He's in Detective Conan, but a Triumph Attorney.

"Ah, that's right. There is no second Study in Scarlet on site."

"And the witnesses present said that this was the first edition of the rare book they saw last year."

The bald old man nodded in sudden realization.

So that's the case, no wonder.

It's impossible that all witnesses with different positions can tell lies in the same tone, right?

Snap. At this moment, someone snapped his fingers.

He reached out to stop Hattori Heiji who was standing next to him, turned Genmitsu's palm over and pointed at Prosecutor Sugiura.

"Prosecutor Sugiura may not have investigated it carefully. There is a difference between the first edition and the first edition collection."

"As a collector's item, this book should have a specially marked box for its placement."

"Otherwise, there is a possibility that it will be forged or counterfeited, and its value will drop significantly."

The hedgehog-haired lawyer slammed his hands on the iron table.

I guess you can guess why the tables here were changed from wood to iron.

Iron products make this kind of noise when you tap them, and he doesn't even dare to imagine what the wooden table would sound like if he tapped it!

"The defense asks the prosecutor to produce the box containing the first edition of the collector's edition!"

"Otherwise, there is no way to prove that this book is the first edition of A Study in Scarlet!"

Hearing this, the presiding judge nodded again.

Although he had previously thought that Prosecutor Sugiura's statement was very convincing.

But on the other hand, Lawyer Xiang Yuan’s words now seem very convincing.

He looked at Prosecutor Sugiura at the prosecutor's table and asked.

"Prosecutor Sugiura, didn't the police find the specially marked box containing this book at the scene?"

"If not, there is a possibility that the book has been replaced or framed."

(…No, which side are you on?)

The corner of Prosecutor Sugiura's mouth twitched slightly.

He shook his head and spoke loudly.

"You can't just say this kind of thing casually. Does the defense say that the first edition of the collector's edition has a box? Does that mean it has a box?"

"The labels of different collector's editions of books are not necessarily on the so-called collection boxes!"

Tokyo's most powerful prosecutor sneered at Yuanguang Xiang in the defense seat.

"If the defense claims that the first edition of A Study in Scarlet was in a specially marked box."

"It should be the defense that presents evidence that proves that, and then it will be the prosecutor's turn to prove it."

"How about it? Can the defense prove that the first edition of A Study in Scarlet has a box?"

"sure."

The hedgehog-haired lawyer took a sip of coffee and spoke slowly.

Prosecutor Sugiura proudly reached out and fiddled with his wig.

he said triumphantly.

"Yeah, I knew the defense had no way to prove... huh? Can you? Can you what?"

Prosecutor Sugiura suddenly realized what was happening and bent down.

Sweat broke out on his forehead and his pupils behind the glasses were filled with shock.

"This, this is impossible. You haven't even been to the crime scene. How can you prove that this book has a box?"

"I can tell you that the defendant's testimony...is not very credible. Don't try to prove it this way!"

pat.

He snapped his fingers again and opened the blue folder that Xiang Yuanguang had brought with him.

He pulled out a page from the inner compartment and held it up.

"Through this piece of evidence, the defense can directly prove the situation of the first edition of A Study in Scarlet."

"Yes, the defense requests to present new evidence————————"

"Evidence [Oki Ayako's autopsy report]!"

At this moment, whether it is Prosecutor Sugiura or Inspector Shiratori at the testimony desk.

They all showed shocked expressions on their faces, and spoke in unison.

"What? This piece of evidence can prove the situation of "A Study in Scarlet"?"

Chapter 377: The referee is a big reversal! (8)

Beads of sweat trickled down from where the wig was covering.

Prosecutor Sugiura, who was sweating profusely, quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

He opened his folder with some panic and searched through it quickly.

(What? Oki Ayako's autopsy report has this function? How come I didn't know about this?)

(Did I really neglect it? That’s impossible, right? I’m also an elite prosecutor!)

Crash----

Watching the prosecutor wearing a wig flipping through his folder in a panic.

Hattori Heiji, who was standing next to Genmizu, looked a little strange.

Don’t prosecutors in Tokyo even remember the contents of the autopsy report of the case?

Are you actually in such a panic at this time to reconfirm whether the situation mentioned by the defense exists?

The famous Kansai detective's gaze drifted and quietly fell on the autopsy report in Xiang Yuanguang's hand.

At the very bottom, there were a few big words written: [Latest Identification Results].

(Uh… the latest identification results? Is this… the updated autopsy report?)

(The defense was able to get an updated autopsy report? That's a real strength.)

However, the situation was even stranger than Hattori Heiji had imagined.

Prosecutor Sugiura's hand that was turning the pages of the book suddenly stopped, and then he raised his head abruptly.

He tore off the page he was reading, held it up and spoke loudly.

"Xiang Yuanguang, stop bluffing! Ooki Ayako's autopsy report didn't mention that at all!"

"This piece of evidence cannot prove the existence of the first edition of A Study in Scarlet!"

Show the evidence [Oki Ayako’s autopsy report]!

The Kansai detective, who had better eyesight, took a quick glance and was then startled.

Because, there were actually no words "latest identification results" in this autopsy report.

What's going on? The prosecutor's autopsy report is even more backward than the defense's?

"Hey, hey, hey, brother Xiang Yuan, your autopsy report is not forged, right?"

"How can a lawyer's autopsy report be more detailed than the official autopsy report?"

Hattori Heiji reminded Genkou quietly.

The presiding judge also nodded after reading the autopsy report submitted by Prosecutor Sugiura.

His opinion was consistent with that of Prosecutor Sugiura, that the autopsy report had nothing to do with "A Study in Scarlet".

The presiding judge sighed, looked at the hedgehog-headed lawyer, and said.

"Now is not the time for you to bluff, is it? If you continue like this, I will punish you!"

However, Xiang Yuanguang just took a sip of coffee and then looked at the presiding judge confidently.

He said it as a matter of course.

"[Oki Ayako's autopsy report] can certainly prove the situation of the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet"."

"The prosecutor's autopsy report could not prove it because the autopsy report he had was outdated."

"The autopsy report I have is an updated autopsy report, so there are relevant records."

Byd, updated autopsy report, right?

Prosecutor Sugiura's face changed and turned red on the spot. He pointed at Xiang Yuanguang and spoke loudly.

"If there were updates in the autopsy report, why didn't the prosecutor know about it?"

"Is the autopsy report in your hand a false testimony you fabricated for the sake of victory?!"
