtroom now had a Kansai accent.

He doesn’t seem to be from Tokyo. If you have some reasoning skills, it should be easy to find him.

Uncle Maori is reading a newspaper next to his computer, so it is not convenient for him to open an account now. (… Not necessarily, just call the doctor and ask him, it should be easy to find this person.)
(Kansai accent, dark skin, certain reasoning ability…)
In the courtroom, the bald old man smiled awkwardly.

“Ahem, this is really a misunderstanding. I just didn’t recognize the accent at the moment.”

“Now it sounds like a pure Kansai accent, and the facial features are also native to the country.”

“I’m so sorry, I’ll pay more attention next time.”

At least not in court anymore.

Prosecutor Sugiura at the prosecutor’s table also nodded.

I have witnessed the explosive power of people from Kansai. I don’t know which road they are from.

His skin is so dark, it’s probably due to the sun, plus he appears with the extreme lawyer, Beika Town Dragon…

I’m afraid he’s a member of some underworld organization. It’s better not to provoke him.

When both sides had almost stopped, Xiang Yuanguang said something calmly.

“The defense asked the prosecutor to produce the murder weapon used to stab Fujisawa Toshiaki.”

The trial, which had gone off track, was suddenly brought back to life.

Prosecutor Sugiura gently stroked her hair with her fingers.

He nodded, then looked at the presiding judge in the main seat and gave his opinion.

“The prosecutor agrees to the defense’s request and asks the bailiff to collect the evidence from the court on behalf of the prosecutor.”

“In addition, the prosecutor has an identification report on the ice pick and requests that it be submitted as evidence.”

Ice axe identification report?

Although Hattori Heiji asked to show it, Genkou knew very well that this thing was meaningless.

Because there will definitely be no fingerprints of Kento Toba on the ice pick.

Otherwise, that guy is a complete idiot.

The presiding judge nodded and agreed with the prosecutor’s idea.

“Since the prosecutor has requested to submit new evidence, this court has no reason to reject it.”

“Then, this court will accept this evidence and the murder weapon, the ice pick.”

(Exhibit [Identification Report of Ice Axe] has been added to the court record.)
(The murder weapon [the ice pick used to stab Fujisawa] has been added to the court record.)
Crunch——————

The bailiff brought the murder weapon, placed it on the evidence table, and quickly left.

Hattori Heiji also rolled over the table in the defense seat with a swift and decisive move.

He walked to the evidence table in two or three steps, picked up the identification report, and looked at the condition of the ice pick.

(No fingerprints left? Well, that’s to be expected.)
(But if there are no fingerprints on it, there are only three possibilities.)
(One is that the murderer wore gloves, so no fingerprints were left.)
(Second, the murderer left fingerprints but has since removed them.)
(Third, the murderer grabbed the handle of the ice pick indirectly, so no fingerprints were left directly.)
Kansai’s famous detective’s mind began to work.

This type of case is best solved at the crime scene as soon as possible.

It’s been two days now, and they still have to produce the evidence one by one. It’s really difficult to deal with.

He turned his head and looked directly at Inspector Shiratori at the testimony desk and asked subconsciously.

“Officer Shiratori, did you find any gloves at the scene?”

“Or, is there a rag or something near the ice axe?”

Inspector Shiratori was stunned when asked.

Although he had noticed that this guy had been following Xiang Yuanguang before the trial began.

But to be honest, who are you, buddy, and how can you question the criminal officer so confidently?

At least give it a try, after all, you are a legal consultant.
