Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 759 Back to the starting point

"Minghui Island's bad loan projects were indeed mostly participated in by the original industry. However, how the decision was made from the beginning has become a mystery," said Shirai. "If we want to hold them accountable, we must thoroughly clarify how the project started in the first place."

"However, without that important meeting minutes document, it is impossible to identify the most important person responsible." Shirai said, "In the end, our original industry group was held accountable the most and most harshly because we had so many people involved in the project."

Kitahara listened to Shirai's words and fell into deep thought.

All of this is quite different from the facts that I know from the outside.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Shirai herself comes from the original industry, so she will beautify the original industry.

Then, Kitahara raised his head and asked:

"What about the Yoshizawa Trust case this time? You must have planned all this with Eriko."

"Yes, I admit that I planned this with Eriko."

"What is your motive?"

"It's simple. I want to be the president. So, I want to pin the bad loan incident on Nakano. This will hit the original Tokyo faction, and secondly, it will cover up the real bad debts of the original industry faction."

"What is Eriko's motive?"

"To be honest, I think there are only two reasons. The first is probably revenge. In the Minghui Island scandal, Jiang Lizi was fired. So, this woman is taking revenge on the bank. The second is that she is running some underground businesses. It's a good opportunity to put the blame on the bank."

Shirai's voice fell.

After listening to Shirai's story, Kitahara felt that the whole incident was full of contradictions.

First, if Eriko had a good relationship with the former Tokyo faction, why was Eriko purged after the Meihui Island incident? Second, if Eriko really had a connection with the congressman, why was she also kicked out of the bank? Didn't the congressman behind her protect her?

There is also the question of why the Yoshizawa Trust incident was blamed on the former Tokyo faction. After all, according to Shirai, it was the former Tokyo faction that promoted Eriko.

The whole thing became confusing.

Kitahara didn't expect that after asking Shirai, he would have more doubts.

"Tell me more about Eriko and that congressman," Kitahara said.

"I know very little about this matter," Shirai said. "At the time, Eriko was the vice president, and I wasn't even a bank executive. I really didn't know about these secrets."

"Tell me everything you know."

"Okay. Then I'll tell you the only thing I know."

"Say it!"

"What a coincidence. The congressman contacted the director of the Tokyo Central Bank and Eriko through a lawyer. If I remember correctly, the lawyer's name was Eto."

Be caught off guard.

At this moment, the name "Eto" appeared from Shirai's mouth.

It was like a thunderclap exploding in Kitahara's heart.

Kitahara was stunned for a moment. The reason why he was surprised was because this world was so coincidental. The Eto whom he had been tracking down was actually the middleman between the congressman and the director of the Tokyo Central Bank, Eriko!

If Shirai's information is accurate, then Eto must have a very deep relationship with a member of Congress!

In an instant, it seemed that many things made sense.

Think about it, the 5 million yen warehouse receipt pledge incident that first put him in a desperate situation. The victim of this incident was Mizuho Bank.

If Eto has been acting as an intermediary between members of Congress and banks for a long time, then it is natural that Eto is very familiar with banking affairs.

Kitahara finally understood why Eto, who had almost no experience in banking, was able to come up with a 5 million yen warehouse receipt pledge incident. It turned out that he had learned from the Tokyo Central Bank the process nodes in the business processes of large banks that were easily exploited and broken.

Previously, Kyoto University's Ogawara's industrial research cooperation strategy. This is obviously also the work of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. In addition, the fingerprints of the congressman's bodyguard were also extracted from Eto's car. Next, regarding the subsidy fraud of Shinjuku City Hall, Eto was able to know the review standards and processes of Shinjuku City Hall's key subsidy projects. I'm afraid there must be someone behind this who is providing information.

All of this points to a member of Congress.

Kitahara didn't expect that it would end up like this.

If Eto really represented a member of Congress, then his fight against Eto would undoubtedly be a war against the most powerful person in this country.

"Have you ever dealt with Eto?"

"some."

"How about it."

"He is a man who looks a bit serious and old-fashioned. He doesn't talk much."

"Has Eto ever handled your Tokyo Central Bank's project?"

"There should be."

"Which ones?"

"I have to go look for it."

"Even if you say one first, quick!!"

"I really forgot." Shirai said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "How could I possibly remember a project that an external lawyer participated in? You know, that lawyer Jiang Teng is not the legal advisor of our bank. It is impossible for me to have a deep memory of which projects he participated in."

"If you really need it, I can go find it for you." Shirai said.

"You really can't remember anything at all!"

"Oh! You are such a jerk!" Shirai complained. Then the former acting president began to ponder and recall. Suddenly, his eyes lit up:

"I remember what projects this Eto has participated in. Previously, there was a syndicated loan project in which this lawyer Eto participated. At that time, several major banks in Tokyo lent money to Kawamoto Kosou. Our Tokyo Central Bank was originally the lead bank, but later, the lead bank was changed to Mizuho Bank. Lawyer Eto participated in the change of the lead bank."

Kawamoto Expressway?!

A familiar name sounded again.

This is the first case Kitahara has dealt with since coming to this world.

After going around in circles, I'm back again!!!

Eto was once involved in a syndicated loan for Kawamoto Expressway.

Kitahara remembered that Miyagawa's father, Imanishi, was the legal advisor of Kawamoto Koukou. And Imanishi's large number of copper trade factoring business in the law firm was also related to Eto.

It seems that Imanishi has been used by Eto to some extent.

Kitahara didn't know why, but he felt that the truth was getting closer and closer. However, the closer he got to the truth, the more mysteries there were. Kitahara hated this feeling very much. All the details that he didn't pay attention to at the beginning turned out to be related to Eto! And the people around him were slowly being involved in this incident for some reason, as if an invisible net was covering his life.

"Tell me how to contact Eriko. I want to see her." Kitahara's voice sounded.
