Chapter 114 Reversal of Illumination
Chapter 114 Reversal of Illumination (14)
On the other hand, let’s not talk about the private conversation between Yuan Guang and Uncle Maori.
Gu Meimen didn't care about this, he only cared about whether he could win the lawsuit.
Since Kaga Ranmaru asked him to defend him, he must let Kaga Ranmaru go out of prison without guilt.
As for... is Sanyuan Shunzhi the murderer? Is it important?
It doesn't matter. A lawyer's duty is to serve his client.
What about justice? Public morality? That's just nonsense.
Gu Meimen turned lightly and came to the front of the testimony stand, facing Sanyuan Shunji.
Lawyers are not gods. They don’t even know who the real murderer is, so what justice can they talk about?
Do you think that people who are criminals are criminals? Could there be other reasons?
Or are they simply fighting for the so-called empty justice? Or are they even lamenting afterwards that they didn't do well enough?
(Those so-called human rights advocates who claim to be righteous and stand in opposition to mainstream lawyers are really ridiculous.)
(Defense is naturally defense, and finding the real murderer is the job of the police and prosecutors.)
(The lawyer only needs to do what the client wants, whether to acquit or reduce the sentence, and nothing else matters.)
(In the court of justice --- victory is justice!!!)
Gu Meimen spoke easily and greeted Sanyuan Shunji.
"Long time no see, do you still remember me, Mr. Sanyuan?"
"I still remember the time when you helped President Shimazu carry the box and gave him 30 million yen without hesitation."
"I didn't expect that just a few days later, we would be standing face to face in the courtroom."
"It's really unpredictable."
An ordinary middle-aged office worker in a suit who looks like nothing special.
Sanyuan Shunji stared into Gu Meimen's eyes, his expression was unusually unfriendly.
As the secretary of Shimadzu Corporation, it was his idea to hire Kumimon to fight the lighting rights lawsuit.
At that time, I felt that Gu Meimen would do everything possible and would definitely be able to solve the problems caused by the neighborhood committee.
Unexpectedly, now that the neighborhood committee failed to resolve the problem, Gu Meimen had to resolve it.
"You were the one who spread the public opinion, weren't you? Humph, Kumimon, your behavior is really disgusting."
"No wonder your colleagues say you are a complete black lawyer."
"Are you willing to make any money you can, even if it means backstabbing your former employer?!"
There was a smile on Gu Meimen's face, and he was not at all panicked by Sanyuan Shunji's questioning.
He just took out the letter of authorization from his pocket and showed the name to Sanyuan Shunji.
"This is the letter of authorization when I accepted the right of illumination. The client is Mr. Shimazu Zangyuan."
"And the other one is the letter of authorization from my current client, Mr. Kaga Ranmaru."
"One of these two is my former employer, and the other is my good friend."
"Now, one is the deceased and the other is a criminal suspect."
"Excuse me, Mr. Sanyuan, should I defend them? Seek justice for them?"
Sanyuan Shunji finally snorted coldly and decided not to argue with this guy Gu Meimen.
And Gu Meimen's smile became even more proud, happy that his quarreling skills had improved.
Then he turned around and spoke to the presiding judge.
"My client, Kaga Ranmaru, mentioned this before in his special testimony while in the detention center."
"When he and Yamada Isamu arrived at the top floor corridor, Mr. Sanyuan Shunji was standing outside the office door."
"Mr. Sanyuan Shunji was on the phone at the time and walked away from them in a hurry."
"So, I would like to ask Mr. Sanyuan Shunji to testify in this regard."
"What do you think, Your Honor?"
The presiding judge was a little flattered to be addressed with honorifics.
He nodded, then banged the gavel.
"Then please ask Mr. Sanyuan Shunji, the witness in this case, to testify about the situation presented by Gu Meimen."
"…to testify? What about me? What about me?"
Before Sanyuan Shunji could speak, Prosecutor Sugiura at the prosecutor's seat spoke first.
He angrily pulled off his wig and slammed it on the table.
Then, Prosecutor Sugiura pointed at Kumimon and shouted, "Where do you think this is? This is the courtroom, not your villa."
"How can we allow you to confuse right and wrong under the scales of judgment?"
"You want Sanyuan Shunji to testify. Have you asked me, the prosecutor? Hmm?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Prosecutor Sugiura's momentum began to surge, grow wildly, and become more and more dominant.
How could an ordinary lawyer contend against such a powerful prosecutor with such a strong aura?
Even Xiaolan in the audience sat up straight and serious, ready to watch the prosecutor's performance.
She actually didn't attend many court trials.
And there were only four prosecutors I met.
They are prosecutor Kuma Sukawa, who appears to be mediocre but is actually a very skilled martial arts master.
Prosecutor Gold, a Frankenstein who possesses unlimited coffee making skills and whose real body is suspected to be Xiang Yuanguang, but who appeared at the same time as Xiang Yuanguang.
Prosecutor Guiyue Liuyun looks very fierce and fights very fiercely. Once he starts fighting, he goes directly for the defense. He is a shrewd and cunning villain.
Finally, there is Prosecutor Reiko Kujo, a beautiful prosecutor with a very good attitude. Even when faced with many objections and strong winds, she can still speak calmly and is not obsessed with the defendant's guilt.
So, what is the current situation of Prosecutor Sugiura, who previously performed poorly and is suspected of exploding now?
In the corner, Kogoro Mori and Genmitsu Mukai were looking through the evidence book that they had picked up earlier.
Although Maori Kogoro's reasoning is not very good, but the evidence collection is——————
Haha, he is no good either. He feels dizzy just looking at the account book.
At this moment, the voice of Prosecutor Sugiura also reached the ears of the two people who were busy flipping through the account books.
Kogoro Mouri looked up in confusion, and was startled when he saw Prosecutor Sugiura's hair suddenly becoming thinner.
"Xiang Yuan kid, why is Prosecutor Sugiura's hair gone?"
"Gone? Huh? Uh, did I blow it away accidentally?"
Xiang Yuanguang was shocked. He looked up and found that it was only Prosecutor Sugiura who took off his wig.
He immediately lowered his head in boredom and continued to flip through the account book, showing no interest in what Prosecutor Sugiura would do next.
"Little ghost, that's your opponent. Now he's going to attack. Aren't you nervous?"
Uncle Maori was a little curious, but he saw Xiang Yuanguang shaking his head and heard the hedgehog-headed man's response.
"This is not surprising. We will talk about it later."
At this moment, the whole place was silent.
Everyone was waiting for Prosecutor Sugiura to speak.
However, Kumimon is not afraid of Prosecutor Sugiura at all, because he has defeated this prosecutor countless times.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, Gu Meimen walked step by step to the prosecutor's desk.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot about you. After all, your presence is so low that even the automatic sensor door can't detect you. This is inevitable. Now let me ask you, do you agree to Sanyuan Shunzhi testifying?"
The language was extremely arrogant, and combined with Sugiura's aura, it made people think that a fierce fight was about to break out.
Then, Prosecutor Sugiura spoke aggressively and righteously.
"I agree!"
"what?"
Kogoro Mouri in the corner exclaimed in surprise. He had been waiting for such a long time and this was the only noise he heard?
There was a lot of thunder but little rain, and I didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion.
Humph, there is nothing in this court that can excite me, the famous detective Mouri Kogoro!
"Uncle Maori, I saw that the commission amount written on the last page of the account book is five million."
"You really took that much?"
Xiang Yuanguang gritted his teeth and spoke out word by word.
Between the lines one can see the resentment and anger in the plain-faced lawyer's heart.
However, Kogoro Mori was even more angry than Mitsuko Mukai.
"How is it possible? The commission is only 800,000? Who took the kickback from the commission that President Shimazu gave me?!"
"Let me find out who took the kickbacks from my commission. I will give him 100 shoulder throws! Let him know my judo strength, Kogoro Mori!"
