I was in Conan, and after picking up Xiao Ai, I was chased by Hongzi.

"Yes." Fei Yingli nodded slightly, "It's just the right time to meet you, Miss Kujo. I have something to tell you."

"What's going on?" Kujo Reiko stopped in front of her.

"Mr. Takeuchi has been detained for some time. Is it almost time to release Mr. Takeuchi?" Fei Yingli leaned forward slightly and looked at Kujo Reiko tentatively. "Not only did he surrender, but he also admitted his crime. He is still Is there any reason to continue to detain him?”

Hearing this, Kujo Reiko gave a faint smile and said, "Please allow me to say one thing, it is up to me, the prosecutor, to decide whether to release the suspect."

The tone is matter-of-fact, and the simple and non-negotiable words directly indicate her attitude.

Fei Yingli was silent for a while and nodded slightly, "Then, I will ask you in court to explain the reasons for the detention."

"Please help yourself." Reiko Kujo bowed to Fei Eri, "I'll excuse you now."

Staring at her back as she turned away, Fei Yingli couldn't help but ask: "What is your purpose? Prosecutor Kujo."

Kujo Reiko paused and turned around:

"I just hope the truth comes out."

Fei Yingli looked directly at her face, "This is not like your style."

Kujo Reiko did not speak again. After a brief nod, she walked away. Perhaps she acquiesced to her words, but she also seemed to have her own considerations.

……

The next day, in the car

Just after returning from the organization, Otoi Hiroshi noticed the text message Mao Lilan sent last night.

So he picked up the Maori father and daughter and Conan at the entrance of the office and set off towards their destination.

"I haven't seen Otoi-nii much recently. What have you been doing?" Conan sat in the back seat with his head in his hands. Although he acted like a child, he seemed to be asking.

Otoi Hiroshi smiled helplessly, "It's really unlucky to say the least. My family has some business in Paris, France that needs to be confirmed. My father recently did something in Antarctica, so he had to ask me to go."

"It's great~" Mao Lilan clung to Otoi Hiroshi's back in admiration, "Paris, known as the romantic city, has wanted to go there for a long time. But why do you say you are unlucky? What did you encounter? Something happened?"

"Perhaps it was not the right time to go." Hiroshi Otoi let out a long sigh and observed Conan's expression through the rearview mirror. "In those few days, we happened to encounter criminal organizations in Paris that caused riots. It is said that the Paris Opera House was destroyed. Burned out the fire..."

"It sounds so dangerous." Mao Lilan's face showed concern, "Hiro... no, I mean Otoi-kun, you haven't encountered any danger."

Otoi Hiroshi joked: "If you are really in danger, will you still see me alive and kicking here?"

"That's right."

Hearing that Otoi Hiroshi was safe and sound, Mao Lilan's heart suddenly dropped.

"After finishing the work, I stayed in the hotel. After the police lifted the blockade, I came back as soon as possible. It is more reassuring for us to stay here."

"Anyway," Conan smiled and crossed his legs, "It's good that Brother Otoi comes back safely~~~"

Otoi Hiroshi curled his lips secretly, which seemed to confirm that Conan had known about his visit to Paris in advance.

Although Hiroki asked Hiroki to block the news afterwards, he may have gotten the news before the matter became serious.

After all, the news that the famous actress Chris Wynyard interviewed the son of the Otoi Foundation was considered a big news in the industry.

"Uncle, speaking of which, what happened today?" Hiroshi Otoi glanced at Kogoro Mouri, who had been sitting in the passenger seat with a dark face since just now.

It was just to liven up the atmosphere and change the topic. In fact, Mao Lilan had briefly told him the general matter in the text message.

And the reason why he gave up his rest and came here directly was because there was something he wanted to verify no matter what.

Of course, Mao Lilan's request is also one side.

"——Really."

Mouri Kogoro put his hands on the window and sighed heavily, "Why do I have to do such a thing..."

"Because this is the job that dad asked mom to do." Mao Lilan crossed her arms and rolled her eyes rudely.

Mouri Kogoro raised his head and curled his lips: "I just did it because the proprietress of the shop I frequented asked me if I knew a better lawyer."

"In the end, it was concealed that this case was handled by Prosecutor Kujo..."

Mao Lilan rolled her eyes at him angrily.

"Kujo, prosecutor?" Hiroshi Otoi asked suddenly.

"That's right." Mao Lilan leaned into his ear, "Prosecutor Kujo, whose real name is Reiko Kujo, is the trump card of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office and is known as the "Madonna of prosecutors." She is a figure who gives her mother a headache. ”

"Hey——" Otoi Hiroshi looked straight ahead, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Is he such a powerful person?"

Mouri Kogoro tried to save his dignity as a father and said nonchalantly: "So what if it's awesome. The client surrendered himself and pleaded guilty. Then we just need to consider the circumstances of the case and try to get a lighter sentence, right?"

"It's a very simple case. It has nothing to do with who the prosecutor is."

"Oh?" Otoi Hiroshi's fingertips kept touching the edge of the steering wheel, "From what the uncle said, there is indeed no controversy."

"That's true. What is Prosecutor Kujo's purpose in doing this?"

Conan sat in the back seat, slowly lowered his head, thinking to himself.

The car gradually fell into a brief silence, traffic surged around, and the occasional cherry blossoms floating in the sky fell lightly on the car window.

Later, everyone arrived at the destination of their trip, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

After arriving, a police officer came up to receive him. Mouri, Kogoro and the other three got out of the car first and followed the police officer inside, while Hiroshi Otoi went to park the car.

He looked in the rearview mirror and saw that Mouri Kogoro and his party were led directly to the storage location of the accident vehicle, and he parked the car in the parking space.

Gently slide open the screen, and there is a picture of a woman on the screen.

——Kujo Reiko.

Although she regards Eri, the queen of the legal profession, as her opponent, she is still pleased with her continuous winning streak because she once said, "It is my duty to defeat her."

Although they are rivals in court, the two are still very close, and there is a sense of sympathy and mutual admiration between strong women.

According to Xiaolan, she had personally witnessed the court showdown between Fei Eri and Kujo Reiko in a previous case, but Hiroshi Otoi was not involved at the time, so she did not know much about this person.

However, after receiving Mao Lilan's text message, he immediately asked Hiroki to conduct a search through the Internet.

After seeing her photo, Otoi Hiroshi immediately determined that Kujo Reiko was the woman he had seen on the boat.

——Kujo Reiko.

That is the woman with the "K" surname that Suzuki Sonoko mentioned.
