Seeing that the person in the way had left, Kawakami Tomie immediately sat down and said with an unfriendly expression, "That person is dead..."

Kiyokawa Kiri knew which one she was referring to; it was probably the Yakuza who had first attacked her.

However, it was also the first time he realized that his power was incredibly great. According to Omi Kin, it was only a short-term increase. Since he had never felt it before, Kiyokawa Kiri naturally had no restraint when he attacked.

He estimated that even if the broken ribs hadn't pierced the lungs, the person would have had a hard time surviving given the injuries they sustained.

However, the thought of killing someone for no reason still made Kiyokawa Kiri feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"It was unexpected; I never imagined it would turn out like this..."

"Yeah?"

Tomie Kawakami carefully examined the other person.

She didn't really care whether anyone died or not, since those involved were all Yakuza with criminal records.

If someone like that dies, they're dead. Do you expect the triad to hire someone to fight the case?

The lawyer she hired was very skilled at using various legal provisions to resolve this kind of trouble. On the way there, he assured her that he could perfectly resolve this case, not only allowing Kiyokawa to escape unscathed, but also sending the other Yakuza to jail for a while.

It's only because this is Japan. If this were America, according to her lawyer, they would at least pin a few charges on that dead man.

It seems a bit absurd, but the Japanese police of this era couldn't care less about the opinions of gangs.

Kawakami Tomie knew the result in advance, so she wasn't too worried. She was more curious about how Kiyokawa Kiri managed to do it—it seemed that the other party really did have an incredible ability, just like her.

Her earlier guess was correct.

"Don't worry, Kiyokawa-san..."

The lawyer standing to the side was very good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that the two of them had fallen silent at the same time, he took the initiative to step forward.

"Ultimately, this incident was caused by the other party striking first. Our firm has extensive experience in handling these types of cases."

The middle-aged lawyer spoke slowly and deliberately, but with a strong sense of confidence.

Their agency has a very close working relationship with the Kawakami family. After all, Tomie Kawakami's parents left behind a large inheritance after their death. This inheritance was managed by various agencies until she came of age, and they received huge sums of money every year.

Moreover, they are different from ordinary litigators; they are one of Japan's top law firms.

With them handling the case, it's truly negligible.

Kiyokawa Kiri could even go home now, and he wouldn't need to personally handle the subsequent cases; he could simply leave everything to them.

"Is everything alright now?" Kiyokawa Kiri asked hesitantly. "I have a younger sister. I wonder if I could ask you to bail her out as well?"

"Is this Ms. Kawamata?"

The middle-aged lawyer immediately understood.

Before he arrived, he had already contacted his friends within the Metropolitan Police Department and learned the whole story.

After all, this is also a lawyer's job. He has to figure out the details of the case in advance to avoid giving others any leverage later. As someone from a well-known firm, he has quite a wide network of connections in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Kawamata Kayako's troubles are slightly less than Kiyokawa Kiri's, since the latter didn't even make a move.

The one who actually did the work was the little black cat.

But strictly speaking, the little black cat was just a stray cat, and it had long since disappeared. Naturally, the police couldn't blame Kawamata Kayako. Otherwise, if it were reported by reporters, the Metropolitan Police Department's top officials would have to perform a 90-degree bow in front of the camera again.

For a middle-aged lawyer, resolving this problem is very easy.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that he did his friend in the Metropolitan Police Department a favor, and the other party should be thanking him instead.

"Ms. Kawamata will be alright, but her guardian hasn't shown up yet, so we might have to wait a while..."

The middle-aged lawyer spoke politely and calmly, saying, "Leave this matter to me."

"I will wait here for Ms. Kawamata's mother to appear. Kiyokawa-san can go home and get some rest now."

Having power and influence is indeed powerful...

Hearing what the middle-aged lawyer said, Kiyokawa Kiri finally felt relieved.

He didn't want to go home by himself, but Kayako Kawamata didn't come back. By some twist of fate, she turned evil. When she becomes Kayako, the "Ju-on," she will probably come looking for him after killing everyone else.

This is not the ending he wanted to see.

Therefore, he breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that Kayako Kawamata would also be alright.

"Let's go, I'll go back with you." Kawakami Tomie stood up and said calmly, "I also have a lot of things I want to ask you, we can talk about them on the way back."

"Um......"

After hearing what Kawakami Tomie said, Kiyokawa Kiri hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

And so, with the help of his lawyer, he emerged from the interrogation room without breaking a sweat.

Once outside the headquarters, a cold wind blew by, and Kiyokawa Kiri felt much more refreshed.

At this moment, Kawakami Tomie had already walked ahead. She glanced at Kiyokawa Kiri out of the corner of her eye, and after seeing that the other party had caught up, she said succinctly, "It was too hasty. You shouldn't have killed him like that..."

"I didn't expect this either, but there's nothing more to say now that things have come to this." Kiyokawa Kiri sighed.

"I don't mean to blame you. What I mean is, if you're going to kill someone, you can't do it in front of your own house. Someone will find out."

Tomie Kawakami's expression remained indifferent, but what she said sent chills down one's spine.

Killing someone seemed like nothing to her. Even though Kiyokawa Kiri knew beforehand, her eyelids still twitched when she heard it.

Fortunately, Tomie Kawakami didn't dwell on the topic too much and quickly asked, "And what's your relationship with that little girl named Kawamata?"

This time, her tone became much lower.

Clearly, she was more concerned about Kiyokawa Kiri's relationship with Kawamata Kayako than about Kiri accidentally killing the Yakuza.

Their relationship has grown closer over the past few days, and it is because of this that Kawakami Tomie has gradually come to understand what kind of person Kiyokawa Kiri is. Although she is usually a bit taciturn, she is very good at cooking and has an unusual side, but she seems to be a neutral and kind person.

Kiyokawa Kirito, for the sake of Kawamata Kayako, actually fought with the Yakuza and even killed one of them.

This puzzled Tomie Kawakami greatly, and it also made her more alert.

"You wouldn't like a girl who's much younger than you, would you?" she questioned.
