Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 810 Atonement

"Now that Jiang Lizi has been arrested, what should we do? Are we afraid that she will confess something?" Ishikura said to the phone, "Do we need to take some action in response to this?"

Jiang Teng was thinking. Indeed, the changes in tonight's plan were beyond the organization's expectations. This was the first time that a member of the organization had been arrested. However, the organization was extremely confidential. Even the core members had limited access to information.

In the framework of this organization, everyone can only communicate with fixed information personnel in the organization and transmit information. These organizational personnel who transmit information in the middle are called "messengers". Everyone communicates with the organization through messengers. The information that the messenger knows about the organization is compressed to the minimum amount.

The messenger only knows the person he is delivering the message to, and does not even know the person's identity or status in the organization.

Such a system ensures that the amount of information possessed by each person in the organization is not enough to pose a threat. This is also the reason why Jiang Lizi remained calm after being arrested.

However, Eto has his own concerns.

"It doesn't matter what she said," the former law firm director said. "What matters is what the Kyoto police want her to say."

The key to the problem is why the Kyoto police wanted to snatch Eriko.

What exactly do they want to find out from Eriko?

Tonight, the group's goal was certainly not to actually launch a bomb attack.

If they were, they would have already started bombing the streets of Tokyo to pieces.

Their real target, of course, is the Cabinet's Minister of General Affairs, Terada.

By the same token, since Eriko is under police control, perhaps there is no need to worry about what comes out of her mouth.

What’s important is whether someone wants to use Eriko to do something.

This is what really matters.

"Are you familiar with the supervision of prisoners in Kyoto?" said Eto.

"If the police there insist on not letting us see it, we really can't see it," Ishikura said. "But, all the surveillance footage from detention centers across the country uses the same system. That is to say, all the surveillance footage from detention centers will be uploaded to a common server and stored. We can check it out at any time."

"Very good." Jiang Teng said, "You must pay attention to this. Because later, we can determine who contacted Eriko and find the person behind Eriko's capture."

"By the way, Eto." Ishikura hesitated for a moment, then said, "How is the boat ticket going? Has the organization recognized me? Can I get the boat ticket?"

The inspector uttered a strange word.

"Boat ticket".

Before, when Eto and Kitahara were confronting each other in Kyoto's castle tower, Eto had said some very strange things, such as "Noah's Ark" and "great disaster".

Noah's Ark is a story about a great flood that happened on earth.

Noah built a huge ship according to the instructions of God.

This giant ship ultimately protected the creatures on Noah's earth from God's punishment of a great flood.

The ticket that the Superintendent was referring to was naturally the pass that allowed one to board Noah's Ark.

But the problem is-

What exactly does Noah's Ark refer to?

And what does the great flood in the world refer to?

It's impossible that Tokyo was submerged by a huge flood as in the myth.

Ishikura was a little nervous, waiting for the other party's answer. Since he joined the organization, he has been providing them with information from the Metropolitan Police Department in exchange for the opportunity to get a ticket.

Eto is one of the members who knows the core plan of Noah's Ark.

He naturally understood what these words meant, and he also knew what kind of tickets the organization could provide.

"Not yet." Jiang Teng replied, "You handled Eriko's case very badly this time. You actually let others capture Eriko."

Ishikura was speechless as he listened to Eto's scolding.

The Tokyo police's attitude appeared unusually tough during tonight's operation.

In fact, all of this was arranged by Shicang.

The purpose is to intensify conflict and cause chaos.

Then, after a chaos, he quietly escorted Eriko away.

This was originally Ishikura's plan.

Even including the bank clerk named Hanzawa.

The reason why he instructed his subordinates to be so tough and not care about the lives of the hostages was because the banker had become one of the targets that the organization wanted to eliminate after the Financial Services Agency incident. The original plan tonight was to use the banker named Hanzawa and then eliminate him.

Originally, tonight would be a situation where we could kill two birds with one stone.

But it all went wrong in the end.

"I... do I still have a chance?" Ishikura asked tentatively, "I really need a boat ticket. I beg the organization to consider me. I will definitely make amends next time."

"Ishikura," Jiang Teng said, "Your problems are very difficult to handle."

The former director of the law firm said in a cold tone, "In the past, you seized smuggling cases and handled so much stolen goods privately, making a profit of at least hundreds of millions of yen. What do you think would happen if the public knew one day that the so-called police hero was actually a huge corrupt official? This amount of money is enough to at least sentence him to life imprisonment."

Eto uncovered the secret that the Superintendent was most reluctant to face.

In the past, Shicang was an expert in dealing with smuggling crimes. Smuggling naturally involves stolen goods. After the smuggled stolen goods are seized, how to deal with them becomes a huge problem. This is also the place where problems are most likely to arise. In the face of human nature, no one can withstand temptation.

Including this so-called Superintendent of Police.

At first, Shicang only underreported the amount of stolen goods he had seized, and quietly kept some of the smuggled goods for himself. Later, his appetite grew bigger and bigger, and he even openly shared the spoils with his cronies.

Ishikura broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what Jiang Teng said.

The hand holding the phone was shaking.

Yes, the Superintendent is currently at the peak of his career.

Think about it, there are only about 30 police officers in the whole of Japan who can be promoted to the rank of Superintendent of Police.

Anyone who can sit in this position is already a rare talent.

It is precisely because of this that Ishikura is unwilling to give up all this.

"Everyone is guilty." Jiang Teng said, "The organization knows this. You are guilty, and I am guilty too. Therefore, we must practice atonement. The organization will only forgive those who sincerely repent. You must remember that the organization is giving sinners like you and me a chance to redeem themselves!"

There was an irresistible majesty in Eto's voice.

"The tickets are for those who have redeemed their sins." Jiang Teng said, "Only the last pure people can get the tickets. So, Ishikura, when you prove to the organization that you have nothing to hide and serve the organization wholeheartedly, then these problems will naturally be solved. Noah's Ark will protect you from the most violent floods."
