Conan's Victory is Justice

Chapter 5 You ask Conan to pet the dog, Conan invites you to go to jail

The conversation between Gu Meimen and Sakaguchi continued until noon.

Before leaving, Gu Meimen remembered something and asked suddenly.

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

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

"Oh, is there a possibility." Gu Meimen said, "In fact, your order did not achieve specific results. Maehara just stumbled and fell down the stairs when he was playing with your dog?"

"what?"

Sakaguchi didn't react for a while.

"After all, you were not there." Gu Meimen shrugged.

Many people will think that they are criminals after committing a crime, but maybe the truth is not like that.

The crime rate in this world is so high. During his judicial training and internship, he read various files and saw many such examples.

After all, it is a real world, and the original book is just a reasoning comic, which has many loopholes. What happened in the real world may not be what was written in the original book, and the original book cannot be used as a basis.

After obtaining all the information that 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 go to Sakaguchi's house, which is the scene of the murder case, to conduct on-the-spot investigations to obtain first-hand information and prepare for the subsequent court debate.

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

On the way, Gu Meimen took out a smartphone from her pocket——

Regarding the level of technology in this world, taking the civilian computer PC as an example, it has reached the level of the thirteenth generation of Intel processors.

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

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

So it is often seen on the street that someone is using a "big brother", someone is using a "flip phone", and someone is using a "smart phone".

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

Gu Meimen dialed a series of numbers with her smartphone.

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

"It's hard to sleep late on vacation, who is it?"

Gu Meimen tried to use a patient tone: "Hello, is this Ms. Sugita Sanae? I am the defense lawyer of Sakaguchi Masayoshi."

"Lawyer? What can I do for you?"

"Do you have time now? Is it convenient to come out and meet? I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Oh, that's right." The tone on the other side of the phone changed immediately, "Of course you can if you want to see me, just prepare the labor fee of [-] yuan."

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

These are the information given by Sakaguchi, including this phone number.

Perhaps because of hatred, before the murder, he investigated a lot about Maehara Gang.

For Sugita Sanae's request, Gu Meimen did not hesitate at all, and agreed wholeheartedly.

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

Anyway, he doesn't need to pay for the money. These additional costs are included in the lawyer's miscellaneous fees other than the 100 million commission fee, and they can be reimbursed by Sakaguchi later. This is clearly stated in the contract signed by the two before.

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

"Mr. Lawyer, you are so generous~ Can you make an appointment for a time and a place?"

"How about a Boston Italian restaurant near Mihuacho Station at five in the afternoon?"

"Okay, I must put on beautiful makeup~ See you soon!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Meimen took out her wallet and counted the banknotes in it.

Funds are still abundant. Although it cost him a lot of money to get a lawyer's license, fortunately, he was paid 18 yuan a month during his internship at the judicial training institute. Now he still has 10,000+ in his wallet, which is completely enough for this lawsuit. Finish the previous overhead.

After making an appointment with the witness, Gu Meimen took the subway, subway, and bus to the house where Masayoshi Sakaguchi lived in Mihua Town without stopping.

From the first sight, this is a very big house, which is a common 2+1-story single-family building in Japan, but it is much bigger.

Open the gate with the key given by Masayoshi Sakaguchi. There is also 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 are no dogs living in it.

Before the judicial trial is completed, all the evidence will be handed over to the prosecutor's office. The dog named John who attacked the person will of course 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 after entering.

The living room has a large area, the ceiling goes straight to the second floor, and 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 consists of two sections, and on the ground of the turning platform, there is still the outline of the corpse outlined with 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, which proves that the cause of death of the deceased was indeed that the neck hit the wall and broke off.

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 on the right side of the wall. There is a sign of "Masato" on the door, which means that this is the room of Sakaguchi's deceased son——

The dog named John also stood on this platform every night to greet its owner.

Gu Meimen stood on this platform and measured its area with open arms.

This platform is quite large.

From the door of the gentleman's room to the stairs, there are several steps away.

If, as Sakaguchi said, he was able to throw Maehara down the stairs accurately by training the dog, then Maehara would have been too careless and unlucky.

After the inspection, Gu Meimen took out a document from her bag.

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

In criminal proceedings, defense lawyers have the right to obtain, consult, extract, and copy such interrogation materials that are controlled by administrative units.

"Well……"

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

With regard to how to argue in court, after field visits, he has gradually come up with some ideas.

"Dangdang!"

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

From the window of the corridor, Gu Meimen saw a few policemen outside, carrying a cage with a dog, beside them were two men and women in the uniform of the prosecutor's office, and several children watching.

"Hurry up, there is still work to do when I go back!"

"Yes!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The dog in the cage kept barking and grinning at the policeman outside the cage.

"Conan, wasn't John sent to the procuratorate? Why did he come back?"

Among several children, a little girl in red clothes whispered.

"Well, after a dog enters a new environment, it will have a certain amount of anxiety."

A little boy in blue children's clothes with a bow, Conan nodded.

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

"That's it, how pitiful!"

"That's right, it's so pitiful to be used by such a master to kill people!"

"How can such a kind John be allowed to kill people! It's really disgusting!"

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

The little girl, as well as 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.

"Arbitrarily adding a cheap sense of justice to animals without any thoughts, elevating their personality for no reason, and then criticizing their own kind, are you hateful?"
