“Are you here for an interview?”

"I want to ask you about changing lawyers in the second trial."

"I don't know. The female lawyer named Hatsuru suddenly stopped defending me." Nishinari Hiro answered honestly.

"Is there any reason?"

"Maybe she felt that she was also responsible for my sister's disappearance, so she gave up the defense."

Qinghai Chuantang looked at him and continued to ask, "Is your sister missing now?"

Not sure if it was her illusion, but she saw Nishinari Hiroshi and seemed to sneer.

"Are you kidding me? My sister has done nothing wrong, but you are still pursuing her. Aren't you ruining her life?"

Qinghai Chuantang also smiled: "No, it's you."

Maybe this sentence irritated the other party, but Nishinari Hiro suddenly stood up and yelled at her: "Hey, what are you talking about? It's all your fault, you bastard media!"

"Calm down!" The police officer quickly pushed him back into his seat.

Qinghai Chuantang took out a photo from his pocket, showed it and asked, "Is this your sister?"

She deliberately took a screenshot of the photo from her driver's license and printed it out again.

"Where did you get her driver's license? Tell me! Where did Xiaozi go?"

"Nishinari!"

Two police officers grabbed him, but Nishinari continued to struggle.

He yelled again: "Hey, where did she go!"

However, Qinghai Chuantang did not answer him.

The meeting was forced to end, but the information she obtained was enough.

"Hello everyone, my name is Hatsuru Mina, I'm a lawyer, nice to meet you all."

She rented a tea restaurant with a very stylish decoration. The sign outside the door also had the words "talk show" on it.

There were not many people at the conversation meeting, only a few.

She still had that decent smile on her face, giving people a very approachable feeling.

"Here, we don't criticize anyone, and we don't tell others what we know here. Can everyone do this?"

Everyone nodded and said yes.

"The theme I want to talk about today is to let go of the past. Everyone has a past that they don't want to recall. The sadder the thing is, the more they will blame themselves for the mistakes, but in fact it is not the case at all."

"Today, let's talk about our sad memories, and then praise ourselves for our courage in persevering, okay?"

Hatsurumina patiently guided them, just like she was guiding kindergarten kids; she was not so serious and it was easier for them to get closer to each other.

They were a group of people who had never met each other before.

Doing this can indeed make people listen to her words faster and to a greater extent.

"Anyone willing to volunteer?"

A woman in a gray suit jacket hesitated and raised her hand.

Hatsurumina smiled and said "thank you", then made a gesture of invitation, indicating that the other party should pick up the microphone on the table and start speaking.

At this time, Conan was hiding behind the partition.

He ate the snacks on the plate silently while listening carefully.

"I was bullied by my classmates when I was in junior high school. One day, a classmate suddenly started ignoring me."

After she finished her story, no one raised their hand, and everyone seemed to be hesitating.

"I'm late, Attorney Hatsuru."

Qing Hai Chuan Tang held the microphone in his left hand and looked at her: "Can you really say anything?"

"please."

"Will you really not tell anyone?" Qinghai Chuantang asked.

Everyone nodded.

"Actually, I committed a crime. I killed my parents. But fortunately, I met a good lawyer, so I can stand here today."

"But my sister is missing, and it's all my fault. Because of me, she is being hounded by the media all day. So I'm very worried now. I don't know where she is or what she is doing."

"Sometimes I even think, as long as she is still alive, it will be fine."

Qinghai Chuantang was walking while talking.

Finally, he stopped not far from her, looked at her and said, "Is there any value in living for a scum like me?"

Hatsurumina held the microphone at her elbow and clapped.

Under her leadership, people around her followed suit.

"Thank you for your honesty." She picked up the phone again and said with a smile, "As long as you are willing to atone for your sins, then living itself is atonement. I hope you can find your sister soon."

"Thank you, lawyer."

After turning around, Qinghai Chuantang seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at the other party again: "Can you say a few words too?"

She sat down on an empty chair nearby.

"Have you ever had any painful or sad experiences? Maybe everyone will be encouraged after listening to your story. Right?"

Everyone nodded, agreeing with her.

"Well, actually, I have painful memories too. The one I'll never forget is when my mother committed suicide when I was in high school."

Hatsurumina came to her seat and sat down, and began to tell her story.

She grew up in a single-parent family and her mother was always very kind to her.

"On the day she died, she sent me out as usual. That day, there was an international English test, and I had to pass it to get a scholarship to study abroad."

"But when I finished the exam successfully, I returned home and found out..."

Hatsurumina's expression turned sad.

"Mom committed suicide by cutting her wrists."

"This sudden tragedy brought me to the lowest point in my life. I never thought that my mother wanted to commit suicide. If I had noticed it earlier."

Her words were full of self-blame.

"I was alone and even thought about going down to look for her. But then, the notice of passing the exam arrived."

Hatsurumina raised her head and said, "I thought it was my mother's encouragement, so I went to study in the UK."

"There, I met people from many countries. I realized that painful experiences are my wealth and I can use them to help other people in trouble."

"Many people have nowhere else to turn to and they want to die, but I want to save them. The reason I am sitting here today is because I shed so many tears the day my mother died."

The moment she put down the microphone, applause broke out all around.

After the conversation ended, Qing Hai Chuan Tang followed Chu Rumina to the overpass.

"what's up?"

"Didn't you say that I'm always welcome to entrust you with something?"

Hatsurumina turned around with a smile, "What kind of request is it?"

"I want to be reincarnated as a human again."

The other party couldn't help but laugh and said, "I can't do that."

"I want to be someone else. So, can you help me prepare a new household registration?"

The smile on Hatsurumina's face disappeared in an instant, and her expression suddenly became cold.

"You've gone too far with this joke."

Qinghai Chuantang took a small step forward: "Didn't you prepare it for No. 316?"

"What number 316?"

"The woman who died at Shinjuku Station was not the real Shiho Shuuyama." Qing Hai Chuan Tang said straight to the point: "You were the one who planned behind the scenes to make her become Shiho Shuuyama, right?"

Chu Rumina smiled and shook her head, pretending to be confused: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"She encountered misfortune and her life was completely ruined. So you joined forces with her to help her through the difficult times."

In today's society, once you fall into a trap, you can never get out.

Therefore, many people hope to change their names.

"In fact, there are people who resell household registrations on the black market. It should be easy for a lawyer to help you complete such procedures."

Hatsurumina did not answer immediately, but looked up at the moonlight for a long time.

He said calmly, "Why would I do something like this, trying to get chestnuts out of the fire?"

"I don't know. How about I guess?" Qinghai Chuantang looked at her.

Chu Rumina put on an expressionless look, looked ahead and said, "I don't like playing this kind of shameless game with others."

Qinghai Chuantang smiled and said, "I think being cynical is a very good mentality."

The other party smiled and didn't say anything else.

He just said "goodbye" and turned towards the stairs, ready to leave.

"Lawyer Chuliu, why did you choose to be a lawyer?"

"Didn't I just say that?" Chu Rumina paused, turned around and looked at her and said, "I want to save people in trouble, as many as I can."

After a pause, she added: "I didn't lie."

At the same time, Takagi also brought news about the deceased's cheating partner.

Although the other party refused to meet, she reportedly did not sever ties with him after the settlement, and was seen bleeding after being discovered.

The other man's wife rushed in, and while running away she fell down the stairs, breaking her bones.

After that, Hatsurumina helped them mediate and forced the two to break up.

Records are kept in the hospital where I received treatment.

Using this record, a search was done in the Metropolitan Police Department's database of unidentified remains, and a body with the same DNA and age was found.

The time of death was one and a half years.

The cause of death is presumed to be head trauma, and the weapon is unknown. However, based on the fracture of the skull, it is presumed to be a special blunt weapon, probably in the shape of a ring.

The next day, Qinghai Chuantang came to Darlington Law Firm.

Conan deeply experienced what it means to cross the river and then destroy the bridge.

However, with his current appearance, he was indeed not very convincing. In addition, Qinghai Chuantang said, "It's not a physically difficult killing method, so there's no need for you to show up."

This makes sense.

"Counselor, can I ask you again?"

Qing Hai Chuan Tang took out the photo from his pocket again and asked Chu Rumina, "Is this person Zhou Shan Shi Sui?"

Chu Rumina nodded slightly.

"No way?" Qing Hai Chuantang turned the photo over and said, "Her real name is Xicheng Xiaozi. She is the defendant's sister, for whom you are the public counsel."

Because of her brother's crime, Nishinari Ako, who was surrounded and hunted by the media, changed her identity and escaped.

Mina Hatsuru killed Shiho Shuyama and gave her household registration to Aiko Nishinari.

"boring."

After making this comment, Hatsurumina picked up the teacup in front of her.

"If Xicheng Xiaozi hadn't died, your crime would not have been exposed."

"Do you have evidence?"

"Evidence? If you want evidence..." Qing Hai Chuan Tang turned around, pointed at the motorcycle model on the table and asked, "How about this one?"

As long as it is handed over to the police for identification, Zhou Shan Zhisui's blood will definitely be detected.

Hatsurumina gently put the teacup down.

"Why do you think so?"

"Because you've already failed when you first started."

When a lawyer hears that a client has died, he or she will generally check the exact date when he or she last saw the client.

What’s more, a lawyer who is just starting out and will be with his client throughout his life should check it out.

But her answer was quite ambiguous.

And at that time, she also took a look at the model on the table.

“When people are in crisis, they usually unconsciously look at the most important things.”

After hearing this, Chu Rumina laughed.

Leaning back on the sofa, he smiled and said, "You are an interesting person. However, as a lawyer, I still have to say that what you said is not correct."

"Appreciate further details."

"I didn't kill Miss Shiho just to take her household registration away from her."

At that time, the real Zhou Shan Zhihui said to her: "Lawyer Chuliu, are you trying to teach me a lesson? Everything I said was false, including what I said during the negotiation."

What I said about not knowing he had a wife was false; therefore, the agreement you wrote was also completely false.

So you will be held accountable too, lawyer.

"Ms. Shiho."

"By the way, you should know that I lied, right? What else did you say? You believed me and let me tell you everything. I don't know how much you look down on me. I hate women like you the most."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of reflecting on herself, Hatsurumina was unable to control herself at the time, so she acted impulsively and had impulsive consequences.

This is what Hatsurumina herself thinks.

In fact, she suddenly got angry and lost her mind because she heard the words she least wanted to hear.

"I know that you appear to be a gentle and kind person on the surface. But are you just taking advantage of other people's misfortunes to entertain yourself? You at least want to be praised by others, right?"

"You are a hypocrite. You are a fake."

The words that Zhou Shan Zhihui once said to me seem to be vivid in my mind.

"You help others only because you want to forget about your mother." Qinghai Chuantang looked at her and said.

When Hatsurumina heard this, she immediately retorted, “This has nothing to do with my mother’s affairs!”

"In fact, you abandoned your mother yourself, right?"

When people choose photos of themselves to decorate their rooms, they tend to choose photos of themselves at their most dazzling moments.

The photo that Hatsuru Mina chose was taken when she was studying abroad, just after her mother passed away.

She has a bright smile and looks very cheerful.

"In fact, you noticed a long time ago that your mother wanted to commit suicide, but you just let her do whatever she wanted."

"Stop talking."

"You save others in order to atone for your sins, right?"

Chu Rumina pretended to hit her, but was stopped by Qing Hai Chuan Tang with quick eyes and hands.

After taking her hand back, she lowered her head and tears suddenly flowed from her eyes.

"There's nothing wrong with being a fake."

Qinghai Chuantang said: "Whether it's true or false, there must be someone who was saved by you, right?"

Chu Rumina raised her head, reached out her hand to wipe away her tears, calmed down a little, looked at Qing Hai Chuan Tang and said: "There is no such person at all."

"I always thought that as long as I helped others, even if they were as humble as ants, I could be saved. Do you know? If people are kind to ants, they will suck your last drop of blood and become pests."
