Chapter 23: The Power of Love?
The morning sun shines through the glass of the coffee shop with a warm breath on Kujo and Smirno.
"The laws of every country were established from the beginning to bind people to live under the rules of those in power. From the beginning, the upper classes had the law at their disposal, which created an inequality of power. In the name of the law, they can judge the sins of others at will, but in addition to the law, they do rely more on their own emotions to judge. Smirno's voice is not very special, but it is very flavorful: "When the dividing line of power grows wider and wider, people will rise up and rebel, and then new countries will be built, and new people will emerge in power." Establish, overthrow, establish, and it is in such an endless struggle that people have come to this day. ”
"No matter what kind of law is made by man and then enforced by man, man is a creature with selfish motives and shortcomings. In this way, every law will have loopholes, and it will not be possible to use it forever. Smirno took a sip of coffee and continued: "It is my ideal to establish a code that works for anyone, so that there are no loopholes in such a code that can be exploited. ”
"Even if you're not selfish, how can you think that your code won't be exploited by people?" asked Kujo, a little appreciative and a little amused.
"Maybe it's because in my legal code, it's not going to be performed by humans. Smirno replied.
"Isn't it a human execution?" Kujo asked curiously, "So is it up to the machine to judge?"
Smirno smiled and did not answer. How could the law of God be given to mankind.
"You're not a bad guy. Kujo looked at the time, and the time for the adjournment was almost over: "But I don't know why Lu Dao will participate in this defense." ”
"Oh, what do you think of this argument?" Smirno asked rhetorically.
"Mori Yuan Chrysanthemum is not wronged. Kujo said, "Are you taking advantage of a loophole in the law for the first time? His father, Mikio Morizono, was also a very influential upper-class figure. ”
"Is there a need to uphold such a law?" Smirnow's tone was slightly disdainful.
"Of course there is, defending him, that's my mission, it's my pursuit. Jiujo disagrees with Sminow's thinking: "As you said, some people will exploit loopholes in the law, so we law enforcers need to work harder to find those people to maintain the authority of the law." ”
"That's right. When Kujo said it, her insistence seemed to glow. This steadfast divine light completely made Smirin completely lose the ability to resist: "Actually, I don't know what is going on here. ”
After a mocking self-deprecating smile, Smirno continued, "You also know that I'm just an assistant to Egawa Asano, and there are some things that I may not be able to change his mind. ”
"Asano?" Kujo groaned. He was only helping Kenzo Kashiyama deal with some economic incidents, so why did he have to intervene in this criminal incident this time?
"But I'll try to persuade him. Smirno said seriously: "After all, no matter how the world changes, some things that are not right will definitely not turn out to be right. ”
"Really?" Kujou laughed when he heard Smirno say this, "Even if this world is no longer good, will you still hold on to your current integrity? ”
"I think I will, I'll try. Smirno smiled like Kujo, "I will let a new world that no longer exist ugly come to this land." That's what I wish and what I believe. ”
Faith?Kujo looked at Sinono appreciatively. It would be nice if there were more such determined people in the world: "You remind me of a person, you are very similar." ”
"Oh?" Smirno's pupils contracted. Could this person be?
"The difference between him and you is probably that he lacks your drive. As soon as Kujo thought of Matsuda's lazy appearance, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "His name is Matsuda Jinpei, and he is the criminal policeman who testified in ** just now." If you still want to stay in Japan as Asano's assistant, I am sure you will inevitably deal with him. ”
"Sure enough, it's him, Matsuda Jinpei. How could Smirno not bear Matsuda: "The famous criminal police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, I have been friends with him for a long time, and I am deeply impressed." I will never forget this man for the rest of my life. Speaking of the last sentence, the tone had a cold taste, but it was covered up in front of Kujo.
"Checkout. Smirno beckoned to the waiter, then pulled out his wallet and pulled out a brand new thousand-dollar bill and placed it on the table.
Smirno's wallet was very long, not the kind that could be folded, and it was also neatly stacked with banknotes of 1,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan, brand new banknotes without a single crease.
After putting away the thousand-dollar bill, Smirno stood up and made an inviting gesture to signal the lady to take precedence.
Kujou accepted Smirno's kindness with a smile and walked in front of Smirno.
"Sir, please wait a moment. When Kujo was about to walk to the door of the coffee shop, the waiter behind him ran over to stop Smirno: "I haven't found any money yet." ”
"You can keep it. Smirno didn't look back.
"Sir. The waiter stopped Smino from getting out, insisting on giving him the change.
Kujou looked back and saw Smirno frowning, but he never reached out to pick it up: "We're not particularly rich people, let's save a little." ”
Seeing Smirno calmly take the change, the waiter gave a bite and left Smino immediately. Just now, he felt the strong sense of oppression emanating from that person, which made him afraid, and he wanted to stay away from that person, the farther away the better.
"You don't seem to be a big spender. Out of the coffee shop, Kujo and Smirno walked towards the courthouse.
"Money, something created by man and yet governed by it, is full of lust and sin. Smirno didn't say much: "I hate wasting too much time with this stuff." ”
"Really?" Kujou looked at Smirno's cold face, who didn't know whether to say expressionless or unapproachable, "Have you always been like this?"
Huh?Smirno looked at Kujo in confusion.
"So, um, seriously?" Kujo thought about it for a moment before he uttered the word, "Are you meticulous in everything you do?" I don't mean it's bad, but you should relax once in a while. ”
"You should learn from Matsuda, make life a little simpler sometimes, and don't take everything in life too seriously. Kujo said and laughed, "But don't be as relaxed as Matsuda, that's called laziness." It would be nice if you could complement each other, you're too serious and he's too lazy. ”
When he saw Kujo's smile after mentioning Matsuda, the tyrannical look on Smirno's face flashed, but Kujo, who was talking to himself, didn't notice it.
The two walked outside the courthouse, and Smirno said goodbye to Kujo: "I'll go back and talk to Asano about this matter, and no matter what the outcome is, I'll tell you as soon as possible." ”
"Well, I'm looking forward to your success. "Kujou blesses me.
"I want you to withdraw this charge, Margaret. At the end of the dimly lit hallway, Smirno's voice was filled with a cold taste.
"Withdraw the indictment?" Asano Egawa, also known as Margaret, said in confusion: "What's the matter?
"I want you to withdraw the charge. Smirno's voice didn't change.
"Mori Yuan Juren, and Mori Yuan Gano will not agree, we don't have this power, you should know it. And the judge's side, how should we explain it? And it's not yours to hit Matsuda" Asano was made big by Smirno's request.
"To do it or not to do it. Smirno glanced at Asano and interrupted his rambling.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Smirno's indifferent eyes made Asano feel like falling into an ice cave, completely without the irritability of a few days of busyness turning into useless work, and apologized twice before he began to think about this problem: "The best way to do this is to convince Kikuto, but then this prosecution has become a joke." It's about the reputation of the Mori Yuan family, and I'm afraid Mori Yuan will not agree. ”
"You're going to want me to waste my time on that crap emotion?" Smirno said dissatisfiedly, "I'll leave it to you, I just need to finish it quickly." ”
"It's good, it's good, I'll find a way. Asano had to calm Smino's emotions. But his reputation was at stake, and if he was to leave directly, would anyone come to him to file a lawsuit? He had to think of a way to minimize the damage.
"You're wasting my time, Margaret. Sminore knew Asano's hesitation, but he didn't hesitate to push Asano to the edge of the cliff.
When Asano heard Smirno's words, he immediately raised his head and met Smino's gaze, but he immediately staggered away and tilted his head to the side: "Yes, I went to negotiate with them." ”
"Mr. Morizono, I'm sorry, we can't continue to help you. Asano quickly approached Mikio Morizono and told him the news that could have cast a shadow over his career.
"What do you mean? Mr. Asano, you did a good job before. "Mikio Morizono has a very bad feeling.
"I repeat, there is no way we can continue to help Mr. Kikuto, he needs to withdraw the lawsuit. Of course, Mr. Mori Yuan, you can also change the lawyer, in short, there is nothing I can do about this matter. ”
"No! you can't do this!" Yurie Jiang, the daughter of Mikio Morizono, screamed, "You can't abandon my brother, didn't you find us first?"
"I need a reason, Mr. Asano, a very good reason. Morizono Mikio also sank his face. The arrest of his son has hurt him very much, but it is already a shame for this person to persuade him to pull down his old face and sue for his son. Now that he said that he didn't care, wouldn't the Mori Yuan family become the laughing stock of the whole Tokyo.
PS: The recent update is too weak, and I also know that tomorrow the work will return to normal, and I will try to adjust it to ensure that there are two changes in four days.
