"What an irritatingly brilliant man you are," said Lupin. "I bow to your intellect, Sine Sententia!"
"So, it was you who made that terrible imitation of John Phoenix!" said Sullivan.
"Terrible? I daresay it got you all quite good. But alas, it was not perfect. I could not accurately recreate John Phoenix's fingerprints, even with a reference, so I suppose it was, effectively, terrible after all. But that matters little at this point."
Lupin took out a gun and shot one of the people in the gallery in the head! While everyone was screaming, Lupin ran for the window.
"Sententia, you are a formidable opponent and I respect you. But also FUCK YOU!"
Arsene Lupin ran away.
"That fiend has escaped! After him, bailiffs!" shouted Sullivan, only to realize they left the bailiffs at the courthouse. "Er... well, I guess the truth is clear now-"
"OBJECTION!" screamed Donovan through sweat and tears. "MAYBE THE JOHN PHOENIX AT THE HOSPITAL WAS THE CLONE AND THE REAL JOHN PHOENIX KILLED WALKER! O-OH, AND THE FINGERPRINTS DON'T MATCH BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY TOOK THEM FROM THE CLONE, AND-"
"No," said Sullivan. "John Phoenix is NOT GUILTY!"
There was no confetti cause they weren't in court and also this was no time for confetti!
"Storm Sente we must go after Lupin," said John Phoenix.
"You are right, he probably went off to his hideout," said Storm.
"But I say," said Sholmes. "However are we meant to track down this hideout?"
"Perhaps I may be of assistance," said someone.
They turned to the source of the voice and saw it was Ryunosuke Naruhodo and Susato Mikotoba, they were back from Japan!
