Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 381 New Cases

In the morning, 10:15.

Kyoto, The Liston Hotel, Room 1306.

Bei Yuan sat on the chair, frowning slightly, and tapped the table with his fingers.Today he is waiting for someone.Last night at around 1 o'clock, he received an urgent call from Sancheng, saying that a friend of hers was in big trouble, and he hoped that he could help take a look.After a brief understanding of the situation, Bei Yuan felt that the situation was unusually difficult.Because this time it involves a criminal case.

A criminal case is a case involving criminal law.Criminal law is often the harshest and cruelest law in a country.Once the defendant is convicted, he may be imprisoned or even deprived of his life.Their property was also confiscated by state agencies and they were prohibited from practicing a particular profession.

Although the criminal law of civilized society has eliminated such horrific and unusual punishments as corporal punishment, it is still a form of deprivation of personal liberty, confinement of the perpetrator in an extremely narrow cell, and possible heavy prison labor. Extremely heavy psychological torture.

There was a sense of tension in the room.Sancheng agreed on a time around 10 o'clock, and now more than ten minutes have passed.

Miyagawa next to him couldn't help but squeezed his hands.During the half a year that she followed Beiyuan, she hadn't done any criminal cases yet.She couldn't help but tense up when she thought that when the gavel fell, a defendant's life would be decided for more than ten years.If you lose a civil case, you may just lose money.However, criminal cases involve human life.How many decades can be wasted in a person's life?
Bei Yuan looked up at the clock again, and began to calculate in his heart.To be honest, he hasn't decided to take up the case yet.When I came to Kyoto this time, I was being watched by the police, and I was already unable to move.In addition, I still have to track down Jiang Teng's whereabouts. I have already run out of skills, and it is difficult to spare extra energy for a criminal case.

Suddenly, a "beep" sounded.

The electronic lock on the guest room door made a "click".

Immediately after, turning the handle, San Cheng's figure appeared behind the door, "Bei Yuan. My friend is here."

Following Sancheng was a thin woman.She is not tall, and the clothes she wears are relatively simple.Her hair was a little messy, her eye sockets were slightly swollen, her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was stained with tears.This woman is the researcher Kae Ishimura introduced by Sancheng yesterday.

Shi Cun's body trembled a little, he walked into the guest room step by step, saw a man sitting in the guest room, turned his head, and whispered to San Cheng, "Is he the lawyer Bei Yuan?"

"Yes. If you have any questions, you can ask him. If he can help, he will definitely help." Sancheng gently supported the researcher and comforted him in a low voice.

Ishimura looked forward again at the figure in the guest room, and couldn't help sobbing.She seemed to be alone for a long time, and in this room, she saw someone extending a helping hand to her in an instant, and the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart were suddenly ignited at this moment.

A tear trickled down Shicun's cheek. She took a sudden step forward, knelt on the ground suddenly, and slammed her forehead heavily on the hotel carpet, "Lawyer Beiyuan, please help my husband! Please help me!" Help my husband!"

Seeing this, Beiyuan hurried forward to help him up, "No need to do this. Dr. Shicun, get up quickly. If you have any questions, I will try my best to help you answer them."

Seeing this scene, Sancheng and Miyagawa next to him immediately helped him up.But Shicun was emotional for a while, and couldn't stop crying.Between the two girls, he supported Shicun to sit on the edge of the bed, and kept comforting him softly.It wasn't until more than half an hour passed that Shicun's mood gradually calmed down.

"Can you tell me what happened to your husband?" Beiyuan picked up a cup of black tea that was just delivered from the hotel restaurant, and some other pastries, and placed them next to Shicun.

"My husband's name is Naoya Morimoto." Ishimura said with a trembling voice, "He and I are both researchers at Kyoto University. He was taken away by the police in September last year. At first, the police said that my husband would not have What is it? I will be released on bail soon. But... But, my husband was immediately arrested and detained by the procuratorate."

"After being detained, the people in the procuratorate... told me again that it was just a process. When the prosecution was reviewed, my husband would be released and he would decide not to prosecute. But...but now, I only found out a month ago, My husband has already signed a plea affidavit at the detention center. The sentencing recommendation from the procuratorate to the court is 8 years in prison."

Shicun's face turned pale, especially when talking about the 8-year prison sentence, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, as if he couldn't accept it for a while, and his husband, who was fine all of a sudden, was about to stay in the cell for a long time. 8 full years of fact.

"What crime is your husband involved in?" Bei Yuan continued to ask.

"Corruption...corruption," Shi Cun said.

【Embezzlement】

[The so-called embezzlement refers to the behavior of state functionaries taking advantage of their positions to embezzle, steal, defraud or illegally occupy public property by other means.At the same time, the scope of state functionaries also includes personnel entrusted by state organs, state-owned companies, enterprises, and institutions to manage and operate state-owned properties]

Shicun just calmed down, and suddenly became agitated again, "My husband can't be corrupt! The people at the procuratorate said that my husband falsely listed expenses and obtained scientific research funds, so it constituted corruption. But this is not true at all. I Both my husband and I are newly recruited researchers at Kyoto University. How could we have the guts to embezzle university funds.”

Listening to Shicun's narration, Beiyuan began to think.Corruption is a troublesome crime.You don't need to think about it to know that there will be a lot of capital transactions and bookkeeping involved.And this is also a funding issue within the university.When Beiyuan was an undergraduate, he also helped professors in the law department with projects and had experience in reimbursement.He is well aware of how cumbersome the management and auditing of these funds and finances in the National University is.

Looking at Bei Yuan's thoughtful expression, Shicun couldn't control his mood even more. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the sleeve of the lawyer in front of him, "It's impossible for my husband to do such a thing. He obeys the project host's instructions on the use of all project funds." Arrangements, he will do whatever he says. He always listens to Daheyuan, he listens to Daheyuan! Everything is obeyed by Daheyuan, he is innocent, innocent!"

The female researcher broke down again and burst into tears.

In the guest room, the name "Ogawara" echoes...
