Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

Chapter 82 Eri Kisaki's Crisis

You can imagine that this is the script and plot that the other party wants to see.

Moreover, it doesn't really matter what you've paid for now, because once everything settles down, you can get everything back.

After all, for Dongdu and Beika Town, having a few more corpses that died under mysterious circumstances is not a difficult thing.

These thoughts surged and shifted in Genda's mind, piercing his brain like countless fine needles, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Kogoro Mouri, who was still rambling on and on, was startled, as if a ferocious beast had appeared beside him. He trembled all over and stopped instantly, glancing sideways at Genda River.

"The gist of the matter is..."

Genda River interjected, "I've roughly understood what happened, but Uncle Mori, I'm afraid you haven't figured it out yet."

"what?"

Kogoro Mouri was taken aback, not understanding what he meant. Wasn't it he who had just told him that? It wasn't him who told him, so what did he mean by not understanding?

Genda Gawa sighed and recounted all his speculations, causing Kogoro Mouri's face to turn pale.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could such a thing happen?"

As a former policeman and now a detective, he refused to believe that power could actually go to such lengths!

But he was an adult, not a child, and he quickly realized that such a scenario was real, and not only would it happen, it was already happening.

This morning, while listening to the news, I noticed something was off; many of the reports on this matter had changed!

And most importantly, the reason I came to Gendagawa for help is because, every day, some unidentified people are appearing at Eri Kisaki's law firm.

These people haven't caused any trouble yet; they're just loitering around the area. But what will happen next is already foreseeable.

"Uncle Mori, you don't need to deny it. In fact, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you? If Attorney Kisaki continues to refuse certain people's 'good intentions,' then for some people, this is tantamount to cutting off that young master's way out."

After all, Attorney Kisaki is an undefeated queen. Even Prosecutor Kujo is no match for her. So, if the opponent is facing a game they can't win, the best way is to settle things outside the game.

This is like the duel between Mozi and Gongshu Ban, also known as Lu Ban.

Lu Ban devised various methods to defend the city, but Mozi countered them one by one. Frustrated, he wanted to suggest that the King of Chu kill Lu Ban. Without this opponent who could counter his strategies, the siege could proceed smoothly.

Kogoro Mouri's face was extremely gloomy, and his expression changed several times. At this moment, his facial expressions were much more varied than when he mistakenly thought he had eaten poisoned chocolate in the original work.

It's like a carousel, with colors constantly changing.

Genda continued, relentlessly attacking his morale: "I know that Uncle Mori has a very good relationship with many police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department. You can try asking them for help."

But I believe that even if they agree to help now and show no sign of backing down, the effect will be minimal, just like what happened to me.”

Kogoro Mouri knew that the phrase "like him" referred to the assassination attempt he had previously encountered.

The Metropolitan Police Department also tried to investigate the matter, but it encountered numerous overt and covert obstacles, and in the end, it could only be left unresolved, as if nothing had happened!

When this happened to Genda Gawa, he didn't think much of it, only felt a little emotional.

After all, Gendagawa's identity is somewhat complicated and sensitive, involving too many things and interests, so it's understandable that he's somewhat special.

However, when this happens to oneself, to one's own wife, it becomes unacceptable.

"boom----!"

Kogoro Mouri slammed his fist on the table, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

"No, Eri, I must protect you, I must protect you well!" she said, and rushed out.

Genda sighed softly. This is Kogoro Mouri. Although he has his flaws, there is no denying that he is a good person, and that is enough!

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up, his muscles taut beneath his white shirt, already showing clear lines.

Within its smooth and natural lines lies a terrifying power.

"Host, are you really going? You need to know that this is a huge problem. You just managed to escape from a major problem temporarily by doing everything you could. Are you really going to walk into another major problem yourself?"

Zhizi's voice rang out. After spending this time together, she had come to understand the host's character.

Although he is not afraid of trouble and has the courage to act decisively in the face of danger, he also enjoys a peaceful life and is someone who enjoys life.

He enjoyed playing and frolicking with his female classmates, admiring the graceful figures of the beautiful girls, and he liked to clean his own room, keeping his little villa spotless.

She also loves food, personally going to the market to select ingredients, and then learning little by little under her guidance to make delicious dishes.

However, if you get involved in this matter, no matter what the final outcome is, all the peace will be completely shattered.

It will cause endless trouble, and it's for someone you have no connection with. Is it worth it?

"Tomoko, if everything in this world were done based solely on whether it's worth it, it would be too boring. We should all do things that make us happy."

Meanwhile, inside the law firm.

"Shh-"

A fair hand reached out and pulled the heavy curtains shut. A tall figure with long, slightly wavy brown hair tied in a bun stood behind the curtains. It was a very beautiful young woman, none other than Eri Kisaki.

She wore a light lilac women's business suit with a dark purple pullover underneath. She was tall and slender with an imposing presence, like a true queen, exuding an aura that commanded respect.

At this moment, however, she, who was usually calm and composed, was extremely agitated, her brows furrowed, and she pursed her dry lips. She always had the habit of applying lip balm, but her irritable mood these past two days had caused her to forget to do so.

He let out a soft breath, walked to his desk, and drank the coffee that his secretary, Ms. Kuriyama Midori, had prepared in one gulp.

"Lawyer, those people are still outside, right? What should we do if this continues? Should we call the police?"

Secretary Kuriyama said with some concern that these people had been loitering outside the law firm for several days in a row.

Although no dangerous actions have been taken yet, the other party's purpose is quite obvious.

The usefulness of thugs and hooligans often lies in this.

You know perfectly well that these guys have ill intentions, but until they actually make a move, you can't do anything about it.

If you take certain actions because you feel threatened, you might end up being bitten back by the other party.

Therefore, in real life, although many of these hooligans and thugs may not commit serious crimes, their disruption to social life is extremely severe, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they should all be condemned.

At this moment, Eri Kisaki is facing this situation, and a crisis is already approaching!

P.S.: Wishing everyone good luck on the college entrance exam and that you get into Tsinghua or Peking University!!

Chapter 83 Aggressive Coercion

Eri Kisaki shook her head after hearing her secretary's advice.

“Ms. Kuriyama, calling the police is useless, don’t you understand? If calling the police were useful, why would I be troubled?”

Kuriyama Midori nodded heavily. As her secretary, she was well aware of the considerable influence that Attorney Kiyoshi had in the legal profession.

If simply calling the police had solved the problem, it would have been resolved long ago.

In fact, they called the police from the beginning, saying that someone was loitering outside the law firm and disrupting its normal operations.

However, by the time the police arrived after receiving the report, these people had already vanished without a trace. Clearly, someone within the Metropolitan Police Department was tipping off these thugs!

Officials and criminals are in cahoots; this is the most complex and terrifying situation.

When the forces of criminals and officials become intertwined, many things will undergo a strange chemical reaction.

Thugs use underworld methods to directly threaten your life or persecute you, while officials use legitimate means to obstruct your channels for seeking help.

Your cries for help have been completely drowned out.

If they continue to be ungrateful and refuse to compromise, then things will become simple: the thugs will transform into killers.

Even if they were caught afterwards, they could argue that it was just a moment of excitement. Once in prison, as a "talent" who helped important figures get rid of trouble, they certainly wouldn't be mistreated.

He will spend a few years in prison, and then, due to 'good behavior,' he will receive various sentence reductions. If he's lucky, he might even get medical parole or be released on bail to serve his sentence at home.

Once he leaves prison, time has passed, and no one will pursue the matter or bother him anymore. Who will care where this hoodlum wants to go?

So, what Eri Kisaki has been encountering these past few days is this kind of 'guerrilla warfare'!

After the police were called, they arrived, but the thugs had already left. The police could only take a statement, check the surrounding surveillance footage, and then say some perfunctory words before leaving.

After the police leave, these thugs will return to their old ways, continuing to loiter outside, and even looking down at the law firm upstairs with provocative eyes.

This is undoubtedly a blatant provocation and a silent threat!

But now, this is what they are truly facing!

"Lawyer, how about we drop this case? Although I sympathize with the victim's family, you've seen the current situation. The Yamaguchi family's power is beyond our ability to contend with."

There are only five days left until the opening day. These people's methods are bound to become increasingly drastic. Right now, it's just negotiation and threats, but once things get out of control, perhaps... 々々…”

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Eri's determined gaze, her beautiful blue eyes filled with wisdom and resolve.

“Ms. Kuriyama, I know exactly what I’m doing, and I know exactly what dangers I will face if I continue. But I am a lawyer. If I, who have even a small reputation in the legal profession, back down, it will be a terrible thing for the entire legal community.”

Often, a small step for one person is a giant leap for mankind.

However, this step could be a huge step forward or a huge step backward!

"Attorney Fei, I understand!"

Kuriyama Midori felt heavy all over. Every industry has outstanding people, but there is never a lack of outstanding people in any industry.

What the industry truly lacks are great people, because greatness means sacrifice.

This case is like a raging abyss; if you can cross it, the future will be bright, but if you can't...
