Tokyo Detective

Chapter 315 Judicial Destroyer (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The observer was none other than Naoki Hanyu, who observed every detail from the revelry club to the bar, and then to Hanako Soma's house.

He also secretly took photos and videos, in preparation for ruining the other party's reputation at some point.

However, things soon changed. Another person was following Hanako Soma. This person was hiding in the shadows, staring intently at Hanako with bloodshot eyes. He was an unkempt, slovenly middle-aged man with a thin build and a dagger in his pocket.

In the dark alley, as the disheveled man saw Soma Hanako about to pass by, his fist gripping the dagger began to tremble; he was both afraid and nervous.

Suddenly a figure blocked the alley exit, and a hoarse voice rang out.

"You want to kill Hanako Soma?"

The middle-aged man instinctively turned to run, but was subdued by Naoki Hanyu with one hand.

"Don't worry, I'm not someone who'll get in your way. I'm just an ordinary person who also wants to live like Soma Hanako."

The middle-aged man asked hesitantly.

"Was it also that woman who caused your family to be destroyed?"

"I guess so. Can we talk?"

A man's voice echoed from the dark alley, allowing Naoki Hanyu to learn about the other person's story.

The disheveled man's name is Fujii Takumi. He used to be a highly skilled race car driver, but his wife cheated on him, and with the help of Soma Hanako, he was forced to leave with nothing, which is why he looks like this now.

The judge in that case was a female judge who favored women, and the opponent was Hanako Soma, an expert in domestic cases. It was a disaster for Takumi Fujii, who was the victim but ended up being hurt all over.

Even Naoki Hanyu was speechless; it was truly pitiful.

"You can go back now. I'll kill Soma Hanako for you."

Takumi Fujii shook his head and refused.

"No, I want to kill this bitch with my own hands. I was diagnosed with early-stage cancer right after the divorce, and then I couldn't afford treatment, so it's now in its late stages. I want to kill my enemy with my own hands in the last moments of my life."

"."

Poor guy number one.

"Since that's the case, I'll offer you some help within my power. I've heard that Soma Hanako has studied martial arts, and with your physique, it will be difficult for you to kill her with a dagger."

"Thank you."
.
Time flew by, and it was the night before the trial.

The sign reads "Soma Family's Detached Villa".

Takumi Fujii stood at the door, quietly looking at his once familiar home, a house he had worked hard for twenty years to buy, now turned into the den of debauchery between a cheating couple.

Suddenly the door opened, and Naoki Hanyu appeared with his face covered.

"They're in the room, come in."

"sorry to bother you."

Takumi Fujii drew his pistol and went to the room where he used to sleep. Inside, the two adulterers were playing happily, and every laugh made his hesitant heart more resolute.

The door was pushed open, followed by screams and gunshots.

Inside the room, Fujii Takumi's wife knelt on the floor, begging her ex-husband for forgiveness. This wife had a sweet appearance, and it was really hard to believe that she was a vicious woman.

As for her current husband, he was lying on the bed covered in blood, beyond dead.

The woman cried out in terror.

"Takumi, don't kill me. I know I was wrong. I've been regretting how I treated you before. I know I was wrong."

"You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die."

Takumi Fujii bit his lip and pulled the trigger; the silenced pistol went unnoticed by the neighbors.

[Ding! Instigated others to commit murder, accumulating 3 stars of evil.]

Getting a three-star reward for free is pretty good. Just as Naoki Hanyu was leaving with his group, the system notification sounded again: the reward for killing those lawyers had arrived.

[Ding! You have received a 4-star Sin reward.]

[Ding! Opened a 4-star supply chest, obtaining a box (1400 rounds) of 7.62×51mm NATO ammunition, worth 100 million.]

7.62mm bullets can be used in automatic rifles and M60 machine guns, so there won't be any shortage of bullets now.

[Ding! Opened a 4-star skill chest and obtained the C-rank skill One Piece.]

【One Piece (C): Proficient in operating various types of ships at sea, including small ships (Master), medium ships (Expert), large ships (Master), and missile warships (Skilled)】

Naoki Hanyu couldn't help but smile as he looked at the skill. He was already worried about where to learn how to operate a warship, and the system actually gave him the warship skill, which was a timely help.
.
The day of the second hearing arrived quickly, and many reporters gathered outside the courthouse to await the start of the highly anticipated case.

Naoki Hanyu was also quietly watching Soma Hanako arrive at the door. His investigation over the past month had made very little progress, and he couldn't find a breakthrough at all. He also didn't have any useful information about the legal intermediary he had kidnapped.

Ryunosuke Takakura accepted the commission on behalf of Matsudaura through an acquaintance who mysteriously disappeared after Matsudaura's death, and Naoki Hanyu couldn't find him no matter how hard he tried.

Since that's the case, let's take it one step at a time; he can hold out.

Several reporters surrounded Hanako Soma for an interview.

"Attorney Soma, are you confident about this case?"

Soma Hanako smiled confidently, regardless of whether she could win or not, she was certain of victory.

"Of course."

Do you think Yamato Takamura is innocent?

“Since I took on the case, I naturally believed that my client was innocent, but I can understand that the court ultimately found him guilty due to certain concerns.”

Sasaki Mashiro shoved the microphone into Soma Hanako's face, causing some of the foundation she used to cover her wrinkles to come off, which angered the old woman.

"Attorney Soma, you are a family law lawyer. Do you feel guilty about getting involved in this kind of criminal case? Your answer just now gave the impression that you were not confident."

Soma Hanako did not answer, but instead asked in a deep voice.

Which TV station are you from?

"I'm from Fuji Television."

"Your behavior just now showed me no professionalism whatsoever as a journalist. I will complain to your TV station about your lack of responsibility as a reporter."

These words startled Sasaki Mashiro.

"Can you please not complain? My father will scold me. As the chairman of the TV station, he always wants me to act as if I didn't get in through connections."

"..." Soma Hanako didn't continue speaking for a moment. Damn rich kid, damn backdoor connections.

"Excuse me, everyone, we need to borrow this space. The court hearing is about to begin."

Just then, a disheveled middle-aged man's face appeared.

"Soma Hanako, do you still recognize me?"

"you are?"

Hanako Soma frowned in confusion. She didn't remember knowing such a slovenly and tasteless man. The next second, she backed away in horror because the man in front of her actually pulled out a pistol.

"What do you want to do? Calm down."

"Die, you damn bitch."

"Bang bang bang bang bang."

With the bullets emptied, Hanako Soma lay on the ground covered in blood. The surrounding reporters were so frightened that they retreated in panic, causing a stampede that injured several reporters.

Hanako Soma felt the pain and coldness in her body and looked pleadingly at the man who hated her. But Takumi Fujii not only did not let her go, but also pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into her body, ending the life of this female boxing lawyer.

"Killed."

"Someone come quickly."

Screams filled the air, but Takumi Fujii didn't run away. Instead, he knelt on the ground. He wanted to experience prison before he died. He had already noticed something wrong with his brain and estimated that the cancer cells had spread to his brain. He probably didn't have more than a month to live.

The next second, Takumi Fujii was pinned to the ground by Naoki Hanyu, and only then did the chaotic reporters stop their commotion.

An old acquaintance, Sasaki Mashiro, steeled himself and called in a camera to interview the helpless murderer.

"Sir, may I ask you your motives for murder?"

Takumi Fujii looked up at the woman.

"Yes, my motive for killing him is that Soma Hanako caused my family's ruin and death. I remember I was preparing for a match that day."

The story of Takumi Fujii served as an appetizer, familiarizing viewers of the news broadcasts with his tale, while the upcoming trial was the real drama.

The novice female lawyer, who was acting as an assistant in court, was dumbfounded. "Where is my mentor?"

The judge didn't care whether Fang's lawyer was present or not; once the time was up, he ignored the female lawyer's request for a postponement and proceeded with the trial directly.

The odds of winning were already slim, and with a novice lawyer facing off against a seasoned prosecutor, the situation was practically one-sided.

In an effort to redeem themselves, the prosecutor's office sent their top prosecutor, and the judge immediately declared Takamura Yamato guilty after the trial ended. In such a high-profile case, the judge was already inclined to find him guilty, and since the other side was so incompetent, there was no need to continue.

Of course, Yamato Takamura can appeal; that's a matter for the High Court to consider.

The day after the murder, videos and group chat messages about Hanako Soma's partying were exposed, instantly sparking outrage among Japanese men.
.
The perpetrators ignored these concerns and continued their investigation, pretending nothing had happened.

One day, Naoki Hanyu was having a late-night snack with Masato Komikado and Yui Aragaki when the lawyer, who had just bought a private jet and was full of confidence, suddenly asked a question.

"Naoki, is there any inside story behind Takamura Yamato's case?"

Naoki Hanyu put down his cup.

"Ya-ren, don't tell him you're going to take over this appeal case?"

"I am indeed tempted. The other party is offering a generous sum of 15 billion yuan, and this case has been making headlines. If I win, I will gain both fame and fortune."

15 billion? Those people behind the scenes are simply insane.

"I retorted, drunkenly standing to the side."

"Mr. Komekado, don't do anything reckless. All the lawyers in the Takamura Yamato case have gotten into trouble. If you want to get into trouble, don't drag me down with you."

"I was just asking Yuzuru for his opinion."

Naoki Hanyu threatened.

"The waters run deep. The forces behind Takamura Yamato have planted explosives in the heads of their subordinates, blowing up even Ao's head in an instant. If you want to try, then go ahead."

The two lawyers were startled, and their minds cleared up a bit.

"It seems better not to get involved in troubled waters."

"Uh-huh."

Yui Aragaki nodded frantically. Last time she took on a case involving a corrupt politician, she was already threatened with being sunk in Tokyo Bay if she didn't handle it well. This time, she might plant a bomb and die without even knowing it.

Naoki Hanyu suddenly asked.

"Yui, how's the Aiba Shoko case going?"

During this time, Naoki Hanyu was busy with his own affairs and had no time to get involved in the Aiba family's case. If Yui Aragaki was ultimately unable to handle it, then he would have to take some time to resolve it, even if it meant paying for it himself; he didn't care about the money.

When talking about the cases she was in charge of, Yui Aragaki's expression became more excited.

"Speaking of which, I must thank the autopsy agency you introduced. They have determined that Mr. Aiba's death was caused by the rupture and detachment of the vertebral artery tissue, an accidental death caused by external injury. Furthermore, there is a work ID card of an employee who worked with Mr. Aiba at the same time. Mr. Aiba had fallen from the second floor 14 days before his death, which is estimated to be the cause of the accident. The construction site was not up to standard at the time and should be held responsible."

"When the spinal artery is dislodged, meaning only the skin and flesh are connecting the head, that's a really terrible situation. I don't know whether to say that person is risking their life or being stupid."

A vertebral artery detachment is a fatal injury that would be extremely painful for most people. Aiba Jiro continued to work for several days despite the pain, which ultimately led to his death. If he had gone for a check-up that day, he could have been saved.

Masato Komikado suddenly spoke earnestly.

"Don't be too happy yet. Without a hospital report, one witness can't definitively say that it was caused by the fall. You need more evidence and witnesses."

Yes, proving that the vertebral artery detachment was caused by a fall will be very troublesome. If Mitsubishi is unwilling to negotiate, there will be a lot of fighting.

"I'll continue to trouble you with Aiba Jiro's case, but I'm busy with other things and can't attend to it."

"Yes, Naoki, you can go about your own business. This case was originally my job."

Naoki Hanyu praised it.

"He's really reliable. You have a good assistant, Masato."

"It's not even close."
.
Half a month passed quickly, and because four lawyers had gotten into trouble in succession, no elite lawyers dared to take on the case of Takamura Yamato.

Ultimately, the High Court spent half a month proceeding with the substantive hearing and subsequently rejected Yamato Takamura's appeal. He can still appeal to the Supreme Court, but the Supreme Court will also reject his appeal; the matter is now settled.
