Conan: The winner is justice

Chapter 167 Thirty percent, not a single penny less

"Mr. Tokura, concerning the suspected plagiarism of your latest work, "The Adventures of Shield Black Cat", the original author has filed a lawsuit with the court. In the past few days, you should have received a letter from the other party's lawyer, right? "

"Haha, where did the plagiarism come from? They are all unknown and incompetent authors who just want to gain fame through lawsuits."

Tokura Daisuke was leaning on the sofa, looking disdainful.

"Oh, the original author has already posted online, claiming that he will protect his rights to the end."

Gu Meimen put on a smile.

He stretched out a finger and tapped the table lightly.

"I heard that the other party hired Fei Yingli Law Firm for this case. I think if this matter gets too big, it might not end well for you, right?"

Daisuke Tokura narrowed his eyes: "What does Lawyer Gu Meimen mean?"

"I'll get right to the point."

Gu Meimen gently raised her right hand and stretched out three fingers.

"I will help you win this lawsuit. In contrast, you need to pay me 30% of the compensation requested by the other party."

Daisuke Tokura frowned slightly: "Thirty percent? Lawyer Gu Meimen, your appetite is too big, right?"

What Gu Meimen said is still a risk agent.

The difference from before is that Daisuke Tokura, whom he represents this time, is the defendant.

The 30% he said mainly depends on the compensation fees requested by the plaintiff.

According to Japanese copyright law and previous legal cases of the same type, the probability is about 70% of the profits from infringement.

That is 30% of 70% of 1 billion, almost more than 200 million.

"No, no, that's not much at all."

Gu Meimen smiled, raised a finger, shook it gently, and emphasized his tone.

"The other party is Fei Yingli Office. If you lose, you will lose 700 million at once. If you win, you only need to pay 200 million. 700 million or 200 million, which is more important? I think you should settle this account clearly. Bar?"

Tokura Daisuke was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

“Whether it was plagiarism or not has not yet been decided.”

He took a sip of tea.

"Several people tried to sue me in the past, but in the end, they always lost the case, and this time is no exception."

Gu Meimen raised his eyebrows: "Oh? It seems that Mr. Tokura, you are very confident."

"Huh, I'm old at this kind of thing."

Tokura Daisuke looked disdainful.

"In today's era of developed Internet literature, the amount of text is overwhelming. When writing novels, it is inevitable that there will be some similar sense of déjà vu. Some fragments look similar, but what does it mean?"

"Really?" Gu Meimen nodded slightly, "Since you said it for this reason, then there is no need to talk about it?"

"It's not impossible to negotiate, but Lawyer Gu Meimen, the fee you want is too high."

Torakura Daisuke looked at Komemon and said easily.

"If you can condescend and lower the fee a little...that's it, one million commission fee plus two million remuneration, how about it?"

Daisuke Tokura gave a total of three million.

This price is already very high according to the normal charging rates in the legal profession.

It's a pity that Gu Meimen has never been the "normal" type.

"Thirty percent, not a penny less." Gu Meimen's attitude was firm.

"Then, Mr. Lawyer, please come back." Daisuke Tokura gently raised his right hand as a farewell gesture.

"In that case, I won't say anything."

So, Gu Meimen stood up from the sofa very decisively.

"Excuse me, Mr. Tokura, I'll take my leave."

With that said, Gu Meimen left the living room and walked towards the door.

However, when he reached the door, he turned his head again.

"Mr. Tokura, your words are not absolute. If you change your mind later..."

Gu Meimen smiled slightly, showing a meaningful expression.

"Please call our firm. The price is still the same and will not change. The door of Gumeimen Law Firm will still be open for you."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.

Daisuke Tokura was left sitting on the sofa, frowning.

"What did he mean by what he just said? Was it to threaten me?" he said slightly dissatisfied.

"No, I guess not."

Tadokoro Toshiya thought for a moment and shook his head.

"I heard that Lawyer Gu Meimen has never lost a single record since his debut. What he said should have his intentions."

"What's the purpose? He's saying that I will lose the lawsuit? Will I be accused of plagiarism?"

Tokura Daisuke disagreed.

Looking at Gu Meimen's leaving figure, he sneered and said disdainfully.

"He's just a money-grubbing lawyer. There are plenty of such dirty things in the world. There's no need to go to him alone."

Gu Meimen was sitting at the station waiting for the bus when her cell phone suddenly rang.

When I opened it, I saw that it was Xiao Ai who opened it.

Gu Meimen pressed the answer button.

"how's it going?"

Xiao Ai's lazy voice came from over there.

Gu Meimen shrugged: "What else can we do? We haven't reached an agreement yet. The other party looks confident and doesn't take plagiarism seriously at all."

"Haha, you deserve it, aren't you yellow again?"

Immediately there came a little sad voice from over there.

Gu Meimen smiled: "You called here specifically, you couldn't be just out of boredom to laugh at me, right?"

"Can't you? I just want to laugh at you."

Xiao Ai's little devil-like voice came.

"Mr. handsome, big talker, I just want to see your disappointed expression..."

"Stop talking nonsense, don't you understand me?"

Gu Meimen directly interrupted her chanting.

"Tell me, what information did you find?"

"……cut."

Xiao Ai curled her lips secretly, and then her tone became serious.

"The reason Tosuke Daisuke is not afraid of being accused of plagiarism is because he has been sued several times in the past and was detained by the Metropolitan Police Department several times. There may be some relevant records there that you will need later. ."

"Oh, you don't need to tell me this. He told me himself."

Xiao Ai's disappointed tone immediately came over there.

"What? It turns out you already know everything. It's so boring."

"So I am now preparing to go to the Metropolitan Police Department and the Prosecutor's Office to get the relevant transcripts and information you mentioned."

Gu Meimen looked at the time.

In the distance, the tram was rushing towards us.

Japanese trains are very punctual, and if it is not for accidents, there will almost never be any delays.

So Gu Meimen stood up from his seat and walked towards the door of the tram.

"Wait for me at home and don't run around like a naughty child. Also, next time, please be more diligent and give me some surprising information, and then call me in a hurry. Do you understand? Little tablet."

"I got it, don't be too old or too young!"

"Oh, this is an adult's advice, kid."

"It's so annoying! Just go die!"

The other side hung up the phone angrily.

"That, Mr. Gu Meimen."

At this time, a voice came from behind.

It was Asheng who actually spoke.

During the period when she was the bodyguard of Gu Meimen, she always looked serious and did not speak, just like a door god.

"With all due respect, you shouldn't have spoken like that just now."

Aso Minori hesitated and said.

"Miss Xiao Ai called me specifically because she cares about you."

"Of course I know, she just said that."

Gu Meimen waved his hand casually.

"Oh, by the way, you are new here. You may not know that she and I are always like this. Just don't be surprised in the future."

"oh oh……"

Aso seemed to understand, and nodded.

We got on the train, drove for a while, and soon arrived at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Station.

After getting off the car, I followed the route I had taken before, passing through several streets through Gumeimen, turning left and right, and finally arrived at the gate of the Metropolitan Police Department.
