So what if I make a mistake.

It’s all a fait accompli, is it possible that we still need to ask you to start the construction again?!

Hamano's rhetorical question shows the logic that those in power will always remain invincible.

When Miyagawa heard these words, he did not expect such a response from the other party. The beautiful lawyer clenched her fists, and the sense of justice in her heart made the normally gentle woman feel angry.

However, despite the anger in his heart, the wily Hamano did grasp the key point.

Any judicial case must ultimately resolve the issue.

Rather than simply judging right or wrong.

You can argue that it is legal, or you can argue that it is illegal.

But the problem is that after evaluating whether the behavior of the parties is in compliance with the law, a ruling that can solve the problem must be given.

Just like this bidding fraud case. Indeed, you can say that the Shinjuku City Hall violated the law. But, what then? Even if the Tokyo Metropolitan Finance Office rules that it is illegal, what is the use?

Are you asking for a new bid?

The project has ended long ago and construction is complete.

You said that the other party was conveying benefits and won the bid illegally?

But judging from the results, there are really no big problems with the project provided by the other party.

You said you want those involved in related fraud to be punished?

Sampling personnel, laboratories and other aspects are all outsourced by the Shinjuku City City Hall. It is also difficult to hold specific personnel accountable.

Yes, you can say City Hall is wrong.

But the question is, what's the point?

Hamano's words may seem like strong words and pure sophistry to those who are not familiar with the law. However, the questions raised by Hamano are real problems for those who are trying the case. Tokyo

The Metropolitan Finance Department cannot ask for everything to be overthrown and restarted.

"Lawyer Hamano, what you mean is that the Shinjuku City Hall does not need to bear any responsibility after making a mistake, right?" Miyagawa almost said this through gritted teeth, his finger joints shaking slightly from the exertion.

white.

"Lawyer Miyagawa." Hamano smiled and said, "Mistake? Responsibility? Then please tell me, what are the consequences of the mistakes made by our city hall? Was it the selection of a supplier that was qualified in all aspects? Was it the quality of the building?

Excellent modern sports facilities? Which of these 'consequences' is a bad consequence? If there are no bad consequences, then why should we be held responsible?"

The public lawyer's voice echoed in the conference room.

Many city hall officials never imagined that their lawyers could be so powerful.

He was able to turn an unfavorable situation around abruptly.

At this time, everyone's attention fell on the applicant of the administrative ruling again, to see if the two young lawyers could still rebut.

The atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly solemn.

Also in the audience were President Hamanaka and other business owners who applied for this administrative ruling.

This solemnity is not caused by the tense atmosphere of the case trial.

It's the kind of realization that is almost despairing of reality.

At this moment, Beiyuan stood up. The relaxed expression on his face was incompatible with the solemn atmosphere in the conference room. The young male lawyer walked forward slowly, facing everyone's gaze.

At this moment, he was like an ancient warrior guarding a closed door, leading a lone army to resist the tide of enemies.

All I heard was that Beihara said: "The robber robbed other people's money. According to your logic, the total wealth of society will not increase or decrease. I can also look up to the sky like Lawyer Hamano and ask, where are the bad consequences? Yes!

Yes, what are the bad consequences of robbery? It’s just that one part of the money is transferred to another part, and the total wealth remains unchanged. What are the bad consequences?!”

Kitahara's self-question and answer suddenly sounded like a cannon exploding on the battlefield, "Lawyer Hamano said that the final quality inspection of the ecological runway was qualified, and the city hall's bid evaluation was correct, so he said that there would be no bad consequences."

"It's because your city hall colluded with the supplier that won the bid. Whether there will be bad consequences will be evaluated based on whether your interests are damaged. Lawyer Hamano, isn't your logic funny?"

The male lawyer did not speak very fast.

So that everyone in the conference room could clearly hear every word he said.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the deliberately slowed down speech contains a sarcastic tone.

There seemed to be a hidden power in this male lawyer's words.

It was obviously just two short sentences, but it instantly pierced the logic of Hamano's questioning.

"You want to hear the bad consequences?" Kitahara picked up a newspaper.

Everyone present was confused.

"Thanks to Shinjuku City, the company that won the bid for the eco-runway this time was included in the supplier list of the Tokyo Metropolitan Municipal Engineering Project because it undertook the eco-runway project. Subsequently, the company that won the bid successively undertook the project of three-dimensional high-rise gardens in the city.

Elevator project. What happened? The result was that within three months, five consecutive stalling and falling accidents occurred in the elevators they supplied."

Kitahara pointed to the headline of the news paper.

In eye-catching large letters on the page, it reads: "Electrical Engineering Yonghe Club has had five consecutive elevator accidents in three months."

Below are photos of the accident.

The bloody scene was obscured by mosaics.

There is also a bold title in the center of the page: "The family members of the deceased angrily surrounded the door of the club! The police arrived to maintain order!"

"Of course no one will die in an accident on the track." Beihara said calmly: "Even if there is a quality problem, at most it will crack and bulge, causing fitness citizens to fall down, or at most some toxic gases will evaporate."

"Indeed, you were lucky enough to get through the ecological runway project. I also assume that the construction acceptance of this runway is true. Then, thanks to your Shinjuku City Hall, the winning bidder relied on this project.

Entered your city hall’s supplier list.”

"What is true cannot be false. What is false cannot be true."

"You can deceive everyone for a while, and you can deceive some people for a lifetime. But you can never successfully deceive everyone all the time. Companies that rely on internal and external collusion to transfer benefits will eventually have something happen to them, and a big one!" Kitahara suddenly raised his voice.

.

"You ask where the consequences are. The consequences are right in front of you. You deprived the companies of fair participation in the bidding process. The companies you brought in because of your profit transfer eventually led to the death and injury of citizens in substandard elevator projects."

Every word Kitahara spoke was like a train crashing into the eardrums of the city hall dignitaries present.

Even Hamano was speechless for a moment.

What he thought was a seamless counterattack was shattered in a matter of seconds.

However, the public lawyer has not given up. Even though Kitahara made a verbal retaliation, he still did not directly answer his own question, which is what to do in the end. How to solve this problem.

Hamano knew that he couldn't let Kitahara interfere with the case reviewer. He continued to fight back along the same path: "Lawyer Kitahara! This is still my core issue. Are you going to win the bid again? Are you going to smash the runway and let you

Come for construction!!!"

"It's very simple." said the young male lawyer, "What we want is fairness."

"First, the companies that illegally won the bid should return their profits from this project!"
Chapter completed!
