Chigako's overwhelming attack repeatedly refuted the defendant's lawyer's defense.

The pressure pouring in like a storm made Miyagawa feel out of breath. Facing an agency with public power, the weak position of criminal defense lawyers was clearly exposed. As long as the four corruption facts charged by the prosecutor,

If one of the items is established, Morimoto will be convicted.

Until this moment, Miyagawa realized more deeply what kind of high wall was in front of her - a high wall that was almost insurmountable and despairing.

The senior university officials in the gallery couldn't help but smile when they saw the situation being tightened by the prosecutor's office. The Accounting and Inspection Service's stop-payment order against the university's Faculty of Engineering has been officially revoked, and the operation of scientific research funds has returned to normal. That is called closure.

Although the hated investigator of the city is still in Kyoto, his official position has been revoked. It seems that everyone now understands that everything is caused by this researcher named Morimoto. He is unwilling to be convicted, so he wants to

It's just an act to drag more people into the water.

Ishimura sat in the seat and covered his eyes with trembling hands. He bent down and did not dare to look at the scene in the court. As Morimoto's newlywed wife, every word of the prosecutor was tantamount to a punch.

The hammer was hitting her heart.

The entire court became extremely quiet. The evidence presented by the prosecutor was like an unbreakable chain, locking Morimoto tightly. In the interlocking chain of evidence, there seemed to be no room for argument.

.

Chigako looked at the expression of the female lawyer opposite, then looked at the silent lawyer Kitahara, and smiled softly. Sure enough, the defense lawyer opposite was in a terrible state without the help of the Accounting Inspection Bureau.

hit.

Lawyers who are ignorant and incompetent and who only want to exonerate criminals will eventually be defeated by the right path.

However, at this moment, a male voice suddenly broke the silence of the courtroom.

At the defense table, the young male lawyer stood up again, straightening his tie slightly, with a strange smile on his face that contained a hint of terrifying murderous intent.

"Defender, make the following cross-examination comments on the evidence presented by the prosecutor."

Without the help of the Accounting Inspectorate, you are still trying to counterattack?! For some reason, Chigako felt a tremor in her heart and couldn't help but squeeze the materials in her hands. It was clear that the other party no longer had the assistance of the Accounting Inspectorate, but this female prosecutor actually

I was still shocked by the aura of this lawyer. The other party was just such a young lawyer, but why? In front of him, I... I was like a prey without the ability to resist.

The next second, Kitahara's voice sounded, "The so-called proof of Morimoto's authority as an expert presented by the prosecutor is only an internal meeting document of the Kyoto City Hall. If we say that Morimoto is really entrusted with the corresponding approval powers,

, then at least three conditions should be met: first, it must go through formal organizational personnel procedures; second, it must have corresponding appointment documents; third, it must have formal and determined job responsibilities."

"The so-called minutes of the meeting produced by the prosecutor's office are neither a formal document regarding the determination of the authority of the expert present, nor a formal discussion process for organizing personnel procedures. Such a discussion document is used to determine Morimoto's role as the expert present.

The review and approval authority it has is obviously insufficiently based.”

After hearing this, Chigako immediately stood up and retorted, "Whether it is a formal document or an informal document, the important thing is the content of the document itself. The contents of the two meeting minutes clearly show that the science and technology of the City Hall

The Promotion Committee has essentially handed over the power of approving subsidies for precision machinery procurement to the experts present. Regarding this content, no matter how much the defense lawyers argue, they cannot deny it!"

The female prosecutor showed the contents of two minutes of the meeting in court.

The black and white words on the paper clearly stated that the city hall had handed over the approval authority for purchasing subsidies to the experts present.

In the face of the fierceness of the female prosecutor, Kitahara's expression remained calm. He just picked up the meeting minutes presented by the prosecution, pointed to the contents above and said, "Please pay attention to the chief referee's remarks about the Finance Office in the meeting minutes."

Approval authority. The minutes of the first meeting also stated that the Finance Office must also review the authenticity of the project information. In the minutes of the second meeting, the approval authority of the Finance Office was modified."

"What does this mean?" Beihara walked around in the court, "In other words, the so-called 'approval authority' determined in the meeting minutes is not the final and definite approval authority. It is just the result of a discussion.

In other words, if the prosecution only produced the first meeting minutes today, then the authority for review and approval is actually the responsibility of both the experts present and the Finance Office. But now the second meeting minutes only give the authority for review and approval.

The experts present.”

"So -" Kitahara continued, "How can we be sure whether there are any minutes of the third meeting, minutes of the fourth meeting, minutes of the fifth meeting? Maybe it is in the minutes of the third meeting, about the experts present.

The approval authority has been modified again. Perhaps in the minutes of the fifth meeting, the approval authority of the experts present will be completely cancelled.”

"If the prosecution wants to use the meeting minutes to prove Morimoto's approval authority as the expert present, then it should retrieve all the meeting minutes and discussion records of the City Hall, and use the expert's authority determined in the last meeting minutes.

Until the prosecution provides complete minutes of the meeting, the so-called discussion on the approval authority of the present expert is only to be determined, and is not the final determined authority of the present expert!"

The judges on the bench couldn't help but nodded slightly when they heard Kitahara's words. Judge Zuo Kuma then looked at the prosecutor's seat, "What the defender said makes sense. Prosecutor's Office, you are going to Kyoto City Hall.

Is there any problem in retrieving all the minutes of the meeting regarding subsidies for precision machinery and equipment?”

"Okay... okay, chief referee." Chigako replied with a rather stiff expression. She did not expect that the chain of evidence that was being arranged would be broken through a big hole again in the blink of an eye.

However, retrieve all meeting minutes.

How is this possible?

How could the city hall be willing to hand it over! Originally, the precision machinery purchase subsidy project was a controversial subsidy project in Kyoto. It received some opposition from the business community, who believed that the project unfairly treated companies that lacked financial resources to purchase precision machinery.

In addition to this corruption scandal, the City Hall was originally unwilling to provide any documents. Today, the City Hall is willing to provide two internal meeting minutes, which is already a full-scale help.

If all meeting minutes are provided, if there are some sensitive discussions involved, it is estimated that there will be a big backlash in public opinion.
