"No way!"
Miwako quickly waved her hand.
In a normal male-female relationship, if one of the two women of the same man speaks like this, it would definitely be a sarcastic and provocative statement!
However, the women around Natsume have complicated relationships, but they are actually very close. For Eri Kisaki, this is just a normal question, no different from asking "Have you eaten?"
"Eri-nee, please don't say that~"
"Miwako, you don't care—"
Eri glanced at Natsume with her beautiful eyes: "I don't know if others care, but what if they're planning to take you to a hotel? Wouldn't I be ruining their plans?"
"..."
Miwako sighed inwardly.
Eri-nee!
Why do you always provoke him?
I never get the better end of the deal; instead, I get teased!
"Eri, you're right~"
Following up on Eri's words, Xia Ye said with a mischievous grin, "Miwako and I were planning to get intimate after the movie, but you ruined it. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to make up for it with you—you can choose the hotel yourself, or we can go to my place~"
"Pooh!"
Eri gave him a reproachful look.
This scoundrel really doesn't know when to spout dirty talk!
Accompanying him to a hotel or home isn't a big deal, after all, we're already an "old married couple," and it's become second nature to us.
The key is--

"I'm dealing with a case I'm working on, I don't have time for romantic escapades with you!"
"puff!"
Miwako covered her mouth and chuckled.
Eri-nee's words are quite fluent!
You know it's a life of pleasure and romance.
"case?"
Xia Ye became interested.
With Eri Kisaki's reputation in the Japanese legal world and her own outstanding abilities, she felt that there were not many tricky cases left.
From what she said, she has one in hand right now?
"Um..."
Eri Kisaki told them about the case.
According to regulations, lawyers are not allowed to disclose details of their cases to unrelated individuals; however—
Eri Kisaki is not a rigid or rule-abiding person.
Natsume and Miwako's relationship is not that of ordinary outsiders.
Talking to the two of them helps relieve some of the work pressure.
...
They ordered coffee and chatted while drinking it.
"Prosecutor Kujo?"
As soon as Eri mentioned the name, Natsume raised an eyebrow.
"yes--"
Eri Kisaki wasn't surprised at all; she knew this guy would be interested in Prosecutor Kujo, after all—
As long as she is a beautiful woman with distinctive features.
Xia Ye will definitely be interested!
This is a pattern that Eri Kisaki has summarized over a long period of time.
And look at Xia Ye's appearance.
It's obvious that Reiko Kujo should have appeared in the so-called plot, otherwise how could she have left a deep impression on this guy who has been with countless women?
"That's the ace prosecutor from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, the beautiful prosecutor known as the 'Madonna of the prosecutor world'!"
"Kujo Reiko~"
"Oh~"
Xia Ye nodded, rubbing her chin thoughtfully, and said, "I've seen her on TV. She is indeed a very beautiful prosecutor. Cough cough, of course, like you, Ying Li, she must be famous because of her outstanding abilities!"
"Stop flattering me, just tell me honestly, are you interested in her?"
Eri Kisaki pouted and snorted, "If you're interested, I can help you. You know, she's a workaholic; no man can usually get a date with her!"
"Eri-nee-san?"
Miwako's eyes widened upon hearing this.
Am I right?
Eri actually helps Natsume pick up girls?
She's not Yukiko; she used to have absolutely no interest in this kind of thing!
"what happened?"
Seeing her exaggerated expression, Eri Kisaki could only helplessly explain:
"You don't know—"
"This prosecutor, Kujo, is fair and conscientious, and his attitude towards pursuing the truth and his sense of justice are unmatched, but for some reason he always seems to target me!"
"She's so capable, every time she prosecutes me I'm exhausted. If Xia Ye could really get her, at least he could keep her attention off me all the time."
"In this case!"
"I'd even do it if you asked me to help me pick up girls!"
"..."
Miwako blinked and exclaimed:
"Eri-nee!"
Even you've gone astray!
In order to solve her own troubles, Yingli actually asked Xia Ye, that womanizer, to seduce the beautiful prosecutor.
This is practically pushing them into a fire pit!
but--
Even though she was supposed to be a champion of justice, policewoman Sato Miwa only said it verbally, she ultimately chose to collude with the "evil forces"!
After all, she herself has already fallen into a state of utter depravity, so how can she have the right to condemn others?
Eri Kisaki did not refute Miwako's claim that she had turned bad, because that was the truth—
As a top lawyer in Japan, she has witnessed the filth and evil of society during her work.
Although she didn't join in the wrongdoing back then, these experiences have made it easier for her to turn bad now!
Once moral values are broken.
The speed of their downfall is truly astounding!
Even Eri herself was surprised. Unlike when she was with Ran, she had some reservations, but this time, after betraying Prosecutor Kujo, she felt no remorse whatsoever.
I've really become a bad woman!
But it doesn't matter, as long as I'm happy~
"So? Interested?"
With a slender hand brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, Eri's beautiful eyes shimmered with a seductive light as she looked at Natsume and said in a tempting tone:
"That's a high-ranking prosecutor with a special status, it's bound to be exciting!"
"interested in!"
Now that things have come to this point, Xia Ye naturally won't pretend to be reserved.
She's a beautiful prosecutor; how could a man who's watched countless movies on the subject not be interested!
"Then I'll leave it to you, Eri!"
"Easy to say!"
Xia Ye and Fei Yingli "colluded" and made a vow by high-fiving, thus deciding the fate of a righteous and earnest beautiful prosecutor.
Miwako rolled her eyes.
These two are acting quite formally. Anyone who didn't know better would think they'd reached some serious collaboration agreement. Who would have thought they were teaming up to pick up girls?
Next-
Eri Kisaki introduced the case.
The case is actually not complicated.
Eri Kisaki's client, Rio Takeyama, is the owner of a karaoke bar. She has been indicted by the Tokyo Public Prosecutor's Office, where Reiko Kujo works, on charges of intentional homicide. The trial is scheduled to begin in a few days.
These are all minor issues.
Eri Kisaki has been involved in this kind of lawsuit many times.
With the client's cooperation, victory is entirely possible.
however--
The problem lies in this coordination.
Eri Kisaki's client, Rio Takeyama, has decided to plead guilty.
This gave Eri Kisaki a real headache. Her client herself didn't want to win the case, so what could she, as a lawyer, do?
With teammates dragging the team down, and facing the formidable opponent, Reiko Kujo, whom they can only defeat by going all out every time, there's no way they can win!
"Has the client's attitude changed?"
"Or were you prepared to plead guilty beforehand?"
Xia Ye immediately noticed the crux of the problem.
"Of course it changed later—"
Eri Kisaki sighed and said, "I'm not so arrogant as to think I can win a case when my client is uncooperative."
"If she had confessed earlier, I wouldn't have taken the case!"
As the only legendary lawyer in Japan with a 100% win rate, it's impossible to say that Eri Kisaki doesn't care about this record.
Therefore, she would definitely not choose a case that she was bound to lose to take the risk.
"So you were coerced or bribed?"
This is a reasonable guess. After all, everyone has weaknesses, and weaknesses can be exploited. Once someone's weaknesses are exploited, they can only be manipulated by others!
"That's unlikely—"
Eri Kisaki shook her head helplessly again:
"Although the deceased, Kazuki Oi, was a company president, his company wasn't very large. I've already told Ms. Takeyama that I can handle it, so it's unlikely that Ms. Takeyama will be threatened—"
"As for bribery, Ms. Takeyama has no relatives or friends. Her only son disappeared and died fifteen years ago, presumably due to being kidnapped by Oi Kazuki. It is unlikely that she would be tempted by profit to take the blame!"
"A standard revenge template—"
The plot starts with the same cliché script as "Detective Conan", but the rest doesn't follow the usual pattern. Instead of revenge, the person who should have taken revenge ends up taking the blame for the real culprit, which is quite interesting!
