"Normal." Bai Quanyi smiled slightly. He was also involved in this kind of thing, but he didn't feel the strange atmosphere.
"Bai Jun, do you think Mom will win?"
"Yes, your mother is an undefeated lawyer. She will definitely win."
"That's good." Mao Lilan felt the confidence that Shiraizumi Masu gave her.
"Gu..." Mao Lilan's ears twitched, and she subconsciously looked towards her heart. Suddenly, she was shocked and embarrassed.
"Ah?" Fortunately, Mao Lilan knew that this was a court and did not shout out loud, otherwise everyone's attention would be diverted here.
"Bai Jun, I'll massage you again when we get back, okay..."
"Xiaolan, don't get me wrong. I saw that you were very nervous and your heart was beating fast, so I just wanted to comfort you."
"Oh, thank you then."
Xiaolan easily believed Bai Quanyi's lies. Under Bai Quanyi's clever tricks, Xiaolan really felt a lot more relaxed.
Shiraizumi Masu did it on purpose for Edogawa Conan to see. Conan, who was sitting on the other side of Mouri Ran, quickly noticed Shiraizumi Masu's little action.
"You bastard." Edogawa Conan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to act recklessly in the court, otherwise he would be asked to leave, and then it would be a waste of time.
"Conan, your sister Xiaolan is in my hands." Shiraizumi Mashi looked at Edogawa Conan meaningfully, as if to tell Edogawa Conan not to have any delusions about Xiaolan.
Whether it is Edogawa Conan’s childhood sweetheart or Edogawa Conan’s mother, they all belong to Shiraizumi Mashi now and have nothing to do with Edogawa Conan.
"Bai Quanyi, you don't keep your promise! You said that you would give up Xiaolan after getting my mother. You are a huge liar."
Conan Edogawa was gritting his teeth in hatred. In the past, Shirazumi Masu would put in some acting so that Conan Edogawa would not interfere with him. But now that Yukiko and Xiaolan both like Shirazumi Masu, it is a foregone conclusion. Shirazumi Masu is too lazy to even act and deliberately uses his actions to tell Conan Edogawa this fact.
Edogawa Conan can't do anything except being angry. He feels so helpless.
The scene changed, and the presiding judge in the courtroom spoke again, "Next is the cross-examination of the witness."
"Presiding Judge." Suddenly, Kujo Reiko spoke.
"What's wrong? Prosecutor?" The presiding judge looked at Kujo Reiko in confusion.
Kujo Reiko, who was still sitting in her chair, put down her hands, stood up, and said seriously, "The prosecutor requests the summons of a new witness."
"Huh?" Everyone was startled.
Kujo Reiko turned to look at Hime Eri, sneered, and said, "The man who runs a detective agency and is famous for the Sleeping Kogoro—Mr. Maori Kogoro."
Suddenly, the courtroom became lively and the audience in the audience began to talk.
"Teacher, what's going on?" Kuriyama Midori hurriedly looked at Hime Eri.
"I don't know either." Hime Eri answered indifferently. Her fate with Mouri Kogoro was over, so it was not surprising that Mouri Kogoro did this.
"Alas... Dad has become a witness for the prosecution." Mao Lilan had been mentally prepared for this, as her father was a party to the case.
"So that's how it is!" Shiraizumi Mashi already knew why Kujo Reiko appeared at the Meisho Hotel that night.
"Silence, silence." The presiding judge frowned as he looked at the chaotic scene below the court. He picked up the gavel, knocked it a few times, and spoke a few words in a very majestic voice.
It was originally noisy, but suddenly became extremely quiet.
The presiding judge then looked at Hime Eri and said, "Does the defense have any comments?"
Kisaki Eiri's expression remained unchanged as she stood up and said calmly, "No objection."
"Hmph...Hiki Eri's title of 'undefeated queen' will end today. I, Kujo Reiko, will definitely slap the faces of you bad lawyers who are obstructing public service!" Kujo Reiko looked at the frustrated Kisaki Eri with pride.
Kisaki Eri also returned a look to Kujo Reiko, and the two women with queen-like personalities started to argue.
The presiding judge said, "Okay, let's call the witness, Maori Kogoro, to appear in court now."
In the center of the court, Kogoro Mouri sat upright.
As Kogoro Mouri is the witness found by Reiko Kujo, it is her responsibility to come forward.
She stepped on the floor with lotus steps, and her high heels made a clicking sound. She asked calmly, "Mr. Maori Kogoro, where were you on the night of the incident? What were you doing?"
Kogoro Mouri raised his head and looked at the beautiful Reiko Kujo approaching. He couldn't help but reveal a pig-like expression, and was immediately disliked by Reiko Kujo.
When Kogoro Mouri is serious, he looks a little handsome, but once his expression is revealed, he becomes a creepy old man.
Maori Kogoro also noticed that he had lost his composure, so he restrained his obscene thoughts and said righteously: "I was drinking at a restaurant called Bimasu in Haido Town."
"He must have gotten drunk and taken a nap in the middle!" Although Kujo Reiko asked, her tone was very certain.
"Yes." Kogoro Mouri nodded.
"What time did you wake up? Do you remember?"
Maori Kogoro frowned, glanced at Kujo Reiko, and said, "Nine twenty-five."
"It seems that Yingli has really met her match this time."
Let's look forward to the showdown between Shiraizumi Masu, Kisaki Eri and Kujo Reiko.
The corners of Kujo Reiko's mouth curled up, and she glanced at Hime Eri with pride. Then she turned to look at Maori Kogoro and asked, "How did you know it was this time?"
"When I was asleep, someone called my cell phone and I was woken up by the boss's wife. The time on the phone showed 9:25," Kogoro Mouri said truthfully.
"So were there any other customers in the store at the time?"
"I was alone. However, because the signal in the store was bad, when I went out to answer the phone, I ran into a man."
Kujo Reiko paused, glanced at Usami Shinji, and said, "So, do you still remember what that person looks like now?"
"Of course, it's the defendant Usami Shinji." Kogoro Mouri nodded, then looked at the depressed Usami Shinji on the side of Kisaki Eri.
Everyone was shocked. He was clearly a witness invited by the prosecution, so why would he speak for the defense?
"What..." The jury in the court started shouting again.
"Teacher, what's going on? Why, Detective Mori..." Kuriyama Midori asked in confusion.
"I don't know." Kisaki Eri shook her head coldly, her expression not relaxing at all.
"What is her purpose?" Looking at Kujo Reiko who still looked confident, Hime Eri thought to herself that this woman must have a backup plan.
"Although he is appearing in court as a witness for the prosecution, Dad is still on Mom's side!" Mao Lilan, who didn't understand the situation, thought that her father was helping her mother!
"It's not that simple. Kujo Reiko is a very powerful woman." Shiraizumi immediately poured cold water on Mao Lilan.
350. Conan cried: Ran, my Ran...
Kujo Reiko smiled at the presiding judge and said, "I have no questions."
"Hmm..." The presiding judge looked at Hime Eri and said, "Then the defense may proceed with the questioning."
"Yes." Fei Yingli stood up heavily.
Looking at the depressed Maori Kogoro, she calmly asked, "So, Mr. Maori, do you remember until what time the defendant, Mr. Usami, stayed in Mimasu?"
"We stayed here for about thirty minutes, which means it's almost ten o'clock!" said Maori-Kogoro.
Kisaki Eri then asked, "So, the defendant stayed in Bimasu for the entire thirty minutes that the police estimated his death time, right?"
"It's just as you said." Kogoro Mouri still had a cold expression on his face.
As for Kujo Reiko, she sat in her seat, smiling and twirling the pen in her hand, confident in her thoughts.
"No problem." Hime Eri was too lazy to ask any more questions, and too lazy to visit Mouri Kogoro anymore. Her ex-husband had become a stranger.
"Then the cross-examination of the witness will begin..." The presiding judge was about to announce the end, but...
"Presiding Judge." He looked at Kujo Reiko in surprise, only to see her say, "Can I ask some more questions?"
Although he was surprised, the law did not forbid this, so the presiding judge nodded and said, "Okay."
"Thank you."
Kujo Reiko stood up again, gave the other person a look of disgust, and said, "Mr. Maori, your testimony just now said that you were woken up by the boss's wife while you were taking a nap, right?"
"Yes." Kogoro Mouri nodded.
He lowered his head slightly, smiled complacently, and said, "So, where was your phone at that time?"
"Of course...it's in my coat pocket and hung on the coat rack." Kogoro Mouri, who was not very smart, obviously didn't understand that this was a trap.
"Hmm?" Hime Eri shuddered. Finally, she knew, she understood. So this is what happened. She looked at Kujo Reiko meaningfully, "What a powerful method!"
Kujo Reiko glanced at Kisei Eri with a smug look, then shifted her gaze to Maori Kogoro and said, "So... anyone can change the time displayed on your phone while you're sleeping?"
He changed the subject and sneered, "For example, the hotel's proprietress."
"How is that possible?" Kogoro Mouri finally reacted.
"Objection." Hime Eri stood up and retorted, "The accusation just made by Prosecutor Kujo is entirely based on her speculation."
The presiding judge followed Hibiki Eri's words, looked at Kujo Reiko, and said, "Prosecutor, please make your statement based on the facts."
"I understand." Kujo Reiko nodded. "Then, Your Honor, the prosecution now requests that the defendant's ex-wife, the hotel owner, Ms. Masako Kameda, be called to testify as a new witness for the prosecution."
"Uh..." When he heard the news about his ex-wife, Usami Shinji's face changed. He no longer looked depressed, but was surprised.
"She tricked me." Fei Yingli closed her eyes.
"Teacher." Kuriyama Midori was worried.
"It was my mistake that I only found the alibi and didn't pay attention to these details." Hime Eri was a little disappointed.
"No, it's not the teacher's fault. It's all Mr. Mori's fault. He doesn't remember our friendship at all..." Midori Kuriyama looked at Kogoro Mori angrily.
"Shut up... Even if Kogoro Mouri is my ex-husband, you should speak for the facts." Kisaki Eri is a proud person. She doesn't want Kogoro Mouri to be her ex-husband, so she deliberately favors herself.
"Yes." Kuriyama Midori lowered her head in shame. She is worthy of being the queen of law, so domineering.
One is lawyer Eri Hime, known as the 'Undefeated Queen', and the other is prosecutor Reiko Kujo, known as the 'Madonna of the Prosecutor World'.
One is ice and the other is fire. When the two meet, it is really difficult to calm down!
The two of them sat in their seats, staring at each other, as if they were having a lightning-fast exchange.
The oppressive atmosphere made Mao Lilan very confused. She looked at Bai Quanyi worriedly and said, "What's going on, Bai Jun?"
"If your father doesn't have the phone, it's possible to create an alibi. That is, while your father is asleep, adjust the time on the phone, call him at the scheduled time, wake him up, and have him confirm the time. Then, when your father isn't looking at the phone, set the time back."
"It's easy for the boss lady to do something like this."
What Kujo Reiko could think of, Shiraizumi Masu could also think of.
"But..." Mao Lilan hesitated to speak.
"That's right. It's probably because Aunt Eri and you, Xiaolan, are like you. You both have preconceived notions about the couple's discord and think it's impossible for the boss lady to help Mr. Usami with his alibi."
However, Shiraizumi Mashi is still full of confidence in Eri. None of his women are easy to deal with.
"Ms. Masako Kameda, did you adjust the time on Mr. Mori's cell phone on the night of the incident?" Looking at Masako Kameda who had a calm face, Reiko Kujo asked seriously.
She looked up at her ex-husband, her heart ached at his haggard face, but she appeared indifferent.
Seeing that Kameda Masako didn't answer, Kujo Reiko asked anxiously, "Is there one?"
"Uh..." A sad expression appeared on Kameda Masako's face, and she looked at Kujo Reiko in embarrassment.
Kujo Reiko said in an extremely oppressive tone: "Tell the truth. If you lie, it might become perjury!"
He lowered his head, clenched his hands tightly, but kept silent, his lips trembling as if he was mentally preparing for something.
"Is there really one?" Kujo Reiko was anxious.
"Huh..." Kameda Masako relaxed and murmured to herself, "Just like...just like the prosecutor said."
·· ········Request flowers 0 ··
Kisaki Eri was silent with an embarrassed look on her face, while Kujo Reiko smiled smugly.
Kujo Reiko asked with a faint smile: "So, you admit that you changed the time on your phone."
"Yes." Masako Kameda nodded with her eyes closed.
"Heh, heh..." Kujo Reiko chuckled softly, crossed her arms, and glanced at Kameda Masako. "In that case, what time were Mr. Mori and the defendant Usami actually in your store?"
"I moved the time forward about thirty minutes, so it should have been nine fifty-five." Masako Kameda narrated as if it were a procedure.
"Judge," Kujo Reiko said, glancing at a piece of paper. "The Mimasu Hotel is only a ten-minute walk from the crime scene. This means the defendant could have committed the crime within a reasonable timeframe."
"Hmm..." The presiding judge nodded, indicating that he understood.
