He's in Detective Conan, but a Triumph Attorney.

When Xiang Yuanguang was about to reach the end of the corridor, Kuma Sukawa suddenly spoke.

"You asked someone to make those two invitations, right? And the second radio was played by Masanobu."

"Although you skipped this point in court, I could sense that... Masashi was really going to kill someone."

"His murderous intention is genuine. Aren't you afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

(Do you realize this...?)

He stood there and spoke calmly.

"No, I've checked it and he no longer has any intention of killing anyone."

"If Masashi kills someone anyway... I will send him to jail myself."

(I see…)

Kuma Sukawa seemed to be thinking about something.

Tick, tick, tick.

Xiang Yuanguang arrived at the main entrance of the courtroom, but there was no joy on his face.

Feeling the warm sunshine, looking towards the dark corner...there was nothing there.

(Kuma Sukawa... Was it you who attacked Kigetsu Ryuun?)

Xiang Yuanguang silently reviewed the entire case in his mind, and ultimately did not say much.

—————April 20, 3:25 p.m.—————

—————Kumimon Office, Main Hall——————

《The Argumentative Magician, in the name of law and justice! Blowing a wind of dissent into the mystery! 》

"The undefeated lawyer who has been silent for three years, Gu Meimen appears in court! A murder case is reversed overnight!"

In a small villa far away from the business district, the famous lawyer Kensuke Komemon raised the newspaper in his hand and held it high.

"Wow? No way, this doesn't match my worth. I should be the one making the headlines."

"Shouldn't I, the ace lawyer, be better than that rookie who appeared in court twice and lost once?"

Hattori, Gumeimen's butler, cleared the dishes on the table, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

However, the only lawyer in the Kumimoto office, Machiko Dai, holds the opposite attitude.

She had a lot of architecture-related knowledge in her hands and spoke to her boss very impolitely.

"I think it's people like Attorney Xiang Yuan who fight for justice and turn the case around."

"He's much better than you. He's been in danger several times but he still insisted on defending me."

"what?"

Gu Meimon threw the newspaper aside, stood up angrily, and glanced at the book in Dai Machiko's hand.

"It's ridiculous that a newbie like you would take on a construction-related job when you know nothing about anything."

"And I am an ace lawyer who will never fail. I am no better than the lawyer who has a 50% winning rate."

"The most important thing is that lawyers are not gods at all. It is too arrogant to judge others from the perspective of justice."

"In the end, I guess it was definitely some huge defense fee that turned the situation around and won—————"

"In short, there is no such thing as "justice" in the courtroom. There is only "fairness"!"

Because Kumimon spoke too quickly, Dai Machiko didn't hear anything clearly, so she blinked.

I only heard the last sentence of Gu Meimen clearly.

"In the court of justice, [victory is justice]!"

Chapter 81 Civil Case Defense? Me? Really?

—————April 21, 9:30 a.m. —————

—————Xiangyuan Law Firm, Office——————

Xiang Yuanguang was tidying up his filing cabinet and putting the Yueying Island series of case files he had just finished writing into it.

Although there were only one or two cases in this filing cabinet that he actually handled.

However, Xiang Yuanguang believes that in Conan's cheating worldview, this number will definitely increase quickly in the future.

Nodding secretly to his bright future, Xiang Yuanguang opened the cupboard, took out only one-third of the noodles left, and was about to take the internal stairs to the kitchen on the first floor to cook.

But he heard a knock on the office door, which made Xiang Yuanguang's hand holding the noodles tremble.

He didn't even need to think about who was at the door——————

Crunch!

"Natsuki Koshimizu, I told you, I don't know... uh, why is it Lawyer Hime?"

Xiang Yuanguang blinked, and the person standing in front of him was the busy person, Hibiki Eri.

He hasn't seen Eri Kisaki since the trial of the Tsukikage Island series of cases ended.

I heard that there is another major case that requires Eri Kisaki to personally handle the case.

"..."

Hibiki Eri didn't say anything, her eyes stayed on the half bag of noodles in Xiang Yuanguang's hand.

For a moment, Hibiki Eri actually felt some sympathy for Mugenmitsu.

He has become famous thanks to the trial of the Moon Shadow Island series of cases, but now he still makes a living by relying on noodles?

This is not surprising... Apart from those who believe they are absolutely innocent, who would come to Xiang Yuanguang to be their lawyer?

By then, I'm afraid I'll be standing in the dock and sent directly to prison by the lawyers and prosecutors.

"Uh, w-what happened?"

At this moment, Xiang Yuanguang suddenly noticed the noodles in his hand and secretly hid his noodles behind his back.

Then, he used his extremely powerful computing power to think quickly, and finally spoke carefully.

"Ahem, I haven't received any cases these days. I'll give you the remaining commission fee in a few days?"

"...A lawyer like you who pays for defense will probably starve to death on the streets."

Shaking her head, Kisaki Eri got down to business.

"Do you still remember Nakano Souji? He was the rookie who fought against you as the defense attorney in his first court appearance."

"After being beaten by you, I have temporarily given up on criminal cases and turned to civil cases."

"He has now received a civil lawsuit to improve his reputation, and he is not sure about it... and I don't have time."

"So, I hope you can help Nakano Soshu to offset the commission you paid me for my appearance in court."

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin, and it took him a while to react, and he couldn't help but sweat profusely.

Civil case? Looking for me? Really? Isn't that a newcomer leading newcomers?

He hesitated, thought about it again and again, and finally, after thinking it over again, he was moved by the reward of offsetting the commission fee.

Xiang Yuanguang coughed twice and said seriously.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I will definitely make sure the defendant is convicted."

(…A civil lawsuit found the defendant guilty? Xiang Yuan, what the hell are you talking about?)

(Why does it feel unreliable... But since Xiang Yuan can handle the criminal case, there should be no problem with the civil case.)

(After all, he was the top student in the law department of the University of Tokyo, a shining legal star...)

Kisaki Eri nodded and said so.

"Well, keep working hard, Xiang Yuan."

Click. The office door was closed.

Xiang Yuanguang, who had just looked confident and serious, was now sweating profusely and turned around to rummage through the boxes in the office.

He remembered that all the books related to the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo seemed to be placed in a box... Hmm? Such a big box was filled with books related to it?

"I finally understand why people advise people not to study medicine or law every day... I can't finish reading so many books!"

Xiang Yuanguang stared at the large number of books in the box in a daze. Suddenly, he had an idea. He looked at the clock, picked up his mobile phone and called Conan.

At this time, Conan, who had just finished class and was planning to play football with the Junior Detective League, was full of confusion.

(Xiang Yuan actually called me? Is this another special criminal case that I can’t handle?)

(Really? I thought there had been some progress after the Grand Inquisition, but now it seems to be the same as before.)

"Xiang Yuan, why are you calling me at this time... a civil case? Huh? Why would you call me for something like this? Aren't you a top student at the University of Tokyo?"

"...Come on, I'm just a high school student... Huh? Why should I learn these things in Hawaii? Only professional detectives who run agencies need to learn these things, right?"

"Okay, okay, I'm going to hang up first. I have classes these few days, so you can go by yourself. Bye!"
