All the eyes of the audience fell on Beihara.

Among these glances were mocking glances, mocking him as a lawyer who owed 500 million yuan for actually suing the road operator in a traffic accident case. There were also mocking glances, mocking him as a young lawyer for overestimating his ability to sue a listed company.

company.

However, among these mocking and ridiculing gazes, there was also a gaze full of concern.

Niwa was sitting in the auditorium. She already felt that the current situation was very bad, and her heart tightened unconsciously. But for some reason, as soon as her eyes glanced at Kitahara on the plaintiff's table, the nervousness would subside.

. For some reason, Niyu found that in his heart, he vaguely believed that the young male lawyer had the ability to defeat the lawyer team of the listed company opposite him. This emotion of his was really strange.

At the plaintiff's table, the young male lawyer did not show the panicked expression that everyone imagined. His expression was still full of calm. In other words, his expression has not changed since the beginning of the trial.

Kitahara listened to Imanishi's argument, but still did not pick up a pen to record anything. Instead, he calmly pulled out a few pieces of paper from a pile of case files on the table. His movements were so skillful, as if this young male lawyer had already written down every piece of the case file.

I remember the content of the page clearly.

"Chief Judge", Kitahara stood up from the plaintiff's table unsteadily. If one didn't look carefully, others might have thought that a drunkard had stood up from the plaintiff's table.

It was less than 1 minute before Imanishi finished speaking.

In just one minute, the male lawyer at the plaintiff's table stood up to defend again.

It's as if I don't even have time to think.

Seeing Kitahara's reaction, Imanishi's eyes widened slightly. Among outstanding lawyers, it is not surprising that such a speed of on-the-spot reaction can be achieved. However, what is strange is that such a young lawyer who has just graduated can actually do so.

demonstrated this ability.

"Chief referee, I have two pieces of information here." Beihara took these pieces of paper, walked towards the clerk at the middle table, and handed her the pages of A4 paper. The clerk took the pieces of A4,

He swept his eyes back and forth, sorted them out on the table for a while, then turned around and handed the pieces of paper to the judge on the bench.

"One of the documents is a document plan recently released by the Hachioji City Hall. The name of this document is the "Strategic Plan for Improving Road Management Efficiency." This document was released the previous year and marked the beginning of the road system reform in Hachioji City.

"

"Please allow me to briefly introduce the background of Hachioji City's road system reform. In the past, Hachioji City Hall owned a number of 'loan toll roads'. These roads had huge expenditure pressure, low management efficiency, and serious losses, which had a great impact on Hachioji City's finances.

Revenue brings an extremely huge burden. Therefore, against this background, the Hachioji City Hall initiated the reform of the road management system in the surrounding areas."

"One of the contents of the reform is to transform the past 'loan-repaying toll roads' into 'for-profit roads'. That is, these roads are sold and transferred to enterprises, and the enterprises directly operate the roads to improve road management efficiency and compress

Financial expenditure. Among the list of roads to be restructured, please see the plan, the 23rd restructured road in the appendix, and the name of the 23rd restructured road is exactly the G227 section of the highway."

"In other words, the Hachioji City Hall has restructured the relevant highways and sold the property rights of the G227 section of the highway to Kawamoto Expressway."

Later, Kitahara pointed to another document and said: "This is the financial statement released by Kawamoto Expressway through the Tokyo Stock Exchange in the first quarter of this year. In this report, Kawamoto Expressway lists all operating entities under its jurisdiction.

Roads, as well as loan-paying toll roads that have a claim on local councils. Please take note of this, Chief Magistrate.”

Kitahara raised the document in his hand, and a table on the document was circled in red. "In Kawamoto Expressway's own financial statements, the G227 section of the expressway involved was classified as an ordinary commercial road, not the defendant just now."

What the lawyer calls the loan repayment toll road.”

"It can be seen from these two documents that during the road system reform carried out by Hachioji City Hall, the G227 section of the expressway involved in the case has been changed to a commercial road owned by Kawamoto Expressway instead of a loan repayment toll road. Therefore, the defendant in this case

Suitable!"

As soon as the words fell, Kawamoto Expressway's legal team broke into a cold sweat.

No one in the legal team expected that the plaintiff’s attorney would have dug so deeply into the expressway business that he had even tracked down the road system reform at Hachioji City Hall.

The lawyer in front of him looked so young, but... he seemed to give people an unfathomable feeling.

Imanishi couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw Kitahara's quick reaction. Facing the second line of defense he had personally set up, this young man actually made such a quick and violent counterattack.

For a student who has only graduated a few years ago, this is already a good performance.

However, this game should also end.

After observing Kitahara, Imanishi has almost figured out his offensive methods. This guy is just using some sophistry methods to confuse the key points, or tailoring the facts to his advantage. It's just meh.

Listening to Kitahara's rebuttal, Imanishi pulled out a few pieces of paper from the case files on the dock behind him, and then handed them to the clerk and the judge on the bench, "The chief judge. The plaintiff's lawyer just deliberately attacked the Hachioji City Hall.

The facts of road system reform are distorted and tailored.”

"Please note that the road system reform of the Hachioji City Hall is essentially to strip the expressways with serious losses from municipal assets and resell them to private companies. However, not long after this plan was launched, it faced huge challenges.

Pressure from public opinion. This reform has long since stalled. In fact, according to the query results of the Road Property Registration Office of the Highway Bureau, the property rights of the G227 section of the highway involved are still registered under the name of the Hachioji City Hall. The property rights of the highway involved are not complete.

The land was transferred to the Kawamoto Expressway. With the interruption of the reform, the right of way continued to remain in the hands of the Hachioji City Hall. Due to the stagnation of the reform, the misclassification of the Kawamoto Expressway in the financial statements is excusable."

Imanishi took a step forward, as if forcing Kitahara into a blind corner and blocking his escape route, and said: "Just now, the plaintiff's lawyer submitted nothing more than some documents and information to indirectly prove who owns the property rights of the G227 section of the highway involved.

However, this method is clearly untenable in law."

"The direct basis for the identification of highway property rights should be the results recorded in the registration book of the Road Property Registration Office of the Highway Bureau! This is the most direct, original and formal information. As long as the road property rights registration book records all the properties of the G227 section of the expressway

The owner is the Hachioji City Hall, and the owner is the City Hall." Imanishi raised an A4 paper in his hand.

But I saw that the A4 paper was the highway property rights inquiry results form.

The above is the result inquiry letter issued by the Road Property Registration Office of Hachioji City Highway Bureau to Imanishi Law Firm.

On that piece of paper, there were a few large black characters listed on the owner of the G227 section of highway:

Hachioji City Hall.

At the end of the paper, there is a bright red official seal of the Road Property Registration Office of the Highway Bureau, indicating that this is the original of the query result.

Imanishi handed the road property inquiry result form in his hand to the clerk, returned to the plaintiff's table, and then glanced at Kitahara.

There is no need to play with this young man anymore.

game over.
Chapter completed!
