Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 762 Preparation

Three days later, it was drizzling in Tokyo. It had been raining all day, and pedestrians holding umbrellas were walking hurriedly on the street. Continuous rain is always annoying. Some people who forgot to bring umbrellas just hid in the convenience store and cursed the weather.

In the rain, Kitahara drove a white Toyota to Aobadai Apartment. He held the steering wheel with both hands and stepped lightly on the accelerator.

Water drops splashed on the front window and were then wiped away by the wipers. Over and over again, the scattered water drops continued to repeat their fate.

I'm going to see Eriko today.

The only business card found in Eto's car was about this woman.

After Eto mysteriously disappeared in Kyoto, the only clue left was the woman pointed to by this business card. She was the last clue to track down Eto.

The bell tied to the rearview mirror in Toyota makes a crisp sound as the vehicle turns.

I don't know what physical laws this temple instrument that protects the car owner's safety follows when it shakes.

Everything is unknown.

Kitahara didn't know what would happen next. He wasn't even sure if Eriko would show up.

Since Shirai is in trouble, Eriko will be extremely cautious about Shirai's request to meet her. Maybe she won't even show up.

However, even though I was not sure, I had to go. I had no choice.

The red light of the traffic light came on, and the Toyota stopped. Pedestrians crossed the zebra crossing. The light of the traffic light in the rain, scattered by the rain, was like a red eye, blinking and monitoring everyone's actions.

Kitahara was thinking in the car, is Eriko really a person? The public information he collected before and the information provided by Shirai are inconsistent.

She seems to be a strong woman who is decisive and efficient, but according to Shirai, employees working in the Financing Department 3 of the Industrial Central Bank do not feel much pressure.

She appears to be a calm person, but during her tenure at the Bank of Tokyo, she adopted a radical expansionary policy.

She seemed to be a noble person who could stick to her own choices and refused the Industrial Central Bank's request to lend to related companies, but later she climbed up the network of connections with members of Congress.

She is a contradictory person.

She is an unpredictable person.

But no matter what, it is certain that Eriko is a person with ruthless means and strategies.

Kitahara suspected that the measures taken by Tokyo Securities Regulatory Bureau against him in the previous bidding fraud case of Shinjuku City Hall might also be related to Eriko. According to his own intelligence, Eriko also had her own spies and pawns in Tokyo Securities Regulatory Bureau.

How extensive is her network of relationships?

Was she really connected to a congressman, and if so, who was that congressman?

As they got closer to the Aobadai Apartment, Kitahara drove the car into the underground garage of a nearby shopping mall. The wheels rolled over the speed bumps and drove through a downward spiraling internal road to the parking lot.

The vehicle is turned off.

Pull out the key.

The ventilation system in the underground parking lot made a "buzz, buzz, buzz" sound.

There are still two hours until the meeting time.

Kitahara had already arrived nearby.

There is another problem that needs to be solved. That is how to restrain Eriko and make her surrender. There are only two ways to make someone surrender. One is mental surrender, and the other is physical surrender.

Simply put, it is threats and violence.

In terms of threats, Kitahara already has materials on Shirai. Hanzawa, the deputy director of the second business department of the Tokyo Central Bank, is also helping him to investigate more evidence of Eriko's illegal activities.

Although Eriko has a great ability to cover up evidence, there will always be some clues left behind. And these clues will eventually converge into a huge crack.

Then came violence.

Yes, Kitahara never thought that simply throwing out some so-called illegal materials could make a tyrant like Eriko surrender.

Such a scene can only be a fantasy.

A ruthless woman who was expelled from the bank but was able to run a huge underground industry in Tokyo, including gambling, money laundering, asset transfer, and usury.

Just a few alleged illegal materials could not shock her. In her non-banking career, she would probably face many more and more thrilling accusations.

Therefore, to make such a person surrender, one can only resort to the most primitive violence. Use the fear of physical destruction to make her surrender.

Of course, Kitahara didn't want to be a murderer.

As for the use of violence, he handed it over to the police chief Nishino, whom he met during the Kyoto case. Nishino had secretly sent several undercover police officers.

Nishino's action was of course illegal. But this maverick police chief didn't care. He wanted to find the real culprit of the Shinkansen collision. This was also the most important reason why he spared no effort and dared to help Kitahara.

In the side pocket of Kitahara's suit was a specially made wireless headset, which was connected to the police's secret operation channel. Through this headset, Kitahara could issue orders to Nishino's plainclothes police officers. For this purpose, Kitahara also memorized hundreds of terms and codes used exclusively in police operations.

While Kitahara was still in the underground garage, Nishino's plainclothes police officers had already set up surveillance around the Aobadai Apartment. These police officers were the elite of the Kyoto police. There were a total of ten people, and they were well-trained to deal with any emergency and be able to arrest people in the shortest possible time.

Kitahara and Nishino agreed on it.

If Eriko is unwilling to cooperate, the plainclothes police will immediately arrest her and take her to the Kyoto police station, where Nishino will have plenty of ways to make Eriko talk.

A cold-blooded lawyer and a brutal sheriff used such means to deal with a woman who was considered cruel.

In such extraordinary times, only extraordinary measures can be used.

Of course, Beiyuan couldn't be 100% sure of winning, but he would still use all the power he could within the controllable range to make everything as perfect as possible.

As long as Eriko dared to show up as promised, he would strike her with lightning speed. Kitahara bet that Eriko must not have guessed that he would have the help of Kyoto police officers. He placed his bet on this point.

Gradually, time approached the agreed time. Kitahara opened the car door, walked out of the underground parking lot, held an umbrella, and walked towards Aobadai Apartment.

In the rain, the Aobadai Apartment was like a huge black steel sword, inserted into the earth, reflecting cold light in the dark clouds. Kitahara walked into the interior of this luxurious tower and pressed the elevator button in the magnificent lobby.

As Beiyuan walked into the elevator, the elevator started. The rope turned, and a whistling sound broke through the air in the elevator shaft, sending the lawyer to the club on the top floor...
