A few days later, at 11:23 am.

Kyoto University, Auditorium.

"I believe that our industrial software development in Japan will surely reach a new level. All the students here, you are the hope of the future." Okawara wore a heavy dress, holding a microphone in his hand, facing the rows of crowded seats below, and spoke in a tone of voice

He spoke proudly like a king.

The famous professor's voice was amplified by the equipment and reflected in the auditorium. Immediately, the female host announced with a smile: "Well, everyone, the Summit Forum on Advanced Issues in Mechanical Engineering Software Development has officially ended. Thank you Professor Okawara for coming to this conference."

Academic Forum. Thank you Professor Okawara for your efforts in organizing this conference!”

The students, monks and doctoral students who came to listen below all stood up and applauded warmly. The experts and scholars sitting in the front rows, feeling the atmosphere of the venue, also stood up and applauded. These applauses

Gathering together, they were like waves sweeping towards the podium, expressing their respect for this heavyweight on the stage.

Okawara showed a professional smile, bowed slightly, and exited from the steps on the side of the podium. He had become accustomed to this warm welcome atmosphere. After all, in the field of engineering, his academic status was as important to Japan as

A shogun who dominates the world is like a shogun. As a shogun, it is not surprising to receive such a degree of cheers.

He walked to the dim side passage and loosened the bow on his collar to relieve the sweltering heat caused by the spotlights on the stage. The shogun was not always comfortable, and the court was always involved in various government affairs. Just like recently,

The industry-research joint venture of the Faculty of Engineering was also investigated. In calm days, there will always be some unexpected small disturbances that disrupt the smooth operation of everything.

However, Okawara is not worried. For a person of his status, the university will undoubtedly hold him high and put him down gently. The scapegoat has already been found, that is Morimoto. The prosecutor's office is also very satisfied with this result.

After all, the university proactively provided a lot of evidence about Morimoto, which also facilitated their investigation and solving of the case quickly.

The subject of investigation is Kyoto University, so prosecutors will naturally be careful.

They not only want to find out a criminal and want an explanation, but they also don't want to involve too many aspects of the matter and make it too complicated.

After all, if we really want to launch a comprehensive public prosecution and investigation into such a top super-first-class university in Japan, the intricate network of power relationships behind it will inevitably make this criminal case a pawn for the big shots to criticize each other. No prosecutor is willing to do it himself

Become a bullet in someone else's hand.

Therefore, it is the best choice for the procuratorate to both arrest people and control the scope.

"Professor Okawara." A young female secretary wearing a black western dress walked over quickly with a stack of documents, carefully took out a form, unfolded it and showed it to the dean in front of him, "

This is the next cooperation with the Xichuan Machinery Factory project, so I would like to trouble you to confirm it."

"Okay." Ogawara lowered his head and glanced, as if he was approving the imperial decree. In less than a few seconds, he said: "Okay. I have read it, and there is no problem."

There are many things in this world that are decided in such a short moment, Ogawara thought.

The same goes for Morimoto.

He has pleaded guilty and accepted punishment. According to the prosecutor, cases of guilty plea and punishment go through court trials very quickly. From the opening to verifying the defendant's information to making a verdict, the entire process may not take more than 15 minutes. Yes, it is short.

In just 15 minutes, Morimoto will spend the next eight years in a prison cell.

The whole thing is unfair to Morimoto.

However, how many fair things are there in this world?

Fairness has never been the law of operation in this world. On the contrary, naked strength is.

Ants are destined to have the fate of sacrifice, and strong people can only become stronger if they need nourishment. This is the eternal law of this world.

Morimoto-kun, I'm so sorry.

"Is it gone?" Okawara raised his glasses and looked at the secretary in front of him and said.

"No, I'm really sorry to trouble you, Professor." The female secretary bowed slightly and was about to turn around and leave. However, she suddenly seemed to recall something, her face suddenly stiffened, and then her expression suddenly became hesitant. I don't know if it was...

It’s time to report what I just thought of to the powerful man in front of me.

"What's wrong?" Okawara noticed that the female secretary's expression was abnormal.

"I have something that I don't know whether I should say. I'm afraid it will disturb you."

"Say it."

Although the female secretary heard the professor's promise, she still swallowed her throat. After some struggle, she said: "There is... a lawyer who came to Kyoto University this morning and is waiting outside.

You. He has not made an appointment with you. Normally, in this case, we would refuse directly. But...but, he said that it was an important matter related to you, and he had to meet with you. As soon as we hesitated,...

Brought him here."

"Lawyer?" Okawara frowned. He has not met any lawyer friends recently. He probably doesn't know who hates him, so he hired a lawyer to trouble him. There is no way, when you stand with a

When you are at the peak of your field, every move you make will always offend others.

"Whose lawyer?" the famous professor from the Department of Engineering asked.

"He said... he was a defense lawyer named Morimoto." The female secretary looked at the registration form in her hand and replied, "This lawyer told us that he wanted to exercise the right of investigation and evidence collection granted to lawyers by the Criminal Procedure Law to...

…Apply to you and the Faculty of Engineering to obtain evidence proving Morimoto’s innocence.”

The moment the female secretary blurted out the word "Morimoto", these two words were like an iron rod hitting the dean of students in front of her.

Okawara's eyes suddenly widened a bit, and his body trembled unconsciously. When people face danger, they always have an almost instinctive reaction. At this moment, Okawara, who has been a scholar for many years, inexplicably smelled something.

A bit of a dangerous smell.

When he contacted Prosecutor Iwanaga before, in order to prevent Morimoto from hiring a lawyer to overturn the plea and punishment agreement in the future, Prosecutor Iwanaga told himself that if a defense lawyer came to the university to obtain evidence about Morimoto, the Faculty of Engineering

It is entirely possible to reject the lawyer's request.

Thinking of this, Ogawara couldn't help but calm down a little. Ants will always be ants and will never make waves. Ogawara sneered a little and said to his secretary, "Reject his request outright. Don't do this kind of thing in the future.

ask me."

"Yes! I'm so sorry, Professor! I let this kind of thing bother you." The female secretary quickly bent down and bowed.

Even though he held contempt for Morimoto, Okawara did not want to hear any news about Morimoto. No one would want to take the initiative to rummage through the trash can. No one would want to pick up a pair of disposable gloves that have been used.

Look, I don’t want to hear the name “Morimoto” anymore.

This name is like garbage that has been swept away. It is best to be completely buried in the corner of the prison and not let him come out to trouble himself and the Engineering Department again.

Ogawara was about to take a step forward. At this moment, a male voice suddenly sounded from behind:

"Professor Okawara. Let me introduce myself. I am Morimoto's defense lawyer Kitahara Giichi."

In the spacious corridor, the word "Morimoto" seemed particularly harsh, as if it was against the dean of the Faculty of Engineering. At the moment when he least wanted to hear these two words, this name happened to appear again.
Chapter completed!
