Conan: The winner is justice

Chapter 196 Is it a crime to copy a book written by yourself? (superior)

"Teacher Tokura, the book I've been writing has been a bit stuck recently and my thinking is not smooth. I may have to take a week off."

"Ask for leave? One more week? No! How can you just ask for leave?"

"But I can't write it. I don't have any inspiration when I'm at a low point. If I force myself to write, the quality of my work will be reduced."

"What era do you think we are in now? This is the Internet era, and people are everywhere writing novels on the Internet. It is not the blue ocean era a few decades ago, when I could leisurely write for you and polish the quality! You know you need to hire someone If you don’t write for a day, let alone a week, how many readers will I lose? If you don’t write for a day, others will read other people’s works. Who will read my book then?”

"I'm sorry, Tokura-sensei, I really can't force myself to write for the update, otherwise I'll just write rubbish."

"Idiot, it's not you who decides whether it's trash or not. It depends on the reader's senses! Most readers just want to see what's new, and they don't want you to write any masterpieces! If you can't write it, give me hard water. Anyway, you must keep it updated!"

"Hydrology? What you write like that will be used as toilet paper."

"You are such a waste! I told you that in this era of writing books, I don't have time to polish the quality for you! Toilet paper is just toilet paper. Nowadays, Japanese light novels are full of toilet paper. Why don't readers still pay for it?"

"..."

"..."

"Well, I've recently read a few books on the Internet and they feel good. You can refer to them and imitate them."

"what book?"

""The Stray Cihua Cat", this book is good, and its theme is quite similar to ours."

"Isn't it bad to copy other people's books?"

"What a copy, how ugly it sounds. This is called learning from and paying homage to."

"...Okay, I'll take a look when I have time."

"Remember, don't copy everything."

The recording ends here.

"This is a conversation that Hu Cang and I had in his study on XX month XX."

Toshiya Tadokoro handed the recording pen to the clerk as evidence.

"There is clear content in the conversation, which can prove that Hu Cang ordered me to do the copying."

It can be seen that Toshiya Tadokoro put a lot of effort into obtaining this evidence.

Generally speaking, recording evidence in court only needs to be proven to be from a legitimate source and that it is indeed the person speaking.

For the rest, the judiciary will only judge the most critical parts that can be used as evidence.

However, this recording is actually so long.

I recorded everything that is present and missing.

For example, the conversation between the two people in the previous section is actually completely unnecessary, only the section that mentions the title of the book is needed.

At this time, over there in the auditorium.

After the recording ended, it was like a stone thrown into a pond, causing waves.

"How is it possible that Huhu really hired a ghostwriter and plagiarized it?"

"I'm so disappointed that this is true!"

"I will never be a fan of him again!"

"What a bullshit lawyer, actually defending a bad guy!"

"The books he wrote are rubbish and I don't want to read them for a long time!"

Just like a star whose house collapsed, the female fans were furious and their faces turned like pages of a book.

Some people originally held support signs with the words "Tiger and Tiger Must Win", but now they threw the sign away and spat on it.

"It seems that in order to take revenge, this person not only wants to file a lawsuit, but also wants to completely ruin Hucang's reputation in addition to the lawsuit."

In the auditorium, Xiao Ai analyzed this.

"After all, this person's sister was killed by Hu Cang."

Mao Lilan on the side also sighed.

Regarding the truth about this lawsuit, Mao Lilan had already learned from Gu Meimen before.

"Actually, putting aside those big principles, based on my personal emotions, I really don't hope Hu Cang can overturn the verdict in this lawsuit." Mao Lilan shook his head and sighed.

Hearing this, Xiao Ai turned to look at her.

"Sister Xiaolan, you have changed a bit."

"Really? What happened to me?"

"Didn't you notice?" Xiao Ai smiled slightly, "In the past, when you encountered such a thing, you might say, 'If it were Shinichi, what would he do?' But now you are saying, 'Based on my personal emotions. '."

"Well……"

Mao Lilan blinked.

After a moment, he realized what he was doing and his face suddenly turned red.

"Nonsense, I didn't say anything about Shinichi! He has nothing to do with me!"

Mao Lilan said angrily.

Speaking of which, Gu Meimen had complained about her before.

These two brothers and sisters are really alike.

Above the court.

After listening to the recording, Gu Meimen's mouth curled up slightly.

"Mr. Tadokoro, is this the evidence you are talking about?"

"Yes, I think this should be sufficient. Although I am ghostwriting for Tokura, he is instructing me to do all the plagiarism!"

Toshiya Tadokoro raised his head high and looked at Daisuke Tokura, whose expression had completely changed in the dock.

Gu Meimen continued to ask: "Mr. Tiansuo, let me confirm with you again and again whether the recording is authentic and reliable?"

"Of course, we have checked the voiceprint of the recording. The recording is absolutely authentic and is made by me speaking in person."

Prosecutor Reimasa Kujo on the side took over the conversation.

Later, Kujo Reimasa took out the palette evidence that Mao Lilan had produced in the first instance of the civil lawsuit in this case, and compared the plagiarized passages one by one, proving that there were many plot similarities between the two books.

“To sum up, this court believes that the defendant’s plagiarism is established and he should be punished by law!”

Kujo Rei spoke forcefully, looking very confident.

In court.

The judges confirmed the reasonableness of the evidence and discussed it with each other.

Then, the judge knocked the hammer: "Do the defendants and their attorneys have any opinions on the plaintiff's litigation facts?"

Fortunately for the judge, the other jurors had already shown some faint anger in their eyes when looking at the defendant.

The jurors are all ordinary citizens. Before this, they had heard about Hucang's bad deeds on the Internet.

Frankly speaking, Hu Cang, a writer of novels, can only be described as "the scum of the industry".

However, because this case is currently very well-known, the judges did not show anything after the trial and could not favor any party.

Now, if the defendants still cannot produce evidence to refute, they will declare that the procuratorate has won the case.

"Bah bang bang!"

At this time, a loud voice suddenly came from the audience.

It came from Gumeimen.

I saw Gu Meimen with a smile on his face, and at this moment, he started to applaud.

Looking at the expression on Gu Meimen's face, Kujo Rei frowned slightly, suddenly feeling something bad in her heart.

Even though the evidence was so conclusive, he found that his opponent still showed no sign of panic.

Could it be that the other party has any back-ups?

Or is this guy digging a hole?
