Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 38 38. Trial Files Part [-]
Under the curious attention of the audience, the store manager Saito came to the witness stand.

"Please tell the witness your name and occupation." Seeing that he was outside the school, the judge teacher softened his tone a little.

"My name is Saito Ninosuke, and I'm the store manager of [Tokyo Gensokyo]." He smoothed his greasy hair and said in a flat tone:

"I am in charge of running the public relations bar that the students in your school secretly photographed."

There was an uproar around, who would have expected the manager of the public relations shop to appear in a college in a grand manner.

"Mr. Saito, do you admit that Kyushu Makoto works in your store?" Zhou Fangwuwen asked quite purposefully.

Store manager Saito glanced at Makoto Kyushu, then stared at Zhou Fangwuwen: "No, this kid is not an employee of our store."

"But... you are the witness invited by Jiuzhou, right?" The judge teacher also asked curiously:

"Since you have nothing to do with Jiuzhou Cheng, why did you accept his request and attend as a witness?"

"Well~ In fact, I still have a relationship with this child." The store manager Saito smiled slightly:
"Jiuzhou Makoto is probably my godson or something."

"God son?!" There was another commotion in the courtroom.

Zhou Fangwuwen also stared in surprise, and asked, "I've never heard of such a thing! Can I ask Mr. Saito to explain?"

"There's nothing to explain. I just think this kid is pitiful, so I will often give him a little pocket money." The store manager Saito replied calmly:
"I occasionally ask him to come to the store to help me with chores, but it's just voluntary labor, not the kind of job that picks up customers."

"That is to say, the reason Jiuzhoucheng walked into this public relations bar is because he was adopted by the store manager?" Several students on the jury began to discuss.

"Then. May I ask whether Mr. Saito has registered for adoption?" Zhou Fang Wuwen asked persistently.

"No, I wouldn't do this kind of thing." Saito store manager shook his head and smiled wryly:
"My career is quite sensitive. If I suddenly adopt a high school adopted son, I will definitely be gossiped by others, right?"

"That is to say, Jiuzhou Cheng is not your godson in the legal sense, but your wishful thinking?" Zhou Fangwuwen frowned.

"What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Saito store manager stared at the prosecution, the corners of his eyes wrinkled slightly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you." Zhou Fangwuwen's glasses reflected, and he became aggressive:

"But just based on such casual remarks, it is hard for me not to suspect that you and Jiuzhou Cheng have colluded with the testimony in advance and are helping him perjury."

"Then feel free to think what you want, I'm not going to spend a lot of time arguing with you." The store manager Saito put on a look of indifference, and complained angrily:
"If you do good deeds, you will still be questioned. Are all high school students so dark inside?"

"I" was suddenly morally tortured by the other party, and Zhou Fangwuwen didn't know how to respond.

The store manager Saito is indeed a veteran who has been in the society for decades, and he silenced the prosecutor's students with a few words.

At this time, someone in the auditorium suddenly stood up and said, "Mr. Saito, can I ask you a question?"

Everyone followed the voice and found that the person who spoke turned out to be the director of the school.

For this school, today's "school-level referee" is of reform significance, so the chairman also chose to attend the scene in person.

"You said that you funded him because Kyushu Makoto was very pitiful, but I think this reason is too far-fetched." The chairman showed eagle-like sharp eyes and looked at the store manager Saito:
"As far as I know, there should be a large number of homeless young people in Kamurocho where you live. Is there any special reason why you chose to help Makoto Kyushu?"

Hearing this question, the store manager Saito and the chairman looked at each other, and laughed inexplicably:

"Let me tell you, I see that you are wearing a suit and look like a social elite. You must have studied in a very good university, right?"

The chairman was taken aback, and admitted generously: "That's right, I not only went to college, but also studied abroad for many years."

"Really? Sure enough, he is a rich man~" Saito store manager sighed, and said with emotion:
"Actually, I did well in high school, and I wanted to go to college. But because the tuition fees were too high, I had to be a cowherd by accident, and ended up like this."

There was a sigh in the audience.

"Brother elite, not everyone can go to university like you and study abroad. In this country, many things can't be solved just by studying hard. Even young people who work hard, as long as they don't have money, they can The qualifications to receive higher education will be deprived.” Saito store manager continued:
"Jiuzhoucheng said that he wants to work hard to earn money to be admitted to a prestigious university, and he doesn't want to be a useless person like his parents, but he alone can't raise so much money."

"You are right. Kamurocho does not lack poor young people, but there are very few young people who still have dreams in difficult situations. Makoto Kyushu's eyes are very similar to mine before. I know he is serious, so That's why I decided to support him."

"." The chairman couldn't help falling into silence.But soon, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, lowered his posture and bowed slightly:

"Mr. Saito, your words are very reasonable. If the facts are as you said, then please let me express my utmost gratitude to you for supporting the students of our school."

After speaking, the chairman sat down again without saying any more.

After Mr. Saito finished his speech, he was asked to leave the witness stand by the judge.

Manager Saito's sincere speech seemed to touch the heartstrings of many people, and some jury members looked at Makoto Kyushu with gentler eyes, as if they began to sympathize with him.

"So, is there anything else that needs to be discussed between the two sides?" Teacher Judge asked, tapping the hammer.

"It's true, Mr. Saito's speech is very touching." Zhou Fangwuwen pushed the frame of the mirror and shook his head slowly:

"However, he is not the legal adoptive father of the student from Kyushu, and the so-called "adoption" is only one-sided and cannot be notarized.So I still insist on the original idea, thinking that Kyushu students are doing custom work in Niulangdian. "

"Do you mean he is lying?" Jiuzhou Cheng folded his arms and asked back.

"Whether Mr. Saito lied, Kyushu students should know in their hearts." Zhou Fangwuwen said firmly:
"As the Secretary-General of the Disciplinary Committee, I cannot let go of any students who are suspected of violating school rules. This is my duty."

"It's really ruthless... If you have investigated my situation, you should also know that I have excellent academic performance, and I am honest and responsible on weekdays, and I never do things that disturb morality." Jiuzhou Cheng sighed, pretending to sigh sadly:
"I'm just an ordinary student with a bad fate. I just want to work hard to get into college. Is it really appropriate for you to make things difficult for me in the name of the disciplinary committee?"

"Please don't play the sympathy card! Besides, our school clearly stipulates that students are not allowed to enter or leave customary places. Violating school rules is violating school rules!" Zhou Fangwuwen snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice:
"According to the regulations of this "school-level referee", at least [-]% of the jury members must support you before you can get a "not guilty" verdict.But with all due respect, the evidence you have presented so far is not enough to completely remove your suspicion.Besides, it is precisely because your family is poor and you need to earn money to go to college, so you have all the more reason to engage in high-paying custom jobs, isn't it? "

Immediately afterwards, the prosecution asked the jury again: "Everyone on the jury, who supports the "not guilty" verdict now? "

Forty percent of the jury members raised their hands one after another, and they all looked at Kyushu Makoto with pity.

The rest of the jury members still had cold eyes, perhaps the speech made by store manager Saito did not impress them.

"Huh, such a small number of people is not enough to reach a verdict of not guilty?" Zhou Fangwuwen picked out the frame and said:
"Although you are indeed a good student worthy of sympathy, and you invited the store manager to testify beyond my expectations, it is a pity that your proposition did not convince most people."

The judge also reminded: "Defendant Jiuzhou, do you have any new evidence and arguments? If the trial ends like this, you will be sentenced to guilty."

Kyushu sighed softly.

Indeed, he didn't think he could convince most of the jury members to win a "not guilty" verdict with only this little trick.

However, [-]% of them support themselves, which is enough for now.

The testimony that the store manager Saito just said was all in collusion with Makoto Kyushu in advance.These touching speeches may not be able to win "not guilty", but they can greatly shake the jury and the audience, eliminate their hostility and win sympathy.

And then, is the real highlight.

Jiuzhoucheng took out a stack of documents and said unhurriedly: "Actually, I want to put forward a new proposition for this incident."

"I want to accuse the news department of our school. They have spread rumors and slandered me from the beginning to the end of this matter!"
