Conan: The winner is justice

The conversation between Komemon and Sakaguchi continued until noon.

Before leaving, Gu Meimen thought of something and suddenly asked again.

"Mr. Sakaguchi, are you sure Maehara Tsuyoshi was really killed by your domesticated dog?"

"Of course this is certain!" Sakaguchi said immediately, "I have been training dog training instructions for a long time. Maehara Tsuyoshi must have been killed by my dog."

"Oh, is there a possibility?" Gu Meimen said, "Actually, your instructions did not achieve specific results. Maehara just lost his footing and fell down the stairs while playing with your dog?"

"ah?"

Sakaguchi didn't react for a moment.

"After all, you weren't there." Gu Meimen shrugged.

After committing a crime, many people will think that they are the criminal, but maybe the truth is not that.

The crime rate in the world is so high. When he was doing judicial training and internship, he saw many such examples when reading various files.

After all, it is a real world. The original work is just a mystery comic with many loopholes. What happens in the real world may not be what is written in the original work. The original work cannot be used as a basis.

After obtaining all the information Sakaguchi knew, Gu Meimen left the detention center and headed towards the subway station without stopping.

Now he needs to do two things.

The first thing is to conduct an on-site inspection at Sakaguchi's house, the scene of the murder, to obtain first-hand information and prepare for the subsequent court debate.

The second thing is to contact the witness at the scene named Sanae Sugita.

While walking, Gu Meimen took out a smartphone from his arms——

Regarding the technological level of this world, taking civilian computers as an example, PCs have reached the highest level of 13th generation Intel processors.

However, the folk customs here are very "nostalgic".

Some places look very modern, while others retain many facilities and equipment that were only available in the last century.

Therefore, you can often see people on the street using "Mobile Phone", some using "flip phones", and some using "smartphones".

Well, this is pretty common in the Conan world, not surprising at all.

Gu Meimen used her smartphone to dial a series of numbers.

After a while of Mai Kuraki's music, an impatient female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's hard to sleep in during the holiday, who is it?"

Komemon tried his best to use a patient tone: "Hello, is this Ms. Sanae Sugita? I am Masayoshi Sakaguchi's defense lawyer."

"Lawyer? What do you want from me?"

"Excuse me, do you have time now? Can you come out and meet me? I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Oh, that's right." The tone on the other end of the phone changed immediately, "Of course you can see me if you want. Prepare the labor fee of 20,000 yuan first."

Sanae Sugita is a materialistic girl who likes money, sports cars, jewelry and all shiny things. For these reasons, she dated Maehara for a while.

This is the information given by Sakaguchi, including this phone number.

Perhaps out of hatred, he investigated a lot about Maehara Tsuyoshi before that murder case.

Regarding Sugita Sanae's request, Komemon agreed without any hesitation.

"No problem, I'll give it to you after we meet."

Anyway, he doesn’t need to pay for these. Additional expenses like these are included in the lawyer’s miscellaneous fees in addition to the one million commission fee. He can just ask Sakaguchi to reimburse him later. This was clearly stated in the contract signed by the two before. .

On the other side of the phone, after hearing Gu Meimen's cheerful agreement, Sugita Sanae immediately changed her attitude, and even her voice became more delicate.

"Mr. Lawyer, how generous of you is to make an appointment at a time and place?"

"How about the Boston Italian restaurant near the Mikkacho station at five o'clock in the afternoon?"

"Okay, I must put on beautiful makeup~see you there!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Meimen took out his wallet and counted the bills inside.

He still has plenty of money. Although it cost him a lot of money to get a lawyer's license, fortunately, he was paid a salary during his internship at the Judicial Training Institute, which was 180,000 yuan per month. Now he still has hundreds of thousands in his wallet, which is completely enough. expenses until the lawsuit is settled.

After making an appointment to meet the witness, Komemon went without stopping and took the subway subway bus to the house where Masayoshi Sakaguchi lived in Miwa Town.

At first glance, this is a very big house. It is a common 2+1-story single-family building in Japan, but it is much larger.

Open the door with the key given by Masayoshi Sakaguchi. There is a large space in the courtyard. Some roses are planted, exuding the fragrance of flowers and plants. There is a small dog house not far away, but there is no dog living in it.

Before the judicial trial is completed, all the evidence will be handed over to the prosecutor's office. Of course, the dog named John that attacked the person will not be here.

Gu Meimen opened the door of the house with the key and walked in.

The decoration inside is a combination of Western and Japanese. After passing through the entrance and corridor, there is a large living room.

The living room is spacious, with the ceiling reaching directly to the second floor. Near the right wall is the staircase leading to the second floor, which is also the specific location where Maehara died.

Gu Meimen walked around the living room for a while and then came to the stairs.

The staircase is composed of two sections. On the ground of the turning platform, there are still remains the outline of the corpse outlined in white chalk, which is the trace line used to mark the scene.

Gu Meimen squatted down and stared at the outline of the corpse for a while.

The lower body of the silhouette is on the platform, and the upper body is on the wall above, proving that the cause of death of the deceased was indeed his neck breaking when he hit the wall.

Then Gu Meimen stood up and followed the stairs to the second floor.

At the top of the stairs is a platform of about ten square meters. There is a room against the right wall. There is a "Masato" sign on the door, which means that this is the room of Sakaguchi's deceased son——

The dog named John also stands on this platform every night to greet his owner.

Gu Meimen stood on this platform and opened his arms to measure its area.

This platform is quite big when you stand on it.

There was a distance of several steps from the door to the gentleman's room to the stairs.

If it was true, as Sakaguchi said, that he could accurately throw Maehara Go down the stairs through dog training, then Maehara Go was too careless and too unlucky.

After the inspection, Gu Meimen took out a piece of information from his bag.

This is a copy of the forensic report on the deceased that Gu Meimen obtained from the Metropolitan Police in advance.

In criminal proceedings, defense lawyers have the right to obtain, review, excerpt, and copy inquiry materials such as these that are controlled by administrative units.

"Well……"

Looking at the information in his hand and comparing it with the surrounding environment, Gu Meimen thought in his mind.

As for how to argue in court, he has gradually developed some ideas after conducting field trips.

"Bang!"

At this time, there was a sudden noise from the courtyard.

From the window in the corridor, Gu Meimen saw several policemen outside, carrying a cage containing a dog. Next to them were two men and women wearing prosecutor's office uniforms, and several children watching.

"Hurry up, I still have work to do when I get back!"

"yes!"

"Woof woof woof!"

The dog in the cage kept barking and bared its teeth at the police outside the cage.

"Conan, wasn't John sent to the prosecutor's office? Why is he back again?"

Among the several children, one of the little girls in red clothes said softly.

"Well, dogs will have a certain amount of anxiety after entering a new environment."

Conan, a little boy wearing a blue children's outfit and a bow, nodded.

"I heard that after John arrived at the prosecutor's office, he kept barking day and night. The staff on duty there couldn't stand it anymore, so they had to put it back temporarily."

"This is so pitiful!"

"That's right, it's so pitiful to be used by a master like that to kill someone!"

"How could such a kind-hearted John kill someone? It's so abominable!"

"It didn't take John's mood into consideration at all!"

The little girl and two other children, one thin and one fat, showed sympathetic expressions and strongly condemned the dog's owner, Masayoshi Sakaguchi.

At this time, a sharp and mocking voice came from the side.

"You arbitrarily add a cheap sense of justice to animals without any thought, improve their personality for no reason, and then criticize your own kind. Isn't that what you are abominable?"
