The Kyoto Bubble Era: Starting from the Sale of Hundreds of Millions of Properties

Chapter 229 The Tokyo Trial
October 1990, 10, Supreme Court (Tokyo Supreme Court), Grand Court, No. 3-4, Hayabusacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

This building, known as "Qiyan Castle", has always been the most sacred and solemn place in the hearts of Japanese people, and the place that can best maintain national dignity, laws and public opinion.

At the age of 65, Hayataro Chino, who is about to step down as a magistrate (judge) of the Supreme Court, did not expect to receive such a huge personal case when he retired.

Due to the large number of cases, most of the cases reported to the Supreme Court will be inspected by the investigators in charge, civil, criminal, administrative and other categories to confirm whether they are accepted. The final result is often that they directly judge, and only a very small part will go to the court. A small court composed of 5 collegial panels composed of 3 judges conducts the final trial.

And the number of cases that can go to the big court presided over by him is less than ten a year.

Generally, it is a large number of official bribery cases submitted by the two special search departments of the Tokyo and Osaka prefectural prosecutors, such as the Rikulut case in previous years.

This is the first time he has tried a personal case in a large court since he served as a judge for nearly 30 years, and the subject is still a young man who is only 26 years old!
Hayataro Chino is the elder brother of Ryu Chino, the president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Long before the trial, the latter brought his granddaughter Rin Chino to visit him, hoping that he would spare Sosuke Kitahara in this case.

"At least he cannot be sentenced to death."

This is Qian Yelong's request.

Hayataro Chino did not expect that the last major case in his life would be the fiancé of his niece and granddaughter.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was no relationship between the two, he would have to avoid them according to the principle of avoidance.

Someone from the prime minister's cabinet also came to say hello. The Chino family has never had any contact with those wealthy families in Tokyo, and the other party knew this well, so they didn't spend much time with him.

Hayataro Chino recalled the devastated indictment again.

What a crime this kid has committed!
How come none of the civil, criminal, or administrative items are left behind!
This judgment is of great significance. As a country with a system of final adjudication of three instances, this is one of the few individual cases where the first judgment was placed in the Grand Court of the Supreme Court.

The Prime Minister's Cabinet and the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office filed a lawsuit against individuals. Because it was announced at the special congress, this time there are six major private TV stations and official TV stations that will jointly broadcast the live broadcast. It is imperative that all Japanese people know the outcome of the case as soon as possible.

Everyone from the Beiyuan family who were waiting in front of the big color TV, especially Kobayashi Kyoko and a group of his women, also became anxious and tense.

When Kitahara Sosuke was escorted to Tokyo yesterday, all the clubs of the Kitahara Department were shut down.

The suspended workers normally receive a basic salary, but during this period, they want to work and want more salary!

They don't know what trial is, what treason is, they only know that their parents have been taken away, and they are cursing in their hearts, wishing that the trial would end quickly on the first day, and then release their president back, so that they can continue to work and make money !
Especially in the Osaka area, the financial turmoil brought about by the defeat of the Gulf War broke out concentratedly here. Hundreds of clubs have gone bankrupt and the financial institutions involved are also eagerly seeking help from Tosan Osaka Chuo Branch. No points are given, those who can't hold on have closed their doors, and those who are still holding on are waiting in front of the TV to wait for the result.

The collapse of financial institutions has affected both the political and business circles, affecting a wide range of people. When they have accidents, the loan customers and deposit customers under their names are also unlucky. Osaka, which was still thriving on October 10, became lifeless on October 1.

With the suspension of all the clubs of the Kitahara Department, Osaka unexpectedly fell into a production stagnation that Yasushi Kawatani did not expect!

"Lawyer Yagami, have they gone already?" Kobayashi Kyoko clasped her hands tightly, praying for her man in her heart.

This is the Supreme Court, a place that ordinary people will never see once in their lifetime!

"Yamada-kun sent him to Tokyo this morning, don't worry, Miss Kobayashi, I have already wrapped 1000 million yen for lawyer Yagami." Kitano Ran patted her on the back lightly.

Fujiwara Norika pursed her lips and said nothing. These days, the ugliness and filth hidden in the shadow of Osaka kept appearing, which disappointed her, a girl full of justice. Kitahara Sosuke's inexplicable imprisonment made her even more angry .

Damn the law, damn the cabinet, damn the country!
In comparison, Saeko Sakurai was much calmer. She quietly broke through the last step with Kitahara Sosuke with the familiarity of a married woman and a young woman. As the president of Kitahara Logistics, she decisively stopped the shutdown last night and quickly dealt with the employees' dissatisfaction. A corresponding commitment was made.

After that, consciously expand the impact of the shutdown.

She is doing what she can.

If he is unfortunately judged, then he will go with him!

Saeko Sakurai clenched her fists and looked at the TV.

The Grand Court participated in this case. A collegial panel composed of [-] judges including Justice Chino Hayataro is already in place, and the public prosecutor's prosecutor, Yoshika Baba, is also in place. Everyone is looking forward to it. He is dressed in plain clothes and looks natural. Kitahara Sosuke came to the seat under the escort of the bailiff.

At this time, the Japanese people watching in front of the TV were in an uproar. Except for some viewers in the Osaka area, most of them saw the legendary Kitahara Sosuke for the first time.

The first impression is that he is so young, so handsome, and so calm.

Appearance is justice.

Money is also justice.

The rich and handsome young man captured the hearts of countless young girls at once, especially in this situation where the people were generally extremely dissatisfied with the current cabinet, Kitahara Sosuke became the object of their support.

"The court session!!!"

Hayataro Chino's voice was strong and long, resounding throughout the courtroom.

After the court session, Hayataro Chino began to verify the identity of Sosuke Kitahara, and after the verification was correct, Yoshika Baba began to read the long indictment.

Compared with the original twelve, three charges including defamation were added later, for a total of fifteen shocking charges, which made the people in front of the TV stunned.

At this time, Kitahara Sosuke, who was careless, thought that such an unprecedented trial could not be carried out in the information age, and he was too bad.

If 10 years later, I believe that the gifts sent by the water friends on the barrage will be enough for him to eat for a year.

At this time, although it was a live broadcast, there was no interaction, it was just for more people to see on TV.

But that's enough.

They wanted to kill themselves openly and justly, but this was exactly what Kitahara Sosuke expected.

After finishing the reading of the indictment, Hayataro Chino informed Sosuke Kitahara of his rights, and then ruled to enter the stage of public trial.

This is followed by presentations by the defendant, plaintiff, prosecutor and defense attorneys.

Takayuki Yagami stared at the messy hair, and slowly spoke a brief but powerful statement. At the moment, he and Sosuke Kitahara were most talked about by the audience in front of the TV, but their outstanding looks.

After the statement was over, Hayataro Chino announced that he had officially entered the most important part of the investigation and evidence.

"Dear magistrate, regarding Kitahara Sosuke's crimes of financial fraud and abuse of office." Yoshika Baba said loudly, halfway through the sentence.

"My entrusted agent has not been proven to have committed such a crime, please don't make such a conclusion at will!" Yagami Takayuki looked at Baba Yoshika coldly.

"Silence! The defense lawyer, please don't interrupt the prosecutor's words at will during the evidence investigation stage." Chino Hayataro stared angrily.

What's up with the defense attorney?

Why is he more angry than Kitahara Sosuke?
"Regarding the above two crimes, I implore our witnesses to testify in court." Yoshika Baba smiled and glanced at Takayuki Yagami, this idiot, at first glance, was a waste with a simple mind and well-developed limbs.

Kitahara Sosuke is a good match with him.

"Okay, Witness No. [-], loan customer representative of the Osaka Chuo Branch of the Tokyo Industrial Bank, Kazumasa Koizumi, Finance Minister of Yamamoto Construction, is allowed to attend."

Koizumi Kazumasa with a wretched face came to the witness stand with a hunched body and a smile.

"Dear magistrates, hello everyone, I am Koizumi Kazumasa, Director of the Finance Department of Yamamoto Construction Co., Ltd." He bowed slightly to the front, and then turned to look at Sosuke Kitahara in the dock.

Unexpected, Kitahara Sosuke!
Kitahara Sosuke thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember who it was, anyway, it was just an insignificant character.

"Magistrate, may I question witness No. [-]?" Yoshika Baba looked at Hayataro Chino.

"Yes." Hayataro Chino nodded slightly.

"Minister Koizumi, please state Sosuke Kitahara's crimes in front of the magistrate. Please tell us how he oppressed Yamamoto Construction step by step, causing you to go bankrupt and the president to commit suicide."
