Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 335 Sentence Segmentation
"Oh?" Kitahara said as he strolled on the court, "It seems that Professor Utsunomiya thinks that there can be no diversification of ancient prose checks."

"Of course." Utsunomiya sneered, and then he looked at the audience in the court, "It's like there is only one railway connecting two cities. Then no matter how you go, you must pass this railway. Therefore, you Must have the same movement path as others."

"Just because you move in the same way as other people, does that mean you're a stalker? That's obviously not true. You move in the same way as other people, not because you want to stalk them, but because of the two. There is only one railway between the cities!"

Utsunomiya raised his voice and took a few steps forward, his brows trembling, as if he wanted to push the plaintiff's lawyer into a desperate situation from which there was no way out.

Seeing that the famous law professor seemed to show his teeth and claws, Bei Yuan smiled again.

In this smile, it seems that a hundred thousand troops are ambushing.

It seems that there is a pipa sound in an instant.

First, there were a few subtle sounds of the piano, which came slowly.Just when it gave people a sense of relaxation, suddenly, the strings burst, and the sound turned into shrill and sharp.

The shadows of swords and swords kept floating.

Numerous soldiers held sharp scimitars, rushed out from the depths of the long-dormant dense forest, and rushed towards the enemy in front of them.

Beiyuan pressed the remote control again, the whiteboard on the screen flickered again, and two sentences of ancient Chinese without punctuation appeared before everyone's eyes.

Seeing this young man like this, Utsunomiya was a little taken aback.What is he doing?Is he going to claim that there are multiple possibilities for punctuating sentences in ancient books?Impossible, absolutely impossible.How to break a sentence, there must be only one form, there can be no second form!

Beiyuan held the remote control in his hand like a butcher knife, and said with a cautious smile, "Just now, the defendant's attorney said that the punctuation and annotations in ancient books have only limited forms, which will inevitably lead to repetition. This kind of understanding fully demonstrates that the defendant is completely ignorant of the work of collation of ancient books!"

The word ignorance echoed harshly in the courtroom.

The audience in the auditorium didn't think that the plaintiff's lawyer would use this word for a moment, and they couldn't help being stunned.A young lawyer who has just graduated uses "ignorance" to describe the famous legal authority in front of him, and dares to use the word "ignorance" to scold a famous professor with profound knowledge.

This scene may be too absurd, but it reveals a certain sense of irony. Some student union representatives who sympathized with Shimogawa couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Plaintiff's attorney, the court has warned you not to use such cathartic words again!" Judge Takanashi frowned slightly and raised her voice, "Now the court is officially warning you, if you use similar words again, you will be punished." Punish according to the relevant provisions of the Civil Procedure Law!"

Bei Yuan bowed slightly, "I'm sorry, chief referee. It's really the actions of the defendant in this case that make people too angry."

Out of sight, the corners of Bei Yuan's mouth curled up into a smile.

He did it on purpose.

After a lengthy technical comparison and proof, he believes that the judges in the referee's bench also have moments of exhaustion.At this time, deliberately saying these words is to refresh the tired judges so that they can focus on themselves.

Bei Yuan immediately turned around, looked at the whiteboard and said, "In fact, the original text of an ancient book often has a great change in meaning due to the difference in punctuation. This is by no means as simple as the defendant's attorney just said."

"Here, the attorney for the plaintiff cites two examples to the court for illustration."

The first unpunctuated ancient Chinese sentence on the projected whiteboard is:

[Three chapters of agreement with the father and elders, those who kill and injure others, and the robbery to make up for crimes are all removed from the Qin law]

"This Chinese sentence is excerpted from "Historical Records"." Beiyuan said, "This Chinese sentence is about an allusion called "Three Chapters of Covenants". That is, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, invaded Xianyang, the capital of the violent Qin king. Among them, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and the people of Xianyang agreed that only Murder, wounding, and theft are crimes, and the rest of the strict laws of Daqin are abolished."

"Among them, the first punctuation mode of this sentence is: 'There are three rules with the elders: the murderer dies, the wounding and theft are punishable. I will get rid of the Qin law'."

"That is, in the first sentence-sentence mode, the meaning of the Chinese text is that Han Gaozu re-enacted three laws and promulgated and implemented them, and abolished Qin laws."

Utsunomiya, who was in front of the dock, was a little dazed.There are three chapters in the agreement, he has heard this allusion before.Some excerpts from Shiji are also materials for the Chinese character training class in Dongyang High School.Isn't that how the sentence is broken?How else can it be broken? !

Bei Yuan paused for a moment, and then continued, "The second punctuation mode of this sentence is: 'A contract with the elders, there are three chapters of the law: the murderer dies, and the wounding and theft are punishable. I will get rid of the Qin law.'"

"Under the second pattern of sentence punctuation, the meaning of the Chinese text has changed significantly. That is, Han Gaozu no longer abolished the Qin Law and enacted three separate laws. Instead, Han Gaozu selected three laws from the Qin Law and deleted them. Go to the rest of the law."

"That is to say, in the first type of sentence, Liu Bang re-enacted the law. In the second type of sentence, Liu Bang selected three laws from the Qin Law. Here, the meaning of the Chinese sentence has undergone a non-negligible change. Only It's just a comma difference, but it leads to two different understandings."

"From this example, it can be seen that the punctuation marks in ancient books will give us a different understanding of the specific process of historical events. This different understanding is by no means the limited forms of punctuation mentioned by the defendant's attorney just now. , in fact it will include the corrector's cognitive views on the relevant historical facts, rather than simple sentences!"

Beiyuan's first example immediately caused a strong shock in the courtroom.Many listeners in the auditorium have opened their mouths slightly, as if they did not expect to be able to make such an understanding.The three judges on the trial bench stared at the two methods of checking and punctuating sentences displayed on the projection whiteboard very seriously.

The three chapters of the contract are a historical allusion that is familiar to everyone in the East.

It is precisely because everyone is familiar with it that I am greatly surprised to read the second unusual view at this moment.

This young man used such an example to tell every audience in the court what a major in literature and history is.Even the drop of a comma can cause great controversy.

Looking at the example on the whiteboard in front of him, Utsunomiya froze completely.Why does this Beiyuan know so much?In such a short period of time, he not only had to be familiar with the relevant laws and regulations of copyright law, but also thoroughly delved into the specialized field of ancient book collation, to figure out what exactly was the literature and history collation.

How exactly did he do it?
How is it possible to figure out so much complex knowledge in such a short period of time? !

In an instant, an idea popped up in Utsunomiya's mind——

The young man in front of him was a monster...
