Conan's Victory is Justice

Chapter 185 The duty of a lawyer is to protect the interests of the client—only in this case
After confirming the second-instance appeal process, Gu Meimen immediately said: "We must decide the outcome in one round after the civil second-instance appeal. If it drags on to criminal proceedings, it will be more troublesome for the public prosecutor to intervene."

"What Mr. Lawyer said is very true." Daisuke Torakura nodded quickly.

"Now tell me all the details about this novel case that you know."

"Ok."

Next, Daisuke Hukura began to tell what he knew.

According to his description, Daisuke Torakura's book was indeed written by Toshiya Tasho, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Also, he wasn't involved in any of the process of creating this book.

Including theme selection, outline writing, character creation, plot development, etc.

"You mean, it was Tasuo Toshiya who took the initiative to find you and said that he wanted to write a heroic fantasy novel about animals?"

"Yes, he provided me with the ideas including the subject matter. I didn't expect this guy to design me..."

Daisuke Torakura gritted his teeth at the thought of what happened in court.

He is more than 50 years old, and he can be regarded as someone who has seen the world. How could he not understand that he was actually designed.

"Obviously you designed someone else's first."

Xiao Ai on the side couldn't help but said.

She looked at Daisuke Hukura with contempt in her eyes.

"There is an injustice and a debtor. If you hadn't tampered with the original contract and killed his sister, no one would have come to you for revenge."

Daisuke Hukura's expression froze, and he said embarrassingly: "It turns out that you have all investigated clearly..."

Xiao Ai snorted coldly: "So far, what good deeds you have done, you know in your heart!"

Daisuke Hukura looked at her with disdain: "What do you know, you little doll? If you want to survive in this world, you must either eat others or be eaten by others..."

Daisuke Torakura wanted to say something else.

But at this moment, Gu Meimen on the side waved her hand and interrupted their words.

"Stop, don't talk nonsense here."

Gu Mei has no expression on her face.

"I'm short on time. Now I want to ask you a few more critical questions."

"Uh, yes, please, Mr. Lawyer."

"First, is there any clear evidence about Toshiya Tasho writing a novel for you?"

Xiao Ai on the side couldn't help but said: "Didn't Toshiya Tiansuo come up with a labor contract in the first trial?"

"That contract is fake!"

Before Gu Meimen could speak, Daisuke Torakura yelled.

Gu Meimen narrowed her eyes: "You mean, that contract was forged?"

"That's right, I signed a contract with him at the beginning, but to be on the safe side, what I signed with him was not the gunman's ghostwriting contract, but the co-authoring contract."

Thinking of this incident, Daisuke Hukura was very angry.

"What he showed in court was obviously fake! I don't know where he stole my personal seal, but that contract is definitely not what we signed!"

"Is that so..."

Gu Meimen nodded.

He had long noticed that there was something wrong with this matter in the court of first instance.

Because Daisuke Hukura's demeanor at the beginning was completely wrong.

Now, when he asked for proof, it was exactly as he thought.

"Now let me ask the second question." Gu Meimen said, "Before Toshiya Tasho wrote the novel for you, or during the ghost-written novel, did you complete other works by yourself?"

"I'm not sure." Daisuke Torakura shook his head.

"So, the third question, does Toshiya Tasho read books on weekdays? What kind of works does he usually read?"

"This... I don't know too well." Daisuke Hukura was a little embarrassed.

"You really don't care about anything but yourself."

Xiao Ai's disdainful voice came from the side again.

Gu Meimen glanced at Hu Cang.

"Okay, I'm done asking. Let's go."

He ordered Xiao Ai at the side to tidy up the things on the stage before preparing to leave the reception room.

Hu Cang couldn't help but said behind.

"Well, lawyer Gu Meimen, about this case..."

Gu Meimen turned her head and said lightly: "Don't worry, since I signed a contract with you, I will definitely help you win this lawsuit."

"Oh, oh, okay, Mr. Lawyer, please go slowly."

Daisuke Torakura's apologetic laugh came from behind him.

Walk out the gate of the jail.

The autumn wind blows head-on, mixed with the breath of flowers and plants, bringing a burst of coolness.

Standing on the sidewalk by the side of the road, looking at the bustling carriages and horses in front of you.

Xiao Ai couldn't help but said: "Are you really going to help this kind of person win this lawsuit?"

Gu Meimen turned to look at her: "Yes, what's the problem?"

"Of course there is a problem, that kind of person, that kind of person..."

Xiao Ai opened her mouth, but a word got stuck behind her, unable to speak.

Gu Meimen looked at her and raised her eyebrows: "Why, you started to be inexplicable again, and your conscience can't help it?"

"..."

Xiao Ai didn't speak, it was obvious on her expression.

Gu Meimen shook her head: "Didn't I tell you before that the duty of a lawyer is to protect the interests of the client. Since you are a lawyer, don't talk about your conscience."

"But that's a pure bad guy!"

Xiao Ai couldn't hold back anymore, and said this sentence.

Gu Meimen smiled: "Your expression now is particularly like the kind of novel that is looking for a dark stream, the protagonist is decisive in all kinds of killings, does not treat other people as human beings, can sell everything for profit, and does not need any feelings or cares, In the end, I really found such a novel, and after reading a part of it, I couldn’t bear it anymore, and felt that the protagonist should have a little bottom line and three views on life—you are especially like this kind of reader now.”

"Uh……"

Xiao Ai rolled her eyes.

"I can't answer your complaints."

Paused.

Xiao Ai said: "I think what you said is correct. A lawyer should put the client's interests first. But the premise is that the client has something worth entrusting."

Gu Meimen looked at her and shook her head slightly.

"No, under normal circumstances, before a lawyer accepts a commission, he has no way of knowing who the client is, so it is impossible to be limited to the client's identity, and it is impossible to know whether he is really worth entrusting. In addition, the lawyer's duties must Putting the client's interests first, this can never be changed."

As he spoke, the corner of Gu Meimen's mouth curled slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Of course, the premise of this principle is only limited to the current lawsuit that the lawyer is responsible for."

……

Go back to Gu Meimen's own villa.

Gu Meimen first did one thing——

Let Xiao Ai go online to investigate Daisuke Hukura's reputation.

A day later, Xiao Ai took out a large stack of materials and slapped them in front of Gu Meimen.

Gu Meimen flipped casually for a while, raising her eyebrows slightly.

"Is this person's reputation so bad?"

In the materials, most of them are netizens' insults against Daisuke Torakura.

Xiao Ai nodded: "Of course, this guy is really a scumbag. Not only is he not a good person in life, but he also doesn't have a good reputation on the Internet."
