Mouri Kogoro and Conan stepped out of the elevator, but they did not dare to go any further under the intimidation of Sawaki Fair.

Behind them, the elevator door slowly closed, and the elevator began to move downwards. After Qianyu glanced at the elevator in slight shock, he looked back at Sawaki Hiroshi.

"Sawagi," Mouri Kogoro asked. "Do you really hate Tsuji so much? He just slighted your profession, but you wanted to kill him."

"Do you think Tsuji just insulted my profession?" When Sawaki asked, the emphasis was on "my".

"Could it be that..." Mouri Kogoro murmured.

"If I was the only one who was insulted, maybe I would hold back," Sawaki said. "But... several of Tsuji's friends I met before also mentioned that Tsuji likes to use other people's words.

Make malicious jokes about your identity or bad past.”

"That's why I said, I won't regret it," Sawaki said with murderous intent in his eyes. "Even if Tsuji Hiroki's life is lost, I don't know how many people will be saved from the persecution of that verbal thug. Therefore,

I have a clear conscience."

"Then you can definitely jointly sue for defamation of reputation..." Mouri Kogoro stopped mid-sentence. "You can also sue for insult..."

"How to prove it?" Sawaki looked at Kogoro Mori with a fool's eyes. "If we jointly sue and cannot get evidence, we will probably be charged with defamation of reputation. I'm afraid even the 'consequence' theory cannot be used

Be applicable."

"..." Moori Kogoro and Conan could only remain silent.

The crime of defamation of reputation can be punished as long as the suspect publishes any information that may damage the reputation of others. (In 1938, the Japanese Grand Court clearly stated that actual damage to reputation is not required, as long as the information has the effect of damaging the reputation of the victim.

The risk can be directly convicted. For example, if someone scolds his neighbor in his dormitory and is overheard, then this person can be convicted.)

However, the conditions of this crime are too easy to meet, and it is even easy to damage the right to freedom of speech. Therefore, Japan introduced an amendment to the Criminal Code in 1947 to exempt some cases.

If the information being released has public interest, will be beneficial to the public after being released, and can prove the authenticity of the information, then it will be exempted from liability.

In the 1969 Evening News Wakayama Current Affairs case, a reporter covering Wakayama got information from local official staff and published it, but the news was false. Therefore, both the first and second instance courts believed that the reporter could not meet the requirements of the Criminal Code Amendment.

requirements of authenticity and convicted the reporter. The Supreme Court of Japan rejected the judgment of the first instance and the second instance and gave the following basis for judgment.

If the actor has enough reasons to misunderstand a non-factual existence as a fact, it is deemed to meet the requirements of authenticity.

(In fact, there is also a legal theory of "speech confrontation", which means that when the plaintiff has the ability to debate freely with the platform and the slanderer, he is deemed innocent. But this should be a legal theory that was discussed by the Tokyo District Court in 2007.

Not yet in 1994.)

However, if so many people jointly file a complaint and their authenticity cannot be proved in the end, I am afraid it will only be considered a planned and collective act of defamation of reputation.

"So, I won't hate you," Sawaki's fair tone suddenly became weak. "Because you are performing your duties. However, I also have reasons why I cannot give up. If I cannot kill this beast, I will not rest in peace!"

"

At this moment, the elevator rose again, and Officer Megure and Officer Shiratori rushed out.

"Noir Sawaki, you have been surrounded!" Officer Megure said righteously. "Hurry up and let go of the hostages and capture them without mercy!"

"Are you serious?" Kohei Sawaki moved the knife on Mao Lilan's neck, reminding everyone that he could kill the hostage at any time.

The sound of the helicopter's propeller suddenly drowned out the ever-present sound of collapsing buildings, and everyone belatedly discovered the helicopter that had appeared in the sky.

The helicopter arrived directly above the rooftop, but apparently noticed something strange below and was too late to land.

"I hired you here!" Sawaki shouted. "Hurry up and throw the rope ladder down!"

"And you," Sawaki Koichi then looked at Officer Megure and the others. "Throw the gun over here!"

"..." After a moment of silence, Officer Megure and Officer Shiratori threw the guns in their hands. However, I don't know if it was intentional or not. Neither of the two guns was thrown at the feet of Sawaki Fairy, but they were quite far away from him.

Far away.

"..." Kouki Sawaki originally planned to pick it up by himself, but found that Officer Megure and Officer Shiratori both planned to take the opportunity to rush up.

"Kid," Sawaki said to Conan, "throw those two guns over here."

Conan didn't hesitate and walked towards the two guns.

He knelt down and picked up the gun, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

So that's it... If that's the case, it can all be explained...

Conan raised his head and looked at Sawaki Koi's eyes as if he were looking at a ball of filthy mud.

That look in his eyes made Mr. Sawaki break into a cold sweat.

And next, Conan's move was even crazier - he put his finger on the trigger, and then pointed the muzzle of the gun, which symbolized death, at Sawaki Eira, who was holding Mao Lilan hostage.

"Hey!" Officer Megure and others were all covered in cold sweat. "Conan!"

"!!!" Sawaki Koichi was also shocked. "Kid, what are you going to do?"

After Conan adjusted the muzzle of the gun slightly, he fired.

The bullet did not hit Mr. Sawaki, but it opened a bloody splatter on Mao Lilan's ankle.

"!!!" Officer Megure and others were shocked - if Sawaki Eira was not killed with one blow, it meant that the hostages would be in great danger! What's more, the gunshot itself actually hit the hostages!

However, what happened next surprised everyone.

"Hey! Hey!" Sawaki Hiroshi panicked and tried to pull up Mao Lilan, who was paralyzed due to a foot injury, but failed. "Stand up quickly!"

After a hostage collapses due to a foot injury, it will become a burden for the hostage when he escapes, so the value of the hostage is wasted.

"That's it!" Officer Shiratori murmured. "It turns out that Mr. Mori shot Madam to protect her..."

At this time, Mouri Kogoro had no time to answer Officer Shiratori, because his mind was now occupied with the idea of ​​stewing Conan to appease Mourilan who was shot by him.

At this moment, Sawaki Koichi froze as if he had been cast down. Then, as if he was in great pain, he not only let go of Mao Lilan, but also fell to the ground and curled up.

A short arrow pierced Sawaki's thigh.

"Well," Qianyu, who used the strength of his arms to stand on the edge of the platform and held the half-folded seamless umbrella in both hands, greeted everyone. "Looks like I'm just the icing on the cake~~~"

Qianyu decided on a strategy when he saw the situation - first take the elevator down, then climb up from other directions to carry out the assault.
Chapter completed!
