Conan's Victory is Justice

Chapter 18 Gumeimen Law Firm and the Second Lawsuit
On the way back, Gu Meimen witnessed two robberies and one theft, both active crimes.

Another time the prisoner went to rob the bank in a daze, but was subdued by the security system inside.

Gu Meimen encounters such current crimes several times when he travels every day.

The prisoners, without exception, have negative favorability.

I can't help but rejoice that I am very witty, and this experience has come up.

All the way back to the rental house without any danger.

In the evening, after dinner, Gu Meimen took out a blank piece of paper and wrote and drew on it.

His life plan after arrangement.

150 million to eat, drink and have fun, that's what only a fool who got his head kicked by a donkey would do.

A lawyer after debut, with a little spare money, what should he do first?
Open your own law firm, of course.

Lawyers who have just debuted are at best the kind of casual lawyers who need to go out every day to solicit clients and business. However, most people will ignore you when they see that you don’t even have an office and you don’t have much reputation. The final result , you can only accept public commissions from lawyers.

The income from the public entrustment is pitifully small, it is completely charity, and the client is all kinds of troublesome, just like I just met Masayoshi Sakaguchi before, in Gu Meimen's view, this kind of entrustment is garbage in the trash can.

Or lawyers can also work under other people's law firms.

But with Gu Meimen's character, unless he meets a wise man who takes a fancy to his talent, he may quarrel with the boss on the first day of work, and then he will be thrown into the cold palace directly and will not give you any entrustment.

Therefore, opening a law firm of her own is Gu Meimen's first priority.

The next day, Gu Meimen went out early and visited various housing agencies.

Finally, I found a nice office in an office building in a commercial street in Shibuya, Tokyo.

The minimum rent is half a year, about [-] square meters, complete with desks and chairs, sofas and bookcases. The key is that the monthly rent is only [-] yen.

Shibuya District is a large district in Tokyo, located in the central area, with a huge flow of people and thriving commercial activities. There are department stores, fashion stores, restaurants, entertainment facilities, and folk facilities densely packed like a cloud. It is the same as Shinjuku. Listed as a "24-hour sleepless street" urban area.

Why is rent so cheap?
Of course it's because someone died.

I heard that the predecessor in the office was also a lawyer, had a little dispute with the client, and was smothered to death in the toilet by the client.

How miserable.

After renting the office, it is time to bring the documents and go to the registered law firm.

There is no such department as the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in Japan. To register a company, you have to go to the corresponding Legal Affairs Bureau to determine the legal representative, make the company seal, and establish the company name.

The name of the firm is, of course, Gu Meimen Law Firm.

It took Gu Meimen about ten days to finish all these things.

Last but not least, hire an assistant.

A lawyer is a clerical job, and it is impossible to have no assistants. He has to deal with a lot of documents and come into contact with a lot of written materials.

However, with Gu Meimen's current financial resources, it is still not enough to recruit employees.

Just renting a house and registering a company has already spent more than half of the 150 million.

This matter can only be shelved temporarily.

After finishing the company's work, the next step is to consider the source of customers.

It is more difficult for clients. There are so many law firms in Tokyo, and the competition is huge. The famous and not well-known all join together. Unless you have certain connections, you can only be honest and accept public entrustments to accumulate fame.

After a week, there were a few clients who came to the door, but they were all trivial civil lawsuits, and the entrustment fees that could be charged were even more rubbish than public entrustments.

Gu Meimen's only current contact is the client of the first lawsuit, Masayoshi Sakaguchi.

"no solution anymore."

Gu Meimen took out her mobile phone and called Sakaguchi.

Although it was a one-time client, Sakaguchi was a lawyer anyway, and he might have some good clients accumulated over there.

"Dululu~"

After a burst of retro ringtones, the phone was connected, and Sakaguchi's voice came.

"Hey, who is it?"

"I'm Gu Meimen, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"So it's Lawyer Gu Meimen, what's the matter?"

"Is such that……"

Gu Meimen briefly talked to him on the phone.

"Don't worry, if there is an entrustment, I will draw a certain amount of entrustment fee to you, as an intermediary fee for your introduction."

"I see."

Sakaguchi probably understood Gu Meimen's intentions.

After a pause, he spoke over there.

"Lawyer Gu Meimen is polite. I do have some remaining commissions, but they are basically handled by young people. Are you sure you are competent?"

"let it go."

Gu Meimen shook her head and was about to hang up the phone.

Juvenile handling of cases is not his thing. In Gu Meimen's view, Japanese elementary and middle school students are the most troublesome. They are simple-minded and have shallow concepts. Asses in heat, teenagers are a bunch of chumps in a nutshell.

If you really file a lawsuit against them, maybe you will become a pig teammate, run to the opposite side, and hit nine in the end.

"Lawyer Gu Meimen, wait a minute."

Just when Gu Meimen was about to hang up the phone, Sakaguchi stopped him suddenly.

"Although I'm dealing with juvenile cases here, an old friend asked me to file a lawsuit for him a while ago, although I refused."

"Oh? What lawsuit?"

"On this point, let's meet and discuss in detail."

"Okay, make an appointment?"

"Well, Mihuacho [-]-chome, how about the Poro Cafe?"

Gu Meimen frowned slightly, the name seemed familiar.

However, in order to receive the job as soon as possible, he did not think too much, so he agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Meimen prepared and left immediately.

After traveling by train for a while, I came to Mihua Town again.

After the last lawsuit, I have been here dozens of times. Gu Meimen can be regarded as an old rice flower. After asking for directions, she found her destination easily.

It is a three-story building.

The signboard outside the door, the first floor says Polo Cafe, the second floor...

Gu Meimen wiped her eyes.

"Fuck! Maori Detective Agency?!"

Gu Meimen, who almost never swears, finally couldn't help but swear.

Let’s just say that the name of the coffee shop sounds familiar, and it turns out that it’s right under the Maori Detective Agency!
"It's you!"

A girl's surprised voice came from beside her ear.

Gu Mei turned her head expressionlessly.

I saw a girl in a JK uniform with an unknown bump on her head covering her mouth and looking at herself in surprise.

Mao Lilan, the only daughter of Mori Kogoro, they met on the subway before.
