3:50 p.m.

Kyoto University, Graduate School of Humanities, Office of the Dean.

"Congratulations in advance to Professor Utsunomiya, this time it's a great success." Ikegami raised a foreign wine glass with a slightly lewd smile on his face.

"Where." Utsunomiya also raised his foreign wine glass and responded, "This is an unwarranted nuisance lawsuit filed against the university. As a teacher at the Faculty of Law of Kyoto University, I naturally have to solve problems for our alma mater."

"But -" Utsunomiya pondered for a while and then said, "After the trial, I saw a middle-aged man walking to the plaintiff's seat. He looked familiar to me. Was he the Tokyo man who bailed Kitahara out?

Imanishi, director of the Lawyers Association."

Ikegami swung his glass and said, "Yes. Imanishi is a little confused. When I went to ask the clerk for the trial transcript, I heard him ask that guy how he planned to win this case. Don't you think so? This guy has completely

Mo was stunned. Ever since he lost to Kitahara in the Kawamoto Expressway case, he has been afraid of this and that all day long."

When Utsunomiya heard what Ikegami said, he was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean? You mean Imanishi went to the plaintiff's bench to ask that boy how to win this case?"

Ikegami waved his hand and said, "Yes. This Imanishi, my old junior, is getting more and more confused. Maybe it has something to do with his daughter. Anyway, I don't know what happened to Kitahara, so he hooked up with his daughter.

So, this old father is probably very anxious, fearing that his daughter will really be abducted by that Beiyuan."

Utsunomiya fell into silence listening to Ikegami's words.

I don't know why, but just a moment ago, I suddenly felt a little uneasy in my heart.

It's strange, obviously he has won a big victory in the court debate stage.

"What's wrong with the great professor?" Ikegami couldn't help laughing when he saw Utsunomiya suddenly stopped talking, "The great professor doesn't really believe that the so-called Kitahara can really make a comeback, right?"

Utsunomiya put on a polite smile and responded to Ikegami's teasing.

However, the waves in my heart gradually emerged.

The original pride of winning the court argument suddenly began to dissipate.

The reason for this emotion is actually very simple. This is because it is the first time that a copyright dispute over the collation of ancient books has occurred in Japan. The case we are facing this time is a cutting-edge case in intellectual property disputes. For this new type of case, even if

Even though he is an experienced veteran, he should not take it lightly.

Thinking like this, Utsunomiya became nervous again.

Could it be that I really missed something?

Ikegami looked at the famous law professor who was smiling, but obviously lost in some thoughts. Ikegami couldn't help but patted the famous professor on the shoulder and said, "There can be no change. We have already won.

This lawsuit is an intellectual property lawsuit, and the competition is about technology. There is no way that kid can find some crooked way to overturn the situation!"

Utsunomiya nodded, but the uneasiness in his heart did not dissipate.

It was obvious that the other party was just a lawyer who had just graduated from university.

Why did I suddenly feel this fear?

What are you afraid of?

Utsunomiya looked at the foreign wine glass in his hand and couldn't help but laugh to himself again. Maybe he was really too nervous. The outcome of this lawsuit was already determined, and he would eventually become the winner.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. A Mediterranean man in a suit walked into the office, holding a thin piece of A4 paper in his hand. The person who walked in was Fujimura.

When Fujimura saw Utsunomiya, a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on his face, and he looked quite at a loss. He said, "Professor Utsunomiya. I have brought the evidence required by the court."

Utsunomiya looked up and saw that Fujimura was only holding an A4 paper, and his brows suddenly frowned slightly, "What information is the dean holding now? I'm afraid, we still need to submit some more materials. There is no need to stick to any form.

, even informal reimbursement vouchers and invoices are acceptable. Anyway, materials proving visits to archives in various places are acceptable."

Fujimura swallowed his saliva and said, "Huh... I'm sorry. I've always been a careless person in this regard and haven't saved any materials. What I'm holding in my hand now is "The Eastern Land Parade to the Tang Dynasty" in Kobe

Loan records from the University Archives collection.”

"This is enough." Utsunomiya continued, "What about the borrowing record above? Does it show how many days it has been borrowed?"

When Fujimura heard Utsunomiya's question, he couldn't help but squeeze the A4 paper tighter. His face looked a little pale, as if there was something very embarrassing and he was embarrassed to say it.

"What's wrong? Dean?" Utsunomiya saw that Fujimura across from him fell silent, his eyes became alert, and he asked again.

"Hug... I'm sorry." Fujimura's voice trembled a little, "There may be something wrong with the Kobe University archives record. It only shows that I borrowed the Tangji Collection for only 2 hours. This is really

It's very strange. Can Professor Utsunomiya explain my special situation to the court?"

Fujimura's words came out.

The entire dean's office suddenly fell silent.

Utsunomiya was speechless again. Originally, he thought that it would not be too difficult to deal with the investigation and evidence collection. After all, Fujimura also applied for scientific research project approval to the Academic Promotion Committee in a serious manner. Now that he has already applied for scientific research project approval on his own initiative,

, even if Fujimura really plagiarized Shimokawa's proofreading results, there are still some borrowing records and browsing records. You can't just set up a project and end up doing nothing.

But looking at the two-hour borrowing record in front of him, Utsunomiya got a headache. He really didn't expect that Fujimura would just ignore it and reach this point.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became a little subtle.

Chishang coughed slightly beside him, "How about telling the court that we tried our best to look for it but can't find it. The tribunal is not so busy and it is impossible to send people to the university to collect evidence in person."

Utsunomiya was silent for another minute, then nodded, "Just do what lawyer Ikegami said."

Fujimura felt that the eyes of the two people opposite contained some indescribable complex emotions, and as if to save his own face, he spoke again:

"But, two barristers, I don't think you need to waste any more time on this lawsuit. According to the latest information I got, Shimokawa is about to withdraw the lawsuit."

Upon hearing the news, both Ikegami and Utsunomiya suddenly raised their heads and looked at Fujimura.

Fujimura continued, "This information should be true. I got it from the students in his laboratory. I'm afraid Shimokawa has given up on it. He knows that he shouldn't continue to blackmail the university like this. If the lawsuit is really dropped successfully
Chapter completed!
