Chapter 583 - Survey (End of Hokkaido Chapter)

"That Hollywood agent was here to contact Natsuki Sakai, right?" Conan asked with laughter and cry.

"Yes," Shizuki Hatsumori looked at Conan in front of her and nodded. "The rumors are true. There are indeed people from Hollywood who come to contact Makiri, but the reason is not because they want to poach Makiri from their agent Masayo Yaguchi, but because they want to dig her royal makeup artist from her. However, as you think, Miss Makiri once agreed to give her a green light to terminate the contract when she went to Hollywood to develop, but in the end she broke the contract and insisted that only by paying the full termination fee in the contract can it be. And in the subsequent conversation, Makiri reiterated to Sakai Natsuki that she would not let her go."

"Is the termination fee very high?" asked Ai Haibara. "It should be rare that this kind of situation cannot afford the termination fee for a contract, right?"

"In fifteen years, the salary will increase by 5% every year," said Sadaji Takamori, after taking a sip from the water dispenser next to him. "Then the contract has just been executed until the third year. If she wants to terminate the contract, she needs to compensate for 5 years of compensation according to the agreed terms, and the last five years of the contract is paid in accordance with the salary increase model. She can't afford this fee at all. Moreover, since the entire contract also includes a series of long-term contracts, including housing, these contracts have preferential prices, but the terms of termination are very strict. It means that if she intends to force the contract, she still needs to pay a large amount of termination fees, including houses and cars, which is a huge amount that she cannot repay even if she has a loan. Therefore, the negotiations broke down."

"Do you have so many compensation projects?" Qian Yu's mouth twitched. "This... should be considered a king contract that takes advantage of loopholes, right?"

"Yes, typical terms that exploit legal loopholes, and the contract itself is signed by the sponsor of Makiri, which means that even if a lawsuit is filed, it is almost impossible to terminate these terms. What's more, it's too late to terminate the lawsuit, because the actress had returned to the United States before the performance of "Princess Josephine" - this is why Miss Sakai Natsuki eventually lost her mind and chose to murder."

"What should I say..." Haibara sighed. "Who told her to sign a 15-year contract stupidly, and she has not formulated relevant terms to protect her rights? Anyone who asks Makiri to give up all relevant compensation terms if she goes to Hollywood to develop. At worst, she can give the contract to the agent and then directly breach the contract - the chances of winning will not be completely gone in the subsequent negotiations, and as long as the media exposes it, she should be more confident."

"The key is to prove the correlation between these contracts, and then we can prove that the amount of the termination fee clause is too large." Conan sighed. "There is indeed a jurisprudence in this situation, but in the absence of a way to prove the correlation between these contracts, the existing jurisprudences are actually still in a 55-5 situation. These jurisprudences will not have a particularly great impact on the judge's rulings." (Although Japan is a mainland legal system, it accepted the influence of the United States after World War II and is also a country that focuses on jurisprudences. However, jurisprudences are divided into strong jurisprudences with more frequent occurrences, more reasonable reasons, less controversial and extremely rare, and the views within the Supreme Court are not unified. The former has a strong demonstration effect on new cases, but the latter is hard to say.)

"Let's not talk about this for now, what's going on with the plane?" Conan suddenly remembered something that was related to them. "What happened to the plane?"

"Engine 2 fell off. The first explosion I heard should be the sound of the crash of the second engine," Shinji Eaglemori shrugged. "I saw the maintenance record list of this aircraft when I was on the plane. The fan blades of the No. 2 engine had been damaged once before. I guess it might be that something went wrong in that repair, such as the maintenance method, and then it has not been checked out, which led to the engine after the repair being sick. Although there is no way to determine what happened now, at least the location of our plane when the explosion is determined. If we plan carefully, it may be possible to find the falling aircraft engine from the continental shelf."

"Is the plane's hydraulic failure because?" Qian Yu asked.

"There is a problem with the design of the hydraulic pipeline," said Sadao Eaglemori's mouth. "I actually guessed that this was the situation at that time - three sets of hydraulic pipelines would pass through under the No. 2 engine, so after the No. 2 engine exploded, all three sets of hydraulic pipelines were broken, causing all the hydraulic oil to leak. By the way, when the No. 2 engine exploded, it also caused damage to the tail wing, which caused the tail wing to be damaged before we finally tried to land, so the plane suddenly deviated before the first attempt to land."

"By the way, how is the plane?" Ai Haibara suddenly thought that until they left, the nose was still smoking, and the inside of the cabin was also filled with thick smoke. "When we got off the plane, there was still smoke in the cabin. Did the fuel tank burn?"

"Uh..." Qian Yu blinked and said nothing.

"If the fuel tank was burning, we would have died in the explosion," said Shinji Eaglemori. "It was the insulating pad between the inner and outer shells of the nose that burned, and then smoke rushed in through the gap. The smoke was so large that it was just because the explosion of Engine 2 caused a hole to be opened at the tail of the aircraft, which caused a convection effect and pumped the smoke into the flight class."

"My only expectation now is to be able to go back safely," Conan sighed suddenly. "I've been exhausted during this period."

"Yes," Qianyu also showed a helpless expression. "From Osaka to now, we have been almost always on the rounds - we did have a day or two to get back from the airship, but the problem is that the mission of jet lag has already used most of the time."

"Anyway, I'll have to sleep well at home in the next time," Conan moved his neck. "Don't call me if you go out, I just want to sleep well at home for a few days."

"We're about the same," Qianyu nodded with a wry smile. "Anyway, I should be -- in the next few days-"
