Conan's Victory is Justice

Chapter 14 Conan, are you afraid of the law?
"Start to discuss the final judgment now!"

The judge and the jurors on both sides confirmed each other.

"This court pronounced a verdict, rejecting the prosecutor's request for public prosecution, the defendant was not guilty of intentional homicide, and was acquitted!"

"This is the end of the trial, leave the court!"

With the sound of the gavel, it represented the end of the lawsuit.

In fact, according to the general situation, it may not be so easy.

For example, some jurors may talk nonsense and ask random questions.

The witness will be asked whether the testimony is correct, and the defendant will be asked what he thinks of the victim. After all, according to the last information provided by Longxu Zhengnan, there does seem to be animosity between the defendant and the victim, and there may be a motive for the murder.

But none of these jurors ended up doing it.

Because, from the very beginning, not only the prosecutor's side, everyone was led away by Gu Meimen.

Of course, the matter will definitely not be so simple to solve. After all, a dog killed a person, so according to the law, the principle of no-fault liability will be followed, and then Sakaguchi will be held civilly liable.

"It's that simple?"

Before leaving the courtroom, the defendant Masayoshi Sakaguchi did not seem to react.

He was actually acquitted like this?

Although you may lose money later, but you don't have to go to jail, this is simply great news.

"Of course, people's eyes and ears are always indirect."

The corners of Gu Meimen's mouth curled up, and she glanced at the heads of several jurors who were about to leave.

Some of their favorability and recognition have reached three grids, and some have reached four grids.

I have to admit that Gu Meimen's performance in court is still very contagious and can easily affect people's feelings.

Too blind sensibility affects the judgment of these people.

"Okay, Mr. Sakaguchi, you have now been acquitted, and it's time to fulfill your previous promise."

Gu Meimen smiled, took out two fingers and rubbed them together.

Masayoshi Sakaguchi came back to his senses and nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu Meimen, I will send you the check."

"Oh, what a generous and kind man you are!"

The two left the courtroom and were talking and talking in the aisle of the corridor.

At this time, a calm voice suddenly appeared behind him.

"Is this really all right?"

Turning around, I saw Conan standing in front of me.

With his hands in his pockets, he looked straight into Sakaguchi Masayoshi's eyes.

"Uncle Sakaguchi, are you going to escape the condemnation of your conscience and live in anxiety every day, and continue like this?"

Faced with Conan's questioning, Masayoshi Sakaguchi hesitated.

He did kill someone after all.

"I……"

"Little friend, can you stop bewitching people here and go home to play with your mother obediently, can you?"

Gu Meimen raised her eyebrows, interrupted Sakaguchi directly, waved to Conan like a dog, and was about to leave with Sakaguchi Masayoshi.

"John's order, is it your hand and foot?"

Conan's voice came from behind again, with a serious attitude.

"In the past 20 days, you have been at three o'clock and one line every day."

"Go to Uncle Sakaguchi's detention center in the morning and get his scent."

"Come to Uncle Sakaguchi's house in the afternoon, and train John to eliminate commands."

"Because of the smell of Uncle Sakaguchi on his body, John listens to you very much, so the training will not be difficult. Although the time is only 20 days, you only need to eliminate the last instruction, and the entire logic chain will collapse. , the evidence will not stand, and Uncle Sakaguchi will escape the crime of murder because of your defense."

Gu Meimen's footsteps stopped.

"It's as if you saw it with your own eyes, kid."

He turned around and came to Conan again, looking at him with a smile.

"So, do you have any evidence? Or are you wearing a recording device and secretly filming other people's privacy here?"

"Don't worry, I don't have a recording device, and I don't have any evidence."

Conan took his hands out of his pockets and turned both trouser pockets out.

"Even if you take pictures of the evidence, it's useless." Gu Meimen said with a smile, "Because everything I did was legal. After the dog was out of the control of the procuratorate, it was not considered as evidence strictly speaking. Protected, this is the biggest dereliction of duty of the procuratorate, I just go to visit my friend's dog every day and play with it."

Conan was silent for a moment.

"It is true that the law cannot punish you for what you have done." He looked straight into Gu Meimen's eyes: "But, I just want to ask you, do you look down on the law if you are walking on the edge of the law like this?"

Gu Meimen looked back at him, listening to his serious tone.

He smiled, and suddenly said, "Conan, I also want to ask you a question. That is to say, detectives like you...are you afraid of the law?"

Conan frowned: "What do you mean?"

"There are some things that can only be understood after deep study."

Gu Meimen said so.

"Before studying law, I thought that the role of law was to uphold justice, punish evil and promote good, and bring criminals to justice. Well, this is the public's concept! However, after really studying law , I have a deep understanding of the role that the law really wants to express...do you know what it is?"

Conan pondered for a moment and said, "It's fairness. The law needs to protect the fairness of everyone, including the rights of criminals."

"It seems that you still have some brains, but this is only one aspect."

Gu Meimen snapped her fingers.

Paused.

"Before maintaining fairness, it also has one of the biggest functions, which is deterrence."

"The so-called law enforcement must be strict, and those who break the law must be prosecuted. When a person dares or gives up to implement the behavior prohibited by the criminal law because of fear of the sanctions of the criminal law, this is deterrence, and it is also what the law really wants to express."

"In every case that your detectives cracked, before the incident happened, the prisoners tried their best to use exquisite layouts, either to cover up the scene, or to blame the suspects, and to avoid being caught by various means. possibility."

"This is the deterrent effect played by the law. Its purpose has actually been achieved. Although the prisoners still killed people, they were afraid of being caught and going to jail. They were afraid of the law, so they were cautious and walked on thin ice."

"Then, the same position is transferred to you detectives..."

"I want to ask, Conan, are you afraid of the law?"

"..."

"..."

Conan fell silent.

Gu Meimen continued: "You don't, detectives have never been afraid of the law, you can commit illegal acts without any psychological burden, as long as you shout in your heart that I am for justice, I am here to catch Criminal, I'm representing the law... Yes, like you did last time, Conan, when you use the recording device, have you ever, it's illegal for me to do this, I will be arrested, have you ever Such an idea?"

"As a lawyer, I am still afraid of the law just like ordinary people. Because I know what the law represents. So regarding what you said, I will try my best to prevent people from catching me."

"But you didn't, all the detectives, none of them, no one thought about what they did to get caught. The deterrent effect of the law didn't reach you. You violated other people's rights in various ways with peace of mind. Rights and interests, even when they break the law, they don’t even hide it.”

"So, aren't you the ones who look down on the law?"

"..."

"..."

Conan lowered his head, meditating in silence.

The lenses on the binoculars glowed.

Yes, what Gu Meimen said just now was almost another soul questioning.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head.

"Say so much, it can't change the fact that you forged evidence to help real criminals escape legal sanctions."

"Oh, I've said it all, it's not forged evidence, why don't you understand? I'm a decent lawyer! I've never committed any crimes! Kid, you're saying this to show evidence drop!"

Gu Meimen started to smile again, as if the serious words just said were said by another person.

He turned his head and patted Masayoshi Sakaguchi on the shoulder.

"Okay, let's ignore this little guy who plays detective games, it's time for adults, Mr. Sakaguchi, I've done so many things for you, you should give me a good meal!"

"..."

Masayoshi Sakaguchi moved his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end.

He sighed, took one last look at Conan, and left the corridor with Gu Meimen.

Conan stayed in place quietly, watching the back of Gu Meimen leaving.

His fists were clenched subconsciously.

In any case, although this person did not break the law, he walked on the edge of the law, helped the criminals defend their innocence, and helped them escape the punishment of the law.

And looking at him like this, it seems that he has always planned to continue like this in his future career.

No matter what, Conan couldn't accept it.

Just wait, anyway, I'll catch you doing real crimes and show you off!

One day, I will also send you to prison!
