Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 788 Asahi Shimbun

Hanzawa never thought that he and his wife Xiahua would be abandoned by the police so easily. He couldn't figure out what the problem was. Did the police not care about their lives at all? ! Yokogawa's cold and refusal attitude on the phone almost overturned Hanzawa's perception of the police.

Hanzawa didn't know what to do.

This was the most desperate moment in his life.

Eriko laughed and said, "The police are like this. The Accounting Inspection Office is like this too. People in power don't really listen to your ideas. Would you listen to the ideas of an ant passing under your feet? No. So, this is the problem we are facing now."

"Hanzawa, can you understand this kind of despair? This kind of despair that no matter what you say, no one will listen to you." Eriko's voice continued.

The woman picked up the phone that was calling the Metropolitan Police Department, put it aside, and did not hang up.

Then, Eriko dialed the Asahi Shimbun number on her other cell phone.

at this time--

In the Metropolitan Police Department's operations meeting room.

Some police officers were also surprised by Yokokawa's tough attitude. Some even couldn't help asking Yokokawa if it was inappropriate to do so and why he didn't try to delay the situation.

Yokogawa faced the police officers and said, "This tough plan was not decided by me alone. It was a collective decision made by the top leaders of the Metropolitan Police Department. At least, from my personal experience, as long as the employees trapped in the building are safe, the police should not make any form of compromise to prevent future criminals from following suit."

"As for what the top brass really intends, we don't know, and there's no need to know. At this moment, the most important thing for us is to obey the orders and the battle plan, and prepare to strike at Eriko!!"

Just a few minutes ago, the top brass of the Metropolitan Police Department had already sent the battle plan to Yokokawa.

The special assault team is now ready in the secret garage of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Yokogawa was about to leave the combat meeting room when suddenly, the police officer next to him shouted, "Eriko asked that employee to call the Asahi Shimbun!!"

the other side--

Tokyo Central Bank Head Office Building, 51st floor.

The call to the Asahi Shimbun was connected.

A female voice came from the speakerphone: "Hello, this is the Asahi Shimbun incident clue hotline. Do you have any information to provide?"

Hanze felt his throat tighten, but for the sake of his wife Xiahua, he had to speak:

"I'm an employee of the Tokyo Central Bank. You all should know about the bomb notice that Eriko posted online today. Right now, I'm at the bank's head office building. Eriko is right next to me."

The Asahi Shimbun's Incident Clues Department was immediately shocked when they heard that the call was from Eriko, who had carried out the bomb attack today. Soon, the call from the Incident Clues Department was transferred to a special news room. All employees in the entire news building were mobilized.

Of course, Asahi Shimbun would not miss this opportunity that fell from the sky. All the important editors gathered together, and the special news room was debugging the equipment at the fastest speed, and various debugging technicians were running around. The president of Asahi Shimbun and other corporate executives quickly made an important decision.

They decided to broadcast this call live. A woman had planted bombs on five of the most important banks in the East. As journalists, they were eager to understand the woman's motives and why she did this.

Soon, the news room was debugged.

The camera was pointed at the live broadcast room. "Now, I want to tell you that we are currently broadcasting the contents of our telephone conversation nationwide. Excuse me, do you think there is any problem?" the female host in the live broadcast room asked tentatively.

Hanzawa looked up at Eriko.

Eriko nodded.

Hanzawa then said, "No problem. Eriko herself agrees that you can do the live broadcast."

After getting the other party's consent, the director of Asahi Shimbun immediately pressed the button to start the live broadcast. In an instant, the screen of TV Asahi was switched to this live broadcast room. Today, what Eriko did made a sensation in the whole of Japan. Everyone was talking about it. In addition to the preview video on the Internet, people were eager to know everything about Eriko and wanted to hear more news from her.

When the Asahi TV station announced that it would broadcast Eriko's phone call live, the TV station's ratings soared at that moment.

"First of all..." Hanzawa began, "Eriko asked me to contact the Accounting Inspection Office. She had previously asked the Accounting Inspection Office to respond to the audit of the five major banks and their presidents. However, the Accounting Inspection Office cannot be contacted now. Please help contact them."

"Okay, we'll send someone to contact you right away," the hostess said. She looked quite nervous, after all, this was an unusual conversation. Next to her was a small tablet that displayed in real time the editor-in-chief and director's instructions on what she should say.

"Besides contacting the Accounting Inspection Office, do you have anything else to say to us?" the female host asked.

"Yes." Hanzawa's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Eriko wants to open a case to you." Hanzawa took the materials and prepared to read the text on them. Hanzawa felt that his throat was so dry that he couldn't speak.

"This case is a 50 billion yen loan from Mizuho Bank to Makino Norin. In this loan, Makino Norin provided forest land and coastal land worth about 15 billion yen as collateral to borrow 50 billion yen from Mizuho Bank."

"The original plan for the loan was to build a fertilizer plant, a raw material storage facility and other large-scale facilities for Makino Agriculture and Forestry. The site of the fertilizer plant was set in Ota Ward, Tokyo. However, 18 months after the loan was issued, that is, today, after an on-site survey, there is no trace of any activity to build a fertilizer plant at the original site."

"Eriko, let me ask you all, where might this loan have gone?"

In an instant, all kinds of shouts rang out in the Asahi Shimbun office.

"Go investigate Makino Agriculture and Forestry!"

“What kind of company is this!!”

"Is this a power-for-money transaction? Is it illegal lending?"

"Get me the Ota Ward planning map and factory construction approval documents right away!"

"Immediately send a group of reporters to conduct an on-site investigation! See if the address of the fertilizer factory is really as stated on the phone!!"

Reporters from the Asahi Shimbun were quickly mobilized to investigate the background of Makino Agriculture and Forestry. At this moment, almost all Japanese people knew about the existence of a company called Makino Agriculture and Forestry...
