Chapter 3 Why do you say you are a criminal?

After entering the gate of the detention center and going to the lobby, Gu Meimen was taken to an interview room after speaking to the police officer on duty.

The interview room is where the interviewer and the suspect meet. It is a small room of about 20 square meters, with a glass window on the opposite side.

After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man was brought to the opposite side of the glass window.

The middle-aged man appears to be in his forties, with a Chinese character face, a depressed look, and some graying can be seen in his hair.

Masayoshi Sakaguchi is a lawyer responsible for juvenile crimes by profession, and is also a suspect in a murder case involving dog training.

Appears in Conan Animation's "The Dog John Murder Case".

"Hello, Mr. Sakaguchi, I am lawyer Gu Meimen and I am here to defend you."

"Is the Lawyers Association a lawyer sent by the public?"

Masayoshi Sakaguchi raised his head and glanced at Gu Meimen, his eyes dull.

"You go, I'm already planning to plead guilty and I don't need anyone to defend me."

This is where this commission becomes more troublesome.

Generally speaking, the client will not give up the right to defend, but according to Gu Meimen's information investigation, this person gave up the idea of ​​struggling after being brainwashed and persuaded by detectives Mouri Kogoro and Conan.

Obviously, the protagonist group has instilled in him the concept of "guilt" in advance.

However, Gu Meimen had already made preparations before coming.

Faced with Sakaguchi Masayoshi's negative attitude, he spoke rudely: "I said, Mr. Sakaguchi, you must have forgotten that you are a lawyer, right?"

"Yes, but so what?" Sakaguchi said with a wry smile, "I did commit a crime, and I am now a criminal."

"Oh, then I want to ask you, did you throw the things you learned in the past into the trash can, or did you chew them up, eat them, and then pull them out and feed them into the belly of the dog you raised?"

"What did you say!"

At the sarcastic words of the young man in front of him, Masayoshi Sakaguchi's expression changed, and he stood up with a cry.

"You can insult me, but you can't insult my career!"

"Yeah?"

Gu Meimen looked at him and smiled softly.

"So, why do you say you are a criminal? Who gave you the right?"

Masayoshi Sakaguchi was stunned for a moment.

Indeed, the guy in front of me is right.

According to the legal definition, no one has the right to be designated as a "criminal" before going through a procedural court and conducting a trial of guilt. Even if a crime has indeed been committed, he can only be called a "criminal suspect."

This is based on the "presumption of innocence", which is a regulation established on the basis of the suspicion of innocence.

Masayoshi Sakaguchi moved his mouth: "But, I do..."

"Mr. Sakaguchi, I have no interest at all in whether you have committed any crime or whether you have committed murder."

Gu Meimen interrupted him directly.

"As long as you know that I am here to defend you, I am your defense lawyer and I am here to exonerate you. That's all."

"Exoneration?" Masayoshi Sakaguchi was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I don't need it, I already plan to atone for my sins in prison."

"Oh, then you are really a big fool."

Gu Meimen laughed and spoke sarcastically.

"No matter whether a person has committed a crime or not, as long as he goes to jail, he must bear the corresponding consequences. Well, let me think about it..."

"First of all, you will be revoked as a lawyer. You will never get any job in the future, and you will never have the high income of a lawyer."

"Secondly, the victim's family will ask you for a large amount of compensation. They will be very angry and say something like, the victim is their only son, etc. I estimate that I will sell your house.

, can barely fill this big hole."

"third……"

As soon as the third person from Gu Meimen opened his mouth, Masayoshi Sakaguchi opened his eyes wide and roared.

"What a joke! Their son forced my son to death, and I didn't ask for any compensation from them at that time!"

"But they don't think so!" Gu Meimen chuckled, "Others will only think that you killed their child. From their perspective, they are the victims and they should ask you for money.

"

"..."

Masayoshi Sakaguchi's face was ashen and he sat down with a plop.

After a while, he silently raised his head again.

"But, Conan, the little boy said... John was also very sad about Masato's death. He still stood in front of Masato's room every day, waiting silently for his return... But I used such a kind animal to kill people.

me……"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Meimen's merciless words came to his ears again.

"It seems that you not only fed your dog the legal knowledge you learned, but also fed the biology knowledge you learned in middle and high school to the dog!"

Gu Meimen stared at him and sneered.

"Animals never have such a thing as 'kindness'. All values ​​are given to them by humans. Animals don't understand anything. Animals have no thoughts, they only have instincts. Do you understand? Let me ask you, if your John

Are you really smart enough to know that your son is dead, will you still go to your son's room every day and wait for him? This is just an instinct you have trained in the past!"

"Don't make yourself stupid by raising a dog, and don't make yourself stupid by listening to other people's words! Have some opinions of your own, Mr. Lawyer!"

After listening to Komemon's words, Sakaguchi Masayoshi felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer in the chest. His expression was dull and he stared at him blankly.

After a long time, Masayoshi Sakaguchi's stiff face gradually relaxed and revealed a smile.

"You're right, I shouldn't give up my right to defend myself! This is the right I deserve, why should I throw it away just because of a child's words! He's just a child, what does he know!"

Sakaguchi suddenly became energetic and couldn't help but stand up again.

Seeing Sakaguchi's appearance, Gu Meimen narrowed his eyes slightly and showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.

In his sight, the two progress bars on Sakaguchi's "Recognition Degree" have moved forward one space, which means that the client has initially begun to believe in him.

There are five recognition levels in total. Generally speaking, as long as it reaches two levels, the commission can basically be accepted smoothly.

"Young man, your eloquence is pretty good!"

The voice of Masayoshi Sakaguchi's praise came to my ears.

Gu Meimen nodded slightly: "Thank you."

"However, I don't need your defense." Masayoshi Sakaguchi glanced at him, "I am a lawyer myself, and I can act as a defender myself. This is allowed within the scope of the law."

Indeed, as long as he does not engage in negative defense, the courts of this world will recognize his identity as a defender.

Gu Meimen looked at him and smiled.

"are you sure?"

"Of course, I will use my professional knowledge to try to reduce my sentence."

Masayoshi Sakaguchi said.

"Reduced sentence? Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Meimen laughed.

The laughter was so harsh that Sakaguchi couldn't help but frown.

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing at your dull vision and short-sightedness."

Gu Meimen stretched out a finger and shook it gently in front of Sakaguchi.

"With me, there is no commutation of sentence! If you come to me for defense, I will let you be acquitted!"
