Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 145 The Trial of Saeko Miyagawa
At this moment, at the moment when Gu Meimen sent out the test against Machiko, the hot pot lunch of Kitahara, Takai, and Hanada's female team members had ended.The two sides said goodbye at the entrance of the restaurant, and waved each other reluctantly.In this situation, Beiyuan and Miyagawa didn't look like their lawyers, but like old friends they haven't seen for many years.

"Beiyuan, just finished eating, let's go for a walk." Miyakawa stuck out his tongue quietly, licked the foam from the corner of his mouth with some satisfaction, and then wiped it with a tissue.

"Ah."

Next to the hot pot restaurant, there is a tree-lined path surrounded by bamboo.Layers of bamboo shadows cover each other, and under the breeze blowing, there is a subtle sound of leaves rubbing against each other.Among the steel and concrete skyscrapers, there is such a tree-lined path, which is a wonder, but I don't know where this tree-lined path will lead.

Miyagawa and Kitahara walked side by side into this bamboo forest path.

Walking beside Beiyuan, Miyakawa's heart beat a little wildly.Just now when she was having dinner with those female team members at the hot pot restaurant, Hua Tian specially taught her a gesture: I love you.

Pointing at yourself with the index finger first is for "I".

Then make a gesture of thumb, and gently touch the thumb with the other hand, which is "love".

Then, point your index finger at the other person as "you".

These three actions, connected together, is [I love you]

For some reason, by Kitahara's side, Miyagawa's mind was full of this gesture.Unknowingly, her footsteps moved a little closer to Beiyuan.She felt more and more that staying by Bei Yuan's side gave her an inexplicable sense of security.

It seems that standing behind him, you don't have to be afraid of all the ups and downs in the world.

Beiyuan... What kind of emotion do I have towards Beiyuan-kun?

As the tree-lined path goes deeper and deeper, the surrounding bamboos seem to be receding continuously, and gradually the outline of a majestic red-pillared temple appears faintly in the bamboo shadows.The black cornices are like a giant bird slowly spreading its wings, revealing a unique sense of solemnity.

Seeing this temple, Miyagawa was taken aback for a moment, and then realized, "Look at Kitahara, it's actually a shrine. It's the Hanazono Shrine! I didn't expect the Hanazono Shrine in Shinjuku to be nearby!"

Hanazono Shrine is an ancient temple with a history of hundreds of years. As early as the Warring States Period, before Tokugawa Ieyasu became the shogun, Hanazono Shrine was already the central shrine enshrined in Shinjuku. It is known as the chief guardian of Shinjuku.Here, even low-key celebrities often meet and pay homage here.

Although surrounded by high-rise buildings of reinforced concrete, Hanazono Shrine still stands here.

"Why do you suddenly want to go to the shrine?" Bei Yuan looked at the over-excited female assistant in front of him and smiled.

"Let's go and have a look." Unknowingly, Miyagawa's tone was a little coquettish.She didn't even notice this coquettish tone.

Miyagawa looked at Hanazono Shrine and blinked his eyes.

Girls always believe in various coincidences and chances in the dark.

It is believed that there is some kind of mysterious connection behind all events.Behind these coincidences and connections is fate.I was thinking about my feelings for Kitahara when I suddenly came across this Hanazono shrine.I must go in and ask for a signature.

"Christmas will be coming soon, let's go in and have a look." Miyakawa pouted.

"Heh." Beiyuan burst out laughing, "The god of Christmas, are you sure it's the same as the god of the shrine?"

Hearing what Kitahara said, Miyagawa suddenly realized that he had said another stupid thing just now, his face flushed a little, but he still dragged Kitahara regardless, and accompanied him to Hanazono Shrine.

In the side hall of the Hanazono Shrine, a string of ropes and rattles are hung, and a lottery cylinder is placed on the shelf next to it.The dim light in the shrine and the half-covered silhouette of the god behind the curtain fully highlighted the mystery of this religion.Incense is lingering around the shrine, and white mist faintly drifts into the side hall.

The people who come in to worship have various postures.Some put their hands together first, and then kneel down.There are also those who kneel first and put their hands together.

Miyakawa also became serious, shook the rope, put his palms together, murmured something, then knelt on the mat with a lottery and shook it.

Beiyuan was behind Miyagawa, so he was not very interested in these acts of asking for lots and worshiping gods.However, when he looked at the girl's back, some thoughts in his heart came out.

Kitahara wanted to polish Miyagawa again.

The current Miyagawa is still too comfortable.

He wanted to give the girl in front of him some more push.

She always has to grow and achieve her own independence.

"Miyagawa."

At the moment when Beiyuan's voice sounded, a bamboo stick that happened to be in the stick also flew out of the stick, and fell to the ground with a crisp "click".

When Beiyuan suddenly yelled, Miyagawa panicked inexplicably. She grabbed the signature on the ground, held it in her hand before she had time to read it, and turned to look at Beiyuan.

"What's the matter? Beiyuan." Miyagawa asked nervously.

"You have been an intern with me for several months. I think it's time for you to try to change your role." Bei Yuan said.

"Turn...change?" Miyagawa asked in surprise, not understanding Beiyuan's meaning for a moment.

"What I want to express is, Miyagawa, it's time for you to try to handle the case independently. I think this right of way in the neighboring land is just an excellent opportunity for you to exercise. Time is tight, and you must Quickly familiarize yourself with the case materials within a short period of time, then refine the legal point of view, and respond to the other party’s lawsuit in an orderly manner.”

"In this dispute over the right of way in neighboring land, you, Miyagawa, will be the lead lawyer. That is to say, in this dispute over the right of way in neighboring land, you will be responsible for the main and core work. In order to ensure that you can Complete the work independently, from the drafting of the documents, to the mediation negotiation on Monday, and to the hearing on Wednesday, I will not participate. That is to say, although I will be by your side in court at that time, I will not Say a word. All the proof, cross-examination and debate in the court session will be done by you alone."

After listening to Kitahara's words, Miyagawa opened his mouth slightly.

Unexpectedly, Beiyuan would throw this dispute over the right of way in the neighboring land to himself in a flash.

I... I am finally going to try to start handling cases independently.

On the one hand, Miyakawa felt joyful in his heart, and he was happy with Beiyuan's trust. He was willing to let him handle this case independently.But on the other hand, she felt nervous again.If what Bei Yuan said was serious, if Bei Yuan really didn't say a word in court, then he would no longer have Bei Yuan's protection, and would face the storm from his opponent alone.

Miyagawa thought of Kitahara's figure in the court trial in the Kawamoto Expressway case, and secretly made up his mind to narrow the gap with Kitahara.Miyagawa took a deep breath, straightened his body slightly, and replied, "Okay, Kitahara. I will definitely not let you down."

"This spirit is very good." Bei Yuan said with a smile.

After finishing the conversation, Miyagawa turned around and turned his back to Kitahara.Before she had time to read the signature just now, she carefully opened her fingers holding the bamboo stick, as if holding a baby, lowered her head, and read the signature seriously.However, when she saw the first sentence of the signature, her delicate eyebrows trembled.

But I saw two cold Chinese characters written in ink on the old and cracked bamboo stick:
[Great Evil]
