Chapter 229: The Court Starts

The incident of Matsushita Aohiko stealing the manuscript was called a manuscript theft gate by reporters because of the uproar.

The reporters were divided into two factions, among which there were obviously many more reporters who supported Zhao Chen, and they believed that with Zhao Chen's reputation, talent and wealth, he would not lie in this regard at all.

The other faction is a bit strong, but it's not that they don't understand the reason, the main thing is that the Shogakukan has spent a lot of money and has to support Matsushita Aohiko's side. This group of reporters believes that Matsushita Aohiko is a talented and talented cartoonist, and the reason why Zhao Chen will harm Matsushita Aohiko is nothing more than that Matsushita Aohiko switched to his opponent.

Both have their own opinions, but in any case, most people also support Zhao Chen's side. It is really Zhao Chen's reputation is well managed, talented, no scandals, and a self-made billionaire, and he often has the essence of taking the name from the people, establishing the World Fund, donating a lot of money to the poor areas of the world every year, and is the world's peace messenger in recent years.

Of course, Zhao Chen's guy did donate a lot, but this guy has always been purposeful, and he directly donated to education or medical care in poor countries, and did not donate to island countries.

Naturally, some reporters from island countries once asked him this question, but he thought that he should donate money to poor and backward countries on the grounds that the island people were too rich. If you take the initiative in the general righteousness, the matter will be closed.

Due to the seriousness of the matter, the court heard the case was the Tokyo High Court, which was also located in the bustling Chiyoda district, not far from Zhao Chen's Tianxia Society.

The trial was held as scheduled, and hundreds of reporters gathered outside the Tokyo High Court on that day, and of course more ordinary citizens, many of whom were die-hard fans of Zhao Chen.

Some of these die-hard fans spread out banners, and some have words written on their clothes, but without exception, they all hope to severely punish Matsushita Aohiko, thinking that Matsushita Aohiko is a shame for cartoonists, and one of the banners attracts the attention of reporters the most. It says that Shogakukan and Matsushita Aohiko belong to a raccoon dog of a hill!

As soon as this banner came out, the surrounding reporters took pictures one after another, thinking that this was also a subject that could be written.

In fact, this banner was not Zhao Chen's idea, but was planned by Kodansha, the main opponent of the Shogakukan, with the purpose of trying to hit the reputation of the Shogakukan as much as possible, so as to secure the name of the No. 1 Comprehensive Publishing House in the island country.

There are only a handful of journalists who have access to the courthouse, and they are not all connected to the Tokyo High Court. It's a reporter from a big newspaper like the Mainichi Shimbun.

The plaintiff's seat is Zhao Chen, and the defendant's seat is Matsushita Aohiko. Unlike Zhao Chen, who was light and breezy, Matsushita Qinghiko's face was slightly pale, his eyes were evasive, and he was afraid that he was quite nervous. Perhaps this is the first time he has been sued in court.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the crowd sitting in the audience. After all, this piracy incident is too big, and in addition to those reporters, family members, cartoonists, and witnesses, there are still several big people watching from below.

Don't look at Matsushita Qingyan's usual personality is quite calm, but after all, he has never seen much of the world, especially when he saw Zhao Chen's face with an undisguised smile, he couldn't help but panic even more, and subconsciously moved away.

Even if Matsushita Aohiko doesn't admit it again. He also knew that no matter what the verdict of the trial was, he could no longer be a cartoonist, which made him regret it a little. But it also made Matsushita Aohiko feel that he must get a lot of benefits from the Shogakukan.

Not to mention Matsushita Aohiko's cranky thoughts, when the judge and others sit in their respective positions, the trial will begin.

Routine, at the beginning it was an explanation between the plaintiff and the defendant, and Zhao Chen naturally said that Matsushita Qinghiko stole "Football Knight"; As for Matsushita Aohiko, naturally he didn't admit it even if he was killed. thinks that "Football Knight" is his work.

He knows in his heart that if he admits it, it will be a small matter of losing the lawsuit, but this matter is well known, and I am afraid that he will have to go to prison for a few years plus compensation for the copyright fees of "Football Knight", and this compensation is probably not something that Matsushita Aohiko can pay.

After the two explained, the next step was for the lawyers of both sides to argue. Argue from their respective points of origin.

The lawyers on both sides can be said to be experts in this industry, after all, the Shogakuan and the Tianxia Society are both masters who do not check money, and it is conceivable that the lawyers invited to come over can be imagined. The two sides can be described as chess opponents, and it is difficult to compete for a high position.

During this period, Zhao Chen's lawyer even invited Yoichi Takahashi and Youdie as witnesses. It's just that the opposing lawyer thinks that the two belong to Zhao Chen's subordinates after all and can't be counted, and the judge also thinks that it can't be true.

To be honest, in fact, although Zhao Chen's side has the upper hand, unless evidence is presented, the judge will obviously favor Matsushita Qingyan and the Elementary School Hall, the main reason is that Zhao Chen is a foreigner, and the background and connections of the World Society are not as good as the Elementary School Hall.

Regardless of Zhao Chen, since he took Matsushita Aohiko to court, he naturally had the relevant evidence in his hands. It is also the reason for his prudence that allows him to always have a very important piece of evidence.

"Since Matsushita-sensei denied the matter of piracy, then I would like to ask Mr. Matsushita when he came up with this idea?"

Regarding Zhao Chen's question, Matsushita Qingyan couldn't help frowning, he didn't know if Zhao Chen's question was casually opened or had other purposes.

"Your Excellency, I think this question has the possibility of violating **, and we refuse to answer it!" After seeing Matsushita Aohiko's expression, Matsushita Aohiko's lawyer also thought that Zhao Chen's answer was not what he asked, and there must be a 'conspiracy' in it!

"Your Excellency, I think this question is a very common question, and since Matsushita-sensei thinks that there is no piracy, then this question must be answered!"

As soon as Matsushita Aohiko's lawyer's voice fell, before the judge could answer, Zhao Chen's lawyer immediately refuted at this time.

Although the judge is biased towards Matsushita Aohiko's side, this question is indeed related to this pirated manuscript door, and if there is a relevant answer, it is naturally the best, so he rejected Matsushita Aohiko's answer.

Matsushita Qinghiko sweated in his head, his heart was a little nervous again, his eyes were a little dodgy, and he said hesitantly: "The idea of "Football Knight" was thought of at the beginning of this year, when I was still Zhao Chen's assistant, and I was working to improve the details of "Football Knight". Wait until it is perfected before submitting. ”

"I heard that you didn't contribute to the World Society, and before that, you quit your job as an assistant on the grounds of illness. My Lord, I think this is extremely suspicious! ”

In the face of lawyer Zhao Chen's aggressiveness, more cold sweat broke out on Matsushita Qingyan's forehead, and he subconsciously looked at his defense lawyer.

"I think this is the freedom of Mr. Matsushita, and who stipulates that Mr. Zhao Chen's assistant must vote for the Tianxia Society! As for the reason for being sick, it is even more nonsense, who can be sure that Matsushita Sensei was not sick at that time? ”

Who can become a lawyer, who is not good at arguing, not to mention that the lawyers on both sides belong to the type that can speak well. In this regard, the two lawyers had a heated argument, but Matsushita Aohiko on the side was relieved.

As for Zhao Chen, he still sat in the plaintiff's bench lightly, quietly watching the two lawyers arguing, but what no one knew was that he was dragging out time, waiting for a piece of evidence that could be conclusive.

Time passed slowly, and soon more than half an hour passed, and the two lawyers were tired of arguing, so they began to argue again while resting.

As for the people sitting in the audience, most of them also felt a little drowsy, which was really different from the scene they imagined, neither the plaintiff nor the defendant talked much, and it seemed as if there was nothing to do.

It's just that it didn't take long for there to be a knock on the closed door, which shocked everyone inside, and the corners of Zhao Chen's mouth brought a smile, and Matsushita Qingyan was frightened when he saw it, and he had a bad thought in his heart.

"Your Excellency, someone at the door is bringing the evidence I am about to present, and I hope Your Excellency will let him in!"

As soon as Zhao Chen's words fell, it can be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the spirits of everyone below were shocked, and their eyes were fixed on the gate and the judge. As for the reporters, they were undoubtedly even more excited, and they bred up and began to record the following situation.
