"Now let's start deliberating on the final verdict!"

The judge and the jurors on either side confirmed each other.

"This court pronounces the verdict, rejects the prosecution's public prosecution request, and the defendant is not guilty of intentional homicide and is acquitted!"

"This is the end of the trial, leave the courtroom!"

With the sound of the gavel, it represents the end of this lawsuit.

In fact, according to the general situation, it may not be so simple.

For example, some jurors may be mouth-wrenched and ask garbled questions.

The witness will be asked whether he confirms the correctness of his testimony and will ask the defendant what he thinks of the victim, after all, according to the information provided by Long Su Zhengnan at the end, there does seem to be a grudge between the defendant and the victim, and there is a possibility that there is a motive for the killing.

But none of these jurors did it in the end.

Because, from the very beginning, not only the prosecutor's side, but everyone was led away by Gu Meimen.

"It's just, it's that simple?"

Before leaving the courtroom, the defendant Masayoshi Sakaguchi did not seem to have reacted.

He was really acquitted like this?

"Of course, there are always times when human eyes and ears are indirectly abnormal."

The corners of Gu Meimen's mouth curled, and he glanced at the heads of several jurors who were about to leave.

Their favorability and recognition have reached three squares, and some have reached four squares.

I have to admit that Gu Meimen's performance in the court is still very infectious, and it is easy to affect people's feelings.

Too blind sensibility affects the judgment of these people.

"Alright, Mr. Sakaguchi, now that you've been acquitted, it's time to fulfill your promise."

Gu Meimen smiled, took out two fingers and rubbed them.

Masayoshi Sakaguchi came back to his senses and nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Komemon, I will send you the check." ”

"Oh, what a generous and kind man!"

The two men left the courtroom and were talking in the hallway.

At this moment, a calm voice suddenly appeared behind him.

"Is this really okay?"

Turning around, I saw Conan standing in front of him.

He put his hands in his pockets and looked directly into Sakaguchi's eyes.

"Uncle Sakaguchi, are you going to run away from the condemnation of your conscience like this, live in uneasiness every day, and go on like this?"

Faced with Conan's questioning, Sakaguchi hesitated.

After all, he did kill someone.

"I ......"

"Children, can you stop lying here and go home to play with your mother, okay?"

Gu Meimen raised his eyebrows, directly interrupted Sakaguchi's words, waved his hand to Conan like a dog, and was about to leave with Sakaguchi Masatose.

"John's command, you did it, right?"

Conan's voice came from behind him again, with a serious attitude.

"You've been on the line at three o'clock every day for the past twenty days."

"Go to Uncle Sakaguchi's detention center in the morning and get his scent."

"In the afternoon, I came to Uncle Sakaguchi's house and trained John in the elimination of commands."

"Because of the smell of Uncle Sakaguchi, John listens to you, so there won't be any difficulty in training. Although it is only twenty days, you only need to eliminate the last instruction, so that the whole logical chain will collapse, the evidence will not be established, and Uncle Sakaguchi will get away with murder because of your defense. ”

Gumemon's footsteps stopped.

"It's like you've seen it with your own eyes, kid."

He turned back to Conan and looked at him with a smile.

"So, do you have proof? Or are you carrying a recording device and secretly filming other people's privacy here? ”

"Rest assured, I didn't bring a recording device and I don't have any evidence."

Conan pulled his hands out of his pockets and flipped both of his trouser pockets out.

He looked directly into Gu Meimen's eyes: "I just want to ask you, if you do such a thing, aren't you afraid that one day the East Window Incident will happen and you will be sued by the Public Procuratorate and the People's Procuratorate?" Don't you look down on the law? ”

Gu Meimen looked back at him and listened to his serious tone.

He smiled and suddenly said, "Conan, I want to ask you a question too." That is, detectives like you guys...... Are you afraid of the law? ”

Conan frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

"There are some things that can only be understood if you really study them in depth."

Gu Meimen said.

"Before I studied law, I thought that the role of law was to uphold justice, punish evil and promote good, and bring those who have committed crimes to justice. Well, that's the popular idea! However, it was only after I actually studied law that I deeply understood the role of law in what it really wanted to express...... Do you know what it is? ”

Conan pondered for a moment and said, "It's fairness, and the law needs to uphold fairness for all, including the rights and interests of the offender." ”

"It seems that you still have a bit of a brain, but that's only one aspect."

Gu Meimen snapped his fingers.

There was a pause.

"It also has one of its biggest effects before it upholds fairness, and that is deterrence."

"The so-called law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be prosecuted. When a person does not dare or refrain from committing an act prohibited by the criminal law for fear of being sanctioned by the criminal law, this is deterrence, and this is what the law really wants to express. ”

"In every case that your detectives have solved, before the East Window incident, the criminals have done their best to use exquisite layout, either to cover up the scene, or to blame the suspects, and use various means to avoid the possibility of being arrested."

"This is the deterrent effect of the law, and its purpose has actually been achieved, although the prisoners still kill people, they are afraid that they will be caught, they are afraid that they will go to prison, they are afraid of the law, so they are cautious, walking on thin ice."

"So, the same position is on you detectives......"

"I want to ask, Conan, are you afraid of the law?"

“……”

“……”

Conan fell silent.

Gu Meimen continued: "You don't, detectives have never been afraid of the idea of the law, you can do illegal acts without any psychological burden, as long as you shout in your heart that I am for justice, I am here to catch criminals, and I am on behalf of the law...... Yes, like you did last time, Conan, when you used the recording device, did you ever think that I was doing it illegally, that I would be arrested like this? ”

"As a lawyer, I, like ordinary people, am still afraid of the law. Because I know what the law represents. So as for what you said, I'm going to do everything I can so that no one gets my hands on it. ”

"But you don't, all the detectives, all of them, none of them, no one thinks about what they do to get caught. The deterrent effect of the law has not reached you. You are comfortable violating the rights and interests of others in various ways, and you do not even cover up when you break the law. ”

"So, aren't you who despise the law?"

“……”

“……”

Conan lowered his head and pondered in silence.

The lenses on the eyes are glowing.

Yes, Gu Meimen's words just now were almost another soul question.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head.

"Saying so much doesn't change the fact that you falsified evidence to help real criminals escape the law."

"Oh, I'm a serious lawyer! I've never done anything illegal or criminal! Children, you are saying this to show evidence! ”

Gu Meimen began to grin again, as if the serious words he had just said were said by another person.

He turned his head and patted Sakaguchi on the shoulder.

"Okay, let's ignore this little guy who plays detective games, it's time for adults, Mr. Sakaguchi, I've done so much for you, you have to treat me to a good meal!"

“……”

Masayoshi Sakaguchi moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He sighed, gave Conan one last look, and left the hallway with Gumemon.

Conan stayed quietly in place, watching the back of Komeimon leaving.

The fists clenched subconsciously.

In any case, this person has always violated the law, and he also helped the prisoners to defend their innocence, helping them escape punishment from the law.

And looking at him like this, it seems that in the future, he has always planned to go on like this.

This is unacceptable to Conan in any case.

Wait, no matter what, I'll expose all your crimes!

One day, I'm going to send you to jail too!
