I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 119: A lively social scene of a retiring detective against No. 2 San…

A few blocks away from the Sakurada Gate Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, fifteen minutes ago.

Aki Shiratori threw the dossier in his hand on the desk and sighed.

The rookie police officer who was newly assigned to him asked cautiously, "Is this case so difficult?"

"Can't you see how difficult this case is when you look at the file?" The White Bird Police Department pushed the file toward the young man, "In the search class, in addition to the ability to handle the case, it is very important that you want to improve all the way. Just knowing what kind of case to hide from."

The rookie detective picked up the file, but did not open it, he just opened it, and then directly said to Shiratori: "This file is a bit strange, it's obviously kidnapping, just because I hired a superintendent. Your lawyer team can slip past it again and again. Isn’t Dongda’s legal jackal a little too amazing?

"If it's in the United States, it's probably not surprising, because they're the law of the sea. But Japan is a country of statute law."

Shiratori frowned and looked at his young partner: "Is Japan a legal system?"

"Of course it is, you don't know? Police University teaches."

"Sorry, the first time I became a police officer was during the post-war recovery period. The police university has not yet been established. The classrooms of your police university are still the auditorium of the United Nations occupation forces."

The young man was stunned, apparently not thinking about it.

Humans tend to think that they have been used to everything since time immemorial.

Just as the Chinese born after 2000 are used to their homeland being a quasi-superpower with a leading edge in electromagnetic artillery and hypersonic weapons, the conversation is full of imperialist style.

They didn't know how dangerous it was back then, or how the biggest strategic deception operation at the beginning of this century, jointly completed by Zhang Jiatun and "Japanese friend" Francisco Fukuyama, turned the tide. Gained a 15-year buffer time.

The young detective apologizes to Shiratori: "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, I mean..."

"So what the **** is this statute?" Shiratori helped his young partner through the awkward phase.

"Ah, that's true. The law of the sea is based on ready-made precedents, so once there are ready-made precedents, subsequent judges will continue to make judgments based on these cases when they encounter similar cases."

Shiraotori raised his brows suddenly: "Isn't that easy to go wrong? If a judge commits favoritism after encountering a case without precedent, wouldn't there be a series of unjust, false and wrongful convictions in the future?"

Partner nodded: "There is indeed such a situation, so the scope of application of the precedent is strictly limited, so even if it is wrong, it will only affect one country. In addition, there are higher-level courts such as the Federal Circuit, which can amend Inappropriate precedent. But, um, this mechanism isn't particularly effective."

Shiratori: "Not particularly effective?"

"Yeah, I remember the teacher at the Police University talked about things in the United States, saying that a family in the United States was kidnapped or something. After calling the police, the police just came over and knocked on the window to ask what was going on. After the prisoner responded, the police responded. Gone."

Shiraotori was speechless: "Are the American police so easy? What happened later?"

“The landlord and the female tenant who were kidnapped later were raped, and it seemed that someone died. The criminal was shot dead by the police after the murder, and the two people who first called the police took the police to court.”

Shiroi clapped her hands vigorously: "Okay! That's how it should be!"

"But the judge ruled that the police were not at fault because the criminal had been killed. The judge seemed to think that the police's duty was to uphold the dignity of the law, not to protect the personal safety of citizens. The police killed the criminal, so they did their job, and There was no malfeasance."

"What the hell, is this true?" Shiratori asked, frowning.

"It's true. Then after that, the judges in the whole district began to judge according to this precedent. The two plaintiffs refused to accept it and stabbed it to the Federal Circuit. As a result, the circuit affirmed the original judgment, and the result became Jurisprudence that applies to the entire territory of the Circuit Court. Now those state legislatures are considering relaxing gun ownership standards and delegating the right to self-defense.”

Shiraotori said: "So nonsense? It's crazy. In a country like Japan where it is illegal to carry guns, the detectives in our group must wear bulletproof vests when they go out to carry out major operations. Gotta wear body armor."

At this time, there happened to be criminal police officers from Section 4 who came back to work overtime after eating. They just listened to the conversation that started with "opening guns", and they agreed: "It's crazy to ban guns, and now Koreans use them. The Deshka machine guns and AKs were used, and the Fuqing Gang took out the rocket launchers and anti-tank mines made by China. If Japan wants to ban shooting and delegating the right to self-defense, they should have a chariot in Ueno Park.”

Another chunky criminal policeman with an unfinished meat bun in his hand said, "I really sympathize with my American colleagues. I hope their government has enough money to update their equipment."

"Don't you know that there is a tradition for American police to buy their own weapons. In order to fight the ferocious firepower of bootleggers, the police bought Chicago typewriters at their own expense."

Shiratori interrupted his colleagues: "What started during the Prohibition period, this started during the Civil War era, when soldiers from both the North and South would buy their own useful weapons in order to survive. The U.S. official only purchased very little but the soldiers bought them all if they had the money.”

The young inspector who initiated this topic looked at Shiratori unexpectedly: "You don't know the statutory law and the law of the sea, but you know about the US Army's rifle?"

"Because I like to read historical popular science books when I go to the toilet." Shiratori waved his hand, "Speaking of the law of the sea, I already know that Japan is not a law of the sea system. After all, I have seen so many court trials... "

The fat detective who just came in snickered and interjected: "I was also charged several times because the suspect 'falled' in the interrogation room."

White bird pouted: "Don't your prisoners often fall?"

"This is the point of knowledge," the fat detective raised the bun in his hand, "We will only let those suspects who can't afford a barrister fall."

"How the **** can I know that the gangster who was beaten is the eldest young master of the consortium?" Shiratori sighed, "I owe a lot of favors that I haven't paid yet."

His young partner asked with interest: "Human?"

Akira Shiratori obviously didn't want to talk about this, and forced the topic to return: "Speaking of Japanese laws, what did you just say..."

“Statutory law may also be called civil law or Roman law.”

"Rome...what." One of the two detectives in the audience mumbled.

"The characteristic of this legal system is that the legal provisions are very rigid, and a large number of legal scholars carefully study each provision, doing their best to ensure that it has one and only one interpretation. In fact, the difference between statutory law and the law of the sea is literally It's very big, and the sentences of the written law are very rigid, like scientific formulas, and the laws of the sea will have sentences with unclear meaning."

Shiratori joked: "Like what? 'Everyone is equal before the law'?"

"That's one of them. The statute doesn't have that kind of sweeping overview, it starts with defining who 'everyone' is."

Speaking of that, the young inspector turned his attention back to the file in his hand: "Because Japan is a country of written law, it is incredible that Hyuga Co. can escape legal sanctions many times. The debate of the lawyers' team is wonderful, but it is essentially just a game of words. , not every judge will be fooled by wordplay.

"If it is a country of the law of the sea, it may be because of the formation of a precedent, and the subsequent judges will follow suit in order to avoid the blame. But we are not, no matter how many times the lawyer team has made a successful innocence defense, If you meet a judge who admits to death, you may break your work at any time.

"But on the other hand, this kind of word game can only work in countries with statutory laws, because the legal provisions of statutory laws should be unambiguous and without omissions, and people can only recognize them when they find a loophole. In France, such sophistry is likely to fail to convince judges and juries, leading to a failed defense."

Shiroto nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you have completed your studies in Police University very well."

"He is the first graduate of the Police University."

"No, it's No. 2." The young inspector general corrected, "No. 1 also joined the Metropolitan Police Department, and then became the partner of Kiryu and Ma."

Shiraotori laughed: "Then his self-esteem must be very frustrated. That guy Kiryu is superb in terms of intelligence and mobility, and has a lot of experience. Especially in martial arts."

Several old detectives laughed together, and the young man followed.

After laughing, the young man continued to return to the original topic: "All in all, in my opinion, this Hyuga company's case is very strange."

"Not surprising." Shiratori looked at the young man's face, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, the fat detective immediately handed him the fire.

Shiroto took a sip, and then said as he exhaled smoke from his nostrils: "As a gift for you to explain the legal system of the sea and the civil law system to me, I will tell you about the operating principles of Japanese society. Japan In name, it is a country ruled by law, but in fact... I don't know what this country should be called. In short, this country is made up of various transactions.

"If you pay attention to Hyuga's customers, you will find that they are either rich or expensive, and the worst are also great writers, famous singers, and celebrities. These people encounter legal problems, and often the final outcome is not determined by the law, but It is determined by the menu of the kiosk that night.

"The food that night was delicious, the singing geisha had a great voice, and he was a celebrity with a lot of face in many places, so the case would become part of the deal."

The young man made a suspicious voice: "Huh?"

"For example, let's say there is a high-ranking official, let's say, let's say, it's the Deputy Minister of Tibet, in short, the kind of real-power bureaucrat who has a lot of small government secrets, who shoots people, and then instructs his loyal subordinates to silence them. The insider even killed his subordinates in the end. What do you think will happen to him?"

The young man frowned: "Did he kill one with his own hands, and then instruct his subordinates to silence him? This already constitutes a vicious murder? Even now that abolition is popular, it should be executed."

Shiraotori shook his head and stretched out two fingers: "I tell you, depending on whether the deal is done or not, he has two possible endings, but neither of the two endings is a confession. One, yes If the deal fails, he will be hit and killed by a truck or motorcycle in the street.

"The driver must have been drinking, and then he turned himself in in horror when he found out that he had hit someone dead. He would only repeatedly emphasize that he was drunk, that he didn't know anything, and he didn't even know the victim. Desperately kowtow to the family members of senior officials.

“This is undoubtedly a regrettable accident. There may also be a touching scene of a reconciliation between the victim’s family and the driver in court. Then the driver’s family is hired by the union in the name of caring, and gets a very easy The high-paying job will never worry about food and clothing, the driver has been out for ten years, and I am moved to reunite with my family, which is gratifying.”

The fat detective who was eating buns next to him laughed: "Don't say it so realistically, it will scare young people. Hey, don't listen to his nonsense, these are all urban legends, and there is no such high official. "

Shiroto ignored the interruption of his colleagues and continued: "The second possibility is that the transaction is completed, so the family members of the deceased receive a large sum of compensation that is enough to keep their mouths shut, and the second officer begins to live in seclusion. The juniors who have been brought up have also resigned from key departments in Tibet and transferred to Qingshui Yamen.

"There is no big truck driven by a drunk driver, no crying, but the procuratorate threw the file into the trash can and no longer prosecute. The former high-ranking official who killed people was fishing silently at home and enjoying his old age. "

At this time, the young inspector raised his hand and protested: "Isn't it right? A Kanagawa prefectural councillor was sued for domestic violence just a few days ago and resigned from his post."

"Politicians are different. Politicians are another way of playing. Politicians are important factions, and individuals can change them at will. Those who are replaced, as long as they still have the right to speak in their own faction, they will also be able to go out. It doesn't matter."

The young inspector looked suspicious: "Is that so?"

"Yeah. As a police officer, especially in this part of Tokyo, you'll soon become accustomed to inexplicable suicides and accidental deaths of senior civil servants. And of course inexplicable escapes."

"We are the Organizational Countermeasures Department, so it's relatively good." Others interjected, "We usually deal with cases where the murderer can be clearly identified. Of course, the murderer is not necessarily the real murderer."

The White Bird Police Department coughed, interrupted the interjector, and regained the right to speak: "Anyway, this case, 80% of the time is the case, take a closer look at what they've done to help rekindle celebrities who have lost their relationship. Old love, or let the haunted mistress find a new life, even if it is recorded on the computer, it can still smell a rotten smell."

The second place in the Police University frowned and looked at the dossier in his hand: "So this company can escape the law again and again?"

“Of course, the wonderful performance of the legal jackals of Dongda University is also one of the reasons. Their wonderful performance should have played a role in lowering the price of the transaction behind the scenes. In addition, this case is now in our hands of the fourth class. It can explain the problem. I don't know which police superintendent or prospective police superintendent ~IndoMTL.com~ clearly knows that this is an organized crime, and it is the counterpart to us."

After Shiratori finished speaking, he exhaled a long puff of smoke.

Second Sang stared at the file in front of him with a complicated expression, and whispered softly: "So this is the so-called dark side?"

"Where there is light, there is shadow, just get used to it."

At this moment, someone rushed into the office: "Hey! The big thing is bad! Kiryu and Ma broke up with the barbarians squatting on the street!"

White bird stood up with a clatter: "Damn it!"

Second place Sang asked suspiciously: "The Kiryu Police Department has brought an exaggerated gun? Shouldn't you be too worried?"

"Do you know how much damage he caused last time he fought on the streets of Tokyo? Not counting the helicopter that fell from the US military, it was worth a billion yen!"

Second Sang was stunned: "Huh?"
