Conan's Victory is Justice

Chapter 8 Tracking Conan

Next, Sugita Sanae told Gu Meimen everything that he witnessed in the murder case that day.

In fact, what she said was similar to what Masayoshi Sakaguchi said in the morning.

However, in the legal definition, what the witness said and what the party said are completely two concepts.

Moreover, in order to ensure that the case does not go wrong, Gu Meimen must confirm every detail that both parties have learned.

"... After receiving a call from Mr. Sakaguchi, Maehara just went up the stairs and turned on the speaker function of the phone to let the big dog squatting on the second floor listen. At that time, I was eating pizza, and after a while I heard a scream , I saw that Mae Yuangang was thrown from the second floor onto the steps by that dog. Then Mae Yuangang died just like that."

Gu Meimen, who was sitting opposite, opened the cap of her pen, and while taking notes in a small notebook, she confirmed the information that Sugita Sanae said.

"So, did you hear what Mr. Sakaguchi said on the phone?"

"Regarding this, didn't the police say that he said 'John, how are you (元気か)', 'How are you (元気か), John'?"

"No, Miss Sugita, what I want to confirm is what you heard."

Gu Meimen reached out and corrected her words.

"Uh……"

Sugita Sanae thought for a while, then shook her head.

"Because the distance was too far, I didn't hear what was being said on the phone."

"Is that so..."

Gu Meimen twirled the pen at her fingertips, with a slight smile on her lips.

The good news is that he can now confirm that the girl's testimony is not the so-called direct evidence.

What is direct evidence?

For example, think of the entire circumstances of a homicide as a blank slate.

The testimony of an eyewitness is to constantly paint black on this white paper. The more he paints, the more he witnessed, until the whole white paper turns black.

As long as there is a little bit on the white paper, even if only a little part is not smeared, then the witness's testimony does not constitute "direct evidence".

Now that the girl says she didn't hear what the phone was saying, that removes part of the truth from the case, and what she says is just "circumstantial evidence."

This is the law, as long as it is a little different, it will be completely different.

However, even if it is indirect evidence, this is still not enough, and the situation is still not good for this side.

So Gu Meimen stood up with a smile, walked slowly from the opposite side, and came to Sugita Sanae.

"You know what, Sanae-san."

Gu Meimen leaned down slightly, whispering softly in Sugita Sanae's ear.

"The human brain is an incredible thing. Things that you think you haven't heard or don't remember are actually hibernating in the depths of your brain, arranged in rows of bookshelves. When awakened by some kind of opportunity, the books that represent memories Books will fly out of the bookshelves one by one..."

A slight hot wind came from the ears, making the base of the female college student's ears itchy.

Even if her private life is extremely chaotic, Sugita Sanae, who has slept with so many men so far, can't help but feel her ears warm and her heart beat slightly at this moment.

"What do you want me to do, Mr. Lawyer?" Sugita Sanae couldn't help but look blurred.

"You should know Mr. Sakaguchi's character, right? He is a lawyer who specializes in juvenile cases. So far, he has helped many delinquent teenagers get lost. He is a good man who is praised by everyone and has immeasurable merit..."

Gu Meimen's thin voice echoed in Sugita Sanae's ear, whispering like a demon.

"But now, such a good man is accused of being a murderer because of an accident. Miss Sanae, the only person in this world who can save him is you. Because of your testimony, a good man may be able to get revenge ..."

"Oh! Mr. Lawyer!"

Sugita Sanae couldn't help stretching out her hands, wanting to hug this handsome young man approaching.

But Gu Meimen moved quickly, avoiding the embrace of the female college student.

Only then did Sugita Sanae come to his senses, coughed, and sat upright again.

"Mr. Lawyer, my memory suddenly opened up, and I think I did hear something!"

The female college student thought for a while, and then said affirmatively.

"And it's not the police saying 'How are you (元気か) John', but another usual greeting!"

"Oh, you are such a kind girl, God will be touched by you."

Gu Meimen nodded in satisfaction.

"Miss Sugita, I heard that you are worrying about your job after graduation next year. Now that the economy is in recession, major companies are laying off employees, but don't worry, my client will introduce you to a job with a good salary."

Upon hearing this, Sugita Sanae stood up happily.

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Lawyer!"

"You're welcome, this is just a little bit of help I did to a girl with justice in her heart."

Gu Meimen smiled and raised her wine glass high.

The matter of the witnesses has been settled, and Dongfeng is ready.

Just 20 days to go to court.

After dinner, Sugita Sanae said goodbye to Gu Meimen with gratitude, and left the restaurant happily.

Gu Meimen is also planning to leave.

At this time, I suddenly felt a jump in my eyes.

The lawyer's sensitivity immediately turned him around.

I saw a little boy in blue children's clothing, a bow tie and glasses sneaking around, squatting under the table next to him.

"So it's you, kid." Gu Meimen narrowed her eyes, "Have you been following me all this time? Since when did you start?"

"Ah, I just pass by occasionally~!"

The tracking was broken by the current situation, so Conan could only pretend to be stupid and laughed.

In fact, from the time Gu Meimen left Masayoshi Sakaguchi's house, he found an excuse to leave the Detective Boys and followed him all the time.

Because Gu Meimen's words and actions aroused his concern, after much deliberation, he was still worried about following her to have a look.

Unexpectedly, he directly witnessed the scene where he met the witness.

"Oh, kid, you have a talent for being a ninja! Why don't you be a detective, how about changing careers?"

Gu Meimen walked up to Conan, squatted down with a smile, and touched his head.

"Little friend, it's so late, your mother will be worried, go home quickly!"

"..."

"..."

"Mr. Gu Meimen, you are committing a crime."

Conan restrained his pretended innocence, and said in a serious tone.

"Oh? Tell me, what is my fault?" Gu Meimen looked at him with a smile.

"You are suspected of colluding with witnesses and luring witnesses to give false testimony! This is not recognized in the law! It is an illegal act!" Conan said affirmatively, "I heard the content of your conversation with that female college student just now! "

"Well, Conan, right?"

Gu Meimen suddenly approached, a face approached, and Conan took a step back in fright.

"I want to ask, do you really understand the law? Did you really hear what I just said? Are you really sure that I broke the law? If so, do you have evidence?"

"..."

Conan tightened his hands in his trouser pockets.

Inside is a recording pen, recording the conversation between Gu Meimen and the girl just now.

"Well, I guess, you're a smart kid..."

Gu Meimen held her chin and looked at Conan's trouser pocket with a smile.

"You just recorded the conversation between me and that girl, right?"
