Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 393 The Sword of Damocles

In the guest room, Yuuki couldn't help coughing, took a sip from the cup containing rum, to hide his slightly embarrassed look.The reason why I chose to rush to the lawyer's hotel in the middle of the night was, in a sense, borrowing from the police's interrogation skills, so as to take the initiative when the other party was mentally exhausted.

But so far, it doesn't seem to be taking any advantage.

"Why, are you hesitating? This kind of sincerity is too lacking." Beiyuan shook the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile, "Since you came to the door on your own initiative and refused to report all the information about your family, how can I trust Your Excellency. "

Yuki frowned, thinking quickly about how to deal with the male lawyer.

"Actually, it goes without saying, who else could it be except the policeman." Bei Yuan leaned back on the chair, raised his eyebrows lightly, "Is it the Director Nishino?"

Hearing Nishino's name, Yuki couldn't help but said: "I hope you don't misjudge us. Indeed, we learned your personal information only with the help of the police. But this does not mean that we are the same as the police. Guys. We also know that you seem to be having some troubles with the police in Kyoto at the moment. But when it comes to Morimoto’s case, our interests are aligned.”

Holding the wine glass, Yuuki stood up from the chair, came to the window of the hotel, looked at the sky and night scenery of the ancient city, turned around and looked at Beiyuan, "The matter of the industry-research joint venture of the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University is now happening. In the end, the person responsible was just a researcher who just entered the university. Do you believe such a thing?"

"Therefore, lawyer Beiyuan, you and I have a common goal in this war. I will find out the big fish behind it, and your client can also benefit from it."

Bei Yuan looked at the figure in front of the window, "In this case, why didn't investigator Yucheng go directly to the police? If you can ask the police to check my information, why can't you ask the police or the procuratorate to let you check the relevant information?" Materials. Why bother to look far away and come to me.”

"This is the weirdness of the matter." Yuki lowered his voice a little, "Usually, if our accounting and inspection institute wants to check the files, we usually get the cooperation of the legal prosecution agency. However, this time, it is different. The police Needless to say, the procuratorate, they have already rejected my request on the grounds that the file was transferred to the court. The court rejected the accounting inspection on the grounds that the criminal trial is still in progress and the relevant file materials are state secrets. The court's review request."

"So now it is a very strange situation. That is, the conduct of criminal proceedings has blocked my investigation. Therefore, I can only ask for foreign aid. After much deliberation, only Beiyuan lawyers who have access to the review materials. At present, you are the only one You can apply to the court to review the papers in a fair and fair manner, and the court cannot stop you."

Listening to Yuuki's words, Kitahara faintly felt the shadow of swords and swords behind it.He had an intuition that this hemp rope situation might have been done on purpose.It's interesting, really interesting, to use criminal procedure to block the investigation of the audit agency.

"Do you also think that the occurrence of criminal cases and the interruption of audit procedures are not a coincidence, but a deliberate intention." Looking at Beiyuan's thoughtful expression, Yuki said, "I'm getting more and more The more I feel, there may be an opponent beyond our imagination in this audit against Kyoto University."

The room suddenly became quiet.The investigators present, as well as Miyagawa, swallowed unconsciously.For some reason, at this moment, they all felt a shudder at the same time.It seems that at this moment, there is an extremely terrifying enemy staring at them in the dark of the room.In the night view of Kyoto outside the high-rise windows, it seems that there are monsters hidden thousands of years ago in the corners of the streets, smelling the smell of everyone in the room.

"However, I'm sorry." Beiyuan suddenly broke the suddenly depressing atmosphere, "I have the obligation of confidentiality to the parties involved as stipulated in the Lawyer Law. Based on the requirement of confidentiality, it is impossible for me to disclose the relevant information of the case. The situation will be revealed to you."

When Yuuki heard what Bei Yuan said, he took a big stride and walked directly in front of Bei Yuan, "What if I am willing to provide you with benefits. I know that lawyers are in an extremely disadvantaged position in criminal proceedings."

"The defender is guilty of falsifying evidence." The corner of Yuki's mouth curled up slightly, "I know.Article [-] of the Criminal Law is like a sword of Damocles hanging over your heads. "

【Defender's Falsification of Evidence】

[The full name of the so-called crime of falsification of evidence by defenders is the crime of "defenders and attorneys ad litem destroying evidence, falsifying evidence, and obstructing testimony".This charge can be said to be a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all criminal defense lawyers.Unlike in civil litigation, lawyers can collect evidence on their own.In criminal proceedings, the legal risks of defense lawyers collecting evidence by themselves, especially evidence such as witness testimony, are extremely high.For example, once the witness repents again and makes a statement inconsistent with the testimony collected by the defense lawyer, the investigative agency angered by the defense lawyer can arrest the criminal lawyer for the crime of falsification of evidence by the defense lawyer]

"You are at a disadvantage in this lawsuit." Yuki said, "The large amount of materials in the file must have been prepared by the internal auditors of the procuratorate. If you can't collect more materials, then It will be difficult for you to get a favorable outcome for Morimoto."

"If, you cooperate with me. With the name of the Accounting Inspection Institute, the clause of the defender's falsification of evidence cannot pose a threat to you."

Beiyuan took a sip of his tea, "After all, you are a public authority. I have seen too many scenes where you say you regret it, and you regret it. If there is no one like a hostage, it is impossible for me to trust you yours."

"What do you want from me?"

"Your account number and password in the auditing system of the Fourth Bureau of the Accounting Inspection Institute. Only by handing over this can we be regarded as grasshoppers on a rope." Bei Yuan's expression suddenly became serious, and he said word by word.

Hearing the words of the lawyer in front of him, the expressions of several accompanying investigators all changed.An investigator couldn't help but said: "How could the investigator agree to such an unreasonable request of yours. Do you know how many audit cases are confidential in the system of our Accounting Inspection Institute? We absolutely cannot agree to this request!" "

"Oh?" Bei Yuan replied rather lazily, "I risked being punished by the Lawyers Association and tipped off your investigator. Your investigator risked the Accounting Inspection Office for me to reveal a little secret. Isn't this an equivalent exchange? I'm saying, I'm not interested in your other boring audit cases."

"Lawyer Beiyuan, you are really an interesting person." The smile on Yuki's face became more intense.Seeing the investigator's appearance, all the investigators present tensed up.As her subordinates, the investigators present knew that when the investigator showed this expression, he had agreed to the other party's request.

"However, didn't you just say that lawyers have an obligation of confidentiality and cannot cooperate with us?" Yucheng asked with a polite smile on his face, but changed the subject and asked abruptly.

"If the client agrees to waive the confidentiality obligation, the lawyer's confidentiality obligation will naturally be lifted." Bei Yuan responded with a smirk.

"I have to repeat it again. Lawyer Beiyuan, you are really interesting."
