Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 812 Case

Kurosawa was in awe of this congressman. Not because of his power, not because of his wealth, not because of his ambition or vision. A smart person would be in awe of another person, often because the other person is smarter. In other words, using the word "smart" to describe this congressman is not enough.

Kurosawa never really understood what this congressman was really thinking.

Yes, it is very difficult to guess even if you try.

It is also because of this that Kurosawa is in awe of him.

"You are thinking about things again." The congressman laughed a few times. "You must be wondering whether what I said just now was just a simple expression of my feelings or a warning to you."

The congressman's words accurately hit Kurosawa's thoughts.

"Nothing can be hidden from you." Kurosawa smiled bitterly.

The parliamentary secretary did not hide it.

Because he knew that no matter how he tried to cover it up, it would not escape the eyes of this congressman.

"Eriko was arrested today." Kurosawa decided to get to the point quickly and reported directly. He didn't want to continue wasting time discussing some mysterious and irrelevant issues.

"Which senior official in the Metropolitan Police Department arrested him?" the gentleman asked.

"The Kyoto police caught her." Kurosawa swallowed again. "It may sound a little unbelievable, but it really happened. The Kyoto head, Nishino, personally led a team all the way to Tokyo, captured Eriko, and escaped by helicopter."

To be honest, Kurosawa never expected that something like this would happen.

However, when the parliamentary secretary looked up and carefully observed the congressman's expression, the only emotion he read was calmness.

Yes, even though such a bizarre thing happened, he didn't see any surprise on the gentleman's face.

"Do you need any instructions?" Kurosawa asked tentatively.

After all, Eriko was caught.

She is not dead.

But he was caught.

Sometimes, dead people look scary.

But what is really scary is the living people.

As long as people are alive, all kinds of variables will arise.

"No need." The congressman replied lightly.

"But after all..." Kurosawa couldn't help but say, "The Kyoto police are notoriously overbearing and barbaric in handling cases. If they use some illegal means to get something out of Eriko's mouth, how should we respond?"

"Didn't I just tell you?" the congressman in front of him said again, "Kurosawa-kun, you are too entangled in one corner of the situation."

"what do you mean--"

"Although I don't know why the Kyoto police were able to capture Eriko, and who is behind them. However, the more time they spend on Eriko, the greater the angle they deviate from the track." The congressman's mouth curled up slightly, "They must be very happy to have captured Eriko this time."

"It doesn't matter whether Eriko succeeds or not in tonight's operation," the congressman continued. "If she can escape successfully, we will certainly congratulate her. If she is unfortunately caught, the longer the police spend on her, the less likely they will pay attention to the truly imminent events."

Kurosawa had never expected that the congressman in front of him would think about the problem from this perspective.

The congressman used Eriko as a tool to delay his opponent.

It's like bait in fishing.

When the fish swallowed the bait, thinking it would be full, it was unexpectedly caught and taken away from the ocean.

Make your opponent think they have won.

In fact, it is wasting their precious time.

"However, you can check the mastermind behind the Kyoto police." The congressman laughed, "Not for any other reason, but because I think this mastermind should be a very interesting person."

Kurosawa couldn't help but murmur in his heart as he listened to what the gentleman said.

He didn't find the whole thing funny.

"By the way, the Unity Alliance is holding a meeting at its headquarters tonight." Kurosawa continued to report, "They are studying the donation scandal involving Minister of General Affairs Terada."

"Kurosawa, this is the truly important thing." The gentleman's voice sounded, "What do you think the Unity Alliance will do this time? Will they cut off Terada or not? Human nature is really an interesting thing. In the face of interests, will they abandon their comrades of many years?"

Kurosawa always felt a little uneasy inside.

Although he talked about the Unity Alliance, he was still thinking about the Kyoto police in his heart. After all, this congressional secretary was an extremely smart person. He thought of a dangerous possibility and felt it necessary to remind the person in front of him.

"Mr. Congressman, we don't know who is behind the Kyoto police this time. What if this person joins forces with Terada of the United Alliance? Will it destroy our plan?"

The congressional secretary's inner thoughts were simple.

The Kyoto police, who see Eriko as a must-have, must have more far-reaching goals.

It is definitely not limited to solving a single case.

The problem is that if the forces behind the Kyoto police unite with the Terada forces of the Unity Alliance, it may be possible to break the current situation.

The gentleman remained seated. "I understand your concerns. However, the top priority now is the construction of Noah's Ark. The date of the Great Flood has been determined."

What?! Kurosawa was shocked when he heard the news.

Date of the Great Flood?! Confirmed?!

Doesn't that mean everything is imminent? !

Kurosawa also knew what a great flood meant.

It was an absolutely horrific disaster.

"If they want to investigate the case, let them do it," the gentleman said with a smile. "Let them play their self-righteous detective game. What I am concerned about now is the cabinet of our country."

"Any instructions for the next step?"

The gentleman picked up the "Elements of Geometry" beside him and flipped through it, as if looking for a proposition in it, and then began to calculate on a piece of white paper. He seemed to want to experience for himself how the sailors in the Age of Discovery determined the correct position of the ship in the vast ocean.

Then the gentleman finally spoke:

"Why not give our cabinet ministers a difficult problem?"

"Isn't Nippon Steel preparing to enter bankruptcy proceedings?"

On this night——

This congressman with a terrifying aura mentioned a bankruptcy case.

A bankruptcy case of a super-large steel company in Japan...
