Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 72 The first decision of the court

The secret door was pushed open, and three magistrates walked into the courtroom and into the trial seat, and the chief referee in the middle was Judge Kumagai.Judge Kumagai still had an energetic and eager look on his face, making it difficult for people to see his true inner thoughts.As the three magistrates stepped into their seats, the courtroom suddenly became tense again.

Seeing the chief referee, Miyagawa's heart "thumped", the hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and his mood became solemn involuntarily.As soon as Judge Kumagai was about to announce whether to dismiss the lawsuit in this case, he couldn't help feeling anxious and flustered.

This is the first lawsuit in her life.

She wants to do well.

She didn't want to disappoint Terai.

She didn't want to disappoint Bei Yuan's trust in her.

In this lawsuit, many court documents were prepared by Miyagawa.She put a lot of effort into this lawsuit.Even if she lost in the end after a arduous struggle, she would admit it, after all, she had worked hard.

Miyagawa couldn't accept the result of being rejected just because of procedural issues, as if being sentenced to lose before a battle.

Sitting in the defendant's seat, Onoda couldn't help feeling happier when he saw Judge Kumagai and others coming in.After the 5-minute adjournment just now, he reviewed the trial just now in his mind.He has confidence, he has the upper hand.Especially considering Judge Kumagai took the initiative to interrupt Kitahara's signal.Judge Kumagai must have grown impatient with Kitahara's chattering sophistry.

Coupled with Judge Kumagai's pro-business attitude, Onoda believes that the chief referee will definitely agree with his point of view in the future, and decide that this case does not fall within the scope of civil cases, and dismiss the prosecution.

Onoda couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that he would see the referee dismiss the lawsuit brought by that annoying person later.Immediately, he turned his head slightly, and squinted at Bei Yuan who was on the plaintiff's seat.Bei Yuan still had that somewhat annoying expression on his face, still had that inexplicable smile and cynical expression.

Onoda couldn't help but fantasize about what happened next: the judge announced the dismissal of the prosecution, and then Kitahara looked panic-stricken.Yes, that's it.At that time, Miyagawa will find out who is the real outstanding talent.Onoda sat up slightly, ready to appreciate the embarrassing scene on the other side.

On the other side, Imanishi raised his head and looked at the judgment seat.According to his many years of experience, Onoda's trial performance just now was very good. Imanishi is [-]% sure that Kumagai will be persuaded by Onoda's opinion and dismiss the prosecution of this case.

As for the remaining [-]%, it is reserved for pure uncertainty, as a show of respect for God.After all, things like meteorites falling from the sky still happen.Judge Kumagai supports Kitahara's opinion, just like this extremely rare situation, it cannot be said that it is completely impossible, but it is theoretically possible.

In less than five minutes, his life will return to normal.

The court dismissed the prosecution.

Kawamoto Expressway's financing and share expansion plan continues to be implemented smoothly, and there is no need to issue an announcement of a major lawsuit.

The wild dog in the plaintiff's seat will also completely get out of the courtroom, and can only continue his tragic and unnoticed howling in a corner where no one else can see it.

Judge Kumagai sat on the trial seat, adjusted his sitting posture, and then scanned the hall. His eyes were like sharp eagle eyes. After seeing that the lawyers of both the plaintiff and the defendant were still in court, he smiled and said: "The case of Terai v. Kawamoto Expressway is now in court again."

"Crack!", the gavel fell and hit the wooden base below.

An extremely crisp sound burst out.

This knock made people feel awe and awe immediately.

The moment the gavel fell, Miyagawa felt his heart skip a beat, and the tension in his body became more intense. The hand holding the pen, due to excessive force, had slightly white knuckles. , the joints all over his body seemed to become stiff at this moment.

"As I said just now, I will decide whether this case falls within the scope of civil litigation. From deciding whether to dismiss the plaintiff's lawsuit, the next step is the court's decision." Judge Kumagai looked at the lawyers on the two seats and restrained his face. With a smile, he said sternly.

The air seemed to be affected by the judge's words at this moment, as if it was filled with lead.

Hearing the judge's words, Niwa, who was sitting in the public gallery, couldn't help becoming nervous, secretly worried for the two young lawyers in the plaintiff's seat.

Compared with the two senior lawyers on the Kawamoto Expressway opposite, the lawyers on the plaintiff's bench are still too young.

Failure is not surprising.

However, as soon as the case opened, it was declared that the case did not fall within the scope of civil cases, and the prosecution was dismissed.

This kind of failure is still too tragic.

It was like two armies at war. Before the two sides came into contact with each other, one of them was bombarded by the intensive artillery fire from the opposite side.

Time seems to be tormenting people

At this moment, the flow is particularly slow.

Every second seems to be tormenting people, deliberately becoming sluggish and viscous.

Judge Kumagai coughed, cleared his throat, and then said loudly: "After a collegiate discussion just now, we agreed that this case falls within the scope of the court's civil case. It is not inappropriate for the plaintiff to file a civil lawsuit against the Sichuan Expressway's failure to maintain the road surface."

Judge Kumagai's voice echoed in the courtroom.

As if echoing, the words kept echoing in the courtroom.

This case falls within the scope of civil litigation! ! !
The complacent Onoda was about to appreciate the failure on the opposite side, but when he heard Judge Kumagai's announcement of the decision, he was stunned.Just... just now, what did Judge Kumagai say?Is... Are you saying that this case... this case belongs to the scope of civil cases? !

After hearing clearly what Judge Kumagai said, a strong shock quickly took control of Onoda's mind.

At this time, Onoda, like a soldier sleeping soundly in the camp at night, was suddenly attacked fiercely by the opponent.

For a while, besieged on all sides, swords and swords.

How...how could it be like this? !
How did things become like this? !

How could Judge Kumagai approve of Kitahara's sophistry? !

After the shock, Onoda suddenly had a trace of fear in his heart—bear... When was Judge Kumagai persuaded by Kitahara? When he was arguing with Kitahara, which sentence did he start to lose?
Onoda didn't know.Yet it is precisely this ignorance that he fears.

Because this kind of ignorance implies a huge gap in strength.

After hearing the judge's announcement of the decision, Miyagawa felt as if a huge stone fell from his heart, and the huge tension just now was instantly released, replaced by an extremely strong emotion of joy welling up in his heart.The two slightly wrinkled brows on Miyagawa's face suddenly bloomed like flowers.

If, at this moment, he was not in the court, Miyagawa might be jumping up and down like a bird chirping and cheering.Miyagawa turned his head and shouted in a low voice full of excitement: "Beiyuan!"

However, looking back, Bei Yuan still had a calm expression.

He seemed to be used to it, and there was no emotion on his face.

On the contrary, Kitahara's expression became more focused, without any slack at all, and he was still vigilantly staring at another figure in the dock—Miyagawa's father, Imanishi.

In today's court hearing, Imanishi has not said a word.
