People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 90: Seizing the Young Master? Three million yen per person?

"Although it's New Year's money for children, but you are all so old now, isn't it good to have New Year's money?"

"Besides, if it really goes to court, you won't get a penny because the law is on your side."

Gu Meimen was not in a hurry. He calmly spoke the lines he had prepared in advance.

Immediately, he glanced at Kaga Ranmaru who was hiding among the many residents, and Kaga Ranmaru immediately spoke.

"What legal principles are on your side? Do you know how much we have lost?"

President Yamada's eyes lit up and he spoke quickly.

"Yes, that's right. Do you know how huge our loss is?"

"You're just trying to get away with just 3,000 yen per person. That's really disrespectful of us!"

"Lawyer Nakano, say something too!"

Listening to the noise from the residents nearby, Nakano Souji stood up.

Now, he feels that he has the support of the people and that he has the advantage.

Although I don't know who gave the idea to Chairman Yamada, but if I think about it carefully, it must have been Senior Xiang Yuan.

After all, not every lawyer has such a strong ability to grasp the situation!
Nakano Souji snapped his fingers, imitating what he had done to Genkou before, and then pointed at Kumimon without any hesitation.

Although she didn't know why, Kumimon seemed to be frightened by Nakano Soki's action and subconsciously took a step back.

This made Nakano Souki even more certain that I had the advantage, and he spoke without hesitation.

"Lawyer Gu Meimen, do you know how much loss our neighborhood committee has suffered? That is not just a simple economic loss!"

“The quality of our lives is inseparable from sunlight, whether it is the growth of flowers, plants, trees or people.”

"I have been inseparable from the sun since I was a child, so 3,000 yen in compensation is absolutely not acceptable!"

"At least, uh... three million yen per person!"

"... seize the young master?"

Xiang Yuanguang raised his head suddenly and looked at Nakano Souji.

He originally thought it was 3 million yen in total, but Kumimon was only willing to pay 3,000 yen per person.

That is one twenty-fourth of three million yen, or about 250,000 yen.

I didn't expect you to say 3 million yen per person, so the total is 240 million yen! ?
Xiang Yuanguang has never seen such a large amount of money since he traveled through time!

"Three million yen per person, haha, that's something only a rookie lawyer would say."

Gu Meimen walked slowly to the front of Nakano Sosuke. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the new lawyer.

It’s no wonder that this new lawyer is quite courageous, just like his daughter Machiko Dai.

Is this the norm for new lawyers nowadays? Well, it doesn’t matter.

"So, newcomer, have you really investigated the lighting conditions of these protest members?"

Nakano Souki was a little confused, he didn't know what Gu Meimen was going to say.

However, Xiang Yuanguang was very clear that Gu Meimen was about to start a bombardment.

"As for Mr. Tokuyama Yoshinori next to you, according to my research, the sunlight exposure time is less than 5% a day."

"Moreover, the construction of the new apartment by Shimadzu Corporation will not block any light from Mr. Tokuyama's house."

"But he's standing here now. Don't you think it's... ridiculous?"

Gu Meimen slowly took out the documents from his bag and placed them one by one on Nakano Souki's desk.

The first picture shows the housing situation of Tokuyama Yoshinori.

Nakano Souji's expression changed instantly. He picked up the description of the house and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, everything was just as Gu Meimon said, and Tokuyama Yoshinori's house was not damaged at all.

Tokuyama Yoshinori just... sneaked into the protest meeting and tried to get compensation...!
"Look, among the 80 people at your protest, how many are in this situation?"

"Come, let's take a look at this one. It's even worse. Let's take a look at the housing situation of Mr. Kaga Ranmaru."

The Gu Mei goalkeeper lifted up the housing situation in his hand for everyone to see.

The Kaga Ranmaru he mentioned has zero lighting in the house because it is just a room in a small apartment.

It is not a regular residence on the street at all, so there is absolutely no reason for him to participate in the protest!
"So, so what? Someone's right to shine is indeed threatened!"

"Lawyer Gu Meimen, are you saying that these people don't deserve compensation either?"

President Yamada spoke nervously, but Kumimon responded crisply.

He grabbed a handful of lawyers' letters from his bag.

"If I must say, of course not. After all, you guys teamed up with these [scammers] to try to blackmail me!"

"The lawyer's letter here already has the names of everyone present here. All I need to do is stamp it." "Shimadzu will file a lawsuit against everyone here for extortion."

"Not only will everyone not get a penny, but they will also have to pay compensation or even go to jail."

"And you, President Yamada, as the leader of a gang of fraudsters, the punishment you are about to receive is exceptionally severe!"

Everyone present was in an uproar. The residents looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with the situation.

At this moment, Kaga Ranmaru raised the corner of his mouth, and he knew that this was the time.

"Um, I, I didn't know there was such a serious matter... I'm withdrawing from the protest..."

"Could Attorney Kumemoto not send me a lawyer's letter...?"

Kaga Ranmaru stood up as if he didn't know Kumito, and what he said caused an uproar.

"Of course, please. This is your lawyer's letter."

Gu Meimen picked out a letter from among the many lawyers' letters and handed it to Kaga Ranmaru.

Without waiting for President Yamada to say anything, Kaga Ranmaru hurriedly stepped forward, took the lawyer's letter, and bowed repeatedly.

Then he said in a panic.

"Sorry, everyone, I'm going to quit the protest. Bye!"

Tick, tick, tick.

Kaga Ranmaru walked away quickly without looking back, which made the already shaken residents take action.

"Hey, everyone, this is fake. Don't be fooled. How can you sue me for this reason?"

Seeing the number of protest members decreasing around him, Nakano Souji became even more flustered, and he tried frantically to stop them.

But unfortunately no one listened to him, and the number of eighty people decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A triumphant smile appeared on Gu Meimen's lips. He looked at the silent Xiang Yuanguang and said with a smile.

"How is it? Lawyer Xiang Yuan, you have nothing to say, right?"

"As long as your client is no longer willing to entrust you, then everything is over."

"Your wind, which is not sure whether it's magic or something, can't be used at this time, right?"

Can’t use...?

Looking up at Genkou, Kumemon saw that there was no anger or other expression on his face, only calmness.

"I want to thank you, Attorney Gu Meimen. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to reduce the number of staff."

(Reducing... the number of people...!?)
(Is this actually part of Xiang Yuan's plan?)

Nakano Souji suddenly realized that what Yuan Guang had claimed had never been compensation, but the right to light.

Could it be that his goal was to ensure unity by leaving only those residents who insisted on retaining the right to light?

"Everyone, you all heard it, right? Wanting compensation is [blackmail]."

"But if what we want is the Right to Illuminate, that's a different matter, isn't it?"

Xiang Yuanguang stood up slowly, and when he slapped the table, the BGM in his ears changed instantly.

(Current BGM: Naruhodou Ryuichi～Objection! 2001)

At this moment, the wind flew in all directions with the source of light as the center.

Word bullet【4/5】.

The dozen or so people who did not leave because their right to light was actually damaged all stopped for a moment.

Dai Machiko, who originally thought that Xiang Yuan was going to be defeated, opened her eyes wide, wanting to see what was going on.

"I know that Kaga Ranmaru was a pawn you placed in the neighborhood committee, but it's thanks to this."

“I realized ... that this was a great way to eliminate the uncertainty.”

Xiang Yuanguang put his hands on his hips and looked at Gu Meimen confidently.

"Now, you have no way to divide my client team anymore because of all the uncertainties."

"Everyone was instigated by your people to leave. Even the ace lawyer Gu Meimen."

"There is no way to avoid going to the court, right?"

Gu Meimen frowned. He didn't expect Xiang Yuanguang to use this method.

But, so what?
He had investigated the situation of the neighborhood committee and knew the situations of the [Knight], [President], [Queen], and even the [King] on the chessboard. Those guys would never give up the compensation.

As long as we encourage these four people and the Tribunal, it is not necessary to go!
