Chapter 189 Public Opinion
—————May 5, 8:30 a.m.——————
—————Shikoku area, lavender villa——————
Carrying a worn-out backpack, Onuki Zenzo and Koshimizu Nanatsuki stood at the entrance of the blockade of the Lavender Villa.
His expression was very unfriendly, and just standing there gave people the feeling that "this guy is ridiculously strong."
Those criminals from the four countries went in and out of the villa in their sight.
However, if you just pretend, you will definitely not get any reliable clues.
Otherwise, Yoshizo Oonuki should be sitting in the courtroom's gallery or defense seat now.
Instead of standing here at the blockade, waiting for the criminal police from the Shikoku region to come!
"Lawyer Ohnuki, is it really useful to wait like this?"
As always, Nanatsuki Koshimizu was wearing headphones and sunglasses, looking nonchalant.
In reality, this was just a way for her to disguise herself and prevent others from seeing what she was thinking.
This is not only effective in conversations and debates, but also helpful when reasoning and collecting evidence.
She seemed to be listening to music, but her eyes behind her sunglasses were constantly watching the situation in the Lavender Villa.
(If Xiang Yuan was here, he would have already entered the Lavender Villa and started collecting evidence.)
(I hope Chana can hold on until this strategy succeeds...if she can let the assigned lawyer defend her.)
(Then this lawsuit is completely a failure...)
The girl detective's memory goes back to her experience on Moon Shadow Island.
The prosecutor named Guiyue Liuyun suddenly appeared.
With his extremely fast and precise fighting style, he once forced Xiang Yuanguang into a desperate situation.
If it weren't for the fact that the presiding judge of the Tokyo District Court was relatively fair.
I'm afraid that even a top lawyer like Xiang Yuanguang could be taken away by Guiyue Liuyun.
The lawyer next to him, Oonuki Zenzo, is quite capable, but he is still a little behind Kumimon and Mukaiguchi...
Facing Prosecutor Guiyue Liuyun in his home turf, is there really a chance to win?
(Defense is not my strong point, and I would not be able to stand in the defense seat without the lawyer's medal.)
(There is no other way now, I can only trust lawyer Yoshizo Oonuki...)
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
The sound of footsteps came from far away.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki's eyes regained focus and she looked at the person who was coming.
Walking in front was a young man who looked very strong and had a resolute face.
How should I put it, he looks muscular, like a gorilla.
According to the relevant information we learned yesterday, the name of this male detective is Osamu Akasawa.
Inspector of the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Department of the Shikoku Local Police Headquarters.
The petite, expressionless female detective next to Akazawa Osamu is Aoki Chinatsu.
Her relationship with Akazawa is the same as the relationship between Takagi and Inspector Megure.
Every time a job is done, other criminals are randomly refreshed, but these two are fixedly refreshed.
"It's you again, Lawyer Oonuki. What happened this time?"
"Same as before, I've said before, you are not the lawyer hired by the suspect."
"You have no right to enter the crime scene to search for evidence. Can you please go back?"
Akazawa Shuhiro leaned against the blockade, sighed, and said impatiently.
The female detective next to her was standing next to the cordon and adjusted her hat which was tilted by the cordon.
Faced with this set of rhetoric, Yoshizo Oonuki put down the backpack on his back and then took out a roll of newspaper.
Then, he unfolded the newspaper in front of Akasawa Osamu and showed him the contents.
"I advise you to think carefully. If the Lavender Villa incident is published in the newspaper, it will be disadvantageous to you!"
"It's written there, right? The police arrested Kana Mizuguchi, the maid at Lavender Villa, without any evidence."
"They also prohibited Kana Mizuguchi from contacting the outside world and even prevented her from hiring a lawyer."
"…This is just a draft of the newspaper. It has not been officially released yet. Do you understand what I mean?"
Oonuki Zenzo's words made Akazawa Osamu's face twitch.
The police chief from the Shikoku region's expression darkened instantly, and he reached out and snatched the newspaper from Yoshizo Oonuki.
However, before Inspector Akasawa could do anything, Oonuki Zenzo spoke without hesitation.
"This is just a draft. The one you have is just one of them. You can tear it up." "But after you tear it up, I will make sure that this matter will also appear in the newspaper."
"Haha, I know that the police in your Shikoku region will do whatever it takes, but, this kind of thing..."
"We can't put it in the sun for everyone to see, right?"
There is no doubt that this is a threat, a threat to the police of the four countries.
Unlike lawyers like Genmi Mitsuki and Eri Kisaki who are used to deciding cases in court.
Lawyers like Kumimon and Yoshizo Oonuki, who walk on the edge of the law, tend to be more realistic.
The former is admirable, while the latter is feared.
"...I have collected your information. Why are you pretending to be righteous and noble here?"
Akasawa Shuhiro sneered and threw the newspaper in his hand to Aoki Chinatsu beside him.
"More than once, you have helped local residents extort large companies for high compensation."
"The reputation of the so-called human rights faction is also gained by relying on such shameful propaganda and means of expanding influence."
"Let me tell you... the police are not afraid of you publishing the news because we have already obtained the evidence."
“[Conclusive] evidence.”
This method may be useful for fooling novice lawyers like Souji Nakano and Machiko Dai.
To cheat an old lawyer like Zenzo Ohnuki, whose lawyer medal has faded? Impossible.
I saw Oonuki Zenzo sneer and said.
"Okay, then you can give it a try. Let's see whether it's your police headquarters that will bow down, or public opinion!"
"I tell you, I am fighting for the interests of the common people, for justice, to fight these big companies."
"And you guys are doing this for your own salary assessment, for your win rate and your case solving rate!"
"Kid, I've dealt with more cases than you've ever seen. Just wait and see if you refuse me!"
The old lawyer turned around and left without saying a word.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu next to him was a little surprised and confused, but still turned around and followed the old lawyer.
Tick, tick, tick.
Seeing the two people walking further and further away, Chinatsu Aoki whispered beside them.
"Guiyue Prosecutor doesn't want any negative news about him at the moment, even the beginning of it."
"There's no need to refuse. This is a winnable lawsuit. They can't find any evidence to prove that Mizuguchi Kana is innocent."
Akasawa Shuhiro hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
He shouted loudly to stop Zenzo Oonuki.
"Hey, Ohnuki Zenzo, wait a minute!"
"I agree that you can go to the police station and meet with the suspect Mizuguchi Kana!"
"When you get to the police station, tell them that I agreed, and they will let you go to the interrogation room!"
Oonuki Zenzo paused for a moment, but finally left without looking back.
On the way to the police station, Nanatsuki Koshimizu was wondering why public opinion could make Inspector Akazawa bow his head.
Because if the other party has decisive evidence, then they don't have to fear public opinion at all.
Once the truth is revealed after the trial, all lies will be self-defeating.
"After Guiyue Liuyun was transferred back from Tokyo, he was determined to move up."
"Other lawsuits don't matter, but his lawsuit cannot generate negative public opinion, otherwise it will affect his reputation."
The old lawyer seemed to know what Nanatsuki Koshimizu was thinking, and he explained casually.
"The next step is the highlight. Whether it will succeed or not depends on whether we can get anything from Mizuguchi Kana..."
"What useful information and intelligence can I get?"
