People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 689: Xiaogongshan Dunzi

Chapter 689: Xiaogongshan Dunzi (Refresh, I modified the chapter)
“What? Autopsy report? How can such a thing be allowed?”

“My husband was a famous actor when he was alive. His face is the most important thing to him. If the autopsy destroys his handsome appearance, he will not be willing to die.”

As the wife of the deceased Yasushi Komiyayama.

Komiyayama Dunzi looked quite sad. As she spoke, she began to morally blackmail Xiang Yuanguang.

“Lawyer Xiang Yuan, you are not the kind of unscrupulous lawyer who would ask the family of the deceased to agree to an autopsy in order to acquit the defendant, right? I believe that as a famous lawyer in Tokyo, you would not do such a thing!”

…I, I wouldn’t do such a thing?
He blinked at Yuan Guang and took a sip of his coffee.

Besides, Taiji Komiyama is already 58 years old and has nothing to do with being handsome.

Such elderly actors are usually talented, not just their looks, but their acting skills. Besides, Taiji Komiyayama is already dead, so there is no point in keeping his face. Besides…

“Besides, Mrs. Komiyama, an autopsy of the deceased does not necessarily involve the face.”

The hedgehog-haired lawyer advised quietly.

“How is that possible? My husband died from a head injury, and the autopsy must check for head injuries.”

“How could it not involve the face then?”

Komiyayama Dunzi looked even sadder.

However, when seeing this scene, Nanatsuki Koshimizu raised her eyebrows slightly.

Well, something was not right, at least she felt it was.

Xiang Yuan might not have paid enough attention to the interior furnishings of the Komiyayama residence.

She only had to take a glance to determine that there was something wrong with the interior furnishings.

Because she only saw women’s daily necessities here, and the decorations on one side were all in line with women’s aesthetics, and there were almost no men’s daily necessities and decorations.

If this place is really where Yasushi Komiyama and Tsutomu Komiyama lived.

Well, considering Yasushi Komiyama’s proud and flamboyant personality, there should be trophies or medals displayed inside the Komiyama house regarding Yasushi Komiyama’s performances.

But there is nothing here.

Either Yasushi Komiyama didn’t live here, or as soon as Yasushi Komiyama died, Dunzi Komiyama would immediately throw away or put somewhere else all of Yasushi Komiyama’s things.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu’s fingers tapped subconsciously on the outer casing of the headphones.

She felt that the relationship between Yasushi Komiyama and Atsuko Komiyama might not be as good as Atsuko Komiyama showed – and it was no wonder.

Middle-aged couples often experience this kind of gradual fading of feelings.

To determine whether the relationship between the two parties has really deteriorated to the point where the woman might kill the man, we need to conduct a targeted investigation into the relationship between Komiyama Taiji and Komiyama Tsuko…

No, Yumiko Arakura had mentioned in her testimony that Yasushi Komiyama had pursued her many times.

This pursuit, which happened more than once, even led to a scandal that was recorded in the investigation files of the Shizuoka police. In other words, at least Yasushi Komiyama’s feelings for Atsuko Komiyama were not that good.

So, under the premise that Yasushi Komiyama does not have deep feelings for Atsuko Komiyama, that he often has affairs outside, and that the couple’s feelings have faded as they enter middle age, does Atsuko Komiyama really still have such deep feelings for Yasushi Komiyama?
Are you so emotional that you don’t want the medical examiner to perform an autopsy on the deceased just because it might damage the appearance of the body?
Nanatsuki Koshimizu thought it was unlikely.

She also believed that the reason why Atsuko Komiyama did not allow the forensic doctor to examine Taiji Komiyama’s body was because Taiji Komiyama had certain issues with the body not being visible to others.

For example, it is very likely that Taiji Komiyama did not actually die from the symptoms of being hit on the back of the head by a heavy object.

Or maybe there is some other thing on Taiji Komiyayama’s body that can prove the real cause of his death, or some information or special props that the murderer didn’t have time to take away…

“In short, if you don’t want the autopsy report, at least let the defense confirm the situation, okay?”

Xiang Yuanguang was still negotiating with Xiaogongshan Dunzi, and there was already a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Because he also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Atsuko Komiya—it was not that he thought of the testimony of Yumiko Arakura that Yasushi Komiya often pursued her.

Instead, Xiang Yuanguang’s intuition as a lawyer told him that there was something fishy about Komiyayama Dunzi.

Maybe the other person is really sad, but the way he expresses his sadness seems a bit fake. If the situation is not inappropriate, directly asking him whether he participated in the murder may result in him being kicked out.

Perhaps, Xiang Yuanguang should ask a direct question now and use the heart lock to determine whether the other party is an accomplice to murder!

“… Yeah, alright…”

It was as if he realized that there was something wrong with his refusal to undergo an autopsy.

After lowering the level of his request to Genmitsu, Komiya Dunzi finally agreed.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then took out her phone and called the Shizuoka police.

“Is that Officer Niino? Lawyer Xiang Yuan just came to see me.”

“He said he wanted to see the specific condition of Taisi’s body… I agreed.”

“Lawyer Xiang Yuan will go to the Shizuoka Prefecture Police Headquarters later. Please accompany Lawyer Xiang Yuan to see Taishi’s body… Sorry for the trouble.”

The Shizuoka police agreed immediately.

However, one could hear a hint of dissatisfaction in the words.

Xiang Yuanguang just pretended not to hear.

After all, it is already past ten o’clock in the evening, and the person in charge of criminal affairs has probably gone home after get off work. At this time, he has to return to the police headquarters to be on duty because of the matter between him and Komiyayama Dunzi.

Well, if Xiang Yuanguang were facing this situation, he would also be very annoyed.

“Well, goodbye, Mrs. Komiyama.”

Xiang Yuanguang stood up, said goodbye to Xiaogongshan Dunzi and left.

However, as soon as they left the Komiyayama family’s residence, he and Koshimizu Nanatsuki said in unison.

“There’s something wrong with Xiaogongshandunzi!”

“How did you tell?”

The lawyer and the legal assistant looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Finally, they got into a taxi and talked about their respective guesses in the taxi.

In Xiang Yuanguang’s opinion, this case is very likely the simplest one he has ever encountered.

But there may be some other secrets hidden behind it that will hinder his investigation of the case.

But in Nanatsuki Koshimizu’s opinion, there may not be any other secrets behind this case.

Just like what Xiang Yuanguang often said in Shikoku.

The answer lies in the riddle.

Perhaps the truth of the case has been revealed from the very beginning.
