Conan: The winner is justice

Chapter 45 “Superfluous” Evidence

But no matter what, the plaintiff’s two lawsuit facts all have photos.

No matter where the photo came from (it was all taken by Xiao Ai), it doesn’t matter.

The court only talks about evidence and whether the evidence is legal.

Even if you were hit by a truck, and you took out your camera and took two sets of photos before you died in the air, no one would care. As long as the source of the evidence is legal, it complies with the procedures.

This kind of continuously captured photos is not only direct evidence, but also has a certain degree of logic. It is considered to be ironclad evidence, and the plaintiff can easily win.

The judge nodded and was about to knock down the gavel.

But at this time, Gu Meimen suddenly opened his mouth again.

"I request to call witnesses and additional exhibits because I still have some evidence and I want to tell it all in court."

The judge gave him a strange look and tapped his hammer.

"Agree to the application!"

After a while, a middle-aged fat woman was brought up.

"This is the neighbor who lives next to the apartment where Nagakawa Tatsuya lives, Ms. Bingu."

Gu Meimen introduced.

"Now, please tell Ms. Bingu your testimony."

The fat woman nodded and looked at Nagakawa Tatsuya with a look of fear on her face.

"Every night late at night, I would hear strange sounds coming from next door, like the sound of sharpening knives, the sound of hammers hitting the ground, and creepy laughter, all from this person's room. It was spread.”

Nagai Tatsuya became anxious upon hearing this.

"You're talking nonsense, I was sleeping at that time!"

The fat woman ignored him and continued: "Your honor, what I said is absolutely true! This man doesn't know what he is doing late at night every night!"

Nagakawa Tatsuya roared: "I told you, I'm sleeping!"

The judge banged the hammer: "Quiet!"

Wait until the court becomes quiet.

The judge then looked at Gu Meimen: "Plaintiff's attorney, what is the connection between the witnesses you summoned and the facts of this case?"

"Of course!"

Gu Meimen paused.

Then he said word for word.

"We believe that the defendant is also suspected of premeditating other crimes, such as intentional homicide and rape!"

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone was shocked.

"You are slandering and there is nothing to say!"

Nagakawa Tatsuya almost jumped.

Premeditated murder? Premeditated rape?

He did have this plan and bought the corresponding tools.

But he has never exposed this plan. There is no such thing as sharpening a knife at night!

Here, Gu Meimen ignored the jumping Nagai Tatsuya.

"I request that new witnesses be called!"

Soon, several new witnesses came to the court.

"This man bought some hardware tools from me. I remember he asked me if the glass knife was sharp. At that time, his smile was disgusting and obscene, so I was deeply impressed."

This is the owner of a hardware store.

"This man had visited my store and bought some lube and condoms. His expression was as if he was about to commit a crime."

This is the owner of a sex shop.

"This person once visited my store and bought some CDs about tailgating."

"This guy had been in my store and bought some books on tailgating."

These two are a video store and a bookstore.

The more Nagai Tatsuya listened, the more sweat dripped from his forehead.

Some of the testimonies of these witnesses are indeed true. For example, he did visit hardware stores and sex toy stores.

But the last two are completely fabricated!

"There is also surveillance evidence from hardware stores and sex toy stores, which can prove that the defendant did visit them."

"In addition, for several days in a row, the defendant hid below our client's apartment and peeped. Here are the photos."

Gu Meimen took out a USB flash drive with several photos.

The bombardment of evidence is almost dizzying.

Everyone's eyes turned to the defendant in this lawsuit, Nagai Tatsuya.

For a while, everyone was whispering.

Doubts, surprises, and all kinds of voices came one after another.

Nagai Tatsuya was sweating profusely and feeling flustered.

He finally understood this time.

The other party came prepared!

These evidences are true and false, and some of them are deliberately forged, just to accuse him. In addition to civil compensation, they also want him to accept criminal proceedings and put him in jail!

"protest!"

His defense lawyer, Hoshi Saku, stood up hastily.

"The plaintiff said that the facts have nothing to do with this lawsuit and he should file another lawsuit!"

The judge glanced at him and knocked the hammer: "The protest is invalid! Please continue to present evidence!"

Saku Hoshi could only sit down angrily.

Generally speaking, in this case, the judge will not let the plaintiff continue to speak, because strictly speaking, these are two cases, one civil and one criminal. According to the procedures, separate lawsuits should be filed. Criminal cases can only be prosecuted by the procuratorate.

But this judge...he, no, should be called her.

She is a female judge.

Legally she will not favor anyone, but emotionally she will favor the person of the same sex as herself.

Not to mention, this was a premeditated rape and murder case.

The right of interpretation always lies with the judge, and the defendant has no choice at all.

So, Gu Meimen continued.

He produced the last and most critical piece of evidence.

"This is a photo of the downstairs apartment of our plaintiff, Ms. Miho Nishitani."

In the photo, there is a half-opened blue and white sports bag, placed on the edge of the dirt near the bushes, in a very secretive location.

From the half-open opening, some tools can be vaguely seen.

For example, props such as glass drills and screwdrivers that can easily break doors.

"Because it is an important exhibit, we have not touched the package. We can ask people from the procuratorate to collect evidence later."

Gu Meimen took a deep breath, and then spoke loudly and forcefully.

"Coupled with the witness's testimony, which is logically coherent, we have sufficient reason to suspect that this is the defendant's crime tool! He has enough suspicion to be charged with premeditated murder and premeditated rape!"

At this moment, the court was in an uproar.

No one expected that a small civil lawsuit would slowly evolve into a criminal case!

Nagai Tatsuya in the dock was sweating, and his expression suddenly changed.

Suddenly, he stood up and ran towards the exit as hard as he could to escape.

The judicial police on both sides made a prompt decision and caught him with lightning speed.

"Let me go, I didn't break the law, you can't arrest me!"

Nagai Tatsuya struggled desperately, shouting as he struggled.

But his strength was so weak in front of the well-trained police. He was pinned to the table and unable to move.

Xiao Ai, who was sitting in the auditorium, looked at the scene in front of her.

Her expression was as calm as ever, but there was a trace of confusion in her eyes.

In fact, there was something she didn't understand before coming here.

If it is a civil lawsuit, the two facts at the beginning and the two sets of photos she captured are enough to win the lawsuit. Strictly speaking, these photos are not considered forged evidence, they are just fabricated evidence and do not exceed the legal limit. category.

So why does Gu Meimen insist on forging evidence, falsifying motives, and even inducing some witnesses to speak inappropriately——

For example, the fat woman next door and the owner of the video store and bookstore were all perjury induced by him.

The client's claim is merely a civil action.

Strictly speaking, putting the other party in jail is not actually part of the client's demands.

Why did Gu Meimen do so much "superfluous" work and obtain so much "superfluous" evidence, and why did he insist on establishing a criminal case against the other party?

Xiao Ai didn't quite understand, she couldn't understand it.

I can only go to Gu Meimen and ask in person later.

I posted a single chapter earlier, and some readers thought I was influenced by some comments...

It does have some influence, but not much. In fact, I have refined every comment in the book review section, whether it is criticizing me or praising me.

Posting a single chapter, first of all, I want to see how popular it really is and how many comments there are. After all, I am a nameless person, but I am inexplicably ranked first on the new book list. It doesn’t feel real to anyone.

The second is to clear up the confusion of some readers who don’t understand and are still complaining. Don’t post repetitive comments that have little content and make the author feel tired. Don’t think that I am standing against the readers. I am writing stories. I definitely want readers to read it, so why would I scold readers? In fact, you have already read the latest chapter, so you must be a reader, and you are not the kind of person who messes around to try to hack me. But what left me speechless was that some readers actually thought I was trying to explain and cover up, and scolded me again. You even saw this and you still scolded me. I really surrendered to YOU ​​and could only fly away for you.

It’s true, I never delete posts. Those who don’t suppress comments are just to improve comments. Why bother with me...

I drank some wine today, so I'm a little emotional. Please forgive me.

Thanks as usual for monthly and recommended votes.
