Kitahara's voice echoed in the court. The young male lawyer's defense was like a sharp needle piercing the eardrums of every university management present. Every university person heard Kitahara say that they would pursue the joint research When the supervisors of the Institute and the research team of the Department of Engineering took responsibility, their hearts involuntarily "thumped", as if their hearts had suddenly stopped at this moment.

If the executives of the Faculty of Engineering at Kyoko University are also criminally investigated, it will be an unprecedented scandal of the century. And it is not just a scandal. Nowadays, competition among Japanese universities for public scientific research funds is extremely fierce. If such corruption occurs, If the incident really spreads to more people, it will undoubtedly have a huge negative impact on the budget that the university can obtain.

Money is everything.

Without money, there is no scientific research output.

Of course, without money, the various hidden benefits of managers will also be greatly reduced.

Chigako looked at the lawyer's momentum and seemed to see a ferocious beast roaring with filial piety. The Kitahara lawyer's meaning was already very obvious. As long as his client was convicted, he must try his best to Pulling someone to support you. This...this...this is not criminal defense at all, this is sharing the same fate, this is revenge.

Ignoring a good plea agreement and not using it, I would rather risk a heavy sentence and drag other people in the university into trouble. This is simply like a barbarian!

For a moment, Chigako no longer knew how to reply to the lawyer. She actually felt that this case should be charged with the crime of privately dividing state-owned assets, rather than the crime of corruption.

This is the ingenuity of the other party.

Once the crime of privately dividing state-owned assets is convicted, then not all those who participated in the private division of state-owned assets should be held criminally responsible, but only the persons in charge and those directly responsible. For auxiliary personnel like Morimoto who only followed instructions, There is a high possibility of being guilty.

In court, the third fact about Morimoto's corruption has fallen into an unprecedented legal debate. Whether the country's public funds are separated from the supervision of the prescribed budget system satisfies the illegal possession purpose required by the crime of corruption. Even if there is an illegal possession purpose, then whether this case should be charged with the crime of privately dividing state-owned assets or the crime of corruption. This is another huge legal problem.

Sitting in the auditorium, Yuuki couldn't help but secretly marvel at the ability of this Kitahara lawyer. Yuuki obtained a double degree in auditing and law at university. Although she finally worked in the auditing industry, because she was often involved in corruption cases, Her understanding of the ins and outs of official crimes is even better than that of ordinary lawyers. This Kitahara lawyer has set up two extremely clever lines of defense, and it is not easy for the prosecutor's office to break through these two lines of defense. Illegal The purpose of possession is one, and the crime of privately dividing state-owned assets is another, just like the wire trenches on the battlefield.

Kitahara Yiichi.

Yuki recited the lawyer's name silently in her mind. Her first impression of this young man was indeed correct. He was really a very extraordinary person.

The court's cross-examination continued. Chigako continued to present evidence, and Miyagawa also followed Kithara's cross-examination. Although the court investigation continued, it was obvious that everyone was still trapped in the difficult questions raised by the Kitahara lawyer just now. .As a result, until the final evidence regarding the third corruption fact was presented, everyone suddenly realized that the trial of the third corruption fact had been completed.

The time has come to 6:20 pm.

From the high spring sun to the sunset, night has shrouded the outside of the court building, and the quaint streets of Kyoto have also been lit up with night lights.

Judge Zuo Jiujian pinched his eyebrows and sighed as he looked at each legal problem that was more difficult than the last. Then he raised his head and announced, "This trial is over. The next court session will be held later."

Announcement. The defendant is remanded to the detention center!”

"Card!"

The gavel sounded, and Morimoto's second trial on corruption charges ended...

…

…

In the evening, 8:30.

Kyoto University, Conference Room, Teaching and Research Building.

Both sides of the European-style conference rectangular table were filled with famous figures in the university. The directors, who rarely appeared on campus, were also rarely present at the venue at this moment. Among the previous meetings of the university, many

The mysterious figure who has never been seen before is also in this conference room.

Okawara was also sitting among them, frowning. At this moment, he already knew what happened in today's court hearing. The defense lawyer actually openly declared that he wanted to convict of the crime of privately dividing state-owned assets, and also wanted to hold the person in charge of the Engineering Department accountable.

.This is simply a ridiculous statement.

However, after saying this, some upper-level officials at the university really started to worry. The authority to handle the whole matter was immediately transferred directly from the Faculty of Engineering to the university level. The Faculty of Engineering could no longer intervene in the matter of Morimoto's corruption case.

Responsible for the latest information reporting work.

Having a headache, a real headache, Ogawara tapped his temple lightly. He never thought that the male lawyer he glanced at in the school auditorium that afternoon would actually create such a huge trouble for him. He had already pleaded guilty to a crime.

Accepting the penalty was a sure thing, which led to this situation.

There was an unprecedented tense atmosphere in the conference room. The reason for the tension was not only the trouble that the lawyer suddenly brought to the university, but more importantly -

Vice President Takeuchi will also come to this meeting in person to hear a report on Morimoto's corruption case. This vice president who single-handedly implemented drastic reforms at Kyoto University is a university leader who has always been known for his ruthless management style.

. An intruder who dares to claim that "universities do not support idlers" and directly targets many professors.

Even before Vice President Takeuchi came to the conference room, just the name card on the table was already exuding an oppressive aura. To this day, Takeuchi's name is even as important as the emperor within the management of Kyoto University.

Such majesty and shock. Some people can't even imagine what kind of comments Takeuchi will make on this case when he comes to the scene.

Ogawara swallowed his throat, looked at the tea cup next to him, picked it up, and was about to take a sip to relieve the dryness in his throat. At this moment, there was a clear sound of high heels, and suddenly an executive walked in quickly,

"Vice Principal Takeuchi is here!"

The urgent voice showed the administrator's fear of the vice principal.

This method of announcing his arrival to everyone present in advance also reveals how powerful the vice-principal has become.

It would have been impossible for someone at the level of the vice president to pay attention to a researcher's involvement in embezzlement of public funds. But now, the male lawyer has forced this powerful figure at Kyoto University to personally
Chapter completed!
