Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 281 He is here

Friday, 9:52 a.m.

Conference room on the 7th floor, Building A, Comprehensive Research Building, Kyoto University.

Eight minutes before the start of the disciplinary hearing, the long table in the conference room was already full of dignitaries from the school.Including the chairman of the Academic Ethics Committee, three school directors, the deputy dean of the humanities research discipline, the director of the University's International Liaison Department, the director of the Office of Academic Discipline and Punishment, and two standing members of the school committee.

Professor Utsunomiya was sitting in the middle of the long table among these big figures, with his head held high, and the slightly white temples on both sides were like those of the king of beasts, exuding a calm and majestic demeanor. The sense of dignity that the host of the disciplinary hearing should have is vividly reflected.

There was a sense of tension in the atmosphere at the scene.After all, this is Kyoto University, one of the highest universities in the East.The matter of academic plagiarism is also related to the lofty reputation of the university. Therefore, no one at the scene dared to show negligence.However, what most people don't know is that even on such a seemingly sacred and solemn occasion, the outcome of the hearing has already been quietly doomed.

Although Utsunomiya was sitting upright, he felt bored inside.Among the top management of the school, a hidden consensus has already been reached.As soon as Vice President Takeuchi took office, Dean Fujimura, who supported him, was involved in plagiarism.The bigwigs at the school don't think it's just a coincidence, and behind the plagiarism complaint may be some form of power struggle by Takeuchi's opposition.
Especially after they learned that the so-called accusation of "plagiarism" was only aimed at the punctuation marks in ancient books, the high-level officials became even more convinced that this sudden complaint was "drunkard's intention to drink", and its real purpose may be lies in the power struggle within the university.On the surface, it is pointing to Fujimura, but in fact, the sword is pointing at the vice principal Takeuchi.

The instruction Utsunomiya received was to make big things into small things, and make small things into small things.

Settle Xiachuan.

It doesn't really matter if there is plagiarism or not.

Yes.

In all things, the truth of the matter is not important.

What really matters is whether or not the power in the hand is held tightly enough.

This is the truth of this world.

At this moment, Fujimura was already sitting in the meeting place, looking at the materials in front of him, with a dignified expression, and still showing a bit of nervousness.Although he has been told that there is no need to worry, sitting in this kind of situation, it is inevitable that some anxiety will arise.Fujimura raised his head and looked at Utsunomiya in the middle of the long table.

Sensing the dean's gaze, Utsunomiya gave him a quiet wink, telling him not to worry.Before the hearing, Fujimura asked him what he would do if he went to Sichuan and brought the lawyer to the hearing.

I told Fujimura myself that this kind of thing is impossible.

Disciplinary hearings are internal University meetings.

It is impossible for outsiders to participate.

Even lawyers have to wait outside obediently.

The university reserves the right to prevent outsiders from participating in meetings that reach an internal level of secrecy.

Therefore, Utsunomiya was not at all worried about lawyers participating in disciplinary hearings.

The intellectual property professor of the Faculty of Law raised his head again and looked around the venue.The chair in Xiachuan was still empty, and the other party hadn't arrived yet.

Although the university was surprised by Shimogawa's complaint, Utsunomiya read more subtle signals from this move.

From Utsunomiya's point of view, Shimogawa filed a disciplinary complaint within the university. On the surface, it seemed aggressive, but it exposed the opponent's lack of confidence.Wanting to solve this matter within the university first shows that the other party has no determination to completely break with the university and wants to leave room for it.

People who always want to leave room will be unable to do things.

I have seen many people like Shimogawa in Utsunomiya's teaching career.

It's nothing more than doing dead learning in the study and not interacting with others.

This kind of scholars are often brainless.

Utsunomiya knows very well that the reason why he has the position he is in today is because he has figured out a seemingly absurd but very simple thing.

University is not a place to learn.

When you understand this point, you will fully know the rules for surviving in the university.

People like Xiachuan will be eliminated sooner or later.

Utsunomiya could even imagine that Shimokawa would become at a loss when he was asked a few times by himself during the disciplinary hearing.

A scholar who studies in his study.

The other is a professor lawyer who is skilled in both campus and court.

The gap in experience between the two can even be described as a gap.

Utsunomiya looked down at his watch, the pointer on the watch had already reached 10:3, and it had been more than 3 minutes since the hearing would start, however, Shimokawa still did not come.

It seems that he is going to be a turtle.

Utsunomiya sneered, coughed slightly, raised his voice, and announced to everyone in the meeting room: "The disciplinary hearing was originally scheduled to start at 10 o'clock. But the complainant, Professor Shimogawa, has not yet appeared at the meeting. According to the school's discipline Hearing meeting rules. If the appellant fails to appear within 15 minutes after the hearing meeting starts, it is deemed to have given up the appeal. According to this rule, if Professor Shimogawa has not yet appeared at 10:15, the disciplinary procedure hearing The interrogation process is over."

Hearing Utsunomiya's announcement, the people in the conference hall immediately bowed their heads and whispered.The abnormal state of Shimogawa's absence seems to further confirm the judgment of the school's senior officials that this so-called "complaint" is actually a power struggle.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door of the meeting room.It seems that there are conversations coming from the corridor, and the voice is not small.Even the sound of arguing could be faintly heard.From a distance, it seemed that there were crowds gathered at the door, and they didn't know what happened.

Utsunomiya frowned, and said to an administrative employee next to him, "There must be no noise near the site of the disciplinary hearing! Stop the noise immediately. Also, call Shimokawa. If he doesn't arrive by 10:15, Then his disciplinary appeal procedure with the Academic Ethics Committee will be terminated."

"Okay, Professor Utsunomiya." The administrative staff replied a little nervously, then turned around immediately, and rushed to the door of the meeting room with trembling footsteps.

However, it took a while.

The conversation outside the meeting room seemed to be amplified a lot.

The dissatisfaction and loud shouting became a little clearer.

The crowd at the door seemed to be a little bigger.

It seems that someone is trying to argue for something.

Immediately afterwards, the administrative employee who had just rushed over ran back in a hurry, with an anxious look on his face.

However, before he could speak, Utsunomiya turned slightly angry, "What the hell is going on! How can someone make noise outside on such a serious occasion! Hurry up and stop it! This kind of thing is left alone, what else does the university have?" majesty!"

Seeing that the host of the disciplinary hearing in front of him was angry, the administrative staff swallowed, and hurriedly said: "Professor Utsunomiya, it's Shimogawa! Shimogawa is already outside. But...but he was blocked outside gone."

"Can you make it clearer?" Utsunomiya said impatiently, "Why is he blocked outside? Okay, why don't you let him in."

"Because... because, he brought a lawyer." The administrative staff said with a trembling voice, as if he didn't know what to do because he had never dealt with such a situation before.
