"Mom is really, all she has work in her head. The group came to a drink shop not far away, and each chose the pastries and drinks they needed, and Xiaolan began to complain.

"After all, she's a strong woman. Also, this time I met a great opponent. Xiaobai said while drinking juice on the side.

"......" Everyone present looked at Xiaobaizhong.

"Huh?" Xiaobai looked left and right curiously, did he say something wrong?

"Hehe, that's exactly what I think. The teacher will always spend all his time on work after taking on the defense. Kuriyama smiled.

"If only Dad could work so hard. With the contrast, it seems to hurt.

"Hehe, how can it be, Mr. Mori is very famous now, after all, as a sleeping Kogoro, no one doesn't know his name. Kuriyama seems to have a different view.

"That's right...... But...... But......" Xiaolan was still thinking about the rebuttal.

"Hehe......" Kuriyama smiled, not saying anything.

"Miss Kuriyama, what kind of case is Lawyer Concubine taking on this defense?" Seeing Xiaolan fall into embarrassment, Conan changed the subject.

"About a month ago, a case of a man's corpse was found in front of a construction site in Kakudo City. The victim was an employee of a company named Tsuyoshi Hirasawa, and a blood-stained iron pipe was left at the scene, and the victim was shot in the back of the head and died. Then from the car keys that fell at the scene, the suspect was found as a clue, that is, Mr. Shinji Usami, who was defended by the concubine's lawyer this time. Kuriyama succinctly put the case aside.

"And what does the prosecutor think was the motive for the killing?" Conan asked.

"It was three years ago when the victim accidentally knocked Mr. Usami's son down on the steps of a train while drunk. The kid was smart, but just like that, he died. Kuriyama said.

"......" The people present fell silent after hearing this, and as for Xiaobai, they frowned.

Although this kind of thing often happens, every time I hear it, it always makes people feel uncomfortable.

"It's too much. Xiaolan said softly.

"At that time, Pyeongtaek was prosecuted for causing death by negligence, but because he was drunk at the time, he was exonerated as an accident. Kuriyama nodded in agreement and continued.

"It's like a mentally ill person who kills someone in a state of insanity, and then the law says that he has no control over his condition and is not primarily responsible for the incident. Xiaobai said on the side.

"However, the patient can only spend the rest of his life in the hospital. Kuriyama Road.

"And the rest of Pingtaek's life is to hold others accountable for the mistakes he made?" Xiaobai responded.

"Therefore, the prosecutor believes that Mr. Usami killed Mr. Hirazawa because of his revenge for taking his son. Kuriyama did not respond positively to Xiaobai's question, but explained the motive for the case.

"It's very sympathetic. Xiaolan lowered her head and said.

"So, what did Mr. Usami say?" asked Conan.

"Well, he said he was drunk and doesn't remember anything. Kuriyama's answer was expected by Xiaobai.

"Usually, there are three possible scenarios like this. Xiaobai said his thoughts.

"First, I was really drunk, but it was too much of a coincidence. Second, exonerate yourself. Third, exonerate others. Everyone present looked at Xiao Bai, but Xiao Bai was not timid or had any other expression, but naturally said the possibility.

"So, I've heard from the teacher that Mr. Usami drank alcohol at his ex-wife's shop. Kuriyama thought for a moment and said.

"It's not getting early, do you want to look for clues for dinner?and, if I'm right, my aunt might be there later." Xiaobai glanced out the window, and then suggested to the people present.

"It's also possible. Kuriyama nodded.

"Then let's decide. Orchid said.

"But, ...... act like this," Kuriyama was clearly worried.

"Don't worry, Mom won't be angry. Xiaolan got up, trotted to Kuriyama's side, put her hands on Kuriyama's shoulders and smiled.

"Why are you so concerned about this?" Xiao Ai asked Xiao Bai as Xiao Lan and Li Shan were settling the bill.

"I can't say it's very important, I just think it's a little pathetic. Xiaobai replied.

"Pathetic?" Before she could react to the word, Conan questioned.

"Yes, everybody is to blame for the mistakes they make. But the law is not sound, and some people bring harm to others, leaving the living with grief and hatred. Maybe he'll mend his ways, but maybe he'll have forgotten the mistakes he's made?" replied, looking at Conan.

"But that's not an excuse to make mistakes. Conan frowned.

"I'd rather make mistakes than do nothing. Xiaobai lowered his head slightly, and the arc of the smile at the corner of his mouth expanded, like a smile like a crescent moon.

"What are you talking about?" Looking at Xiaobai at this moment, it was very strange to Conan, this was the first time he had seen such a Xiaobai.

Their ideas collided with sparks.

But for Xiao Ai, the hidden feeling under this smile seemed familiar, and she didn't dare to be sure.

Is that......

When I was in Osaka, when I told Jiichiro Numabuchi about his identity, the feeling that Xiaobai brought to him when he left the police car.

And now, because Xiao Lan's voice interrupted Xiao Wai to continue to think about that feeling and return to reality.

At this moment, Xiao Bai regained his usual smile, albeit as cunning as a fox.

But the smile just now is like ......

Death is coming......

"We're just talking about what's going to be good to eat. Conan turned around and smiled at Ran and Kuriyama.

"Don't worry, Conan, you won't be hungry. Kuriyama laughed from the side.

"Hmm. Conan smiled and nodded.

Then, the group set off towards Usami's ex-wife's shop.
