At the Tokyo Metropolitan District Court, today is the opening day of the murder case of President Seba, and many reporters got wind of it.
Just a few days ago, they reported how Kudo Shinichi, a high school detective and the savior of the Metropolitan Police Department, solved this secret room murder case that was causing headaches for the police.
At that time, the major media boasted very fiercely, and the public also discussed it enthusiastically.
But now that lawyer Gu Meimen has taken over the commission of this case and is responsible for defending the suspect, President Seba, things are getting very interesting.
It remains to be seen whether the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era" will be better, or whether the invincible lawyer with a flawed personality will continue the myth.
Shizuo Komemon was sitting in the middle of the last row of the courtroom, with his legs propped up on the back of the seat in front of him very awkwardly, holding the back of his head and falling asleep.
The arrest of Gin came to an end a few days ago, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened, and the days became the same as before, quite peaceful.
Machiko Dai walked in in a hurry, and after seeing him, she sat directly next to him.
"I'm sorry, my reaction that day was too intense. I shouldn't have said that you are a NEET."
"Oh." Shizuo Komemon responded calmly.
Dai Machiko was quiet for a while, then couldn't help but ask: "Hashima Yuhei is your stage name?"
Shizuo Komemon raised his eyelids, looked at her and then closed them again, "Yeah."
"Where's Chiba Hiiragi? Is it also a stage name?"
"Um."
"Why not continue to be a composer?"
After returning home that day with a lot of anger, Machiko Dai did not give up easily. She ran to investigate the Gu Meimen brothers to see if there was any breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, what she found shocked her. These two people were not simple characters, especially Shizuo Komemon's gorgeous resume, which almost blinded her.
Seventeen years ago, a composer named Yuhei Hashima composed two nursery rhymes, which debuted on the Oricon Song Chart and won the first and second place that year.
After that, the momentum continued unabated, with two songs sweeping past the predecessors and directly reaching the top of the cumulative single sales list.
Two nursery rhymes, overwhelming all traditional enka and pop songs, stood majestically on the top of the mountain. Seventeen years have passed and no one has been able to break the dominance of these two songs.
It's simply terrifying.
But after that, the name Hashima Yuhei suddenly disappeared, and no one knew what happened.
However, a few years ago, another Chiba Hiiragi appeared, and he still swept the charts as soon as he appeared. In the annual single chart that year, more than half of the top ten songs were composed by this person.
Soon it was revealed that Chiba Hiiragi and Hajima Yuhei in his early years were the same person.
However, no specific information could be found about who the people behind these two names were, and the name Chiba Hiiragi soon disappeared.
From time to time, several vests suspected to be of this person appeared, but there was no real evidence.
The mysterious composing genius, whose identity is unknown and whereabouts are elusive, always causes a storm and then disappears quickly.
Industry insiders and media who have met this person are all very tight-lipped about this person and will not disclose it to the public at all.
But now, this mysterious figure is not sitting here in person.
Machiko Dai was very confused, since she has such talent, why would she want to be a police officer?
"It's been banned." Shizuo Komemon mumbled drowsily.
"Huh? Why were you banned?" Machiko Dai asked curiously.
"The old man wanted me to go home and inherit the family business..."
"...Ha...ah...that's what it is, um, excuse me."
Machiko Dai turned her head with a stiff smile, thinking who would be so bold as to block the son of the prosecutor general. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the trouble of the big family and that she had overstepped her bounds.
Shizuo Komemon suddenly felt a chill on the left side of his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw Miwako Sato smiling, with the Coke in her hand pressed against his face.
"Here you are, as a reward for accompanying me today."
Shizuo Komemon was not polite and reached out to take it, "If you have another bottle of milk, I can help you vent your anger later."
Sato Miwako smiled and refused, "Although it's very exciting, let it go. This is a court, so it's better to be careful."
Then she looked at Dai Machiko, "Friend?"
Shizuo Komemon took a sip of Coke and shook his head, "A silly girl who can't think about it."
"?" Sato Miwako was a little confused.
Machiko Dai couldn't help but explain: "It's not that I can't think about it, it's just that in one case, my client suffered an unfair verdict, so I wanted to ask lawyer Gu Meimen to take action, but he didn't agree."
"Huh?" Shizuo Komemon looked at her strangely, "He agreed."
"Huh?! When?" Dai Machiko's eyes widened.
"Didn't he say? Thirty million yen commission fee."
"Isn't that what polite rejection means?"
"You're overthinking it. Just pay the guy who introduced me, and you don't need anyone's help or persuasion at all." Shizuo Komemon shook his head.
Machiko Dai was puzzled: "How can there be a commission fee of 30 million yen? Normally it is only one-tenth of this amount."
Sato Miwako explained on the side: "If it is Gu Meimen's lawyer, that's right. That's what that person charges. If there is no money, he will not accept it."
Machiko Dai was a little discouraged. Her client was just a small worker at a gas station, and there was no way he could have 30 million to pay the commission fee.
Miwako Sato expressed concern: "Well, if you don't mind, you can tell me. I'm also a policeman after all, so I might be able to help."
Machiko Dai's eyes suddenly widened with surprise on her face, "Really? Is it okay?"
"Of course. After all, as a police officer, this is my duty."
Machiko Dai was so moved that she felt that this was a real police officer, and then she couldn't wait to tell the story.
After listening, Sato Miwako's expression was a little tangled. She smiled bitterly and said:
"I have actually heard about this case. The Shirai Police Department who handled the case, I also worked with him before when we were in the first search section.
Although saying this is inevitably suspected of defending his own people, I believe in his professional ethics, and he is an experienced criminal who will not wrongly accuse innocent people casually."
Dai Machiko opened her mouth when she heard this, but hesitated. She was silent for a while and said slowly: "So, you refused to help me that day because you were also a criminal from the first search section, and you also need to protect your colleagues, right?
?”
Shizuo Komemon turned to look at her, "What nonsense are you talking about? The Shirai Police Department was beaten by me before, why should I defend him?"
Also, you said he violently intimidated the suspect?
To be honest, I think his methods are already very mild. He kicked the prisoner's stool down, made his voice louder, and spoke more fiercely. What kind of violent interrogation is this?
You might as well ask the criminal Sato next to me how violent he would be if I were the one interrogating him."
Miwako Sato smiled bitterly but did not speak.
"Why?" Dai Machiko's eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief, "Why can you say such things as if nothing happened?"
Shizuo Komemon thought for a moment, "Maybe, because I'm not a good person?"
