Chapter 80 Victory is Justice
The trial of the Moon Shadow Island series of cases has ended.

Just as Xiang Yuanguang imagined, whether it was Keiji Aso or Aso Minoru.

All were found not guilty…

Now thinking back on everything that happened before, Xiang Yuanguang felt as if he had just woken up from a dream.

“Lawyer Xiang Yuan, thank you so much this time.”

Ma Chengshi stood in front of Xiang Yuanguang and thanked him sincerely.

He thought for a moment, then spoke.

“Although Attorney Xiang Yuan did not ask me for the commission, I feel that I have to give it to him.”

“Uh…thank you very much then.”

Although Xiang Yuanguang wanted to say that it was just a trivial matter, but, considering the current economic situation.

He still accepted the reward with embarrassment.

However, after receiving the reward, Xiang Yuanguang looked at the closed Grand Courtroom and asked.

“Mr. Aso, what are you going to do next? Change your job?”

“Although the rumors about the Aso family have been debunked, the impact of that year is probably irreversible.”

“Now that your true identity has been exposed, I suggest you not go to work on Moon Shadow Island.”

Moon Shadow Island…?

For Masashi, Tsukikage Island is a strange hometown.

After all, he actually lived on Moon Shadow Island for a very short time, and most of the time he was in Tokyo seeing doctors.

When he recovered from his illness, there was no chance to return to Yueying Island, so he simply finished college in Tokyo.

As for now, he no longer wants to go back. There is no need to go back to a place like that.

“As for me, it’s hard to say. Maybe I’ll go abroad for further studies next?”

“Anyway, thank you very much this time, Mr. Xiang Yuan.”

“Let’s have a good get-together when I come back from abroad.”

“Well, goodbye, Mr. Xiang Yuan.”

Asanami put his palms together and smiled.

He bowed slightly, turned around and left with the music score left by his father.

Watching Ma Cheng’s figure gradually disappear, Xiang Yuanguang put his hands in his coat pockets and shrugged.

“Well, goodbye, Asanami. I hope we’ll have a chance to meet again in the future.”

Tick, tick, tick.

The footsteps were approaching Yuan Guang, and this time, it was Kuma Sukawa who came.

To be precise, it was Kuma Sukawa who changed back into normal clothes and no longer disguised himself as Prosecutor Gold.

He was still holding the coffee in his hand, but it was in a new cup. He watched Ma Cheng Shi leave, subconsciously took a sip of coffee, and then said with emotion.

“I never thought you would use this method to prove the establishment of a heroin transaction. You are amazing.”

“I never thought I could do this.”

Turning his head towards Yuan Guang, his gaze moved downward and rested on Kuma Sukawa’s coffee cup.

(Uh, is this an illusion? I feel like Kuma really likes drinking coffee recently.)
(Is it because of Gold’s character? As expected, Gold is a man with a lot of sins.)
He thought of the absent Guiyue Liuyun and asked with some confusion.

“Kuma, why did Kigetsu Ryuun miss the trial? He realized the badness of the case and wanted to avoid ending his undefeated record, so he lied about being injured and was urgently transferred back to his previous district prosecutor’s office.”

“Or was Guiyue Liuyun really attacked by someone and had to leave the table and seek emergency shelter?”

“Oh, well… who knows? It’s not impossible that it’s both.”

Kuma Sukawa took a sip of coffee, rubbed his forehead, and tried to wake himself up.

Then he patted Xiang Yuanguang on the shoulder and said.

“This time it’s just like what I said before, don’t mention my name, I don’t like to be too famous.”

“Just do what you did in the Grand Inquisition before, and make everyone think that this friend is Arita Ryosuke.”

“Okay, Xiang Yuan, the reporters have been waiting outside for a long time… Go and enjoy your hard-earned victory.” Hard-earned… right?

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and walked towards the main entrance of the courtroom without saying anything more.

Arita Ryosuke was already leaning against the door, waiting for him to come over.

Kuma Sukawa stood on the other side, holding a cup of coffee, thinking quietly about something.

When Xiang Yuanguang was about to reach the end of the corridor, Kuma Sukawa suddenly spoke.

“You asked someone to make those two invitations, right? And the second radio was played by Masanobu.”

“Although you skipped this point in court, I could sense that… Masashi was really going to kill someone.”

“His murderous intention is genuine. Aren’t you afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain?”

(Do you realize this…?)

Xiang Yuanguang shook his head slightly. He did not expect that his method would allow these detectives or prosecutors with superior reasoning ability to ignore this point for long, but as long as it was not raised directly in the trial, it was enough.

He stood there and spoke calmly.

“No, I’ve checked it and he no longer has any intention of killing anyone.”

“If Masashi kills someone anyway… I will send him to jail myself.”

(I see…)
Kuma Sukawa seemed to be thinking about something.

Tick, tick, tick.

Xiang Yuanguang arrived at the main entrance of the courtroom, but there was no joy on his face.

Feeling the warm sunshine, looking towards the dark corner…there was nothing there.

(Kuma Sukawa… Was it you who attacked Kigetsu Ryuun?)
Xiang Yuanguang silently reviewed the entire case in his mind, and ultimately did not say much.

—————April 20, 3:25 p.m.—————

—————Kumimon Office, Main Hall——————

《The Argumentative Magician, in the name of law and justice! Blowing a wind of dissent into the mystery! 》

“The undefeated lawyer who has been silent for three years, Gu Meimen appears in court! A murder case is reversed overnight!”

In a small villa far away from the commercial district, the famous lawyer Kensuke Kumimon raised the newspaper in his hand and held it high.

“Wow? No way, this doesn’t match my worth. I should be the one making the headlines.”

“Shouldn’t I, the ace lawyer, be better than that rookie who appeared in court twice and lost once?”

Hattori, Gumeimen’s butler, cleared the dishes on the table, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

However, the only lawyer in the Kumimoto office, Machiko Dai, holds the opposite attitude.

She had a lot of architecture-related knowledge in her hands and spoke to her boss very impolitely.

“I think it’s people like Attorney Xiang Yuan who fight for justice and turn the case around.”

“He’s much better than you. He’s been in danger several times but he still insisted on defending me.”

“what?”

Gu Meimon threw the newspaper aside, stood up angrily, and glanced at the book in Dai Machiko’s hand.

“It’s ridiculous that a newbie like you would take on a construction-related job when you know nothing about anything.”

“And I am an ace lawyer who will never fail. I am no better than the lawyer who has a 50% winning rate.”

“The most important thing is that lawyers are not gods at all. It is too arrogant to judge others from the perspective of justice.”

“In the end, I guess it was definitely some huge defense fee that turned the situation around and won—————”

“In short, there is no such thing as “justice” in the courtroom. There is only “fairness”!”

Because Kumimon spoke too quickly, Dai Machiko didn’t hear anything clearly, so she blinked.

I only heard the last sentence of Gu Meimen clearly.

“In the court of justice, [victory is justice]!”
