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

"Attorney Komikado."

"I'm Eri Kisaki from Kisaki Law Firm. It's nice to meet you."

With a smile on her lips, Eri Kisaki extended her hand to Kensuke Komikado.

Kensuke Komikado was tidying up his materials when he saw Eri Kisaki walk over to greet him. He looked up, extended his hand, and gave her a professional smile.

"Hello, Attorney Eri Kisaki."

Today, Eri Kisaki wore a dark blue professional fitted waist suit, paired with matching suit trousers and mid-heel leather shoes. Her large black-rimmed glasses gave her a strong businesswoman image.

After a simple handshake, Kensuke Komikado withdrew his hand and took the initiative to ask a question.

"Attorney Eri Kisaki, what brings you here?"

When Eri heard this question, her eyes showed even more appreciation for Kensuke Komikado.

In Tokyo, hierarchical relationships are quite deeply ingrained. As the legal queen of Tokyo's legal profession, most lawyers in Tokyo have heard of her.

Everyone addresses her as "Eri-senpai" (senior).

Kensuke Komikado wasn't intimidated at all, and she admired the young man in front of her for that.

After all, she didn't like the hierarchical atmosphere in Tokyo.

In response to the inquiry, Eri Kisaki replied.

"I heard that a very young and capable lawyer has appeared in Tokyo."

Not only is he highly knowledgeable in law, but he also possesses strong reasoning abilities.

Why don't you try to deduce why I'm looking for you?

Eri Kisaki's gaze swept over Kensuke Komikado.

She wanted to see if the young lawyer in front of her was really good at reasoning.

If that's the case, then she would consider collaborating with Komekado Law Firm.

She had heard that the Komekado Law Firm had plans to expand.

She wouldn't mind introducing some cases or connections to outstanding up-and-coming lawyers like Kensuke Komikado.

Kensuke Komikado knew Eri Kisaki's thoughts and was also aware that Eri Kisaki, known as the queen of the legal world, held a very high position in Tokyo's legal community.

If we can cooperate with Fei Law Firm, it will be beneficial to my own law firm.

Moreover...

It is also helpful in terms of networking.

Kensuke Komikado smiled and nodded, pointing to Conan behind Eri Kisaki.

"If I'm not mistaken, Attorney Eri, the reason you're attending this trial is because that brat had your daughter, Ran Mouri, invite you here."

"And you, after hearing that I was the one who defended the Yamagami shooting case, had the idea of ​​meeting a newly emerging famous lawyer in Tokyo."

"As for why they contacted me after the trial, based on my reasoning..."

"Attorney Eri, you probably want to ask me some questions about this case."

"Is it right?"

"good."

clap clap.

Eri Kisaki clapped her hands: "Attorney Komikado, your reasoning is absolutely correct."

"Attorney Komikado, could you elaborate on the specific issues I have?"

Eri Kisaki's eyes were filled with interest in Kensuke Komikado, not in any other way, but in the joy of seeing such an outstanding junior.

Kensuke Komikado spoke with a smile.

"First of all, Attorney Eri Kisaki must be very curious as to why I would plead not guilty when the prosecutor has so much evidence."

"Secondly, you may also want to know why I know the real reason why Kataoka Yumi slandered Takahashi Issei."

"Thirdly, it was something I said to Kataoka Yumi during our conversation that made her admit that she had slandered Takahashi Kazue."

Eri nodded, a smile playing on her lips.

"Your guess was right. These are all the questions I wanted to know, and you've answered them all."

"No, there's one more question. After you ask these three questions, Attorney Eri, you'll probably ask me how you plan to arrange the retrial of Takahashi Issho's assault case."

"Um?"

Eri Kisaki glanced at Kensuke Komikado unconsciously.

Then, he put himself in the shoes of someone who had actually asked those questions and received a response; he would indeed ask this last question.

Eri Kisaki couldn't help but smile and nod.

"You're right, that's exactly what I would ask."

"Then, could you please answer my question, Attorney Komikado?"

There's nothing that can't be answered.

Kensuke Komikado explained these issues.

"The first reason is because of my responsibility as a lawyer; I am responsible for my clients. Similarly, I have confidence in myself."

"Moreover, although the prosecutor has evidence, the proposed ten-year sentence is too heavy. Even if an acquittal or a reduced sentence cannot be achieved, a reduction in sentence is entirely possible."

"The second question, the truth about Kataoka Yumi slandering Takahashi Issei, was deduced by me through clues obtained from some special channels."

"As for the third question, it's very simple. I just told Kataoka Yumi what the possible consequences of not admitting it were, and let her make her own choice as to whether to admit it or not."

"As for the fourth question, you'll find out later, Attorney Eri."

Kensuke Komikado gave a general answer to the questions, and Eri Kisaki nodded thoughtfully.

At that moment, Conan, standing to the side, said something seemingly casually.

"Attorney Komikado, you say you have access to some special channels and have deduced the truth of the matter."

"Did you use any illegal means?"

"I remember you, Attorney Komikado, telling me that illegally obtained evidence is not protected by law, right?"

Kensuke Komikado looked at Conan, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Asking that question makes you seem very foolish."

"madness?"

Conan frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Illegal evidence is indeed not protected by law, but the truth I stated in court does not count as evidence."

Furthermore, your assertion that illegally obtained evidence is not protected by law suggests that you subconsciously believe that the means by which I obtained the truth were illegal.

But why do you have this subconscious thought?

"I..." Conan opened his mouth, wanting to deny it, but he didn't know how to deny it, because Kensuke Komikado had spoken his thoughts out loud.

He genuinely believed that Kensuke Komikado obtained the truth through illegal means.

"Conan, you shouldn't have misunderstood others like that. Apologize."

Ran Mouri said somewhat angrily.

Conan shook his head, giving a stubborn reply.

"Sister Xiaolan, I was just curious. After all, very few people know this truth. I won't apologize."

"Furthermore, Attorney Komikado did not deny whether he used illegal means to find out the truth."

Ran Mouri: "Conan, that's very rude of you."

Kensuke Komikado lowered his head, smiled, and patted Conan's head.

"Is your process of finding out the truth illegal? I can say with certainty that it is legal."

"As for manners, it's okay. Kids are naturally curious."

"Right?"

Seeing Kensuke Komikado's slightly professional smile, Conan was a little defensive. He's not a child!
