"This trial will be decided in accordance with the Japanese Civil Code."

The judge struck the hammer.

As a typical civil lawsuit, the initial process is still the same as before.

"Now ask the plaintiff's attorney to read your claim."

Gu Meimen sat in the audience and glanced around the courtroom.

The plaintiff sat Takuya Kimura in the bench, and next to him sat Moriran.

In the dock sat Daisuke Torakura, next to the lawyer he had hired.

The lawyer was a man, less than forty years old, with no name or surname, and at first glance he was a small character.

Whether it is Conan's original book or this world, Gu Meimen has no impression.

"This is to brush up on Maolilan's experience."

"Huh?"

Xiao Wai on the side blinked.

"How do you know that this lawsuit must be won by Maolilan?"

Gu Meimen glanced at her: "Didn't I tell you before?" This lawsuit is boring. ”

Xiao Ai thought for a moment and nodded, Gu Meimen did say so.

"But that doesn't mean Maorilan will win."

Xiao Ai was a little worried and looked at the plaintiff's seat.

At this time, Maolilan has been completely replaced by nervousness.

Her expression was stiff, her eyes wandered, and her hands were flat on her thighs, looking cramped and uneasy.

On the other hand, the lawyer opposite, although he is a trick, has a smile on his face and looks very confident.

"Anyway, Mao Lilan is a newcomer to a lawsuit for the first time, and the other party is a lawyer with several years of experience!"

The more Xiao Ai thought about it, the more she didn't understand.

"Moreover, the legal loophole that Daisuke Torakura took advantage of to divide the copyright to the studio is unsolvable no matter how you look at it."

Xiao Ai mainly did not understand the latter point.

According to the information that Komimen got back from the police station, Daisuke Torakura has fought several lawsuits in the past, all of which are related to plagiarism.

In those lawsuits, Daisuke Torakura won them.

The law is written in black and white, it is placed there, and others can't do anything about it.

Faced with Xiao Ai's question, Gu Meimen didn't answer, but just said casually.

"We'll find out later."

"Cut, sell off."

Below.

At the judge's request, Maoliran's body was very stiff and he stood up,

"Well, hello everyone, I'm—My name is Maoliran......"

Maorilan stammered.

"In this lawsuit, I have full authority to represent my client, Takuya Kimura, in the litigation matters."

"The facts of our lawsuit are as follows."

Maolilan's fingers stiffened, holding the lawsuit in his hand.

"Our litigant, Takuya Kimura, once wrote an article on the website called "The Wandering Tanuki Cat", and soon after, another article appeared on another website, which was called "The Adventures of the Black Cat in the Shield".

"It's a big fire now, and it's very popular. However, under our unanimous verification, it was confirmed that there should be multiple fragments of content, which are similar to "The Stray Tanuki Cat", which is a serious plagiarism fact...... Ah! ”

Probably too nervous, Mao Lilan didn't hold one in his hand steadily, and the lawsuit slipped from between his fingers and fell onto the table.

Maolilan quickly reached for it, but in a hurry, the paper slid from the table to the floor.

Above the courtroom, there was a burst of laughter.

"Just this little girl, you still want to sue me?"

Daisuke Torakura in the dock had a disdainful expression and an arrogant attitude.

"Can this really be won?" Xiao Ai turned his head to look at Gu Meimen.

"Don't look at what is in front of you with your eyes."

Gu Meimen said meaningfully.

"You have been with me for so long, you should understand that many things are layered on top of each other, what you see with your eyes may only be the first layer, you may guess the second layer, in fact, others will be higher."

"You're talking about something big again, aren't you?"

Xiao Wai's eyes were empty.

"I don't think you should be a lawyer, go and become a master of success, this thing can be a legal pyramid scheme."

Over there, Maorilan scrambled to pick up the complaint again.

The judge nodded and asked her to continue reading the lawsuit.

Maoliran smiled awkwardly and reached out to pat his hot cheek.

"Our claims are as follows."

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves, and read on.

"First, the defendant Daisuke Torakura needs to pay us 70% of his illegal gains, that is, 700 million yen, as compensation for his infringement of our copyright, and will take the plagiarism off the shelves, and issue a public apology statement at the same time."

"Second, all the costs of this trial shall be borne by the defendant."

"The above, after the statement, please ask the presiding judge to sentence it in accordance with the law."

The judge frowned, looked at Maorilan's flushed face, and shook his head.

Although the law does not limit the profession of an agent ad litem, it is not necessary to be a lawyer.

But the age of this little girl ...... It's too small to say anything.

Even if she is the daughter of Fei Yingli, she came to help others fight lawsuits at the age of 17, and she has no experience, isn't this a joke?

"The plaintiff's attorney has finished his statement."

The judge suppressed his frustration and struck the hammer.

"The defendant and his attorney are invited to express their opinions on the plaintiff's claim."

Daisuke Torakura's lawyer immediately stood up.

"I oppose the plaintiff's claim, the plagiarism facts are false!"

"This person is as shameless as you, as long as you give money, you can take any case." Xiao Wai couldn't help but complain.

"As long as it is a capitalist country, lawyers are basically like this, because most of them are client-oriented, and a series of acts such as investigation and evidence collection are done by lawyers, and lawyers who are the mouthpieces of the people are national treasures here."

Gu Meimen said.

"Unless you go to a country across the ocean, where the judiciary implements the doctrine of authority, the lawyer does not play a big role, the court plays a leading role, and can play the right to investigate and collect evidence, and the lawyer can only point out the negligence of the court at most and go through the process. If you want the truth, it might be easier to do it over there, unless there's corruption in the judiciary. ”

"Well......" sighed after a moment's thought, "if only I had been born to a country across the ocean." ”

Below.

Both sides have already stated their opinions.

Then comes the second stage.

This is the evidence pulling stage.

"Please state evidence that matches the facts of the proceedings."

Maoliran nodded, and took several papers from the table.

As far as the eye can see, there are forms on the paper.

The form is similar to what Xiao Wai did before.

Paragraphs of the article are included in it, and similar paragraphs will be marked with different color fonts.

It's the classic palette mode of identifying plagiarized paragraphs.

"The one on the left of the form is what we wrote, and the one on the right is what the defendant wrote."

Maoliran posted the documents one by one on a whiteboard in the center of the courtroom.
