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

"I kissed her secretly, she probably didn't know."

Bai Quanyi chuckled to himself, then left the room.

Before leaving, Bai Quanyi's attention was attracted by the letter on the table. He picked it up and walked to a well-lit place to take a look.

Handwritten font: Lingzi, I haven't heard from you in a while. How are you? Work must be very tiring! If you pass by here, be sure to come and visit!

——Kayoko.

Letter: Dear Sir, how is your health these days? November 27th is the third anniversary of my late husband, Nezu Ni, and a memorial service will be held. I hope you will be so kind as to attend despite your busy schedule.

The deceased: Kayoko Nezu.

396. It’s him!

"It's really suspicious. Why would Takeuchi wear this kind of clothes, and what are these traces?" Holding the information from the coroner, Shiraizumi Yi was secretly puzzled.

A dying person was wearing a shirt that looked like he was going out, and jeans underneath. Besides that, there were traces of something rubbing against his clothes down to his knees.

"Forget it, let's go to the scene and take a look!" After putting the information back into the file cabinet, Shiraizumi Yi walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Shiraizumi Mashi came to the building where Takeuchi had jumped from, and looked around for a long time, but found nothing. "It seems that the thing is not here."

The autopsy report stated that there were brick marks on the back of Takeuchi's head. I thought I would find something there, but who knew...

"Hmm..." I looked up at the balcony where "Zero Four Three" jumped towards Takeuchi, and suddenly noticed something strange. "What on earth is that..."

"His wife said that since her husband is no longer here, she can no longer live here, so she moved back to her parents' home. It seems that the house must be sold."

"Okay, Officer Baiquanyi, please return the key to the management office when you go back."

"Okay, thank you." He took the key from the administrator, nodded at him, opened the door, closed it again, and walked towards the balcony.

Holding onto the corner, I looked down, "Sure enough, it's here. Why is the antenna facing downwards?" This might be because it was raining and dark last night, so I had no time to pay attention to these things.

"In that case, the brick should be here." Bai Quanyi lowered his head and began to search, "Hmm..." He found a brick under the blower.

"Dirt." He turned his head, his face mixed with dirt. "So that's how it is. It was replaced. I'm afraid it was replaced with the bricks in the flower bed in front. And then there's how I made him jump from the building right in front of Reiko."

Continuing to search along this clue, I found that the wire of the clothesline on the wall had stretched.

After a long time, a light bulb went off in my head, "That's right, that's it."

He quickly ran into the room and searched the closet, "Could it have been thrown away?" He was shocked, but still did not give up.

"Found it." Looking at the deformed clothes hanger, Bai Quanyi smiled.

The Procuratorate's office.

Kujo Reinari was holding a photo taken five years ago. In the photo, he was still young and energetic, with his immediate boss standing next to him.

Her thoughts couldn't help but go back to the experiences of five years ago, and she had a lot of thoughts.

Her eyes were filled with complex emotions. She closed her eyes, sighed heavily, and then put the photo into the cabinet.

“Ring, ring, ring…”

"What's the matter?" After answering the call from the front desk, Reiko Kujo asked.

"Lawyer Fei is here."

"Hmm..." After a moment's pause, he replied, "Please ask her to come in."

"Kujo, can you come out with me for a while?" said Kisaki Eri.

Looking at Hime Eri's smiling face, Kujo Reiko was puzzled, but still replied: "Okay, it's okay."

There was no haze like in the past few days. At this time, the avenue was covered with green shade, and pedestrians were coming and going on the road, creating a warm scene.

"Thank you for last time. Is there any news on Takeuchi's case?" Reiko Kujo and Eri Kisaki walked side by side.

"Well... the case was dropped because the suspect died," said Eri Hime.

"I'm causing you trouble."

At this time, Hime Eri did not answer her quickly. It seemed that the harmony between the two was not improving so quickly. After a long time, Hime Eri said.

"By the way, I heard that you submitted your letter of intent to resign. Is that true?"

Reiko Kujo was silent, her eyes trembling slightly, and she looked very complicated. She lowered her head and remained silent. Looking at Reiko Kujo like this, Eri Ki also had some thoughts.

"Don't you want to be a prosecutor anymore?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Kujo Reiko raised her head, her eyes filled with fighting spirit, "I'm ready to accept any punishment for forcing the suspect who surrendered himself to suicide."

"What about the hit-and-run case?" Feiyingli's face turned serious.

"The prosecutor who replaced me will re-establish his wife's guilt, and preparations are already underway."

"Are you willing to accept this?" Fei Yingli asked.

"Actually, as long as the truth can be revealed, I personally have no problem..." After hearing what Kujo Reiko said, Hime Eri smiled in her heart and then spoke.

"Even if it means letting the murderer get away from under your noses, will it be okay?"

"What?" Kujo Reiko was shocked. "Murder?"

"Hmm..." Hime Eri nodded, "Takeuchi was disguised as suicide, but there are doubts that he was murdered."

"How, how could this happen... I saw it with my own eyes..." Kujo Reiko was shocked and confused.

"What did you see?" Feiyingli asked seriously, "Your eyes?"

Kujo Reiko was silent, thinking back to what happened that day, but she could only answer Hime Eri with silence. This, on the contrary...

"Where was his wife then?"

"Uh..." Kujo Reiko looked at Hime Eri in surprise, then shook her head, "I don't know. At that time, I was only focused on stopping Mr. Takeuchi, and his wife..."

"Uh... could it be..." Kujo Reiko's pupils widened in reaction, and it seemed that she had thought of something.

"Hmm..." Hime Eri nodded, "His wife has a motive to kill her husband."

"So everything is planned?" Kujo Reiko asked.

"Having the prosecutor as a witness means the subsequent search will be just a formality. We won't conduct a search that completely disproves the prosecutor's testimony."

0.3 "That's true." Kujo Reiko suddenly realized, "I never even thought of that possibility."

"What do you think? If you resign now, it will be exactly what the other party wants. Are you willing to do that?" Kisaki Eri provoked Kujo Reiko with words.

"I'm really sorry, I have to go first. I have to go back to work." After saying that, he was about to leave.

However, the other party suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Fei Yingli with a smile on his face, and asked in confusion: "Lawyer Fei, why did you come here to tell me this?"

Fei Yingli smiled mysteriously: "I was also entrusted by someone."

"Entrusted by someone?" Kujo Reiko was stunned.

She looked at the mysterious and smiling Hime Eri, and her thoughts condensed into a handsome figure. She suddenly exclaimed, "Shirakuzumi! It's him!"

397. This is my compensation to you

On the day of the trial, many media outlets entered the courtroom to observe the proceedings, and the trial began under the watchful eyes of the public.

In court——

"The defendant, Mariko Takeuchi, was driving her car at an intersection in Toriya Town around 23 p.m. when the incident occurred. She collided with the bicycle of the victim, Yasuyuki Matsukawa, who was crossing the road, and then fled the scene, leaving the victim behind.

Afterwards, she instigated her husband, Hiroaki Takeuchi, to surrender in her place, a clear attempt to escape the charges.”

As Kujo Reiko sued Takeuchi Mariko, the audience in the courtroom began to discuss the matter.

"The husband committed suicide, and now he is accusing his wife."

"Hmm..." Group

"Even the popular prosecutor Kujo has been forced to fight to the death by the media!"

"That's too much!" Mao Lilan was dissatisfied when she heard the people around her say this.

"Ignore them, this group of people is just like that." Bai Quanyi crossed his arms and looked down on those who had no independent thinking ability.

"But..." Mao Lilan hesitated for a long time before speaking: "But, that lady might really have driven away, but why would my mother defend her?"

"Your mother has her reasons." Bai Quanyi glanced at Fei Yingli in the courtyard and continued, "You will know after you have watched it for a while."

"Does the defendant plead guilty?" The presiding judge looked at Mariko Takeuchi.

"I am innocent." Upon hearing this, Takeuchi Mariko immediately refuted, stood up and pointed at Kujo Reiko, and shouted: "Not only did she force my husband who had already surrendered to suicide, but now even I..."

"Please be quiet."

"Uh..."

Mariko Takeuchi's attitude was severely criticized by the presiding judge, and the other party was also stunned.

"If the defendant has a different opinion, please state it when stating your opinion."

The majesty of the presiding judge made Mariko Takeuchi sit down quietly, her hands clenched tightly.

"Now we're going to collect evidence." The presiding judge looked at Kujo Reiko, "Prosecutor."

"Yes, Presiding Judge." Kujo Reiko picked up the documents in front of her. "The evidence is as follows: the analysis results of the vehicle involved in the accident, the fingerprint identification report left on the steering wheel, the analysis results of the glass bottle and paint film collected at the accident scene, and the paint stains adhered to the victim's bicycle."

"The banquet ended around 10 o'clock, and the president drove back home by himself."

"Thank you."

Reiko Kujo thanked Mariko Takeuchi's staff who were willing to come on stage to testify.

"I have finished my questions, Your Honor."

"Okay." The presiding judge nodded to Kujo Reiko, then looked at Hime Eri on the other side and said, "Next, defense attorney, please raise your objection."

"Yes, Judge." Hime Eri stood up, looked at the witness, and said, "Mr. Yajima (the witness), I have a question for you."

"Did you see the defendant drive home?"

"That's... no... I'm only responsible for companies with whom I have business dealings..."

"Did you see it or not? Please answer like this." Hime Eri is worthy of being Hime Eri. As soon as she arrived in court, she seemed like a different person.

"Um...I didn't see it..." The witness was obviously shocked by Hime Yingli.

"I've finished asking questions." Fei Yingli said and sat down.

Mariko Takeuchi is very satisfied with her defense lawyer, Eri Kisaki. "No wonder you can get such a high defense fee!"

"Hehe..." Feiyingli smiled slightly.

"This..." Bai Quanyi, who was sitting in the courtyard, smiled bitterly. How could this woman be so capricious? She changed her expression so quickly!

After a long discussion, defense, and consultation with the judges, Hime Eri finally started to "take action."

"Your Honor, the defense requests the testimony of a special witness."

"Prosecutor." The presiding judge looked at Kujo Reiko. "What are your thoughts on this sudden request that has been made since the court opened today?"

Reiko Kujo turned her head and saw a naughty smile. Her face turned red, which really surprised the assistant next to her.

"I have no objection." After saying this, Kujo Reiko quickly sat down, trying not to look at the smiling face that made her so attractive.

"Let me play." Bai Quanyi said secretly.

"Then, as a special witness for the defense, I call—Hakusen Masaru."

Upon hearing this name, the audience in the court immediately started talking and pointing at Bai Quanyi, causing Bai Quanyi to frown from time to time.

"Prosecutor, is this okay?" the assistant asked, looking at the strange Reiko Kujo.

"Well... no problem..." Kujo Reiko said casually without turning around.

"What's wrong with the prosecutor? He looks so good. Is he sick?" The assistant's muttering did not escape Reiko Kujo's hearing. Indeed, his face became even redder.

"I will help you find the truth." For some reason, Kujo Reiko kept thinking of these words in her mind, as if they were deeply integrated into her soul.

For the first time, I felt the warmth of being cared for, the happiness of being protected, and the sweetness in my heart, which made my heart beat fast.

On the courtroom podium, the presiding judge banged the gavel and said, "Could you please explain the situation? I believe you all know that your position in this court has always been around the hit-and-run case."

"Yes, that's right," Kisei nodded. "However, this case is inextricably linked to the Takeuchi Construction case, and to clarify this matter, we believe it will have a significant impact on the trial of this case."

"Then, please ask the witness to continue his testimony." The presiding judge looked at Bai Quanyi and said.
