Chapter 401 Gunsmoke

"Lawyer Kitahara, I hope you understand the position you are currently in." Ikegami showed a wicked smile, "Morimoto's incident has caused a lot of trouble to the university. Just because of his greed for petty gains, it resulted in Kyoto

Universities will now face more stringent scrutiny when applying for scientific research projects."

"Do you know how much trouble your client has caused to our university?" Ikegami continued, "Our university engineering department has not terminated its employment relationship because Morimoto was once a member of us. However, look at today's situation

Come on, not only do you not have a heart that is grateful to the university, but you also have some kind of crooked thoughts. Let your Morimoto touch his own conscience, is he worthy of the university by doing this?!"

"Oh." Kitahara sneered, "It turns out that in your opinion, coming to the university to collect evidence about the Morimoto case is a twisted idea. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of discovering the results of collecting evidence?

Morimoto turned out to be just a small fish, and there was actually a bigger fish hiding behind it."

"Shut up!!!" Hearing the words of the young male lawyer, Okawara's face turned fierce in an instant, "Lawyer Kitahara! I hope you pay attention! Don't slander the reputation of Kyoto University! Academic staff at Kyoto University

They all have extremely high professional standards and professional ethics. I hope you won’t make such nonsense without any basis!"

"In other words, Professor Okawara believes that a young researcher who has just arrived at Kyoto University for less than two years can quickly control dozens of industry-research joint ventures with ease, and then use his power for personal gain, embezzling scientific research funds and public funds. In addition to academic research, he also

Able to learn more than ten different ways to extract money from enterprises without any teacher."

"Everything was done by Morimoto alone. This is the real nonsense." Kitahara looked at the dean in front of him coldly, "For example, what you said just now is a typical example of nonsense."

"Do you think it's appropriate to arbitrarily insult my client during the negotiation? Lawyer Kitahara!" Ikegami heard the harsh sarcasm and immediately said loudly: "Or is this the attitude you usually have when dealing with the other client?"

"Insult?" Kitahara let out a cautious laugh, "Now the university's intention is very obvious, which is to put all the blame on my client. You want him to suffer up to 8 years in prison.

.Is this the behavior of the so-called first-class universities in Japan?!"

"I hope you can come up with strong evidence or clues before questioning the procuratorate's case handling results!" Iwanaga made a low, threatening voice next to him.

In the conference room, between two long tables, there were three people to one person.

Iwanaga, Ogawara, and Ikegami took turns refuting Kitahara's statement.

This most powerful university can not only invite the vice president of the Tokyo Bar Association to protect it, but also invite people from the prosecutor's office to come to the scene, which has demonstrated its power.

"Lawyer Kitahara, I still ask you not to forget that the university still retains the employment contract with Morimoto." Okawara's lenses reflected the light in the room and he said in an emotionless tone.

"To be honest, I don't care about the so-called employment contract between Morimoto and the university at all." Kitahara leaned on his chair and tapped his fingers on the table, "According to the law, if an employee commits a criminal offense, the employer can fire him. It's just that

, the violation of criminal offenses still awaits the judgment of the court, and it is currently just a suspected violation of criminal offenses. Therefore, you have not terminated Morimoto’s contract until today.”

"You are not what we call good intentions. It's just that no one dares to come out and take the first shot because of the inertia of people in large organizations who are afraid of taking responsibility. Therefore, you eagerly hope that Morimoto can plead guilty and accept punishment as soon as possible. As long as the court early

If Morimoto is found guilty, the university can expel Morimoto openly and cut off his relationship with the university."

"Didn't you say that you want to uphold national laws?" Kitahara's eyes immediately fell on the prosecutor again, "The corruption of the industry-research joint venture of the Ministry of Engineering, Science and Technology is obviously impossible to be completed by Morimoto alone. Faced with such ridiculous results, everyone

I just turned a blind eye, but today I actually helped the evildoers and fought on behalf of the university against the tribunal’s request to collect evidence.”

"It's not confrontation! It's just unnecessary!" Iwanaga frowned and said loudly. The young lawyer in front of him was more difficult to deal with than Iwanaga had imagined.

These lawyers will always only cause trouble for the prosecutorial work!

Iwanaga immediately turned around and looked at Okawara, and they both reached a consensus on the stubbornness of the lawyer in front of him. Iwanaga felt that he must give the lawyer in front of him a shot. If the prosecutor's office can handle the case at will,

Being questioned, then where is the dignity of national law?! In the future, cats and dogs can challenge the majesty of national law!

Iwanaga said directly: "Let me just tell you this. Even if the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University refuses the notice of evidence collection from the Sakyo District District Court today, there will be no adverse consequences. Moreover, I will also tell you today's

The behavior was reported to Sakuma, the referee of this case. Even though the defendant pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, he still tried to collect evidence to overturn the plea and punishment agreement. How do you think the referee will view your client and you, the lawyer!"

Next to him, Ikegami's expression became even more unscrupulous, "Yes, Kitahara-kun. It's a pity that the Criminal Procedure Law does not stipulate any consequences for refusing to obtain evidence. Today, we at Kyoto University want to reject your rude intrusion."

Certificate requirements, what do you want?"

As Chishang talked, he couldn't help laughing.

Next to him, the corners of Ogawara's mouth also turned up slightly.

The conference room echoed with disgusting laughter, even if it involved eight full years of life. The university people present could still make the decision without caring.

Yes, you lawyers are useless.

Now even the law does not stipulate the rights of your client, so how do you still protect the rights of your client?

"You will regret it." Beihara looked at the three people in front of him and said, "You will regret it because you did not cooperate with the court in collecting evidence today."

"Lawyer Kitahara, you really know how to joke. Then tell me how I will regret it." After Okawara's emergency training at noon, he already knew that refusing to cooperate with the investigation and evidence collection would not have any negative consequences for him. Since

If so, then why is there any need to do such a thing? "Tell me, what on earth will I regret?"

The young lawyer opposite heard this provocation and suddenly fell silent for some reason and did not reply. Everyone in the conference room suddenly became more arrogant. After about 5 minutes, Iwanaga looked at the silent appearance of the lawyer in front of him.

, already knowing that he could not use any more tricks, he said without any scruples: "Please go back, you are not welcome here.".

Beiyuan was still sitting on the chair, raised his hand to pick up the paper cup, and slowly sipped the hot tea inside.

“The tea here is really good.”

"Didn't you hear what I said? Please come back!!!" Iwanaga emphasized his tone.

Beiyuan yawned greatly, then stretched again, raised his hand to look at his watch, looked at the people present, and said suddenly and coldly: "She will be here soon. I have told you, you will regret it.

"

The incomprehensible words stunned everyone present.

Is she coming?

Who is this talking about?

Iwanaga didn't know where this Kitahara was for a moment, and couldn't help but become confused.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the conference room door. After a vague exclamation from the female secretary, the doorknob of the conference room door turned with a "click".

A woman in her thirties who was also wearing a gray suit walked into the room with a dusty look. She was holding a large black box in her hand. She glanced at everyone in the room, then walked briskly to Beiyuan and sat down next to her.

.The big box was opened, and a portable printer and laptop computer were set up in less than 1 minute, showing the woman's resoluteness.

"Wait! Who are you! We are in a meeting now. No unauthorized persons are allowed in!" Ogawara stood up immediately when he saw the woman who suddenly barged in.

"Me." The woman in a gray suit took out a badge with the word "Detection" engraved on it from her pocket and wore it on her chest.

The moment Okawara saw the word "inspection", his expression suddenly changed. He knew that this was the symbol of the Accounting Inspection Institute. As a university management, he had already dealt with numerous auditing agencies. How could he not know this?

It’s the badge of the Accounting Inspection Institute! The most troublesome and worrying thing about handling large and small scientific research projects is to deal with the audits of the Accounting Inspection Institute. I don’t know how many university presidents and deans have fallen into the hands of the Accounting Inspection Institute.

.

In an instant, as if a natural enemy appeared in the room, Ogawara held his breath unconsciously.

Iwanaga was shocked when he saw that the woman who suddenly barged in was actually the Accounting Inspection Agency, and she was sitting next to Kitahara. The lawyer in front of him... how on earth... how did he get into the Accounting Inspection Agency?

This line. Wait! If the Accounting Inspection Service intervenes in this lawsuit, there is no doubt that the situation will become more complicated than ever.

"Hello everyone here, I am the investigator Toyoko Yuki of the Fourth Bureau of the General Bureau of Accounting and Inspection. I heard that your Kyoto University is not willing to cooperate with this lawyer's investigation and evidence collection?" Yuki asked with a smile.

"A defendant who has already signed a plea and accepted punishment has to come here to collect evidence. Investigator Yuuki, do you think this is reasonable?!" Iwanaga is not afraid of the so-called Accounting Inspection Agency because he knows the so-called audit agency

, and has no investigative powers.

"In other words, he just doesn't want to cooperate, right?" Yuuki still maintained a smiley expression.

Ogawara frowned and said nothing. He just sat there, neither denying nor admitting.

"I understand." Yuuki then tapped the keyboard a few times. Immediately after, the portable printer received the printing signal, and the ink cartridges immediately started to print continuously. A legal document with the seal of the Accounting Inspection Office was printed.

.

Yuki held this document and smiled: "The Accounting Inspection Office does not have many coercive powers. One of them is to seal accounting information, and the other is to issue a stop payment order. Today, you Kyoto University are lucky. This year

The first stop payment order is issued to you."

Yuuki immediately raised the legal document in front of him.

All I saw was a very eye-catching request written on it - "The Academic Promotion Committee shall stop paying any scientific research funds to the Faculty of Engineering, Kyoto University."

This bold boldface immediately struck Okawara's eyeballs. How is it possible! If the Academic Promotion Committee suddenly stops trying to stop paying scientific research funds to the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University, what kind of chaotic consequences will it cause! This is unprecedented absurdity.

thing!

"Wait!" Okawara stood up immediately and said, "Investigator Yuuki, I don't know what's going on with you. I don't know whether your so-called Accounting Inspection Agency has the right to cut off our scientific research funds. However,

How can such a major thing be done in such a childish way!!"

"We are just treating you with the same attitude that the university treats Morimoto." Kitahara's voice sounded lightly. I don't know when he stood up from his seat and looked at Okawara in front of him, "I just said

I told you, you will regret it."

[At 4:23 p.m., the Accounting Inspection Service issued a stop payment order. The Academic Promotion Committee was asked to stop distributing scientific research funds to 15 departments including the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department, Information Science Department, and Industrial Chemistry Department of the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University]
