Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 719 Manipulation

Afternoon, 2:23.

Hanzawa walked out of the Tokyo Central Bank's head office building. After going through the Financial Services Agency inspection and the board of directors' trouble, he still hadn't had lunch.

Hungry, he walked onto a pedestrian bridge and went to a nearby shopping mall to eat.

I walked into a random Western restaurant and ordered a bowl of fried noodles and some pastries.

Hanzawa sat in his seat and felt that the current situation was very troublesome. It was almost impossible to find out the truth about Yoshizawa's trust within two weeks.

The TV in the restaurant was playing the news. The female announcer was reading: "The latest news. The president of Tokyo Central Bank, Nakano Watari, was taken away by the Financial Services Agency for questioning. It is understood that this investigation is related to Tokyo Central Bank's attempt to cover up bad loans by "false reporting". Currently, many banks have received regulatory letters from the Financial Services Agency and have been asked to conduct self-examination..."

When Hanzawa saw the news report, he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.

In an instant, it was overwhelming.

The waiter brought the dishes.

Hanzawa picked up the fork and began to eat listlessly, thinking about his next strategy in his mind.

Just when I was concentrating on thinking, suddenly, I felt a pat on my shoulder.

When people concentrate on thinking, they are always easily frightened.

Hanzawa almost jumped up from his seat. When he turned around, he saw that it was his "socialite" friend, Watari.

"How do you know I'm here?!" Hanzawa asked with some surprise.

It was unexpected, but also a bit happy. It's always good to have friends to help relieve your depression.

"I just happened to come down to do some work, and I saw you walking out looking worried, so I followed you all the way." Watari Mari laughed heartily.

"I'm in trouble. I must find out the truth about Yoshizawa Trust within two weeks, otherwise..." Hanzawa hesitated and did not continue.

"Hanzawa, Hanzawa, how can you be so naive!" Watari said, "What truth are you still thinking about?! Do you know that after you came out of the board of directors, Vice President Shirai has been discussing the issue of acting president. President Nakano is expected to be in danger when he goes to the Financial Services Agency this time. Do you think you can escape punishment even if you find out the truth?"

Watari Masato is indeed good at interpersonal relationships and he immediately pointed out the crux of the problem.

"And!" Watari added, "I heard that the board of directors is ready to discuss the disciplinary measures against you."

Hanzawa knew that Watari's information was always accurate.

Now that things have come to this, it seems like I can’t escape.

"What you need to do now is not to find out the truth." Watari Mamoru said, "Maybe someone in the former Tokyo faction admires you as much as the president does. The most important thing for you now is to go and pay your respects to the boss. After all, you have been the deputy director of the Second Sales Department for a while, so hurry up and find someone who can protect you!"

"I've never been good at these things." Hanzawa shrugged helplessly.

"Do you want your career as a banker to end here?"

"If that's the case, then I'll accept my fate."

"Hey!! Where's the Hanzawa I usually know?!"

Hanzawa certainly would not resign himself to his fate. He also knew that Watari's plan was the best solution.

But the Yoshizawa Trust case is now lingering.

Sales Department 2 was completely shrouded in the shadow of this case.

Hanzawa still didn't intend to give up.

An eye for an eye, pay back tenfold.

This is his upright character.

"What if the final incident of Yoshizawa Trust was related to Shirai?" Hanzawa said. "Hey! Are you crazy, Hanzawa!!" Watari said, "The bank is now discussing whether to let Shirai be the acting president. If President Nakano really gets into trouble, then Shirai will basically be the next president. In this case, you still want to fight them, aren't you stupid?!"

"I increasingly feel that this matter is not that simple." Hanzawa took another bite of fried noodles.

"You are not a detective, you are a banker!!" Watari Mari said seriously.

In the restaurant, the two continued chatting.

During the conversation, Hanzawa had already made up his mind.

Previous investigations have focused on the Tokyo Central Bank.

Now it is necessary to check the Yoshizawa Trust.

……

4:12 pm, Financial Services Department.

Kitahara sat in his office chair, reading the materials. Today, President Nakano was taken away by the Financial Services Agency for questioning. In addition, cash account information was collected from the headquarters of the Tokyo Central Bank.

With the powerful support of modern computer technology, the analysis results of cash accounts can be obtained in less than a few hours.

It has basically been confirmed that the Tokyo Central Bank did engage in illegal operations of "empty withdrawal and empty deposit".

Governor Nakano was placed in a special hotel by the Financial Services Agency, where he was prepared to be questioned day and night.

This inspection by the Financial Services Department has yielded great results.

In the office hall, Kurosaki was so happy that he hummed unconsciously and walked around. He turned around and saw Kitahara still looking thoughtful, so he couldn't help but walk over.

"Lawyer Kitahara, thanks to you, today's work is done! Why don't you relax for a while!!"

Kitahara was still thinking, and then he said: "I don't think it's that simple."

"But now, the 'empty withdrawal and empty deposit' operation has been basically confirmed to be true. How can the Tokyo Central Bank deny it?! Is it going to say that those cash accounts are fake?! This is simply impossible!"

"But..." Kitahara said, "President Nakano of the Tokyo Central Bank. He cooperated with us to accept the questioning of the Financial Services Agency without any resistance. As a president, he must know that being questioned by the Financial Services Agency is not a pleasant process. But why he came here so easily, I still don't understand."

"Mr. Kitahara is worrying too much." Kurosaki laughed.

For the chief prosecutor, now that the president is under control, the written evidence of "empty withdrawal and empty storage" is as solid as a mountain of evidence. What could be more advantageous and more certain of victory than this?

Kurosaki didn't understand what the lawyer was worried about.

Perhaps this is due to the lawyer's overly worrisome nature.

Since investigating the Tokyo Central Bank, Kitahara always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. For some reason, he always felt as if he was being manipulated.

"Don't you feel like we are being manipulated?" Beiyuan suddenly said.

"Manipulation? Who is manipulating us? Who can manipulate the Financial Services Agency?!" Hearing this, Kurosaki burst into laughter. "Tell me, who is manipulating us?"

"Director Kurosaki, do you remember the focus of our investigation at the beginning?" Kitahara said.

The next second, the lawyer mentioned the woman's name.

"Eriko."
