In Detective Conan, you call this just an ordinary lawyer?

Inspector Megure was very dissatisfied because Issho Takahashi was a criminal!

Sato Miwako, a police officer, was unhappy that she helped a criminal.

Inspector Megure was slightly dissatisfied with Kensuke Komikado's refusal.

But he couldn't force Kensuke Komikado to do anything, because the other party was a lawyer, not a policeman.

"Professionalism..."

A mocking smile played on Inspector Megure's lips.

"Having professional ethics is very good."

"However, if Miwako doesn't pay your legal fees, I wonder if you can still maintain your professional ethics?"

Kensuke Komikado shrugged in the face of Inspector Megure's "threat".

"I'm sorry, Inspector Megure, Inspector Sato has already paid all my legal fees."

"I've never been one to advocate for refunding lawyer fees."

"Unless we lose the case."

"Of course, I haven't lost a case yet."

Seeing Komikado Kensuke's slightly indifferent smile, Inspector Megure felt a bit annoyed and angry.

"What exactly is Miwako doing? Why is she helping that criminal?"

Kensuke Komikado looked at Juichi Megure with a mocking smile.

Why did she help Takahashi Issho? Doesn't Inspector Megure know?

The assault case involving Takahashi Ichisho two years ago was presided over by Sato Miwako.

Takahashi Issho has been appealing his case, maintaining his innocence.

Officer Sato is doing the same thing.

Megure Juzo remained silent; he had heard Sato Miwako mention the case of Takahashi Issho before.

But two years have passed since that case.

He usually handles many cases, and when he occasionally hears Sato Miwako talk about some of them, he doesn't remember them very clearly.

It wasn't until today, when Takahashi Issho was arrested, that I recalled and had some recollection of this case.

But....

The fact that Takahashi Issho was convicted proves that the case was not wrongly judged at the time.

Or rather, after submitting the relevant evidence, the verdict had no further relevance to Miwako Sato.

What does Miwako Sato have to feel guilty about?

As a police officer dealing with criminals, one should not exhibit such emotions.

Without saying a word, Inspector Megure left the hall.

Kensuke Komikado watched Inspector Megure's figure gradually disappear into the distance, then looked again at the police officer beside him.

"Please take me to see my client, Takahashi Issho."

"etc."

Conan interrupted the conversation between Kensuke Komikado and the police officer.

"Attorney Komikado, Yamagami's actions last time could be considered just, and there was nothing wrong with you defending him. But this time, Takahashi Issho has indeed committed murder."

"He wanted to kill Ms. Kataoka Yumi, why...?"

"Little brat."

Kensuke Komikado held up a finger, signaling Conan to be quiet.

"You're probably wondering why I'm helping Takahashi Issei, right?"

"I can answer you with absolute certainty on that point, because I received the money."

"As a lawyer, I naturally have to consider the employer's interests when I take money."

Conan: "But...you're going to lose this case!"

"Why?" Kensuke Komikado looked at Conan with great interest.

"Because all the means were legal, Takahashi Issho did not have depression or mental illness. He was just a criminal suspect who wanted to take revenge on someone he had killed after being released from prison."

"Not bad."

Kensuke Komikado chuckled: "You've improved, kid. You're even summarizing your past failures now."

"But has anyone ever told you that all methods are legal, and that one can be innocent without depression or mental illness?"

"impossible."

Conan quickly shook his head in denial.

"Nothing is impossible, especially the case of Takahashi Issho... well, I'm not going to talk to you about it, kid, lest it affect the outcome of the trial."

Kensuke Komikado waved his hand, not continuing his conversation with Conan, and instead followed the police officer to meet Issho Takahashi.

Conan stared at Kensuke Komikado's retreating figure, and couldn't help but frown.

In this case, will Kensuke Komikado still be required to plead not guilty?

But how could that be?

Conan shook his head, feeling that a not-guilty plea was absolutely impossible in this case.

After all, he conducted the investigation and evidence collection in this case through legal channels.

In other aspects, they also did their homework.

But for some reason, Conan always felt uneasy.

"Never mind, let's go with Ran to find Aunt Eri and ask her opinion on this case."

Aunt Eri Kisaki is the queen of the legal profession; she definitely knows the most appropriate way to handle this case.

Conan muttered to himself.

.....

Meanwhile, Kensuke Komikado followed the police officers to Issho Takahashi's interrogation room.

When Takahashi saw Kensuke Komikado dressed in a formal suit with a lawyer's badge from the Bar Association pinned to his chest, he instinctively looked at the police officer.

"This is your lawyer."

Hire a lawyer....

Where did the lawyer come from?

Takahashi Kazuki clearly remembered that he had never hired any lawyer. How did this lawyer become his lawyer?

Kensuke Komikado noticed the confusion in Kazuo Takahashi's eyes and explained.

"It was Officer Sato who contacted me after hearing about your arrest and asked me to be your lawyer."

"Miwako Sato?"

Takahashi chuckled and said, "She's a police officer, why would she help me?"

"I will not accept her help!"

Takahashi Kazuki recalled the predicament he had been in when he was slandered, and shame and anger rose up on his face.

At the time, his career was on the rise, but he met Kataoka Yumi and was falsely accused of being a rapist, which led to his imprisonment.

In just two years, his reputation and career have been ruined.

Miwako Sato is the police officer in charge of his case, and he can't forgive her.

Kensuke Komikado supported his body with his hand, leaned to one side, and nodded slightly.

"That case back then had a significant impact on you, Mr. Takahashi."

"Of course, if you don't accept Officer Sato's help, that's no problem for me. I've already received my legal fees anyway."

"However, this time I'm afraid I'll face ten years in prison, and I'll never be able to overturn the injustice you suffered back then, Mr. Takahashi."

After finishing his speech, Kensuke Komikado stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Attorney Komikado."

Takahashi Issho called out to Komikado Kensuke.

"You mean you have a way to help me overturn the false verdict against me?"

Kensuke Komikado: "I'm fairly confident, so I can give it a try."

"I'm sorry, Attorney Komikado. I acted impulsively just now. Can we sit down and continue our discussion?"

Takahashi Kazuki changed his attitude from before, his voice now filled with a pleading inquiry.

"sure."

Kensuke Komikado smiled and sat down again.

"But I don't have that much patience to listen to your useless talk."

"You need to assure me that everything you say is the truth."

"Understood, Attorney Komikado."

Takahashi Kazuki bowed his head and said, "I'll do anything you ask as long as you can get my old case overturned."
