More than just confident, Kuniyoshi An'e looked at Yokomizo Sango with an expression of amusement, never expecting that Yokomizo Sango would actually want to sue Eri Kisaki.

This look made Yokomizo Sango very unhappy, but immediately someone with inside information whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening to his subordinate's report, Yokomizo Sango also gasped in shock.

There really is a female lawyer in Tokyo who has a 100% success rate and is known as the "Queen of Law."

In Tokyo, Eri Kisaki has been embroiled in personnel disputes with the prosecutor's office for many years, and she has consistently emerged victorious.

It was clearly unlikely that the local procuratorate could stand up to her.

Therefore, Yokomizo Sango focused his attention on Naguni Yasuo and his brother. If these two suspects came forward to accuse Takayanagi Ichiro of instigating them to commit murder, then it might be possible to bring down Takayanagi Ichiro.

“Officer Yokomizo, we were not instigated by anyone; we have always wanted revenge.”

At this point, Katsufumi Mian made his stance clear: he would definitely not collude with the police to frame Ichiro Takayanagi.

Logically speaking, Katsufumi Watanabe and his brother should be grateful to Ichiro Takayanagi.

If Ichiro Takayanagi had called the police directly after learning the whole truth and let them handle the aftermath, they would never have been able to kill Michitoshi Sekiguchi, the culprit.

Therefore, a situation has arisen that is unfavorable to Takayanagi Ichiro, and it is only natural that Watanabe Katsufumi and his brother should choose to help Takayanagi Ichiro.

Katsufumi's younger brother remained silent at this moment, but his silence was tantamount to acquiescence, meaning that Eri's idea had completely failed.

“Mr. Takayanagi, what I just said was a complete joke.”

People like you are very friendly to us police officers; I would never prosecute you.

Just then, the police officers who had gone up to the third floor to rescue Sekiguchi Michitoshi's body came down and took the watch off Sekiguchi Michitoshi's wrist.

"According to what you just said, the coordinates of the sea area where the initial test was conducted should be engraved on this table."

I will contact the search and rescue company, but the police cannot afford the search and rescue costs; you will need to cover those expenses.

Yokomizo Sango did not linger on the matter of instigating murder and immediately changed the subject.

"We've covered the search costs for Officer Yokomizo. We just hope they can step up their efforts and find the three people from back then as soon as possible."

At this time, Guoyou Anrong stated that they would cover all the search and rescue costs, as this was a way to atone for their sins.

"No, there should be four people. The deceased who was placed on the oar was also a pitiful person. The police should notify their family members later."

"Mr. Takayanagi, you are right, this was our oversight."

Once we have completed the investigation and have had them cooperate with the investigation, we will notify the family of the deceased.

Since they can't directly harm Takayanagi Ichiro, they might as well cooperate with him. Yokomizo Sango is a very adaptable police officer.

Since Yokomizo Sango was so fickle, Takayanagi Ichiro had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

Finally, the body of Michitoshi Sekiguchi, along with Katsufumi Mian and his brother, were taken away by the police.

Logically speaking, everyone else in the manor should have gone there to cooperate with the investigation.

However, he couldn't afford to offend Takayanagi Ichiro. Kunimoto Junta and Kunimoto An'ei were extremely wealthy, and the other three staff members were victims of a case from thirteen years ago.

There's no need to relive the pain for them. Let's wait until things are mostly resolved before involving them again.

After the police left, the security company personnel had a brief exchange with Junta Kuniyoshi and An'ei Kuniyoshi.

Finding that there was no problem here, he immediately turned around and left.

After all, a murder had occurred, and they were unwilling to stay there for long.

"Mr. Takayanagi, the matter has been perfectly resolved, and I thank you for your efforts."

Kuniyoshi An'ei bowed to Takayanagi Ichiro to express his gratitude.

It was because of Ichiro Takayanagi's appearance that both this supernatural incident and the shipwreck incident thirteen years ago were perfectly resolved.

Chapter 703 I Give Myself to You

"The reason I came here this time is entirely because of Mr. Guan Jiang's invitation. After completing the commission, I should be given corresponding compensation."

Although I don't particularly like compensation, I believe that doing something deserves some form of reward.

The reason why Kuniyoshi Junta and Kuniyoshi An'ei did not die was entirely because their actions did not constitute a capital offense.

The main reason they survived was because they actively made amends after the incident. Ichiro Takayanagi would not help others kill innocent people for no reason.

"Of course, no problem, we will definitely offer very good compensation."

However, it's getting late, so please, Mr. Takayanagi, get some rest. We will definitely follow up on this matter properly tomorrow.

They've had quite a few shocks today, so Kunimoto Junta and Kunimoto An'ei both need a good rest. They also need to consider what kind of compensation to offer Takayanagi Ichiro.

Hearing this, Ichiro Takayanagi did not refuse, as he also hoped to get some rest as soon as possible.

Now, Kuniyu Junta and Kuniyu An'ei are no longer resting on the third floor. Although it seems a bit safe, they were still breached by Minamoto Katsufumi and his younger brother.

So they rested on the second floor, while Ichiro Takayanagi had to be accommodated on the first floor.

However, just as Ichiro Takayanagi closed the door to rest, there was indeed a knock on his door.

I initially thought it was Guo Youanrong, since he had shown a rather eager look in his eyes earlier.

But when the door opened, the person who appeared was actually Senzaki Namika.

"Miss Namikawa, is there something you need? And surely the second floor is a chasm for you?"

Senzaki Namika suffers from acrophobia. The tree she fell from was about the height of a second floor, so the second floor was a significant chasm for her.

"Since meeting Kenji's younger brother, my fear seems to have completely disappeared."

I've come here to see Mr. Takayanagi because I want to have a talk with you.

Since Senzaki Namika had said so, Takayanagi Ichiro did not intend to stop him.

Senzaki Namika made way for him and entered Takayanagi Ichiro's room.

Takayanagi Ichiro's room was tidied by Senzaki Namika's mother, Senzaki Shigeko, who was a very capable housekeeper, so the room did not embarrass Senzaki Namika.

Instead of sitting on the sofa in the room, he chose to sit on the bed that belonged to Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Mr. Takayanagi, did you know the whole truth in advance, and even let Katsufumi Watanabe and his brother kill Michitoshi Sekiguchi to avenge their blood relatives?"

Yokomizo Sango had asked this question once before, and he had also criticized Takayanagi Ichiro, believing that Takayanagi Ichiro was instigating others to commit crimes.

Unfortunately, Takayanagi Ichiro had a very powerful female lawyer behind him, so Yokomizo Sango dared not pursue Takayanagi Ichiro any further and could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Now it was Senzaki Namika's turn to be alone with Takayanagi Ichiro, so Senzaki Namika asked this question.

"Yes, I saw you in the yard before, and then I learned that Katsufumi Mianji's younger brother was not dead."

Instead, he infiltrated the manor and met the brothers upstairs.

I certainly had the opportunity to stop those two brothers from committing murder, and if I had done so, they would have hated me for the rest of their lives.

But now I haven't caused any setbacks, and I've even helped them find the remains of their loved ones. They should consider me their benefactor.

"If Miss Namikawa wants to report me, you can do so anytime; I'm not worried at all."

At this point, Ichiro Takayanagi directly admitted that he knew the whole truth and did not stop Katsufumi Watanabe and his brother from seeking revenge.

He wasn't worried about Senzaki Namika reporting him, because the female lawyer behind him could handle all the problems.

To Takayanagi Ichiro's surprise, Senzaki Namika actually got up from the bed at this moment and bowed deeply to Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Mr. Takayanagi, I didn't mean to report you, but rather to thank you."

When I learned the truth, I was filled with hatred for Michitoshi Sekiguchi, wishing I could kill him myself.

Unfortunately, I simply don't have that kind of ability. The fact that Katsufumi Mian and his brother were able to do those things makes us all feel uneasy.

However, since they intentionally injured someone this time, they are likely to be sentenced to a more severe punishment.

So I would like to ask Mr. Takayanagi, is it possible for you to help them reduce their sentences?

Senzaki Namika revealed her purpose for coming: to get a reduced sentence for Katsufumi Watanabe and his brother, since they had indeed injured someone.

If they're just playing pranks, they can all help me solve the problem in their own way.

However, they do not have the power to injure anyone right now, so Senzaki Namika places all her hopes on Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Of course, there is a responsibility to be held accountable for murder, just like Michitoshi Sekiguchi."

He killed his boss and caused others to fall into the sea. More than ten years later, he was killed by the Katsufumi brothers.

While it's true that Katsufumi Mian and his brother killed Michitoshi Sekiguchi for the sake of their scholarship, which is commendable, I'm not saying that their actions would warrant a reduction in their sentences.

It's a tacit understanding and a balance; if they were to gain any special advantages, society would descend into chaos.

So I hope you understand, Miss Waveflower, that we are all playing by the rules.

Ichiro Takayanagi certainly had the ability to help Katsufumi Watanabe and his brother get their sentences reduced, but it was completely unnecessary.

He came here this time because of Kogoro Mouri's excuse, and he will leave after getting some benefits tomorrow.

There's no need to stay here for an extended period of time or get involved in anything.

Takayanagi Ichiro's refusal did not surprise Senzaki Namika at all, since Takayanagi Ichiro's purpose in coming here was quite simple.

Senzaki Namika walked towards the switch, pressed it twice, and the lights in the room immediately became softer. She then began to remove the restraints from her body.

“Mr. Takayanagi, I personally have no bargaining chips, but I am willing to give myself to you.”

We hope you can help these two brothers; they shouldn't be treated like criminals.

As she spoke, Senzaki Namika walked towards Takayanagi Ichiro and naturally knelt down in front of him.

Chapter 704 Offers Half the Shares

Senzaki Namika has been working at this manor since she grew up, and she used to always think about the two of them.

One was the younger brother of Katsufumi Mianji, and the other was the matter of his father's remains.

However, both of them had perished in shipwrecks before, so this matter could only be buried in her heart.

However, due to a prank occurring at the manor, Ichiro Takayanagi has come to help resolve the issue.
