Chapter 118: In Court, the Secret Confrontation with Yusaku Kudo (Part II)
In the face of Gu Meimen's questioning, Officer Twilight straightened his belly.
"Of course I'm pretty sure!"
He looked serious and serious.
"I swear by the personality of my police career that no one else at the scene of the crime has ever approached the evidence!"
"Oh, no one else has ever approached the evidence......"
Gu Meimen let out an "oh", revealing a thoughtful gesture.
Immediately, as if he remembered something, he clapped his hands.
"Have you heard? A while ago, there was a high school detective, very famous, who was once called the savior of the Metropolitan Police Department by the media, do you know who it is? ”
Gu Meimen looked at Officer Twilight and smiled.
Officer Twilight's brow furrowed, and his face turned ugly.
Conan, who was in the auditorium, also clenched his fists.
He had a bad premonition and seemed to know what Gu Meimen was going to say next.
"Oh yes, his name is Shinichi Kudo. It's a very powerful character, you can get such an inexplicable evaluation at such a young age......"
Gu Meimen asked and answered himself.
Then, with a smile, he looked at Officer Twilight's position.
"Excuse me, Mr. Officer, what do you think of this high school detective?"
Komemon's words are like a pebble falling into a pond.
At this moment, all the eyes in the courtroom were all on this chubby police officer.
There was a lot of talk mixed in.
Facing everyone's gaze, Officer Twilight lowered his head.
"I, I'm very grateful to Shinichi Kudo, he helped us solve a lot of difficult cases and improved the police's detection rate......"
His voice grew smaller and quieter as he spoke.
"Is it that simple?"
Gu Meimen was still smiling.
Immediately after, his voice suddenly rose up.
"Then, please tell everyone in detail, honestly tell all the citizens, how he helped you, how to improve the so-called crime solving rate!"
"I, I ......"
Officer Twilight's face was red, his lips were squirming, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
In the auditorium, the discussion became louder and louder.
"Do you need to say it? It must have been the police who gave the high school student the privilege to walk around the scene as he pleased. ”
"The Japanese Metropolitan Police Department is a waste, and it actually needs high school students to help solve the case!"
"Not only that, I heard that Kudo Shinichi often beats suspects at the scene and kicks all kinds of heavy objects as footballs, just the president of a company some time ago, he kicked them all and was admitted to the hospital, and it hasn't been well yet! (See the beginning of the first episode of the anime)"
"I heard that these rights were given by the Metropolitan Police Department, and that juvenile obviously committed a crime, and the procuratorate chose not to prosecute!"
"It's lawless, it's so dark!"
Listening to the gossip in the auditorium, Officer Twilight's expression became deeper and lower, and his head became lower and lower.
Conan gritted his teeth, his fingers white.
"I, I'm not like that, I don't have ......"
He muttered to himself.
"Yes, that's right, I did it for the sake of truth and justice!"
Kudo Yusaku on the side glanced at his son and frowned slightly.
His eyes were fixed on Gu Meimen, who was smiling in the audience.
With his IQ and judgment, with a slight turn of his mind, he naturally understood the intention of Gu Meimen's behavior.
"This person really has a set."
Kudo Yusaku's face was as calm as water, and his tone was solemn, and he said.
The noise in the auditorium lasted only a moment.
Soon, the judge on the stage struck down the hammer.
"Silence!"
When the room was quiet, he motioned for Gu Meimen to continue speaking.
It's just, after what just happened -
At this time, the judges already had a strange look in their eyes when they looked at Officer Twilight.
Gu Meimen took everyone's expressions in his eyes.
The smile on his face was even greater.
"Officer Twilight, based on past cases, you relied on the wisdom of that high school detective, and in order to improve the probability of solving crimes, you even went so far as to violate police regulations yourself, giving him some privileges that ordinary people can't have. Excuse me, is there such a thing? ”
“……”
Officer Twilight lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Gu Meimen raised his voice slightly and said again.
"It is rumored that the high school student detective had beaten the suspect many times at the scene of the crime, disrespecting the suspect's human rights, and instead of stopping him, you acquiesced in his actions, and even suppressed these things and did not report them to the prosecutor's office. Excuse me, is there such a thing? ”
“……”
Officer Twilight's face turned red and trembled.
"You haven't spoken, are you acquiescing to what I'm saying?"
Komeimen smiled.
His eyes looked at the audience, at the judges on the stage.
"May I ask in court, is the testimony of a policeman who does not even abide by the law and knows the law and violates the law?"
The judges on the stage glanced at each other.
I glanced at the silent police officer who was trembling and silent in the audience.
In the end, they all sighed and shook their heads.
Strictly speaking, Gu Meimen's debate has nothing to do with this case.
However, his words were not wrong.
As the power enforcement agency, the public prosecutor's testimony is very important in court.
However, the conditions for collecting evidence and judging the credibility of the testimony come from the law enforcement officer, who has good behavior and has no history of violating laws and disciplines.
In the case of Twilight Thirteen, the credibility of his testimony is very low.
"I swear to God, I'm definitely not lying!"
At this moment, Officer Twilight suddenly raised his head and said excitedly.
His fingers trembled, and he fumbled for a booklet from his bosom.
"I, I can swear to my police handbook that the testimony I have made is true! The police have their own professional standards, and it is absolutely impossible to give false testimony, please believe me in court! You have to trust me! ”
As if he was asking for approval, as if he was self-identifying, he argued passionately.
However, at this time, the voice of Gu Meimen came from the side.
With sharpness, with sarcasm.
"Trust you? Why do you believe in you? ”
"Believe you're opening the back door to a high school student who doesn't have a detective license?"
"I believe you allowed this high school student to commit atrocities at the scene of the crime, not only did not stop it, but also applauded?"
"I believe that in order to solve the case during your employment, you will turn a blind eye and cover up the facts of this high school student's crime?"
"Do you believe that you, as a police officer, a profession that brings bad people to justice, but you trample on the law yourself?"
"Why do you make people believe you?"
"What reason do you have to take out your police manual?"
"You look at your chest, you still have the insignia of the police on it, and you ask yourself, are you qualified to wear it? Are you qualified to let something that represents the soul of a police officer feel your heartbeat and temperature? ”
"I believe you are a policeman, are you worthy of the identity of a policeman?"
"Officer Twilight, what are you going to do to make people believe you!"
