Conan: The winner is justice

"reputation?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Meimen smiled.

"Be clear about it. I'm already a lawyer. I'm just here to make money. What else do I need to be famous?"

Xiao Ai was slightly startled.

Having lived with Gu Meimen for such a long time, she knew Gu Meimen very well. He was a very temperamental man.

But his current attitude seems to be that he doesn't care at all.

"But aren't those reporters talking bad about you?" Xiao Ai couldn't help but say.

She heard clearly that some reporters' questions were so naked that they almost pointed at Gu Meimen and scolded them.

"Let them talk. The lawyer profession is always at the forefront."

Gu Meimen waved his hand nonchalantly.

There was a pause.

"Since you want to make a lot of money, don't expect to have a good reputation. Are you dreaming about making money by standing still these days?"

"..."

Several people present looked at each other.

Gu Meimen’s words are quite meaningful.

"But, with all due respect." Mao Lilan spoke at this time, "I have investigated Hu Cang, and he is really not a commendable person. Lawyer Gu Meimen, it's really hard for you to defend such a person. Is it okay?"

Gu Meimen glanced at her.

"It seems you haven't learned enough law yet."

"Well, I know what you mean." Mao Lilan pursed her lips, "Your sister has just explained to me that the law should be based on the facts, but many things in the world are not as simple as... black and white. Medium, and gray.”

"Um?"

Gu Meimen raised her eyebrows, quite surprised.

"I didn't expect that a hot-headed fool like you could say such a thing?"

"Mr. Lawyer, stop calling me stupid!"

Mao Lilan pouted angrily.

There was a pause.

"I also studied a lot of the lawsuits my mother filed in the past, and I realized that the world is not that simple."

She said and sighed.

"Many people who commit crimes actually have various reasons behind them. They don't commit crimes for no reason. Many of those who are harmed by them are pure bad guys because the law has no way to punish them. That’s why these bad guys can do whatever they want, just like Daisuke Tokura this time.”

Gu Meimen stared at her for a while.

After a moment, he nodded.

"That's right. The fact that you can understand this means that your stupid and sweet brain is at least enlightened, and you are fundamentally different from your stupid and stupid childhood sweetheart."

"Well……"

Mao Lilan blinked.

After thinking about it, she asked curiously: "Mr. Lawyer, I find that you seem to have some prejudice against Shinichi."

"Not biased, just pure opinion."

"Why?"

"Because he deserves to be said that." Gu Meimen said casually, "Okay, don't worry about this problem and go back to the topic just now."

Gu Meimen looked at the girl in front of her with a smile in her eyes.

"You said that the world is not black and white. There is also gray in black and white. First of all, I must be sure that what you said is indeed correct."

Then, he changed the subject.

"It's a pity that if you put it in the field of justice, your words can only be completely rejected."

"Why is this?" Mao Lilan asked puzzled.

Gu Meimen didn't answer and said, "There are three realms in life. Do you know which three realms they are?"

Mao Lilan thought for a while and shook his head.

Xiao Ai on the side said: "The three realms of life refer to the first level: looking at mountains, they are mountains, and looking at water, they are water; the second level: looking at mountains, they are not mountains, and looking at water, they are not water. The third level: looking at mountains, they are still water It’s a mountain, but when you look at the water, it’s still water.”

"I see." Mao Lilan glanced at her, "You are a child, but you know a lot, just like my Conan."

"These three realms are philosophical terms. Philosophy is the study of all things and can refer to almost everything."

Just listen to what Gu Meimen said.

"Similarly, it can also refer to legal matters."

"After the average person has studied the law and goes a little deeper, they will find the law very complicated, feel that the case is not black and white, and feel that the parties involved have various extenuating circumstances. These are normal phenomena."

"But there is also a deeper layer to the law."

"This level is absolute order."

"Many people understand order as simply fairness and stability, but in fact the meaning is still too shallow."

"What is order? It is a method that abandons human rule and completely separates absolute good and evil."

"Good is good and evil is evil. Black is black and white is white."

"There is no such thing as black and white, there is no such thing as gray."

"If there is evidence, you are guilty; if there is no evidence, you are innocent."

"Leave everything not to people, but to the balance above your head. This is the true rule of law and true order."

After listening to Gu Meimen's words, Mao Lilan fell silent.

He lowered his head, his big eyes unblinking, seemingly deep in thought.

Seeing this, Komemon continued to ask: "Do you think that because Daisuke Tokura killed Tadokoro Toshiya's sister, Tadokoro Toshiya designed a trap to punish him in the name of the law. This approach is justified. Yuan? Even in your heart, you don’t want me to help Tokura escape from this trap, so you just let him go on like this and be thrown into prison in the end? "

"Well, a little bit."

Mao Lilan nodded slightly.

Gu Meimen smiled: "You think so, which means you haven't understood the third level of the law yet, and you still need to study more."

Mao Lilan thought for a long time.

Finally, she raised her head and looked directly into Gu Meimen's eyes.

"Mr. Gu Meimen, I think I understand."

She bent down and bowed deeply to Gu Meimen.

"Your words enlightened me. I will definitely study more when I go back and strive to become as powerful a lawyer as you!"

Mao Lilan looked solemn and bowed three times to Gu Meimen.

A few people talked for a while, and then Mao Lilan said goodbye to Gu Meimen, and left here with a thoughtful look on his face.

After she leaves.

Xiao Ai turned her head and said with empty eyes: "You were very good at talking about truth just now."

Gu Mei's appearance did not change: "What? Everything I said is useful, and it will be enough for her to study for three years."

"Oh, how could I remember that you have done the same thing before?"

"What's the matter? Don't slander me."

"Still pretending, didn't you deliberately set a trap in the Rice Flower Wolf case and send the other party to jail?"

"Hey, is there such a thing?"

Gu Meimen pretended to think.

"I don't know about you? To put it bluntly, you are the kind of guy who makes money through the law and likes to make a lot of excuses to cover up his dirty behavior."

Xiao Ai chuckled.

"Mao Lilan was so miserably deceived by you, and even the third level of the law made me laugh."

"Okay." Gu Meimen stopped pretending, "Otherwise, how could she, a silly Baitian, think that the law is very mysterious and valuable to learn? Otherwise, how could we separate her and Kudo Shin? One? Not that, if she can’t get over this hurdle, she will keep bothering me from now on, and treat me as an enemy. I must be annoyed to death by her?”

"Damn, I knew it!" Xiao Wai scolded, "You are so heartless! You would even deceive such a pure girl!"

Gu Meimen said matter-of-factly: "I am teaching her earnestly. Look how seriously this silly Baitian is studying and how promising she is!"

"Sooner or later you will suffer retribution! It is best to be struck to death by lightning!"

"Then I will use you as my backer and let the thunder strike you first."

"roll!"
