Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 716 Confrontation

In the business hall of the Tokyo Central Bank, investigators from the Accounting Inspection Agency came to the backstage and demanded to pick up computer data. These investigators directly and rudely asked bank employees to step back, and then connected their own equipment to the bank's computer to extract the bank's cash journal.

"Your employee accounts and passwords! Hand them over to me!" an investigator from the Accounting Inspection Office shouted.

The bank employee who was scolded was so scared that he started typing on the keyboard tremblingly.

"Type it faster!" the investigator scolded.

"You entered the wrong number again?! Are you delaying on purpose?!" The investigator grabbed the bank employee by the collar.

"The bank's computer equipment cannot...cannot be connected to external devices at will..." a bank employee protested with a trembling voice.

"Are you suspecting that there is something wrong with the equipment we use for investigation? You bankers are always good at making excuses!" the investigator said angrily.

Inside the business hall, the scene became even more chaotic.

The Financial Services Department and the Accounting Inspection Office are pressing forward step by step, making the banks even more confused.

Hanzawa looked at this scene, but he didn't know what he could do. What should he do? ! Looking at the equipment used by the Accounting Inspection Institute, it seemed that as long as it was connected to the bank's computer, it could automatically extract data.

In the face of such advanced search methods, no matter what, we cannot stop the other party.

"How is it, Hanzawa-kun?" Kurosaki walked towards the deputy director of the Second Sales Department, his tone full of mockery, "Is this scene good?"

At this time, more and more people in the bank were looking at Hanzawa with resentful eyes.

The reason why the head office was treated like a criminal today was all thanks to the Second Sales Department.

They are the ones who are dragging us down!

If they hadn't taken on any projects from Yoshizawa Trust, would they have gotten into so much trouble? ! It was clearly their fault, but the Financial Services Agency's inspection made them bear the responsibility! !

The complaining looks from colleagues in the industry also put further pressure on Hanze.

Vice President Shirai walked up to Hanzawa:

"Look at all the trouble you've caused! Why didn't you predict that this situation would happen during your previous investigation?! We are unprepared now, and if they really find out something, you must take full responsibility!"

Hanzawa didn't expect Shirai to force him like this. He was annoyed and immediately said, "Vice President, isn't it too much to say that? What illegal things did you do behind the scenes that the employees below didn't know about. Do you think it's appropriate for you to say that?!"

"How dare you talk back!"

"As the vice president, you should also take responsibility!!" Hanzawa raised his voice.

Hanzawa really felt that Shirai was becoming more and more suspicious. Not to mention, it was he who introduced the Yoshizawa Trust project. Today, during the on-site inspection by the Financial Services Agency, Shirai's behavior was also very abnormal. He kept urging himself to call the employees of the accounting department down. It seemed that he couldn't wait for the Financial Services Agency to come and inspect the bank.

Although no evidence has been found about Shirai so far, Hanzawa still believes that he is involved.

Time is getting tighter.

If this continues, all the bank's cash journal materials will really be taken away by the Financial Services Department and the Accounting Inspection Office.

Hanzawa glanced and saw that the investigators' computers had been turned on and were ready to enter the interface for extracting data.

What can we do now?

Banze was extremely anxious.

Desperately wondering what other solutions there are.

However, facing the aggressive regulatory authorities, what else can be done? !

Does prayer work?

If I kneel down in a shrine and pray to Amaterasu, will my prayers be answered?

At this extremely urgent moment, Hanze looked up and suddenly saw a schedule in the backstage of the business hall.

There is a red circle in one of the boxes.

Remind you that this is a very important matter.

It says:

"In response to financial data security requirements, the bank's data system security measures will be upgraded in accordance with the latest standards in the near future. All departments are requested to consult with the Information System Department on the system upgrade time. During the upgrade period, all business operations will not be available. This is an important reminder."

System...update?!

A bold idea suddenly emerged in Hanze's mind.

He immediately looked around to make sure no one noticed him, then went to a corner to make a phone call. The person Hanzawa wanted to call was none other than his good friend, Watari, who was well versed in human relations. "Watari! I have something to ask of you now!" Hanzawa said as soon as he answered the phone.

"Are you okay? I heard that the Financial Services Department is conducting a large-scale inspection right now!"

"Not only the Financial Services Agency came, but also the Accounting Inspection Agency!"

"what?!"

"I think it was the lawyer named Kitahara who came up with today's action."

"So what are you going to do now?!"

"Don't talk too much for now. Do you know anyone in the Information Systems Department?"

"Why? I know him. There's an engineer there, and he was my junior in the university club."

"That's great."

"What are you going to do?"

"Are you planning to upgrade the bank's data security system recently?"

"Yes."

"Upgrade them now! All the back-end computers in the business hall and all the computers in the financial accounting department upstairs, upgrade them now!"

Watari Masato on the other end of the phone didn't react at first. When he realized that Hanzawa was going to use the system upgrade to interrupt the supervisory agency's efforts to extract electronic data, he had to gasp.

It turned out to be such a daring plan!

"Hanzawa! Are you really going to do this?! Aren't you afraid of angering those people?!"

"There's no other way. We can only burn our boats."

"I can only say that I will try my best to help you. However, I may not be able to do it." Watari's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Then, hung up.

Hanzawa returned to the business hall with the phone.

At this time, the business hall became even more chaotic. Many of the equipment in the Accounting and Inspection Office had been connected to the bank's equipment. The dedicated program began to operate and was continuously extracting relevant information from the bank's accounting system.

"The extraction will be completed in about 10 minutes." An investigator reported to Kurosaki.

Kurosaki showed a satisfied expression.

"Hanzawa-kun, where were you going just now? The scene here is really less interesting without you." Kurosaki sneered.

Hanze held the phone, sat in his seat and closed his eyes.

He prayed inwardly.

His nerves were extremely tense.

The last time I had this feeling was when I took the college entrance exam nearly ten years ago.

Does prayer work?

I don’t usually believe in God.

Hanzawa, who was usually calm and composed, was a little afraid to look directly at the scene.

At this critical moment——

The screens of many bank computers in the hall flashed at the same time, and then cut in to a picture:

“The system is being upgraded.”
