Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 669 Means
"Please maintain order! Don't bang the table!!" Iwasa, the judge of the case, stopped them.

Hamano was speechless. He couldn't answer Kitahara's question.

Because as Kitahara said, this is a question of fact.

If I continue to insist as I did just now that there is no collusion between the city hall and the companies, then if subsequent investigations prove that this is untrue, I will really be charged with the crime of making false statements.

Therefore, he could not answer.

This powerful public lawyer was forced into a situation where he had nothing to say for the first time during the trial of this case.

The city hall officials sitting in the conference room and listening in also felt the terror of this lawyer Kitahara. In this case, the city hall deployed a lot of resources to support Hamano. Including putting pressure on these companies outside the court. However, with so much power, this young man was able to turn the case to this extent.

This was far beyond their imagination.

Alone, he challenged Tokyo's richest and most prestigious municipal organization.

This young man actually did it.

Hamano also decided that he had to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. The longer he fought with this young man, the more he felt like he was being pulled into a black hole, unable to escape. The rest was like being caught by a monster, slowly watching his body being torn into pieces by its sharp claws.

Although Kitahara had the upper hand in the argument, the overall situation was still unfavorable.

Most of the accusations of illegal bid evaluation and opening that Beiyuan had previously complained about could have been remedied by the city hall subsequently filling in the missing documents.

As for the bid rigging that was accused today, although the scene was exciting and the city hall was speechless, as Hamano said, Kitahara and his team still lacked a piece of evidence. That is, evidence of collusion between the city hall and the company. This means that they are still one step away from the goal of posing a fatal threat to the city hall.

However, today's scene was shocking enough.

Even if we cannot catch the transfer of interests between the city hall and the enterprises, the collusion in bidding alone is enough to force the projects involved to be re-tendered.

This undoubtedly puts pressure on City Hall.

The trial of the case continued, Kitahara and Miyakawa took turns to continue to demonstrate the illegalities in the bidding for the High-tech Park project, while Hamano continued to refute.

Soon, the day passed...

……

……

……

Shinjuku City Hall, office at night.

"We must arrest this lawyer!!!" Ishiwatari said angrily, "We must do it as soon as possible!"

After listening to the report of today's case trial, the deputy director of the Development Committee was actually scared. He did not expect that the other party could find evidence of bid rigging from the deposit refund account, repeated paragraphs in the bid, and the IP address of the bid email.

As the main promoter of the high-tech industrial park project, Shi Du certainly knows how serious the problems of this project are.

We know that this industrial park project will not be able to withstand investigation.

I still failed.

I was too careless and did not do the appropriate concealment in the high-tech industrial park project.

Ishiwatari could never have imagined that someone would mess up this most important project and make it look like this. In the office, Hamano and Investigator Urakawa from the Tokyo Securities Regulatory Bureau were also present.

Hamano did not take the initiative to speak. After all, the case was not going well today, and as the lead lawyer, he could not say much at this time. He could only let Ishiwatari vent his anger first.

However, this public lawyer still wants to assess the risks of the case more accurately.

Hamano said, "Deputy Director Ishiwatari, based on your understanding of this project, what is the extent of the problems in the High-tech Industrial Park?"

Ishiwatari understood what Hamano meant by this.

I want to tell you the truth so that they can assess the risks.

"Since you are a public lawyer, you should also know that municipal projects like these are actually about stability. Simply put, these municipal projects are not high-tech and require extraordinary companies to do them. Any ordinary company in the same industry can do it. In this case, we want stability."

"To be stable, we need to find trustworthy people to do the work. Only in this way can we feel assured. You said there are so many companies that meet the bidding requirements, so why should I choose this one instead of that one? In the final analysis, it is still a question of trust. For major projects like this, our city hall mainly looks for trustworthy companies to do the work."

Ishiwata's speech was a bit obscure.

However, Hamano had basically understood it.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Most of the companies involved in this project at the Hi-Tech Park are companies that are familiar to the company within the network, and the work is pre-determined.

Previously, Binye also felt that it was nothing to let familiar companies take some of the leftovers from such a large investment project.

But judging from Ishidu's feedback today, I'm afraid the situation of interest transfer is far beyond my imagination.

However, this gave Hamano more confidence.

It’s a very simple truth——

Officials protect each other.

This is an eternal truth.

The High-tech Industrial Park project is the largest and most important project in Shinjuku in recent years. If there is any interest transfer in it, the city hall will definitely protect it at all costs. Moreover, for such an important project, the level of interest transfer involved cannot be limited to the city hall level, but will inevitably involve higher levels.

Hamano did not ask further about who these "acquaintances" were.

There is no doubt that these enterprises are just a glove.

The funds for municipal projects were inevitably taken out and flowed into the hands of some big shot.

The story that follows is not my business.

Ishiwatari looked at Investigator Urakawa and said, "Can we take action against this lawyer now? At such a critical juncture, we must not allow such people with ulterior motives to come out and destroy the good situation in Shinjuku District. We must bring such saboteurs to justice as soon as possible!!!"

Investigator Urakawa smiled slightly. "I have submitted the report on taking compulsory measures against Attorney Kitahara to the internal committee of the Asset Supervision and Administration Bureau. At present, it has been approved internally. It is expected that there will be a formal report in a few days. Then, we can directly arrest this lawyer!"

"We must not only take him down." Ishiwata's eyes became gloomy and ruthless. "He was able to dig out these clues about the High-tech Park project. There must be someone behind it. We must find out the power behind him, and make him admit his purpose!!"

"Investigator Urakawa, remember. Once you have detained someone in the Asset Supervision Bureau, you can use any means you want on him!" Ishiwatari's voice rang out.
