Tokyo Literary Godfather

The protagonist of "Victory is Justice", Komemon Kensuke, is a lawyer with a 100% winning rate...

When he saw this sentence, Takeda Toru smiled, it must be nonsense. A 100% winning rate... is only possible to maintain unless you have only fought single-digit cases.

The Japanese prosecutors, who are invincible in the world, have a winning rate of only 99%.

"But looking at the style of this drama...it's also the kind of comedy drama that's not too serious. It's probably a comedy disguised as a legal drama. There's no need to worry too much about authenticity." Takeda Toru muttered.

Coincidentally, the first case that appeared in the play was a lawsuit with the prosecutor's office.

"A lawyer with a 100% winning rate meets a prosecutor's office with a 99% winning rate...who will win..."

At this time, the fried noodles were served, and Takeda Toru broke open his chopsticks and started eating.

The innocent and kind trainee lawyer Dai Machiko (played by Aoi Kono) is a person who believes that the duty of the law is to uphold fairness and justice, and she took over a murder case.

The deceased in the case was a gas station employee, and the biggest suspect was his subordinate who had been insulted and even threatened to be fired.

The police arrested the suspect, and after a severe interrogation by the police, he admitted to the murder. The defendant also almost lost his fighting spirit and did not want to commit crimes.

It seems that there is no need for lawyers to intervene in cases where even the parties have given up. The boss also persuaded Dai Zhenzhizi to give up the case, but Dai Zhenzhizi did not give up with the sense of justice in his heart.

She believed that the defendant was wronged and only confessed after being brutally interrogated by the police. Under the reminder of others, Dai Zhenzhizi learned that there was an invincible lawyer, so he planned to seek the help of that lawyer.

However, it is impossible for Gu Meimen Kensuke to help the poor who have no money to file a lawsuit. He offered a high price of 30 million yen as legal fees. In order to help innocent young people in prison, Dai Zhenzhizi mortgaged the land of her hometown and poured 30 million yuan in front of Gu Meimen Kensuke.

"What a passionate person..." Toru Takeda said with emotion. In fact, many lawyers were Machiko Dai when they first entered the profession, but later they gradually became Kensuke Komemon.

Seeing this, Toru Takeda looked at the TV on the other side. By coincidence, the protagonist of "The Pioneer Lawyer" also defended a suspect in a murder case and litigated with the prosecutor's office.

The protagonist of "Pioneering Lawyer" is a persistent and passionate person, which is more in line with the traditional protagonist image, and the way he helps the defendant get rid of his identity as a murderer is to find the real murderer.

In "Victory Is Justice", the protagonist helps his client clear his name in a much simpler way: he first calls the media to accuse the police of violently extorting a confession, which turns public opinion towards the defendant, and then runs to the park where the crime occurred. Using the method of inducing hints to make the boss "remember" that the defendant had been drinking coffee in the park on the day of the incident...

Don't you want to find the real culprit? But really try to find a way to get rid of your own client, it's the police's business to find the real culprit...

Takeda Toru suddenly realized at this time, yes, isn't this how criminal cases are done in reality? Damn, I have watched so many legal dramas that I almost forgot that it is the responsibility of the police to find the murderer, not the lawyer.

In this way, it seems to have no formality, and the gag "Victory is Justice" is closer to reality...

The protagonists of the two dramas "Justice Is Victory" and "The Pioneer Lawyer" will spend the next time trying their best to prove that their clients are innocent.

However, the behavioral logic of the two is fundamentally different. The protagonist in "Pioneering Lawyer" tries every means to find the truth and restore the client's innocence; while Kensuke Komemon in "Victory is Justice" does not consider the truth at all. , but desperately looking for loopholes in the police interrogation.

The police did have many laxities in the case handling process. In the end, in the court, the experienced veteran police officer yelled at Gu Meimen under questioning and accusations: "Such an obvious crime. ! You can see it at a glance!”

And this basically announced the failure of the police. In the end, the court verdict came down and the defendant was declared innocent. Dai Zhenzhi ran to the gate of the court excitedly and declared victory to the media friends who were concerned about the case. His eyes filled with tears.

As for "Pioneering Lawyer", the protagonist finally found key evidence to prove the defendant's innocence. It turned out that the deceased was terminally ill, but hated the defendant deeply, so he planned to use his own death to drag the defendant into hell—isn't this the way of a mystery drama?

On the side of "Victory is Justice", although Kensuke Gu Meimen defeated the old policeman in court and helped the defendant to be cleared of the crime, but at this moment, someone in the restaurant began to ask in a low voice: "Aren't you looking for the murderer?"

Other viewers shared these doubts. Yes, after all, a person did die. Who is the murderer if he is not the defendant? As a lawyer, you help your client clear his grievances but don't find the real murderer. Isn't this irresponsible?

Hearing this, Toru Takeda smiled helplessly. It seems that the public really misunderstood lawyers... It's all caused by legal dramas, making people think that lawyers are really responsible for solving cases.

But he couldn't help but feel a little bit drummed in his heart, because this is a TV series after all, and there was a murder case, but he didn't reveal the identity of the real murderer. Isn't this intentional to make people feel uncomfortable?

However, at this moment, "Justice is Victory" had a high-energy reversal——

At the door of the court, the defendant expressed his gratitude to Machiko Dai, while the old policeman stood looking at the two from a distance, looked at the defendant deeply with eyes that looked like trash, and then turned and left.

The defendant looked at the old policeman's back with a smile on his face, and then whispered: "Next... I'll kill you."

The plot was still being discussed in the restaurant, and the doubts about the protagonist not catching the real murderer disappeared instantly. Two seconds later, several diners made sounds of realization.

"It turns out that this guy really killed him!"

"Then wouldn't Kono-chan become an accomplice?"

Takeda Tetsuya was surprised by this reversal, but soon, on the TV screen, the defendant turned around and smiled at Dai Machiko: "I was joking." He ran away casually.

And Machiko Dai showed a confused expression. Yes, why did she firmly believe that this child must be innocent from the beginning? Is it just because he cried in front of her?

Although the trial of the suspect is indeed based on the presumption of innocence, when Machiko Dai met the defendant, the defendant had already admitted that he had committed the murder. It was obviously inappropriate to impose a presumption of innocence at this time.

Just because I feel the suspect is pitiful, I think he must be innocent, and even overturn the existing confession... To a certain extent, Machiko Dai and the old police officer are the same, they both use intuition to solve the case.

And the intuition of an experienced police officer is definitely much more accurate than that of a rookie lawyer.

At this time, Komemon Kensuke came over, and Dai Machiko asked Komemon, was he really innocent? Gu Meimen said, however, that whether he killed someone or not has nothing to do with him. The prosecutor's office had insufficient evidence, so he had to be released. It was as simple as that. This is the law.

"Then what's the truth?" Dai Machiko asked.

"Don't be too narcissistic, we are lawyers, not gods." Gu Meimen replied.

"We are lawyers, not gods..." Takeda Toru silently read this sentence.

As for who the murderer is, there is no answer given in the play, and it is not clearly stated in the play whether the young man is the murderer.

The first case of "Victory is Justice" ended in such an atmosphere full of regret, but also weird and absurd. On the side of "Pioneer Lawyer", the protagonist opened champagne with his colleagues in the firm because he successfully solved the case.

This is actually a very common development in legal dramas, but comparing the "pioneer lawyer" who found the truth with Kensuke Gumeimen who didn't find the truth, for some reason, they seem much shallower.

"In such a comparison, it seems that "Victory is Justice" is better." Takeda Toru whispered again.
