Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 92 Suda
In court, Kuno sincerely repented, Imamishi spoke righteously, and the two old foxes of society sang and performed a Shakespeare play like Romeo and Juliet.Outsiders who don't know the truth may even be moved by Kuno's pretentious appearance.In the eyes of those who are familiar with these two old foxes, this scene inevitably becomes a little funny.

Miyagawa sat in the plaintiff's seat, inadvertently admiring the performance of his father and Kuno.She found that her father's cross-examination of witnesses had completely destroyed the relevance of the video submitted by Beiyuan and the others.

【Relevance of Evidence】

[The so-called relevance of evidence means that there is a certain relationship between the evidence and the facts to be proved.For example, in a homicide case, if the prosecutor presents evidence of the suspect's violent and irritable character.Since there is no connection between the character evidence and the homicide, such evidence will be inadmissible due to lack of relevance]

If this video really turns out to be like Kuno said, and the inspection they are talking about is not a road inspection, then this video has nothing to do with the performance of the maintenance obligation of Kawamoto Expressway.

Miyagawa felt in his heart that Kuno must be lying, especially when he saw his superficially repentant, but actually complacent look.Miyagawa really wanted to stand up and question Kuno directly, but when he saw his well-trained appearance, he couldn't help backing down again.The father's cross-examination almost blocked all possible paths of questioning.

Miyakawa turned around and leaned closer to Kitahara. After whispering in his ear, Miyakawa stood up from his seat as if he had made an agreement: "Chief referee. I want to directly request the summoning of the witness Suda. To refute Sai Kuno's testimony."

Judge Kumagai on the stage nodded, stretched his arms slightly on the trial seat, relaxed his muscles, and said in a loud voice: "The witness has withdrawn. Submit the witness to Suda."

The door of the court was pushed open again.

"Crack, click, click."

There was a sound of high heels stepping on the ground.

A young girl in her twenties appeared outside the court. She wore a ponytail and looked pretty. She was wearing a white trench coat on her upper body and a pair of dark blue pants on her lower body. She was dressed in a smart and simple way.However, her face did not have the vigor and vitality of a young man in her twenties. Instead, she looked extremely tired, with the corners of her eyes pulled down, and her eyes were supported by a thick layer of dark circles, like Under some kind of great pressure.

Seeing Suda's haggard look, Miyagawa felt a little "thump" in his heart, feeling a little distressed.Since Suda called to express his willingness to testify.They communicate with each other on the phone all the time.Miyagawa learned that since the incident at the nursing center that day, Suda's position in the company has been frozen.

In his daily work, Suda is constantly insulted by his superiors and provoked in every possible way.At the same time, she was assigned to be on duty at night in the early hours of the morning, and she was in time to follow up the inspection work that started at [-] am.The two tight shifts lined up together, almost squeezed Suda's sleep time.

When talking to Suda last time, Miyagawa could faintly hear Suda's sobbing on the other end of the microphone.

Reminiscent of the experience that Suda told himself, seeing Kuno's proud look just now, Miyagawa frowned slightly, the sense of justice in his heart was suddenly aroused, and a small fire burst out of his heart .

Miyagawa stood up, walked to the witness stand, came to the side of Suda, and said in a low voice: "Suda, don't be afraid. Just tell everything you know. Tell me all about the grievances and unfair treatment you have received. Tell the judge and let the court do justice for you."

"Yeah." With a look of fear on his face, Suda nodded towards Miyagawa.

Miyagawa took a deep breath, straightened his upper body, raised his voice, and started cross-examining witnesses.

"Witness your name."

"Suda Chiyo."

"Position?"

"Inspector of the Maintenance Center of Section G227 of Kawamoto Expressway."

Miyagawa took a step forward, looked at Suda on the witness stand, and asked, "It is shown in the video we submitted to the court. Suda, you requested an inspection from the Nursing Center Bureau Nagano Yu on the afternoon of July 7th. ...However, Kunoyou rejected your request in a rude manner. I would like to ask you, what do you mean by the 'inspection' you mentioned that day, and whether you mean 'highway inspection'."

The moment Suda on the witness stand heard the question, his body began to tremble slightly as if he had suffered some kind of stress reaction.Both hands unconsciously grabbed the wooden railing of the witness stand in front of them, and the joint tendons on the back of the hands were lifted one by one due to the force.Her head lowered slightly, and her breathing became louder and louder, as if she was brewing some emotion.

Suda stood in the middle of the square surrounded by the small wooden fence and the table, like a girl who lost her way in the forest, with a pair of blood-red devil eyes staring at the girl in front of her in the dark of the forest, restraining her tightly.

There was an eerie silence in the courtroom.

"Witness?" Judge Kumagai on the judge's bench looked at this scene, coughed lightly, and couldn't help asking, "Please answer the lawyer's question."

On the side of Suda's face, some hair that was not tied into the ponytail hung down, covering her eyes, making it impossible to know what she was thinking.Immediately afterwards, a sudden "huh" was relieved, and the girl on the witness stand seemed to have made a great determination, and the heavy iron tuo in her heart was unloaded.When Suda raised his head again, his eyes were extremely cold, like a robot without any emotion.

But Suda said in an almost cold voice: "Chief referee. In the video, the inspection I proposed to Director Kuno does not refer to the maintenance inspection of the road surface, but only the inspection of the broken iron fence around the road."

The voice fell, and the entire court fell into an unprecedented silence.

The entire court audience seemed to wonder if their ears had heard it wrong.

They originally thought that what they got from Sudakou should be an affirmative answer.Suda replied that yes, the "inspection" she mentioned in the video refers to maintenance inspections to refute the testimony of the opposing defendant's witnesses.

But now, Suda directly said that the "inspection" in her mouth that day did not refer to maintenance road inspections. Isn't this the same as agreeing with the testimony of the defendant witness Kunoyu just now? !

Many people in the auditorium directly reached out to check their ears to check whether their hearing was normal.

If it wasn't that they misheard what Suda said, then they misheard that Suda was a witness for the plaintiff.How can the plaintiff himself call witnesses to refute such absurdity.

"That is to say..." Miyakawa nodded slightly, but in the next second, the expression on Miyakawa's face became completely stiff, as if his whole body was frozen by ice.What did Suda say just now? !Are you agreeing with what Kuno said just now? !Did she hear wrong? !

Miyagawa felt that his joints were filled with lead, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he turned his body slightly to face Suda.Miyagawa's voice trembled a little as if he didn't believe what was happening in front of him, "Su...Suda, have you...thought it through...do you need to re...organize the language?"

Miyagawa had just finished speaking.

next second.

Suda raised his head and looked at the referee seat in front of him. He raised his voice and said, "Chief referee. What I want to say is that during my tenure, the Kawamoto Expressway fully complied with the national standards and maintained the expressway."

Suddenly.

It was as if everything had returned to the scene that afternoon, what I experienced that day at the highway maintenance center.
