Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 726 Tracking

In the evening, Hanzawa returned to the head office building of the Tokyo Central Bank.

He sat in his seat somewhat tiredly, and couldn't help rubbing his eyes with his hands. After the intense activities in the past few days, he felt that his body was about to fall apart.

However, even so, he still had to force himself to stand up.

There are still many things that have not been clarified about Yoshizawa Trust.

It was almost 9 o'clock in the evening and the office hall was basically pitch dark. Only the area where Hanzawa was was still lit.

At this moment, a call sounded:

"Vice-Minister Hanzawa."

Hanze was startled by the sudden noise. He thought it was haunted when such a sound was heard in the middle of the night. He looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a light on in a remote office at the corner of the corridor.

And his loyal subordinate was greeting him.

During the day, he sent this subordinate to the archives in the suburbs to look for materials about Shirai and Eriko.

So fast?!

Hanze immediately became energized and almost ran all the way there.

As soon as I arrived at the office door, what caught my eye was the files and documents that filled up half of the office.

"Really...really, they found the project materials that Shirai and Eriko had handled in the past so quickly?!" Hanzawa couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.

The subordinate touched his nose a little embarrassedly. "The bank's archives are located in the suburbs. Usually no one goes there. The security is also very lax. Once you get in, you can basically rummage around at will. I will use the archives' printer to copy all the materials right away."

"That's great!" Hanzawa couldn't help but praise.

However, in the midst of happiness——

Hanze looked at the materials that filled up half of the office and felt troubled.

It is really not enough for me to discover the complicated interest relationship between Shirai and Eriko through these files by myself.

Just at this moment, Hanzawa felt a pat on his shoulder.

Turning around to look——

It turned out to be Watari!

Watari Masato knew the difficult situation Hanzawa was in. Although he was always pragmatic and did not think that continuing to investigate the truth was the solution to the current predicament, he was unwilling to stand idly by since his friend had chosen such a path.

"Hanzawa! You are such a troublesome friend!" Watari said unhappily, "If you need my help in looking at the materials, I can help you."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Hanzawa felt warm in his heart to have such a friend standing up for him in times of crisis.

Banking is always a place full of brutal struggles.

There is intrigue and deception at all times.

Jealousy, hatred, greed, corruption.

So many negative events and negative emotions affect us every day and every hour.

A friend who is willing to stand up and share your burden.

How precious it is at this moment.

"Hanzawa, there is another person." Watari Mari gave a mysterious smile.

At this time, a man who was nearly sixty years old and looked rather sloppy was seen standing behind Watari.

This man was none other than Imura, the service officer who had told Hanzawa and the others about the bank's past. "Hey! Hey! Hey!" Imura said, "I'm not concerned about you young people! I'm just afraid that you might not understand the old files, so I'm here to give you some guidance."

Jingcun is in the service department, so naturally not many people are willing to deal with this bad-tempered and sloppy man.

By having dinner with Hanzawa, Watari and others, Imura felt much relieved of his loneliness.

In addition, Imura had also heard of Hanzawa's deeds.

So, he also decided to "join in" and have a try.

Imura was also brought in by Watari.

Because there is such a "veteran" in charge, if there is anything in the file that you don't understand, you can ask him, which saves a lot of time guessing and not understanding.

Hanzawa saw Watari helping him like this.

For a moment, my eyes even became a little wet.

I do not know what to say.

"Hanzawa! I hope you get promoted in the future, but remember me, your brother!" Watari punched him.

It is said that great favors require no thanks.

In the current high-pressure atmosphere of the bank, it is definitely a great favor that they are still willing to help me.

Hanzawa knew that no matter how formally he expressed his gratitude, he would never be able to repay the favor of helping him.

Right now, efficiency takes priority.

Need to do some work first.

"But, Hanzawa." Watari placed one hand on the files in the bank, "Now there are so many materials, where should we start, and what are we looking for?"

Watari Masato raised a realistic question.

Now, we have the manpower.

The materials are available.

But what is the method of tracing?

These are data from more than ten or even twenty years ago.

Bank executives of Eriko and Shirai's level have handled at least thousands of large financing projects. The two of them together have handled thousands of projects.

Among so many projects, if you look for them without a goal and just hope to stumble upon something useful, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"He's right," Imura added. "In the past, bank file management was not so standardized. Often, the content of each item might be entered incorrectly, or there might be confusion between items. Also, the index numbers were not standardized, making it difficult to form a complete tracing path."

Hanze listened to their words and knew that they pointed out a key problem.

Yes, it's a tricky question.

"If so, I don't know if it's feasible." Hanzawa said, "If Eriko and Shirai are still in close contact over the years, then when Eriko was still the vice president, many of her resources should have been inherited by Shirai, who is from the original industry. In this way, the resources of the two people will intersect."

"Then, we will go back and investigate Yoshizawa Trust. Trust is essentially a channel. The main purpose of our bank using trust is to inject bank funds into projects that we cannot invest in directly through the form of trust."

"I checked Yoshizawa Trust's business dealings with the Tokyo Central Bank before, and it turned out to be quite a lot, with nearly 200 projects. The funds from these projects will inevitably be invested in the companies that actually use them in the future."

Hanzawa continued, "So, we need to draw two circles. One circle is the companies related to Shirai and Eriko, and the other circle is the companies that Yoshizawa's trust funds are actually invested in. If there is a big overlap between the two, then we can basically lock down the relationship between Shirai and Eriko!"
