Cold sweat broke out on Conan's forehead.

This guy, you can tell at a glance that he has a recording device on him?

How is this possible! In the eyes of others, he is obviously just a child! Where did this person come from?

"Don't worry, I won't come and grab what's in your pockets."

Gu Meimen's smiling voice came from the front.

"Because it's not necessary?"

Conan said tentatively.

"The audio recorded in this case is illegal evidence collection and will not be accepted by the judicial authorities, so you don't have to worry."

"It seems that you still know a little bit about the law, kid."

Gu Meimen winked at him.

"Of course, this is only one aspect... You can take out your recording device and take a look at what you just recorded."

Conan looked at him and took out the recorder doubtfully.

Open.

It played the conversation between Gu Meimen and the female college student.

As he listened, Conan's expression changed.

The recording inside is missing an extremely important part, which is the part about how Komemon seduced Sugita Sanae into changing her testimony!

Conan remembered that Gu Meimen was talking into the girl's ear just now.

Because the sound was too low, the recording was not recorded!

"Even if you are admitted, even if the judicial authority admits that the evidence is legal, it will have no effect because I didn't ask her to change her testimony at all. She said so herself."

"Do you understand? My little friend, I won't give anyone a chance."

Gu Meimen smiled and patted Conan on the head.

The latter's face at this time was like boiling water in a cartoon, red and white, which looked particularly pleasant.

"Okay, I still have a lot of things to do. Goodbye, Conan-kun."

Gu Meimen stood up and was about to leave.

"etc!"

Conan behind him stopped him at this moment.

Gu Meimen turned around and looked at him with a smile: "Is there anything else?"

"Don't you know the truth of the matter? No, you should know, Uncle Sakaguchi, that man killed someone." Conan stared at him, "Uncle, why did you do this? Why did you help a murderer?"

"The truth of the matter?"

Gu Meimen slowly turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"Are you really sure that you understand the truth of the matter? Are you sure that he is a murderer?"

"..."

Conan frowned slightly, but he still raised his head: "I believe that there is only one truth to the matter, and that is that Uncle Sakaguchi is the real murderer!"

"Oh, then just keep confirming like this."

Gu Meimen turned his back.

"Besides, in my case, a lawyer's duty is to safeguard the interests of his client, win every lawsuit, and earn high remuneration. As for the rest? Well... what does it have to do with me?"

Conan stood silently, watching Gu Meimen's leaving figure.

The hand in his trouser pocket clenched the recording pen loudly.

He would never agree with this person's point of view.

Just for the sake of making money, they disregard human life, use various means to defend the murderer's innocence, and let the murderer go free?

Do not make jokes!

In this case, there is no justice in this world!

No matter what the reason is for killing someone, the murderer must stay in prison to atone for his crime. This is a concept that Conan has always believed in.

The lenses on Conan's glasses reflected for a while. After thinking about it, he quickly ran away from the Italian restaurant.

He is going to find Ms. Sanae Sugita and persuade her to give up the idea of ​​false testimony and not to listen to this lawyer!

…

Outside the restaurant, Gu Meimen was hiding behind a car on the roadside, sneering at Conan's running back.

"Haha, it's just a futile move."

Based on Gu Meimon's judgment, this famous detective must have gone to find Sanae Sugita.

However, it's no use.

Because of Sugita Sanae, when she left, her favorability level for him had reached five levels.

Human beings are changeable creatures, and their positions will change as certain interests change, and they will not remain firm forever.

When a witness favors one side, he will certainly not stay on that side.

They will always switch sides for some reason, or be bribed with a higher price, or be threatened with something they cherish. This situation is not uncommon in court.

Based on Gumeimen's experience, generally speaking, when the favorability level reaches five levels, it is difficult for the witness's position to change.

He just said so many things to Sanae Sugita, and although it seemed like he was trying to seduce her, they were actually not illegal in nature. In this case, just relying on Conan's rhetoric to try to get her to change her stance is nonsense.

"Go home!"

Komemon hummed Okino Yoko's new song and walked towards her apartment.

Komemon lives in Edogawa Ward, Tokyo.

Edogawa Ward is located in the easternmost part of Tokyo. Although it is not the central area of ​​Tokyo and is not that prosperous, it still retains some old shopping streets. It is an area with a relatively high population density among the 23 wards of Tokyo.

I took the subway and got off at Edogawa Ward. After walking for a while, I came to the door of a single apartment.

He took out the key and opened the door of No. 204. Inside was a room of more than 30 square meters with simple equipment, no toilet, and only a few tables, chairs, cupboards and other simple furniture.

Although it is small, it has plenty of sunshine. The most important thing is that the rent is cheap. It only costs 20,000 yen a month, which is several times cheaper than other areas of the same area.

Why? Because people have died here!

Renting a house is a good idea in this world. There are haunted houses everywhere and the rent is very cheap.

Of course, Gumeimen will not live here forever.

When I make money in the future, I will move out sooner or later and buy a house bigger than Masayoshi Sakaguchi's family.

After washing up, Gu Meimen played Nintendo Switch games for a while, sorted out the paperwork and information she got today, and then went to bed.

The next twenty days before the trial were relatively simple.

The ancient beauty gate has three points and one line.

In the morning I went to the detention center to see Masayoshi Sakaguchi, in the afternoon I went to Sakaguchi's house to play with the dog for a while, and then I came back to sleep in the evening.

In this way, the days passed quickly, and the day of court was soon coming.

Japan's judicial adjudication adopts a four-level and three-instance system.

Tribunals, that is, courts, are divided into the following four levels from high to low.

They are the Supreme Court, the Higher Court, the Local Court, the Family Court and the Summary Court.

Summary courts are at the same level as family courts and mainly deal with civil, light criminal and family cases.

The local tribunal, where Gumeimen filed his lawsuit this time, hears almost all types of civil and criminal cases.

The above three tribunals are all first instance.

The High Court is responsible for the second instance of appeals from the above tribunals.

The Supreme Court is the ultimate court that hears appeals from second-instance judgments, third-instance appeals, and some major cases with far-reaching consequences.

Because this dog training homicide case is a relatively common homicide case in the world, it is only accepted by the local tribunal.

In this world, Japan has at least one local tribunal in every area below the municipal level.

Especially in Miwa Town, a place where murders occur frequently, there are even three local tribunals.

Well, there are too many criminal suspects and there are no lawsuits on the list.

That morning, Komemon got up early. After washing and dressing up, he took the subway and went to the Yoneka Town Third District Court.

Soon, we arrived at the scene.
Chapter completed!
