"The door is unlocked, come in."

A voice from inside the house said.

Beiyuan took a step forward and turned the doorknob. With a "kacha" sound, he pushed open the somewhat shabby outer door in front of him.

As soon as the door is opened, there is the entrance hall and a short narrow corridor. The somewhat oxidized incandescent lamp in the living room forms an old white light, which comes from the other end of the corridor. In the shoe cabinet, there are several

Pairs of women's shoes, ranging from flat soles to high heels to boots, were piled together in a mess.

After taking a few steps forward, a strong smell of cosmetics and perfume hit me.

So many people present could not help but cover their noses.

The room in the apartment is very small. Just walk forward a few steps and you will arrive at the very small "living room".

But I saw an extremely fashionable girl sitting behind a small round table in the living room. There were many large and small bottles and cans on the table, as well as several beauty magazines. The living room next to the round table looked quite...

It's a bit messy, with fast food boxes stacked haphazardly and tableware still soaked in the faucet pool.

The girl smoothed her wavy hair and looked at the small square mirror in front of her. Her eyes seemed to be ignoring the group of strangers standing in the corridor, and she was concentrating on applying nail polish on her hands.

Perhaps the contrast between the girl's dress and the shabby apartment was too sharp, or the contrast between this image and the image of a hard-working doctoral student was too great, so that the moment they saw the girl in front of them, many people were confused.

They couldn't help but open their mouths slightly.

Liancheng couldn't control her expression when she saw this scene. She had Mikiko's resume and photo in her hand. From the photo, Mikiko was unpretentious and looked like a good student who worked hard.

I didn't expect to see a real person, but it was surprisingly different.

Beiyuan looked like he was used to strange things. After all, in his career as a lawyer, he had seen too many strange and strange people. He walked straight over and acted like he was walking into a familiar old man.

Just like at a friend’s house, he said directly:

"Is this Mikiko Tamai?"

"Yeah." Mikiko nodded lazily, and after painting the last nail, she said, "I think you all want to ask me something. So, I arranged for you to meet together. I remember the professor and I

It was said that a gentleman named Kitahara Yiichi wanted to come to see me. Then the Accounting Inspection Service called and also came to see me. Why, suddenly, I became the focus."

Yuki sat together in front of the small round table, "This is Mr. Kitahara next to me. I don't know what he wants to know about you. However, I am an investigator of the Accounting Inspection Service and a public official.

Now in order to understand some situations, I need to come to you to inquire. You have the obligation to cooperate. Of course, you are still a student now, and we don’t want to make the inquiry known to everyone and affect your studies..."

"No." Kimiko interrupted neatly, "I have already graduated. Originally, I had delayed my graduation. In September last year, I just finished my thesis, defense and so on. So, I didn't do any regular work.

Graduation at the right time.”

Kimiko looked at the two people in front of her and continued: "The prosecutor's office has come to see me before. So probably, I also know what your Accounting Inspection Office wants to ask. However, getting information from me is not free.

.Now, I have encountered a somewhat troublesome matter. Whether it is the Accounting Inspection Service or this gentleman named Kitahara, if you want to get something useful from me, then help me solve this troublesome matter.

"

This girl, who was dressed fashionably and sweetly, revealed a cold transactional tone.

"That's a bit too much." Yuuki stared at Kimiko, "It is your legal obligation to cooperate with the investigation. There is no room for bargaining here."

"I have checked the information. It seems that your Accounting Inspection Office has less power than the Prosecutor's Office and the police. They threatened to arrest me before. Can you do it?" Mikiko said without mercy.

When Yuki heard this tone, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Indeed, although the Accounting Inspection Institute is an audit agency, it does not have much real power.

This kid kept making deals one after another, and his tone was very arrogant.

However, Yuuki still had no choice but to put on a friendly expression and decided to follow the temptation, "You have encountered some trouble recently. This matter has caused you so much trouble that I have to solve it for you.

Will you cooperate with the investigation? What exactly is troubling you?"

Mikiko nodded and said very calmly:

"I need a lawyer."

lawyer?

The girl in front of me suddenly made a request for a lawyer.

The scene couldn't help but be a little abrupt for a moment.

However, as soon as the word "lawyer" was mentioned, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Kitahara sitting in front of the round table. Kitahara, the lawyer who recently shined in two lawsuits against Kyoto University, instantly became

The center of attention.

Beiyuan felt the eyes of the people present, smiled helplessly, and said: "I am a lawyer."

"Are you a lawyer?!" Mikiko suddenly raised her head when she heard the man in front of her suddenly answered. Then her eyes, which were already attached to Meitong, began to move, and she looked at the man in front of her carefully. He

Very young, probably a young lawyer who has just graduated.

However, carefully observing the face of the lawyer in front of her, Mikiko had a feeling that the young man in front of her was different from ordinary people.

"It seems that what was said in the magazine is true." Mikiko suddenly said, "They said today would be my lucky day, but unexpectedly a lawyer came over. I have approached many law firms, but they all rejected me."

"So what is the trouble you are encountering?" Beihara asked.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "As long as you are willing to help me solve it..." Mikiko stood up and pulled out a suitcase from the corner of the living room. The suitcase seemed to be very heavy and she didn't know how to pack it.

What was there? The female doctoral student opened the zipper and suddenly pulled hard, causing the entire suitcase to fall directly to the floor.

There was a muffled sound, and the already bulging suitcase, after losing the restraints of the zipper, only had a slight impact, and the entire suitcase opened with a "bang" in an instant. The moment the suitcase was opened,

There was a smell of printing ink. Immediately afterwards, countless pieces of yellow paper flew out like a flood from a sluice.

On the pieces of paper inside, there is a solemn portrait printed on it——

Fukuzawa Yukichi.

It’s yen cash! It’s a whole box of yen cash!

The cash, like snowflakes, instantly covered one-third of the guest room floor in less than a few seconds. This dilapidated apartment room seemed to have instantly become a paradise filled with milk and honey, gold and silver.

paradise.

Perhaps this scene of cash pouring out like a tide was so shocking that even the Accounting Inspection Institute personnel who were following Yuuki showed expressions of surprise and froze in place, not knowing how to react.

"Hello!

Do you know that it is illegal to hold such a large amount of cash?!" Yuki's eyes widened a bit, and then he immediately stood up and said loudly, "You know that you can immediately file a complaint for suspected money laundering and unknown source of property.

Will the police and prosecutor’s office arrest you?”

The scene in front of me has changed too crazily.

A newly graduated PhD student can actually hold an entire box of cash.

"I don't care if it's illegal or not. As long as you help me solve the problem, I can tell you how this box of cash came from. Also, this is also a reward for your lawyer's fees." Mikiko looked at the lawyer in front of her.

"Then what kind of thing happened to you?" Beiyuan had been sitting on the round table, quietly watching how the girl dumped a box of cash into the living room. He frowned slightly, seeing what was going on.

It's quite bad. I'm afraid the problem to be solved this time will be even more difficult. Regardless of what happened to the student named Mikiko, this whole box of cash alone is enough to explain what Takeuchi is involved in. Maybe

How dangerous it would be.

Mikiko took out a piece of A4 paper from a bag next to her and placed it on the table.

The tail of this A4 paper is stamped with the bright red seal of Kyoto University.

However, its title contains several shocking characters -

“Decision to revoke Tamai Kimiko’s doctorate degree.”

Further down, the above content reads: "Kimiko Tamai is a doctoral student in comprehensive life sciences at our school's graduate school. She received her doctorate in September this year and 2019. After verification, it was confirmed that the paper "About

"Acidification Phenomenon of Phosphate Group-Oriented Molecules in Proteins" and "Research on Protein and Calculation Secondary Structure under Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy" contain serious plagiarism. According to the "Regulations on the Awarding of Legal Person Degrees in National Universities" and the "Regulations on Academic Theory of the Academic Degree Committee of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology"

"Promotion Opinions" and the "Basic Academic Standards of Kyoto University" stipulate that after deliberation by the Degree Evaluation Committee on December 23, 2020, it was decided to withdraw the doctorate of Tamai Kimiko and withdraw the degree certificate."

"Withdraw...withdraw your doctorate?" Yuki raised his head and asked, "You mean, the trouble you encountered is that Kyoto University revoked your doctorate?"

"Yes." Mikiko nodded, sat back behind the round table again, and said, "I want to get my doctorate back."

In an instant, the room fell into silence.

Yuuki didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Kitahara picked up the picture of these doctoral degree decisions in front of him, read it, and then broke the silence, "As lawyers, if the client has a claim, of course we will try our best to protect the interests of the client through legal channels. However, I would like to ask.

, have you indeed plagiarized someone else’s paper?”

"Well, I copied it."
