Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 720 It turned out to be at the beginning!

When Kitahara said the name "Eriko", Kurosaki stopped talking for a moment.

Yes, the focus of the investigation now seems to have shifted subtly.

From the outset, the Tokyo Central Bank was investigated because Yoshizawa Trust, which was linked to Eriko, was assisting the bank in trying to cover up bad loans.

However, the focus of the investigation is now on the Tokyo Central Bank, and Eriko seems to have disappeared.

"Yoshizawa Trust, has the Financial Services Agency discovered anything recently?" Kitahara asked.

Although the Financial Services Agency did not conduct an on-site investigation of Yoshizawa Trust, it secretly obtained records of Yoshizawa Trust's main correspondent banks and trust project registration documents submitted to regulatory agencies.

Heisaki shook his head. "There are no substantial clues. The Financial Services Agency has secretly contacted the parties involved in many of the projects set up by Yoshizawa Trust, but has not found anything unusual yet. In particular, regarding the flow of funds of Yoshizawa Trust, we have analyzed its bank transactions, but have not found anything yet."

"If Yoshizawa Trust also colluded with the bank to use the 'empty withdrawal and empty deposit' method, then our pursuit of its funding path would be interrupted," Kitahara said.

"By the way, do you have any information about Yoshizawa Trust?" Kitahara asked.

Kurosaki pointed to a few boxes of documents in the corner of the office and said, "Those are them. I'll have a few people help you move them over."

"Don't bother with that. I can do it myself."

"By the way," Kitahara continued, "what was the basis for your suspicion that Yoshizawa Trust had any connection with Eriko?"

"Well." Kurosaki laughed.

Then, the chief prosecutor mysteriously pulled out a piece of paper from another desk and placed it in front of Kitahara.

This is a flyer for a real estate project.

Printed on it were a few large characters: "Aobadai Apartment."

This is a high-class tower building in Shinjuku area.

The flyers contained many pictures of the clubhouse and facilities in what appeared to be an extremely high-end apartment.

Further down, there is an introduction text:

The most fashionable real estate investment method in recent years is the trust holding method suitable for the wealthy.

Kurosaki pointed at it and said, "Did you see that, Lawyer Kitahara? This Aobadai Apartment is a very popular project in Shinjuku recently. It's a very luxurious tower project."

"One very special thing about this project is that the owner holds the real estate through a trust. And this trust is a project under the name of Yoshizawa Trust."

"Yoshizawa Trust established a new company called Aoba Ryokuchi Real Estate Trust in the Cayman Islands. Yoshizawa Trust injected funds into this new company in Cayman and then held the property rights of Aobadai Apartment through an offshore trust in Cayman."

"There are two signs that led us to discover a potential connection. Eriko has a capable subordinate named Ueno. He appears in the director information of this Cayman company. Secondly, we heard that some high-ranking personnel in Eriko's group also live in Aobadai Apartment."

Listening to Kurosaki's introduction, Kitahara stared at the flyer very seriously.

For some reason, Kitahara had a very familiar feeling.

It seems that I have seen it somewhere.

Where is it?

Just look at it.

Suddenly, memory came back.

It was like some unnoticed corner of my mind suddenly lit up.

Kitahara remembered!

Isn't this the apartment involved in the lawsuit over neighboring right of way?! Before the General Hotel case, the gateball team composed of hearing-impaired girls was also sued by the owner of Aobadai Apartment for neighboring right of way.

At that time, due to subway construction and the nearby General Hotel, the ground exits of Aobadai Apartment were blocked. So the owners of Aobadai Apartment sued the gateball team and demanded that their training grounds be opened to the owners.

The lawsuit was mainly between Miyagawa and Kumimon's legal assistant, Machiko.

At the beginning of the lawsuit, Miyakawa put forward a defense.

That is, the owner of Aobadai Apartment holds the property rights through a trust and is not the direct owner, so he is not qualified to file a lawsuit for neighboring land access.

Yes, I remember everything!

Who would have thought that the lawsuit over the right of way on neighboring land would actually involve the Yoshizawa Trust that we encountered today!

Everything.

It's as if there is a faint thread stringing them together.

That nasty feeling came back again.

It seems as if every move I have made so far has been part of a chess game calculated by others.

"What's wrong, Lawyer Kitahara?" Kurosaki looked at the young man in front of him, as if he was lost in some thought.

"For the Aobadai apartment project, I need the help of the Financial Services Agency. I must conduct a detailed investigation!" Kitahara said.

Beiyuan increasingly felt that there was something very wrong with this high-end tower building.

There must be something more hidden inside.

Kitahara suddenly thought that this layout seemed somewhat similar.

Next to Eto Law Firm is the nightclub run by Eriko, and next to it is also the branch of Mizuho Bank, the creditor of the 500 million yen warehouse receipts.

Today, the General Hotel is next to Aobadai Apartment.

Everything seems to have some kind of design.

All gathered together.

I didn't take it seriously at first, but now it is a crucial clue.

When Kurosaki heard Kitahara say this seriously, he was a little surprised for a moment. However, after spending some time together, Kurosaki began to trust him deeply.

"No problem. However, the owners of this Aobadai Apartment all hold the property rights through trust, so it is difficult for us to trace the actual owners."

"Don't worry about that," Kitahara said. "I once fought a lawsuit against the owner of Aobadai Apartment. At that time, when I was confirming the owner's committee's qualifications to sue before the lawsuit, I got the owner list of this apartment."

"I remember Director Kurosaki used to work at the National Taxation Bureau, right? For every owner of the Aobadai Apartment, their bank account funds, trust investment status, and tax status must be checked one by one!"

Although Kurosaki didn't know why Kitahara suddenly became so serious, he knew very well that if this lawyer thought something was important, it must be a big deal.

The director did not hesitate, and immediately walked out of the office and ordered several prosecutors to do the job. Soon, part of the Financial Services Agency's forces were mobilized again to investigate the Aobadai Apartment Project and Eriko.

Kitahara also walked out of the office and brought in the boxes of Yoshizawa Trust documents. Soon, he began to read the materials intently...
