Conan: The winner is justice

That night, Haibara Ai followed Komemon back to his new office in Shibuya.

In order to save money, Gu Meimen returned the house he originally rented in Edogawa District, and now lives and eats in the office.

"Two sofas, one for each person."

When sleeping, Gu Meimen threw a quilt to Haihara Ai.

Hui Yuan Ai glanced around the environment of the office.

"It's really shabby."

"Stop talking nonsense and go to bed early. We have to catch the train to Chiba Prefecture tomorrow."

Hui Yuan Ai glanced at the old sofa with several holes in it, silently curled up in it, covered her small body with the quilt tightly, and closed her eyes.

"Good night."

That night, there was no words.

The next day, Gu Meimen closed the office and took Haihara Ai to the train station.

Before getting in the car, Gu Meimen handed her a pair of white breathable masks.

"In order to avoid unnecessary complications, starting from today, you must cut off all ties with the past. From now on, your name will be Gumei Menai, and your identity will be my sister from the country. Don't let me hear Haiyuan (はいばら) again. This name."

"Cut it all off with the past..."

Haiyuan Ai, no, Gu Meimen Ai took the mask, and her ice blue eyes appeared in a trance for a moment.

Parents in the fire, sister's death...

"Don't let me see your expression like this all the time. It's very annoying. As a primary school student, don't pretend to be depressed. Thank you. It would be terrible if someone finds out that I employ child labor. I have to be careful in everything, do you understand?"

Gu Meimen's unkind words brought Xiao Ai back from her sad thoughts.

"I see."

She didn't say a word, and nodded lightly.

Wearing a mask to cover her face, Xiao Ai followed Gu Meimen onto the train and headed to Chiba County to meet the client there.

Of course, the so-called avoidance of child labor being discovered is only a superficial excuse.

It's mainly the black organization. Gu Meimen doesn't want to have anything to do with those stupid people. Seeing that Gin always likes to follow people and scream "Shirley", it's simply crazy.

With a roar, the train began to move.

On the train, Gu Meimen and Xiao Ai were sitting opposite each other.

After thinking about it, Gu Meimen took out a stack of information from his briefcase and handed it to the other party, looking at her with a supervisor's eyes.

"This is some information related to this commission. You should first analyze how to solve this case."

"Um."

Xiao Ai nodded, took the information, and read through it one by one.

As you can see, it mainly contains the confessions of the parties involved, the testimonies of some witnesses, and the first-instance verdict of the Chiba Prefecture District Court.

Yes, this case has already been tried in the first instance.

The court convicted the client, former Chiba Prefectural Police Department detective Kazushi Nakamichi, of intentional homicide and was sentenced to 20 years in prison in accordance with the law.

Of course Kazushi Nakamichi's family cannot accept such a long sentence, so they plan to hire another lawyer to appeal to the Tokyo High Court, hoping to change the sentence at the second instance.

After Xiao Ai read it, he raised his head and said: "This case is very troublesome. If you want to appeal, you need to submit the reasons for the prosecution. However, many witnesses in the first trial accused him of committing the crime, including four of his college classmates, including Mouri Kogoro, and others. With the physical evidence of a pistol and the various interests entangled between him and the victim, it can be said that there is sufficient motive for the murder."

"So? How do you think the case can be overturned?"

Gu Meimen looked at Xiao Ai who was analyzing carefully and asked with interest.

Xiao Ai paused, thought for a while, and highlighted a few words.

"Just refer to a deer as a horse."

Seeing Xiao Ai's faint eyes, Gu Meimen smiled.

He smiled like the kind of evil boss who makes his employees work overtime for several days without being paid, who works day and night and eventually dies suddenly without paying them any pension.

He patted Xiao Ai on the shoulder and said in a serious tone.

"Work hard and life will become more and more pleasant."

Xiao Ai glanced at him sideways.

"When you say Gan, do you mean the kind of Gan who doesn't even have a dormitory for employees or a bed, and can only sleep on a sofa full of holes?"

"Don't say that, after all the hard work comes the reward. I'll buy you a cup of full-sugar milk tea after I get off the bus."

"That's really sweet. Thank you very much."

Although Chiba Prefecture is outside Tokyo, it essentially belongs to the Tokyo area. Various relationships are interconnected, including administration, economy, law enforcement, justice, etc. For example, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is also responsible for Chiba Prefecture. This way.

The train traveled for less than an hour and arrived at its destination.

Gu Meimen took Xiao Ai out of the car, and followed the guidance of the mobile phone navigation towards the client's home.

During this period, I transferred to the subway twice and took the bus all the way, and finally arrived in a rural field.

After asking passers-by for directions, the two of them came to the door of He's B\u0026B with the name "Zhongdao" written on it.

Nakamichi Kazuto, the brother of the client Nakamichi Kazushi, is also the client in this case.

Gu Meimen knocked on the door, and soon, an old man in his forties or fifties with half-white hair came out and welcomed them in.

"I am lawyer Gu Meimen, the defense attorney introduced by lawyer Sakaguchi."

After sitting down, Gu Meimen went straight to the point and explained his intention.

Nakamichi Kazuto nodded: "Sakaguchi has explained the detailed situation to me on the phone, but..."

As he spoke, he looked up and down at Gu Meimen's appearance.

"I didn't expect that Lawyer Gu Meimen would be so young. He is really a formidable person."

Having said that, his tone sounded a little disappointed.

Gu Meimen certainly knew what Nakamichi Kazuto was thinking.

Lawyers are professionals in the legal profession. Although promotions are not based on years and seniority as civil servants in the prosecutor's office, age can also represent some conditions, such as experience in litigating cases.

In fact, this is the case in any industry. As the saying goes, if you talk the talk, you will not get the job done.

"This is the assessment data for my internship and training at the Judicial Training Institute."

Komemon followed the same pattern and handed a stack of documents filled with A+ to Kazuto Nakamichi just like last time.

Nakamichi Kazuto took it and looked at it before his expression softened a little.

However, he still hesitated.

"Lawyer Gu Meimen is a new lawyer, right? I'm worried that you may not be qualified due to your lack of experience..."

"This is relevant information about the lawsuit I helped Sakaguchi fight."

With a snap, another pile of things was placed in front of Kazuto Nakamichi.

This includes the verdict of the Sakaguchi lawsuit and relevant local news.

Nakamichi Kazuto read these information for a while, and then his eyes towards Gu Meimen suddenly became suspicious.

Because of these news, Gu Meimen, a new lawyer, was almost blown to the sky.

"Are these all true?"

"Of course, you don't believe in the power of these media outlets?"

"No, it's not, it's just..."

The corner of Gu Meimen's mouth raised slightly: "Don't worry, although it may be a bit exaggerated, it is absolutely genuine. Of course, I am referring to my level."
