Chapter 52 Chapter 52 is the character you police officers hate the most...
Prosecutor Kazama was visibly choked by Elmer's words. Elmer had been a key witness in the Blood Trainee case. He recalled how, when he had first taken over the prosecution of the Blood Trainee case, the police had assured him, "Don't worry, Prosecutor Kazama. We have almost all the evidence. The only problem is that the defendant has no memory of killing those seven criminals."
As a result, new evidence and witnesses emerged in court one after another. Elmer, who was serving as a witness at the time, also emphasized that "I should have bandaged Lun's wound after transferring to another school. Even if Lun was unconscious at the time of the crime, he was not unconscious at the time. Why did he forget about it?"
Fengjian's recollection ended, and he looked at Elmer and fell into complete silence: "I have a feeling that nothing good will happen if I run into your family."
"Is that so?" Elmer tilted his head, looking quite confused. "If I'm not mistaken, Lun called you here, right?"
"Yeah, there's nothing I can do. After all, a lot of people owe him favors over the past five years, myself included." Although Prosecutor Kazama wore sunglasses, Elmer could see a hint of helplessness in his expression. "Besides, I think it's time. Letting those people from the M family constantly challenge the law isn't my style... I hope there aren't any high-powered lawyers defending them, otherwise I'll be in a tough spot."
Elmer: "A powerful lawyer...?"
"For example, after being hit on the head with a fire extinguisher and losing his memory, he can react quickly to the situation, even interrogate animals when there are no witnesses, and before becoming a lawyer, he ate evidence when he was a witness... like that?"
What kind of lawyer is this? I feel like the trial with this kind of lawyer around would be a mess.
However, as Holmes's assistant, Elmer usually only provides advice and evidence to Scotland Yard or other police departments. He rarely appears in court. The last time he appeared in court was five years ago when he gave a testimony for the purpose of a lawsuit.
Come to think of it, it seems like Lun is still hanging out with that Isshiki police officer?

"To be honest, I'm a little worried, Ron." Isshiki Totumaru and Kamohashi Ron were dining together in the restaurant, and the people that Ron knew at Blue were also dining in the restaurant on this floor. According to the staff of the Rare Dolphin, the idol Ms. Oriki would perform a singing and dancing show afterwards.
If it weren't for the M family's affairs, Isshiki Totumaru would have been very willing to appreciate this kind of performance seriously, but the problem was that he was a little uneasy because he was always thinking about the M family's affairs.
"Relax, Toto, just think of this as an unforgettable luxury cruise trip." Kamohashi Ron seemed to notice Isshiki Totomaru's uneasiness. "I've investigated this cruise ship. From the company to the employees, I can't see any connection with the M family, so at least you can rest assured about this."
"How can I feel at ease?" Isshiki Todumaru asked, "I don't see any connection. Doesn't that mean we can't use company employees as a starting point..."
“Who says we can’t use company employees as an entry point?”
"Huh?"
"Mr. Hong, the captain of the Exotic Dolphin, is a loyal viewer of the emotional live broadcast. He recognized me the moment I boarded the ship," said Kamohashi Ron. "So if anything happens, it would be very convenient to ask the captain."
"I see, but..." Isshiki Todumaru looked at Kamonohashi Ron with some uncertainty, "Are you just asking the Captain?"
"There's nothing we can do. The premise is that an incident has really happened. After all, detectives can only solve problems after the incident is over." Kamohashi Ron seemed quite helpless. "But Blue's teacher is also on this cruise ship, so I don't think it should be a big problem."
"Mr. Hirsch?"
"Well, if Tachibana comes, Finn-sensei should be there too. After all, Tachibana is Finn-sensei's partner and bodyguard... although my impression of him now is just that he's someone who's very easy to use..."
"Where did that strange impression at the end come from?"
"Actually, when I think about it, Liar and his idiots are easier to use. After all, ever since they took Oda's brooch, they've been trying to get close to me for various reasons. Some even threatened to put me in the Metropolitan Police Department's detention center..."
"Ah?! There's such a thing, why didn't I know about it?"
"No, you know it, all of it."
"Huh?"
"Inukai-sensei," Kamohashi Ron said, "He's also a member of Liar's core team."
"Shouldn't we ask what's inside that brooch now?"
"...could it be a weapon capable of influencing the international situation?"
"Things have become completely mysterious!"

Liar did have someone on board the cruise ship, and the dog was kept in detention. The communication expert seemed to have something that prevented him from moving around easily, especially activities like entering a large cruise ship. AAA took the money to do the job and said that he had already boarded the cruise ship.
Dolphin clenched his fists. "But AAA is so secretive about getting paid to do things, so I'm the only one who can solve the problem of that brooch... Why did Oda give that brooch to Kamonohashi Ron?!"
I don't know why the signal on the cruise ship is not very good, and it is difficult to send messages on the phone. Who is interfering with the signal of electronic products? If she knew, she would definitely punch that person.
Milo sneezed.
He thought he had arranged everything completely and was now just waiting for the stage to begin. As a "detective" - although Kamohashi Ron's perception of him seemed to be that of an emotional anchor, it didn't matter. In any case, he would be the protagonist of the entire stage.
And what will eventually be presented on this stage is definitely the story of the corrupt and declining detective family that is forced to make a cruel decision. He is looking forward to it. Will Kamohashi Ron finally choose all the innocent people present... or will he simply choose his partner?
"Are you sure it's okay?" Winter asked. "Let me make it clear first, I won't allow Kamonohashi to come to our side. If even someone like him, who is related to Holmes, can do that... then what about Alice?"
Milo said nothing, not seeming to want to discuss the subject.
"Elliot must have placed something on Kamohashi Ron that could act as a signal source, allowing him to observe him at any time. After learning this, I took precautions on this cruise ship... However, it seems that this has caused trouble for some unrelated people," Milo said. "She's unlucky, but why are CIA agents here?"
Winter shook her head. She had disguised herself as a nearby tourist and infiltrated the cruise ship primarily to conduct surveillance. As for why Miss Dolphin was there, she had no idea. After all, as an intelligence agency, the CIA was primarily focused on intelligence gathering. In the United States, tracking down criminal organizations was the responsibility of the FBI and local police, but organizations like theirs were likely the focus of the FBI.
"Never mind, it doesn't matter. The more people who see it, the better." Milo said, "I'm really looking forward to what decision Kamohashi Ron will make in the end when faced with that situation."
Winter still said nothing.
"What's wrong, Winter?"
"Nothing, I just feel something is wrong." Winter said, "It seems that there are too many people related to the Blood Internship case five years ago on this cruise ship. I think I even saw Kamohashi Ron's original defense lawyer."
Milo suddenly had a bad feeling: "Wait, how many people related to Kamonohashi Ron are on this cruise ship right now?"
He also saw the lawyer, the lawyer who had been with Kamohashi Ron during the Blood Internship Case, and he had left a deep impression on him.

"Because the entire prosecution process was already very clear at the time, the defendant seemed to have lost his memory and had no idea what happened at the time. The scene was a closed room, and the police saw Kamo no Hashi when they entered. No matter how you look at it, there is no way to get a not guilty verdict. The best defense is to argue that Kamo no Hashi was unconscious at the time and not be sentenced."
Isshiki Totsumaru looked at the French man who had suddenly spoken to him. The man had maintained a smile. He said with a little surprise, "Then... why did Mr. Robin continue to defend Lun? And Lun said you were just a vase on the side... During the trial, he was mostly defending himself."
"Huh? That's what he said... But yes, it's the truth." The French man named Robin said, "I just took on the defense work, and I brought some evidence to Kamo no Hashi-kun. I can't help with anything more. After all, my main job is not to be a lawyer."
"Huh?"
"They're the characters you police officers hate the most." Robin didn't seem to be trying to avoid suspicion at all. "To put it simply, they're criminals."
"Can a criminal be a lawyer?" Isshiki Totomaru said, then realized, wait, isn't that Tiger Dan also from the M family... As long as what he did in private is not discovered, "I understand. That's why you said lawyers are part-time, but I can't turn a deaf ear to such words... After all, you admitted your crime in front of the police."
Robin: “…”
Robin: "No wonder Kamo no Hashi chose you as his partner, you're so cute, Officer Isshiki..."
"Even if you say I'm cute, I won't pretend I didn't hear you." Isshiki Totumaru had just finished speaking when Kamohashi Ron suddenly appeared here, "Stay away from my partner, Robin."
"Why, did you talk?" Robin stretched out his hand at this time, "Hey, Kamohashi-kun, shouldn't we return our things to me?"
"Even if it's been passed down from generation to generation in your family, it must have been stolen originally, right?" Kamohashi Ron asked back.
"Hmm? That brooch is a rare legal item. If you say that, I'll sue you for defamation," Robin said. "It's time to return the brooch that Oda gave you. The USB drive doesn't matter; it's definitely Oda's. Anyway, return the brooch to me."
