Conan: The winner is justice

The two were walking in the corridor of the courthouse, chatting as they walked.

"I have a question."

"explain."

"You once told me that the law exists for fairness."

Xiao Ai said.

"But, after seeing the lawsuit you just fought, I now have a question - is the law really fair?"

"Shh!"

Gu Meimen covered Xiao Ai's mouth, pulled her to the corner of the corridor, looked around and shook her head.

"How dare you say such things, aren't you afraid of being dragged to tea?"

Xiao Ai was stunned and said speechlessly: "Tea? Who invites us to tea?"

"If you talk like you just said, the relevant departments will come to reconcile." Gu Meimen said seriously, "We have to be careful in what we do and what we say. If someone does something bad and is reported, our existence will be erased."

"I don't understand what nonsense you are talking about."

Xiao Ai rolled her eyes.

"Japan is a country with freedom of speech. Who would come to invite us to tea!"

"These days, do you still believe in the term 'freedom of speech'? It seems that your legal studies are not good enough!"

Gu Meimen clicked his tongue.

"Citizens do have the right to freedom of speech, but this right is relative. The Constitution stipulates that some things just cannot be said. Even if what you want to express does exist, you still cannot say a word, especially in public. If it spreads, it may have a bad impact and disrupt social stability, do you understand?"

"Fine."

Xiao Ai nodded.

The two of them continued walking.

However, after a while, Xiao Ai couldn't bear it anymore.

"I'm just very surprised. You always say that the law is fair and equitable. Is the lawsuit you just fought really fair? Regardless of the circumstances of the case, didn't the judge stand with you from beginning to end? What else is there? Is it fair?"

Xiao Ai breathed out all the words he had been holding back for a long time.

By the time Gu Meimen tried to cover her mouth, it was already too late.

"Well, the concept you mentioned needs to be analyzed in detail on a case-by-case basis."

Gu Meimen could only shrug.

"In fact, the law cannot be absolutely fair, it can only be relatively fair."

"It's 'relative' again." Xiao Ai curled her lips, "I'm always relative, can you not run into problems that are just 'relative'?"

"Because there are no absolutes in this world."

Gu Meimen said.

"The simplest example, 1+1=2, does this three-year-old child know it? But some people think this answer is too simple, and think the truth should be more complicated, so then 1+1 equals 3, and then there are various Plant a variety of answers.”

"This is the same in life." Gu Meimen continued, "For enterprises that contribute to local economic construction, the government's policy must support and encourage them. Think about it, if Baiwan Pharmaceutical loses this lawsuit, what will happen? What impact will it have?”

"Stocks continue to fall and credibility deteriorates until the company merges or goes bankrupt."

Xiao Ai answered immediately.

"It might be like this in a big way."

Gu Meimen nodded.

"Even if it is not bankrupt, the company will cause a lot of economic losses, and there will be a series of consequences afterwards, such as transfers of the human resources department, layoffs or salary cuts, and a large number of unemployed people on the list. These people will flow into the society again and face employment. The problem is that in the end it’s up to the government to step in and clean up this mess.”

"All right."

After listening, Xiao Ai nodded.

With her mind, she basically understood the logic of Gu Meimen's theory.

"So, the purpose of the judiciary is to stabilize social order and maintain the normal operation of society." Xiao Ai curled her lips, "What is fair and relatively fair? It is not to sacrifice the interests of a small number of people to take into account the overall situation. ."

"This is what you said, and it has nothing to do with me."

Gu Meimen immediately moved away from Xiao Ai for more than ten feet, looking like she didn't recognize her.

"Hey, hey, can you be normal?" Xiao Ai said speechlessly, "There's no one here, what are you worried about?"

"How do you know if there is anyone? Maybe someone is using a bug to listen in on us right now."

"Who's going to eavesdrop?"

"For example, a certain kid in blue with a bow tie."

"Please, with his high school student mind and age, can he understand what you and I are talking about?"

"I see that your mind and age are not much higher than his."

"Yeah?"

Xiao Ai raised her head with a half-smile, and watched Gu Meimen reveal her sharp little tiger teeth, and licked it gently with her little tongue.

"Damn, it's this trick again, I'm afraid of you."

Gu Meimen shrank his neck.

There was nothing he could do, every time Xiao Ai showed her teeth, he was helpless.

"Actually, the judiciary does not completely sacrifice the interests of that small group of people, as you said."

Gu Meimen paused and said this.

"The court usually gives the plaintiff and the defendant a buffer time before the trial. This time is used for both parties to discuss. If they can finally reconcile without going to court, it will naturally be a happy ending for everyone."

"Usually these big companies will try to save face, and in order to consider the social impact and their own impact, they choose to reconcile with the other party and not really make the matter a big deal."

"Some people often say that after learning the law, you will lose your humanity. It is just a matter of simply being exposed to the paper content of the law and talking about laws and regulations on paper."

"The law is cold, but what's cold is just the letter."

"Real justice usually has some human touch. You need to really go deep into this industry to understand the meaning of justice."

Gu Meimen told Xiao Ai bit by bit.

"..."

Xiao Ai stopped and looked directly at him without saying a word.

"What, is there something on my face?"

"No."

Xiao Ai shook his head and looked at Gu Meimen up and down for a while.

"I just didn't expect..." The girl clicked her tongue and stared at Gu Meimen's face, "To hear such words from a person like you is simply unbelievable. You are saying it again. That’s a lie, right?”

Gu Meimen shrugged, noncommittal.

The two of them walked and talked.

After a while, we arrived at the hall at the entrance of the court.

In the hall, a faint roaring noise could be heard in the distance.

I saw dozens of reporters crowded at the door, all with excited faces, taking pictures of someone in the circle.

"Lawyer Fei, this is the first lawsuit you have lost since your career. How do you feel about this?"

"According to rumors, I heard that you did not use your full strength seriously in this lawsuit. Is this true?"

"What do you think of Lawyer Gu Meimen, this new opponent who has been in the limelight recently?"

The person who was crowded in the circle, with a straight face and said nothing, was lawyer Fei Yingli.

Next to her is her daughter Mao Lilan, who is pushing the reporters with an angry look.
