Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 411 Attack
Beiyuan's question was thrown out, and the college students in the auditorium couldn't help becoming nervous.The directivity of this question is very obvious.If it is said that before Morimoto took over, the industry-research joint ventures were already abnormally irregular, then who would be the instigator who caused the mess of these joint ventures?
"Chief referee!" Yan Yong suddenly stood up from his seat, and before Morimoto could answer, he took a step forward and said loudly: "The opposing lawyer is asking inductive questions! Please stop it from the court!"

[Inducing question]

[The so-called leading question means that the questioner has hidden the answer to the question to a certain extent, so as to prompt the questionee how to answer.For example, a typical leading question is: a lawyer asks a defendant in court whether you have stolen from others.Since the lawyer has already defined the defendant’s behavior as stealing in the question, he will prompt the defendant to give a negative answer to this question: that is, I did not steal anything]

Judge Sakuma listened to Yan Yong's words, thought for a few seconds, nodded, agreed with the prosecutor's opinion, and then said: "Defenders are not allowed to ask inducing questions, please withdraw this question."

"Okay, chief referee. Then I will change the way of asking questions." Beiyuan smiled slightly, bowed slightly, and then looked at Morimoto again, "Defendant, may I ask you during the handover process, have you dealt with me?" How do you feel about the financial system of the industry-research joint venture?"

Morimoto replied: "To be honest... To be honest, I didn't expect this to be the case at the beginning of the handover. For example, I have a joint venture that I am in charge of. It is a research and development company for high-speed train track materials If you only look at the official website, this company seems to be a great company that has undertaken many large projects. However, at the time of the actual handover, this company didn’t even have a ledger, and the related bookkeeping was unexpectedly in a notebook."

"Is it recorded in a notebook?" Beiyuan was surprised again, dragged out his voice, and replied with an extremely exaggerated tone of voice.

"Yes." Morimoto nodded, "It's just written in a notebook. And this notebook is very thin, and there are many scribbles and changes in it, and I can't understand it. I really never thought that the actual situation would be like this .”

Between the question and answer, the faces of the senior university officials in the courtroom had turned extremely dark.These few words are simply a slap in the face of Kyoto University, a top university.If these conversations spread out in some form, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yan Yong looked coldly at Bei Yuan's exaggerated expression, and frowned.This defense lawyer is really like a clown.

But, Iwanaga stretched his expression slightly.As an extremely experienced senior prosecutor, he has already accumulated thousands of ways to deal with lawyers.

Go ahead and ask, Yan Yong sneered in his heart, as long as you continue to ask, your client will die.

The prosecutor rubbed his hands on the table, and a trap had been laid quietly.

"Defendant, when you specifically accepted the production-research joint venture, what were you mainly doing?" In the courtroom, Bei Yuan had already walked to the side of the defendant's seat and asked.

"How to put it. There are all kinds of things, very complicated." Morimoto said, "If you don't go to do it yourself, you can't imagine that there are many weird things that need to be done. But, in general, I feel To my job is like a treasurer or a cashier."

"Finance or cashier? Does that mean you are responsible for the transfer of a lot of funds?" Bei Yuan continued to ask.

"Yes."

"In that case, I'm very surprised." Beiyuan said, "Have you ever worked in finance before, or learned about it?"

"No. I have never been exposed to finance, accounting and other knowledge before." Morimoto said.

Beiyuan stood in front of the wooden fence and turned sideways, "Accounting, finance and other things, I think it may require a certain degree of special study to be able to be competent. For example, the balance sheet in accounting, accounting identity. Whether an expenditure should be recorded as an asset or as an expense requires knowledge to make a judgment before it can be competent. Otherwise, under incorrect bookkeeping, it will completely distort an enterprise financial information."

"That's right! That's right!" Morimoto nodded vigorously, "I'm often confused about many problems. For example, an industry-research joint venture purchased a batch of filter paper that can be used about 50 times. 120 million yen. I don’t know whether to record the 120 million yen of filter paper as an asset of the enterprise, or to record the 120 million yen as an expense. The two accounting methods are very different. If If these filter papers are recorded as corporate assets, then the profit will not decrease. If these filter papers are recorded as expenses, the profit will be written off by 120 million yen accordingly.”

Bei Yuan was on the side, casually, and suddenly asked another question: "Since you don't have the corresponding financial knowledge, you have to deal with so many corporate chores at the same time. So, is there anyone to help you, or tell you what to do? "

The people in the auditorium were only paying attention to some curious matters in the production and research enterprises, and not many people noticed that Beiyuan had actually introduced a very important issue in an instant.

If Morimoto answered "yes" to this question, there is no doubt that there will be an accomplice in this case.Once there is an accomplice, it is possible to face the problem of dividing the principal and accessory offenders.In the best case, if Morimoto just mechanically obeyed the instructions of others, then it is very likely that he could even be convicted and would not be considered a crime of corruption.Even if it is found to be a crime, it is only an accessory, thus greatly reducing the sentence.

Listening to this question, Yan Yong naturally knew what the defense lawyer in front of him was planning.However, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if waiting for the defense lawyer on the opposite side to fall into a trap.

"Yes, I was taught what to do," Morimoto replied.

The voice just fell.

The moment he heard this answer, Yan Yong showed an expression of treasure, and the next second, he stood up suddenly, and saw that his face became majestic, and his whole body exuded a thunderous force, and said loudly :

"Chief referee! The defendant's answer just now has constituted a 'retraction'. Morimoto's attempt to shirk his actions as instigated by others has actually constituted a denial of his criminal facts. Based on this, Morimoto's previous confession should be determined The circumstances are no longer established. The court should no longer apply the provisions on lenient punishment to Morimoto!"

In an instant, the prosecutor's sharp offensive came rolling in again, as if to retaliate and challenge the situation that was caused by the innocence defense just now...
