Chapter 3 Why Do You Say You Are a Criminal?
After entering the gate of the detention center, coming to the hall, and talking to the police officer on duty, Gu Meimen was taken to a meeting room.
The interview room is a small room of 20 square meters, which is a small room of 20 square meters, separated by a glass window opposite.
After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man was taken across the glass window.
The middle-aged man looks like he is in his forties, with a Chinese face, a depressed face, and his hair can be seen a little gray.
Masayoshi Sakaguchi, a lawyer in charge of juvenile delinquency by profession, is also a suspect in a dog-training revenge homicide case.
Appears in Conan Animation's John the Dog Murder.
"Hello, Mr. Sakaguchi, I'm lawyer Komeimon, and I'm here to defend you."
"Is there a lawyer from the Bar Association?"
Masayoshi Sakaguchi glanced up at Komimon, and there was no light in his eyes.
"You go, I'm already going to plead guilty, and I don't need anyone to defend myself."
This is where this commission is more troublesome.
Generally speaking, the client will not give up the right to defend, but according to Komeimon's investigation, this person gave up the idea of struggling after being brainwashed and persuaded by detectives Kogoro Mori and Conan.
Obviously, the protagonist group instilled in him the idea of "guilt" in advance.
However, Gumeimen had been prepared long before he came.
Faced with Sakaguchi's negative attitude, he opened his mouth unceremoniously: "I said, Mr. Sakaguchi, you shouldn't forget, you are a lawyer, right?" ”
"Yes, but so what?" Sakaguchi said with a wry smile, "I did commit a crime, and I am a criminal now. ”
"Oh, then I want to ask you, did you throw what you learned in the trash, or did you chew it up and eat it, and then pull it out and feed it into the stomach of the dog you raised?"
"What did you say!"
The sarcastic words of the young man in front of him, Sakaguchi's face changed, and he stood up with a pout.
"You can insult me, you can't insult my profession!"
"Really?"
Gu Meimen looked at him and laughed softly.
"So, on what basis do you say you're a criminal? Who gave you the right? ”
Masayoshi Sakaguchi was stunned for a moment.
Indeed, the guy in front of me is right.
By legal definition, no one has the right to be designated as a "criminal" until they have been tried in a procedural court, and even if they have committed a crime, they can only be called "suspects".
This is a regulation based on the "presumption of innocence", which is based on the criterion of innocence.
Masayoshi Sakaguchi moved his mouth: "However, I do ......"
"Mr. Sakaguchi, I'm not interested at all in whether you have committed a crime or killed someone."
Gu Meimen directly interrupted him.
"You just need to know that I'm here to defend you, I'm your defense lawyer, and I'm here to exonerate you, and that's it."
"Exoneration?" Masayoshi Sakaguchi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't need to, I'm already planning to atone for my sins in prison." ”
"Oh, you're such a fool."
Gu Meimen laughed, and his words were sarcastic.
"Regardless of whether a person has committed a crime or not, as long as he is imprisoned, he must bear the corresponding consequences for it. Hmm, let me think about it......"
"First of all, you will be disqualified as a lawyer, and you will never get any more work, and you will never have a high salary as a lawyer again."
"Secondly, the families of the victims will ask you for a large amount of compensation, and they will open their mouths and say something like that, the victim is their only son, or something. I reckon that by selling your house, I can barely fill this big hole. ”
"Third ......"
As soon as the third of Gumeimon opened his mouth, he heard Sakaguchi's eyes widen and roared.
"What a joke! Their son forced my son to death, and I didn't ask them for anything at the time! ”
"But they don't think so!" Gu Meimen chuckled, "Others will only think that you killed their children, and from their point of view, they are the victims, and they should ask you for money." ”
“……”
Masayoshi Sakaguchi's face turned pale, and he sat down with a plop.
After a while, he silently raised his head again.
"But, Conan, the little boy said...... John was also saddened by the death of the righteous man, and he still stood by the righteous man's room every day, silently waiting for him to return...... And I use such a kind animal to kill people, I, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Meimen's merciless words came to his ears again.
"It seems that you have not only fed your dog with the legal knowledge you have learned, but also the biology knowledge from junior high school and high school!"
Gu Meimen stared at him and sneered.
"Animals never have such a thing as 'goodness', and all values are given to them by humans. Animals don't understand anything, animals don't have thoughts, they only have instincts, understand? I ask you, if your John was really smart enough to know that your son was dead, would he still go to your son's room every day and wait for him? It's just an instinct you've trained in the past! ”
"Don't be stupid with a dog, and don't be stupid at what others say! A little bit of your own assertive ability, Mr. Lawyer! ”
After listening to Gu Meimen's words, Sakaguchi Masayoshi looked at him as if he had been hit in the chest by a heavy hammer, his expression was sluggish, and he looked at him in a daze.
After a long time, Masayoshi Sakaguchi's originally stiff face gradually relaxed, revealing a smile.
"You're right, I shouldn't give up my right to defend myself! This is my right, why should I lose it because of a child's words! Just a child, what does he know! ”
Sakaguchi suddenly became energetic, and he couldn't help but stand up again.
Seeing Sakaguchi's appearance, Gu Meimen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In his sight, the two progress bars on Saka's mouth, in which the "degree of recognition" has advanced by one level, representing that the client has initially begun to believe in him.
There are a total of five squares of recognition, and generally speaking, as long as it reaches two squares, the commission can basically be successfully accepted.
"Young man, your eloquence is good!"
The voice of Sakaguchi's praise came from his ears.
Gu Meimen nodded lightly: "It's over." ”
"I don't need your defense, though." Masayoshi Sakaguchi glanced at him, "I am a lawyer myself, and I can take on the work of a defender myself, which is allowed within the scope of the law." ”
Indeed, as long as he does not defend passively, the courts of this world will recognize his identity as an advocate.
Gu Meimen looked at him and smiled.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, I will use my professional knowledge to try to reduce my sentence."
Masayoshi Sakaguchi said.
"Commutation? Hahahaha! ”
Hearing this, Gu Meimen laughed.
The laughter was so harsh that Sakaguchi couldn't help but frown.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at your dull eyes and rat eyes."
Komimen stretched out a finger and shook it gently in front of Sakaguchi.
"There is no such thing as a commutation of sentence in my place! If you come to me to defend me, I will acquit you! ”
