Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 772 Confrontation

"Where is her location?!" Yokogawa shouted. In his police career, he had never seen such an arrogant criminal. In addition to announcing the bomb attack, she even detonated the bomb next to the Metropolitan Police Department. Judging from the intensity of the detonation, it was far beyond the common homemade explosives. To achieve this kind of power, industrial-level technology is required.

"Can't...can't locate..." a police officer replied, "We can't locate Eriko's signal!"

"How come we can't locate her?!" Yokogawa cursed, "We've been talking on the phone for so long? Why can't we lock onto her location?!"

"I... we don't know either." The police officer stared at the computer screen. "For some reason, we can't track her location. We speculate that she may have used an anti-positioning device to filter and reflect the mobile phone signal. There was an unknown noise in her voice during the call, which might be the effect of using an anti-positioning device."

Things were far beyond Yokogawa's imagination. He couldn't believe that a former bank employee could get professional explosives and even set up anti-positioning equipment specifically for the police.

"Eriko is still asking to see senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department, otherwise she will continue to detonate bombs. What she did just now was just a warning to the Metropolitan Police Department. If the senior officials don't come out, she will detonate the bomb in the bank!" said the police officer anxiously.

Even the Metropolitan Police Department's experienced negotiation experts were helpless.

The explosion just now proved that the woman in front of him, named Eriko, did have the ability to create a deadly threat.

Yokogawa felt helpless. There was no doubt that it was a remote-controlled bomb, but now, he couldn't even find Eriko's location. There were a lot of people in the area, and it was difficult to find out who was detonating the bomb through surveillance. Even if the criminal was hiding in the bathroom nearby and pressed the remote control to detonate it, the surveillance video would not be able to detect it.

Just then——outside the corridor, a voice sounded:

"Superintendent Ishikura has arrived!!"

Ishikura Ichiro is the Superintendent of Police of the Metropolitan Police Department. The Superintendent of Police is above the Chief Superintendent and below the Superintendent General, and can be regarded as a high-ranking official of the Japanese police. Generally speaking, there are less than 30 people with the title of Superintendent of Police in Japan. They can be said to be the real power figures in the police organization, and they have an influence on any decision that cannot be ignored.

Ishikura used to be from the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department. He had fought against many large transnational criminal organizations and had a very strong deterrent effect on the people in various criminal organizations. Someone even offered a reward of hundreds of millions of yen for Ishikura's head.

The superintendent walked into the operations room exhausted. "What's the situation now?"

"The criminal demands to see the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department immediately, otherwise he will detonate the bomb." Yokokawa reported.

Ishikura nodded. Without any hesitation, the senior executive immediately walked into the next room connected to Eriko's phone and said:

"Ms. Eriko, is that right? I am Metropolitan Superintendent Ishikura. You requested to meet with the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department, and now your request has been granted. As a senior authorized official of the Metropolitan Police Department, I will have a dialogue with you. You can tell me whatever you want."

Ishikura's tone was calm, and was mainly aimed at comforting.

Yokokawa listened to the conversation between the two and was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe.

"Ishikura, right?" Eriko's voice rang out.

"Yes."

"Did you install bombs in the head office buildings of five banks?" Ishikura asked, "What was your reason for doing this? Is there any compelling reason? Maybe if you tell us, we can help you." A sneer came from the other end of the microphone.

Ishikura couldn't help but frown.

Then, there was silence.

There was no more talk from the other end of the phone, and it remained silent for nearly a minute.

"If you have any difficulties, we will find someone to help you." Ishikura continued, "But we hope you understand one thing, human life is of paramount importance. Life is absolutely not something you can joke about. Just tell us what you want, and we will try our best to do what we can. If there is no immediate solution, we will also find a way to help you solve it."

Shicang is guiding them step by step.

However, Eriko seemed unmoved. Her voice rang out: "Today, my request is very simple. As long as you announce it to the public immediately, then I will cancel the detonation of the bomb."

"What's your request?" Shicang asked hurriedly when he saw the other party starting to give in.

"I request the Accounting Inspection Agency to intervene and conduct a comprehensive audit of the five major banks, namely, Mitsubishi UFJ Bank President Kuriyama Nobuyoshi, Mizuho Bank President Nakata Aionobu, Tokyo Central Bank President Nakano Wataru, Sumitomo Mitsui Bank President Egasaki Kaori, and Shinsei Bank President Doi Yukito, to audit the projects handled and personal assets of the above five presidents during their tenure, and to make the audit report public to the public throughout Japan."

Eriko's voice was emotionless.

Just said it so calmly,

However, these words were earth-shattering.

To audit the presidents of the five major banks in the East at the same time? ! And demand that the audit reports be made public? !

None of the police officers present had expected such a request. Ishikura was also surprised. He had listened to the briefing of the case on the helicopter before coming. He thought it was a case of retaliation for the bank's personnel decision. Maybe the criminals' demands were nothing more than asking for reinstatement of their positions or salary compensation.

However, the demands made by Eriko have nothing to do with her own interests.

Ishikura glanced at Yokogawa standing next to him.

Yokokawa immediately understood. This former bank employee might have been bewitched by some organization to become like this. Yokokawa immediately walked out of the operations room and began to order his men to track down Eriko's network of relationships and observe whether she had any contact with some underground organizations, so that she could become so extreme.

Just as Yokogawa was busy assigning tasks to his subordinates, he heard Eriko's voice coming from the operations room:

"Didn't you just say that human life is very important? Why are you hesitating? Is it that not allowing the presidents of the five major banks to be audited is more important than the 'human life' you keep talking about? So this is your attitude towards human life. You would rather let the people die in the incident than let the presidents accept a transparent audit. Is this the so-called Japanese police?"

Jiang Lizi's words, full of sarcasm, echoed throughout the operations room...
