Ke Xue's Kogoro

Chapter 385 Court Showdown
The next day, Kogoro visited Suzuki Jirokichi alone.

Suzuki Jirokichi has his own residence. Although it is not as big as the Suzuki family's mansion, it is also a quite luxurious villa.

Following the butler, Kogoro entered the living room, where Suzuki Jirokichi had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother Suzuki, please excuse me."

"Brother Maori, please be polite."

The two greeted each other politely and sat down separately.

Suzuki Jirokichi opened the purple gift box on the coffee table, which contained a purple gemstone ring.

"Lapis Lazuli, Lady of the Sky."

Suzuki Jirokichi introduced: "I originally planned to use this gem as a bait to lure Kidd, but since Brother Maori needs it, I will give it to you directly."

This purple gem ring has a large ring, as long as a finger. It is inlaid with two large and small lapis lazuli stones. An additional pendant is made to hang on the ring, and there is also a small lapis lazuli stone on it.

"Looking at the largest gemstone, there is golden light shining inside, like a star. And the largest piece of gold is completely natural, like the profile of a lady. That's why it is called the lady of the sky."

Kogoro praised, and then said: "But I came here today just to say that my wife doesn't like jewelry very much. It was my wishful thinking before. I'm sorry, brother Suzuki, I don't want this gem any more."

Suzuki Jiro laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter, then I will prepare my original plan and use it to lure that kid Kidd into the bait. This time, I must catch him."

"It seems that my brother has a plan in his chest."

"Not at all. It's better to see the tricks. After losing a few times, I found that the plans I had prepared in advance would be infiltrated by Kidd and I was ready. This time, I will adapt to the situation and use the same to respond to all changes."

"Brother, I have an idea."

"So, Brother Maori, do you want to come together this time?"

Kogoro said curiously: "Hearing what my brother said, it seems that you have a different idea this time?"

"Yes, on my airship, I will give Kidd an invitation to enter the urn, and another urn to catch the turtle."

Kogoro's eyes lit up: "Airship?"

"That's right, I plan to fly from Tokyo to Osaka. These six hours are the time for me and Kidd to fight."

Kogoro said: "Then I have decided, I will take my family to participate. Speaking of it, although my kids are young, they like flying very much, and I will take them out for gliding when the time comes."

Suzuki Jirokichi was taken aback for a moment, and said slowly, "It's amazing."

Soon, Jiro Kichi Suzuki set the time for the duel in half a month, and Kogoro left and went home.

When he got home, Kogoro didn't see Fei Eri, and asked Minaho to find out that Fei Eri and Kuriyama were working on a case in the office.

"Master, looking at Madam, it seems that things are a little tricky."

With Minaho's kind reminder, Kogoro decided to go and have a look.He waved to the two cubs, turned and walked towards the office.

As soon as he entered, he saw Fei Yingli and Kuriyama frowning.

"Eri, what's wrong?"

Fei Yingli showed Kogoro a folder and said, "This is a murder case. The suspect is Toshio Iwamatsu, and Kuriyama is his defense attorney."

Even if you are a murderer, you can hire a lawyer.Even if no one can be hired or no one is willing to defend him, in order to show justice, the court will directly appoint a lawyer to defend him.

While flipping through the documents, Kogoro said, "Since Ms. Kuriyama took the initiative to take over this case, does that mean there must be something hidden?"

Kuriyama said: "Yes, because I have been in contact with the suspect Toshio Iwamatsu, and he has always claimed that he did not kill anyone. He just wanted to steal things from the deceased's house. When he arrived, the person was already dead."

Kogoro said: "However, there are fingerprints, footprints, hair and other physical evidence of Toshio Iwamatsu at the scene, which is very tricky."

"Yes, but there is one thing I care about very much."

"Oh? What is it?"

Kuriyama said: "It's like this. Toshio Iwamatsu called the deceased 'that guy'. Obviously, he knew the deceased. But no matter how I asked, he refused to explain."

Kogoro looked at the message of the deceased, Ishigaki Tadafu, the president of the real estate company, lived in Aketo [-]-chome [-]-fan.The place of death was his study room. The window was broken, and the deceased was stabbed in the abdomen with a sharp knife, bleeding to death.

Toshio Iwamatsu was arrested within 20 minutes after the incident, and his body was stained with the blood of the deceased, which is very fatal.However, the murder weapon has not been found so far, even on Toshio Iwamatsu's escape route, nothing has been found, which is barely good news.

Kogoro continued to look down. The witness in the case was Yuan Xinghui, 66 years old, a domestic helper in the deceased's family. He was usually responsible for cleaning and other tasks and had worked for 5 years.She was the first to find out, but she didn't see the murder.

The second witness is Yoshi Tsukano, 46 ​​years old, the younger brother of the deceased wife, and also an executive in the company of the deceased.At that time, he went to his house to discuss with the deceased about something in the company, and he arrived at the scene after hearing Yuan Xinghui's screams.

Kogoro said: "If Toshio Iwamatsu is not the murderer, then the murderer is likely to be Hara Yukie or Tsukano Kyo."

Fei Yingli said: "We have thought about this idea, but there is no evidence at all. Yuan Xinghui has worked in the deceased's home for 5 years, and the deceased did not have any conflicts with this wife and brother. The motive for the murder is not clear, let alone The murder weapon has not yet been found."

Kogoro said: "Then let's go directly to the scene to see. Is the police officer in charge Sato? I'll contact her to see."

Kuriyama said: "We don't have enough time, because there are less than two hours until the first public trial. Speaking of which, we should rush to the court now and make some preparations."

Kogoro said: "Do it with confidence, and our family will cheer for you."

Li Shan was flattered, and quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Mori, and thank you, lawyer Fei."

After Kogoro gave an order, the family and two cars quickly headed to the nearby Mihua Court.Of course, cubs are definitely not allowed in, and neither is Wang Cai.

So in the end, sisters Xiali took care of the children outside the office hall, while Wangcai was the personal protection.

The Mihua Court is an old court, so it is set up in a comprehensive office building.

Just as he was about to go inside, Kogoro saw Conan and Xiao Ai standing under the notice board, not knowing what they were doing.

Xiao Lan approached and asked, "Conan, Xiao Ai, what are you doing here?"

When Conan saw Fei Yingli and Kuriyama, he immediately understood.

He said: "You are also going to participate in the public trial of the murder of the president of the real estate company, right? Our Mr. Xiaolin was selected as a member of the jury, so we followed along."
