Her age is hard to judge.
Her delicate skin looks even more delicate than that of a young girl, but her aura is like that of a battle-hardened empress, with an air of looking down on the world.
Michiko Tie had an unpleasant expression on her face, but her tone on the phone was completely different, as if she was bathed in spring breeze: "Thank you so much, Mr. Sato...
I understand. I will definitely suppress public opinion as soon as possible...
I will ask someone to do it now and will give you a reply tomorrow at the latest..."
Ordinary politicians would not be able to make Michiko Tetsu speak with such an attitude.
However, Mr. Sato is a little different. He is a popular candidate for the next prime minister and has countless political resources around him. The Tie family is only a middle-level family among them and is not at the top.
After hanging up the phone, Michiko Tetsu turned around with a frown on her face.
The butler behind him said respectfully: "Madam, the situation does not seem optimistic?"
Michiko Tetsu put down her phone and took out a cigarette, but didn't light it. "Yeah, there were already a few old-timers watching us and wanted to get a piece of the pie. This leak was probably done by a spy from the other side. I didn't expect there would be a nosy lawyer. It's really troublesome."
The Tie Group made a huge transformation investment and chose to enter the pharmaceutical field. Unexpectedly, it soon ran into big trouble. A leak occurred in the laboratory, killing not only many researchers but also harmful substances leaked out.
Although it was stopped in time and remedial measures were taken, the matter was still leaked by several hostile families, causing great public opinion in society.
For a time, all the pressure came to the Tie Group.
If this matter cannot be resolved as soon as possible, the Tie Group's transformation, which involved huge investment, will fail before it even begins, and the money and connections invested will naturally be wasted.
This was something Michiko Tetsu couldn't accept.
The butler's expression remained unchanged: "I have sent people to conduct an internal investigation."
"It's useless. These people are usually deadly." Tie Michiko said, "How is the negotiation with the undefeated queen of the legal world going?"
The housekeeper shook his head. "The other party has stopped communicating with us directly. We sent someone to her law firm this morning, and her assistant said she was on vacation today. I guess she has focused all her energy on the second trial next week, right?"
"This is really troublesome." Michiko Tetsu turned the cigarette between her fingers.
In fact, under normal circumstances, even if Eri Kisaki has the title of the undefeated queen in the legal world, she would not be able to fight against such a big family.
Michiko Tetsu has countless ways to suppress things.
But this time it's different, because several hostile families have joined forces to stop her, so some of the default unspoken rules are difficult to implement.
It's like a football game. She originally has countless ways to make her favorite team win, but when there are a few people standing behind the opposing team who have the same means as her and are staring at her closely, the game becomes exceptionally fair.
And in this case.
Eri Kisaki is a lawyer with a very good reputation and good word of mouth.
This became the key factor in deciding this matter.
Michiko thought for a moment and said, "We can't wait any longer. Although Councillor Sato didn't say it explicitly, his meaning is very clear.
If this negative impact cannot be resolved immediately, the Tie Group will be thrown out of the battle. We have spent several years to squeeze into this circle, and we cannot be kicked out because of this kind of thing. "
The butler lowered his head, waiting for his master's orders.
"Please ask that woman to come back so I can talk to her in person," said Michiko Tetsu.
Housekeeper: "I'll send someone right away... Madam, is this just a simple request?"
What the housekeeper actually asked was whether to leave any traces. If someone saw that Kisaki Eri was taken away by people from the Tie Group, if something happened to a semi-public figure like her, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Michiko Tie smiled and said, "Of course I have to prepare for both situations. If she agrees to my request, I can spend a little more money.
If she insists on her righteous rhetoric, then we will have to find other ways to make her submit."
Butler: "I understand. I won't let anyone reveal their tracks."
"Don't send too many people. There are many eyes watching us now." Tetsu Michiko asked again, "By the way, how are the preparations for the 'witnesses' going?"
"We are almost ready. All of them are clients who have worked with Fei Law Firm before. Now they have been completely won over by us."
Michiko Tie rubbed her brows.
The butler saw this action and tactfully left the study.
After the door closed, Michiko walked to the window, looked at the gardener trimming the plants in the yard, and murmured, "Can a lawyer who has a bad lifestyle and a bad reputation still represent justice?"
Her beautiful face reflected in the glass window showed a terrifying expression like a poisonous snake ready to bite someone.
Chapter 22: Kisaragi's suspicion is a Shura field
The toilet at the crime scene was temporarily blocked off.
Chen Nuo stood at the door, looking at the large pool of blood on the toilet floor, and began to recall his impressions of the case.
My impression is that this seems to be a murder case of passion.
The deceased, Miss Himeno Yayoi, forced the murderer, Jusan Tonoyama, to divorce his wife. Tonoyama was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he came up with an idea to invite her to a cafe to negotiate and then kill her.
The secret room in this case seemed to be made of bandages.
Donoyama pretended to have a finger injury and wrapped a thick bandage around his hand in advance. He then stabbed the victim with a knife and threw the body into the toilet cubicle through the gap above the door.
Since then, Dianshan, who was too big to crawl into the toilet cubicle through the gap, was naturally cleared of suspicion.
The idea is great, and the technique is ingenious.
But unfortunately, Chen Nuo happened to pass by today, and he certainly couldn't miss the opportunity to get free miners.
However, Chen Nuo looked at Ji Ye Yayoi's thin body and wondered if she could be efficient when mining since she was so thin.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a commotion at the door, and it sounded like Xiaolan's voice.
Chen Nuo walked out and saw Xiaolan standing at the door with her arms open, trying hard to stop the guests from leaving the crime scene.
But her childish face and deliberately mature attire make people think that she is easy to bully and does not seem to be very intimidating.
"Are you kidding me? Are you going to leave us here waiting for the police?"
"Just say yes, I have to go on a date soon."
"My favorite show is about to start. I don't have time to waste here."
The guests all expressed their own reasons, and pointed the finger at Xiaolan.
Xiaolan: "But, but, the murderer hasn't been caught yet..."
The one who caused the most trouble among this group of people was Dianshan Shisan.
He was anxious to run out and get rid of the bandage on his hand. As long as he got rid of it, even if the police found him later on the grounds that he had entered the toilet, they would have no way to catch him.
Donshan Jusan walked up to Xiaolan and said, "Excuse me, I just received a call and have to go back to the rugby club. Please move aside."
Xiaolan: "Could you please wait a moment? The police should be here soon. At least we can record your statement..."
"Are you kidding me? Am I a criminal?"
Dianshan Shisan deliberately pretended to be fierce, and his saliva almost sprayed on Xiaolan's face when he spoke.
Xiaolan had no choice but to keep backing away, and soon her back hit the glass door behind her. The electronic reminder sound hanging on the door kept playing "Welcome".
After seeing this, Dianshan Shisan became even more aggressive and bumped directly into Xiaolan's chest.
Chen Nuo discovered that Xiaolan only protected her body with her hands and did not make any karate stance. It seemed that when facing someone she was not sure whether he was a criminal or not, Xiaolan still could not attack casually.
Just as he was about to walk over and teach Dianshan a lesson, another person got there first.
"It's not a gentleman's behavior to treat a girl like this." Kisaki Eri walked over and stood in front of Xiaolan.
Kisaki Eri's voice was not loud, but it was filled with an unquestionable sense of oppression, and it felt like the emotionless tone of voice when a verdict is announced in a court.
Moreover, she was already very tall, and because she was wearing high heels, her visual effect was no worse than that of the tall and burly Dionyama.
The rugby coach, Jusan Doyama, was frightened by Kisaki Eri's aura and took a few steps back.
He felt guilty for having just killed someone, so his tone softened: "I just want to leave here. I really have something to do. Can you let me go first?"
"Sorry, no." Hibiki took out the business card of the firm and showed it to the people present. "Because this case is rather special, if we let the murderer leave at this time, he will probably destroy the evidence, so I have to trouble everyone to stay here for a while and wait for the police to investigate and collect evidence.
If you have any doubts about my actions, you can come to my office afterwards and I will give you a reasonable explanation. "
Eri Kisaki's powerful aura makes her words very convincing.
Although the customers present were reluctant, they at least temporarily gave up the idea of leaving by force and returned to their seats to wait for the Metropolitan Police Department to arrive.
However, there was no Tenzan Jusan here, and he really wanted to destroy the bandage stained with the deceased's blood before the police left.
So Toyama Jusan continued to argue: "Why don't you let me go? You are not from the Metropolitan Police Department, so you have no right to detain everyone here."
He was clever in trying to stir up the emotions of others.
Chen Nuo came over and patted his shoulder, smiling and said, "Since you are so anxious, I will let everyone leave as soon as possible."
"What do you mean?" Dianshan frowned.
Kisaragi also looked at Chen Nuo with curiosity.
"Because the murderer is you, Mr. Dianshan." Chen Nuo said calmly, "As long as you are arrested, the other guests can leave."
Dianshan Shisan was so frightened by these words that his eyes almost popped out.
However, he quickly adjusted his state and confronted Chen Nuo: "Are you kidding? That's a secret room, and what evidence do you have to prove that I killed that person?"
Chen Nuo: "The evidence is in your hands. If I'm not mistaken, the bandage should be stained with the deceased's blood, right?"
In front of everyone, Chen Nuo quickly recounted what had happened.
Although Dianshan Shisan was tall and strong, his psychological quality was average and he soon knelt on the ground and repented.
He also accused the deceased of being a vicious woman with tears in his eyes, who forced him to divorce his wife and said he had no other choice but to kill her.
Chen Nuo walked around Dianshan Thirteen and came to the corpse.
Soon, a ball of green light flew towards his face.
Because there were too many people here, Chen Nuo did not enter the mine interface to check, but he couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face.
He didn't know that Conan on the side was looking at him with a very complicated look.
Conan didn't understand why this guy solved the case so quickly, it felt like there was a script.
It was obvious that he had put all his energy into solving the case this time, and he even pretended not to see it when Xiaolan was being bullied.
The purpose is to find the clues as soon as possible and defeat Chen Nuo.
But just when he vaguely guessed that the method of this secret room might be related to this door, he was hiding in the toilet to study it.
Chen Nuo simply brought the murderer in as if he was identifying a crime scene.
It makes no sense and states the murderer's crime.
Conan looked at the man kneeling on the ground wiping his tears and complaining about being entangled by a vicious woman, and wondered how he could be a murderer with such a look.
You deserve to be caught.
.
After the event was over, the group came out of the cafe.
Chen Nuo wanted to leave, but Fei Yingli pulled him aside and said that she wanted to talk to him about the case again.
Chen Nuo had no choice but to accompany Kisaki Eri and Xiaolan shopping, and took the initiative to carry their bags.
Although Xiaolan's expression was a little unnatural, she didn't say much.
Conan, on the other hand, glared at Chen Nuo with dissatisfaction, made some sarcastic remarks from time to time, and always turned the topic to Miyano Shiho. His intentions were too obvious.
This made Chen Nuo feel a little unhappy. He thought, I didn't provoke you, why are you guarding against me like a thief?
So Chen Nuo launched a counterattack against Conan.
Because Conan is just a child, he can't beat him up without any reason. What's more, Conan is a smart boy and behaved particularly well today, which doesn't give Chen Nuo any chance to teach the child a lesson.
But this does not pose a problem for Chen Nuo.
There's no flaw in you, but don't we still have Xiaolan?
So, whenever Xiaolan tried on clothes in the mall, Chen Nuo would praise her generously, making Xiaolan's face blush.
In addition, he used the fact that he was carrying a shopping bag as an excuse to ask Xiaolan to feed him an ice cream cone.
Conan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and the light reflected from his glasses was green, but he couldn't do anything to Chen Nuo.
Of course, all this was done when Kisaki Eri went to try on clothes.
