The next day, 10:30 in the morning.

Kyoto University, Department of Classical History.

There are four figures sitting in the small teaching and research room.

"Have you already initiated action?" Beitahara looked at the quasi-professor Shimokawa in front of him and asked with some surprise. I originally thought that after saying goodbye temporarily that day, Shimokawa would wait for his reply before making a decision. Unexpectedly, within these three days,

, he had already made his own decision first.

"Yes." Shimokawa scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Maybe it was the Chinese that lawyer Kitahara said that day that was a little inspiring. So, my mind got excited. Now I have asked Kyoto University

The academic ethics committee of the university made a formal complaint against Fujimura for plagiarizing my ancient book review work. The university responded to me yesterday and they will start a disciplinary hearing this Friday."

On the table are several notices sent to the complainant by the University Academic Ethics Committee. These include "Instructions for Participating in the Disciplinary Hearing Meeting", "Integrity and Commitment Letter", "Confidentiality Agreement", "Notice of the Disciplinary Hearing Committee Members", "Discipline"

"Notice of hearing date". One piece of document paper after another, stamped with the bright red seal of Kyoto University, exudes the solemnity of this famous Japanese university, and the school's internal disciplinary process has been officially launched.

Kitahara looked at the pieces of paper on it, picked them up to read, and frowned a little. If the university's internal disciplinary procedures were to be followed first, then whether the lawyer could intervene would also be a problem. At the moment, it is still

Some things are difficult to handle.

Shimokawa stared at the papers and said: "I want to file an academic ethics complaint against Fujimura within the university first. If Fujimura still refuses to admit his mistake, then I will have no choice but to file a formal lawsuit."

While talking, the quasi-professor spread his hands helplessly, "But now, the war has officially begun. In the past two days, I met other teachers from the Humanities Department in the school cafeteria. They all seemed to be hiding.

You are avoiding me like a god of plague. There is nothing you can do."

Kitahara continued to read the documents related to the Kyoto University disciplinary hearing in front of him. His eyes scanned the lines of text, and then fell on the name of the chairman of the hearing.

The person presiding over this hearing was Professor Utsunomiya Hisaku.

Kitahara raised his head and asked, "Does Teacher Shimokawa know this Professor Utsunomiya?"

"I only know that he is a professor at the Faculty of Law of Kyoto University." Shimokawa shook his head, "I am basically unfamiliar with the teachers in the Faculty of Law. The only ones I have come into contact with are law teachers who study the history of ancient legal systems. As for other law professors, their

Most of my research fields are modern law, which is basically incompatible with the classical history I study. Therefore, I have very little communication with them."

Miyagawa read the name "Utsunomiya" beside him and fell into thinking. Then he looked at the man next to him as if he had recalled something, "Kita...Kitahara, do you remember? Professor Utsunomiya used to

I once came to the University of Tokyo to give a lecture on intellectual property."

Turning on the phone, tapping the screen, Miyagawa searched for Utsunomiya's information.

Soon, a webpage with the personal information of the law professor at Kyoto University appeared on the phone.

Hearing what Miyagawa said, Kitahara also stood beside Miyagawa curiously, looking at her mobile phone and browsing Utsunomiya's profile.

A photo appeared on the phone. The man in the photo was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his temples were a little gray. However, the silver hair not only did not make the man in the photo look old, but also made him look older.

He exudes an indescribable sense of majesty, which makes people feel that he is extremely qualified.

Professor Utsunomiya, 58 years old, is the vice president of the Oriental Intellectual Property Research Association. He has written books and papers to his name, serves as editor of many important legal journals, and has participated in the legislative process of many Oriental intellectual property laws and regulations. At the same time, Utsunomiya

He is not only a theoretical scholar, but also a famous lawyer. Twenty-three years ago, the international intellectual property treaty for the protection of integrated circuits had just been passed. Relying on his status as an associate professor at Kyoto University, he represented a domestic company at that time.

A semiconductor company initiated Japan's first intellectual property infringement lawsuit against integrated circuits and became famous all over the world due to the case.

After reading this information carefully, Kitahara felt that Kyoto University should have carefully considered the candidates. Perhaps because of the difficulty of intellectual property rights in collating ancient books, Kitahara specially selected such a famous professor of intellectual property law to serve as

The presiding officer of this disciplinary hearing.

Kitahara's finger clicked on the screen of Miyagawa's phone, pulled down, and scrolled to the bottom of the page.

Immediately, I saw a dynamic news item below the character profile.

News headlines slowly scrolled out from the side of the phone's screen.

The eye-catching blue font reads "Congratulations to Professor Utsunomiya of the Faculty of Law for being awarded the Hamilton Foundation Distinguished Professorship"

Click again to enter this news, and you will see the first paragraph of text:

"Professor Utsunomiya of our college was recommended by Vice President Takeuchi to serve as the Hamilton Fund Distinguished Professor. The Hamilton Fund is a memorial fund established in memory of the famous intellectual property law scholar Hamilton. This fund is closely related to the world

The law departments of various well-known universities cooperate to bring together first-class intellectual property scholars and students from all over the world to fund their research and visiting activities."

In a large paragraph of text, the words "recommended by Vice President Takeuchi" appear particularly dazzling.

When Miyagawa saw this text, he couldn't help but open his mouth, and his two eyebrows immediately twisted together. Again...it's this Takeuchi again?!

Why can I really see him everywhere?!

"What's wrong, Saeko?" Hirose, who was standing aside, saw Miyagawa's expression and asked with some confusion, "Did you find something?"

Kitahara coughed slightly, looked at Shikawa, and said, "I'm afraid I have some bad news to report. This Professor Utsunomiya seems to have a close relationship with Vice President Takeuchi. According to my previous understanding, Fujimura is the one who allows Takeuchi to

An important member of the elected vice-chancellor. If this is the case, then it is very likely that Utsunomiya will also know Fujimura."

"Is this...is that so?" Shimokawa said with a bitter smile, "No way. This is Kyoto University, one of the highest universities in the entire East. After all...it's impossible for someone to be so knowledgeable at the level of the entire university."

Kitahara stood there, looking at the scenery outside the window of the teaching and research office, with a vague bad feeling rising in his heart. From the moment he walked into this historic Toyo University, he felt a suppressed atmosphere. This long campus

, now it seems to be tightly entangled by tentacles stretched out by an invisible monster, making everyone living inside feel a kind of suffocation.

The question is, how big is this invisible monster hiding in the university? How long can its tentacles extend?
