Next, Sanae Sugita told Gumeimen everything that happened to the murder 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 different concepts.

Moreover, in order to ensure that the case does not go wrong, Gumeimen must confirm every detail that both parties know.

“…… After receiving a call from Mr. Sakaguchi, Maehara Tsuyoshi went up the stairs and turned on the phone's external function for the big dog squatting on the second floor to listen. I was eating pizza when I heard a scream and saw Maehara just pounced on the steps from the second floor by the dog. And then Maehara just died. ”

Furumon, who was sitting across from him, opened the cap of his pen and made notes in a small notebook while confirming the information Sanae Sugida had said.

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

"Didn't the police say that he was 'John, how are you?', 'How are you?', 'How are you?'

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

Gu Meimen stretched out his hand to correct her words.

"Uh......"

Sanae Sugida thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"Because it was so far away, I didn't hear anything on the phone."

"That's ......"

Gu Meimen rotated the pen at his fingertips, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There is good news, he can now confirm that the testimony made by the girl is not the so-called direct evidence.

What is Direct Evidence?

To use an analogy, the whole occurrence of a homicide can be seen as a blank slate.

The testimony of an eyewitness is to keep blacking out the white paper, and the more he paints, the more he witnesses, until the entire white paper is blackened.

As long as there is a point, even a part, on the white paper, that is not smeared, then the testimony given by the witness does not constitute "direct evidence".

Now that the girl says she didn't hear what the phone is saying, that excludes part of the truth of the case, then what she said is just "circumstantial evidence".

This is the law, and if it is a little different, it will be completely different.

However, even if it is circumstantial evidence, this is still not enough, and the situation is still not in favor of this side.

The whole fact has to be reversed.

So Furumon stood up with a smile and slowly paced from the opposite side to Sanae Sugita.

"You know what? Sanae-sama. ”

Komito leaned down slightly and whispered softly in Sanae Sugita's ear.

"The human brain is an incredible thing, and what we think we don't hear or remember, actually hibernates in the depths of the brain, arranged in rows of bookshelves. When you wake up by some kind of opportunity, the books that represent memories will fly out of the shelves one by one......"

There was a slight hot wind in her ears, which made the female college student's ears itch.

Even Sanae Sugita, who has an extremely chaotic private life and doesn't know how many men she has slept with so far, can't help but have a warm ear and a slight heartbeat at this moment.

"What do you want me to do, Mr. Lawyer?" Sanae Sugida couldn't help but look at it in a daze.

"You should know Mr. Sakaguchi's character, right? He is a lawyer specializing in juvenile cases, and he has helped many delinquent juveniles to get lost so far, and he can be described as a good person who is praised by everyone and has great merits......"

Komeimon's thin voice echoed in Sanae Sugita's ears, whispering like a demon.

And now, such a good man is accused of being a murderer because of an accident. Miss Sanae, you are the only one in this world who can save him, because of your testimony, a good person may be able to avenge his wrongs......"

"Oh! Mr. Lawyer! ”

Sanae Sugida couldn't help but stretch out her hands, wanting to hug the handsome young man who was approaching.

However, Gu Meimen quickly made a move and avoided the embrace of the female college student.

Sanae Sugida reacted at this time, coughed, and sat upright again.

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

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

"And it's not the words 'how are you?' as the police say, but another usual greeting!"

"Oh, you're such a kind girl, and the heavens will touch you."

Gu Meimen nodded in satisfaction.

"Miss Sugida, I heard that you are worried about your job after graduating next year, and now that the economy is sluggish, major companies are laying off employees, but don't worry, my client will introduce you to a job that pays well."

Upon hearing this, Sanae Sugita stood up happily.

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Lawyer! ”

"You're welcome, this is just a small help I have done to a girl with a righteous heart."

Komeimen smiled and raised his glass.

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

The court is just 20 days away.

After dinner, Sanae Sugida said goodbye to Komeimon with gratitude and left the restaurant happily.

Gumeimen was also about to leave.

At this time, I suddenly felt my eyes jump.

The lawyer's sensitivity immediately turned him back.

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

"It's you, kid." Gu Meimen's eyes narrowed, "Have you been following me all the time?" Since when? ”

"Ah, I'm just passing by occasionally~!"

The tracking was broken by the current, and Conan had to pretend to be stupid and laugh.

In fact, since the time Gu Meimen left Sakaguchi's house, he found an excuse to leave the Detective Youth League and has been following.

Because Gu Meimen's words and actions made him care a lot, after thinking about it, he still didn't feel at ease to come over and take a look.

Unexpectedly, I directly witnessed the scene of his meeting with the witness.

"Oh, kid, you're a ninja! Why don't you just stop being a detective and change careers? ”

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

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

“……”

“……”

"Mr. Gumemon, you are committing a crime."

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

"Oh? Tell me, what am I guilty of? Gu Meimen looked at him with a smile.

"You are suspected of colluding with witnesses and inducing witnesses to give false testimony! This is not legally recognized! It's illegal! Conan affirmed, "I just heard what you were talking to that college girl!" ”

"Well, Conan, huh?"

Gu Meimen suddenly approached, and a face approached, causing Conan to take a step back in fright.

"You say I've broken the law, so, do you have any evidence?"

“……”

Conan's hand in his trouser pocket tightened.

Inside was a voice recorder that recorded the conversation between Komimen and the girl just now.

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

Komemon held his chin and looked at Conan's trouser pocket with a smile in his eyes.

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