Chapter 15 Rashomon's Testimony(1/2)
Nikaido Law Firm.
In the office, a meticulous lawyer with a suit and tie and waxed hair combed.
He wore a silver-edged watch on his wrist, and three small characters were engraved on the silver-edged ones - Rashomon.
Erjietang elegant man.
The founder of Nikaido Law Firm, one of the best gold medal names in Tokyo lawyer circles.
A lawyer holding the law is a weapon.
Excellent lawyers are the best among them.
If Shingo Watanabe is a Sushuo knife, he has almost harsh principles of justice and open-minded consciousness, so he can use it.
Then Nikaido is a black gun. No matter whether the client's heart is black or white, money can pull his trigger.
He loves money?
No, he never lacks money.
Victory is justice.
He just likes to sell "justice" and likes to watch people line up to buy "justice" one by one.
"Dongdong."
"Teacher Nikaido, the client who made the appointment has arrived."
"Let them come in."
Two men walked in.
They are all wearing cheap suits, and some tattoos can be seen on the collar and cuffs.
This appearance fits a group.
Gangsters.
Anyone will have legal needs, from legal counsel to multinational groups to family members of mediation, and gangsters are no exception.
Nikaido has only one standard for selecting a client, and someone who can afford to pay for his legal issues.
...
"Mr. Nikaido, long time no see, we came for the Hasegawa Beauty Salon."
The older one among the two clients said.
"You know, behind our industry is the Ministry of Health and Health, where billions of yen of medical support funds across the country are cashed in through us every year."
Nikaido leaned back on the boss's chair and said with a smile:
"I think you've got the price ready."
"Of course, we're willing to give you this price."
The other party took out a secret letter.
Nikaido opened it and looked at it, laughing.
"Why would you rather invite me at a price of more than ten times the price than choose to settle out of court?"
"In addition to compensation, he also asked us to apologize publicly. He wanted to make things worse, but we didn't want to."
"You have thought about why an ordinary working person with average financial conditions would rather give high compensation than let you publicly declare apologies and make things worse."
“…”
"I'll tell you a story."
Nikaido always had a strange smile on his face.
He took off his watch and placed it on the table.
The pointer of the mechanical watch is ticking, and blood is dripping in the concave character of Rashomon.
"There is someone who needs a lot of money, so he figured out a solution.
He fell in love with a woman, lived together for 6 years, and had children. In the eyes of outsiders, they are extremely loving couples.
Until one day, my wife died because she went to a plastic surgery hospital for double eyelid surgery because of irregular surgery procedures.
Then, the husband sued, stood in the perspective of losing his beloved wife, sued the plastic surgery hospital, sued the medical system, and put the matter in front of the public, which was known to everyone, and aroused sympathy for the public..."
"Are you talking about us?"
The youngest of the two couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"No, it's just a story."
Nikaido looked at him with a smile. Although he was smiling, it made people feel that this look was a bit scary.
"After that, when the matter is settled, the husband will buy it for his wife. The beneficiary is his own insurance and come to the insurance company to settle the claim.
After many years of marriage, the couple is in love, both have children, they buy insurance every year, and everyone knows about medical accident deaths.
Insurance claims are natural.
This person took 6 years to gain a wealth that he would never spend in his entire life.
What do you think of this story?”
"Scam insurance fraud? Is this person cheating insurance?!"
The young man obviously couldn't hold back his anger. After listening to the "story", he suddenly realized it and stood up and said excitedly.
"Be more steady."
The older man scolded him.
"Mr. Nikaido, his behavior is illegal. Can we counterclaim?"
After hearing this, Nikaido leaned against the seat with a smile.
“This is just a story, not necessarily the truth.
In fact, he may have been bored after living with his wife for a long time, or suddenly lacked money, and suddenly thought about it and decided to kill his wife and cheat his insurance.
Of course, there may be no insurance fraud from beginning to end, and this is a simple accident."
"Mr. Nikaido, can't the law define such a crime?"
"The law can only restrain people's behavior and cannot manage people's thinking."
Nikaido's fingers hit the table.
"Only he knows whether he is committing a crime... Maybe he doesn't know."
People are like things that are born to forget the truth that is not good for themselves and only take lies that are good for themselves seriously. - Rashomon
The watch's pointer ticks.
The blood in the Rashomon etching became increasingly rich.
The story told by Rasho.
Is it the truth or a lie?
Facts do not represent the truth. Lies sometimes become the truth. Everyone will interpret different stories.
This is not important, what is important is whether the person who listens to the story believes it or not.
The story of Nikaido is like magic.
Influences the two listeners in front of them.
Their thinking is combing the story on their own, choosing which truth to believe according to their values and their life experiences.
And at the same time.
In Nikaido's vision, blood-colored words that were as solid as substance were constantly emerging from the top of the two people's heads, rows arranged in front of him.
Name, birthday, friend, relative, family situation, life experience, the most proud things, the most regrettable things, the most shameful things...
If you believe the "truth" I stated, I will gain insight into your life.
As the two sank into the "testimonials of Rashomon".
Nikaido can clearly understand the whole life that the two people sitting in front of him have experienced.
...
Senior Ueno was driving the car.
Su Qi was sitting in the passenger seat and thinking about things.
They had just come out of Mr. Okmura's house.
I just read the insurance policies with huge compensation, and the situation has been reported to Mr. Watanabe.
The investigation agreement ends here.
Mr. Watanabe refused to accept the agent.
To be continued...
