Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 827 Discovery

Niwa ignored the warning to rest and just rummaged through Kitahara's briefcase, took out the laptop inside and placed it on the bed. She quickly flipped up the laptop screen and pressed the power button. She couldn't wait to confirm whether her previous work data was intact.

"I have to enter the password to start the computer," Kitahara interrupted.

Niwa was stunned for a moment, and found that he was indeed a little too anxious. She slightly turned her body to let Kitahara type on the keyboard. As soon as she finished typing, the female reporter anxiously entered the operation interface of the computer desktop and then opened the website of the network disk. Although she had been in a coma for several months, she still logged into the website skillfully.

"That Westerner should just be bluffing," Niwa said. "My work network disk is from Crowdstrike, a world-renowned computer security company. Its network disks are top-notch in terms of confidentiality and crack-proofing. It's unlikely to be cracked."

Kitahara stared at the screen.

He also hopes that Niwa's data will not be deleted.

Maybe, through the data that the Westerner wants to track down, we can find out what the organization behind him is trying to cover up.

As you log in.

The web page flickers.

The first thing that pops up is personal identity verification.

You also need to verify the identity of the person logging in through your email.

I really want to complete these verification procedures quickly.

The more anxious I feel.

It seems that the more these details interfere.

The web page loading sign keeps appearing.

After nearly a minute, the online disk finally finished loading.

The data on the network disk emerged——

Blank.

A complete blank.

There isn't even an online folder.

Not even a word document.

There is no information at all.

Clean and tidy.

It's like it has never been used by anyone.

In the upper right corner of the page, the percentage of space occupied by the network disk is displayed.

The numbers above show exactly—

zero.

Niwa couldn't help but open her mouth slightly when she saw this scene. She couldn't believe that what the fierce Westerner said was true. All the data in the network disk had been completely deleted, leaving nothing behind.

When exactly was it? How could this be done?!

"You just said that the Crowdstrike company's network disk is the most secure network disk in the world?" Kitahara said.

Niwa nodded, "Yes."

At this time, Kitahara turned and looked at Misumi.

The report that Sancheng uploaded to the forensic database also disappeared.

Possess the ability to break into forensic databases and the world's top computer security companies.

There are not many coincidences in the world.

Kitahara becomes more and more convinced that Niwa and Misumi are encountering members of the same organization.

As a result, the potential dangers that Sancheng might face far exceeded previous imagination.

"If it's really the world's top computer security company, the data on the network disk should be backed up." Kitahara said, "Give me the computer."

Afterwards, Kitahara started searching on this website to see if there were any data recovery functions for Niwa's account.

Kitahara discovered that the account Niwa was using was already at the highest level.

Logically speaking, there should be a function to restore the backup.

Soon, such a function was finally found in a hidden corner.

It's called "rolling back the data."

However, this function can only go back to the data of the previous month.

Niwa was attacked several months ago. "Why don't you try this?" Kitahara said, "I've seen other backup and recovery functions, but if you delete them again, you can't recover them. This function called 'roll back data' is the only one that can't be deleted. Although it can only go back to one month ago, let's try it."

"They probably did it before they knocked me out," Niwa said.

But having said that, Niwa still followed Kitahara's advice and pressed the button.

The world is so wonderful sometimes.

When you feel full of hope, fate always has to give you a heavy blow.

However, when you give up hope, you may get a surprise.

As the saying goes, there is always a silver lining.

The page flickered again.

In an instant, densely packed files appeared and gradually began to fill the entire network disk.

Storage footprint continues to grow larger.

The entire interface keeps popping up like mushrooms after rain.

Niwa couldn't believe what he saw. "They deleted the data recently?! They deleted it less than a month ago?!"

Beiyuan looked at the result and fell into deep thought.

The unexpected thing happening before me was somewhat beyond my expectations.

It was deleted nearly a month ago.

There are two possibilities for this to happen.

Or maybe it was only recently that they broke into Crowdstrike's network disk.

Or maybe there was something more important in the file Niwa had saved before, so much so that they thought they could just kill the person, but now they had to destroy the data.

Niwa quickly retrieved the documents related to the use of funds by research and development companies.

This is the result of Niwa's hard work in Kyoto over the past few months.

There are hundreds of documents in it.

It collects the production projects of various industrial and research companies, field survey conditions, on-site photos, public information from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and Kyoto University, and a comparison table between public information and actual conditions.

It is truly amazing that a journalist can be so meticulous.

Niwa kept scrolling the window quickly.

There is a lot of information here.

To the extent that Niwa couldn't even be sure which piece of information from the research and development company had targeted him.

Kitahara was also standing nearby, scanning the documents.

He remembered the envelope Mikiko had given him before. The envelope mentioned that the research and development company was involved in money laundering and smuggling. This was a huge scandal. Could it be that the extremist organization wanted to cover up these things? Or was there another plot?

Suddenly, Kitahara saw a word on the screen.

But the file just slid past.

"Niwa!" Kitahara suddenly said loudly, "Pull it up! I think I saw a document, pull it up quickly!!"

Hearing Kitahara's somewhat anxious voice, Niwa immediately rolled down the window.

"Wait! Don't move! It's here!" Kitahara shouted again.

Niwa immediately stopped what he was doing.

She immediately scanned the titles of dozens of documents in the window. She was the one who organized all these documents, so she was naturally very familiar with them. However, she looked over them but did not find anything unusual.

"What happened?" Niwa asked.

"Take a look at this file." Kitahara pointed at the screen.

The title of that document is exactly——

"Use of Funds by Nippon Steel and Industrial Research Enterprises".

"I want to ask you, Niwa." Kitahara said, "Is the 'Nippon Steel' you are talking about the Shinichi Steel Manufacturing Co., Ltd. that is on the verge of bankruptcy recently?"
