"..."

"..."

At the entrance of the Tokyo Public Prosecutor's Office, Kuma Sugawa and Mukamoto Hikaru stared at each other in silence.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward at this point.

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, what brings you here this time?"

Kuma Sugawa finally couldn't suppress his doubts and asked.

Although Xiang Yuanguang was always a model lawyer in his impression, handling one case after another, it shouldn't be to the point that he had just finished a big case yesterday and was already taking on a new case today.

Putting everything else aside, anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't let Xiang Yuanguang accept the commission at this time.

Isn't this just asking for trouble? Although the former Japanese prime minister who was tricked by Jingu Kyohei has been losing ground because he had the upper hand, he can still spare some strength to strengthen Xiangyuan Guang.

After all, everyone knows that this series of events was entirely orchestrated by Xiang Yuanguang.
Now that the former prime minister has fallen from grace, everyone is turning against him. Xiang Yuanguang holds an indelible and undeniable position in this situation, so it would be strange if the former prime minister did not target him for revenge.

"...I promised Prosecutor Ghost Moon that I would help her learn methods of reasoning."

After a brief silence, Xiang Yuanguang finally spoke.

Upon hearing this, several question marks appeared on Kuma Sugawa's forehead.

Although Xiang Yuanguang's reasoning method is more like that of a prosecutor than a lawyer, isn't it a bit too absurd for a prosecutor who has returned from studying abroad to seek out a lawyer to learn reasoning methods?
"A master can be a teacher," but this isn't how you cross over into other industries to become a teacher, is it?

Although he inwardly complained, Kuma Sugawa didn't dwell on it too much. After all, if Genji Hikaru didn't mind teaching his opponent, he had no reason to stop him. He simply said...
"Is this why you asked me to take that helmet?"

His eyebrows twitched slightly.

The helmet mentioned here naturally refers to Prosecutor Gold's helmet. Even though Kuma Sugawa is clearly not as good at reasoning as Mukaimoto Hikaru, he still possesses this kind of simple associative ability.

If you connect yesterday's taking of the helmet from Genko with today's meeting with Onizuki Hotaru.

It wasn't difficult to conclude that Xiang Yuanguang took out the helmet to help Guiyue Ying improve her reasoning ability. However, what puzzled him was why Xiang Yuanguang would use his identity as Prosecutor God to help.

"Is it really necessary to use this identity? You probably did this to give her a practical lesson in court, but if you tell her you're Prosecutor Gold..."

"Who knows, the child might breathe on you in return."

Kuma Sugawa put his hands in the pockets of his black coat and said,

"Besides, if it's just to appear in court as a prosecutor's assistant, you can just find a disguise and go in. Given the perfunctory attitude of the courtroom guards, no one will even ask any questions if you just walk in."

After all, the security check was completed when they entered the courtroom.

"...You make it sound so easy. As a prosecutor's assistant, I need to submit proof of my legal profession to the presiding judge. Whose proof do you want me to submit?"

Several black lines involuntarily appeared on Xiang Yuan's bald head.

He couldn't possibly submit his identity documents to the presiding judge, could he? If the judge saw that the prosecutor's assistant was him, given the judge's personality, the news would spread throughout the entire legal community within three days.

The aftermath will be very troublesome to handle.

It would be better to appear in court as a prosecutor's assistant under the temporary prosecutor's title, since the title of prosecutor, Gold, does not require any other proof; his appearance in court is sufficient.

"I see... Anyway, I'll be going now." Kuma Sugawa nodded slightly, said no more, and turned to walk towards the parking lot.

He was in a bit of a hurry, and he noticed that Gui Yueying seemed to have seen the conversation, but she seemed too shy to come over. He couldn't let Gui Yueying just stand there waiting like an idiot.

Anyway, a legendary lawyer like Genjiro, who is a prominent figure in Tokyo's legal community, naturally knows how to conduct himself appropriately.

Watching Kumasu River walk towards the parking lot.

Xiang Yuanguang stroked his chin, somewhat curious about the movements of Kuma Sugawa, whom he hadn't seen for a while. However, he wasn't particularly interested in paying attention to the specific whereabouts of others.

After watching Kuma Sugawa drive his black car out of the Tokyo Public Prosecutor's Office parking lot.

He then moved toward the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the young prosecutor standing by a pillar, secretly observing with only her head peeking out.

After a brief glance, the young prosecutor also ducked her head behind the pillar.

Only then did he emerge from the shadows, somewhat embarrassed, and say...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiang Yuan... I was thinking of coming over earlier, but seeing you talking with Mr. Kuma, I felt a little embarrassed to go over, so I stayed here..."

"You're not the one who should apologize; it's me who should apologize."

Xiang Yuanguang scratched the back of his head.

Well, he came to see Guiyueying, but after he contacted Guiyueying to come down, he talked with Qiuma outside for a while longer, making Guiyueying wait a little longer.

Upon closer examination, the real culprit should be him.

"Oh, right, shall we go? If we're going to investigate the inferences, starting with the case files would be the simplest approach, wouldn't it?"

file……

Gui Yueying nodded slightly.

The reason for arranging the meeting at the Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office was, of course, because it has the largest number of case files available for reference—in fact, many prosecutors also have many copied case files in their own bookshelves.

Normally, as a family of prosecutors, the Guiyue family would have far more case files than other prosecutors. However, because Guiyue Liuyun was imprisoned, all those case files were also confiscated.

Therefore, the number of case files in Guiyue Ying's home was pitifully small, so she could only come to the Tokyo Public Prosecutor's Office to review and study them.

However, just as Onizuki Hotaru and Mugen Hikaru entered the building, Prosecutor Sugiura, who had just finished get off work, was happily carrying his bag, ready to go home for a good drink.

The three met on the stairs.

Upon seeing this, Prosecutor Sugiura rubbed his eyes hard, realizing that the person in front of him seemed to be the real deal, and immediately began to run away.

He was a prosecutor who was transferred from Honikedai to the Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office for further training.

If his performance here is poor, he will be transferred back. In order to avoid failing to meet his performance targets, he decided it would be better to avoid Xiang Yuanguang.

What if Xiang Yuanguang suddenly has a bizarre idea and takes on his case to torture him?
Watching Prosecutor Sugiura flee, Onizuki Hotaru and Mugen Hikaru exchanged a glance, each able to see the doubt in the other's eyes, but that was all.

They weren't very familiar with Prosecutor Sugiura, so there wasn't much room for in-depth discussion.

"Miss Ghost Moon, could you tell me which side of the files room I can access?"

"Ah, over here, please come with me."
