Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 383 Audit Team

Office 806, Building D, Teaching and Research Building, Kyoto University.

A woman in a silver-gray suit sat behind an office chair, her brows were furrowed, and she was lighting a cigarette.Curly white smoke surrounds the small room, and the staff inside seem to be a little uncomfortable because of the smell of smoke, but no one dares to point out.

The office is full of various files and materials, and many people are working nervously.The fax machine next to the woman in the silver-gray suit would ring from time to time, sending out materials, but she didn't seem to care, and just casually let the spit out A4 paper fall on the table.

This woman is the Fourth Bureau of the General Bureau of Accounting and Inspection Institute, the first section of the Ministry of Education's scientific inspection, and the chief investigator Yuki Fengzi.Yuki is 32 years old. Although he is still young in public affairs, he has already handled many major audit cases.The well-known cases he has handled include the construction audit case of the Art Museum of Hokkaido University and the counterfeiting case of biological laboratory equipment at Kobe University.It can be said that in the field of university auditing, he is already a first-class investigator.

Yuuki lightly exhaled another puff of white smoke, looked at the cigarette case in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

she was thinking.

She was trying to figure out the intentions of her superiors.

The form of the investigation at Kyoto University this time is very abnormal.Originally, as an investigator of the Accounting Inspection Institute, she could just be stationed at Kyoto University to conduct audits in the name of the Ministry of Education's first division of scientific inspection.However, this time the superior did not arrange it this way.Instead, let her work in the name of the Academic Promotion Committee in the form of seconding personnel from the Accounting Inspection Office.

Although the people are still her people, and her subordinates are still her subordinates, they do not have the name of the Accounting Inspection Institute.In other words, she can only be regarded as the self-examination of the Academic Promotion Association at best, and she is not performing her duties as the country's auditor at all.

This arrangement is very abnormal.

Relying on his experience, Yuki faintly smelled the traces of the fierce struggle among the big shots at the top.Some people want to check Kyoto University, but some people don't want to check Kyoto University.

These two forces are obviously extremely unusual.Those who dare to investigate the first-class universities in the East must have power beyond their imagination.And those who dare to obstruct this level of investigation, their power must be a monstrous existence.

The computer screen on the desk glowed with light.The screen is exactly the instructions given by the Fourth Directorate of the General Administration of Affairs for this audit.Her superiors repeatedly asked her to be familiar with the work instructions of this audit, so as to ensure that the personnel seconded for this audit can successfully complete the task.

On the first page of the opening article, there are a few large characters——

"Should be thoroughly investigated and accurately audited."

Yuuki has been thinking for a long time, but he has not been able to understand the meaning of these eight characters.In her opinion, these simple eight characters can have two completely opposite interpretations.

The first understanding is to conduct a comprehensive audit of all suspicious funds used by Kyoto University. "Should be investigated thoroughly", that is, everything suspicious should be investigated.The meaning of "precision audit" is to find out the big fish and find out the main people on the basis of comprehensive audit.

The second understanding is more subtle.The so-called "should be investigated and investigated" means "everything that should be investigated should be investigated."And "do not investigate everything that should not be investigated."As for the so-called "precision audit", it means not to expand the scope and to close the case as soon as possible.In other words, under the second understanding, I need to actively control the scope of the audit and avoid expanding the situation.

Yuuki felt a headache.

She has been vacillating between these two understandings.

Besides the headache, she felt even more uncomfortable.

It seems that I have become a pawn, being manipulated by invisible people.

Although I am an investigator, I already know that in some cases, the so-called audit is just a power struggle between the big shots, but under normal circumstances, I will not encounter any problems if I perform my duties properly.

Only this time, the ominous premonition was very strong.

On the desk in the office, there is a news magazine.The magazine was open, and the words "Industry-Research Joint Strategy—Professor Ogawara's Controversy" were imprinted on the page.

Yuuki's gaze didn't stay on the content of this report, she had already turned this report up and down more than fifty times.Yuuki stared at the column of the author of this report—Niwa Marina, the name.

"This reporter named Niwa, how is it now?" Yuki said.

An auditor in the office replied: "She is currently staying in a hotel in Kyoto. Last time we approached her to find out more details about the report, she reported to us that she had been harassed by phone calls from unknown persons." .Now she has moved to a safer hotel."

"After we found her, did the nuisance stop?" Yuki said in a deep voice.

"It didn't stop, it continued."

Yuuki's brows could not help but wrinkle even tighter.Although he came out this time under the name of the Academic Promotion Committee, as long as he knows a little bit, he can know that he is a member of the Accounting Inspection Institute.Dare to harass someone who has been questioned by the Accounting Inspection Institute, this is simply lawless.

The female investigator immediately said: "Report to the Fourth Bureau, and Nishino, the head of the Kyoto Prefecture. I don't believe that a university, a research institution, not a bank vault, can bring out any monsters!"

"Yes, we will step up coordination." The auditor quickly replied, then turned around and was about to hand it over immediately.

"Wait." Yuki suddenly shouted again.

"What? Investigator, do you have anything else to tell your subordinates?"

"How is the communication with the procuratorate? We also need to see a lot of materials in Morimoto's case. Now that the materials are withheld by the procuratorate, what do they say?"

The auditor looked distressed and said, "Investigator Yucheng. The matter is still relatively difficult, because the people at the procuratorate said that this involves criminal proceedings, and the case has not yet been concluded. We cannot see many case files. They Confidentiality is required."

Yuki nodded, but his mood became more and more depressed.Originally, the industry-research joint venture of the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University was the focus of my audit schedule this time.However, before the audit was launched, criminal cases took the lead.Even if it happened, the criminal procedure turned out to be a shield to some extent.

The strict confidentiality requirements for case file materials in criminal proceedings hindered many actions of the audit team.A large number of materials are being withheld by the police and prosecutors, and I have no way of accessing them.

Yuuki even has a feeling.

This seems to be a coincidence, could it be an elaborate design.

Thinking of this possibility, Yuki couldn't help feeling a creepy feeling in his heart.If a person can think of using criminal procedures to block the actions of the audit team, it shows that this person's study of the law has reached an extremely terrifying and exquisite level.

Yuuki glanced at the temporarily borrowed university office again, and said, "In terms of communication with the prosecutor's office, everyone should think of a way. Then, everyone should pay more attention when operating in Kyoto. The reporter named Niwa encountered If we arrive, we may not encounter it.”

"Yes!" replied the auditors in the office.

One of them touched his head, as if remembering something, he took a step forward and said, "By the way, Investigator Yuki. I have to report one more thing. Recently, in the case of Morimoto, he newly entrusted There is a defense lawyer from Tokyo whose name seems to be Yoshiichi Kitahara."
