Shi-Long Lang, a descendant of Lang Zi.

Miles Edgeworth
I guess Lang Zi had a lot to say in life, and on a lot of mundane topics as well...

Lang Zi (c. 2000 BCE) was a philosopher from Zheng Fa who is known for his "philosophy of detainment". His teachings mainly revolve around catching criminals in a militaristic fashion. The Interpol agent Shi-Long Lang is a descendant of Lang Zi.
