Conan's Victory is Justice

Chapter 157 Civil Litigation, Novel Plagiarism Case
Xiao Ai said word by word.

Gu Meimen quietly looked into the girl's big blue eyes.

After a while, I laughed.

"You're a quick learner. You've mastered all the knowledge I just taught you so quickly, and you've learned to infer other things from one instance. I think you can publish a book called "The Study of Ancient Beauty Gate" to analyze me specifically. characteristics."

"Actually, you can trust me." Xiao Ai said lightly, "After all, I am yours now."

Gu Meimen raised her eyebrows: "Don't be so ambiguous when you talk, you are my person, I only think of you as my employee."

"Oh?"

The corners of Xiao Ai's mouth slightly curled up.

"Before, that guy who was so handsome, said that you were my man, Gu Meimen, who wanted to be a cow and a horse for the rest of my life, could it be that my memory is messed up?"

Gu Meimen rolled her eyes: "That's what I said casually."

"Even if you don't admit it, I will haunt you for the rest of my life."

"Come on, don't engage in that kind of Japanese light novel drama, okay?"

"Gumeimen Oni Sauce~"

"...I'm going to throw up, don't call me so disgusting."

"Don't you just eat this set?"

"Pull it down, just your little tablet, on the cover and illustrations of Japanese light novels, readers will clamor for a refund after reading it."

"Really? Oni-chan~"

"Come on, are you still here?"

"I just like seeing your expression."

The girl chuckled.

Having been with Gu Meimen for a long time, the relationship between the two is much closer than before.

Teasing each other, making complaints about each other, and even making some unscrupulous jokes are all casual.

However, Xiao Ai also knows that Gu Meimen seldom reveals her true feelings to other people.

Of course, in this respect, she is the same.

Both are the same type, and it is because of this that they have been able to go so far.

However, everyday life like this is always so short.

The two sides joked for a while, when a bell rang at the door.

When the business came, Gu Meimen stopped immediately and tidied up the messy room.

Then, he told Xiao Ai to open the door.

The door opened, and a young man in his 20s stood outside.

The young man looks ordinary, with a checked shirt and jeans, a pair of glasses on his face, and a satchel on his back.

Gu Meimen glanced at the standard Japanese otaku suit.

It's really strange that an otaku comes to entrust you.

"My name is Takuya Kimura."

The otaku first introduced himself.

"Takuya Kimura's Kimura?" Xiao Ai asked.

"Yes, but of course I'm not as famous as he is."

Kimura smiled wryly, "I'm just an otaku novelist now, and I'm still an unpromising writer."

"That's it."

Gu Meimen nodded, then got up.

"Xiao Ai, see off the guests."

"..."

"……what?"

Kimura sat on the sofa blankly, pushed his glasses, and didn't react for a while.

"Hey, do you want to listen to the entrustment?" Xiao Ai said speechlessly.

"What is there to say?" Gu Meimen waved her hand, "This guy must not be able to pay the commission fee, so why am I wasting my time?"

"It's not good for you to be like this all the time? Didn't you say that customers are gods?"

Gu Meimen disapproved: "You have to give enough money to be called God. This type of customer usually has less money and more shit. If you charge him tens of thousands, tens of thousands, and a few cents, you will treat yourself as a master." Now, you let me get used to him?"

"..."

Xiao Ai twitched the corners of her mouth.

Gu Meimen really has the word snobbery written all over her face.

And even said it in front of other customers, this is no one.

"Then what, I can sign a risk agency agreement..."

Kimura on the side interrupted and raised his hand weakly.

Gu Meimen turned her head and looked him up and down: "Do you know the risk agent?"

"Of course, the risk agency is to pay the lawyer's agency fee only after winning the lawsuit, and it can only be used in civil litigation." Kimura said.

"Yes, as expected of a novelist."

Gu Meimen nodded.

If ordinary people do not have a special understanding of the lawyer industry, they will not know some professional terms in it.

Gu Meimen continued to ask: "Then, the person you want to sue must be very rich?"

Kimura nodded and said, "It should be considered rich. The other party is a great writer. I want to sue him for plagiarizing my book."

"Mr. Kimura, please sit down, Xiao Ai, let's have some tea!"

Gu Meimen immediately regained her spirits, and immediately ordered Xiao Ai to make tea to meet the guests.

Xiao Ai rolled her eyes, her face changed really quickly.

After the tea was brewed, Kimura began to speak out what he wanted to entrust.

"It's like this, I serialized a novel on Yuankong Library..."

Kimura is a professional writer.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a writer than a writer.

His daily job is to serialize novels on the Internet.

Some time ago, he opened a new book called "The Wandering Cihuamao".

This book belongs to the street work, not very popular.

At the beginning, Kimura didn't care about his grades, thinking that it didn't matter, as long as he could eat a living.

However, not long after, a book with the same theme appeared on another novel website called Qingkong Bunku.

The writing of this book is very similar to his book.

Unlike his book, that book was written by a great writer and was very popular.

After Kimura read it, he thought that the writer plagiarized his book.

"In other words, this is a typical copyright lawsuit, a novel plagiarism case."

Gu Meimen is getting more and more energetic.

Civil lawsuits related to copyright, generally speaking, have a lot of money to be made.

This kind of case is very popular, and if you grab it, you will make money.

"Very well, tell me the name of the writer who plagiarized you, and the title of his book."

Gu Meimen immediately ordered Xiao Ai to take notes.

Kimura nodded: "The title of that book is "The Adventures of the Shield Black Cat", and the author's name is Daisuke Torakura."

"Ok?"

Gu Meimen raised her eyebrows.

The title of the book and the author's name are a bit familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere.

After thinking about it carefully, there are some vague memories in my mind.

Daisuke Hukura, this seems to be the name of a person in a case in the original Conan book. (From "The Murder at Villa Dracula")
"I seem to have an impression of the book he was talking about, The Adventures of the Shield Black Cat."

Xiao Ai also said at the side at this time.

"We heard about this book in the last lawsuit."

Gu Meimen also remembered.

In the last trial of the lawsuit, the opposing witness, the professor named Matsushita, once indulged in this book on the Internet.

"It's too much. The works created by the writer are like their own children. How can they plagiarize!"

Gu Meimen stood up and said indignantly.

"Hey, why didn't I see before that you are so concerned about novels?"

Xiao Ai complained on the side.

Gu Meimen ignored her and held Kimura's hand with a very righteous look.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me! For such a shameful thing as plagiarism, I will help you get justice!"
