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

"Then let's get straight to the point!" Bai Quanyi also knew that from that moment on, they could officially get into today's topic.

"As I mentioned earlier, Prosecutor Kujo was waiting for Takeuchi to surrender on behalf of his wife. And when the truth about the illegal construction case that ended with no prosecution five years ago was about to be revealed..."

"A plan emerged in Takeuchi's mind."

"What kind of plan is it?" asked Hime Eri.

"If the prosecutor hasn't forgotten the previous case, he can use it as leverage to blackmail his wife. That means not only can he be freed, but he can also get a large sum of money, right?"

Hearing what Shiraizumi Masu said, Takeuchi Mariko couldn't help but fall into deep thought, not knowing what she was thinking about.

"Then his wife began to harbor murderous intentions towards Takeuchi."

"Ha..." Upon hearing this, Takeuchi Mariko stood up and shouted, "Wait... what do you mean by murderous intent..."

"Defendant, please be quiet." The presiding judge stopped him.

"Witness, do you want to say that Takeuchi's death is related to the defendant?" asked the presiding judge.

"That's right." Bai Quanyi said.

"Judge, please regard his statement as relevant testimony to make the truth clear." Hime Eri's words immediately provoked a rebuke from Takeuchi Mariko.

"What are you talking about! You are my defense attorney!"

The presiding judge looked at them silently, then turned to Kujo Reiko and asked, "What is the prosecutor's opinion?"

"We also want the truth to come to light." Kujo Reiko certainly didn't mind, because this matter revolved around her.

The presiding judge pretended to think for a moment before continuing, "Witness, please continue your testimony."

"Wait a minute, why should I..." Mariko Takeuchi's questioning was once again stopped by the presiding judge. Now, Mariko Takeuchi felt uneasy and even threatened.

"Please continue your testimony," said the presiding judge.

"That day, Takeuchi wanted to tell Prosecutor Kujo everything, so he called her and asked her to come to his house. Of course, I think this was probably a trick to get money!"

"Then the wife turned the plan into action."

"But, Mr. Shiraizumi, I heard that Mr. Takeuchi jumped from the building in front of witnesses. How do you explain this?"

"Mr. Takeuchi was wearing a coat when he jumped from the balcony, but he was only wearing jeans. There's something fishy going on here."

"After killing Takeuchi, the wife dressed the body in a shirt and placed a wire hanger on its back. She then moved the body to the balcony and tied a rope to the hanger. The other end of the rope passed through the hook of the ceiling clothesline and led into the room. Then, by pulling the rope hidden in the room, the body would be hung below the ceiling, making it look like it was standing there."

"What? It's all nonsense." Anyway, no matter what Mariko Takeuchi said, she was stopped by the chief judge.

"But witness, even if this method can make the corpse stand up, it can't make it jump down!"

"That's right. To do this, we not only had to hoist the body from above, but also pull it from the front. To pull the body forward, we used the BS antenna installed on the balcony as a fulcrum and wrapped a rope around the body's chest. Then, we placed the suicide note we had prepared in the living room and waited for Prosecutor Kujo to arrive. We pretended to have just returned from an outing and returned to the room with Prosecutor Kujo."

"Perhaps because the balcony was dark, and because he was so shocked by what was happening, even Prosecutor Kujo failed to notice the unnaturalness of Takeuchi's actions and his wife's suspicious behavior!"

"Stop talking nonsense. What evidence do you have?" Now, Mariko Takeuchi didn't care about anything. If she continued to remain silent, she would be finished.

"The rope that should have been freed got tangled due to some rebound. The rope that should have been freed got tangled due to some rebound. Only your BS antenna was pointing downwards."

"How would I know when it bent? Maybe it was before the incident!" Mariko Takeuchi retorted.

"Twisted wire hangers were found in the bedroom storage area."

"Because it was bent and I was just about to throw it away!"

"There was blood and hair on the bricks under the air conditioner outdoor unit.

"What nonsense! I clearly took care of that part of the head...

"what……"

Finally, Mariko Takeuchi's true colors were revealed. She was really being led astray and became too proud of herself.

"It was indeed exchanged with the bricks in the flower bed." Bai Quanyi sneered.

"The brick that served as the murder weapon has been found, and forensic work is now underway." Reiko Kujo could finally raise her head.

"You, you guys... you guys are playing with me..." Mariko Takeuchi was furious.

"Silence." The presiding judge showed his authority again, intimidating the award-winning Mariko Takeuchi into silence again.

"Thank you." Reiko Kujo looked touched.

"I told you this is my compensation to you."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

398. Kujo Reiko got her first man at the age of 33

Afterwards, Mariko Takeuchi confessed her crimes and the causes and consequences of the Takeuchi Construction Company case five years ago.

Finally, the truth was revealed in front of numerous media outlets, allowing Kujo Reiko to regain her glory.

However, because of this case, Kujo Reiko had her salary cut for half a year and suspended for one month. Similarly, Kisaki Eri also received the same "punishment."

Of course, these are nothing to the two women.

And Kujo Reiko even took it as a chance to rest for a while, as she happened to have something to do.

It was the third anniversary of her former boss's death, so she wanted to go back.

It was the card that Bai Quanyi saw at her house last time. It was sent by her boss's wife, who specially invited her to visit.

..........

Location: Tottori.

Kujo Reiko got off the Shinkansen with her suitcase. She had only taken two steps when she was stopped. She frowned and turned away. "I say, can you please walk faster?"

"Coming, coming." The voice sounded a bit lazy. Perhaps the owner must be a frivolous and leisurely person!

"Really? I shouldn't have let you come." Kujo Reiko sighed, shook her head, and looked helpless.

"Don't say that! I'm your man after all. Your boss should be very pleased that you brought your man to meet him!" Baiquan Yi stepped forward and put his arm around Kujo Reiko's shoulder and said with a smile.

With a frown, he reached out to take away Bai Quanyi's "dirty hand" and said, "Who is whose man? I don't admit it." After saying that, he left Bai Quanyi and walked away alone.

"Don't...don't..." Bai Quanyi chased after him anxiously.

At an angle that Baiquanyi couldn't see, Kujo Reiko's mouth curled up slightly. She noticed the footsteps behind her, became playful, and quickened her pace.

So, at the station, there was a scene of a man chasing a woman.

………….

"Is this the place?" Looking at the house in front of him, the door and windows were tightly closed, and there was lush green all around, giving off a peaceful atmosphere.

Looking at the unchanged scenery in front of her, Kujo Reiko couldn't help but feel a little emotional, her eyes trembling, it seemed that she was thinking of the past.

"Sigh..." Shiraizumi Mashi sighed slightly, feeling regretful for not being able to understand Kujo Reiko's past and feeling ashamed for not being able to help Kujo Reiko at that time.

He shook his head and was about to go forward and ring the doorbell, but was stopped by Kujo Reiko.

"Wait."

Hesitantly, he lowered his arm, stared into the other person's eyes, understood what he meant, nodded, and retreated.

Take a deep breath, raise your hand, and place it on the familiar mark from many years ago.

“Ding Dong… Ding Dong…”

He put down his hand and waited for an echo with mixed emotions. His eager breathing made Bai Quanyi realize how restless and excited the other person was at the moment.

After a long moment, a gentle female voice rang out: "Excuse me, who is it?"

"Huo..." In an instant, Kujo Reiko burst into tears. She could no longer hold back her tears. For so many years, so many days and nights, all for this day, just for this day.

"Reiko." Bai Quanyi became anxious and quickly stepped forward to hug the weak woman. At this moment, this strong woman became sentimental, which made people feel pity for her.

"Reiko. Is that Reiko?" The woman's voice came from the intercom again, but this time, it was spoken with excitement and joy.

"It's me, it's me, I'm Reiko, Madam." With the support of Shiraizumi Mashi, Kujo Reiko shouted excitedly, wiping her tears like an excited little girl.

"Click..." The sound of the phone being hung up was heard. Before I could react, I heard footsteps coming from inside the room, which showed how anxious the owner was.

"Wow..."

The door suddenly opened, and a pretty woman walked out. It was as if time had not added any color to her face. At this moment, her face was filled with excitement, joy, and excitement...

When the lady saw Kujo Reiko in Shiraizumi's arms, a sunflower-like smile appeared on her face, "Reiko."

"lady."

As soon as she saw this woman, Kujo Reiko seemed to lose control, shook off Baiquan Yi and ran towards her.

"Huo..."

Reiko Kujo threw herself into the woman's arms and burst into tears like a little girl, while the woman comforted Reiko Kujo like a loving mother.

"Madam... Madam..." Reiko Kujo just kept calling the other party, as if this name had already been deeply embedded in her heart.

"Reiko... Reiko... be good..." The woman always had a motherly smile on her face. While comforting Kujo Reiko, she looked at Shiraizumi Masaru and nodded at him.

Looking at this scene, Bai Quanyi knew that Kujo Reiko and this woman must have a particularly good relationship. At this time, seeing her greeting him, Bai Quanyi also nodded to her.

……

"¨" What? Don't you want to introduce yourself?" The woman asked jokingly to Kujo Reiko across from her, and glanced at Baiquan Yi, which immediately made Kujo Reiko embarrassed.

"Hello, ma'am. I'm Shiraizumi Yi, Reiko's boyfriend." Since Kujo Reiko didn't speak, Shiraizumi Yi came to beg on his own.

"What are you talking about! I, you..." Kujo Reiko was anxious, but she couldn't even explain the reason clearly, and ended up making things worse.

"I understand, I understand." The lady reached out and grabbed Kujo Reiko's beautiful hand, looking at her as if to say, "I understand, I understand," while her eyes were still scanning Baiquanyi.

Seeing this scene, Kujo Reiko almost cried. What the hell is going on? It's all this guy's fault. Seeing the other person's "cheeky smile", she couldn't help but step on him.

"Zizi..." Suddenly, Baiquan Yi took a breath of cold air. His deflated look made Kujo Reiko smile. This scene made the lady nod secretly.

It seems that Bai Quanyi has passed the test of his "mother-in-law", but this time, Bai Quanyi felt really heavy, especially the blow just now, which was really... painful...

Next, Kujo Reiko and Shiraizumi Mashi visited the grave of her former boss and swept the grave. Of course, they went happily but left sadly.

Finally, Bai Quanyi and his friends had dinner here and stayed overnight.

On the night of their stay, Shiraizumi Masu merged with Kujo Reiko.

It's funny that such a beautiful woman like Kujo Reiko didn't have her first man until she was 33 years old.

399. Uniqlo

Xiaolan and Sonoko were on summer vacation. Upon hearing this news, Bai Quanyi's mind was somewhat confused. He still didn't understand the laws of time in this world. Perhaps even the system couldn't figure it out.

It's half past nine in the morning.

Bai Quanyi picked a chair and sat down next to the green window of Beihu Station.

He had agreed with Xiaolan and Sonoko to meet in thirty minutes, so there was still plenty of time. They always waited for him, so he came very early today.

"Huh? Mr. Bai, so early!" Yuanzi walked over and sat next to Bai Quanyi.

The black and white crop top is white in color, with black accents along the neckline, hem, and cuffs. It's paired with a black miniskirt. The design is consistent, perhaps a set. The bag also matches the overall black color scheme, with gold accents on the logo and straps.

"Excuse me, have you been waiting long?!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Xiaolan was waving her hands happily and jogging towards here.

Baiquan Yi arrived early, but before long, Xiaolan and Sonoko arrived.

"No, Sonoko and I just arrived too," said Baiquanyi.

Ran wore a mint green top paired with loose-fitting off-white linen trousers. While her style was unusually simple, a closer look revealed a large swimsuit-like opening at the back, adorned with a bow in the center. While revealing yet sensual, it was truly mouth-watering. I hadn't expected Ran to wear such sexy clothing. As expected, as an adult, she dresses more like one. Shiraizumi Masu deserves all the credit.

"Oh, have you bought your ticket?"

Xiaolan pointed to the green window and said.

Bai Quanyi said, "Hmm. It seems you have to queue up a bit, so you should buy it at the ticket machine. I'll buy it for you."

After receiving the money from them, I went to the ticket machine to buy the ticket.

The one-way fare for a free seat on the Thunderbird from Haido to Wakura is 2,500 yen and the journey takes about 50 minutes.

The other two tickets were given to Sonoko and Xiaolan. Just as Sonoko and Xiaolan were about to pay, Bai Quanyi said, "No need. I'll buy the tickets. I'm your boyfriend."

"How can this be possible!" Xiaolan and Sonoko stuffed the money into the hands of Baiquanyi.
