"Our captain said that all lawyers are abominable lawyers who can only confuse right and wrong."

"As long as I'm here, none of you guys will be able to get in!"

Sighing and shaking his head, Xiang Yuanguang looked up at the top floor of Shimadzu Corporation.

He guessed that Conan and the others were now on the top floor checking out the crime scene, but unfortunately he couldn't get over there.

At this moment, another criminal police officer next to him looked at Xiang Yuanguang's hair and was startled for a moment.

He walked over here carefully and talked to the detective in a low voice.

"...Xiang Yuanguang?"

The detective who had just flatly refused, now stood up in awe after hearing his teammate's words, and started to ask.

"Yes, I am Xiang Yuanguang."

Xiang Yuanguang turned around and looked at the criminal police.

The two detectives looked at each other, then lifted the cordon and spoke seriously.

"We have heard about your deeds in the Tokyo Tribunal. You can go to the top floor to investigate."

"But please don't disrupt the layout of the top floor, otherwise it will cause inconvenience to the investigation."

The hedgehog-headed lawyer was stunned. He looked at Nanatsuki Koshimizu beside him. Nanatsuki Koshimizu shrugged and said so.

"Don't forget, Honchidai is very close to Tokyo."

Is that so... So does the Honichidai police know about my reversal at the Tokyo Trial?

Nodding to Minamitsu, he took Nakano Souju and Koshimizu Nanatsuki with him.

Under Gu Meimen's shocked eyes, he passed through the blockade and left in the elevator.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! I'm also an ace lawyer, why don't you let me through? Why!?"

"Sorry, our captain said that Kumimon and dogs are not allowed in."

"What!? I want to sue your captain for personally attacking me. Just for this one sentence, I want 500,000 yen!"

Gu Meimen and the detective are still arguing.

Machiko Dai, who was Kumemon's assistant, sighed. She finally understood what was going on.

This is the gap in reputation between human rights lawyers and litigants.

They are both famous lawyers, but they are treated completely differently because of their different reputations.

Chapter 93: The Very Unfriendly Old Detective

—————April 24, 7:25 p.m.—————

—————Shimadzu Real Estate Co., Ltd., top floor corridor——————

"Shirai Police Department..."

"I told you that we don't need you so-called detectives to get involved here!"

Kogoro Mouri narrowed his eyes slightly. To be honest, he was a little angry.

What kind of person is this guy in front of him that he is keeping the famous detective Maori away?

Uncle Maori pointed at the old detective in front of him and said bluntly.

"Inspector Shirai, even if you ignore my identity as a famous detective, please don't forget it."

"I am an important witness in this case and a detective commissioned by Minister Shimazu Zangyuan."

"As the person who called the police and the first eyewitness in this case, don't I have the right to know?"

Detective Honichidai standing nearby was looking at the two people who had started arguing with a headache.

There are no famous detectives in Honchidai, and most cases are solved by the criminal police.

Unlike the detectives in the nearby Tokyo area, Honichidai has its own detectives.

That is, Inspector Shirai who is currently arguing with Kogoro Mori.

Kengo Shirai, formerly of the Josai Police Station's Crime Division, an expert in interrogation with a very high rate of solving cases.

Logically speaking, as a famous detective of the Ikedai Criminal Division, the police officers here should stand firmly on the side of Inspector Shirai.

However, Maori Kogoro is not an unknown guy...

There is a story about a talented sharpshooter student in the Metropolitan Police Academy.

That sharpshooter is Kogoro Mouri, who has now resigned from his position as a criminal police officer.

For this reason, the detectives in Honkedai admire Detective Mori and Inspector Shirai.

Therefore, even though the two had already started arguing, it was about to turn into a fight between police martial arts and judo.

The detectives at Honchitai mainly tried to persuade and mediate the fight, and had no other options.

Of course, thanks to Uncle Maori, Conan finally had the time and opportunity to investigate.

While Xiaolan was still worried about Uncle Maori's situation, the Elementary School Student of Death had already quietly sneaked into the crime scene.

That is, the president's office on the top floor of Shimadzu Real Estate Co., Ltd.

(Hmm… Floor-to-ceiling windows? Why is such a large floor-to-ceiling window installed here? For the lighting?)

The first thing Conan noticed was the circular floor-to-ceiling windows that surrounded the entire office.

Then, he looked at the location where the deceased was - Shimazu Zangyuan.

The Shimadzu president was leaning back in his chair, facing the table diagonally, with a strange posture.

Conan moved carefully to avoid destroying any traces the murderer might have left.

Walking along the wall, even though there was no light on, you could still see the furnishings inside clearly by the moonlight.

Sofa, coffee table, bookshelf, desk, office chair...

"…They are all books about architecture. It looks like no one has flipped through them in a long time."

After taking a quick glance at the books on the bookshelf, Conan turned to the desk.

(Hmm... That's weird, why is it facing diagonally towards the table?)

(It’s still office hours in the afternoon, so I should be facing the desk…)

Conan was thinking quickly. He walked around the desk and came to the dead body.

Shimazu Zangyuan's head was tilted weakly to one side, blood dripping from his head, forming a pool of blood.

"There are dents... Was it a blunt object that caused death by hitting the head? What was the murder weapon?"

Conan looked at the desk while thinking——————

made, it was too low to see anything on top.

But even if he saw it, it would be useless, after all, he had never been to the office of Shimadzu Corporation before, and had no idea what was arranged on the desk.

If he jumps onto the desk, he will leave footprints, and then he might be dragged out of the scene by Uncle Maori.

(There should be documents on the desk that President Shimadzu is reading. I'll ask Xiang Yuan when the time comes.)

(No, the dead man’s posture doesn’t seem right no matter how I look at it… Is there something wrong?)

Finally, Conan walked around to the other side of Shimazu Zangyuan's office chair, touched his chin, and looked at him carefully.

However, if we don't turn on the lights, it would be difficult to determine what is going on just by the moonlight.

Although the moonlight here is very good, it can't really be used as a searchlight.

"…Lawyer? Get out of here! This is not a place for lawyers like you to run rampant!"

"Where's Kurosawa? Where's Matsudaira? Tell the police officers below, who let the lawyer in?"

The noise came from the top corridor outside the office.

Conan blinked and poked his head out of his desk to look out into the corridor.

Inspector Shirai was seen attacking Yuan Guang in the elevator.

"You guys are only disrupting my thinking and hindering my investigation!"

"...?"

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

A tic-tac-toe pattern appeared above Xiang Yuanguang's head and his anger level was rising.

What did the lawyer do to you? Did he eat your rice or send you a lawyer's letter?

Inspector Megure of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department didn't stop me, why would you, a criminal inspector from a small place, stop me?

"I……"

"I recognize you! You are the Inspector Shirai who detained the suspect for a hundred days and forced him to confess in a criminal case! Aren't despicable detectives like you suspended? What qualifications do you have to tell others to get out?"

Before Genmitsu could speak, new lawyer Nakano Sosuke took the lead in attacking.
