“What do you mean?”
“Backer? Just you?”
“Do you really think you are a big shot who knows both black and white?”
Hibiki Eri sneered.
As a top lawyer in Sakura Country, Hibiki Eri has dealt with the upper class and the rich and powerful.
Although most of the time, she is on the opposite side of these people, she also knows how powerful these people are.
And Itake Karuta is not good enough in front of those rich and powerful people.
“……”
Itake Karuta smiled but said nothing. He had his own way to make Kisaki Eri believe that he was the best backer.
At this time, a faint sound of sirens came from outside the window. More than a dozen police cars stopped in front of the Kawada family ‘s door, and policemen got off one after another. The wall outside the Kawada family’s manor was surrounded, and a policeman stood every ten meters.
The leader was Megure Juzo, and Maori Kogoro stood beside him.
The two rang the doorbell and asked the Kawada family’s housekeeper to notify the head of the family.
“The police are here.”
Hibiki Eri said, looking at Itake Karuta with a vigilant look.
This room is at the back of the manor, so the front door cannot be seen. The manor covers a large area, so even if you shout loudly, it is difficult to attract attention.
It was only after vaguely noticing the red and blue flashing lights of the police sirens that Hibiki Eri deduced that the police had arrived.
Who called the police? How did they know she was here?
However, the Kawada family will definitely find ways to delay time, and the police will not be able to break in for a while.
If the Kawada family cannot resist the police’s search, then before that, Kawada Masato is likely to send someone to transfer her, or take some extreme measures.
“They came pretty fast.”
Itake Karuta smiled, not caring about the situation outside.
Bang!
The door was pushed open violently, hitting the wall with a crashing sound.
A fat man with gray hair rushed in with two bodyguards.
“Lawyer Fei, don’t think that you can leave safely just because the police come!”
“You two, put a bag over her head and follow me.”
The fat man was the head of the Kawada family, Kawada Masato.
Kawada Masato was a rich second-generation. When he was young, he was too indulgent and damaged his body, so that he barely had a son at the age of 40.
Having a son in his old age, and the only child, Kawada Masato loved his son very much and spoiled him.
As a result, his son”accidentally” beat a classmate to death in public on campus some time ago.
After thinking about it, there was really no way, so
Kawada Masato could only invite the best lawyer in Sakura Country, Eri Kisaki, to come over.
“What are you going to do?!”
While scolding, Fei Yingli couldn’t help but look out the window.
Each floor of this western-style manor is five meters high, and the three floors together are nearly 20 meters from the ground.
���If she jumps down from here, she will definitely die or be crippled.
Of course, Hibiki Eri will not be so stupid as to seek death… But if she is forced into a corner, she will also consider jumping to the window sill outside to delay time.
“Catch her quickly!”
Kawada Masato still needs Eri Kisaki to save his son.
Seeing that Eri Kisaki is about to commit suicide, he immediately urges the bodyguards.
However, the two bodyguards were kicked back and hit the wall when they were halfway there.
“Do you have bad eyesight?”
“Didn’t you notice me all this time?”
Itake Karuta was a little helpless.
“Who are you? How did you break into our Kawada family?!”
Kawada Masato was anxious to move the hostages, and his attention was focused on Kisaki Eri.
Only then did he notice that there was someone sitting on the chair.
“These bodyguards are such good-for-nothings. They can’t even use a gun. I spent so much money on them!”
Seeing the two bodyguards being easily defeated and unable to even get up,
Kawada Masato was so disappointed that he was about to take the pistol from the bodyguard’s belt.
Itake Karuta was too lazy to waste time and stepped forward quickly.
Before Kawada Masato’s hand touched the pistol, Itake Karuta’s foot got there first and kicked him to the ground.
Then he stepped on his back, making it impossible for him to get up.
Kawada Masato’s stubby limbs kept struggling, and with his fat body, he looked like a turtle.
Then, Itake Karuta picked up the pistol, raised his hand, and pointed at the position of Kisaki Eri from a distance.
“Aren’t you in the same group with them?”
“What are you doing?!”
Fei Yingli, who was in a state of surprise, just came to her senses and found that she was being aimed at by a gun. Her heart trembled.
Bang, bang, bang!
Three loud gunshots rang out in succession.
Fei Yingli was so scared that she subconsciously closed her eyes, thinking that she was in danger.
“Don’t worry, lawyer Fei, I’m just saving time.”
Itake Karuta put the gun on the table.
“I hope Lawyer Fei can save time and tell me the answer as soon as possible.”
“Otherwise, when I lose interest, there will be no second chance.
He knew that Hibiki was a smart person, and some things didn’t need to be said too clearly.
If you want to get protection, you must pay something, this is fair in the transaction.
“Tsk, he just has some ability to be violent and aggressive.……”
Eri Kisaki muttered quietly, not taking Itake Karuta’s words seriously.
In this world, force alone will not work.
But at least she was saved by him, and she also knew that she had misunderstood Itake Karuta just now, so Eri Kisaki’s voice unconsciously weakened. The sudden three gunshots quickly attracted strong attention from the police.
With this signal, Megure Jusan no longer paid attention to the repeated excuses of the manager of the Kawata family, and forced his team in.
When Megure Jusan saw Itake Karuta and Eri Kisaki, there were already a dozen bodyguards lying in the room, and the head of the Kawata family, Kawata Masato, was still being stepped on by Itake Karuta.
“”Mom!”
When Mao Lilan saw that Kisaragi was safe and sound, she excitedly threw herself into the latter’s arms.
“Are you the Itake Karuta that Xiaolan mentioned?”
“This time, thanks to you!”
Mouri Kogoro patted Itake Karuta’s shoulder vigorously.
In fact, the two had met in the last Valentine’s Day poisoning case.���However, at that time, Maori Kogoro was busy investigating the case, and then he was knocked unconscious by Conan. After waking up, he was dazed and the two of them didn’t say a word.
“I just solved the problem for the client. Detective Maori said thank you is too polite.”
Itake Karuta showed a polite smile.
Since the police arrived, Itake Karuta couldn’t continue to step on Kawada Masato.
As for the bodyguards who were knocked unconscious by Itake Karuta, they only suffered superficial injuries and were not seriously injured.
“Boy, we’ll see!”
Kawada Masato, who had been lying on the ground like a turtle for several minutes, was finally able to stand up.
Even though he had to face charges of kidnapping and intentional injury,
Kawada Masato was still calm when he was taken away by the police. He gave a cold look.
“What are you waiting for? Are you waiting to see you and your son being played with in prison?”
Itake Karuta replied immediately, making Kawada Masato so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
Then,
“How did you know that lawyer Hime was kidnapped by the Kawada family?”(To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Megure Jusan recorded his statement according to the procedure.
“Of course it’s inferred.”
“The son of the Kawada family committed a murder and wanted to ask lawyer Fei to help him escape the crime. After being rejected, he threatened to kidnap her.”
“Isn’t this obvious?”
Itake Karuta said with a relaxed look.[]
In fact, he had tortured all of this out of Kawada Masaru in the first few minutes before the police arrived , including the time and plan of the kidnapping, as well as the subsequent preparations.
He even knew that Kawada’s house had a basement where he planned to hide Eri Kisaki to avoid searches.
Under the pretext of [reasoning], Itake Karuta quickly answered various questions raised by Inspector Megure.
Everything matched up, so there was nothing to interrogate.
Itake Karuta was free soon after, and he left the scene without saying anything to Ran Mouri or Eri Kisaki.
After returning home, Itake Karuta took out his cell phone and called the”assistant lady” who was most comfortable with him.
“That’s fine, but you should know that the contract states……”
The assistant on the other end of the phone sounded a little weak, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock of the hotel.
“I know, you don’t need to remind me of this.……”
Itake Karuta replied and explained something else.
“Uncle! Just now, Kudo…Uncle Kudo Yusaku called me.”
“It is said that they have deduced that lawyer Hime was most likely kidnapped by the Kawada family!”
Conan was looking anxiously at Maori Kogoro who returned to the office.
“Hey, where’s Sister Xiaolan? Where did she go?”
“Uncle, why do you smell like alcohol?!”
In the afternoon, facing the questioning of Mao Lilan, Mao Li Kogoro told the news that Kisaki Eri was kidnapped.
Conan immediately ran to Kisaki Eri’s office to check for clues that the kidnapper might have left, and asked some questions to Kisaki Eri’s assistant Kuriyama Midori.
Afterwards, Conan also went to the restaurant that Kisaki Eri often went to at noon to investigate the situation.
After a series of actions, Conan finally deduced that the Kawada family had the greatest motive for committing the crime.
Fearing that he would arouse suspicion and expose his identity, Conan wanted to use Kudo Yusaku to express this conclusion.
As a result, Mao Li Kogoro did not answer the phone, but Officer Megure answered it, and only said”Call back later” and hung up the phone.
Conan had no choice but to wait for Mao Li Kogoro to come back in the office.
“Ying, Yingli…hiccup……”
Maori Kogoro was drunk,”She went to sleep with Xiaolan.……”
After the kidnapping, Mao Lilan insisted on staying at Kisaki Eri’s place for one night.
Without Mao Lilan’s supervision, Mao Li Kogoro went out to drink to celebrate and just came back now.
“Uncle! How was Lawyer Fei found?”
“”Speak clearly before you go to sleep!”
Conan, who was extremely curious, was left shaking Maori Kogoro’s collar desperately.
But a drunk person couldn’t stand being shaken.
“Wow——!”
The food and beer that Maori Kogoro ate suddenly fell three thousand feet like a torrent, pouring down from the head onto the short Conan, as if urging him to grow up quickly…
The next day, at four o’clock in the afternoon
“Mr. Itake!”
After receiving the guests who had made appointments today, Itake Karuta was watching TV on the first floor to kill time.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice and turned around to see the energetic Mao Li Ran.
Itake Karuta smiled and patted the sofa beside him, realizing that Mao Li Ran was sitting next to him.
He absorbed 20,000 evil spirits from Kisaki Eri last night, and he could get more rewards today. It was really a good business that was sure to make money.
Mao Li Ran, after glancing at Catherine who was also in the living room, quickly put her arms around Itake Karuta’s left arm and pulled him to the second floor.
“Tsk, I’m obsessed with a little girl……”
After the two went upstairs, Vermouth continued to plan her revenge.
As for why, it all started in the morning.
After arriving at work on time in the morning, Vermouth immediately questioned Itake Karuta and asked him to pay the price for hurting his colleagues.
Then Vermouth was cheated out of another 2 million yen check.
Because the hotel was chosen by Vermouth herself, and Itake Karuta said that he also had diarrhea symptoms after returning home, and had a stomachache all night.
It is suspected that the hotel is under the organization, and Vermouth deliberately hurt his colleagues, but now he has framed and blamed her.
Vermouth knew that she was in the wrong, so she could only agree on the spot to pay 2 million yen for medical expenses, but knowing that Itake Karuta had been tossed all night, she felt better.
But at that time, Vermouth still couldn’t figure out why Itake Karuta wrote an IOU and asked her to fingerprint.
By the time she reacted, the IOU had been taken away by Itake Karuta.
“Itake Karuta! You clearly went to save that Kisaki Eri last night! Nothing happened!”
“”Give me back my money!!!”
Vermouth yelled outside the reception room, and then… she could only go back to the first floor.
She had no choice, because she couldn’t beat him, and she didn’t dare to scold him, for fear of being cursed.
Besides, the IOU had already been signed and stamped, so who could she go to for justice?
The only thing she could do was to take advantage of Itake Karuta’s weakness and formulate a perfect revenge plan!
“Just wait and see, Itake Karuta, you will pay the price sooner or later!!!”
Vermouth could not stop sneering.
On the second floor, in the reception room.
Itake Karuta could not help but suspect that Vermouth was played badly. She was cheated out of 2 million yen and was still sitting there grinning.
He had already set up a formation at home, and he could hear all the sounds within his own range.
Hearing Vermouth talking to herself,
Itake Karuta released his spiritual sense and took a look.
Seeing that she was laughing a little schizophrenic, Itake Karuta decided to be nicer to Vermouth in the future. After all, she was his assistant. If she played badly, who would help deal with all those miscellaneous things?
“Mr. Yizhu, thank you very much for what you did last night!”
“I was supposed to come with my mom today, but she’s been busy these days.……”
After Mao Lilan sat down, she respectfully bowed to Itake Karuta.
“When doing business, there is no need to say thank you.”
Itake Karuta emphasized again that rescuing Princess Eri was not voluntary labor, nor could it be perfunctorily dealt with with a thank you or a sack.
What he wanted was the due return.
