Conan: The winner is justice

At Komemon's signal, Tokura Etsuko took a deep breath.

"I can prove that the gun-for-hire contract signed by my husband and the witness presented by the witness in the first trial of the civil lawsuit was a forgery!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like an eight-egg detonating in the court.

"Sure enough, there is a twist!"

"Damn it, this audit was not in vain!"

People were very curious and looked at Etsuko Tokura in the field.

The contract mentioned by Etsuko Tokura was the key evidence in the first instance of the civil lawsuit in this case.

It proves that the novels written by Tokura were not co-authored with others, but were written for hire by gunmen.

Due to Japanese copyright law, the copyright of the novel written by the gunman belongs to his employer.

The employment contract proved that Hu Cang owned all the copyrights of the novel, which in turn proved that the infringement of the novel was established.

But now, the suspect's wife says that the contract is fake, which is equivalent to directly overturning the root of the logical chain——

Since the contract is fake, the "gunman theory" does not exist, and there is no way to prove that Tokura owns all the copyrights to the novel involved.

Can that still prove infringement?

Of course not.

Because of this, the logical chain will return to the "shared copyright theory", and the point raised by Hu Cang in the civil complaint will be established. The copyright will be divided into the hands of a group of studio members, and the plagiarized parts will be touched by everyone. , divided according to the amount of text, on average, it does not constitute infringement.

"Yue, Etsuko?"

Tokura Daisuke opened his mouth and looked at his wife in surprise.

He didn't expect that his wife would actually stand up and speak for him.

Etsuko has always been at odds with him and hates him very much. This situation is simply a fantasy.

Could it be that she has changed her mind?

Over there, after Etsuko Tokura spoke, Toshiya Tadokoro was stunned for a moment.

He stared straight at Etsuko Tokura, with some disbelief in his eyes.

He didn't understand that the two of them were supposed to be allies, but they both harbored hatred for Tokura and regarded Tokura as his enemy.

Why did she suddenly switch sides during the second public trial and stand here in Hucang instead?

After being stunned for a long time, he finally came to his senses.

"You're talking nonsense! The contract is written in black and white, how could it be fake!"

Toshiya Tadokoro hurriedly took out the employment contract, held it high and showed it to everyone, pointing to the signature and seal underneath.

"Look, there is Hu Cang's signature and his seal here! This book was written by me for Hu Cang! The evidence is solid, how can it be fake!"

His voice was a little panicked, with obvious impatience.

How can you not be in a hurry? Seeing that revenge for his sister is in sight, Tokura is about to go to jail, how could he just waste all his efforts!

Etsuko Tokura gave him a sympathetic look.

Then he regained his composure and hid this trace of pity.

"I signed it and stamped it."

She stated slowly.

"The contract was forged by myself and the witness without my husband's knowledge. It was all a plan to put my husband in jail."

As Etsuko Tokura's words fell.

There was a complete explosion in the courtroom.

"Holy shit, there's actually a big melon!"

"It's really not in vain. It turns out that all this was premeditated!"

"This is a blockbuster with a solid plot. This is a legal drama, and it will take at least twenty episodes!"

"I knew that this vixen did everything! She is not worthy of being Huhu's wife!"

"I guess it's because the couple is at odds and the wife is dissatisfied..."

People's eyes were filled with excitement and they were whispering to each other.

At this moment.

What is justice and evil, what is right and wrong, it seems that it doesn’t matter anymore.

One by one, they become critics and point fingers.

On the prosecutor's side, Kujo Reizheng had cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

When Etsuko Tokura stood up, he felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, as soon as her testimony came out, it was like a straw that reversed the situation. In an instant, all the advantages of the situation went to Gu Meimen's side.

This clearly means that he wants to retract his confession!

Rei Kujo gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

"protest!"

He stood up with a whoosh and pointed at Etsuko Tokura.

"The witness and the defendant are married, and their identity is particularly sensitive. His testimony should not be used as a reference!"

The judge pondered for a moment, nodded, and struck the hammer.

“The protest works!”

After all, the prosecutor's argument does make sense.

The witness and the defendant are related and legally have a first-order relationship.

The first priority is parents, children, and spouses. If these people come to testify for those involved in the case, the strength of their testimony will be much lower than that of people who are not interested.

"I have objections!"

At this time, Gu Meimen stood up.

He looked up at the trial court with a serious look on his face.

"Japanese law clearly stipulates that except for those who are physically or mentally deficient or who are young, unable to distinguish right from wrong, or unable to express themselves correctly, they cannot serve as witnesses. Anyone who knows the circumstances of the case has the obligation to testify! Why can’t couples be witnesses? Chief referee, is your ruling a bit biased?”

Gu Meimen has never confronted a judge head-on in court before.

This is the first time since his debut.

The judge frowned slightly and looked unhappy: "What the prosecutor said is reasonable. How can the defendant and his attorney prove whether what the witness said is true?"

"That's right!"

Reimasa Kujo also helped from below.

"If the contract is forged as you said, don't you know that this behavior is illegal?"

Etsuko Tokura's behavior is suspected of the crime of forging documents (principal), the crime of perjury (accessory) in the first instance of a civil lawsuit, and the crime of fraud (accessory).

This was mentioned before.

Why should she be charged with perjury and fraud? Because Etsuko Tokura knew everything from beginning to end. She knew Tadokoro Toshiya's plan, so from the beginning when she used the seal to forge the contract, it was equivalent to her being responsible for the entire contract. involved in this case. Even if she did not appear in the first trial of the civil complaint, she was equivalent to an accomplice.

In fact, strictly speaking, the previous detective Koshien, Koshimi Nanatsuki case, Koshimi Nanatsuki can also be regarded as an accomplice in the murder of Hiroo Kazuo - as long as there is participation, regardless of whether the criminal intentions of the participants are communicated with each other, they are all Become an accomplice. However, there is no evidence for Koshizu Nanatsuki, and it cannot be proven objectively or subjectively. Even if he was found not guilty in the capital, he would be found not guilty.

"Of course I know it's illegal."

Etsuko Tokura glanced at him and said loudly.

"But, even so, I must stand up and testify for my husband!"

"Etsuko..."

Looking at his wife's determined expression.

Hu Cang on the side was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, he was still a little touched.

For a moment, he thought his wife had really changed her mind.

"Etsuko, when I get home, I will definitely treat you well..."

Tokura Daisuke couldn't help but stand up and wanted to hold his wife's hand.
