【Chengyu】Turnabout: Bloodline

By the time the detectives carrying them pulled over the patrol car, the courthouse steps were packed with members of the press.Thanks to the momentary attention given to them by the court spokesman, Wright was able to quickly set up the wheelchair and hug Edgeworth onto it.Wright watched the backs of the reporters' heads, waiting for one of the lucky ones to finally spot them and pop up around them like a pack of gophers.As for Yu Jian, the old god was typing something on the phone—mostly texting Xi Shen.

At least it saves Wright from having to deal with the obsessive argument that he doesn't want Wright to help rather than push the wheelchair himself.

Thankfully, they were undetected and safely rounded the corner of the courthouse.Wright looked down at Edgeworth's long-lost burgundy suit and white scarf, and after so many days of seeing hospital gowns, casual t-shirts, pajamas, and (his personal favourite) nudes, he couldn't help feeling A wonderful sense of dislocation.

Wang Nixi greeted them at the entrance of the barrier-free passage.He thoughtfully opened the door for Yu Jian, who was handicapped, and they entered the hall where legal practitioners gathered together.From this moment on, Yujian put away his phone and began to push the wheelchair by himself—although Cheng Butang wanted to remind him not to be too aggressive, but then he would most likely just flick the fluttering on his chest and completely dismissed it. Take care.Once the man was in the courthouse, he was a complete, total fighter—Wright told himself not to contradict him in a place like this, no matter how alluring he looked.

"Nice to meet again, Mr. Yujian." Wang Nixi seemed to be about to express his sincere respect and praise for Yujian's professionalism, but at this moment, Xiang suddenly put his arm around his shoulder and squeezed him s face.

"Morning, Chief Yujian." The charismatic German prosecutor pulled the bewildered young lawyer to his side, looked at his boss carefully, and suddenly grinned and spat out Big strings of German.

"Please behave yourself, Prosecutor Yaliu." Yu Jian said sternly, "Although this may cause you pain, please don't hook up with Mr. Wang Nixi until the trial is over. I really don't want Putting you in the same position as the former prosecutor Yanai in front of people."

Hearing the sound, Wang Nixi immediately released Wang Nixi as if his tail had been stepped on, and the released hostage blushed and returned to Cheng Butang's side.He flicked his bangs pretending to be relaxed, and nodded in understanding. "Speaking of which, are you really going to ask me to translate that line for Yane? He was crying like a baby while clearing the table. His brother is mad at you too."

"Shameful." Yu Jian replied blankly.

"That... Cheng Butang-san?"

Cheng Butang, who was flipping through the file, looked up at Wang Nixi who was next to him: "What's wrong?"

"Your—your shirt looks like there's blood..."

He looked down at the white shirt under the vest, and found a bloodstain that was slowly growing on the left side of the tie.At this moment, Cheng Butang had to desperately control his gaze, scratching his head and haha, hurriedly responding to the concerned gazes around him.What is unexpected is that Yu Jian on the other side is completely unmoved, maintaining perfect composure.

[This self-righteous bastard, wait and see when we get home tonight. 】

"Ah! It was just an accident while shaving, that's all!"

"On the chest?" Hibiki frowned.

"Maybe you need to tidy up before going to the defendant's lounge, Butang-san." Wang Nixi opened the bag he was carrying, rummaged in it for a while, and then took out a band-aid and a disposable disinfectant wipe. "Here. Shall we wait for you here in the lobby?"

"Uh—" Wright choked, and watched the young men turn and leave without moving until Edgeworth patted his ass lightly with his hand.

"I didn't expect that I...would hurt you so badly." The Chief Prosecutor admitted softly.

"Are you kidding me? This is—uh—the first time I've had an injury like this. I just wish it had a scar." Miles tried to retort, but Wright just smiled brightly and put those The supplies obtained from Wang Nixi put them in his pockets.He quickly grabbed the handle of Edgeworth's wheelchair and pushed him towards the courthouse staff room.There they could have a moment of privacy amidst the hustle and bustle of the courthouse.

Taking off his suit jacket, unbuttoning his tie and nearby shirt, his wounds were finally revealed.The Chief Prosecutor, with his glasses on top of his head and bangs tucked behind his ears, scrutinized his handiwork, but he didn't look too happy.

He looks solemnly through the wound on Wright's chest and sees the tooth marks on his neck - thankfully, they just happen to be hidden under his collar.Wright couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the obvious blush on his cheeks.

"If that makes you feel better—I'm really trying to keep myself from getting an erection—" Edgeworth slapped him on the chest in exasperation, but the flirting didn't seem to bother him at all. A common attack, especially as proof of a good sex session.

"It shouldn't be bleeding, Wright," Edgeworth complained.

"Maybe, but I've always been a bleeder. Do you remember the time we had gym class and I got hit in the face with a dodgeball?"

"You passed out from a constant nosebleed. My father had to take you home because your mother...was unwell."

"Like a dead body on someone's bed from taking drugs, probably." Wright looked up at the ceiling and thought for a moment, Edgeworth trying to stop himself from imagining the kind of image he was describing in his mind. "That's the only time it's just the two of us spending the night together. Usually it's just the three of us, Yahari, right?"

"Because Yahari threw that ball, of course he wasn't invited that time," Edgeworth grunted, turning Wright's face to the side to get a better look at the other wounds. "Thanks to his absence, we had a peaceful night—at least your bleeding stopped."

"That guy stole your lunch money, and smashed my nose with a ball, and I still have a strange little lump here." Cheng Butang reached out and touched the bridge of his nose, "But He's still our friend now. What the hell is going on?"

Edgeworth was silent for a moment, just treated all the wounds with wipes and Band-Aids, then helped him button his shirt and vest, and finally re-fastened his tie. "I don't think it's strange." In the quiet and dim room, his voice was so small that it was almost hard to hear, "Actually, I think... very handsome."

"what?"

[What did he say just now?Yu Jian Lianshi, the handsome guy among the handsome guys, the king of handsome guys, did you just say that my injured nose is very handsome? ! 】

"Your nose," Edgeworth said, knotting Wright's tie into a perfect knot before tucking it into his vest, smoothing out all the creases, "it's...uh..."

[The crown of the iceberg male god is about to fall off!Is this what I did to him?Did I make him stutter and blush like a schoolboy? 】Chengbutang swallowed his saliva, reached out to touch Yu Jian's face, the thin callus on the belly of his thumb caressed the curve of his jaw. 【I can not believe it.Even after we've had sex, he's still thinking about these cute things, and our enthusiasm shows no signs of burning out. 】

"Wright Wright, it's time for us to go to the defendant's lounge."

"I know, give me... a few more seconds..." Cheng Butang didn't want to admit how clingy his voice sounded, like a puppy acting like a spoiled child to its master, especially when Yu Jian gave him a helpless after the eyes.He leaned forward and pressed their lips together tightly.

The kiss felt even better than expected.He felt himself sizzling and melting like butter the moment he touched Edgeworth's hot skin.He involuntarily rose from his chair and deepened the kiss.

He found a fulcrum on Yujian's wheelchair to stabilize his figure, and then wantonly covered the opponent's with his tongue.This time he tasted the peppermint flavor of toothpaste and the faint aroma of Earl Gray tea.How he wanted to rip their clothes off and ride on top of this wheelchair man like they hadn't had sex all day.But he knows that no matter how strong the sexual desire is at this moment, it must give way to justice.

But when Edgeworth turned his head just right to better accept his kiss, he had to quickly pull away under the threat of putting the cart before the horse.He tried to calm his shortness of breath, only to see Miles wipe the saliva from the corners of his mouth and smooth the lapel of Wright's shirt without haste.

"I'm afraid this trial will be my death." He panted to Yu Jian's lips.

"Almost mine too." The chief inspector pushed the wheelchair back a little, giving Wright room to move. "Come on, you still have to find a way to persuade the judge to let Director Harold Crispin testify in court. I have all the documents about him ready."

"Thank you dear."

Edgeworth made a sound of disgust, and pushed the wheelchair out of the room by himself.

"Then let's make a long story short, Lawyer Cheng Butang." The chief referee's voice was full of deep fatigue, and on the other side of the court, the prosecutor Xishen, who had been absent-minded, finally gathered his spirits and turned his sharp gaze Invested in Wright.

"You want me to recant yesterday's judgment that Mr. Harold Crispin, Chief of Internal Medicine, has nothing to do with the case and therefore does not need to testify."

"Yes, Your Honor." Wright sighed, "I think there are many questions he needs to answer himself."

"But yesterday, prosecutor Yane provided conclusive evidence that he cannot appear in court. Doing so will only lead us astray."

"You believe too much in a person who has been disqualified as a prosecutor, chief referee." Xi Shen said in a deep voice, "If the defense wants to invite that director to testify in court, I have no objection."

"Uh... if it takes us beyond digging up the details of the victim's private life, then I'd be more than happy to grant that request." As the gavel fell, the judge ordered the bailiffs to remove the hapless man from the hospital a few blocks away. Bring it over, and announce the adjournment for 20 minutes to wait for the witnesses to arrive.

Wright glanced at his watch.

"The trial started less than 5 minutes ago, and we adjourned," Wang Nixi murmured while sifting through the documents beside him, "I really want to expose all the plots of that bastard right away. Kill and It's one thing to have a woman who's having an affair with herself, but quite another to try to murder a hospitalized Attorney Edgeworth."

"Wait until you hear why he killed Yu Jian, son." Wright replied lazily, leaning on the sofa.Wang Nixi stopped arranging the files, raised his head and looked at his boss with puzzled eyes.

"Is there anything you haven't told me, Butler-san?" he asked.

"Well...to be honest, it's hard to explain. If you don't mind, I'd rather just explain it once."

"I mind."

"It's too bad." Wright sighed deeply and put his hands on Wang Nixi's shoulders, "I know it's not easy, especially considering how unstable our initial partnership was, but You've got to trust me today. You'll see why when Edgeworth testifies."

"Okay... well, Butang-san." The little defense lawyer nodded hesitantly, "But if the motive for this attempted murder is so unbelievable, then you'd better prepare conclusive evidence to prove it A little, because I can't find it in these documents at all." He pointed to the file in front of him.

"I have evidence." Wright glanced at Edgeworth who was sitting behind the prosecutor's desk across the hallway, the man's white fingers elegantly holding a pen on a leather notebook. "Mayao is on the way here with Chunmei and a lot of paper evidence, which can prove Dr. Crispin's motive for killing Yujian. If I can prove that he attempted murder, then charge him with real murder Sin would be so much easier."

Wang Nixi still looked a little hesitant, but he still showed a bright smile to Butang, and returned to the preparations for the court opening.
