Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

What’s the point of Chapter 644?

Yuki didn't expect that the name "Eriko" would come out of Kitahara's mouth. Indeed, when Kitahara first returned to Tokyo, she called to remind the Tokyo Securities Regulatory Bureau that they were investigating him. At that time, Yuki mentioned the name Eriko. But it was only mentioned once, and the main point was to remind Kitahara to pay attention to the investigator Urakawa of the Tokyo Securities Regulatory Bureau.

However, now Kitahara took the initiative to mention the name Eriko.

Yuuki recalled the events in Kyoto, especially the gunfight in the castle tower. The female investigator couldn't help but look up and look at the man in front of her again. She couldn't help but wonder what happened to this lawyer named Kitahara and what secrets he was hiding.

"It seems that you already know something about Eriko." Yuki said, "Although I don't know why you want to know such a dangerous person."

"Will your investigation involve Eriko?" Kitahara and Yuki looked at each other and asked directly.

"The name Eriko is a taboo." Yuki said dimly, "She can be said to be a restricted area for investigation."

"Forbidden zone? Is her power so powerful?" Kitahara frowned.

Yuki nodded. "No one knows what the network behind Eriko is. Who is the big shot behind her? Regarding Eriko, there were actually several audits of municipal assets by the Accounting Inspection Office that might point to Eriko. However, without exception, these investigations all ended in failure."

"How did it end without any disease?" Kitahara continued to ask.

Through Yuuki's intelligence and his own information, Kitahara also began to realize that Eriko's power might be far beyond his imagination. The question is how powerful this woman can be. All of this requires additional information to piece together bit by bit, so as to finally reveal the outline of the opponent.

"To put it simply, once you track down a certain company or person, you can no longer pursue them," Yuki said. "Either important evidence disappears, or the person being investigated takes all the blame on themselves."

"And..." Yuki added, "I've learned about the auditors who have conducted in-depth investigations on Eriko. Without exception, they were eventually fired from their posts. I've also talked to them before, but they were unwilling to say a word to me. They only told me not to investigate Eriko."

"I don't know what happened to them." Yuki shook the cup in his hand.

"Then why is your Accounting Inspection Office now investigating the low-price land transfer by Shinjuku City Hall and the Tokyo Asset Supervision Bureau?" Kitahara said, "Since Eriko is already your so-called investigation restricted area, why did the Second Bureau transfer you from the Fourth Bureau and draw people from various places?"

"This is where it gets weird." Yuki said, "I don't know why it's like this, but I have a guess. It may have something to do with the parliamentary election next April."

The female investigator continued, "If Attorney Kitahara knew about the current parliamentary election situation, he would know that it is very close. The number of seats held by each party is very close. If there is a big change in the election in April next year, it may directly lead to a change in the majority of seats in the parliament. Then, the parliament will be dissolved and re-elected, ushering in a major reshuffle."

"Since Eriko has been able to obstruct the investigation of the Accounting Inspection Office time and again, there must be a powerful figure behind her who has connections everywhere." Yuki looked at Kitahara, "This investigation into the land transfer in Shinjuku District is probably a struggle between powerful figures that we are not aware of. The target should be directly targeting the parliamentary election next April."

"If Eriko's scandal is revealed to be related to a big shot, it will probably have a shocking impact on the parliamentary election and may directly lead to changes in the election results," Yuki said.

Kitahara pondered the information passed on by Yuki.

He didn't expect that this incident would involve the re-election of members of Congress next year. If this is the case, things will become quite complicated. Anything, as long as it involves power, will be very difficult to deal with.

The congressional re-election will surely be a life-and-death battleground among various forces.

Beiyuan naturally didn't want to be involved.

But the question is, do I have any way out?

Since the 500 million yen warehouse receipt pledge incident, I am afraid I have been involved in a huge conspiracy.

"We auditors are just pawns after all." Yuki sighed, with helplessness in his eyes.

This was the first time in her career that she felt deeply powerless.

Yuki is actually a woman with a sense of justice.

Otherwise, she would not have chosen to embark on the path of becoming an audit investigator.

Over the years, she has been working diligently on cases, and she has always taken abiding by the law and being honest and self-disciplined as her principles. However, the experience of handling cases again and again, and the departure of colleagues one after another, have gradually made her understand a truth: Audit investigators are actually pawns.

Pawns used by the big guys to fight each other.

Corruption, bribery and misuse of public funds are just excuses to drive the other party out of office.

What to check.

To what extent should we investigate?

Who can be checked and who cannot be checked.

In fact, everything has already been drawn.

He thought he was playing the role of justice, but in fact he was just a puppet.

Duties can only be performed within the prescribed scope.

You think you are doing justice by being so pretentious.

But it is just a tool for others' struggle.

The longer Yuki worked at the Accounting Inspection Agency, the more he realized this.

My countless nights of working at my desk, my professional knowledge of auditing, and my reading of case files.

Does all this really make sense?

Yuki even began to doubt the meaning of his job.

Just like this time I was seconded to the Second Bureau to investigate land transfer in Shinjuku Ward.

I am just a pawn once again.

Acting as a knife.

As a tool for the upper classes to fight against each other.

The ideals and justice she pursued, however, her career as an audit investigator for more than ten years told her that all this was just a fantasy.

The cold reality is that one can only act step by step according to the designs of the bigwigs.

The so-called punishment of bad guys and upholding of justice is nothing more than a predetermined outcome.

No matter who wins, the loser is evil and the bad guy, and the winner is just and the good guy.

Yuki clenched her fists slightly. The female investigator, who always faced outsiders with a relaxed attitude, at this moment, her beautiful face revealed a rare expression of unwillingness.

At this moment, the voice of the male lawyer in front of him reached Yuki's ears.

"How about turning the chess game upside down?"
