Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 717 President's Office

"what happened?!

"Data cannot be extracted!"

"System Upgrade?"

"What upgrade?!"

"Hey! What happened?"

“Why can’t I use the computer!!!”

"You bank employees, get over here quickly!!"

In an instant, the investigators' shouts and curses could be heard one after another in the business hall.

Kurosaki was still immersed in the joy of victory, unable to extricate himself. Suddenly he heard the investigators in the hall screaming, and he didn't know what was going on.

However, his years of vigilance made him jump up from his chair immediately and rush to the computer equipment where the data was extracted.

On the computer screen, the progress of extracting data was paused.

The data could not be extracted.

The reason is that the bank's data security system is being upgraded.

During the upgrade, all external access is prohibited.

The access equipment of the Financial Services Department and the Accounting Inspection Office naturally belongs to external access.

Seeing this scene, Kurosaki was stunned. This was probably the most ridiculous scene he had seen in his many years of working. Unexpectedly... Unexpectedly, because of the system upgrade, the bank's accounting data was interrupted? ! This is simply unimaginable! !

Kurosaki simply grabbed a computer and even shook it a few times.

Data extraction is literally paused.

Computers don't lie.

The chief prosecutor immediately thought of Hanzawa who had disappeared for a few minutes. Could it be that at that time, he ordered the bank's IT department to upgrade the system? ! This Hanzawa! !

Kurosaki instantly became furious, "Hanzawa!!!"

He just yelled in the business hall without paying attention to anyone's gaze.

Kurosaki quickly walked up to Hanzawa, "Is it you? Stop the system upgrade immediately, we need to extract the data now!!!"

Facing Kurosaki's violent roar, Hanzawa just shrugged calmly, "The bank's system upgrade cannot be stopped. This system upgrade is in response to your Financial Services Agency's latest requirements on data security. The upgrade must not be interrupted, which is also the technical specification issued by your Financial Services Agency. May I ask if our bank has any fault?"

"You are maliciously obstructing the investigation!!!" Kurosaki's roar spread throughout the entire first floor of the Tokyo Central Bank headquarters.

At this time, Hanze also stood up, without any fear of the prosecutor in his eyes:

"Today, you came to conduct an on-site inspection. If you had communicated with the bank in advance, the system upgrade would not have hindered your investigation at all!"

Kurosaki clenched his teeth, and the muscles on his face trembled with extreme anger.

He found that he really had no way to deal with this Banze.

There is no way!!

Yes, data upgrade.

A plausible reason!

The planned action was prevented so easily.

Damn it! How on earth should we deal with Hanzawa! ! !

Just when Kurosaki was at a loss for what to do—

"Click, click, click" the sound of leather shoes could be heard.

A young man in a grey suit walked out from behind Kurosaki.

The person who came was Beiyuan.

Kitahara had never thought that this banker named Hanzawa could always turn the extremely unfavorable situation around again and again. Then, he had to take action.

Investigators from the Financial Services Agency and the Accounting Inspection Agency, who were frustrated in their attempts to seize data, all turned their attention to the consulting attorney.

"Vice Minister Hanzawa," Kitahara said, "Did your bank plan this update in advance, or did it decide to upgrade temporarily to hinder our law enforcement investigation? We will retrieve the background logs from the bank's technical department later."

"But I want to tell you that our data collection operation has already started for nearly half an hour. Your bank is fully aware of the fact that we are extracting data. But you still did not take any measures to postpone or delay the system upgrade. You resisted the law enforcement activities of the Financial Services Agency and the Accounting Inspection Office, and the relevant suspicion has been established."

"According to law enforcement norms, if the subject of law enforcement refuses to cooperate in obtaining evidence, the measures can be upgraded to search and seizure in accordance with the law."

The words "search" and "seizure" reached the ears of the bank employees present.

Even Hanzawa couldn't help but slightly widen his eyes. Search and seize the bank?!

"Wait!!" Hanzawa said immediately, "I object to this!!"

However, before Hanzawa could finish his words——

Kitahara said, "Director Kurosaki, Investigator Yuki. Given the extreme non-cooperation of the Tokyo Central Bank with law enforcement, I suggest that the Financial Services Agency and the Accounting Inspection Office immediately search the office of the president involved in the case and seize the computer in the president's office and transport it back to the Financial Services Agency for safekeeping!!"

Beiyuan's words suddenly exploded like thunder.

The bank executives who were still present, such as Vice President Shirai and other directors, were dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that the consulting lawyer of the Financial Services Department would directly target the president's office.

After listening to Kitahara's words, Kurosaki suddenly came to his senses. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Search the office of the president of the Tokyo Central Bank immediately!!!"

In an instant, a large crowd of people followed the call of the chief prosecutor.

The president's office is on the second floor of the headquarters, on the same level as the boardroom.

Investigators quickly swarmed the second floor of the Tokyo Central Bank's headquarters.

When Hanzawa and others saw the law enforcement officers going directly to the president's office, they immediately rushed to the second floor.

The two groups of people ran at the same time and gathered in the same direction.

In the end, the two sides had the most tense confrontation in front of the door of the president's office.

"How dare you block here!!!" Kurosaki shouted at Hanzawa who rushed to the door of the president's office, "If you dare to block me again, I will have to arrest you for obstructing the performance of official duties!!"

Hanzawa knew that he had to continue delaying time.

He said, "Search warrant! Where is your search warrant?! Although I am not a professional legal person, you must have a court warrant to search the internal offices of a bank! If you can't produce a search warrant, then your search is illegal!!"

Hanze's voice had just fallen.

Kitahara, who rushed to the president's office with him, smiled.

He took a step forward and took out a piece of paper. "Deputy Minister Hanzawa, when our Financial Services Agency conducted an on-site inspection today, we provided a list of documents, and you signed to confirm it. Please take a close look at this list. This list clearly states the information in the president's office."

Hanzawa took the paper and suddenly discovered that at the end of the list of documents, there were indeed potential documents included in the president's office written in inconspicuous small font.

Oops!

I was careless!!

Hanzawa looked up at the lawyer.

When the Financial Services Agency first came to inspect, I was busy and worried about how to respond.

But he ignored the document that he was asked to sign by the lawyer from the beginning!!

This is terrible!!

"So, Vice Minister Hanzawa," Kitahara continued, "your bank has already agreed to provide the documents stored in the president's office, so we don't need to provide an additional warrant."

The lawyer's words ended the confrontation.

No bank employee dared to refuse the Financial Services Agency's request anymore.

The faces of the directors and other bank executives around them had turned pale.

Suddenly, the door of the president's office creaked open.

President Nakano walked out slowly.

The governor of the Tokyo Central Bank still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, without a trace of panic, but rather appeared calm.

President Nakano said, "I am willing to cooperate with your investigation."

As soon as the words came out, they shocked everyone again...

……

……

……

An hour later, a piece of midday news spread throughout the entire Oriental financial world:

Tokyo Central Bank President Nakano was taken away by the Financial Services Agency for investigation...
