Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 387 The Right to Appoint a Lawyer

"Do you still want to hire a lawyer?!" A savage roar echoed in the warehouse.

Morimoto was pressed tightly on the ground, his neck seemed to be strangled by a rope. In order to take a breath of air, he had to mobilize all his strength.His complexion became redder than ever before.However, he didn't know what kind of belief was making him persist.Morimoto still opened his mouth tenaciously, trying desperately to speak.

Morimoto is homesick.

He became homesick like never before.

When he knew that he would spend 8 years in prison, he was terrified.

"You still don't accept it, do you?" The muscular man in the prison uniform frowned, and the muscles in his hands bulged again, adding a little more strength.

"Hey! Stop it. Don't have an accident." Someone in the warehouse said.

The muscular man turned his head and glared at the crowd, then looked at Morimoto who was under him, his expression became more dissatisfied, he hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to let go.However, the moment he let go of his hand, he pulled Morimoto up again, making it clear that he wanted to teach this "disobedient" person a lesson.

"Stop it." An older man in the warehouse smiled wickedly and said, "He wants to hire a lawyer so much, let him go and talk to the guard."

The muscular man was about to reply, "Don't mind your own business", but after seeing the old man's smirk, he immediately understood, and a smile appeared on his face, so he lifted his foot and kicked Morimoto forward, " That’s fine. Then go ahead and ask the guards quickly.”

Morimoto staggered a few steps forward, coughed uncontrollably, and leaned on the wall to support his body.He is highly myopic, and he can only know the location of the barn door by relying on a barely bright light in front of him.He then leaned against the wall and walked towards the barn door.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the corridor.Several men in the uniform of the detention center inspected each warehouse and walked slowly towards No. [-] warehouse.

"Mr. Warden! I want to hire a lawyer! I want to hire a lawyer!" Morimoto shouted while grabbing the railing of the barn door.Although he couldn't see the world in front of him clearly, in the past few months, he has become extremely familiar with the sound of the guard's approaching footsteps.

A guard walked over slowly, glanced coldly at the barn, then took out his baton and slammed it on the iron pole, "Hand!!"

The harsh banging of railings echoed in the corridor.

Morimoto was taken aback by the movement of the baton, and immediately retracted his hands. He immediately stood there in panic, and stammered, "Hold... sorry... Mr. Warden... I will... …will never hold on to the railing like that again.”

"You can't yell in the future, do you hear me!" the guard said impatiently.

"Okay... okay."

The guard blew his whistle, then continued to walk, leisurely and leisurely.

"Wait! Mr. Warden, I want to hire a lawyer." Seeing that the guard was about to leave again, Morimoto hurriedly took another step forward, and unconsciously grabbed the railing again. However, the moment he touched the cold metal surface, he recalled After the reprimand just now, he immediately retracted his hand like an electric shock.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" The guard turned his head, his eyes widened slightly, as if deliberately putting on a curious face.

"A lawyer."

"Say it again?"

"I want a lawyer."

The guard couldn't help but let out a strange laugh, as if hearing something ridiculous, he laughed.Gradually, from trying to control the smile at the beginning, to finally being completely uncontrollable and laughing out loud.

Morimoto didn't understand why the guard in front of him laughed like this, swallowed, and said with a trembling voice, "I...I really want to hire a lawyer. According to...according to the law, I have the right to hire a lawyer. I... …I know what the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates. From the day the accused…is interrogated…or taken compulsory measures, he has the right to entrust a defense lawyer.”

Gradually, the guard held back his laughter, and his eyes fell on the prisoner in front of him, showing a kind of profound playfulness. He immediately stood in front of the barn door and said, "Okay, okay. The law stipulates that I will protect your rights. Well then, please tell me the name of the lawyer you want to entrust and his contact information. "

"Huh?" Morimoto was stunned when he heard the guard's answer, and suddenly he didn't know how to answer this question.Attorney's name and contact information.I... I don't know.Or should I say, I don't even know which lawyer to hire, how could I know the lawyer's name and contact information.

"I... I don't know." Morimoto paused for a while, then said in a daze.

The guard shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "If that's the case, then you can't blame me. Don't you want to hire a lawyer, then you can tell me the name and contact number of the lawyer you want to hire. However, if you don't even have any I can’t even provide the information, how can I help you? I have guaranteed your right to hire a lawyer according to the law, but you can’t tell who you want to hire, who is to blame?”

The smile on the guard's face grew stronger, as if he had found a secret weapon to torture the prisoner in front of him.

Listening to the guard's answer, Morimoto's mind went blank, "No...it's not like this. The right to hire a lawyer stipulated by the law is not...it's not like this. How...how can it be because I can't tell the name and contact name of the lawyer I want to hire? The way, just like this...reject me like this."

The guard smiled even more sinisterly, "Then you tell me how I should protect your right to hire a lawyer. There are thousands of law firms in Kyoto, and the total number of lawyers is nearly [-]. Is it possible that I will take all the lawyers? The roster of firms and the roster of lawyers are all printed out for you to pick one by one slowly. Is this what the law stipulates?!"

At the last sentence, the guard raised his voice sharply.

Morimoto couldn't believe this was the response he got when he asked for a lawyer.There must be... something must have gone wrong.If a person is suddenly caught in a detention center and he didn't know a lawyer before, how could he report the name and phone number of a lawyer.There must be... there must be a mistake somewhere.The right of the defendant to entrust a defense lawyer stipulated by the law must... definitely not like this.

"Sure...something must be wrong." Morimoto trembled, "I...I can't tell what's wrong. Please, Mr. Warden, I really want to hire a lawyer."

"Report." The guard took a step forward and tapped on the railing with his baton. "I have fulfilled my right to guarantee you to hire a lawyer in strict accordance with the Criminal Procedure Law. As long as you can report the name of a lawyer, I will help you." Please. You should apply, hurry up and report the name and contact number of the lawyer you want to hire!"

The guard's unscrupulous laughter wafted through the corridor of the detention center.

The Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that criminal suspects subject to compulsory measures have the right to hire a lawyer.

However, when you were suddenly detained in a detention center, could you name and telephone number of a lawyer?

In the spring that just got warmer in Kyoto, the temperature has experienced another drop, and the world has vaguely revealed a hideous side again...
