Midori Kuriyama opened the bag and took out a clock that was exactly the same as the one on the bookshelf in the president's office, as well as a flashlight.

When he saw the clock, You Mayanyan felt something was wrong and his heart started beating fast.

Beichuan Taki made a shocking statement: "In fact, what they saw that night was not the murderer, but this clock!"

The audience immediately began to whisper.

"Silence!" The judge maintained order in the courtroom and then said, "Defense attorney, please continue."

Kitagawa Taki picked up the clock and said, "Prosecutor Kujo, Mr. Arima, you should know what this is, right?"

Reiko Kujo's face twitched slightly. Just cross-examine the witness, why ask her?

Arima Masahiko said stubbornly, "This is the clock on the bookshelf in President Otsu's office. He won it as a prize in a golf tournament and uses it for decoration."

"Yes, this is the same model clock." Beichuan Taki said, "Chief Judge, could you please turn off the lights? Next, I will demonstrate the shadows that the two witnesses saw that night."

Reiko Kujo looked at the flashlight on the table and figured out the connection.

At the judge's signal, the bailiff turned off the lights.

Kitagawa Taki picked up the flashlight and pointed it at the little man on the clock.

The shadow of a person striking a bell with something was cast on the wall.

Kitagawa Taki said, "As long as we block part of the clock, Mr. Akiyama will be able to see it."

The court was in an uproar.

"Silence!" The judge had to strike the gavel again.

Beichuan Taki said: "You can turn on the lights now."

Arima Yayan's expression had changed subtly, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "What do you want to say, Mr. Kitagawa?"

Kitagawa Taki glanced at Arima Masahiko and said, "Witness, please don't ask any questions. Just answer my questions."

"From what I know, Mr. Arima wasn't financially well-off before, but after your father-in-law was murdered, he suddenly became wealthy."

Then he asked, "Mr. Arima, I'd like to ask, how did you suddenly pay off the 5 million yuan debt? And what about your sudden lavish spending?"

Arima Masahiko opened his restaurant with the help of his father-in-law, but it didn't do well and he was in debt. He couldn't pay it off on his own, let alone the lavish spending.

Arima Yayan panicked, gritted his teeth, and said to the judge: "Judge, the defense attorney's question has nothing to do with this case!"

Before the judge could say anything, Beichuan Taki sneered, "How could the missing 1200 million be unrelated to this case?"

Arima Masahiko glared at Kitagawa Taki with hatred and shouted at Kujo Reiko, "Prosecutor, you called me here as a witness, but now you're treating me like a criminal!"

Kujo Reiko naturally saw the situation clearly, but in her opinion, the outcome of the lawsuit was far less important than the truth.

Naturally, she would not speak for Arima Masahiko.

Kitagawa Taki continued, "Arima Yayan, your spending records can be easily checked, including the five million you used to pay off your debts. We can also recover them. We can check the fingerprints on them when the time comes... I don't need to explain more, right?"

Arima Yayan's expression changed for a while, and finally he lowered his head. "This is all my father-in-law's fault. He's too greedy and said he wanted to kick me out of the restaurant..."

"Mr. Beichuan is right, I killed my father-in-law." He admitted his crime in court.

Seeing this, Inoue Takashi smiled and turned around to express his gratitude to Kitagawa Taki and the other two.

Kujo Reiko stood up and said, "Chief Judge, the prosecutor has decided to drop the robbery and murder case against Inoue Takashi and charge him with attempted robbery. At the same time, they will proceed with the prosecution of Arima Masahiko for intentional homicide."

Kitagawa Taki glanced sideways. Although this woman had a desire to win, she lost very readily.

The judge nodded and looked at Eri Kisaki: "Defense attorney, do you have any objections?"

Kisaki Eri said, "No."

Since then, the trial of the case has come to a temporary end.

……

"Mr. Beichuan, your reputation is well-deserved. I am convinced."

Although she felt that Kitagawa Taki was not a serious person, Kujo Reiko recognized his abilities.

Passing by Eri Kisaki, she stopped and said, "Lawyer Kisaki, I look forward to meeting you in court next time."

Kisaki Eri just smiled.

After saying that, Kujo Reiko left with her assistant.

Kuriyama Midori said excitedly, "Mr. Kitagawa was so cool in court today that he made Arima Yayan plead guilty!"

Seeing Kuriyama Midori's excitement, Kisaki Eri poured cold water on him: "Kuriyama, don't learn from Kitagawa. Kitagawa... is too unruly in court."

Midori Kuriyama would never be like this before. She didn't want to see Midori Kuriyama fall in love with Kitagawa Taki.

"Oh..." Kuriyama Midori hung her head.

While Kisaki Eri wasn't paying attention, Kitagawa Taki secretly pinched Kuriyama Midori's hand and winked at her, telling her not to mind it.

Kuriyama Midori suddenly retracted her hand, her heart pounding, afraid that Kisaki Eri would see it.

What is Mr. Kitagawa doing? This is in front of the teacher!

What if the teacher sees it?

And Mr. Kitagawa is Xiaolan’s boyfriend!

Kuriyama Midori suppressed the throbbing in her heart.

In her mind, the image of Kitagawa Taki was actually quite positive. She was drunk that night, and she didn't see Kitagawa Taki do anything to her.

Hibiki Eri didn't notice the two's little movements and said, "Thanks to Kitagawa this time, otherwise Mr. Inoue would probably have been wrongly accused."

Kitagawa Taki smiled and thought that whether Inoue Takashi was wronged or not had nothing to do with him. It was nice to be able to meet Kujo Reiko this time and deepen the impression in Kuriyama Midori's heart.

……

night.

Kitagawa Taki asked Kuriyama Midori out again.

After picking up Kuriyama Midori who was off work, Kitagawa Taki asked, "Midori, what do you want to eat today?"

"I, I..." Kuriyama Midori stammered, gritted her teeth, and finally said what was in her heart: "Mr. Kitagawa, we can be good friends!"

"A-Lu, what you said really hurts me." Beichuan Taki shook his head, sighed, and said, "I thought we were friends for a long time."

"No, no!" Kuriyama Midori quickly waved her hands and explained, "I want to say, Mr. Kitagawa... you are Xiaolan's boyfriend, I can't be with you..."

As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller.

The "honest man" Beichuan Taki said righteously: "Alu, who do you take me for?"

Then he smiled and said, "Besides, we were just having a meal together. We weren't beyond the boundaries of friends at all. Of course, shaking hands doesn't count."

As he said that, he took Kuriyama Midori's little hand. Kuriyama Midori's hands were very plain and had no manicures.

Kuriyama Midori felt the warmth in his hand, her pretty face turned slightly red, and she was convinced by Kitagawa Taki in her heart, so she nodded.
