The court became unusually quiet. After listening to Komemon's evidence, many citizens in the gallery had changed their expressions. Originally, the case of Takai v. Akagi Hotel Group, Tokugawa Keiji, at first glance, seemed

This feeling of hotel dominance also aroused the sympathy of many people. Although the hotel involved was the childhood memory of many Shinjuku residents, in this obvious contrast between strength and weakness, people still tended to favor the weaker side.

However, according to Gu Meimen's current statement, the hotel only built the pillars on other people's land because it mistakenly believed in the land boundary measurement results of the Land Registry. The bad impression of the hotel's dominance suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Coupled with the blessing of childhood memories, many listeners turned to the hotel again. They began to wonder whether the plaintiff had already known about the misalignment of the land boundary, just because the hotel was a listed company and was easy to extort money.

, so I kept seizing on the matter of these two square meters and wanted to get entangled with it.

"Really, if it's because the Land Registry made a mistake, then sue the Land Registry. Why do you have to mess with a good hotel?" A citizen in the auditorium cursed in a low voice.

Miyagawa sat on the seat, her eyebrows were frowning together. She never expected that the hotel could pass the responsibility to other parties in this way. As for Gu Meimen's plan to sue the land

Registration office, this is simply an impossible thing. The land boundary survey that took place 23 years ago has already exceeded the statute of limitations. Even if you sue the land registration office, you will only end up being dismissed by the court.

The case seems to have come to an end.

Miyagawa tilted his head and looked at Kitahara next to him. However, when he saw the male lawyer who had a somewhat careless expression before, he rarely showed a serious expression. Kitahara took the land boundary map handed over by the clerk and looked at it.

Laying it out on the table, he looked at it very carefully, slowly reading word for word, as if an archeology professor was deciphering some ancient text. In between the slow reading of word by word, he would cross up and down from time to time.

To compare, the fingers of my left hand gently tapped on the copy, while my right hand held the pen and kept taking notes back and forth.

Barristers are human beings too.

There are no three heads and six arms.

Facing an evidence raid, it also takes time to digest the material.

Even the most skilled lawyer must read the land resumption map that is suddenly thrown out with caution.

What's more, this is an evidence raid led by Gu Meimen.

Seeing Kitahara's appearance, Miyagawa knew that Gu Meimen had created an unprecedented big trouble. It would be great if he could be of some use at this time. Even if... even if he could stand up and say a few words, it would delay Kitahara until one day.

A little bit of reading material time is also fine.

Miyagawa's mind was constantly racing. The beauty racked her brains and tried to share a little more for the man beside her. At this moment, she also kept reading the copy of the land boundary map in front of her, hoping

A breakthrough for refutation can be found from this.

Suddenly, the pen tip held by the beauty paused.

It's like I noticed something.

It was like a beam of light shining into the heavy fog.

The crisp sound of a coin falling to the ground dispelled the confusion of thoughts.

The former third place student at Tokyo University's Faculty of Law, although she seemed to be well-behaved and cowardly, was forced by her father to study law. However, she actually had a unique perspective on the law.

Miyagawa suddenly noticed that Gu Meimen's legal thinking was to shirk responsibility, that is, to blame the construction of the General Hotel on the land registration office. But the problem was that when the land boundary was restored, the General Hotel

The construction of the palace columns had not yet begun. Therefore, the construction of the General Hotel cannot be understood from this piece of paper alone.

There are many things in the world that are one thing before you think through them. Once you think through them, they will become something else. And you will also find how ridiculous the previous perspective of thinking about things was.

Miyagawa suddenly discovered a breakthrough, and immediately turned to Beihara and said, "I will cross-examine first. I will give you some time."

"Okay." The man next to him looked at him with approval and approval. Then, Miyagawa immediately stood up from his seat and said, "The plaintiff's attorney does not recognize the relevance of this evidence!"

Miyagawa walked out from behind the seat, holding a copy of the land boundary map and said, "This land boundary map can only prove that the pillars of the General Hotel that the defendant plans to build fall within the recognized land boundaries marked by the surveying and mapping brigade, but it cannot

It proves that the pillars actually built by the defendant fell within the land boundary.”

"When the survey and mapping were made, the palace pillars of the General Hotel had not yet been formally constructed. Therefore, are the actual pillars constructed consistent with the position of the ground pillars marked on the land boundary map? The defendant did not provide evidence to prove this. The defendant claimed that his behavior

The construction was carried out by relying on the drawings produced by the administrative agency. However, the premise of this statement must be that the defendant's construction behavior was carried out completely in accordance with the drawings produced by the administrative agency."

"Now it has happened that the hotel's large pillar has crossed the land boundary. The plaintiff's attorney believes that this is most likely because the defendant did not fully follow the markings on the land boundary map for construction. It may be that the hotel privately changed the actual construction location of the large pillar.

, caused the situation in this case.”

"Therefore, the so-called evidence adduced by the defendant is not enough to demonstrate the immunity of the defendant's construction behavior. The land boundary map only proves the location of the proposed pillars, but does not prove the location of the actual pillars. Therefore, the land boundary map produced by the defendant is inconsistent with the

Proof purpose, not relevant!”

The plaintiff's female lawyer's words immediately changed many situations.

Imanishi, who was sitting in the gallery, was secretly surprised when he saw his daughter reacting so quickly. The way his daughter looked in the court just now was something Imanishi could never have imagined before. That

Saeko, who was timid and did not dare to offend others, but only wanted to please others, could one day stand up in court so heroically and speak so eloquently. Could it be... could it be that she was influenced by that wild boy?

The sharp rebuttal of the plaintiff’s female lawyer instantly attracted the attention of many listeners. The citizens who were watching seemed to have noticed the loopholes in Gumeimen’s evidence just now. Yes, the boundary map cannot explain whether the actual construction of the hotel is in compliance with regulations.

The defendant indeed did not provide sufficient evidence. Whispering discussions immediately echoed in the court again.

Over in the dock, Gu Meimen listened to Miyagawa's rebuttal without any emotion on her face. On the contrary, when she saw this rather "immature" female lawyer getting up to refute her again, Gu Meimen's face once again showed a trace of emotion.
