Conan: The winner is justice

Over there, after Rei Kujo asked the witness, Toshiya Tadokoro, the witness, looked at him inexplicably.

At this time, he had not yet reacted.

So Reimasa Kujo had no choice but to cough and ask again.

"Witness, can you prove that the copyright of the work you wrote belongs to the plaintiff Takuya Kimura in this case? Even if it is a joint work, it can be created by two people."

The latter sentence is a very obvious hint.

Only then did Toshiya Tadokoro understand what the prosecutor meant.

So he quickly said: "Of course, this is a novel jointly created by Kimura Takuya and I, and he owns the copyright."

After receiving the reply, Rei Kujo immediately looked at the judge.

"The court can now learn that the plaintiff in this case also owns the copyright of the novel, so he has the right to make a civil claim. The defendant's attorney should not agree to the request to withdraw the lawsuit!"

The judge nodded: "Defendant's attorney, please express your opinion!"

Gu Meimen clicked her tongue.

Strictly speaking, Kujo Reimasa's question to the witness just now can be regarded as inducing the witness to speak in court.

Logically, the judge should immediately hit the hammer and warn him that his speech was invalid.

But the judge didn't do that. He just favored the plaintiff.

There's nothing you can do about this. Who gives these people in the trial court the so-called discretionary power?

However, these were all within Gu Meimen's expectations.

He turned to look at Toshiya Tadokoro, still with a smile on his face.

"Witness, you keep saying that the plaintiff in this case shares the copyright with you, so how do you prove this?"

"this……"

Toshiya Tadokoro was speechless for a moment.

How can he prove that he planned this incident in the first place.

Kimura Takuya is just his helper. It would be great if he can help him, but it is impossible to even help him write the book.

"Copyright is shared and generally subject to contract."

Rei Kujo immediately spoke for him.

"Witness, if you think about it carefully, you should have signed a contract with the plaintiff. Have you forgotten about it?"

Tadokoro Toshiya suddenly understood and nodded quickly: "Yes, I remember putting it somewhere in my house. I forgot to bring it today."

Rei Kujo then turned to look at the judge.

"In court, because the witness forgot to bring evidence, this court applied for an adjournment and will wait for the witness to provide additional evidence before holding another court hearing."

The judge looked towards Gu Meimen: "Defendant and his attorney, do you have any comments?"

Gu Meimen shrugged: "No objection."

So the judge and the jury discussed it with each other.

Finally, the judge struck the hammer hard.

"The prosecution's request is granted. Due to insufficient evidence in this case, this court hereby announces that the first public trial has been completed and the case has been postponed to another date!"

After delivering their speeches, the judges left the court.

In this way, the first public trial ended.

Rei Kujo wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down on his seat.

He almost lost this lawsuit, but fortunately the judge was on the side of the plaintiff and the case was finally postponed.

Thinking of this, Reimasa Kujo couldn't help but look at the enemy lawyer who had not left not far away.

"Gu Meimen, I really belong to you!"

Kujo Rei was still frightened and took a deep look at Gu Meimen.

"It was obviously an ironclad case with sufficient evidence, but you found a loophole and an opportunity to reverse the case."

"Sufficient evidence?"

Gu Meimen raised his eyebrows with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"When you say that the evidence is sufficient, are you just trying to trick the witness into using things that he doesn't have as evidence at the end?"

"Humph, isn't this the method you always use?"

Rei Kujo said coldly.

Gu Meimen didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. She packed her things and walked out of the referee's room without even looking at him.

The courtroom was completely dark. This case was very well-known, and a group of reporters were waiting outside like cockroaches swarming in.

Seeing Gu Meimen coming out, these people's eyes suddenly lit up and they swarmed forward.

"Lawyer Gu Meimen, please express your opinion on the case!"

"I heard that in this lawsuit, your client is a notorious plagiarist of novels. Will you not have any uneasy conscience during the defense process?"

"There are rumors from the outside that you will litigate for anyone who has money, no matter whether the client is good or evil. I would like to ask if you do this, will it not violate the professional ethics of lawyers?"

"You often win by attacking the judicial process. Does this violate the fairness of justice?"

Reporters clicked, cameras flashed.

Reporters are very good at catching gimmicks, and the questions they asked this time were almost all detrimental to Gu Meimen.

After all, this matter is very popular and has spread all over the Internet. Most people are not here to support Hu Cang.

Of course, Gu Meimen wouldn't say a word about this.

Pushed all the way, and under the protection of the bodyguard Aso Honesty, Komemon immediately hid in the court toilet in the name of going to the toilet——

Of course it was impossible for reporters to enter the toilet.

Because photography is not allowed in the toilet. Although the toilet is in the public domain, it is protected by the Public Security Management Law.

Otherwise, it is a legal violation of privacy rights and will easily lead to complaints.

"What a scene of prosperity."

A sarcastic voice came from the side.

Xiao Ai leaned against the wall of the toilet, with a faint smile in her eyes.

Gu Meimen raised her eyebrows: "This is the men's room."

"What's the matter? I'm just a child."

Xiao Ai looked like it was natural.

"No, I mean this one."

Gu Meimen looked to one side and looked at Mao Lilan who was standing next to her with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Well, I was dragged in by her..."

Mao Lilan's face was red and her eyes were wandering. When she saw the urinal in the men's room, she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head.

Gu Meimen adjusted her collar: "If you were a man and ran into the women's restroom, you would have been arrested and photographed and posted online to write a short essay."

"Well, I'd better go out then."

Mao Lilan coughed quickly and pretended to walk out.

"Forget it, there are reporters outside." Gu Meimen waved her hand casually, "Besides, I'm not a teenager who would blush when entering the men's room and make a fuss out of a molehill."

"I'm just a teenager." Xiao Ai reminded from the side.

Gu Meimen glanced at her: "Didn't you read the news? The virginity rate among Japanese elementary school girls has dropped below 50% some time ago."

"Tch, you're the only one who talks a lot." Xiao Ai curled her lips.

"Do you want me to drive those reporters away?"

Aso Makoto suggested from the side.

As a bodyguard, she never leaves Gu Meimen's side.

Gu Meimen shook his head: "No, don't do unnecessary things, they will leave soon."

"Oh fine."

There was a pause.

Xiao Ai couldn't help but say: "Now it seems that your reputation may be in jeopardy after this lawsuit."
