Chapter 300: Adjournment Time: Acquaintance
Watching Kudo Shinichi walking away with the bailiff.

Uncle Maori walked over to Xiang Yuanguang in two or three steps, muttering angrily.

“This brat didn’t even say hello when he saw me.”

“Really? That’s so rude.”

(Rather than being impolite, it’s probably for self-protection.)
(After all, the Death God Elementary School Student is watching right next to him, and he might get hit by the football.)
Xiang Yuanguang was complaining in his heart, but he didn’t worry about anything else.

What needs to be investigated next is the motive and evidence.

As long as these two items can be obtained, Miyoshi Mako can be directly charged as the murderer.

As for other matters, let’s wait until the trial is over tomorrow.

“I say, Kudo Shinichi is definitely a disguise of Mr. Kidd, but it’s too sophisticated.”

“That’s why even Inspector Nakamori, who pinched it directly, couldn’t tell!”

On the other side, Suzuki Sonoko was still talking incessantly about her ideas with Mouri Ran.

It is true that Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi are childhood sweethearts.

But the problem is, she and Kudo Shinichi are childhood sweethearts.

How can you not know what kind of person Kudo Shinichi is?

This kind of guy will definitely stick to his detective skills and won’t learn any magic.

“Besides, I remember that Kudo often read Conan Doyle’s detective books.”

“It seems Conan Doyle looked down on magicians? What about their miserable fate?”

It is [the crime is deserved and will be punished soon].

Conan, who had been distracted by the conversation over there, shook his head.

This is the famous detective novelist Arthur Conan Doyle’s evaluation of the famous American magician Harry Houdini.

Because Conan Doyle believed in some supernatural and spiritualistic theories, he disliked the great magicians who opposed spiritualism. Some said that Houdini deserved his sudden death, while others said that Conan Doyle was mentally retarded.

All I can say is that both sides are not very moral in their words. Having said that, before meeting Xiang Yuanguang, he was also a materialist like Houdini and did not believe in any supernatural things.

But seeing Yuan performing magic in the court every day, and even conducting a spiritual communication in front of everyone, it is really hard to maintain a materialistic worldview.

(Could it be that Conan Doyle encountered someone similar when he was writing The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes?)

A somewhat ridiculous thought flashed through the mind of the Death God Elementary School Student.

Tick, tick, tick.

Footsteps were heard not far away, followed by a somewhat unfamiliar voice.

The owner of this sound seemed to be in a good mood, humming a song.

Then, as if seeing a ghost, the humming sound stopped abruptly.

“…Ah, you’re that Hedgehog-headed Sonic! Didn’t you go to Shikoku?!”

Kensuke Kumimon, who received a mission from Honkedai to come to Beika Town to sue, was shocked.

He had only been to Tokyo once in the past few months, and he had already met the God of Plague?
One is Kogoro Mori, one is Genmizu Mukai, and the other is the elementary school student in the blue suit who looks really strange.

This is such a misfortune for our family… Is it too late to take a detour now?
However, unlike the confused Kumimon, his legal assistant Dai Machiko was quite surprised.

“Mr. Xiang Yuan, I heard that you had a very successful lawsuit in Shikoku.”

“Just like the previous staggered trial that created a legal first, this is a new first.”

“Never before has a lawyer been able to put both the prosecutor and the presiding judge in jail during the trial!”

…Has this matter spread so widely? In Shikoku, the news was suppressed.

Or is it that, as a top figure in the legal profession, Kumimon is relatively well-informed?
Not intending to care about these, he nodded to Yuan Guang and asked the usual question.

“Looking at Mr. Gu Meimen’s usual expression, I know that you two have been doing good business recently.”

“May I ask what case you are here for in Tokyo? Is there anything I can help you with?”

Seeing how relaxed Kensuke Kumemon looks, it is probably not a particularly difficult lawsuit.

Now that Arita Ryosuke is not around, Genkou can’t really help. After all, this is not Shikoku. Shikoku has the Iga Group to help, but here he is the only one.

“We came to Tokyo for a lawsuit regarding an accidental magic incident.”

“It was a young magician who died on stage three years ago due to a performance accident.”

“The family hopes to claim compensation from the magic venue, so…”

Machiko Dai spoke enthusiastically, but was stopped by Kensuke Kumemon.

The legendary lawyer said this very unkindly.

“So these matters don’t need your damn human rights lawyers to intervene and help at all.”

“It’s just a small case involving a magician. How much time do we need to spend on it?”

“I heard that you are also handling a murder case involving a magician. How come you have no clues?”

“Do you want me to check it for you, Blue Sonic? But I don’t think you will agree…”

“Oh, thank you very much. I was just worried that no one would help me.”

“…?”

When I put a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

Gu Meimen’s high-speed divine speech was interrupted instantly.

This kid hasn’t been seen for a while and his strength hasn’t improved, but he has become thicker-skinned.

But now that I have said it, it seems that now is not the right time to regret it. It will damage my reputation in Tokyo…

“I can help you, but you also have to help me negotiate the case here.”

“The owner of the magic venue over there is very tight-lipped. Use your magic to loosen his mouth.”

“Okay, okay, okay. I’m in a hurry. Where’s the file? Let me take a look. What are you investigating?”

The legendary lawyer complained a little, thinking that today was really his unlucky day.

For some reason I now had one more thing to do. I had originally been planning to go to a nearby high-end restaurant for lunch.

It doesn’t matter about the hedgehog head, as long as I can trick one, I’ll trick one.

If you don’t jump in front of me, you will be cheated? The evaluation is that it is your own fault.

When he handed his court records to Kensuke Kumemon, Machiko Dai also handed her court records to Genkou Xiang.

The two legendary lawyers opened the court records in their hands almost simultaneously.

Then, they frowned almost in sync, and finally spoke almost in sync.

“Ninety-nine yuan Kang?”

Gu Meimen looked up at Xiang Yuanguang, and Xiang Yuanguang also looked up at him.

There was a hint of surprise in both of their expressions, because the same person appeared in both cases.

That’s right, it was none other than Kyujuku Motoyasu, the leader of the Miracle Magic Group.

He is both a witness in the case that Kumimon is responsible for, and the deceased in the case that Genmitsu is responsible for.

“It seems that the target of the investigation is already very clear. There must be something wrong with this guy.”

Kensuke Kumimon perked up.

“You now suspect that the murderer is Miyoshi Mako, right? I’ll help you investigate her situation.”

“In exchange, how about you help me with the boss of the magic venue over there? Sounds reasonable, right?”

He snapped his fingers at Yuan Guang.

“No problem, I’ll do as you say.”

“Everyone gets what they need. It’s fair.”
