The East has become increasingly unstable recently.

Kitahara was leaning on the chair in the hotel room, watching the TV and listening to the news broadcast by the female host. The screen was showing pictures of people fleeing in all directions. Just now, a shooting incident occurred in a city in Japan. This was under the implementation of "

It is an extremely rare scene in Japan controlled by the "Gun Sword Law".

On the news screen, citizens looked terrified after hearing gunshots, while the scrolling subtitles below showed financial news about the rise of the Nikkei index. The combination of the two created an extremely huge sense of tearing. On one side were citizens running away.

, and on the other side is the stock market that continues to thrive. This world seems to have formed a unique absurdity. Once you open your eyes and look at these places, you will find that daily life is actually full of weirdness, and you can never go back to it.

That state of being blindfolded before.

Kitahara looked at the news, and for some reason a strong sense of foreboding enveloped his heart. From the sudden shooting incident, to Niwa being threatened by a letter in the hotel, to Investigator Yuki from the Accounting Inspection Service.

He was dismissed from his position, including the fact that he was inexplicably subject to criminal measures by the Kyoto police.

Speaking of it, everything I have experienced so far seems to have a hidden and huge force behind it, which is going to turn the supposedly peaceful life into chaos.

On the TV screen, the female host nervously followed the latest situation at the scene. The program bullet box floating next to it showed that the shooter used a homemade gun, but the ammunition used to fire it came from unknown sources. The gun was only made from

Sufficient equipment is required, but a bullet is absolutely impossible to manufacture without chemical raw materials and corresponding mixing formulas.

Beiyuan smelled a hint of danger from it.

If this kind of thing happened in Kyoto...

This is not impossible.

The other party can have powerful means to forcibly replace Yuki. So, if you push the other party into a hurry, it may be very possible that you will be suddenly knocked down by a black gun while walking on the street one day.

In short, you must be prepared for the worst.

Prepare for the worst-case scenario

Kitahara looked at the bathroom in the guest room. The guest room he was staying in now was the guest room where Niyu was threatened. Could the person who threatened Niyu also walked into the room with a gun and pointed it at him?

?

A "swish" sound.

Beiyuan walked to the bed and opened the curtains.

The dazzling sunlight shone in, immediately illuminating the previously dark guest room.

Kitahara raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was already 8:46. Today is Morimoto's third trial on corruption charges, which was set for 9:30. A week has passed since the last hearing. Kitahara's phone vibrated.

, showing the message sent by Miyagawa. She is waiting for her in the hotel lobby and can leave for the tribunal at any time...

…

…

9:15, Sakyo Ward District Court.

Iwanaga and other prosecutors are already sitting at the prosecutor's seat. The senior prosecutor is flipping through pre-trial preparation materials in preparation for today's trial.

At this time, he saw Kitahara and lawyer Miyagawa also coming to the court, opening the wooden fence and walking into the defense seat. The corners of Iwanaga's mouth turned up unconsciously.

Iwanaga has long been informed that Yuuki has been removed as the investigating officer of the Accounting Inspection Agency. Although Yuki is still in the role of temporary investigating officer, in fact many of his powers are no longer able to be exercised. In other words, at present, the Accounting Inspection Agency

There is no way to collect evidence for the defense lawyer on the other side.

Moreover, while the opponent's strength is reduced, one's own strength is also increased.

Today’s court hearing not only received full assistance from Kyoto University, but also the city hall. Because Morimoto’s last corruption fact involved defrauding city hall subsidies. Therefore, the Kyoto City Hall is also willing to help today’s court hearing.

The trial was conducted with all one's strength.

In this way, the situation on both sides has been reversed.

Even if the enemy is gone, I won't grow long, but I can still win by one son.

However, now that the enemy is weakening and we are growing stronger, the outcome of the period is even more obvious!

At this time, the court clock has reached 9:30. The judges on the trial bench have finished taking their seats, and the clerk has also checked the identities of the people present.

Judge Zuo Jiuma sat in the middle of the courtroom, looked around, then raised his gavel and smashed it against the wooden seat.

"Card!"

"Morimoto is guilty of corruption. This court is holding its third public hearing today. The court investigation continues. Last time, all parties have presented evidence and cross-examined the third corruption fact accused by the prosecutor's office. Now we will proceed to the fourth corruption fact.

During the evidence investigation phase, the prosecutor continues to present evidence.”

Listening to the judge's instructions, Iwanaga sneered and said in a deep voice to Chigako next to him, "Let today's trial become the graveyard of the other party's defense lawyer!"

Chigako nodded heavily, then straightened up, stood up, and walked into the court. The whole scene seemed to instantly return to the scene where the female prosecutor read out the indictment during the first trial. There was a wave of excitement.

An awe-inspiring heroic spirit emanated from Chigako.

The female prosecutor could only be heard saying loudly: "The prosecutor's office is now presenting evidence on Morimoto's fourth corruption fact. In order to encourage the transformation and upgrading of enterprises in the city, the Kyoto City Hall has set up a subsidy project for the purchase of precision machinery and equipment. The project was announced with

Catalog of subsidies for precision machinery and equipment. Companies that purchase precision equipment produced within the scope of Kyoto Prefecture and located in this catalog can apply to the city hall to obtain subsidies for purchasing equipment and reduce production costs."

"Among them, Kyoto Prefecture has set up an audit procedure to prevent the purchasing company from reselling the subsidized equipment. That is, after an audit by experts hired by Kyoto Prefecture, it is determined that the company has real production projects and needs to use the precision equipment in the directory.

Subsidies can be provided. Among them, the defendant Morimoto is one of the experts hired by Kyoto Prefecture."

"Kumada Tachimoto Machinery Co., Ltd. is a company located in Kyoto Prefecture that sells precision equipment. Adachi Information Technology Co., Ltd. is a precision equipment sales company located in Chiba Prefecture. The defendant Morimoto knowingly knew that Adachi Information Technology Co., Ltd.

Even if the sales of precision machinery and equipment occur in Chiba Prefecture, the relevant equipment sales will still be invoiced in the name of Kumada Tachimoto Machinery Co., Ltd."

"In other words, the defendant Morimoto disguised the sales of precision equipment that occurred in Chiba Prefecture as the sales that occurred in Kyoto Prefecture, thereby assisting a large number of equipment purchasing companies to declare subsidies to Kyoto Prefecture. The defendant Morimoto adopted this method

, illegally obtained subsidies from the city hall and misappropriated the total amount of subsidies."

"Morimoto's behavior has constituted a crime of corruption. He embezzled state subsidies, hindered the implementation of relevant industrial policies, harmed the interests of those companies that actually produce and sell precision machinery in Kyoto, disrupted the market order, and seriously violated the sacred authority granted by the state.
