Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

After a moment of thought, Hibiki asked, "So, he brought Mr. Akiyama in to provide an alibi for him? But how did he do it?"

Kuriyama Midori was also very curious and stared at Kitagawa Taki, hoping that he could give her an answer.

Beichuan Taki asked in return: "I wonder if you have seen the clock on the bookshelf?"

The two of them understood immediately. Kuriyama Midori covered her mouth and exclaimed, "So that's how it is! As long as I put the pendulum in the right position, I can create the shadow that Mr. Akiyama saw."

Kisaki Eri asked again, "What about that noise?"

Kuriyama Midori guessed, "Could it be a tape recorder?"

Kisaki Eri shook her head. "It's difficult to control the timing of a tape recorder accurately."

The two women looked at Kitagawa Taki at the same time.

Kitagawa Takimichi: "I noticed the desk in the president's office had been moved, so Arima Masahiko must have used it to make the noise.

Place a spherical object under the table, then put a string through it, pull the string out through the crack in the door, and when Mr. Akiyama is looking inside and not paying attention, just pull it out with force."

"I see." Feiying thought about the feasibility of this method and said, "Now all we need is conclusive evidence."

She pondered for a moment and said, "The money disappeared without a trace. It must have gone into his pocket. If we investigate, we'll probably find out soon."

Beichuan Taki snapped his fingers: "You think the same as me."

He called Uehara Yui and asked her to check Arima Masahiko's financial situation.

Kuriyama Midori sighed: "But we are not qualified to investigate..."

Hibiki Eri said: "We can only contact the police first and then deal with it."

"No need, I'm already checking." Kitagawa Taki waved his hand.

Just because Maya Yayan didn't even deal with the clock, he didn't believe that Maya Yayan could handle the money and not find out.

Beichuan Taki smiled and said, "We just need to wait for the court to open. Prosecutor Jiujo gave us a bad message today, so we will return the favor next time."

Kisaki Eri smiled and shook her head. Kitagawa Taki was a bad guy, a bad guy.

"In that case, then Kitagawa, you can be the special defense attorney."

A special defense counsel is a legal representative with formal qualifications. Even if the defendant is not a lawyer, he or she can serve as the defendant's defense counsel as long as the defendant applies for and obtains permission.

"Teacher, this is a good suggestion!" Kuriyama Midori applauded.

"Okay." Kitagawa Taki naturally wouldn't be stage-frightened.

……

Tokyo District Court.

Kitagawa Taki and the other two met Kujo Reiko in the first-floor lobby.

"I heard that Attorney Fei applied to the court for Mr. Kitagawa to appear as a special counsel?"

Reiko Kujo looked at Taki Kitagawa. She had seen him in the audience last time.

However, in her opinion, the advantage still lies with the prosecution.

"Hello, Miss Kujo!" Kitagawa Taki smiled and extended his hand.

Reiko Kujo extended her hand and shook hands with Taki Kitagawa.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "I look forward to Mr. Beichuan's performance in court."

"I won't let you down." Kitagawa Taki smiled meaningfully.

Reiko Kujo was wearing a grey women's suit today, which perfectly outlined her figure. The trousers of the same colour were straight and just above her ankles, revealing a small section of her fair skin. With a pair of black high heels, she looked even taller.

After a few greetings, the two teams entered the courtroom separately.

Reiko Kujo sorted out the information in her hand, recalling Kitagawa Taki's smile just now, and wondering if the defense had any new clues.

She looked up at Kitagawa Taki opposite her. He was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, and didn't seem to take the trial seriously.

"stand up!"

The judge enters.

The second public trial officially began.

The first witness to appear in court was Takuya Akiyama.

Kujo Reiko was the first to ask, "Mr. Akiyama, you saw the murderer beating the victim several times through the small hole in the president's office door that night, right?"

"Yes." Takuya Akiyama nodded.

She continued to ask: "How many times did the murderer hit me?"

Akiyama Takuya said: "I saw it three times that day."

Kujo Reiko: "Then, you heard the victim fall to the ground, right?"

Akiyama Takuya nodded slightly: "Yes."

Kujo Reiko looked at the judge: "I have no questions."

The judge said, "Now, please allow the defense attorney to conduct cross-examination."

"Yes!" Hibiki responded, stood up, and asked Akiyama Takuya, "Mr. Akiyama, did you see Inoue Takashi hit President Otsu with an ashtray that night?"

Akiyama Takuya answered truthfully: "No, I just saw a shadow on the wall."

"Then are you sure that the shadow is the defendant sitting here?" Kisaki Eri pointed at Inoue Takashi.

Akiyama Takuya shook his head: "I don't know, all I saw that day was a shadow."

Kisaki Eri said, "So you can't be sure that the person who hit you is the defendant, right?"

Akiyama Takuya said: "Yes."

Reiko Kujo looked at the calm Kitagawa Taki. In her opinion, it made no difference, as the defendant Inoue Takashi had admitted that he hit Otsu Toshiyuki with an ashtray.

If this is the defense's approach, then this debate could have ended early.

Kitagawa Taki noticed Kujo Reiko's gaze, he smiled and raised his hand to greet Kujo Reiko.

Kujo Reiko was stunned.

Kitagawa Taki was wearing a formal black suit today, and coupled with his reputation outside, Kujo Reiko thought he was a serious person.

However, she didn't expect that Kitagawa Taki would do these little tricks in court, which made her somewhat speechless.

So, she completely ignored Kitagawa Taki and looked away.

"I've finished asking questions." Kisaki Eri said to the judge.

Kujo Reiko stood up and said, "We request that Mr. Arima Masahiko be allowed to testify in court!"

So, Maya Yayan appeared in court.

Kujo Reiko asked, "Mr. Arima, on the night of the incident, you and Mr. Akiyama went to the president's office together. After hearing the victim fall to the ground, you pushed the door open with your body and rushed in, right?"

Arima Masahiko said, "Yes, but by then the murderer had already escaped through the window, and my father... no, President Otsu had also fallen to the ground."

Kujo Reiko continued to ask: "What was the situation with the safe at that time?"

Arima Masahiko replied: "The safe has been opened."

Kujo Reiko: "I've finished asking questions."

The judge said: "The defense attorney, please cross-examine!"

Kitagawa Taki stood up and looked at Arima Masahiko with a smile.

Arima Masahiko swallowed his saliva. He had a feeling that Kitagawa Taki was smiling but had a dagger hidden behind his smile.

Kitagawa Taki asked, "Mr. Arima, did you see Inoue Takashi that night?"

Arima Yayan said: "No, I only saw someone inside."

"Is it like this?"

Kitagawa Taki turned to look at Kuriyama Midori, who smiled sweetly and put a big bag she brought on the table.
