Chapter 657 Worry
After the trial, it was almost 7 o'clock in the evening when I walked out of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.

Kitahara and Miyagawa chose a fast food rice bowl restaurant at a nearby station for dinner.

Miyakawa sat in the shop, looking at the ice water served by the waiter, feeling a little uneasy. He had been confident at the beginning of this case, but now it is difficult to move forward. He remembered that before the trial today, President Hamanaka asked if there was a hope of winning. Now he really couldn't give such a positive answer.

Miyakawa looked up at Kitahara in front of him.

Since following Kitahara, the series of cases he experienced have already impacted his previous concepts. However, his previous opponents were listed companies, large hotels, and the Procuratorate. Miyakawa has not yet had such a deep understanding.

However, this case happened in Shinjuku, where she grew up. When she saw with her own eyes that so many dark things happened around her, Miyagawa was already in a very bad mood.

The overpass I walked across as a child may have a complicated story behind it, involving a municipal engineering project.

When Miyagawa saw with his own eyes that the people who were supposed to be upholding justice turned into evildoers, he was deeply shocked.

"Beiyuan, tell me, who can I trust?"

"People can only trust themselves." The young male lawyer in front of him said, "Stay away from anyone who claims to be a savior. Even me, you can't trust me 100%. As long as they are human, there is evil in them. I am no exception."

"But I don't want this." Miyakawa held the cup with both hands.

Miyakawa doesn't want to doubt others forever.

Always be wary of others.

Always be wary of others.

Living like this is tiring.

Very tired.

Miyakawa certainly understood that one must be on guard against others.

But even so, she hopes there is someone in front of whom she can let down all her guard without worrying about being hurt.

Miyakawa looked at Kitahara in front of him.

Kitahara was already the only person she trusted.

Especially after she followed Kitahara, experienced cases big and small, and witnessed the terrible darkness in this world with her own eyes, she became more dependent on Kitahara.

Indeed, her work ability as a lawyer is even more outstanding, and she can almost stand on her own.

However, for some reason, she wanted to escape from this world even more.

She just wanted to stay with Kitahara.

Don't want to face it all.

The waiter brought the rice with toppings in a short while. The steaming hot rice seemed to temporarily dispel some of the anxiety from the daytime case and brought some warmth.

Beiyuan didn't think too much about it. He was naturally hungry, so he started eating with relish.

Seeing the man in front of her eating the rice bowl so deliciously, Miyakawa couldn't help but smile. She didn't know why, but she wished that this warm moment in her daily life could last forever. How nice it would be if time could stay at this moment forever.

However, this moment of relaxation did not last long, and worry immediately surged into Miyakawa's heart again.

She already knew that Eto Law Firm had been shut down by the Tokyo Securities Regulatory Agency.

Lately, they have been working from home, and when necessary, they meet in coffee shops to discuss cases.

When thinking of the Kawamoto Expressway case, Kitahara jumped off the bridge without hesitation.

It reminded me of the scene in Kyoto when Kitahara was arrested by the police.

I recalled the day when the big accident happened on the Kyoto Shinkansen. I couldn't find Kitahara no matter how hard I looked. Finally, at night, I found Kitahara sitting on the train.

When she thought of this, Miyakawa felt her heart tremble. She couldn't imagine her life without seeing Kitahara. She didn't know what other thrilling things Kitahara had experienced that she didn't know about.

I just returned to Tokyo from Kyoto and have just had a period of peace.

As a result, the Tokyo Securities Regulatory Commission came to our door.

Moreover, the second time they visited the law firm, they sealed it off.

I don’t know what they have found out, and whether the incident in Kyoto will happen again.

The news of the closure of Eto Law Firm naturally reached the ears of Miyagawa's father, Imanishi. Miyagawa was called to his father's office for a serious talk. Originally, Miyagawa did not know about the Tokyo Securities Regulatory Bureau. After all, lawyers deal with the police, prosecutors, and judges more. If you are doing capital market business, you deal with exchanges and securities regulators more.

However, from his father, Miyakawa learned that the Tokyo Securities Regulatory Bureau was a terrifying and powerful department.

Since it is responsible for investigating the loss of state-owned assets, it has many unconventional measures at its disposal.

If the police have the Criminal Procedure Law to regulate their behavior, then institutions like the Asset Supervision and Administration Commission do not have such strict regulations to limit their investigative powers.

It also concerns the use of state-owned assets and public funds.

Generally, such cases are often the focus of media and public attention.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Kill one and warn one hundred.

In this case, even if the Asset Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council uses some gray area or even illegal measures, it is likely that they will turn a blind eye and let it go.

Thinking of this, Miyakawa couldn't help but feel more worried about Kitahara.

"Kitahara, is there any problem with the Tokyo Securities Regulatory Bureau?"

"No problem." The man in front of him seemed to be really hungry. He wolfed down the food with food in his mouth and answered vaguely, "Don't worry so much."

"By the way. You can first place your lawyer's license in other law firms, such as your father's law firm." Kitahara said after taking a sip of ice water.

"I do not want."

Miyagawa refused cleanly. She didn't want to be a deserter. At least, when her lover was in trouble, she wanted to be by his side. You could call it childish or simple-minded, but that was what Miyagawa wanted.

After Miyakawa finished speaking, the two fell silent.

They were each eating their own rice.

The man in front of him was still using a spoon to eat his rice.

Come to think of it, Miyagawa had never seen Kitahara look anxious.

But she knew that as long as one is a human being, there will be times when they feel uncomfortable and lonely.

Miyakawa really wants to help Kitahara.

However, every time I wanted to help him, I felt that Kitahara was distancing himself from me.

He was worried that he would be implicated.

However, this is not what Miyakawa wants to see.

She also wanted to help Beiyuan share the burden.

Even a little bit is fine.

Thinking of the moments of life and death that he had experienced in the past, Miyagawa did not want to endure it again. Gradually, the rice bowl in front of Miyagawa's eyes became blurry. Tears welled up in Miyagawa's eyes.

But she didn't raise her head, she was afraid that Beiyuan would see it.

She lowered her head and couldn't help asking:
"Beiyuan, what happened to you? Can you tell me?"
