Conan: The winner is justice

Chapter 17 You should be the big Buddha of Mihua Temple

Facing the incredulous Gu Meimen, Masayoshi Sakaguchi smiled, but he looked relieved.

"It is true that Maehara Tsuyoshi caused me to lose my son, but he is also a child with parents. I am a lawyer responsible for juvenile cases, so I can understand the feelings of parents who are completely separated from their children. Anyway, I made the mistake, so I want to give their relatives some compensation as much as possible, as atonement."

After listening to his words, Gu Meimen sighed.

"So, I've said it, how do you know you really made a mistake?"

"Uh, isn't it me?" Sakaguchi asked doubtfully.

"Please, think about it carefully. Do you think you can really do those things easily with that fool-like method? Didn't you hear what I said in court?"

Sakaguchi was stunned.

Indeed, Gu Meimen said so, if you really take it seriously, those things are indeed difficult to do.

"So, it really could be an accident, do you understand?"

"But, the password is me..."

"Password, what password? What can it prove? There are so many words with the same meaning in Japanese, and the usage is messy. There are no restrictions. You can say good morning (おはよう) to people at night. You are a dizzy half-old man, and When a dog says good night, how do you know for sure what command you said?"

"Well……"

Sakaguchi blinked.

Thinking about it carefully, he really couldn't be sure what he was talking about at that time. After all, just as Gu Meimen said, he was getting older and his memory had declined a lot.

"Did I really not kill anyone?"

Sakaguchi was dumbfounded and felt a little ridiculous for a moment.

It's ridiculous that he can't even confirm the true facts.

Sakaguchi was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"However, Tsuyoshi Maehara died because of the dog I raised. This cannot be changed. According to the requirements of civil liability, I paid his family three times more compensation."

"..."

Gu Meimen stared at Masayoshi Sakaguchi for a while.

Then he reached out and patted his shoulder, pulled his body to the right, and pointed in the direction of the horizon in the distance.

"Did you see that mountain? There is a Rice Flower Temple on the mountain. I think you should be the big Buddha inside."

"Well, Lawyer Gu Meimen said something serious."

Masayoshi Sakaguchi knew that Gu Meimen was mocking him, so he wasn't angry, but he still had that relieved smile.

Gu Meimen shook his head.

There is a very contradictory place in this world.

Although murders occur frequently here, everyone has the possibility of becoming a criminal. People will be swayed by their emotions and commit various impulsive crimes.

But, most of the people here still have good intentions towards others from the bottom of their hearts.

The most intuitive expression is what was said before. Most people who have no connection with him show positive feelings toward him, rather than stopping at zero or negative numbers.

This has also led to the fact that after committing a crime, many prisoners will kneel down and repent as long as a famous detective gives a few clues, even if there is no definite evidence.

"The human heart is really unpredictable..."

Gu Meimen curled her lips. In his opinion, they are all a bunch of fools.

"Actually, I wasn't so determined to sell the house at the beginning."

Masayoshi Sakaguchi said at this time.

"Until a few days ago, I saw a little girl with brown hair in front of my house, squatting outside my yard and crying. I asked her what was wrong, and she said that her sister had been killed and she was now homeless. My only relative is gone. Looking at her pitiful expression, I feel deeply touched in my heart, thinking that no matter what, Tsuyoshi Maehara is alone..."

"Okay, okay, I know what you mean."

Gu Meimen interrupted Masayoshi Sakaguchi and did not let him continue to say those touching and confessional remarks.

"So what about the little girl? If you are so kind and charitable, you won't recognize her as your goddaughter, right?"

"That's not true, but she does happen to be staying at my house right now."

"..."

Gu Meimen almost bit her tongue.

He opened his mouth wide and looked at Masayoshi Sakaguchi in front of him in surprise, looking at the kind expression on his face.

"You are such a top performer!"

Gu Meimen let out a long sigh.

Anyway, he couldn't understand this seemingly noble spirit.

Maybe he would admire such people, but he would not do it himself.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and give me my money."

Komemon stretched out his hand to Masayoshi Sakaguchi.

The purpose of his coming today is to ask for money, not to listen to the good deeds of good people.

Masayoshi Sakaguchi nodded, took out a stack of checkbooks from his arms, tore off a sheet, wrote the amount and name, and endorsed it to the other party.

Gu Meimen took the check and saw the amount of 1.5 million written on it.

"The extra five hundred thousand should be regarded as my overdue late payment."

"That's great, happy working together!"

Gu Meimen put the check away with a smile.

After getting the money, he didn't plan to waste any more time here. He exchanged a few words with Sakaguchi and was about to say goodbye and leave.

"Uncle Sakaguchi, I'm back!"

At this time, a little girl's voice came from the street next to her.

The little girl carries a schoolbag, has short brown hair, a fair face with melon seeds, and a pair of beautiful big eyes under the curved eyebrows.

Gu Meimen, who was about to leave, frowned slightly. For some reason, this girl seemed familiar.

Her eyes were calm, and there seemed to be intelligence in them - it was incredible to see such things in the eyes of a child.

"Welcome home!" Masayoshi Sakaguchi greeted with a smile, "This is the child I just told you about. Xiao Ai, come here, this is Uncle Gu Meimen I told you before, come and say hello to him. "

The little girl came over in a well-behaved manner and bent down towards Gu Meimen.

"Hello, Uncle Gu Meimen. My name is Huihara Ai, please give me your advice."

"..."

"..."

Well, now he has encountered everything.

Gu Meimen put his hand on his forehead and said that this little girl looked familiar.

It turns out to be the legendary otaku goddess in the anime.

Haibara Ai, whose real name is Miyano Shiho, is known as a genius girl in the black organization. Like Kudo Shinichi, she shrunk after taking medicine.

But according to the plot, she should be staying at Dr. A Li's house now.

Why did you come to the home of such a... um, Rice Flower Buddha inexplicably?

Gu Meimen thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.

But he wasn't too entangled in this place.

What does it have to do with whether the characters in the original work are dead or alive? It is said to be the world of Conan, but this world is so big that it is not impossible to live without the plot.

"Kid, live a good life with your Uncle Sakaguchi. The outside world is very dangerous, so don't wander around!"

Gu Meimen smiled and touched Haiyuan Ai's head.

After that, he stopped staying here, said goodbye to the two of them, and left the area.

In the courtyard, Hui Yuan Ai quietly watched Gu Meimen's leaving figure. Her big, calm eyes seemed to fluctuate, but after a moment, they returned to normal.

After leaving Mihua Residential Area, the first thing Gu Meimen did was to withdraw money from the payment bank recorded on the check.

Walking on the commercial street, Gu Meimen looked around cautiously.

He was observing the favorability bars on pedestrians' heads.

As mentioned earlier, most people’s favorability bar is positive.

But that's actually only for people who don't have any criminal tendencies yet.

If it is a person who is about to commit a crime soon, his favorability bar is very likely to become a negative number.

why?

It's very simple. People generally have negative emotions when they commit crimes. According to criminal psychology, people in this state will have a bit of "it would be great if the world were destroyed like this" mentality when looking at the people around them. .

If someone sees that his favorability is negative, be careful.

Maybe he will commit a crime soon, and it will also affect the people around him.

If he goes to the bank to withdraw money, a guy with negative favorability happens to run in, pull out a gun, shoot at the people around him, and rob the bank. Although this probability is very low, it is not impossible in this world.

Of course, if the favorability score is negative, it is also possible that the person is simply in a bad mood, but Gu Meimen, who is always cautious, will not allow himself to make any mistakes. After all, he now has a huge amount of money.

"Cash withdrawal or transfer?"

"Transfer the money, I have an account at this bank."

"Okay sir, please wait a moment."

After spending a long time looking for a good bank to withdraw money, Gu Meimen breathed a sigh of relief and saw the bank account on his mobile phone. The money in it had been successfully received.

The matter was finally resolved.

The next step is to plan how to use the money and use it to plan for future work and life.
