In Detective Conan, you call this just an ordinary lawyer?

It wasn't difficult for Kensuke Komikado to recognize Ai Haibara.

The main reason is that Conan and Ai Haibara's images both have very memorable characteristics.

Ai Haibara raised her head, her icy blue eyes staring directly at Kensuke Komikado, her gaze mature and calm, not at all like a child.

"Hello, are you Attorney Komikado?"

"it's me."

Kensuke Komikado nodded and continued speaking.

"However, I do not accept cases or legal advice from children, since minors do not have criminal or civil liability."

"If you have any problems, you can go back and talk to your parents."

Kensuke Komikado stretched and turned around to return to the law firm.

Ai Haibara is a core character in the Conan universe. She is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, mature and calm, and her personality is characterized by contrast, which makes her popular with many people.

but.....

Kensuke Komikado only wants to develop his own law firm and doesn't care much about anything else.

They are especially unwilling to take the initiative to deal with certain troublesome matters.

Ai Haibara is just a child and doesn't have much money, so Kensuke Komikado has no interest in spending any time or effort on her.

Noticing that Kensuke Komikado had turned to leave, Ai Haibara spoke up.

"I have 30 million yen."

Kensuke Komikado stopped and turned his head.

"cash?"

"cash."

Upon hearing the accurate answer, Kensuke Komikado continued, "I only accept legally obtained income."

Ai Haibara lowered her icy blue eyes slightly.

"It's legal."

"Excuse me, I misspoke just now. Let's go into the law firm."

Kensuke Komikado spoke with a smile.

Who wouldn't want to make money? Making money is nothing to be ashamed of.

Minors lack civil and criminal capacity, but as long as there is a case, the issue of guardianship is relatively easy to resolve.

Kensuke Komikado is very enthusiastic when facing his employer.

Ai Haibara carefully observed Kensuke Komikado's retreating figure and silently muttered, "What a money-grubbing guy."

However, this is good for Ai Haibara too; getting paid to do something is the most reliable thing to do.

only....

Ai Haibara's blue eyes brightened slightly as she followed behind Kensuke Komikado.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Kensuke Komikado treated Ai Haibara like a customer, poured her a glass of water, and placed it in front of her.

"Thanks."

Ai Haibara took the water and sat directly opposite Kensuke Komikado.

"I would like to ask, if a minor kills someone in an emergency to protect themselves, will they be sentenced to imprisonment?"

kill?

Kensuke Komikado looked at Ai Haibara. He didn't remember that Ai Haibara had committed murder in the story.

but....

He didn't want to delve too deeply into these matters; all he needed to do was earn the 30 million.

"Well, I don't like to deceive children. According to the law, minors are judged by their age, and those who are too young will not be imprisoned."

"However, each referee has a different understanding of the definition of emergency protection."

"There is still a certain risk that they may be found guilty and transferred to a juvenile detention center."

Upon hearing Kensuke Komikado's reply, Ai Haibara stood up and spoke again.

"Thank you for your reply, Attorney Komikado."

"You're welcome. What is your request?"

Kensuke Komikado asked.

"I have no requests or demands; I'm just here to inquire about this matter."

After saying that, Ai Haibara prepared to leave.

Kensuke Komikado stopped Ai Haibara: "Don't you have 30 million yen in legally retained cases?"

Ai Haibara's lips curled into a smug smile.

"When did I say I had 30 million in legitimate cases?"

"Attorney Komikado, I said I have 30 million yen, but that doesn't mean I need to take on cases."

"Moreover, as you just said, minors do not have criminal and civil capacity."

"Therefore, I do not need to pay you for legal consultation."

"Please, Attorney Komikado, don't stop me, otherwise, it might constitute a crime of harming a minor."

Ai Haibara looked up, and Kensuke Komikado saw a hint of amusement and teasing in her eyes.

Kensuke Komikado immediately realized that Ai Haibara had other motives.

It wasn't for the sake of the case, and as for the 30 million yen mentioned, that might also be a lie.

Kensuke Komikado tapped Ai Haibara on the head.

A rare hint of anger appeared on Ai Haibara's usually calm face as she stared directly at Kensuke Komikado.

Kensuke Komikado lowered his head and spoke softly.

"This is punishment, and besides, there are recordings everywhere in my law firm, so you can't sue me."

"Don't do that again. Now you can leave."

After saying that, Kensuke Komikado returned to the sofa and lay down as if no one else was there.

He didn't want to get too entangled with children.

Since there are no cases, let's not continue this conversation.

Before leaving the law firm, Ai Haibara turned her head to glance at Kensuke Komikado, silently thinking—

"This person isn't as bad as Kudo-kun described; he's quite interesting."

The reason why Ai Haibara came to Komikado Law Firm.

First, he wanted to meet the lawyer Conan mentioned who had caused him to fail twice.

Secondly, I wanted to see what kind of image this lawyer had.

So far, Ai Haibara seems to have a fairly good impression of Kensuke Komikado.

However, Kensuke Komikado's first impression of Ai Haibara was not good.

He originally thought he would get a big case worth 30 million yen, but unexpectedly, he was tricked.

It's just a minor issue.

He doesn't care much about these things.

.....

Soon after, Yamagami Haru finished handling all of Takahashi Ichisho's cases, and Takahashi Ichisho even made a special trip to Komikado Law Firm to express his gratitude to Komikado Kensuke.

He also said that once the compensation for his wrongful imprisonment is paid, he will earn some more money to repay the legal fees that Sato Miwako paid for him.

It also revealed that Kataoka Yumi has been indicted.

Kensuke Komikado is content to keep these things in mind.

After seeing Takahashi Issei off, they saw Sato Miwako reappear at the law firm's entrance.

"Miss Miwako."

"You're not here this time to ask for your own legal fees back, are you?"

Kensuke Komikado joked.

"No, that's not it."

Miwako Sato: "I've come to sincerely thank you, Komikado-kun."

"Oh?"

"If it weren't for Komikado-kun, I probably wouldn't have been able to stay in the National Police Agency. Although my situation is a bit worse than before, it's still much better than I originally expected."

Before appearing in court to testify, Miwako Sato had already prepared herself for the possibility that she would not be able to stay in the police department any longer.

However, due to reports from Tokyo media, she became known as a "righteous police officer" among the public.

With this title, she gained the favor of a leader in the police department and did not encounter any difficulties.

During this time, she was busy with work, and only after she finished her work did she come over to formally thank Kensuke Komikado.

"You're too kind, Miss Miwako."

"Of course, besides that, there's one more thing I need to trouble you with, Komekado-kun."

Sato Miwako spoke softly, feeling slightly embarrassed.

After all, she came to express her gratitude, but now she has to trouble Kensuke Komikado.

Kensuke Komikado simply smiled at this.

"It's not troublesome. If it's a legal matter, you only need to pay a consultation fee."
