In Detective Conan, you call this just an ordinary lawyer?

Inada Hankichi, as the presiding judge, granted the request for a recess.

The trial has entered its final stage.

In fact, even if Kensuke Komikado did not request a recess, he would still need to suspend the trial to hear the opinions of the other judges.

The verdict on Takahashi Issho was discussed, and the final conclusion was reached by taking into account the opinions of the jury.

3+6 Judges Panel, Discussion Room.

Inada Hankichi began, "The trial of Takahashi Issho is currently underway, and the evidence and statements have concluded."

What are your thoughts on this case?

The two professional referees shook their heads, indicating they had no other opinion.

Their views are actually quite similar to those of Inada Hanshiki.

There is essentially no significant difference in making judgments based on legal evidence.

The other six judges were non-professional jurors.

In response to Inada Hanki's question, one of the female referees spoke up.

"This case is clearly an act of revenge by Takahashi Issho against Kataoka Yumi. The prosecutor's office has charged him with murder, which is perfectly reasonable."

"Although Takahashi Issho's defense lawyer presented evidence arguing that Takahashi Issho's initial imprisonment was a slander by Kataoka Yumi."

"But this has not been confirmed."

"Takahashi Issho's actions are very serious; he should at least be sentenced to three years in prison."

At this point, another male referee spoke up.

"The act of retaliation stems from Kataoka Yumi's defamation. Regardless of the evidence, she should be given a lenient sentence, since Kataoka Yumi has not suffered any harm."

"I believe the punishment should be waived."

Female referee: "This is unfair to women's safety."

Male referee: "Why don't you talk about men being falsely accused? Does that mean men's safety isn't considered safety?"

Seeing that the two referees were arguing, Inada Hanki stopped them from arguing.

"Alright, stop arguing. Since you two have a disagreement about this case..."

"Then let's decide by vote."

"However, let me first explain the details of this case from a legal perspective."

When the others heard what Inada Hanki said, they all agreed with the decision.

After Inada Hanchi made a statement from a legal perspective.

Ultimately, by a majority vote, it was agreed that if the defense could not provide new evidence, Takahashi Ichisho would be found guilty, but given a lenient sentence.

.......

Meanwhile, in the courtroom, Daio Tano and Juzo Megure sat together.

Daio Tano explained the current situation of the court hearing to Juzo Megure.

However, Inspector Megure had no interest in listening to any of this anymore.

Because just now, he had already realized that Takahashi Issho's violation of Kataoka Yumi was actually Kataoka Yumi's defamation.

As a veteran criminal investigator, he was able to tell that.

He wasn't particularly concerned about whether it was defamation or not during the trial.

Similarly, he doesn't care much about the verdict anymore.

What bothered him even more was that Sato Miwako actually helped Takahashi Issho testify!

How can a police officer testify for a criminal?

Regardless of whether the criminal is innocent or not, Miwako Sato is a police officer!

What kind of behavior is it for a police officer to help a criminal testify?

It seems that Inspector Megure isn't very concerned about the verdict.

Daio Tano sighed silently.

Based on the current situation, it is certain that Takahashi Issho will be found guilty.

In this way, their prosecution can be considered successful.

only....

Kensuke Komikado won the case.

As for acquittal or a reduced sentence, that's impossible unless Kataoka Yumi herself is willing to admit that she slandered Takahashi Issho.

In that case, Yumi Kataoka would be imprisoned for defamation.

It's highly unlikely that Kataoka Yumi will do that.

Daiki Tano thought to himself silently.

.......

On the other side, in the viewing seats, Ran Mouri turned her head to look at Conan, a faint smile on her lips.

"Conan, I think Attorney Komikado's reasoning is pretty good too."

"And he's a lawyer."

"Why don't you consider studying law in the future? After all, reasoning and law can be linked."

"Sister Xiaolan, I don't want to."

Conan said angrily.

Ran Mouri looked at Conan with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong? Why don't you consider it? Isn't being a lawyer a great profession?"

My mom told me that some lawyers' reasoning is even better than some detectives'.

"No, I just don't want to."

"Sister Xiaolan, you wouldn't become a lawyer in the future, would you?"

Being a lawyer is not a good career choice, and Kensuke Komikado is even less of a good lawyer.

Conan's tone was tinged with dissatisfaction.

Ran Mouri frowned: "Conan!"

Why do you have such a strong aversion to the legal profession?

You once said that you enjoyed being a detective for the sake of justice, but now, Attorney Komikado's actions are all meaningful and righteous.

"But I've noticed that you seem to have a particular aversion to Attorney Komikado, and even seem to dislike the legal profession."

"Does this version of you still align with your original aspiration to become a detective?"

Ran Mouri stood with her hands on her hips, her face flushing with anger.

"Sister Xiaolan... I'm not like that, I... I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan."

Seeing that Ran was already angry, Conan quickly apologized.

At the same time, Conan secretly began to blame Kensuke Komikado in his heart.

He had never seen Ran like this before; it was all Kensuke Komikado's fault.

If it weren't for him, how could Xiaolan be so angry?

Furthermore, I don't want to study law when I go to university.

After all, being a detective is his ideal, and if Xiaolan becomes a police officer, then the two of them will be a perfect match.

Conan thought to himself, but put on a sincere face.

Ran Mouri's anger subsided considerably when she saw Conan's sincere expression.

But he still said unhappily, "Conan, you're not allowed to do that again."

"This is very bad. Children shouldn't be taught bad things, you know?"

Conan lowered his head and said, "I understand, Ran-neechan. I won't do that again."

"Okay, I'll forgive you this time, but don't do it again next time."

Ran Mouri tapped Conan on the head.

Conan covered his head and said with a grin, "I know, Ran-neechan, I promise I won't do it again."

After saying that, Conan silently thought to himself, "Luckily, Ran thought I was a child, otherwise I would be in big trouble today."

Simultaneously.

Conan's gaze fell on the direction of the room where Kensuke Komikado and Yumi Kataoka were talking, and his glasses gleamed slightly.

At that moment, he knew that Takahashi Issho had been slandered.

But for some reason, he didn't want Kensuke Komikado to win the case.

"What a strange idea."

Conan adjusted his glasses and asked himself the same question.

Why did I become like this? Shouldn't pursuing justice be what I want?

"Can....."

"Wait, it's true that Takahashi Issho wants to kill Kataoka Yumi."

"Since it's true, it's normal for me to have this thought in my mind."

"Hmm... that's the truth."

Conan developed a protective layer of self-deception in his heart.
