I'm trying out new AI
------
Kumiko Law Office.
"This is the information you asked me to gather, including the medical examination reports from the hospitals the three deceased had visited in the past."
Natsuki Koshimizu placed several documents on the table.
After investigating the Koshien case, she became Kusakabe's "ninja" and began collecting information for him.
Keisuke Kumiko picked up the document and flipped through it casually.
"Alright, what else?"
Natsuki Koshimizu took out another recorder.
"This is a recording where I posed as a colleague of the deceased village chief, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, and his daughter, Kuroiwa Reiko, at a hotel company dinner. It contains his daughter's opinion of him."
Keisuke Kumiko turned on the recorder and heard a noisy sound.
Among them was a drunken woman who kept complaining about the dirty things her father had done before he died.
After listening, Ai nodded and said, "It seems the situation is as you expected. These three people have used drugs in the past and have a long history of drug abuse."
"Well done, Miss Natsuki."
Keisuke Kumiko nodded in satisfaction. This was the information he wanted.
Seeing this, Natsuki Koshimizu immediately smiled and said,
"So, how much of the money I owe you can be offset by this operation?"
"About one hundred thousand."
Keisuke Kumiko said a number casually.
"That's too little!"
Koshimizu Natsuki frowned, obviously dissatisfied.
After Keisuke Kumiko helped her fight those two lawsuits, she still owed the other party 1.5 million.
If Keisuke Kumiko only gives her this amount each time, she doesn't know when she will be able to pay back the money.
"That's a lot! You ran a few errands for me and earned one-third of Nohara Hiroshi's monthly salary!"
Keisuke Kumiko took out an account book with a smile and drew a line on it.
"Remember, after fifteen more times, we'll be even."
"You're a vampire!"
Koshimizu Natsuki couldn't help but curse.
"Thank you for the compliment, and you're welcome."
Keisuke Kumiko raised an eyebrow, not feeling embarrassed but rather proud.
Natsuki Koshimizu looked at Kumiko's face, moved her mouth, and finally sighed.
She and Keisuke Kumiko had been together for a while, and it could be said that his personality was such that the more people scolded him, the happier he became.
He liked to see people angry and embarrassed.
"I've done so much for you, you should at least give me some fees for my hard work, right?"
Koshimizu Natsuki said helplessly.
Keisuke Kumiko thought about it and agreed that it was true that not all the fish in the pond could be killed at once.
So he took out his wallet and counted dozens of bills.
"Is this enough? It's a huge wad of big bills!"
What big bills? If you count them, people will think you've given a lot.
Natsuki Koshimizu took the money speechlessly.
Well, thirty... one thousand denominations.
"Can't you give me more? I've been so poor lately that I've been working part-time at a maid cafe in Akihabara. Every day I have to face the greasy faces of a bunch of fat otakus and smell the stench of them not showering. It's quite disgusting."
Keisuke Kumiko looked her up and down and said,
"How could a maid cafe hire a tomboy like you?"
"Of course not! I'm very popular there!"
Natsuki Koshimizu puffed out her chest proudly and reached out to lift the hair behind her head.
"Besides, I don't look like what you said. I can look quite good after tidying up a bit!"
"It's quite good. Giving those losers a couple of butt and leg massages. I guess they can pay me quite quickly, right?"
"..."
"Enough! Can't you say anything nice!"
Natsuki Koshimizu couldn't bear it anymore, so she grabbed her bag, stood up angrily, and walked towards the door.
"Next time you need my help, remember to come again!"
Kumiko called out to her.
The response she received was a slammed door.
"If you're like this, will any girl marry you in the future?" Ai complained mercilessly.
Keisuke Kumiko glanced at her and said, "Doraemon, I don't want to answer the same question a second time."
"The women in this world aren't as good as your wife in the game, are they?"
Ai curled her lips.
Pause.
Her gaze turned to the side of the table again.
There was a cage on the table with a hamster about one or two months old inside. The hamster turned its big eyes in all directions, curiously observing the unfamiliar surroundings.
"What did you buy this for?"
"Of course, it's for experiments."
Keisuke Kumiko took out an ear of wheat and teased the hamster in the cage.
The little hamster seemed very timid. As soon as it saw humans approaching, it immediately jumped onto the wheel and started running with a squeaking sound. It looked very cute.
"A cruel guy."
Ai immediately said mercilessly.
Hey, you shouldn't say that. Haven't you experimented on enough guinea pigs before?
"A mouse is a mouse, and a hamster is a hamster."
Ai said this righteously, extending her small hand and touching the cage.
The hamster squeaked and ran even faster.
Observing the cute appearance of the little hamster, Ai turned her head and looked at Keisuke Kumiko.
"Doing that to poor Saori, do you still have a conscience?"
"What Saori? Please stop giving random names to your test subjects, okay?"
Kumiko rolled his eyes.
Of course, he could also buy mice, but the pet store selling hamsters was nearby.
Then he took out a newly bought camera from another shopping bag.
"From today on, I'll give you a task: feed it on time every day and record its condition from time to time."
"As for feeding the food..."
Keisuke Kumiko took out a package of wheat and some vegetables from the sack on the floor.
Ai glanced at the food on the floor.
These were bought from the villagers of Moonshadow Island and are locally grown foods.
She thought for a moment and said, "Do you suspect that the deaths of the three people were also related to their long-term consumption of local food from Moonshadow Island, because the soil and water sources there have been contaminated by the waste from the Baiwan Pharmaceutical Company's branch factory?"
Keisuke Kumiko nodded. "That's right, so I need to do more experiments to see if there's any connection here."
"So you're gambling."
Ai couldn't help but say, "If there's nothing wrong with this hamster later, it will be difficult to win this lawsuit."
"You're wrong. This lawsuit was difficult to win from the start."
However, Kumiko shook his head and said that.
There was no surveillance at the scene. The police detected the suspect's fingerprints and DNA on the deceased's body and the murder weapon. The suspect had a clear motive for committing the crime. He sent a warning letter to the detective, left a death message at the scene, and committed suicide out of fear of being a criminal. Finally, the detective connected everything... Everything seemed to be a bad situation no matter how you looked at it.
"Well, that sounds troublesome."
Ai nodded.
Due to various unfavorable factors, even she began to doubt whether it was really the person who was killed by Asai Narumi.
"Do you believe that the situation is really as the client said?"
Ai couldn't help but ask.
"If the truth is that Asai killed the person, and not what she said, that the victims had died one after another before the crime, wouldn't all your efforts be in vain?"
"Doraemon, I told you, didn't I?"
Keisuke Kumiko looked at her and said calmly.
"As lawyers, we never worry about the truth of the matter."
"Even if the client has lied to us, the only thing we can do is believe them unconditionally."
"After all, if even the client doesn't trust him..."
"Then there is almost nothing left in this world that lawyers can and should believe in."
