Nikaido Law Firm.

In the office sat a meticulous lawyer in a suit and tie and combed with waxed hair.

On his wrist he wore a silver-rimmed watch, and on the silver edge were three small characters engraved - Rashomon.

Erjie Tang Yaren.

He is the founder of Nikaido Law Firm and one of the most famous gold medal law firms in Tokyo's legal circles.

A lawyer who holds the law is a weapon.

Excellent lawyers, the most sophisticated of them all.

If Shingo Watanabe is a wrong knife, he has an almost harsh principle of justice, and he can only use it with an open mind.

Then Nikaido is a black gun, he doesn't care if the client's heart is black or white, and money can pull his trigger.

Does he love money?

No, he was never short of money.

Victory is justice.

He just likes to peddle "justice" and watch people line up one by one to get money to buy "justice".

"Knock knock."

"Nikaido sensei, the customer who made the appointment has arrived."

"Let them in."

Two men walked in.

They are all wearing cheap suits, and some tattoos can be seen on the neckline and cuffs.

This kind of appearance fits a group.

Gangsters.

Anyone will have legal needs, from legal counsel for multinational groups to mediation between two families, and gangsters are no exception.

Nikaido's criteria for selecting clients are only one person, someone who can afford to pay for his legal problems.

……

"Nikaido sensei, it's been a long time, we're here for the Hasegawa beauty salon."

The older of the two customers said.

"As you know, the Ministry of Health and Welfare is behind our industry, and billions of dollars in medical support money from across the country are realized through us every year."

Nikaido leaned back in the boss's chair and said with a smile:

"I think you've got the price ready."

"Of course, we're willing to give you that price."

The other party took out a secret letter.

Nikaido opened it and looked at it, smiling.

"Why would you rather ask me for more than ten times the price than choose to settle out of court."

"He wants us to apologize publicly in addition to the compensation, he wants to make a big deal out of it, and we don't want to."

"Have you ever thought about why an ordinary salaryman with average economic conditions would rather put a high amount of compensation than let you publicly apologize and make a big deal about it?"

“……”

"I'll tell you a story."

Nikaido always had an eerie smile on his face.

He took off his watch and placed it on the table.

The hands of the mechanical watch ticked and ticked, and in the indentation of Rashomon, there were blood dripping.

"There was a guy who needed a lot of money, so he came up with a solution.

He fell in love and married a woman, lived together for 6 years, and had children, and in the eyes of outsiders, they were an extremely loving couple.

Until one day, my wife died, because I went to a plastic surgery hospital for double eyelid surgery, because the operation process was not standardized.

Then, the husband sued, and from the perspective of the loss of his beloved wife, he complained bitterly about the plastic surgery hospital and the medical system, and put the matter in front of the public, which was known to everyone and aroused sympathy from public opinion......"

"You're talking about us?"

The younger of the two couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"No, it's just a story."

Nikaido glanced at him with a smile, obviously smiling, but it made people feel that this glance was a little scary.

After that, when the matter has subsided, the husband will take the insurance he bought for his wife, and the beneficiary is his own, and go to the insurance company to settle the claim.

Married for many years, the husband and wife are in love, the two even have children, insurance is bought every year, and medical accidents and deaths are well known.

Insurance claims are a matter of course.

In 6 years, this person has obtained a fortune that can not be spent in a lifetime.

What do you guys think, this story? ”

"Fraudulent insurance? This person is cheating on insurance?! ”

The young man was obviously a little out of breath, but after listening to the "story", he suddenly realized, stood up and said excitedly.

"Take it steady."

The older man reprimanded him.

"Nikaido sensei, his behavior is illegal, can we countersue."

Nikaido listened, smiled and leaned back in his seat.

"It's just a story, not necessarily the truth.

In fact, he may have been bored with living with his wife for a long time, or he suddenly lacked money, and decided to kill his wife and cheat on insurance.

Of course, it is also possible that there is no insurance fraud from beginning to end, which is a simple accident. ”

"Nikaido sensei, can't the law define this kind of crime?"

"The law can only regulate people's behavior, not their thinking."

Nikaido's fingers tapped on the table.

"Whether he committed a crime or not, only he knows...... Maybe he didn't even know it. ”

People are like people who are born to forget the truth that is not good for themselves, and only take the lies that are beneficial to themselves seriously. - Rashomon

The watch's hands tick.

The blood in the Rashomon indentation became thicker and thicker.

The story told by Rasho.

Is it the truth, or is it a lie?

Facts do not represent the truth, lies sometimes turn out to be the truth, and everyone interprets a different story.

It doesn't matter, what matters is the person who listens to the story, believe it or not.

The story of Nikaido is like magic.

Influencing the two listeners in front of him.

Their minds are combing through the story on their own, choosing which truth to believe according to their values, according to their life experiences.

And at the same time.

In Nikaido's field of vision, blood-colored characters like substance were constantly emerging from the top of the two of them's heads, and rows were arranged in front of his eyes.

Name, date of birth, friends, loved ones, family situation, life experience, proudest things, most regretful things, most shameful things......

If you believe the "truth" I have stated, I will have insight into your life.

As the two sank into the "testimony of Rashomon".

Nikaido can clearly understand the entire life experienced by the two people sitting in front of him.

……

Ueno-senpai drove the car.

Su Qi sat in the co-pilot and thought about things.

They had just come out of Mr. Okimura's house.

I have just read the insurance policies with huge compensation, and the situation has been reported to Mr. Watanabe.

This concludes the investigation protocol.

Mr. Watanabe refused to accept this representation.

"Senior, do you say that Mr. Okimura is trying to cheat the insurance, and whether his marriage with his wife is real."

"It's not good, whether it's a fraud or not, the truth may only be known to him."

Maybe he didn't know it himself.

Wenger Jolie wrote in his book: In this world, even the happiest marriage will have two hundred thoughts of divorce and fifty thoughts of strangling each other in his life......

What kind of eyes do you have? ”

"No, I didn't expect a high school student to say such a thing, which scared me, and it made it look like you were married."

"When...... Of course not. ”

"Su Qi, when you get married in the future, you should be a good husband."

“……”

Su Qi was silent and shook his head silently.

No, I'm not.

When I wanted to correct it, I didn't have a chance.

"What do you think of a bonus script that has been planned from beginning to end for 6 years for the sake of huge insurance?"

Su Qi thought for a while and said:

"It's scary."

"Scared?"

"The same bed has different dreams, the person next to the pillow has been plotting for your life, and I feel that the human heart is more terrifying than ghosts and gods."

"Haha, I said this as if you had seen ghosts and gods."

Ueno-senpai said with a smile.

Su Qi tilted his head, noncommittal.

He spread his palms.

A lipstick glowing white in his hand.

The "obsession" left by the skin ghost.
