Conan's Victory is Justice

Chapter 187 Reunion with Reiko Kujo

Gumeimen's villa and law firm.

"Ahhhhh, I didn't expect public opinion to ferment so quickly."

Xiao Ai is lying sideways on the sofa in the living room, in the classic Nohara Mizu pose——

He propped his head in one hand, held his mobile phone in the other, and took out the potato chips from the bag to eat from time to time.

Gu Meimen glanced at her.

"You have moved to such a luxurious villa, can't you look a little human?"

"I don't care, I just lie down with love."

Xiao Ai gave him a white look.

The little mouth is stuffed with potato chips, and the speech is slurred.

It was hard to swallow the potato chips.

"What should we do next?" Xiao Ai asked, "This matter has already reached the top of the hot search, and it has squeezed out the original number one."

"Really?" Gu Meimen couldn't help asking, "What was the original number one?"

Xiao Ai said: "The former Japanese Prime Minister was assassinated."

"So, Japanese women really hold up half the sky."

Gu Meimen's words carried words and sighed.

"I have a question." Xiao Ai couldn't help asking, "No matter how you look at this matter, it's not good for Daisuke Hukura, right? Now, except for those female fans, the whole network thinks he's plagiarized and is condemning him. He, and he has a bad reputation in the first place, and if he makes this case bigger, this matter will be even more serious, so is there any benefit for us?"

"How can there be no benefit?"

Gu Meimen glanced at her.

Paused.

"Have you ever heard that in the judicial concept, there is a word called discretion?"

"Oh, I know that."

Discretionary power, this is the power exercised by judges or trial organizations.

In layman's terms, it means that judges can exercise their own judgment on cases within the scope permitted by law.

For example, in adjudicating a case, a judge will often knock on the hammer to announce which party's protest is valid or invalid based on the views of both parties.

This is one way of exercising discretion.

Gu Meimen said: "As I said, the judiciary is not completely rational, especially the judges as the judges of the judiciary. You also saw in the first instance that the judge has a clear bias. He is not standing in Hucang Daisuke’s side. The judge’s discretion, his balance is tilted. If this situation continues to the second trial, it will become very bad.”

"So you have to make the matter bigger." Xiao Ai suddenly understood, "As long as the matter is big, the judges will become more cautious in exercising their discretion, because countless eyes across the country will watch them , their words and deeds will be watched. Therefore, the subsequent judges will not deliberately favor a certain side like the judges of the first instance."

"exactly."

Gu Meimen nodded in satisfaction.

His assistant's comprehension is quite good, and he guessed his intentions in an instant.

"What should I do next?"

"What else can I do? Of course it's an appeal. Where do I want your appeal?"

"Oh, I'm a little busy these days, so I forgot."

"Hurry up and write!"

Under Gu Meimen's urging, Xiao Ai reluctantly got up from the sofa, sat down at the table in the living room, and began to write and print documents.

On Gu Meimen's side, she was sorting out the materials she got these days.

The two are busy.

"Two people kiri, また会える时まで..."

The music on the phone rang, and the classic Mai Kuraki ringtone came.

Gu Meimen took the phone, saw the calling number, frowned, and dialed it.

A mature and moderate female voice came from over there.

"Gu Meimen, long time no see, don't come here to be safe."

Gu Meimen raised her eyebrows: "Prosecutor Jiutiao, you actually called me, did you eat badly yesterday?"

That's right, the call was from Reiko Kujo.

After the case of the piano sonata, the two didn't have much contact with each other.

This woman actually called today, which really surprised Gu Meimen.

"Gu Meimen, you are still the same as before, you won't say anything good."

Kujo Reiko's slight sigh came from over there.

"Forget it, I'm right outside your gate now, come and open the door."

"That's it."

Gu Meimen nodded.

This woman's character has not changed, and her mobility is still so strong.

Walking out of the villa, passing through Nuoda's courtyard, Gu Meimen came to the gate of the villa.

Outside the iron fence, Kujo Reiko was indeed seen.

I saw that she was leaning against the body of her classic Mazda, holding a lady's cigarette in her hand, and puffing away.

"I haven't seen you for such a long time, but you have changed to such a good place to live. After becoming a lawyer, you have made a lot of money, right?"

Seeing Gu Meimen coming, Kujo Reiko put out the cigarette in her hand, with a slight sarcasm in her tone.

"Small business, I don't earn much, and I still have to pay off the mortgage."

Gu Meimen said casually.

He looked up and down Reiko Kujo's figure.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year, but Reiko Kujo's appearance hasn't changed much.

Still with shawl hair and a heroic lady's suit, the whole person is full of energy.

Reiko Kujo raised her eyebrows: "What are you looking at, it's rare for me to come here, why don't you invite me in?"

Gu Meimen looked away: "Sorry, I have a rule here that teachers and dogs are not allowed to enter, unless the teacher barks three times like a dog."

"...You really haven't changed."

"You too."

Komimon opened the fence gate.

Kujo Reiko locked the car and walked into the gate of Gu Meimen's house.

"You are well-developed."

Walking in the courtyard of Gu Meimen's house, admiring the flowers and plants in the courtyard, Kujo Reiko sighed.

Birds sing and fly, and flowers are full of tall buildings.

The environment here, in terms of artistic conception, is nothing more than that.

It can be seen that Gu Meimen is enjoying life.

Not far from the courtyard, a man was weeding with a lawnmower.

Kujo Reiko raised her brows slightly, and with sharp eyes, she naturally recognized the person's identity.

Asahi Shi, the suspect in the piano sonata case.

"Why is she here?" Kujo Reiko asked curiously.

"Oh, it's like this..."

Gu Meimen briefly told Kujo Reiko everything after that case.

"It turns out that there is still a follow-up to this case."

Kujo Reiko nodded.

Because the subsequent factory pollution case was a civil matter and had nothing to do with the procuratorate, so she didn't know much about what happened after that.

Over there, Aso actually noticed Reiko Kujo.

She stopped, smiled slightly, and bowed slightly to her.

Kujo Reiko nodded and waved her back as a gift.

"I hope she will have a better life in the future." Kujo Reiko sighed.

Gu Meimen couldn't help but said: "Looking at you like this, you don't care about the truth of that case anymore?"

At the beginning, Gu Meimen told Kujo Reiko the truth—not the truth, but a possibility of the case.

When Kujo Reiko left, that preoccupied appearance is still vivid in my mind.
