Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Just when Kitahara took over the brown envelope from Mikiko, an unprecedented storm concerning Kyoto University had already unfolded ahead of schedule.In Tokyo, which is nearly 400 kilometers away from Kyoto, the prelude to this hurricane has quietly made ripples in a way that no one expected.Before the storm came, the black clouds overwhelming the city unexpectedly gathered in the sky above Tokyo first.

8:23pm.

Jiyugaoka, Meguro-ku, Tokyo.

Behind the office chair in the living room of an exquisite villa, a rather thin man was sitting.His hair was combed like a young boy, and he was wearing an extremely high-end suit and vest. The man's expression rarely showed a serious look. Even so, he still couldn't stop the look of disdain that emanated from his eyebrows. The pride of the world.

This man is—Gu Meimen.

Gu Meimen was feeling a little confused at this moment.The reason for the confusion is that this point came to the door, and the two clients who came to his firm, this lawyer with a [-]% winning rate raised his head again, and looked at the two uninvited guests who came to the firm in front of him.

On the sofa in this living room, sat two blond men.They were wearing black suits, and on the edge of the shoulders, traces of wetness from the rain could still be seen.It's raining heavily in Tokyo tonight.According to the two foreigners, they took a taxi and headed straight to Gu Meimen's office as soon as they got off the plane at Haneda Airport in Tokyo.

The visitor is not good.

The good ones don't come.

Gu Meimen frowned slightly, and continued to think in her heart.

"Please sign, Professor Utsunomiya." A lawyer in a suit said.

In the next second, President Terasawa's voice sounded again: "Professor Utsunomiya. The university is now conducting an internal investigation. We need to listen to your opinion as a professional. This is the purpose of today's meeting. This Internal investigations involve extremely high confidentiality. Therefore, we need you to sign such a non-disclosure agreement."

The lawyer witnessed the words echoed in the living room.

Hearing this sentence, the two foreign men immediately whispered to each other and whispered to each other.Immediately, the foreign man who spoke just now continued again,
"It's at Kyoto University."

"Shua", there was a soft page turning sound.

Utsunomiya was a little confused, but then another stack of heavy documents was placed in front of him.There was no other way, so Utsunomiya had no choice but to bite the bullet, sat in his seat, and opened the first page tentatively.

"Then why don't you go to the notary office?" Gu Mei extinguished the cigar in his hand, and asked again, "For this kind of entrustment, isn't it more convenient for you to go to the notary office? The document issued by the lawyer is not just in court. It can be recognized of course. Instead of coming to me to testify, it is better to go to the notary office."

"The notary offices in this country are all run by the city hall." The foreign man went on to say, "Considering the past and recent actions of the country of Toyo. I'm sorry, we can't trust the same government agency We are afraid that they will leak the information in advance. Therefore, at present, we can only rely on private lawyers in this country, especially barristers like Gu Meimen.”

But he could see the person in the center of the conference table with his back facing Utsunomiya.The black, towering back of the office chair covered most of his body, making it completely impossible to see who he was.Suddenly, there was a slight noise in the office chair, and it turned around "creaking".

Because this is the president of Kyoto University - Ryuji Terasawa!
Utsunomiya never expected that it would be Principal Terasawa! !How could it be Terasawa? !Utsunomiya couldn't believe his eyes.The style of President Terasawa's rule at Kyoto University is completely like that of a hypocrite.It is basically difficult to see the headmaster in major conferences.It is said that this afternoon, the university held an emergency countermeasure meeting on the Mikiko scandal, but even this kind of meeting, the president did not personally attend.Right now, he actually showed up at this unknown meeting at night, what is going on? !
"Professor Utsunomiya. Thank you for coming." Terasawa's voice sounded.

……

The foreign man didn't seem to expect that the lawyer in front of him could think so quickly, and he couldn't help being dumb for a while, before he said, "I'm very sorry. Lawyer Gu Meimen, we still can't disclose the specific details of the case unless you Sign an agency contract with us first. However, what we can guarantee is that we will unconditionally agree to any request for legal fees you make."

After seeing the first page of the internal investigation materials, Utsunomiya's eyes widened suddenly, and his heart suddenly beat violently.At this moment, Utsunomiya regretted it.He regretted stepping into this conference room.I originally wanted to shirk my physical discomfort and didn't want to come to this meeting tonight.However, it was too late.

"What kind of meeting is it? You have to call me over so late!" Utsunomiya cursed in a low voice.The famous professor who was originally depressed because he lost the plagiarism case of the Fujimura school, now because the university suddenly summoned him at night, he was rushed from the comfortable home to the somewhat cold campus, and even more so. It's because I'm out of breath, and I'm a little bored.The professor of intellectual property has always been indifferent to these administrative meetings of the university. He told himself that he would attend the meeting, but he did not tell him what the theme of the meeting was.This is simply a joke!

This law firm is a top notch law firm from Tokyo.

Hearing what the foreign man said, Gu Meimen's frown became deeper again, and he immediately raised his legs again: "Although you came to the firm to entrust me with a lawyer's witness business, it's over now. It's been half an hour. During this entire half an hour, you have never told me what exactly I need to witness."

"This internal investigation is a matter of life and death for us at Kyoto University. Please read the information about this internal investigation first."

that's it.

The curtain of a battle between red and black is slowly opened...

Interesting, really interesting.

On the day of the verdict in Mikiko's case—
In Kyoto——

The caution here is naturally justified.

The matters involved in this internal investigation of Kyoto University are definitely not something that people of my level should know.

Relying on the intuition of a lawyer, Gu Meimen has already faintly felt that this so-called lawyer's testimony may contain some kind of danger that she could not predict.However, I don't know why, the more this is the case, Gu Meimen is still eager to try.Two mysterious foreigners were willing to pay sky-high lawyer fees to invite themselves to Kyoto University for a lawyer's testimony, and they couldn't trust the notary office run by the entire Toyo City Hall.

Surprising.

Kyoto University, 10:23 p.m.

At the moment when Gu Meimen agreed to the commission——

The more this happened, the more I wanted to see what happened.

At night, Utsunomiya received an order from the university president and began to participate in a highly confidential internal investigation.

What happened today?
Why did the university suddenly make such a serious matter.

Utsunomiya glanced at those men in suits, and found that they were all wearing Sunflower Badges of Balance.what happened?The university also hired an external lawyer, and then the famous professor was even more shocked when he saw the signing of the non-disclosure agreement.The name of a law firm is written in the signed information.

It was Ono Changmatsu Law Firm in Long Island!

The luxurious ceiling lights in the entire conference room were all turned on, emitting extremely bright lights.

Utsunomiya, located in front of the conference table, felt as if a prisoner was being judged at this moment.

……

The meaning of life and death?Internal investigation?These sudden words made Utsunomiya quite puzzled.The University is to conduct an internal investigation.Who is it to investigate?Who is wrong?It turned out to be a matter of life and death, so that an external lawyer from Tokyo had to be hired to participate in the investigation.

Hearing Gu Meimen's words, the foreign man's expression suddenly became serious, "Lawyer Gu Meimen, the reason why we don't go to a notary office for notarization is very simple, that is——"

All I saw was a U-shaped display of long conference tables in front of me.Behind the long tables were all extremely powerful figures in the university, and there were about a dozen of them in the auditorium.The extremely powerful university figures who are impossible to see on weekdays are all gathered here at this moment.

The figure behind the chair gradually appeared in front of his eyes.As the office chair slowly turned, a human face came into sight.He has white hair, unmanaged hair, rather loose and messy, giving people a sense of informality.The person on the chair wore black thin-rimmed glasses. Although he looked very old, the eyes under the glasses seemed to have infinite energy, as if they were shining all the time.

Utsunomiya, who entered the meeting room from the dark corridor, couldn't help being stabbed in the eye, and raised his hand to cover it.

What exactly is behind this?
Immediately, Gu Meimen turned her head to look at the beauty assistant beside her, "Machiko, pack your luggage and prepare to leave for Kyoto. Also call Kahe Ranmaru!"

Gu Meimen continued to look suspiciously at the two foreigners in front of her, "Where to witness, this can always be revealed."

It seemed that the atmosphere of silence lasted for a while, and one of the foreign men with blond hair and blue eyes took the initiative to speak and broke the silence in a somewhat broken oriental language, "Lawyer Gu Meimen. As we said just now, we are here today. The purpose here is to hope that lawyer Gu Meimen can conduct a lawyer witness business for us."

In a place that Kitahara didn't know——

If it is not a certain situation, a lawyer will never easily witness for the client.

Utsunomiya frowned, rather reluctantly.Utsunomiya himself is a university student and also a top lawyer, so he felt a little uncomfortable being forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement like this.However, there was no other way, and he still had to raise his hand to sign.

When Utsunomiya saw the true face of the person on the chair, he couldn't help being shocked.

"For reasons of confidentiality, we have no way to disclose the details of the case before signing the entrustment contract." The foreign man said, "But, lawyer Gu Meimen, please trust us. Let him witness a certain false fact. Although we cannot disclose the specific situation, we just ask you to be at a specific place at the time and witness what is there. This is the whole content of our commission. "

Kyoto University?Gu Meimen frowned even deeper.Although he will not specifically pay attention to a national university.But judging by recent news, Kyoto University seems to be in trouble.The scandal of a female doctor, Mikiko, is causing the university to suffer.

in Tokyo—

"Ah! Lawyer Gu Meimen, it was decided so soon?!" Machiko showed an expression of disbelief, as if she didn't expect that the cunning man in front of her would agree to such an extremely suspicious commission, and Also call Shang Kahe Ranmaru, the personal spy and bodyguard of Gu Meimen.What information did lawyer Gu Meimen capture in this short few minutes of conversation? !

However, once some things are known, there is no way to go back.

For some reason, Utsunomiya felt an extremely powerful and disgusting sense of oppression as soon as he entered the conference room. After slowly opening his eyes, the great professor was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

Gu Meimen is very cautious.

Immediately afterwards, several men in suits suddenly got up from the long tables in the back rows of the conference room, picked up a stack of materials, and walked towards Utsunomiya, and immediately spread them on a simple conference table in front of Utsunomiya. uploaded these files.All I saw were four large characters written on the title of these documents - "Confidentiality Agreement."

"You mean, this lawyer's testimony may touch a high-ranking figure?" Gu Meimen caught a sliver of information revealed by the foreign man in front of her, and swooped down like an eagle to grab the person in front of her. People's flaws, immediately launched a rhetorical question.

The other people in the living room - the beautiful lawyer assistant Machiko and the housekeeper Hattori were also watching the two foreign men from the sidelines.It is still very rare for foreigners to come to Gumeimen's law firm.Machiko was even more prepared, and had already taken out his notebook, ready to record the content of the meeting at any time.

"Crack" sound.

"Crack, click, click" Utsunomiya's rather angry leather shoes sounded in the corridor as he walked.

"We don't trust the country of Toyo."

What kind of medicine are sold in the gourds of these two foreigners.

Utsunomiya was even more confused.Kyoto University actually hired a first-class law firm from Tokyo. What happened? !

……

A lawyer's witness is equivalent to a lawyer guaranteeing a certain fact in his own name.

The so-called lawyer's witness refers to the business activity in which the lawyer is entrusted by the client to certify the authenticity of a specific legal act or legal fact witnessed by the lawyer himself.To put it simply, a lawyer here is equivalent to a witness, witnessing the occurrence of a certain fact, and guaranteeing that the lawyer has fulfilled the requirements of the lawyer's duty of diligence, and has verified the truth of the fact.

At this time, Utsunomiya would never have thought that if he knew what would happen next, then he would definitely not step into this meeting room.

In the so-called 1000m-500m-200m Tokyo law firm club ranking, Nagashima Ohno Tsunematsu Law Firm is an indisputable member of the 200m club and is definitely the top law firm in the East.

In the empty corridor of the teaching and research building, Utsunomiya was stepping up and walking forward.This famous professor of intellectual property rights has been depressed since he lost to Kitahara in the plagiarism case of the Fujimura school, and even today he still vaguely feels a little untrustworthy.However, just tonight, Utsunomiya suddenly received an urgent order from the university asking him to attend an extremely important meeting.

A short sentence, like a thunderbolt suddenly exploded.

Came to the door of a rather solemn conference room.There are already several administrators guarding the door.When they saw Professor Utsunomiya, they immediately greeted him, "Professor Utsunomiya, the meeting has been prepared and is waiting for you to attend. Now, you can go in directly."

The door lock of the long vertical handle of the meeting room popped open.

The terrifying unknown hurricane has begun to blow——

The long table displayed in U shape further strengthens this oppressive feeling.

The moment you walk into the conference room—there is an extremely strong light.

Utsunomiya glanced at the administrator guarding the door, and felt something was wrong.The usual administration is mostly like a waiter who serves water and guides.However, the few administrators standing at the door today are not so much administrators as they are guarding soldiers, as if they are guarding some shameful things.
