Only when the figures of the group disappeared around the corner of the restaurant did Ritsuko Usui shift her gaze from one of them and tug at her skirt:

If she had known she would be so embarrassed, she definitely wouldn't have had that thought...

This body is so weak, it's practically powerless to fight back...

Ritsuko Usui lay on the long table, lost in thought, and before she knew it, several minutes had passed.

"Yes, Attorney Usui, use my clothes."

Lin Xiaofeng's pleasant voice came from the table.

Ritsuko Usui slowly raised her head in disbelief: Shouldn't he be going to see Attorney Kisaki? What's he doing here?

Lin Xiaofeng draped the clothes over her legs and laughed:

"This is a small punishment and a form of retaliation against a petty thief who eavesdrops on others."

"me……"

Upon realizing she had been discovered, Ritsuko Usui panicked, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, her thighs gradually warming up.

"I did not do it on purpose……"

After a long silence, she blurted out these words, then raised her head and said stubbornly:

"I don't want to lose to Attorney Fei, but she's been way ahead of me from the very beginning. There's just one thing I'll never be able to catch up to..."

"That's you, Lin..."

"Ah!" Her eyes suddenly widened, and she exclaimed hastily:

"Mr. Lin, what are you doing? Put me down right now!"

Lin Xiaofeng carried her in his arms, his face full of concern: "1.4 But Attorney Usui, aren't you feeling unwell and unable to move?"

"It wouldn't be good if you caused trouble for the staff by staying here alone at this time."

Ritsuko Usui was stunned: Is there such a saying?

For a moment, she, who was speaking eloquently in court, actually forgot to refute.

"By the way, where is your room?"

Ritsuko Usui instinctively wanted to reply, but Lin Xiaofeng answered his own question instead:

"Oh, I remember now, it's next to Eri's room. But it seems like the soundproofing isn't very good. Why don't you stay in my room for the night, Attorney Usui?"

"..."

……

The stars and moon are shining brightly.

Eri Kisaki moved from Tokyo to Karuizawa today, and the amount of exercise she did far exceeded her physical limits. She fell into a deep sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The room next door was pitch black.

537. Victory is justice.

At three in the morning, the night was as still as water.

On the third-floor corridor, barely audible footsteps echoed, then faded away after a long while.

At the door of a room, a man in a leather jacket stood with a towel in his hand and a gloomy expression.

He stared at the room number 302 hanging on the door, his eyes fierce as he muttered to himself:

"Attorney Usui, I'm sorry."

"I will not allow you to win this case. Once you're dead, everything will be resolved..."

Saku Norifumi took a room key out of his pocket and placed it next to the reader.

With a "beep," the tightly closed door opened a crack, and he slowly walked in.

After learning that Ichido Usui-no-Ichiko would not give up defending the second factory, he seized an opportunity to steal her spare magnetic card from the front desk downstairs.

This was all to ensure that Ritsuko Usui would never have the opportunity to appear in court again.

In the corridor, the door to room 302 slowly closed, the faint sound of the door closing blending into the chirping of cicadas, almost imperceptible.

In the room, the bright moonlight fell on the bedside, making a blurry human figure stand out.

Saku Norihiko stared intently at the silhouette, his legs slowly moving towards the head of the bed, his breathing suppressed, long and soft.

The towel in his hand, which reeked of alcohol, gradually became pungent in the room.

Saku Norifumi stopped walking and stared coldly at the person whose head was huddled under the covers:

Simply smother the woman with a towel until she is unconscious, then hang her, and then disguise the place as a secret room.

They can then deceive everyone and sever all ties.

This woman will disappear from the world under the guise of defending the factory and committing suicide out of guilt.

Thinking of this, the last trace of hesitation in Saku Norifumi's heart suddenly disappeared.

He bent down, carefully pulled off the blanket, and after seeing the blurry outline of a head, he pressed the towel containing ether onto it.

At that moment, the blanket, which had been motionless, suddenly "flew" into the air and then landed on his head without warning, like a veil.

Saku Hoshi thought to himself, "This is bad," the worst thing had happened.

—The woman woke up.

However, he was prepared.

Saku Norifumi placed one hand behind his waist, pulled out a gleaming dagger from under his belt, and decisively threw off the blanket covering his body with the other.

After seeing the person standing on the bed, seemingly oblivious and having forgotten about the escape,

.

Without any hesitation, Saku Norifumi stepped onto the bed and immediately raised a knife to stab his opponent.

At that moment, the figure standing on the bed swiftly bent his knee and kicked out.

Before he could dodge, Saku Hoji felt a sharp pain in front of him.

He groaned, nearly spitting blood, and his body flew backward, crashing into the wall, causing further injury to his back.

After the figure finished its attack, it stopped moving, as if it were admiring his disheveled state.

Saku Norifumi, with one hand on his chest and the other against the wall, slowly stood up, panting heavily, still shaken.

He raised his head in disbelief, looking at the shadowy figure. His mind had given up thinking; only one thought remained:

Why is this woman so fierce...?

The next second, the figure stepped into the moonlight, revealing its form, its voice laced with sarcasm:

"Attorney Saku, you're in great spirits! It's so late and you're still here to play cops and robbers with me. I'm truly flattered."

Upon hearing the sound, Saku Norifumi was struck dumb, and the blade in his hand slipped silently, making a "clink" sound.

But he couldn't hear anything at that moment; the man's words kept echoing in his mind.

After a long while, he came to his senses, slowly raised his hand, pointed at Lin Xiaofeng, and said in utter terror:

"You...how did you get here...this...this isn't..."

"Isn't this Attorney Usui's room?" Lin Xiaofeng finished his sentence for him, then sneered:

"You haven't forgotten that this was originally my room, have you?"

"What's so strange about me switching back?"

"As for you, Er, I really didn't expect that, under the circumstances where you were the prime suspect, Lingju would suddenly choose to commit violence."

Saku Hoshi finally couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His elaborate plan, meticulously crafted over several days, failed because the two of them suddenly decided to switch rooms.

At this moment, Saku Norifumi really wanted to question Lin Xiaofeng: Why did you change rooms again?!

But out of his love for life, he chose to keep it to himself.

“No… there’s nothing to say. It’s all to prevent Attorney Usui from winning that case…” He shook his head and gave up the struggle.

"Bang bang bang-"

The sound of violently banging on the door rang out.

"Attorney Usui, are you alright? What happened to you?"

"Are you in love?"

Eri's voice was filled with anxiety; it seemed that the noise of Saku Norishi hitting the wall had woken her up.

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at the lean man crouching in the corner, trembling, and couldn't help but frown:

Something about this scene looks a bit off...

Lin Xiaofeng shook his head, turned on the light in the room, and then opened the door.

Eri Kisaki appeared at the door, dressed neatly. Upon seeing him, her face fell, and she questioned him:

"How did you end up here? Isn't this Attorney Usui's room?"

"Don't tell me you two switched the rooms back..."

Lin Xiaoqi Feng let [open two shirts and place Ling (, face not changed) color: "I kicked my flag again. Behind the umbrella, I will change the room and chat back, but these are not the point.

"The point is, if I hadn't changed the room, Attorney Saku might have made a huge mistake."

Eri looked at him suspiciously, said nothing, and silently went into the room.

Inside the room, upon seeing 450 arrive, Saku Hofumi weakly greeted him, "Hime...Hime Attorney..."

Seeing the knife and bloodstains on the ground, Eri Kisaki quickly looked at the man behind her. After a moment, confirming that the bloodstains were not his, she let out a long sigh and said:

"Tell me what happened, in as much detail as possible."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded and recounted his near-death experience.

Saku Hoji readily admitted to this:

With witnesses and physical evidence right in front of him, he can't very well deny that he came to find Lin Xiaofeng to film a movie, can he?

Eri Kisaki sighed and said, "Attorney Saku, you're being too foolish."

"I originally thought you would figure this out quickly, but I didn't expect you were already prepared to kill someone."

Saku Hoshi smiled bitterly and said:

"When the six people from my hometown sent me messages asking for my help, I also thought about staying out of it. But how could I let go of such a long-standing relationship?"

"Besides, I also gave Attorney Usui a chance, but she didn't cherish it..."

He suddenly raised his head and, taking what might be his last chance, asked a question he had always wanted to know:

"Attorney Fei, is winning or losing really that important?"

"You maintain an undefeated record, which must involve exploiting legal loopholes to bully the weak, right?"

"But does such a victory truly have any meaning?"

538. Accompanying Yukiko to her childhood friend's house

"It's meaningful, of course it's meaningful," Eri Kisaki replied without hesitation.

"If you always choose to defend the side with the highest pay, you will definitely fail in the end. The reason you won't fail is because you choose the right person to defend beforehand and work hard for them."

"This is the right kind of effort."

Saku Hoji stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Is this really possible?

Eri Kisaki didn't say much. She glanced at the chaotic surroundings, took Lin Xiaofeng's arm, and raised her eyebrows, saying:

"You can stay in my room tonight..."

She added, "What I mean is, this place still needs to be treated as a crime scene. Staying here any longer will definitely hinder the collection of clues. Don't get me wrong..."

Lin Xiaofeng chuckled inwardly, but feigned gratitude and replied:

"Then I thank Attorney Fei for her kind assistance."
