[...Well, hell. He's going to jail anyway. So it's not like he could jeopardize his case, because he doesn't really have much of one to begin with.
And this will happen sooner or later anyway. Why not now?]
Mrs. Davis lied about her alibi, which was the key to getting her convicted. She was seeing her lover that day, which is why she didn't want to admit her real whereabouts. I suppose she didn't think that one little fact would be the end of her.
Mr. White, however, was really guilty. You got nearly everything right about him. Except they never did get the right murder weapon, to his dismay. It's a bit of a point of pride.
And Mr. Yin... he was executed just today. Shame you couldn't make it.
[Oswald's gaze sharpens at that. His face is still relaxed, all casual interest, but there's an intensity in his eyes that clearly says all of his attention is on Edward, as a chill runs down his spine]
....Yes. It was a shame. But I had more pressing matters. Namely, your case.
[he smiles, then, and it's sharp enough to cut]
Which is turning out to be far more interesting than I thought.

I don't follow what goes on in the world of law that much.

[he pauses, though, tilting his head]
Though I'm curious as to how you know about some of my cases, then.
no subject
[. . .
He's going to ignore that first part.]
I just do.
no subject
Well that's a boring answer. With a name like Enigma, I expected something more interesting.

Is it pressing?
It doesn't seem like you'll have to put in a lot of effort. It's open and shut.
no subject
[oh but he hasn't looked away, staring at Edward with intensity--though there's a friendly enough smile on his face]
Though I've never met a suspect quite like you before.
[that smile widens]
You really are living up to your name.
no subject
Finally my life is complete.
[Edward is staring just as much at Oswald.]
no subject
[he chuckles, holding his eyes]
Did you know this was supposed to be a punishment for me?
no subject
[Gee.]
What, did you upset someone?
no subject
I told another prosecutor that his style was akin to that of a rhinoceros in a china shop.

But apparently he did, and so he complained to my boss that her "young upstart" needed to be taken down a peg.
So...here I am.
[his smile moves closer to a smirk]
Jokes on him, though...he gave me quite an interesting case.
no subject
You have a murder, a suspect found at the scene with no explanation for why he was there, with a "troubled background" and a history of violence.
no subject
On paper.
[Oswald hums, leaning forward over the table, placing his hand over the file he tossed there and getting right into Edward's space]
But in reality...you're certainly someone interesting, aren't you, Mr. Enigma~?
no subject
[And he keeps staring, right into Oswald's eyes. He barely even blinks.]
Whether I'm "interesting" or not, your job is to get me convicted. That's all.
no subject
It matters to me.
[he withdraws then, straightening, taking the folder with him]
It seems like your lawyer is here. I'll see you later, Mr. Enigma~ [he smirks, before turning, starting to walk out]
no subject
[And Edward sits back a little, shoulders slumping.]
Hm.
[Bye, Oswald.]
