"The situation that day was like this." Qianda straightened his waist slightly and said, "I had experimental data for a paper that needed to be sorted out, and the workstations in the doctoral student office were all full. So I had to hug myself.

I found a classroom in the biology department building with my laptop and some related notebooks to work on.”

"About 1 o'clock at noon, I suddenly saw a lot of professors, about 7 or 8 of them. I don't remember the specific number clearly, so I walked into the classroom. I was shocked. Because among these professors

Many of them are famous professors in the university, which are not easy to see. I don’t know why they suddenly came into this classroom.”

"Immediately afterwards, I saw Senior Sister Mikiko from our department also coming in. Sister Mikiko is a senior I admire very much. Her academic level is very high, and her tutor and I are both Professor Muraki. Professor Muraki said to me

Many times, I have to learn from Senior Sister Mikiko."

"At that time, I thought this classroom was going to hold seminars or something. But -" Chida's expression tightened slightly, as if he was shocked by something, "Next

, I saw Senior Sister Mikiko sitting with those professors. One of the leading professors directly announced that they would investigate Senior Sister Mikiko’s plagiarism of the paper.”

"After I heard it, I felt very, very shocked." Qianda opened his mouth slightly and pressed his chest with his right hand, as if he was recreating the scene at that time.

This girl's voice was filled with some kind of strange emotion. She was obviously just telling the general facts at the time, but it was invisibly stretching out threads to affect the emotions of the listeners in the court. Many observers were unknowingly

Among them, it seems that I also fell into the scene described by Chida.

"Senior Sister Mikiko, as I said just now, is a person I admire very much." Chida's voice continued, "I really can't imagine that she would be involved in something like academic misconduct. I am really extremely disappointed.

I hope this is all a mistake. Because they are investigating, but these professors and Senior Sister Mikiko don’t seem to mind the presence of other students in the classroom. I am also afraid that my rash actions will interfere with their investigation, so I stay in my seat.

above."

"The professors of the investigation team started out very formally, just like today's court. They announced a lot of rules at the beginning. Later, they asked Senior Sister Mikiko many questions one after another, all of which involved some details of paper writing.

The entire investigation process lasted from about 1 o'clock to about 5 o'clock. At the end, I saw Senior Sister Mikiko with red eyes, apologizing to the professors in the investigation team, admitting that her paper was plagiarized, and saying that she would submit a paper in the evening.

A review.”

"I was really surprised when I saw this scene." Qianda bit her lips slightly, showing an expression of feeling sorry for others, "I remember that at the beginning of the investigation, these professors told Senior Sister Mikiko that the results of the investigation may be

It will lead to the revocation of her doctorate, not just the retraction of the paper. To be honest, I really, really don’t want this result to happen. It is not easy to get a doctorate. I don’t know why Sister Mikiko would do it.

This kind of stupid thing, I hope this is really not true."

Chida's voice fell.

Her testimony perfectly put forward the argument against Kitahara and the others.

Kitahara and the others believed that the investigation team's investigation transcript did not reflect that they informed Mikiko that the investigation would lead to the revocation of her doctorate, so Mikiko's personal defense opportunity was actually insufficient and deprived.

Chida's testimony perfectly blocked this point.

"Defendant's attorney, do you have any questions for the witness?" Judge Kawada turned to look at the other side of the courtroom.

Asakura Hiko showed a rather proud smile, as if he was extremely satisfied with Chida's testimony, and answered directly: "Chief referee, the defendant's attorney has no problem with Chida's testimony. Chida's testimony can show that the university has launched an investigation into Mikiko

The procedures complied with all procedural requirements, and the potential consequences of the investigation procedures for Mikiko have been informed."

"Plaintiff's attorney, do you have any questions for the witnesses?" Judge Kawada looked at the plaintiff's seat.

Judge Kawada's voice fell.

A moment of silence followed.

Kitahara frowned slightly. The Kyoto University in front of him had already laid out a trick that could not break the situation. Did the investigation team inform Mikiko that her doctorate might be revoked? If Chida insists that she heard it, then almost in the witness testimony

No breakthrough could be made in substantive cross-examination. The other party really presented a difficult problem.

Kitahara was fully aware of the danger of the situation before him.

It is difficult to overturn the substantive issue of academic misconduct in a paper.

However, if even the factual investigation on procedural issues cannot be clearly determined, then there is no doubt that the safest way for the judge is to dismiss the lawsuit on the basis of insufficient evidence.

Now, the problem really comes.

Miyagawa was the first to stand up, "Chief referee. We, the plaintiff's attorney, would like to draw the attention of the collegial court to the fact that there was a personal conflict between the witnesses Chida and Mikiko. The year before last, the two parties had an issue due to a power outage due to the cell material of the refrigerator.

There were quarrels and physical conflicts about the incident. The witness Chida had a personal grudge against Mikiko, and his respect and admiration for Mikiko was definitely not what he said!"

"Chief Judge." Asakura Hiko immediately fired back, "The court please note that in the footnote acknowledgment of the plagiarized paper, the name of the witness Chida is included. In other words, Mikiko's paper was deemed to be plagiarized, but in fact it would also

It has had a certain negative impact on the research team and Chida. It can be said that the witness Chida is willing to stand up today regardless of these negative impacts, which in turn highlights the credibility of his witness testimony!"

At this time, Qianda also turned around and said, "In fact, I have already reconciled this quarrel with Senior Sister Mikiko over the refrigerator. Afterwards, we both apologized to each other, and we even went to an izakaya for a late-night snack and took photos.

Group photo. Actually, Lawyer Miyagawa, you should also know about the friendship between girls. The friendship between girls will inevitably have bumps and bumps, but after the bumps and bumps, the friendship between the two parties will become stronger.

deep."

Qianda blinked her eyes, which seemed to reveal a kind of simple innocence and innocence, exuding a pitiful and pitiful temperament that made people feel loving.

A woman who is extremely good at disguising.

In addition, it has been trained by the other party's top lawyer.

It's like teaching a vixen the spell to exorcise demons.

How to break this situation?

There is only one step away from the cliff of the abyss.
