Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

He looked at Fei Yingli and asked, "Does the defense have anything to ask the witness?"

Hime Eri stood up solemnly, looking at Kameda Masako, who looked dejected and sad, and said, "Ms. Masako, during the questioning before the court hearing, you said you hated the defendant. If that's the case, why did you create an alibi for him?"

"I don't know." Kameda Masako seemed to be disgusted by this question. She turned her head away and didn't look at the man.

He looked deeply at Kameda Masako, then at Usami Shinji, then with a hint of sadness, he looked at the judge and said, "I'm fine."

"Okay, are there any other witnesses from both sides who need to be summoned?" asked the presiding judge.

"Okay, are there any other witnesses from both sides who need to be summoned?" asked the presiding judge.

Reiko Kujo summoned another izakaya owner, who confirmed that at around 8:30 on the night of the incident, Usami Shinji and Hirasawa Tsuyoshi had indeed had an argument in his store and were kicked out by him.

"I also have a witness to summon." Kisaki Eri decided to ask for help from Shiraizumi Masu.

Shiraizumi Mashi has already informed Kisaki Eri that this case was investigated by other people, and he is now re-investigating the case and has obtained new clues.

A famous figure in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Inspector Masushi Shiraizumi, appeared in the witness stand in court.

The jury was in an uproar. Why would the police stand against the prosecution? This was unheard of.

Kujo Reiko stared coldly at Shirai Ichi and asked, "Inspector Bai, what do you mean?"

Bai Quanyi said, "The police have new clues in this case. For the sake of the truth, I must stand up now, even if it may threaten the prestige of the Metropolitan Police Department!"

When Mao Lilan saw Shiraizumi Masu stand up and rescue her mother, she was overjoyed and a pink heart shape was imprinted in her eyes towards Shiraizumi Masu.

When Conan saw how much Mao Li Ran liked Shiraizumi Masu, he was overwhelmed with sadness, tears welled up in his eyes, and he cried.

"Xiaolan...my Xiaolan..." 2.

351. The double duel between Masu Shiroizumi, Reiko Kujo and Eri Fei

Baiquanyi said: "Before that, I have a question for Kameda Masako."

Kameda Masako gritted her teeth and said, "About... half an hour."

It was pointless for her to lie. After all, octopus had been found in the stomach contents, which meant that the other party must have stayed in her store for quite some time, and her excuses would be immediately exposed.

Kujo Reiko also returned to her seat at this moment, staring intently at Shiraizumi Masu: "I would like to ask Inspector Shirai, in your opinion, if it wasn't Usami Shinji who killed the person, then who was the murderer?"

Bai Quanyi calmly replied, "Based on the clues the police have now, I have sorted out the events leading up to and following the case."

"First of all, there is a question in this case. Is the relationship between Usami Shinji and Ms. Masako good or bad?"

"From the looks of it, their relationship had deteriorated to the point of divorce, and the culprit who tore them apart was undoubtedly Hirasawa Tsuyoshi, who murdered their son."

"On the night of the incident, Mr. Usami ran into Hirasawa, the culprit who caused the breakup of his family, and then the two of them started arguing."

"In the middle of the argument, they were kicked out by the owner of the izakaya."

"Not knowing what to do, Mr. Usami dragged Hirasawa into his ex-wife's shop."

"When Miss Changzi saw the murderer of her son standing before her, the hatred that had been dormant in her heart suddenly revived, and she began to harbor murderous intentions towards Hirasawa!"

Ignoring Kujo Reiko's increasingly grim expression, Kisaki Eri continued her story:

"So, Ms. Masako first kicked the defendant out, then invited Hirasawa to the construction site and killed him. Then she returned and used Mr. Mori to create an alibi."

"And Mr. Usami is just taking the blame for his ex-wife!"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Kujo Reiko clapped her hands softly, her expression regaining composure. "Inspector Bai's reasoning is indeed brilliant, but how do you prove that this alibi was fabricated for him by his ex-wife, and not something the defendant asked his ex-wife to forge?"

Bai Quanyi said calmly, "Miss Kujo, since the defendant was arrested until now, have you heard that the defendant has used this alibi?"

"This..." Kujo Reiko's expression froze.

Bai Quanyi smiled and said, "If he really asked his ex-wife to create this alibi, he wouldn't keep claiming that he didn't remember anything like before."

"Where's the key?" Kujo Reiko continued to question:

"How do you explain the key?"

"Isn't this simple?" Baiquanyi explained, "I think after leaving his ex-wife's shop, he might have been worried and turned back, and happened to see his ex-wife killing Hirasawa."

"So, while he was drunk, he decided to take the blame for his ex-wife. My guess is that the defendant probably thought that if he killed Hirasawa while drunk, he might avoid jail time like Hirasawa did."

"Of course, in order to completely pin the suspicion on him, he left his car keys at the scene."

"Besides that key, do you have any other decisive evidence that the defendant committed murder?"

Kujo Reiko's face became even gloomier.

Honestly, they don't.

She was actually a little confused. The murderer obviously had enough time not to leave fingerprints on the murder weapon and to arrange an alibi, so why would he leave something as important as the car keys at the scene?

Now, after hearing Shiraizumi Yoshi's explanation, Kujo Reiko actually had a vague feeling in her heart that what Shiraizumi Yoshi said was the truth.

However, she didn't want to admit defeat so easily!

She questioned again, "Isn't their relationship terrible? They've already gotten divorced, so how can he still take the blame for his ex-wife?"

Baiquanyi shook his head gently and said, "No, you are wrong. In fact, Mr. Usami is still deeply in love with his ex-wife in his heart, otherwise he would not have dragged Hirasawa to his ex-wife's shop."

"I'm afraid the same thing goes for Ms. Changzi. She eventually revealed this alibi. Even if it was fabricated for herself, under the circumstances at the time, her ability to mention Mr. Maori's clue shows that she didn't want to see her ex-husband take the blame for her."

"And..." Baiquanyi took out a matchbox: "This is Miki Noboru's matchbox, which was found in the defendant's home."

"The back of the matchbox also has the word [MIMASU] written on it."

"What does this mean...huh?" Kujo Reiko said halfway when her eyes suddenly widened, as if she had discovered something.

"That's right." Bai Quanyi showed the matchbox in the direction of the presiding judge and continued:

"If you read it backwards, it's [USAMIM], which is the abbreviation of their deceased son Masaki, and also the days when they lived happily before their divorce."

"I think the defendant must have understood his ex-wife's feelings after seeing the matchbox."

"He must have done all this to save his ex-wife."

As Shiraizumi Yi finished speaking, Usami Shinji, who was sitting in the dock, suddenly stood up and roared at Shiraizumi Yi excitedly:

"You're talking nonsense! I was the one who killed that man! How could my wife do such a thing!?"

The bailiff standing behind him quickly restrained him to prevent him from leaving the dock.

However, even though he was being held tightly by two bailiffs, Usami Shinji continued to shout, "I killed him! I killed him!"

Not to mention the presiding judge, even the people in the gallery noticed the problem.

"Stop talking! Shinji!" Kameda Masako's voice suddenly rang out, instantly stopping Usami's shouting.

He stared blankly at his ex-wife... no, his wife.

For the first time in court, Masako Kameda looked directly at Shinji Usami, and the coldness in her eyes disappeared, becoming extremely warm and gentle.

She stared at Usami Shinji and sighed, "I'm so sorry for perjury. I didn't know anything about the key before..."

She looked at Bai Quanyi again: "Inspector Bai is right, I was indeed the one who killed Hirasawa."

"Masako..." Usami Shinji gritted his teeth, his face full of pain.

Kameda Masako said softly, "When Hirasawa came to my shop, I asked him if we had met somewhere before."

"Do you know what his answer was?"

"He actually said that he had no impression of me at all!"

"It's obvious...it's obvious that he destroyed our once happy family with his own hands! Doesn't he feel any guilt at all?"

"I... can never forgive him!"

There was a brief silence in the courtroom.

Anyone who is not heartless will be moved by the love between these two people who are obviously divorced but still deeply in love with each other.

It is just a pity that this love, which should be envied by everyone, is presented to people in this way in a place like a court.

The silence lasted for a while, and then Bai Quanyi said, "That's all I have to say."

The presiding judge looked at both sides of the defense: "Do either side have any further comments?"

"I'm fine now." Hibari said calmly.

Kujo Reiko also slowly sat down in her seat. After a moment of silence, she said solemnly, "The prosecutors will drop the murder charge against Usami Shinji and instead charge him with harboring a criminal. They are also requesting an investigation into Kameda Masako's suspected murder!"

This time, Kujo Reiko lost the duel.

She was really unwilling to accept this. Originally, in her opinion, this was a duel in which she was sure to win...

However, although Kujo Reiko lost, in her heart, she only lost to Shiraizumi Masu, and she won over Kisaki Eri!

The presiding judge saw that both parties had expressed their opinions and the original witness had pleaded guilty in court, so he did not say anything more.

After going through some necessary procedures, the presiding judge finally said:

"After debate between both parties and a comprehensive review of known clues and testimony, this court renders the following verdict!"

The presiding judge then pronounced a verdict on Usami Shinji based on Japanese criminal law, the court debate, and the existing evidence.

The murder charge against him is no longer valid, but he took the blame for his ex-wife, which was considered a form of shielding, so he cannot escape criminal punishment and will have to spend some time in prison.

As for Masako Kameda, although she has admitted to the crime of murder, she still needs to be investigated by the police first, then transferred to the prosecutor's office, and finally tried in another court.

This case also came to an end with the presiding judge's verdict.

After the case was over, Kujo Reiko came to Kisaki Eri proudly.

"Lawyer Fei, remember this. In court, I lost to Inspector Bai, not you! Your undefeated legend is just a legend, not a fact!"

Naturally, Kisaki Eri would not admit that she lost to Kujo Reiko: "Inspector Shiro is the witness I found. He is my man. I defeated you, Miss Kujo. I know you are not convinced, but you must accept the facts."

Upon hearing this, Kujo Reiko accused Shirazumi Masu and said, "Superintendent Shirazu, you, as a superintendent, provided incomplete evidence to the prosecutor's office. You are derelict in your duty!"

Bai Quanyi was unwilling to take the blame and said, "Hey? I'm sorry, Prosecutor Kujo, this case wasn't handled by me. I only discovered the problem later, and it's too late to remedy it. I can only reveal the truth in court."

Bai Quanyi changed the subject and said sincerely, "Prosecutor Kujo, I apologize to you. I will treat you to a meal next time and apologize to you solemnly. Or you can ask for other compensation, as long as I can do it."

Kujo Reiko saw that Shiraizumi Masu was sincere and truly repentant. In fact, she also knew in her heart that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was a bunch of useless people, except for Shiraizumi Masu, and it would be unreasonable to criticize Shiraizumi too harshly.

"Humph! I'll let you go this time. I'll wait for you to treat me to a meal and apologize to me solemnly."

After saying that, Kujo Reiko shook her long hair and walked away.

Seeing this, Kisaki Eri became unhappy.

"Bai Quanyi, why are you being so polite to that woman? What do you mean?"

"The Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Prosecutors' Office often cooperate, so if we can avoid offending anyone, we'll do it. Eri, I hope you understand, this is my job."

Kisaki Eri shifted her hands to her chest and said unhappily, "This prosecutor Kujo is really annoying. Come to my house tonight and let me vent."

Baiquanyi said: "Eri, if you are upset and want to vent, how can you rely on me?"

Kisaki Eri said, "If not you, who else should I look for? Maori Kogoro?"

Bai Quanyi said: "Uh... I understand..."

At night, in the guest room of Hibiki Eri's apartment.

"Bai Quanyi, you are amazing. It feels so good."

"oh oh……"

Kisaki Eri is full of fighting spirit, majestic and heroic, and her performance is no less than her performance in court.

Shiraizumi Masu fought with Kujo Reiko in court today, and with Kisaki Eri in the guest room at night. He was truly a god descending to earth.

Because Kisaki Eri vented all her anger towards Kujo Reiko on Shiraizumi Masu, the noise was so deafening that it even woke up Xiaolan who was sleeping next door.

Xiaolan ran to the guest room angrily and found the door locked.

"Mom is so mean. She thinks about monopolizing Bai Jun all the time. That's too much!"

Furious, Xiaolan resorted to karate and forcibly split the door open.

352. Living room, balcony, bathroom

Outside the guest room, the night is thick and dark, like a skilled painter who paints everything with mysterious colors. The solemn night creates an exciting charm.

In the guest room, Kisaki Eri's face was flushed. She was really enjoying herself. She had gradually forgotten the unpleasantness that Prosecutor Kujo had brought her today and was immersed in pleasure.
