Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 766 Bomb

Is... is it a bomb?! Kitahara couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes. However, the woman in front of him really did detonate a bomb in a tall building in the distance. The thick black smoke rising in the distance reminded Kitahara that all this was real. This woman named Eriko was actually so crazy!

"What's up, Lawyer Kitahara?" Eriko said, "You seem surprised."

Looking at the burning scene in the distance, the tragic scene of the Shinkansen collision in Kyoto was revived in Kitahara's memory at this moment.

"Is this what you call heaven on earth?" Kitahara questioned, "Your so-called heaven is to let innocent people die."

"To do extraordinary things, you must use extraordinary means," Eriko said. "Necessary sacrifices always need to be made."

"Lawyer Kitahara, I admire you very much. From the initial Kawamoto Kou case, to the Shogun Hotel case, from a series of cases at Kyoto University, to the recent confrontation with the Financial Services Agency. Now, you still have a chance to join us. This is my last invitation to you."

Kitahara was extremely nervous at this moment. The woman in front of him was definitely crazy. Kitahara didn't know where Eriko got the bombs from, and how she installed these dangerous devices in other high-rise buildings. What on earth was this woman trying to do? !

"I want to ask you. Why did you detonate the bomb?" Kitahara asked while observing how Eriko detonated the bomb.

"This is a gift from heaven." Jiang Lizi said, "Do you know where the explosion just happened?"

"where."

"That's where the Financial Services Agency, Tokyo Securities Regulatory Bureau, or other law enforcement agencies put people under house arrest, the infamous Building No. 16. I was also there, and was detained for nearly four months without any procedures. Lawyer Kitahara, aren't you a lawyer? If law enforcement agencies violate procedural regulations and illegally detain citizens, shouldn't you stand up? Now that I have personally blown up such an unjust place, shouldn't you be excited about it?"

Eriko's voice was calm and heartless.

Hearing this, Kitahara took a deep breath. Previously, the president of the Tokyo Central Bank, Nakano, was also taken away by the Financial Services Agency for questioning. I'm afraid he went here. If he had left a few days later, I'm afraid it would be unimaginable.

"You will be wanted by the police soon." Kitahara said, "The Metropolitan Police Department cannot ignore the existence of a bomber."

"What do you want to do?" Kitahara asked further. Eriko was able to lie dormant for decades, and now she has just detonated the bomb openly. She must have thought of all the escape routes or coping strategies. What does such a woman do? !

Kitahara quietly reached into his pocket. There were the special headphones he and the Kyoto plainclothes police officers wore. He turned the button and turned on the headphones. At the same time, he tapped the small earphone twice with his fingers.

This was the signal he and the Kyoto police agreed upon.

If it was an emergency, he would knock twice. The police would be ready to arrest him. As long as Kitahara knocked twice more, they would break in immediately if they were in place.

"Come to think of it, this is all thanks to you," said Eriko.

"Don't say that." Beiyuan said, "Don't throw the dirty water on me for what you did. From the beginning to the end, I never asked you to plant a bomb and blow up others."

"You are very capable." Eriko continued, "You can see the essence of things. In this Yoshizawa Trust case, I didn't expect you to team up with Hanzawa Naoki. Then, you also discovered the bad loans of Nishitani Electric. I think you are trying to dig out all the underground industrial networks about me through the Tokyo Central Bank." The woman in front of her guessed all of Kitahara's actions. In other words, she knew that if she continued to fight Kitahara, she would be arrested by the Financial Services Agency and the police sooner or later.

"I'm just an ordinary person without much ability." Kitahara said.

“Ordinary people can’t find this place.”

"You haven't answered me yet what your plans were for today. Why you set up and detonated the bomb."

Eriko stood up and looked at the scenery of Tokyo outside the French window. "This world is always very unfair. Evil people often go unpunished, while good people live cautiously. Isn't it a bit too much to reverse black and white? I worked in a bank for many years, and I know how the top people in this so-called big organization handle things."

"They had such a large amount of money in their hands, but they squandered it recklessly. They used the hard-earned money of depositors in projects that had no hope of return. After incurring huge losses, they were eager to use public funds to rescue them, making ordinary people pay for their mistakes twice."

"Wait. What on earth are you trying to accomplish by saying so much?" Beiyuan said, "You said you are not a good person, so why are you thinking about saving the world at this moment?"

"I want to tell the world today that if you do evil, there will be retribution." Eriko said calmly, "I am not a good person, and what I want to do is not to punish evil and promote good. I am just like an ancient fortune teller, warning of the decline of the world."

"What I'm going to do today is to issue a warning."

Kitahara didn't understand what Eriko wanted to do. But he felt something was wrong. If this woman could detonate a bomb at will without caring about human lives, then what she was going to do today must be very crazy.

Kitahara was hesitating.

He had not expected that today would be such a completely unexpected situation. He did not know how prepared the Kyoto police were at this time, nor did he know whether Eriko had set up bombs elsewhere. If he sent a message to the Kyoto police to arrest Eriko immediately, would there be another accident?

Everything is unknown.

"I don't understand what you are saying. Can you explain it more clearly?" Kitahara tried to get more information from the woman in front of him.

He stood up and stared at Eriko, trying to find the device on her body that could trigger the bomb to explode.

At this moment, fire trucks began to arrive at the bottom of the building in the distance. However, a fire on a very high floor is a very difficult task for fire rescue. Firefighters are still struggling to find a solution. Probably no one at the scene would have thought that the instigator of the explosion was watching them from the top floor of the Aobadai Apartment not far away.

At this time, Eriko's voice sounded: "I have planted bombs in the head office buildings of the five major banks: Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, Mizuho Bank, Tokyo Central Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and Shinsei Bank."
