Curse Returns: Eight Extraordinary Skills? I lack nothing.

While talking to Sora, Yuuto's eyes remained fixed on his phone.

The case of Taichi Matsumoto remains a hot topic, with every news article accompanied by a barrage of criticism.

Someone dug up a screenshot showing that he didn't cry at his wife's funeral, and the comments section exploded.

"With that expression, I would believe you if you said you were attending a stranger's funeral."

"The murderer has been confirmed."

Yuuto stared at the comments, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

There was no physical evidence, no eyewitnesses, and no tools used in the crime.

The reasons given online for conviction are simply "not crying" and "huge insurance premium," which is utterly absurd.

In the evening, Youren's phone suddenly rang. He took it out of his bag, answered it, and put it on speakerphone:

"Hello, are you Mr. Kasuga Yuuto? I'm from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division..."

After listening to a few words, Yu Ren's expression gradually darkened.

The crime scene in Taichi Matsumoto's case was his apartment.

Police hope he will attend tomorrow's first hearing as the landlord.

"The case has already gone through several rounds of hearings at the police station, and the first trial is tomorrow. As the landlord, if you know the tenant's usual situation, it would be better if you came to observe the proceedings," the other party said.

Yuuto paused for two seconds, then replied, "I understand."

The following afternoon at 2 PM, the Tokyo District Court.

When Yuuto entered courtroom number 103, the gallery was already full.

Most of the people there were media, with their cameras and microphones set up in the back row, while many citizens were also whispering among themselves.

In the dock, Matsumoto Taichi stood all alone.

He was much thinner than I remembered, his face was ashen, his eyes were sunken, and he wore a gray prison uniform. His head was slightly lowered, his shoulders were hunched, and he looked as if all the energy had been drained from him.

To ordinary people, he appears to be a gloomy and suspicious person.

But in Yuuto's eyes, it was a completely different matter.

He exuded an aura of curse, and the surrounding area was filled with cursed power that did not belong to him.

These signs clearly indicate that the person has just been entangled by a high-level cursed spirit.

It is at least a level two cursed spirit.

Once you understand this, everything becomes clear.

How could an ordinary person possibly uncover the truth in a case involving cursed spirits?

They can't even see the cursed spirits, so even if they brought in the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student, it wouldn't make a difference.

It seems necessary to go to Matsumoto Taichi's house tonight to find out what's going on.

If it really was the work of a cursed spirit, then things will be much easier to handle.

As long as he reports it to the Jujutsu Bureau, the Jujutsu Bureau will naturally find a way to exonerate Matsumoto Taichi.

As for the issue of public opinion, the Cursed Arts Hall will handle it entirely.

In order to block all information about the world of jutsu and prevent ordinary people from knowing about it, the Jutsu Agency is arguably the most powerful organization in Japan when it comes to manipulating online public opinion.

They can even make black seem white.

Moreover, as long as a privileged sorcerer like Yuuto speaks up, and as long as the reason is reasonable, they will never refuse.

A male lawyer was sitting in the defense seat.

He was around thirty years old, with slightly disheveled brown hair, wearing a sharp suit, and a cold expression. He was looking down at documents, occasionally glancing up at the defendant's dock with focused and sharp eyes.

Yu Ren looked at the lawyer and felt that the world was too surreal.

Seriously? I can't believe I ran into this?

Chapter 34 Seven Seas Builders

The sun shines brightly.

The 211 of the sorcery world.

Before becoming a sorcerer, his life experience was that of an elite among elites.

He graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo and passed the old bar exam on his first attempt—at that time, the pass rate was only two percent—before the introduction of the law school system in Japan. He was a recognized legal genius.

After becoming a sorcerer, he immediately awakened his domain and became a first-level sorcerer in twelve days through self-study. He instantly comprehended the reversal technique in battle, and even Sukuna evaluated his talent as being comparable to Gojo Satoru.

Once everyone had arrived, the trial officially began.

The prosecutor stood up and said in a loud and clear voice: "The facts of this case are clear and the evidence is conclusive."

"After his wife was murdered, the defendant, Yoshikazu Miura, not only did not show the grief he should have, but was unusually calm."

"This unusual attitude proves that he had planned this all along!"

He pressed the remote control, and a photo immediately popped up on the big screen.

Matsumoto Tai stood there expressionless.

"This is a photo of the defendant at his wife's funeral. Please look at it. Does this look like the expression of someone who has lost his wife?"

A commotion broke out in the gallery, and someone muttered "scumbag."

Hiromi Hirakawa slowly rose to his feet, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. He was already prepared to face this rabble alone.

"be opposed to."

"The prosecution's use of the defendant's emotional reaction as a basis for conviction is completely unscientific."

“Post-traumatic emotional reactions vary from person to person and should never be used as evidence of presumption of guilt.”

The judge struck the gavel, delivering a clearly biased ruling:

"Objection overruled. The defense attorney may continue speaking, but please be mindful of your wording."

Nichi sat down, his expression not changing much, but Yuuto noticed that his fingers tightened slightly as he gripped the documents.

The prosecution continued to present evidence, offering what they believed to be irrefutable arguments:

"The polygraph report showed that the defendant exhibited slight emotional fluctuations when answering whether he killed his wife."

"A 100 million yen life insurance policy, with Matsumoto Taichi as the beneficiary, is sufficient to constitute a motive for murder."

"The above evidence is sufficient to convict the defendant!" The prosecutor closed the case file and looked at the judge.

Hiromi Hinoshita launched another defense, summoning Taichi Matsumoto's neighbors, colleagues, and even the convenience store clerk downstairs.

Everyone can attest that the Matsumoto couple had a harmonious relationship, and Matsumoto Taichi was quiet yet gentle, never arguing with anyone.

"So what if you have a good relationship? It's precisely because you have a good relationship that it's easier for love to turn into hate." The prosecutor sneered, completely refuting this viewpoint.

The Japanese car ignored the accusations and continued to present evidence.

He was very well prepared, and this wasn't his only preparation.

He produced a document that clearly stated that Matsumoto Taichi himself had also taken out a 100 million yen insurance policy, with Matsumoto Yumi as the beneficiary.

The Japanese car held up the document, its tone resolute:

"Insurance is a joint decision made by the couple, with each being the beneficiary of the other, and therefore should not be used as evidence for conviction."

"Furthermore, there is no physical evidence, no eyewitnesses, and no murder weapon in this case. The evidence presented by the prosecution is all subjective inference without any scientific basis."

He looked at the judge, his voice calm yet clear: "Presumption of innocence is the most fundamental principle of justice."

The judge remained expressionless and offered no response.

It's not that he doesn't understand this principle, it's just that the pressure from online public opinion is greater.

Currently, public opinion across the internet overwhelmingly believes that Matsumoto Taichi is guilty. If he is found not guilty, he will only be put on the hot seat and may even be doxxed and cyberbullied.

In the audience, someone whispered, "Did that lawyer take bribes?"

Yu Ren turned around and saw that the speaker was a middle-aged man wearing a plaid shirt with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

It was as if what he said was the truth.

The man noticed Yuuto's gaze, but instead gave him a provocative look and even raised his middle finger.

Yu Ren frowned, but a cold glint flashed across his lips as he silently made a hand seal on his knee.

The air behind him distorted slightly, and a level three multi-eyed cursed spirit silently appeared.

More than a dozen pupils rotated simultaneously, locked onto the target, and then swiftly skimmed away along the ground, their bat wings casting menacing shadows under the light.

Yuuto will not take his life directly, but will only punish him slightly.

This cursed spirit will possess him for a week, amplifying his mental and physical stress and causing him to fall seriously ill.

It wasn't fatal.

However, if he continues to do evil during the week, the cursed spirit will stay by his side for an extended period.

Until it wore him down, and even took his life.

Not far away, a blond man watched all of this. Although he was extremely curious about the abilities Yuuto was displaying, he made no move to stop him.

The trial lasted two hours, and the judge delivered the final verdict, announcing the first-instance judgment:

"Although there is no direct physical evidence against the defendant, considering his unusually calm demeanor after the incident, the polygraph test results, and the existence of the 100 million yen insurance money, it is sufficient to establish his guilt..."

In the dock, Matsumoto Taichi lowered his head after hearing the verdict, his body swayed, but he still did not shed a tear.

Yuuto stared at the door through which he had been led away, and suddenly remembered that every time they met, Yuuto would nod slightly in greeting.

"Hello, landlord."

The media area next to me was ablaze with flashes.

"As expected, he was sentenced. He deserved it."

Yuuto got up and walked out, and saw Nichisha on the defense table organizing documents. His expression was still indifferent, but his eyes showed fatigue.

He walked over and looked at Hirokazu Hirokazu:
