Chapter 131 Dialogue
In Japan, the Autumn Frost and Burning Sun badge is the badge worn by prosecutors. Among them, "Autumn Frost and Burning Sun" means "cold as autumn frost and strong as summer", using the harsh climate to symbolize the supreme authority and severity of punishment. Dongtu "
Volume 153 of "New Book of Tang" says, "Although he is 1,500 years old, his heroic words are like the scorching frost and the scorching sun, which can be feared and admired."
The figure standing at the door is Toshikage Iwanaga, prosecutor of the Sakyo District Prosecutor's Office, and the prosecutor in charge of the Morimoto corruption case. Iwanaga's nickname in Kyoto's legal circles is "Crazy Tiger". He is obsessed with studying criminal cases, and once
An anecdote about not leaving the Sakyo Ward District Prosecutor’s Office for 5 months.
Iwanaga was one of the first batch of public prosecutors to receive elite training in the Toyo prosecutorial reform. His qualifications were originally enough to be transferred to the High Prosecutor's Office. However, he voluntarily refused the promotion opportunity. The reason he gave was that the High Prosecutor's Office prosecuted too few cases. In the Kyoto judicial circles, Iwanaga
It is almost every defendant’s and defense lawyer’s nightmare. Hence his nickname, “Crazy Tiger”.
Beihara noticed someone staring at him at the door, turned around and saw Iwanaga's face, and couldn't help but be startled. He had already studied Iwanaga's information in advance, but he did not expect that the moment the two met, it would be like this.
He couldn't help but smile and took a step forward, "Prosecutor Iwanaga. Let me introduce myself. I am Morimoto's defender, Kitahara Giichi."
Iwanaga nodded slightly, looked at the lawyer, and said in a deep voice: "I have just finished a trial on the crime of misappropriation of funds. Before coming, I heard from my colleagues that Morimoto's wife has hired a new defense lawyer to come to the court to review the case.
It happened to be this afternoon too. So, I came to see if I could hit it."
The prosecutor narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes showing vigilance, "The defendant in this case has already signed a confession of guilt and punishment. What he can get is the most lenient treatment in the law. You still have
Why do you need to come to the tribunal for review?"
Iwanaga's last sentence was more like a question than a question.
The air in the room suddenly solidified.
Beihara smiled softly, "Since the client has hired me as a defense lawyer, I should serve my client diligently and conscientiously no matter what. Therefore, I naturally have to go to the tribunal to review the case and fully understand the case. Otherwise
, a lawyer who is not even familiar with the case, what is the value of the client hiring him?"
Iwanaga ignored Kitahara's answer. In his public prosecution career, he has seen too many cunning criminals and colluding lawyers. He only heard him say calmly: "I advise you not to mess around. Your information,
I have also seen it. The Kawamoto Expressway case, the Shogun Hotel case, and the recent ancient book plagiarism case. Lawyer Kitahara, you really know how to choose the target of a blackmail lawsuit. From a listed company to a first-class university in our country, you have been
You bite them all."
"The prosecutor was ridiculous." Kitahara did not care about the slight sarcasm in Iwanaga's words. "Although I represent the interests of the client, I also obey the court's decision. Since the magistrate is willing to support the claim I requested, I
Naturally, there is no reason to refuse. If I am filing a blackmail lawsuit, then I am afraid that the chief judge who made the judgment is the real principal culprit."
Iwanaga snorted lightly.
He didn't want to waste time on unnecessary verbal disputes.
This lawyer who came from Tokyo obviously does not understand many "hidden rules".
"No matter how you read it, it's useless." Iwanaga said, "Do you think Morimoto didn't hire a lawyer before he signed the plea agreement? Let me tell you straightforwardly, before Morimoto signed it, he and
His wife has hired three lawyers to review the case. They all agree that pleading guilty and accepting punishment is Morimoto’s best option.”
"Now that you, Lawyer Kitahara, are reviewing the papers again, are you trying to make the same mistakes as your predecessors? Or are you so arrogant that you actually think you can beat the combined efforts of the previous lawyers?"
"Interesting." Kitahara's lips raised slightly, "The facts told by Prosecutor Iwanaga seem to be different from what I learned from Morimoto's wife, Dr. Ishimura. According to Ishimura, all of Morimoto's lawyers were previously
Recommended by Kyoto University. Dr. Ishimura originally accepted the lawyer appointed out of trust in the university, but unexpectedly, the lawyer introduced by the university worked hard all day long. Not only did it not have a positive effect, but it may have had a negative impact."
"Now that my client's confidence in Kyoto University and Kyoto's legal profession has been completely destroyed, he has terminated the original lawyer's commission and hired me specifically. After understanding the reason, does Prosecutor Iwanaga still feel that the previous
Can three lawyers together defeat me?
There was an extremely small and imperceptible change in Iwanaga's expression. He seemed to be a little surprised that the lawyer in front of him would dare to refute him so directly.
"I advise you not to be a clown." The prosecutor said coldly, "There are fundamental differences between criminal cases and civil cases. They are completely different from the blackmail lawsuits you conducted in the past.
Even if you lose this kind of blackmail lawsuit, the parties concerned will not suffer any loss."
"However, this is a criminal case. It is not a battle you can win by winning the sympathy of the judge. Once you choose an unsuccessful defense strategy, when the gavel falls, your client will be forced to spend time in prison.
With more time, he will only be able to reunite with his family later."
"So, Lawyer Kitahara, I advise you to put away that irresponsible attitude in the blackmail lawsuit. If your rash legal actions cause your client to suffer a more unfavorable verdict, you are tantamount to murdering your client's life."
Kitahara shrugged and spread his hands, "I'm very happy that prosecutors in Toyang can have such a responsible attitude. But please don't forget that even in Toyang, five out of 10,000 criminal cases are acquitted. Be careful.
When innocent people are sent to prison, but the real culprits are still at large, I hope the prosecutors also realize that they have murdered innocent people's lives."
"Of course, this is an innocent case. Even if there is no doubt about the guilt, the punishment will be lighter. As for how many defendants have been sentenced to higher penalties because of weak evidence. If this is included, then I am afraid that they will be punished.
The number of unfair people will be far more than 5 out of 10,000."
Iwanaga sneered, "I don't know about other prosecutors. But here, it's 50% impossible for them to appear."
The prosecutor took a step forward and said in a low voice again, "You should know the consequences of the defendant going back on his word. You may not be able to bear such consequences. So, Lawyer Kitahara, I still have to kindly advise you -
Don't do anything stupid."
Prosecutor Iwanaga's voice echoed in the marking room.
This is a silent threat.
