Conan: The winner is justice

Chapter 157 Civil Litigation, Novel Plagiarism Case

Xiao Ai said word for word.

Gu Meimen looked at the girl's big blue eyes quietly.

After a moment, he smiled.

"You learn very quickly. You have integrated all the knowledge I just taught you so quickly, and you have also learned to draw inferences from one instance to another. I think you can publish a book called "Study on Ancient Beauty" to analyze me specifically. characteristics.”

"Actually, you can trust me." Xiao Ai said lightly, "After all, I am yours now."

Gu Meimen raised her eyebrows: "Don't be so ambiguous in your speech. You are not mine. I only treat you as my employee."

"oh?"

The corners of Xiao Ai's mouth raised slightly.

"That Gu Meimen who used to bet on me and pretend that you are mine and want to be my cow and horse for the rest of my life, could it be that my memory is messed up?"

Gu Meimen rolled her eyes: "That's what I said casually."

"Even if you don't admit it, I will haunt you for the rest of my life."

"Come on, don't do that Japanese light novel drama, okay?"

"Gumei Menoni-chan~"

"...I'm going to vomit, don't call me so disgusting."

"Aren't you just going to do this?"

"Pull it down, your little tablet is on the cover and illustrations of a Japanese light novel. Readers will clamor for a refund after reading it."

"Really? Onii-chan~"

"Damn, are you still coming?"

"I just like seeing your expression."

The girl chuckled.

After getting along with Gu Meimen for a long time, the relationship between the two is much closer than before.

It's all casual to tease each other, complain, and even make some not-so-serious jokes.

However, Xiao Ai also knew that Gu Meimen rarely really revealed his true feelings to others.

Of course, she is the same in this regard.

They are both the same type, and that is why they have been able to make it this far.

But daily life like this is always so fleeting.

The two sides joked for a while, and then a bell came from the door.

When business came to the door, Gu Meimen immediately stopped and tidied up the messy room.

Then, he told Xiao Ai to open the door.

The door opened, and a young man in his twenties stood outside.

The young man looks ordinary, wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, a pair of glasses on his face, and a shoulder bag on his back.

Gu Meimen took a look, it was a standard Japanese otaku suit.

It's unusual for a otaku to come to ask for a commission.

"My name is Kimura Takuya."

Otaku first introduced himself.

"Kimura Takuya's Kimura?" Xiao Ai asked.

"Yes, but of course I'm not as famous as he is."

Kimura smiled bitterly, "Now I am just an otaku novelist, and a writer with little promise."

"That's it."

Gu Meimen nodded and stood up.

"Xiao Ai, see you off."

"..."

"……ah?"

Kimura sat blankly on the sofa, pushed up his glasses, and didn't react for a while.

"Hey, why don't you just listen to the entrustment?" Xiao Ai said speechlessly.

"What's there to say?" Gu Meimen waved his hand, "This guy definitely can't afford the commission fee, so why should I waste my time?"

"Isn't it bad that you are always like this? Don't you say that customers are all gods?"

Gu Meimen disagreed: "Then you have to give enough money to be called a god. Customers like this type usually have little money and a lot of shit. If you charge them tens of thousands or a few cents, you will treat yourself as an uncle." Now, you want me to spoil him?"

"..."

Xiao Ai twitched the corner of her mouth.

Gu Meimen really has the word snobbery written on his face.

And he said it in front of other customers, which is no one else.

"What, I can sign a risk agency agreement..."

Kimura on the side intervened and raised his hand weakly.

Gu Meimen turned her head and looked him up and down: "Do you know the risk agent?"

"Of course, contingency agency only pays attorney fees after winning the lawsuit, and can only be used in civil litigation." Kimura said.

"Yes, you are worthy of being a novelist."

Gu Meimen nodded.

If most people don’t have a special understanding of the lawyer industry, they won’t know some of the professional terminology.

Gu Meimen continued to ask: "So, the person you want to sue must be very rich?"

Kimura nodded and said, "You should be considered rich. The other person is a great writer. I want to sue him for plagiarizing my book."

"Mr. Kimura, please sit down, Xiao Ai, let's watch some tea!"

Gu Meimen immediately became energetic and immediately ordered Xiao Ai to make tea and receive the guests.

Xiao Ai rolled her eyes, her face changing so quickly.

After the tea was brewed, Kimura began to explain the matters he wanted to entrust.

"That's right, I serialized a novel on Yuankong Library..."

Kimura is a professional writer.

To say he is a writer is actually more appropriate as a writer.

His daily job is to serialize novels online.

Some time ago, he published a new book called "The Stray Cihua Cat".

This book is a street work and has little popularity.

Kimura didn't care about his grades at first, thinking it didn't matter, he could just make a living.

However, not long after, a book with the same theme appeared on another novel website called Aozora Bunko.

The writing style of this book is very similar to his.

Unlike his book, that book was written by a great writer and was very popular.

After reading it, Kimura thought that the writer had plagiarized his book.

"In other words, this is a typical copyright lawsuit, a novel plagiarism case."

Gu Meimen is getting more and more energetic.

Generally speaking, there is a lot of money to be made in civil litigation related to copyright.

This kind of case is a piece of cake, and if you grab it, you will definitely make money.

"Very well, tell me the name of the writer who copied you and the title of his book."

Gu Meimen immediately told Xiao Ai to take notes.

Kimura nodded: "The name of the book is "The Adventures of the Shield Black Cat", and its author's name is Daisuke Tokura."

"Um?"

Gu Meimen raised her eyebrows.

The title of the book and the author's name are a bit familiar, as if I've heard them somewhere.

After thinking about it carefully, I have some vague memories in my mind.

Daisuke Tokura, this seems to be the name of a person in a case in the original Conan. (From "The Murders at Dresula's Villa")

"I seem to have an impression of the book he was talking about, The Adventures of the Shield Black Cat."

Xiao Ai also said at this time.

"We heard about this book in the last lawsuit."

Gu Meimen also remembered it.

In the last trial of a lawsuit, the other party’s witness, a professor named Matsushita, had been addicted to this book on the Internet.

"It's too much. The works created by a writer are like his own children. How can he plagiarize!"

Gu Meimen stood up and said indignantly.

"Hey, why didn't I see it before that you are so interested in novels?"

Xiao Ai complained on the side.

Gu Meimen ignored her and held Kimura's hand, looking very righteous.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me! For such a shameful thing as plagiarism of a novel, I will definitely help you get justice!"
