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

Ayumi's words were like a white needle piercing through Kogoro Mori's brain. Suddenly, a clear light flashed in Uncle Mori's eyes. He understood. He knew how to find Yazaki Yasuji's trace in the cafeteria.

The time for parent-teacher meetings is different for classes of different grades. Today, only the first-grade students are attending the meeting, and parents will attend the meetings for most students.

"Yes, you are absolutely right! That kid's parents did not attend the parents' meeting, which means that he came to the cafeteria window to buy lunch alone! The other students were accompanied by their fathers or mothers to buy lunch!"

"In other words, we only need to go to each window and ask if there are any students who come to buy lunch alone, and then ask for the specific situation, and we will know whether Yazaki Yasuji has bought lunch in the cafeteria!"

Kogoro Mouri clapped his hands and immediately came up with the answer. Without thinking too much, he immediately called the members of the Junior Detective League and ran to find the staff of the Teitan Elementary School cafeteria to inquire about relevant matters.

Hard work pays off. The cafeteria staff really had an impression of Yazaki Yasushi who came to the cafeteria alone to eat. He thought about it, and then carefully told Maori Kogoro what he knew——————

"That child came to the cafeteria to eat alone. He looked very pitiful. When he bought his lunch, he took out a 1,000 yen bill from his envelope to pay for it. I saw there were about ten bills in the envelope."

"Anyway, I reminded him not to carry so much yen around when he went to school in Beika Town. He nodded shyly, and I gave him 700 yen in change. He put it in the pocket of his school uniform and ate his meal on the side."

"After the child finished his meal and returned the plate, he left the cafeteria. I didn't see him again... You guys came here with so many people to ask about him. Could it be that something happened to the child?"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro scratched the back of his head, laughed dryly twice, and then said, "No, no, it's just that a thousand yen bill is missing from his envelope, so we went to the places he went to look for it and see if it fell somewhere."

The staff member thought about it, finally opened the drawer, rummaged through it, then took out a thousand yen bill and handed it to Kogoro Mouri, and said seriously.

"This is the 1,000 yen bill that the child used to buy lunch. It looks very new and I remember it very clearly. If you really can't find it, give this bill to the child."

"It's only a thousand yen anyway, and I happened to have some change with me, so I can just make up for it."

Maori Kogoro's expression suddenly became serious. How could this be allowed? Although he didn't have much money with him, he couldn't let kind people spend money in such a situation. Therefore, it would be better for him to pay for it himself.

Uncle Maori took out his wallet, pulled out a 1,000 yen bill from it and handed it to the staff member. He then took away Yazaki Yasuji's brand new 1,000 yen bill and accepted it as evidence of the class referee.

However, Uncle Maori looked at the 1,000 yen he got back and felt that something was not right. He seemed to have overlooked something that was particularly important to this emergency, but he couldn't remember it for a while...

"Uncle Maori! We found new information!"

At this moment, the members of the Young Detective Team ran over shouting and screaming. Kogoro Mouri came to his senses, put the brand new 1,000 yen in his pocket, and decided not to think about what he couldn't remember. Everything would work out when the time comes.

However, before the members of the Junior Detective League could speak, Maori Kogoro's cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was a text message from Kobayashi Sumiko. The content on it was only one -

[The investigation phase has concluded. Mr. Maori, please return to the classroom to begin the class refereeing.]

"…What? At this time?"

Uncle Maori muttered as he showed the information on the phone to the other members of the Junior Detective Team. The kids immediately lost the excitement they had during the investigation, and they were no longer in the mood to talk about what they had just discovered.

As they walked towards the classroom together, they also saw students and parents who had returned from outside the school. Those students seemed to have gained something special, and one could see the proud expressions on their faces.

Xiang Yuanguang, who was standing on the rooftop, also put down his phone. He yawned, then put his hands in the pockets of his blue coat and walked downstairs.

The investigation phase is over. Let's see what new things the Junior Detective Team and Uncle Mouri can come up with.

This time, the school refereeing should be over very quickly.

Chapter 502: Class Referee Begins

—————June 7, 1:30 p.m.——————

—————Teitan Elementary School, Class Judges Meeting——————

The class trial was about to begin, but the Junior Detective Team, who had been excited, was now a little hesitant, because based on the information they had received so far, they were still not sure where Yazaki Yasuji's money had disappeared.

In this case, it is still unknown whether Haibara Ai is the "murderer" who stole the money. Although this is only a class referee, the Junior Detective Team, as "lawyers", has the obligation to prove the client's innocence.

"In court, whether the defendant is guilty or not depends on the performance of the lawyer."

Xiang Yuanguang stood at the defense table, tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers, and spoke seriously.

"Mitsuhiko, Genta, Ayumi, this may be just a game, but it's no joke."

"As lawyers, you must firmly believe in your clients and the defendant's innocence. Under this premise, any evidence or testimony that contradicts the facts you have deduced is wrong."

"As for false testimony and evidence, you need to rely on your own logic and reasoning to find out where they are wrong, and use your words as bullets to shatter those false testimonies and evidence."

The faces of the members of the Junior Detective Team all became serious, but since Xiang Yuanguang was willing to assist them as a paralegal, the school referee should be a sure winner this time————-

Then, Xiang Yuanguang silently took a step back and protected the members of the Junior Detective League in front of him.

"Ah? Uncle Xiang Yuan, why is this?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was shocked, but the blue hedgehog responded calmly.

"This is your stage! Go ahead, Junior Detective Team, and let the God of Death see your wisdom and bravery!"

At this moment, [Death] pushed his plain glasses and looked at his hedgehog friend with an unfriendly look. He really had an urge to use an anesthetic needle on this guy, but it was not a good idea to do so in public.

Kobayashi Sumiko noticed the situation at the defense table and felt a little amused and helpless about the farce between Mukai Genmitsu and the Junior Detective Team, but she still knocked on the podium and spoke seriously.

"Alright, I declare the class refereeing. Please allow the prosecutor to explain the circumstances of this incident!"

As the prosecutor, Conan opened the [Court Record] in his hand - this was a notebook kindly provided by the teacher. Because this was a parent-teacher meeting, Conan and Uncle Maori came empty-handed.

"Okay, presiding judge. The reason the class judge initiated this case is that Yazaki Yasuji lost 1,000 yen in living expenses, and the person who could have received Yazaki's living expenses at the time was the defendant in this case, Haibara Ai."

"Since the only students in the classroom during lunch break were Ai Haibara and Yazaki Yashiji, after excluding the possibility that Yazaki miscounted the money, Haibara is most likely to have received the lost 1,000 yen, so... therefore, we are suing."

Conan pretended to read, and as he read, his expression became a little strained. As expected, an elementary school student is just an elementary school student. He can't even make up a story about losing money. If he were in charge, the case would definitely not be one that could be solved at a glance.

Hearing this, Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers, but the Junior Detective Team did not react. Instead, they turned around and looked at the blue hedgehog in confusion. Seeing this, the hedgehog sighed and shook his head.

I can’t carry it, I can’t carry it. At this time, you should slam the table and shout your objection. Boom!

I saw someone slapping the desk. The wooden table top and the hollow drawer made a loud noise even for an elementary school student, so much so that everyone's attention was attracted at the first moment.

"Objection! It's true that Yazaki-san and I were the only ones in the classroom during lunch break. However, if Yazaki-san had been in the classroom the whole time, he would have noticed my movement, so I wouldn't have been able to get 1,000 yen!"

"Because, Yazaki-san didn't say that I was the one who took the 1,000 yen————such a clear accusation, right? This means that he didn't witness the scene with his own eyes, so there is no evidence to prove that I took the 1,000 yen, so the prosecutor's accusation is actually meaningless!"

At this moment, Haibara Ai slammed the table and expressed her opinion as a defendant, which immediately made the members of the Junior Detective League react. Yes, they are lawyers, and sometimes they have to raise objections.

This isn't the Detective Boys' daily reasoning activity, and Conan can't just keep talking. They also have to express their own opinions, otherwise, won't Haibara be wronged?

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya reacted and immediately imitated Haibara Ai and slapped the table, but because he subconsciously restrained his strength, no sound was made. He subconsciously turned his head to look at his hand, then raised his head and said.

"Yes, that's right! The defense agrees with what Huibara-san said! If Yazaki-san stays in the classroom, then if Huibara-san wants to take the 1,000 yen, she can only do so in front of Yazaki-san!"

"So, Yazaki-san must have seen Huibara-san taking away the 1,000 yen. Then, the other students and parents who heard Yazaki-san crying and came over must have seen the 1,000 yen in Huibara-san's hand..."

"But no one saw Huibara-san with 1,000 yen in his hand. Therefore, the prosecutor's claim is invalid. There is no evidence to prove that Huibara-san took 1,000 yen!"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's sudden remarks surprised Genta who was standing next to him, but Genta Kojima, who claimed to be the captain of the Junior Detective Team, reacted immediately. He also slammed the table, and this time the sound was louder than Haibara Ai's.

"That's right, that's it! Conan, if this goes on, you won't be able to refute it!"

The parents were standing outside the classroom watching the class referees. Seeing this, they couldn't help but nod their heads repeatedly. They felt that the class referees' rehearsal for this mock trial was quite formal. However, they didn't understand why both the defense and the defendant slammed the table when refuting the prosecution.

Seriously, no one really thinks that whoever slams the table louder and more loudly in a courtroom will make more sense and be more convincing, right? No way? No one really thinks that, right?

When Kogoro Mori thought of what Genmitsu had done, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

It has to be said that Attorney Xiang Yuan, who is known as a rising star in the Tokyo legal world, even called an ace lawyer by some gossipers, and whose strength is second only to Eri, may really think so.

"No way to refute? That's not necessarily true, Yuantai, the plaintiff hasn't spoken yet!"

Conan pushed up his plain glasses, and a white light flashed through the lenses. The majesty of the god of death instantly frightened several members of the Junior Detective League and they took a step back.

Because they feel that the current Conan seems to have become more special and more dangerous than when they were together normally. Could it be that the current Conan is his heyday?

Whitening is three points weaker, blackening is twice as strong? !

"Your Honor, the prosecutor now asks the plaintiff to testify on this incident."

Chapter 503 Scenario Assumptions

“Oh, oh, oh… Then, please let Yazaki-san give his testimony…”

Taiwan Novel Network →?????.???

The presiding judge, the class teacher Sumiko Kobayashi, blinked her eyes. She was a little surprised by Conan's performance. The performance of the Junior Detective Team was also beyond her expectations. Therefore, she was a little shocked at this time and couldn't come back to her senses.

I have to say, when both sides were fully into the game, the classroom where the grade referee was conducting the competition really looked like a court in Tokyo. The atmosphere became a little serious, and even she seemed a bit like the real presiding judge.

(If you knew what a real judge is like, you wouldn't think so.)

Xiang Yuanguang secretly complained in his heart. Although he didn't know what Kobayashi Sumiko was thinking, as a reversal protagonist whose mind was often read, he had some experience in this aspect after being read so many times, and could guess a thing or two.

Yazaki Yasushi in the plaintiff's seat raised his head in confusion and looked around. For some reason, Haibara Ai, who seemed to be indifferent, now became serious and confronted Conan in the prosecutor's seat.

Even the Young Detectives, who originally looked as confused as he was, seemed to be getting into the mood, but he was still a little puzzled. What was going on with this atmosphere where only he was failing?

Shaking his head, Yazaki Yashiro tried hard to be serious and said seriously.

"I left the classroom for a short time during lunch break to go to the bathroom. When I came back, I saw Huiyuan-san walking in the classroom. Then I opened the envelope containing the living expenses and saw that there was a 1,000 yen note missing!"

"According to Conan's idea, I will now present the envelope containing the living expenses as evidence!"

Present——————the evidence [the envelope containing living expenses].

There were eight Natsume Soseki (1,000 yen portrait) notes in the envelope. Yazaki Yasushi claimed that there were a total of nine 1,000 yen notes in the envelope when he left, but now there are only eight 1,000 yen notes left.

Hearing this, Xiang Yuanguang subconsciously tapped his forehead. He felt that something was wrong with this piece of evidence. There shouldn't have been nine thousand yen bills in the envelope...

(Hmm, did Conan ask him to change his story? What's his purpose? To present all the evidence collected by the students as evidence, to make this incident more like the class referee rehearsal that Mr. Kobayashi mentioned?)
