Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 814 Awakening

"Next, it's about Eriko." Kitahara said in the cabin, "Where does the Kyoto police plan to detain Eriko?"

"The Third Detention Center," Nishino replied. "That's where serious criminals are kept, and the security is very complete. You need to go through at least five levels of inspection to get in. We're not bragging, but the guards at the Third Detention Center can keep even a fly out!"

Nishino was, of course, full of confidence about this place of detention.

He couldn't think of what could be wrong with this.

"Although the detention center is part of the police system, it should be independent of your police." Kitahara said, "After all, in order to prevent the investigating police from abusing their power, the police in the detention center are not directly under the command of your Kyoto police, but are relatively vertically managed to ensure that the police officers in the detention center are not interfered with."

"What do you mean?" Xi Ye asked, "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the police in the prison? How could that be possible?"

Kitahara sneered, "Captain Nishino, don't think too highly of your colleagues. The police in the prison are exactly where problems are most likely to occur. The reason behind this is very simple. Normally, no one can enter the prison, and there is no one to control the police inside."

"Like Chief Nishino, when you're out there handling cases, you at least consider the feelings of the parties involved and know that some things can't be done too extreme. But in a prison, once the door is closed, no one knows what's going on inside. They can do whatever they want, and they're even more unscrupulous, with no one to stop them."

Nishino listened to Kitahara's words and couldn't help but say:

"Mr. Kitahara, you really don't trust anyone. But isn't this too much of an exaggeration? It's impossible that the police at the detention center were bribed and poisoned Eriko. I don't believe such a ridiculous thing would happen no matter what."

"It doesn't have to be that extreme." Kitahara replied, "For example, if they install a bug in the interrogation room. Then, the content of our questioning of Eriko and the intelligence we obtain will all be leaked. How should we deal with this possibility..."

Nishino originally thought that Kitahara was particularly worrying.

However, as he kept talking, I actually started to worry.

"Besides, you see..." Kitahara took out his cell phone, "Now the news has spread. When we took action, Eriko was talking to the Asahi Shimbun. She had already exposed a huge scandal to the largest news agency in the East."

"It's a donation scandal involving Terada, the current cabinet's Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications," Kitahara said.

The Cabinet!!! Nishino's jaw almost dropped.

The whole incident was becoming increasingly bizarre.

It even involves the current cabinet.

That is the pinnacle of power in the East!

Nishino couldn't help but gasp. What kind of case was he facing? He was determined to track down Eto at all costs because of the collision on the Shinkansen. A business card on Eto's car pointed to this Eriko. He didn't expect that this woman would be involved in something related to the cabinet.

To know--

Once a case involves these things, it will become unprecedentedly complicated.

Nishino has encountered interference in his police career.

He once investigated a case involving money laundering.

The City Hall came forward specifically to explain the situation for the companies involved.

I hope the police will show mercy and let him go.

It is said that there are several big names investing behind the company involved in the case.

So, once these things are involved, the case becomes very complicated.

What's more, the cabinet's Minister of General Affairs Terada is now involved.

Even if you use your toes to imagine, you can know how fierce the struggle will be. Nishino is not a person who cares about politics, but even he knows how crucial the parliamentary election next April is.

If this matter really involves the Cabinet's Minister of General Affairs Terada, one can imagine how many forces and how many people will be eyeing Eriko.

Now Jiang Lizi has become a piece of fat meat.

If you can control her and make her bite anyone she wants, it will become an invincible weapon.

Hot potato.

This is really a hot potato!!

"How is it, Chief Nishino?" Kitahara said with a smile, "Are you feeling the pressure now?"

"You little bastard! If it weren't for you, would I have gotten involved in this mess?!" Nishino couldn't help but yell. The police chief was indeed beginning to feel the pressure. Now that this matter has become so huge, there is no turning back. Especially since he led his men to kidnap Eriko from the Tokyo police tonight, let alone.

Nishino raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him.

As I followed him, I seemed to be drawn into increasingly bizarre events.

"Now..." Kitahara said, "We have no way out. The only way to survive is to win, and win continuously."

"But..." Nishino smiled helplessly, "Now I understand why you want me to take such a big risk and install GPS positioning devices on the vehicles of congressional secretaries as much as possible. If Eriko can be involved in the Minister of General Affairs of the Cabinet, then it is not surprising that fingerprints of congressional bodyguards can be found on Eto's vehicle. The two are really connected."

The helicopter was getting closer and closer to the ground.

Gradually the leaves on the trees could be seen clearly.

The cabin door opens.

The group quickly boarded the police transport vehicle that had been prepared in advance.

Under the lights in the car, Kitahara's mind was flooded with memories of his time in Tokyo. From the bidding fraud case at Shinjuku City Hall, to the regulatory battle at the Tokyo Central Bank, to tonight's thrilling night. What else is waiting for him next?

Kitahara looked back at Eriko who was still unconscious.

Now, the breakthrough is at hand.

Under the cover of night, the police car sped towards Kyoto.

……

……

Just as Kitahara and his group were heading to Kyoto—

Late at night, in Room 7, 301th floor, inpatient department, Kyoto Third General Hospital. On a bed, the blood oxygen monitor made a "beep" sound from time to time, and the electrocardiogram next to it was fluctuating rhythmically. The infusion tube next to it was dripping with saline and medicine.

The person on the bed seemed to have been unconscious for a long, long time, trapped in a nightmare from which he would never wake up. Suddenly, the eyelashes on the pale face moved, and then, an incredible scene happened, the eyes that had been closed opened. Marina Niwa, the female reporter who had reported on the Kawamoto Kokusho case and who was unfortunately followed and hit on the head with a stick in Kyoto and fell into a coma, woke up that night...
