The club's financial officer knew Morimoto's account password, which was equivalent to the club actually borrowing his bank account number. Although the defense lawyer did not say this out loud, the meaning was already obvious. In this way, the prosecutor

The chain of evidence that led the agency to accuse Morimoto of embezzling company funds was once again broken.

Niwa was sitting in the gallery, looking at the figure in the court, and couldn't help but be stunned. Every time the prosecutor's office presented evidence, she felt as if the evidence was ironclad and irresistible. However, the Kitahara lawyer always

Being able to refute the so-called conclusive evidence time and time again.

Niyu felt as if he had seen magic. The lawyer named Kitahara was like a magician, always making possibilities where impossible, and the court was his stage. For some reason, Niyu was unconscious in his heart.

The ground also became excited.

Iwanaga's expression became uglier than ever before, as if a heavy rain cloud was covering his face. That annoying lawyer actually... actually allowed him to find an opportunity to take advantage of him again. The senior prosecutor's

His brows were already furrowed, and the word "displeasure" was clearly written on his face.

The female prosecutor named Chigako next to her was also speechless. This was the first time in her career as a prosecutor that she had seen two prosecutors forced to this point at the same moment.

However, even if they did not know how to respond, the two prosecutors had to bite the bullet and continue. The cross-examination in the court needed to continue. In the subsequent sessions, the lawyers and prosecutors specifically focused on the cumbersome accounting books in the criminal files.

The invoice vouchers went through a lengthy process of cross-examination and opinion release. The cross-examination on these account books was long and boring. By the time Morimoto's second evidence of corruption facts had been cross-examined, it was already 1:30 at noon.

The temperature increased at noon, and everyone in the courtroom couldn't help but look tired. They urgently needed a short break to regain their strength and continue the afternoon trial.

Judge Sakuma was on the stage, frowning, and then announced, "The investigation phase of the court is now suspended, and the court will be adjourned first. The court will resume at 2:30 in the afternoon."

"Click!"

The gavel clanged.

…

…

Sakyo Ward District Court, a fast food restaurant nearby.

After the trial, Kitahara, Miyagawa, Yuki, and Niwa quickly found a restaurant on the street and sat in an inconspicuous corner of the hall. The two lawyers who were sitting in the trial were eating Tang Yang chicken nuggets.

, while drinking a carbohydrate drink, he quickly replenished the large amount of brain power consumed by the court session.

"Really, so tired." Miyagawa looked tired and yawned unconsciously. In the end, the account book cross-examination session of the court investigation was basically completed by Miyagawa alone. These extremely detailed accounting vouchers were greatly consumed.

The energy of this female lawyer.

"Eat quickly, and then I should be able to spare about half an hour to get some sleep." Kitahara said, holding chopsticks and eating his rice. He knew that the workload in the past few days was already the limit for lawyers. From then on,

After receiving the commission from Ishimura, I had to complete the examination, interviews, legal research, document writing, etc. in less than two weeks. The time was too tight and the work intensity was extremely high.

Niwa held the menu next to him, called the waiter, and ordered two more desserts for the two lawyers who were sitting in court today.

Kithara gradually emptied his head, seizing every opportunity to recuperate and prepare for the fierce battle in the afternoon. The prosecutor's office accused Morimoto of a total of four facts of corruption. As prosecutors, they only need to establish one of the four facts to convict Morimoto.

.As defense lawyers, they must prove all four corruption facts before they can win the final victory.

However, just as Beiyuan was relaxing, Yuuki's voice suddenly sounded again.

The investigator from the Accounting Inspection Institute was sitting at the table. Although his expression was as usual, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes. "Lawyer Kitahara, Lawyer Miyagawa. I'm sorry to disturb you while you are eating and resting."

.I have some news that I need to tell you."

"What?" Beiyuan raised his head, "What happened."

Yuki shrugged helplessly and sighed, "Now the pressure on the Accounting Inspection Institute has increased again. The big shots above have already heard from them. The specific content is nothing more than saying, how can it be done just because of an audit?

The scientific research funds of the entire Faculty of Engineering at Kyoto University have been stopped. We must restore the normal use of scientific research funds as soon as possible."

"That means the previous stop payment order will be revoked soon?" Kitahara confirmed.

"Yes." Yuuki nodded, "And it's not just 'soon'. It's very likely that at 3 o'clock this afternoon, the scientific research funds of Kyoto University's Faculty of Engineering will resume normal disbursement. In other words, we

The only coercive measures that can be taken against the university will be lifted."

As soon as Yuki's words came out, there was a moment of silence at the dinner table.

The words of this female investigator revealed a very bad signal. The reason is very simple. If Morimoto is to be convicted, the prosecutor must find a scapegoat. In the case of a scapegoat, if he is really innocent,

If so, the prosecutor's office can choose to withdraw the prosecution against Morimoto and then arrest someone else. In this way, although there is a wrong case, it will not be too wrong.

However, at the moment, this signal of resuming the normal allocation of university funds may very well mean that the big shots at the top are not willing to spread this case to other people in the Faculty of Engineering, and only want to limit it to researchers like Morimoto. In this way, if the prosecutor

Because of the big shots at the top, the agency cannot expand the scope of the search, so they will not be able to find a scapegoat. Then, they will go all out to convict Morimoto.

Kitahara couldn't help but fall into thinking, thinking about every move of the superiors behind this case. The trial had just ended, and he didn't expect that although he had just gained a slight upper hand in the trial, a new problem arose on the Accounting Inspection Office's side.

.These unexpected storms are really one after another, one after another.

"Lawyer Kitahara, there is one more news I want to tell you." Yuuki said again, "During the court hearing in the morning, I went out to answer a phone call. Now, the Accounting Inspection Agency is considering whether to let me continue to serve as the auditor.

Investigator at Kyoto University.”

With a "pop" sound, Miyagawa's chopsticks fell on the table.

Miyagawa was stunned when he heard Yuki's words. Today and the last court hearing, the reason why they were able to fight back and forth with the prosecutor's office was largely because Yuki provided many
