Chapter 144 The Bright and Righteous Path
When Ogawara heard the voice behind him, he suddenly trembled and turned around immediately. What caught his eye was a young man wearing a gray suit. The scale and sunflower seal on his coat clearly showed that he was a young man.
A lawyer. The moment Okawara saw him, he was stunned.
This lawyer is very young. Judging from his appearance, he seems to have just graduated from college for two years. However... However...
Okawara felt a sense of disharmony. His intuition was telling him for some reason that something was wrong with this young man, and something very wrong. The lights in the side passages of the auditorium emitted a faint yellow light. Under this situation, Okawara could not
I could clearly see the young man's demeanor. However, the aura reflected in his movements seemed to clearly tell the dean that this lawyer was dangerous.
Okawara frowned slightly, looked at the young lawyer in front of him, and suppressed this strange intuition in his heart. The other person was just a kid who had just graduated, and it was impossible to cause too much trouble. Maybe he had been too busy recently.
I'm so tired that I was shocked by such a brat.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Ogawara's lips.
The female secretary next to her was so frightened that she turned pale when she saw Kitahara. After all, whether intentionally or unintentionally, letting in someone who the dean did not want to see is definitely a major administrative mistake. The female secretary said with a trembling voice
: "Kita...Lawyer Kitahara, it is not convenient for our school to entertain you."
Beiyuan stretched out his hand, straightened his tie a little, and smiled, "It's not convenient to receive you, or you don't want to receive me."
The young lawyer did not choose to get entangled with the secretary, but took a direct step forward and stood in front of Okawara. The expression on his face was unusually calm, not at all because he was standing in front of a big shot in the field of Japanese engineering.
There was a hint of nervousness or timidity. On the contrary, he showed a kind of relaxation, as if he and Ogawara were equals.
Okawara's expression became more displeased, and his voice rose slightly as he said: "I understand the law. I know that according to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, the university can refuse the so-called lawyer's investigation. In other words,
The law does not give you the right to force us to cooperate with you!"
Okawara knew about this legal provision because Prosecutor Iwanaga had trained him.
Kitahara sneered, "I'm afraid, the professor still doesn't know the second half of this law. That is - lawyers can apply to the court to obtain evidence. If the court agrees, the relevant legal persons, organizations and individuals must cooperate with the court to issue
instructions."
Kitahara slowly opened the zipper of his briefcase and took out a piece of A4 paper with the seal of the Sakyo District District Court. There were several eye-catching Chinese characters printed on it - "Notice of Obtaining Evidence".
"The Sakyo District District Court has approved my application for evidence collection and issued a notice for collection of evidence. According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, Kyoto University must cooperate truthfully." Kitahara said with a faint smile.

"What should I do? What should I do?! The other party has come directly to the university!" Okawara anxiously paced back and forth in a private room. The interior of the private room was luxuriously decorated, and an ukiyo-e painting was hung on the wall.
, and there are exquisitely crafted imported ceramics next to it. This is a hidden high-end hotel within Kyoto University.
In the box, two figures were sitting.
One of the figures is Iwanaga, the prosecutor in charge of the Morimoto corruption case. The other figure is Ikegami, the vice president of the Tokyo District Bar Association.
Ever since Okawara met the young lawyer near noon, and the lawyer also showed him the legal documents from the court, no matter how calm he was, Okawara still felt a little panicked. He immediately called Prosecutor Iwanaga.
I made a phone call and also used connections to find Ikegami, the vice president of the Tokyo Bar Association who happened to be staying in Kyoto recently, and held an urgent meeting in the afternoon to discuss a solution.
"Please rest assured, professor. He is just an unlearned blackmail lawyer." Ikegami picked up the sake glass and took a sip, "I know this Kitahara very well. In the past, he only relied on luck to get to where he is today. In order to repay
He has huge debts and keeps filing blackmail lawsuits. Now, I don’t know what’s wrong with his head, and he actually targets my alma mater for blackmail. As a former student of Peking University, I will definitely not tolerate this situation.
"
Listening to Ikegami's words, Ogawara stopped pacing, pulled out a chair and sat down, "But Barrister Ikegami. I just heard that he was also the plaintiff's attorney in the previous ancient book plagiarism case! And...
...He also defeated Utsunomiya, our law professor at Kyoto University. If he really sets his sights on me, then I must take it seriously."
Listening to Okawara's words, Ikegami coughed and showed a little embarrassment, and then his expression quickly returned to normal, "Yes, he did win these blackmail cases by some luck before. But now it is a criminal case. Criminal cases and
There is a fundamental difference in civil cases. It involves the seriousness of a country's national laws. It is absolutely impossible for the chief judge to still act randomly."
"I think it would be better to let Prosecutor Iwanaga, who has extensive experience in public prosecutions, introduce the specific situation." Ikegami turned to look at the prosecutor beside him.
Iwanaga nodded slightly and said, "Professor Okawara, don't worry too much. This lawyer is also lucky. When he applied to the court to obtain evidence, it happened to be that the chief referee of the case, Judge Sakuma, was on vacation. So a temporary substitute referee
The official made the decision to approve the application on behalf of Sakuma."
"The magistrate did not notice that this case was a plea and punishment case. If he had noticed that the defendant had already pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, it would have been impossible for him to agree to the defendant's lawyer's application for certiorari. This was completely an attempt to overturn the case."

It’s impossible to shut the other party out. Many matters in industry-research joint ventures are confidential. If such an outsider can still access them at will, how can Kyoto University’s research be carried out?”
Iwanaga sneered and said, "Don't worry, Professor, the other party is just scaring you."
"What's the explanation? After all, the other party has the documents from the court." Okawara couldn't help but ask.
"Any legal provision can only be considered a deterrent if it has penalties." Iwanaga said: "The so-called penalties are adverse legal consequences. For example, if you drive through a red light, you will be deducted points and fined. Among them
Deductions and fines are penalties. If the law only stipulates that running a red light is prohibited, but does not stipulate any penalties. Then, even if you run a red light, there will not be any adverse consequences. In this case, the so-called
The ban is just empty words, just to scare people."
Iwanaga smiled proudly, "This is the case in the Criminal Procedure Law. Although the law stipulates that the tribunal can obtain evidence from legal persons, group organizations, and individuals, we have the obligation to cooperate truthfully. However, the Criminal Procedure Law does not
Provide penalties for not cooperating in the collection of evidence. That is, even if we do not provide any evidence to the lawyer, we will not suffer adverse consequences."
"In other words, the so-called cooperation in collecting evidence is just a piece of paper." Iwanaga's voice sounded in the private room.
Ikegami nodded, and also showed a slightly lewd smile, "In that case, Headmaster, we can give Morimoto's defense lawyer a hard time and make him understand that the so-called overturned verdict is not true.
