Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 438
Chikako's overwhelming attack repeatedly refuted the defense of the defendant's lawyer.

The pressure pouring down like a storm made Miyagawa feel breathless.In the face of agencies with public power, the weak position of criminal defense lawyers is clearly exposed.As long as one of the four corruption facts accused by the prosecutor 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 hopeless.

The high-ranking university officials in the auditorium could not help but smile when they saw the pressing situation of the prosecutor's office.The order of the Accounting Inspection Institute to stop the payment of the Faculty of Engineering of the University has been officially revoked, and the operation of scientific research funds has also returned to normal.That nasty investigator named Yuki is still in Kyoto, but his official position has been revoked.It seems that everyone now understands that all the so-called researcher named Morimoto is unwilling to be convicted, so he wants to drag more people into the water.

Ishimura sat on the seat, covered his eyes with trembling hands, and bent down, not daring to look at the scene of the court.As Morimoto's new wife, every word the prosecutor said was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.

The whole court became extremely quiet.The evidence presented by the public prosecutor is like an unbreakable chain, firmly locking Morimoto.In the interlocking chain of evidence, there seems to be no room for debate.

Qian Hezi looked at the expression of the female lawyer opposite, then at the silent lawyer Bei Yuan, and smiled slightly.Sure enough, the defense lawyer on the opposite side was vulnerable without the help of the Accounting Inspection Institute.

Lawyers who are ignorant and only want to exonerate criminals will eventually be defeated by the righteous way.

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

On the defense bench, the young male lawyer stood up again, straightened his tie slightly, and the smile on his face was strange with a frightening murderous intent.

"Defender, the following cross-examination opinions are issued for the evidence presented by Cai's public prosecutor."

Without the help of the Accounting Inspectorate, you still want to fight back? !For some reason, Qian Hezi felt a tremor in her heart, and couldn't help but tighten the materials in her hands.Obviously the other party no longer has the assistance of the Accounting and Inspection Institute, but the female public prosecutor is still shocked by the lawyer's aura.The other party is just such a young lawyer, but why?In front of him, I... I am like a prey that cannot resist.

In the next second, Beiyuan's voice sounded, "The so-called proof of Morimoto's authority as an expert present presented by the public prosecutor is just an internal meeting document of the Kyoto City Hall. If it is said that Morimoto was really entrusted to exercise the corresponding approval power , then at least three conditions should be met: first, formal organization and personnel procedures; second, corresponding appointment documents; third, formal and definite job responsibilities.”

"The so-called meeting minutes presented by the Prosecutor's Office are neither a formal document concerning the determination of the authority of the present experts, nor a formal discussion process for organizing personnel procedures. Using such a discussion document, it is determined that Morimoto is the present expert The power of examination and approval it has is obviously insufficient."

Qian Hezi 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 authority to approve the subsidy for the purchase of precision machinery to the experts present. Regarding this content, no matter how much the defense lawyer argues, it cannot be denied!"

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

The words in black and white on it clearly stated that the city hall had delegated the approval authority for purchasing subsidies to the experts present.

In the face of the fierceness of the female prosecutor, Bei Yuan's expression did not show any turmoil, but he also picked up the meeting minutes presented by the prosecution, pointed to the content on it and said, "Please pay attention to the statement about the Finance Office in the meeting minutes." Approval authority. The minutes of the first meeting also stated that the finance office should also review the authenticity of the project materials, and in the minutes of the second meeting, the approval authority of the finance office was revised."

"What does this mean?" Bei Yuan walked around in the courtroom, "That is to say, the so-called 'approval authority' determined by the meeting minutes is not the final and definite approval authority. It is just a result of discussion. In other words, if the prosecution only showed the first meeting minutes today, the experts present and the Finance Office are responsible for the approval. Now the second meeting minutes, the approval authority is only given to the The present experts."

"Then—" Beiyuan continued, "How can we be sure whether there are minutes of the third meeting, minutes of the fourth meeting, or minutes of the fifth meeting? Maybe it is in the minutes of the third meeting that the experts on the table The approval authority has been revised again. Perhaps in the minutes of the fifth meeting, the approval authority of the present experts will be completely abolished.”

"If the prosecution wants to use the meeting minutes to prove Morimoto's approval authority as an expert present, it should retrieve all the meeting minutes and discussion records of the city hall, and use the authority of the experts determined by the last meeting minutes as the basis. Before the prosecution has not provided the complete meeting minutes, the so-called discussion on the approval authority of the present experts is only pending, not the final determination of the authority of the present experts!"

All the judges in the referee's seat nodded slightly when they heard Bei Yuan's words.Judge Sakuma immediately looked at the public prosecutor's seat, "What the defender said makes sense. Prosecutor's Office, you want to retrieve all the meeting minutes of the Kyoto City Hall on subsidies for precision machinery and equipment. Is there any problem?"

"Okay... yes, chief referee." Qian Hezi replied with a rather stiff expression.She never expected that the chain of evidence that was being arranged would be pierced through a big hole again in the blink of an eye.

However, all meeting minutes are retrieved.

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 was opposed by some business circles, who believed that the project unfairly treated enterprises that lacked financial resources to purchase precision machinery.Coupled with this corruption scandal, the city hall was originally unwilling to provide any documents.Today, the city hall is willing to provide the two internal meeting minutes, which is considered to be a great help.

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

It is simply impossible to obtain the minutes of all the meetings involved in the case!
