The Devil Wife

The Devil Wife (, Musuko no Yome wa Akuma?, Lit. "Is My Son's Wife a Devil?") is the 44th side case in Judgment.
==Plot==
At Café Alps, Yagami's client, Shizue Kuwayama, says her daughter-in-law Kiriko scares her because her son, Kojiro, has attracted bad luck since marrying her. She suspects Kiriko because Kojiro took a large life insurance policy per her suggestion. Kojiro has been complaining of stomachaches and nausea, making Shizue suspect Kiriko is spiking his food. Yagami is directed to M Side Cafe, where Kiriko works.
Yagami sits down at a table and spies on Kiriko. An employee asks if Yagami is another of Kiriko's admirers, telling him of Kiriko's popularity. He adds that Kiriko prepares a cup of coffee for Kojiro whenever he arrives each day, and that Kojiro is her fourth husband; two husbands ran away from her due to almost being murdered while the second died to poisoned food in his workplace.
Kojiro arrives, and Yagami sits near him to eavesdrop. After Kojiro drinks his black coffee, and he and his colleague Hirasawa leave, Yagami checks Kojiro's cup and finds Suspicious Powder on it. He smells a strong scent, and suspects Kojiro's daily coffee contained small doses of poison. He catches up to Kojiro in Theater Square, and informs him of Kiriko's past and the powder in his coffee, then asks if he noticed anything unusual. Kojiro mentions feeling followed on his commute back home when Kiriko was off duty. Kojiro decides to act as bait for his stalker to prove Kiriko innocent.
At Kita Electric, Kojiro ends his day. Yagami looks around for the suspected stalker; a short, hooded man wearing a mask and sunglasses. Kojiro's stalker is on the roof of the building behind Kojiro, looking down in him from above. Once the stalker is spotted, Yagami gives Kojiro the signal to move, beginning a Tailing segment where Yagami follows the stalker. The tailing ends once Kojiro has lured the stalker into Park Alley. Yagami confronts the stalker, and recognizes him as the same waiter who informed him of Kiriko's past, Minami, explaining how Kojiro's cup could be poisoned so easily. Minami produces a knife, and Yagami orders Kojiro to call the police while he subdues Minami. Minami, before being arrested, states he wanted Kiriko all to himself.
Back at the agency, Kojiro has learned Kiriko rejected Minami three years prior and had stalked her since. The police have not connected Minami to Kiriko's three former husbands, which may change after interrogating him.
