Life in Tokyo as a lawyer

Tokiwa Soogo ate dinner in a leisurely manner. He didn't expect that some stir-fried dishes in a small shop on the side of the road could be so authentic.

Tokiwa Shogo was about to pay the bill after finishing eating quickly, but was told by the boss that Dai Machiko had already paid the bill when he left.

Seeing the empty street outside and Dai Machiko's long-disappeared figure, Tokiwa Sogo thought to himself, this girl must have misunderstood something...

Life in Tokyo as a lawyer

Chapter 5 Why the camera is broken again

Sogo Tokiwa was in his office looking at the summary of the case he had written on the whiteboard with a marker, and was thinking about it when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Dai Machiko looked at the law office that was already open, knocked on the door and then looked in, and found that Sogo Tokiwa was already sitting in the office, staring at the whiteboard full of words, thinking about the case.

"Has Lawyer Chang Pan arrived so early?"

Dai Machiko looked at Sogo Tokiwa, who was sitting on a chair and staring at the whiteboard full of words, thinking, and said something a little embarrassed.

I originally thought that I had arrived very early and wanted to give my new boss a good impression.

Who knew that Lawyer Chang Pan had been working so early, and the basic information of this case had been clearly written on the whiteboard above the studio.

It's really admirable!

What Dai Machiko doesn't know is that Sogo Tokiwa feels too boring at home because he lives alone.

That's why I usually take a rest in a law firm, and that's why I showed up in the firm so early.

And when I came back yesterday, Sogo Tokiwa was already reviewing the case this time. If we follow the reasoning given by the police or Shinichi Kudo, there is no doubt about the case this time.

The whole case process was very smooth, and all the evidence pointed to the suspect Hanawa.

But this world is Conan's world, and the most suspected person in Conan's world is definitely not the murderer.

Although Tokiwa Shogo would not take this kind of joke as the truth, but it is inevitable to have a little doubt.

"You're here, just find a place to sit, I don't have a big place here, so I'm sorry."

Dai Machiko heard this and said very seriously: "It doesn't matter, although it is small, this is where the law really shines."

Seeing the other party's admiration, Tokiwa Sogo was a little baffled: "Ah? You should do it first, let's look at the case.

Although you should already know it well, let's analyze it from the beginning. "

"it is good."

"Mr. Hanaren Minami, the vice president of Taiyi Transportation Co., Ltd., was arrested on suspicion of murder.

The victim was Mr. Kawaguchi, who was also the vice minister of the company. The two had recently had a dispute over the position of the minister.

If Mr. Kawaguchi dies, Mr. Hanawa will naturally become the minister and the biggest winner.

Assuming that except for the two of them, there is no other person in the company who will become a minister, so the police did not suspect that someone killed Mr. Kawaguchi and blamed Mr. Hanawa.

And Mr. Hualun claimed that he had been at home that night, saying that he had never gone out, denied that he was involved in the case, and has not admitted that he is the murderer until now.

But the problem is that the company where the deceased works has temporarily lost the surveillance video function due to a system update.

If there is a surveillance video, many things can be solved, at least the murderer can be photographed. "

Tokiwa Shogo looked at the no surveillance video written above and said something helplessly.

However, none of the cases that these detectives encountered had the surveillance video working. It was really troublesome...

Also, if there is surveillance video in most cases, there is no use for detectives.

"There are two key pieces of evidence.

One is a fruit knife used as a murder weapon, with the fingerprints of the suspect Mr. Hanawa on it.

Although it is easy to explain in this respect, after all, as a shared fruit knife in the lounge, it is not surprising that anyone's fingerprints are on it, and the fact is that there are many groups of fingerprints on it.

Now one is about the fishing line, because there are Mr. Hanawa's skin flakes on the fishing line, and it is consistent with the traces found at the scene.

The most important thing is that there is really less fishing line in Mr. Hanawa's safe. "

Hearing this, Dai Machiko raised his hand and asked a question: "I think there is something strange, if it is a murder case in a secret room, it must have been deliberate for a long time, right?

Then why would the murderer throw away the murder weapon casually, and use his own things, shouldn't it be prepared separately? "

"No, most of the time, murders happen on impulse, and rarely are they planned for a long time.

Even the so-called secret room murders, most of them are just impromptu methods thought up by the criminals after the murders, trying to be clever and get rid of the suspicion.

The secret room technique of this kind of fishing line is the most well-known secret room technique. Most readers will not buy it if they are tired of writing in detective novels.

But in real life, it happens to be one of the more effective and simple methods. "

Tokiwa Shogo complained a little helplessly, although it is a very simple, convenient and efficient method to make a secret room with a fishing line.

But although the success rate is very high, because everyone knows it, detective novels have abandoned this method.

After all, when it comes to killing people in a secret room, once there is such a thing as fishing line tape, everyone can guess what kind of method it is.

But it is this method that even the writers of detective novels dislike, but it is the most effective.

"From the current point of view, all the evidence points to Mr. Hanawa."

Dai Zhenzhizi looked at the information written on it, and said with some concern that the current situation is greatly unfavorable.

Toki Pan Zhuangwu said at ease: "Don't worry, as long as the client is wronged, there will be evidence to help him get rid of the suspicion."

When Dai Machiko heard this, he nodded affirmatively: "That's right! As long as the client has been wronged, he will definitely be able to find key evidence!

When I visited Mr. Hanawa earlier, the prosecution seemed to use fatigue tactics to force Mr. Hanawa to confess.

So what do we do next?Do you need to find the media to expose this matter?After all, this practice is against the rules, right? "

The use of public opinion tactics is indeed Gu Meimen's method. I guess Dai learned it when she first cooperated with Gu Meimen?

Sougo Tokiwa shook his head: "The prosecutors are just playing around with that trick, but they are getting smarter and they rarely leave evidence. I have to say that the Japanese prosecutors and the police...forget it.

And I don't want to use things like public opinion and public opinion indiscriminately, maybe it will be backlashed. "

"Then shall we go see the client, Mr. Hanawa first?"

Tokiwa Sogo nodded when he heard this: "Of course, after all, I have read all the materials at hand now, and I have found nothing at all.

As the defendant in this case, we should get some useful news from him.

Then go to see Mr. Hanawa! "

Chapter 6 Spotting Lies

"Hello, I'm your defense lawyer Tokiwa, Tokiwa Sogo."

Tokiwa Sogo looked at Hanawa Minami in the glass window and showed his business card, and placed it by the window to show his identity.

"I'm Machiko Dai, we met last time." Dai also greeted Mr. Hanawa.

Dai Machiko has met the client of this case, Mr. Hanawa, before, and the two of them can be regarded as acquaintances.

"Hi, I'm Hualunnan." Mr. Hualun looked at the two lawyers and nodded.

Tokiwa Shogo looked at Mr. Hanawa who was detained. The current Mr. Hanawa still looks quite neatly dressed, but he is a little depressed, and the dark circles under his eyes can be clearly seen.

"Then let's stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point."

Tokiwa Shogo took out a notebook from his bag while talking, as if he was going to ask Mr. Hanawa about the case.

"it is good."

"Excuse me, what year were you born?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Dai Machiko and Mr. Hanawa became a little puzzled. Does the date of birth have anything to do with this case?

Why ask such a somewhat inexplicable question?

Dai was a little puzzled and asked Tokiwa Sogo: "Why do you ask the date of birth?"

"I have my reasons."

Tokiwa Sogo said something to Dai Machiko with a smile, then turned to Mr. Hanawa and said, "Mr. Hanawa, please answer truthfully."

"Okay, I was born in Showa 49."

"Where is your hometown?"

"Kasugabe, Saitama Prefecture."

"Are you married?"

"We've been married for almost ten years."

"How old is the child now?"

"..."

With Dai Machiko in a daze, Sogo Tokiwa and Mr. Hanawa began to ask and answer many questions that seemed to have nothing to do with the case.

In Dai Machiko's view, the question asked by Sogo Tokiwa has nothing to do with the case and is a complete waste of time.

It is completely two extremes from the lawyer Gu Meimen I saw last time.

Lawyer Gu Meimen asked a few questions casually, then turned around and left, completely ignoring the communication with the client and the information he got.

And Tokiwa Soogo seemed to be checking his household registration, he asked all kinds of questions no matter what, and these questions seemed to have nothing to do with the case.

What's the point of even asking?Are these great lawyers all this weird?

After writing several pages in Tokiwa Sogo's notebook, he finally said to Mr. Hanawa: "Okay, please tell me what were you doing when the case happened that night?"

Did you finally ask about the case?

When Dai Machiko heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thought that Lawyer Chang Pan would ask questions until tomorrow.

Mr. Hualun nodded when he heard this: "From [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening, our company held an online meeting to discuss the company's recent complaints, and it ended at about [-]:[-]. Meeting.

Mr. Kawaguchi also participated in the online web conference, and we also found out that he was in the company at that time.

Although it was not his turn to work overtime that night, he said that the matter in hand was not finished, so he stayed at the company to finish the matter.

After the online meeting was over, I sat in the living room and watched a TV series for a while. After my children finished their homework, I went to bed.

Later, when I arrived at the company the next morning, I wanted to go to the lounge to get a glass of water first, but found that the door of the lounge was closed.

I thought Mr. Kawaguchi fell asleep in the lounge because he was working too late, but I didn't care.

But later we found that the door could not be opened, and no one answered no matter how we called, so we broke the door open.

Unexpectedly, the dead Mr. Kawaguchi was found inside. After the police arrived, they conducted an investigation, but did not find any results.

At this time, the high school student detective appeared, and after a series of inexplicable reasoning, he said that I was the murderer.

I didn't finish the online conference at [-] o'clock that night, how could I drive over there to kill people.

But they said that Kawaguchi died at 08:30, as long as I drove there quickly from home, the time would be within time, so my alibi is not valid.

But I didn't leave home that night. My wife and children could testify for me, but the prosecutor said that because it was the testimony of my family members, it was not credible and was not accepted at all. "

When Mr. Hualun said this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He slept soundly at home that night, but was inexplicably identified as the murderer.

My family members can testify for me, but it is said that the testimony of my family members is suspected of being falsified to a large extent, so it is not accepted at all.

Tokiwa Sogo nodded when he heard this, but it was also expected.

In criminal cases, physical evidence is always valued over oral confession. As a family member, out of consideration for the protection of relatives, the confession of relatives is often not accepted, especially the alibi made by family members.

Mr. Hanawa sighed: "All I know are these things, I don't know anything else."

Sogo Tokiwa looked at the dejected Mr. Hanawa and asked: "You are in the company, because you competed with Mr. Kawaguchi for the position of minister, so there was a conflict? Is there such a thing?"

When Mr. Hanawa heard this, he nodded: "It did happen, but Mr. Kawaguchi has been targeting me, because he is a senior, so I have never disrespected him, but Mr. I have a conflict.

Moreover, the ministerial position this time is just a rumor that Minister Gu Chuan will be transferred to the head office, and Mr. Kawaguchi and I will be selected for the new ministerial position.
