Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 667 Let’s fight!

At this time, Hamano had to admit that this lawyer named Kitahara was indeed quite capable. If the city hall he represented was not the party with a natural advantage, then the outcome of this case would really be in suspense. But unfortunately, you are destined to lose today!

Hamano also noticed that the bidding collusion mentioned by Kitahara, such as the presidents being married and sharing a margin account, could actually be explained by subsequent supplementary explanations. In other words, these were not decisive evidence.

Indeed, this lawyer has a talent for digging out the facts of a case.

But that’s as far as it goes.

Without conclusive evidence, the case is doomed to fail.

Hamano still didn't believe that Kitahara could come up with the final word. Even if he mentioned eight or ten more projects, they would all be the same.

In the next second, Kitahara's voice was heard, "Next. I will represent the parties involved and accuse the High-tech Industrial Park of collusion in bidding for the third project."

At this moment, the city hall officials present were once again extremely nervous. After the first two accusations of bid rigging, they were not sure whether Kitahara would reveal more explosive scandals and situations. Although these officials knew that they could supplement the materials according to what Hamano said, even so, at this moment, they were tightly controlled by the actions of this lawyer Kitahara.

This group of middle-aged and elderly people seemed to be forced onto a roller coaster by this lawyer, feeling the ups and downs of the intense tension.

Kitahara seemed to sense the tension of the people present, and there was a hint of cynicism in his expression.

He said, "The High-tech Industrial Park is bidding for the smart access control system. In this project, three companies were shortlisted in the final round of bid evaluation. In the end, one company won the bid and two companies lost. The winner was Shengrong Mechanical and Electrical Co., Ltd., and the other two companies that lost were Xiaguang Industrial Co., Ltd. and Gaoyuan Engineering Co., Ltd."

Kitahara took out three thick books from the table behind him.

"These are the bids submitted by three companies for the project," said the male lawyer.

Seeing that there seemed to be no other materials on the other party's desk except these three bids, Hamano deliberately sneered, "Mr. Kitahara, what is the point of you submitting these three bids? Could it be that these three companies will write down how they colluded in the bidding in the bids?!"

"Of course. They wrote it." Kitahara replied suddenly.

Perhaps they did not expect that the lawyer in front of them would respond to Hamano in this way. Everyone in the conference room was stunned for a moment. How could a company admit in the bid document that it was colluding in bidding?

"Are you kidding me?!" Hamano was irritated by this frivolous answer. "This is a serious case trial!! Explain yourself clearly!"

Beiyuan picked up the bid documents one by one. "This is the bid document prepared by Shengrong Electromechanical Co., Ltd. Please turn to page 192. This page talks about the installation plan of facial recognition access control. Page 203 of the bid document of Xiaguang Industrial Co., Ltd. and page 209 of the bid document of Gaoyuan Engineering Co., Ltd. also talk about facial recognition access control."

Then, Kitahara pointed to a paragraph in the bid and said in surprise, "Hey! How strange! Why is this paragraph of 506 words actually appearing intact in the bids of the other two companies? Even the punctuation marks are exactly the same. Excuse me, what's going on?"

The words fell.

In an instant, a huge wave of shock arose!
There are exactly the same paragraphs in the three bids?!
Hamano couldn't believe it. He immediately flipped through the three bids and found the paragraph Kitahara mentioned. He opened it and saw that it was true! Three bids, three different companies, but when making the bids, they all had the same paragraph.

This shows that the bid was prepared by the same person.

Moreover, they lazily copied and pasted each other's content. This is simply irrefutable evidence!
Hard evidence of bid rigging!

The city hall officials were also stunned. The bidding documents for a project can be hundreds or even thousands of pages long. The bidding documents for different projects and companies add up to tens of thousands of pages. How did this lawyer do it? How did he find this small, identical paragraph among tens of thousands of pages?
This is the devil!

This is a monster!!
Hamano found that his palms were sweating. He carefully read the repeated words in the bid. If the city hall could provide additional materials before, then it would be impossible to produce materials to correct the repeated paragraphs in the bid.

However, there must be a fight back.

Otherwise you really lose!
How to say it?!

This public lawyer read the text in front of him, his mind working rapidly. Hamano's rich experience in trial and law still provided him with help at the most critical moment.

After reading the text carefully, Hamano came up with a counter-strategy and stood up and said, "What you pointed out is also not true. The repeated paragraphs are not unique descriptions of access control technology solutions. They are just introducing facial recognition solutions that are already available on the market. For this kind of introductory text, it is entirely possible that it is copied and pasted from information on the Internet, so it is not surprising even if there are repetitions!"

After all, he is a public lawyer who once fought in the High Court.

In an instant, he launched another extremely fierce counterattack.

However, after Hamano said this, he saw Kitahara's eyes.

He couldn't forget that look.

This look was like the look of a ferocious hunter in thick fur in the forest, hiding in the dark and observing his prey after carefully setting a trap.

For a moment, the public lawyer actually felt afraid.

Yes, just because of this look, he trembled with fear.

This was something he had never felt in his decades of court career.

In this short second, he felt that he had fallen into the opponent's trap. Although he didn't know what the trap was, and what kind of horrible device was inside, he felt that he had already stepped into it, and in the next second, he would be pierced and clamped by the sharp steel teeth inside, bleeding profusely.

Kitahara took out a piece of paper.

The young man in a gray suit said, "This is an IP address query form. After applying, we retrieved the email information used to receive bids for this bidding project. The email company provided us with the IP addresses from which the three companies involved in the case sent bid emails."

"The IP address that sent these three emails is the same," the male lawyer said calmly.

Everyone in the conference room froze.
The IP address of the bidding emails from the three companies is the same.

This means that these emails were sent from the same office!
