025.Shinjuku 3-chome Juvenile Homicide (11)
Ishida lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head, stared at Gu Fan in front of him, and said sincerely:
"Mr. Watanabe, I hope you can do me a favor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
......
That evening, inside the law firm
"Gu Fan, do you really want to help Ishida?" Lin Peijun asked with some concern.
"Well, I've already decided, isn't all Ishida's efforts up to now just for this matter?" Gu Fan seemed to have made a decision, and affirmed unexpectedly, "Besides...... Even if it's to complete the main quest......"
Gu Fan had already moved his gaze to his system menu at this time, and the main quest [Helping Ishida Tanigawa in Court Defense] had been crossed out and replaced by another [Help Ishida Jean in Court Defense].
"It's just...... The only thing to worry about is whether the court defense in the new main quest refers to the defense of guilt or the defense of innocence. Gu Fan's tone was also a little hesitant, "If we misunderstand, maybe the main quest will fail." ”
"I see, in that case, how about we respect the wishes of our employers?" Lin Peijun seemed to have figured out something, and said in a brisk tone.
"But...... If you choose the wrong one, our mainline rewards will be lost. ”
"Gu Fan, what are you playing the game for?" Lin Peijun suddenly asked.
Gu Fan was obviously caught off guard by her question, and he didn't know what to answer for a while.
Lin Peijun obviously didn't give Gu Fan time to think, and then said to himself: "Maybe the reason why you play games is for equipment, attributes, or ethereal things like a sense of existence, but for me, this is not the case. The NPCs here are just like the people in reality, there are sadness and happiness, good and evil; The world is like a second life to me...... Unlike the real world, where there is only one chance to choose, here it becomes an infinite number of times, so I can just follow the direction of my heart without thinking about success or failure at all......"
Lin Peijun seemed to be talking a little fast, so he paused, and then continued: "When I was a child, whenever I did something wrong, I would always regret it abnormally, thinking that it would be nice if I could start over, but how can I start over in life?" ”
"It's different now, Gu Fan."
"You'd love to help Ishida too, right?"
"If the game gives you the chance to do it all over again, why regret it? Even if we can't complete the main quest, we will only lose some equipment and experience, but seeing that in this script, the Japanese judiciary has really changed because of us, isn't it the most precious reward for us? ”
"Everybody's original intention to play games is to be able to have fun in the game."
"So, what was your original intention?"
Gu Fan was directly stunned at this time, he never thought that Lin Peiyun, who didn't seem to have made much contribution in the script, Lin Peiyun, who had always been frizzy and irritable in doing things, would be very angry when he was deceived, and Lin Peiyun, who was easily moved after listening to Ishida's narration, would be able to say such a thing.
As mentioned above, Gu Fan has been a fan of games since he was very young, starting from the earliest snakes, Tetris, the simplest games, Gu Fan's life has gradually grown with all kinds of games, but now, Gu Fan is proficient in all kinds of games, he can always easily find the best solution needed to clear the game in the game, he can always get the best equipment from it, practice the best attributes, but really get the most innocent happiness and emotion in childhood games...... But it's gone.
I don't know when Gu Fan began to mechanically brush the equipment to kill the boss repeatedly, he can no longer cheer because he got a favorite piece of equipment, and he can no longer be proud of knocking down a boss that is difficult to fight; Gradually, he could no longer find that happy feeling in the game.
However, after entering this game, he suddenly found that the whole game is not just about getting better equipment and exercising stronger attributes, he will resolutely refuse better rewards because of Guo Ming's death, and he will not hesitate to praise because of Ishida's amazing layout, he began to feel that what he is surrounded by is not a string of cold data, but a living "person" who can truly empathize with him. He also gradually felt that the script in this game is no longer just a script, but more and more vivid, becoming a "life" where countless lives are intertwined. At this time, Gu Fan was finally able to regain the emotion that he had been able to get easily, he looked at Lin Peijun in front of him, and suddenly had an urge to step forward and hug the other party.
But in the end, he just nodded, smiled at Lin Peiyun, and said, "I know, then, let's accompany Ishida Jean and finish this journey completely." ”
Lin Peijun listened, his face was a little stunned at first, and then he immediately burst into a cute and playful smile, and nodded heavily at Gu Fan.
"Then let's take action, based on today's public opinion, if you want to achieve Ishida's goal, I'm afraid it's not enough!"
"Yes! Okay, I'll go and get ready for the next trial! Lin Peijun became full of vitality at this time, answered, and immediately turned around to go to the office.
"Wait a minute!" Who knew that Gu Fan stopped Lin Peiyun at this time, and looked at the girl who turned around with some doubts, he said slowly: "I didn't discuss with you about the matter of ordering Ishida to take the blame before, it's my fault." ”
"I'm sorry!"
Lin Peijun never thought that she would hear such a sentence, but at this time, she showed a more sincere smile than before, waved her hand at Gu Fan, who bowed ninety degrees, and said: "I haven't been angry about the previous things for a long time, let's go together!" ”
Immediately stopped talking nonsense and began to sort out the work of tomorrow's trial.
"Huh......" Gu Fan looked at Lin Peijun, who had already started working hard, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that apologizing is not as difficult as I imagined......"
......
March 25, Tokyo, Japan, inside the courtroom
Today's stipulated court time has not yet arrived, but both the staff and relevant personnel of the major media have already filled every position in the courtroom early, and not only that, but many media people can still be seen outside the courtroom carrying camera probes and watching through the door.
Gu Fan and Lin Peijun had also sat on the defendant's defense bench early at this time, among which Lin Peijun squinted at the crowded figure outside the door, and whispered with some concern: "Gu Fan, this case has now become the focus of the whole country, I don't know if Ishida will be able to withstand the saliva of the Japanese people in the future." ”
Gu Fan next to him was still expressionless at this time, his gaze stayed more on Naoto Araki who was sorting out the information opposite, and said lightly: "Since you are afraid that he will be drowned by the saliva of the Japanese nationals, then behave well in court and try to send him to prison to squat for a few years to avoid the limelight." ”
Lin Peijun was about to speak, but he heard the sound of a hammer, and the judge in the middle coughed lightly at this time and announced that the trial was about to begin.
So, under the attention of the whole country, the third trial of the Shinjuku 3-chome juvenile homicide incident began!
......
The first to speak was naturally the prosecutor's representative, Naoto Araki, who was still wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but his face didn't seem to be too good, and he was a little pale, at this time he stood up and read into the manuscript that had been sorted out before:
"The video materials provided by Ishida Jean before, after professional identification, proved that no special effects were added, so it can be determined that the murderer of Shimada Chi is indeed Ishida Jean, who confessed before, and after discussion and research by the prosecution, the disposal of Ishida Jean is as follows: Since the defendant is under the age of 14, according to Article 32 of the "Guanbai Code", juvenile offenders under the age of 14 do not bear any criminal responsibility. Therefore, in response to Ishida's murder, his parents were to be strictly disciplined, and the necessary ideological education was given to him on a regular basis, in the hope that the defendant would be able to lead him to the right path when he became an adult. Here, on behalf of the prosecution, I hope that people from all walks of life, including media friends, can forgive this teenager for his momentary confusion and give him a chance to mend his ways. That's my report. ”
With that, Naoto Araki sat down and half-leaned on his seat with his eyes closed.
"The following is the statement of the defendant's defense lawyer." The judge in the middle glanced at Gu Fan and signaled that he could start speaking.
"Your Excellency, I think it is quite reasonable for Prosecutor Araki to make such a verdict in accordance with the judicial regulations of our country, but today I have received a commission from the defendant Ishida to initiate criminal proceedings against two people." Gu Fan stood up, still with his hands behind his back, and said slowly.
"Filing a lawsuit? We are now discussing this case......" the judge said, somewhat puzzled.
"The criminal case I am going to file are the two key people in this case!" It's just that before the judge finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Fan, at this time he raised his voice slightly and said: "In Shimowatanabe Shuichi, he served as the defense lawyer of Ishida Mirei, and sued Shimada Tomoshi for his abuse and murder; and served as the defense lawyer for Tomoshi Shimada, suing Jean Ishida! ”
