Tokyo: Starting with taking on his wife's debts

Just a moment ago he was acting like a rascal, but then he suddenly changed, which was quite a contrast and took a while to adjust.

Is this his true nature? What do we have to talk about?

An undercover police officer? A spy for a hostile force? Or perhaps a fugitive who has taken on someone else's identity to live a normal life?

"You couldn't find my information, right?"

Ezaki suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Xiuming took the opportunity to grab a stack of A4 papers from the table, quickly flipped through a few pages, and found they were all loan agreements from debtors.

To Hideaki's surprise, there were several loan agreements between Matsuba Bank and its customers at the very bottom, suggesting that repayment was hopeless.

The total amount is approximately several hundred million, with an interest rate of 6%, which is within the normal range.

Those henchmen said last time that the debts they had were bought by Yoko from a small loan shark company for 500 million yen.

A bank loan agreement is not something that can be easily obtained.

In such an environment, more than half of them have become dead debts and non-performing loans. If you're not stupid, you wouldn't buy such bad debts.

Does she have the ability to help banks resolve their debts?

I suspect someone in his family is a high-ranking executive at a bank and is helping him cover his losses.

Contact Person: Esaki Sukeru. Position: Manager of Matsuba Bank Sapporo Branch.

From Hokkaido?

When the bubble economy collapsed, in addition to various insurance companies, banks were among the hardest hit.

After all, banks have no better investment options than investing in the stock market and real estate.

And when the economy is booming, senior executives in banks who are in charge of investment direction will see such huge returns and will definitely not be able to resist taking their own money and investing in the stock market and real estate market in line with the general trend.

Then, the stocks and real estate they invested in when prices were high became inflated, leading to investment failures and bank employees burdened with multiple debts. Taking advantage of their positions, they embezzled customers' fixed deposits in the bank.

Some even directly misappropriate customers' fixed deposits for short-term investments to earn extra money. If they are lucky, they can make up for it in time; if they are unlucky, they have to scrape together the money before they are exposed.

Every bank has people like this.

For those who couldn't make up the difference, they simply stole a large sum of money, absconded with the funds, and vanished without a trace.

Of course, if they couldn't escape, couldn't get any money, and still had some sense of shame, they would jump off a building, thus ending their debts and freeing themselves from further burdens.

"What are you doing!"

Ezaki Hideaki, who had been staring intently at the loan agreement with the bank, suddenly snapped out of his daze.

This was just brought back from Hokkaido by Kitaro. He hadn't had a chance to check it yet, so he simply covered it up with the other contracts.

She snatched the documents back from Xiuming's hand, glaring at him with an unfriendly expression. "Mr. Yamanaka, don't you think this is very rude? These are our trade secrets."

The second piece of information has changed: [Sometime within the next 12 hours, Yoko Ezaki will consider lending you 60 shares of Matsuba Bank stock.]

Is Ezaki Kairyu her father?

I've got something on her: Ms. Ezaki, you don't want your father to be sent to prison, do you?

Two days ago, the financial channel showed that Matsuba Bank's stock price was 471 yen. She had 60 shares, which was worth 2.8 million yen.

That's quite a lot. If we get these shares, it's not impossible to short Matsuba Bank on the same day.

For example, if her father's actions were exposed to major news media, the branch manager would have committed such a major scandal, and the stock price of Matsuba Bank would definitely plummet.

Unfortunately, I don't have the deposit on hand yet, so I need Ayako's property as collateral.

Moreover, if she did that, and her father jumped off the building, the hatred for her father's murder would fall on her shoulders.

“It’s only a few hundred million yen,” Hideaki clapped his hands casually. “I have great respect for Mr. Kairyu. He must have his own reasons. You can’t help him plug the hole like this in a short time!”

Do you have any good ideas?

Ezaki's raised eyebrows twitched slightly, and he took the document he was about to lock in the safe out again, holding it in his hand.

Now that he's seen us, there's no need to hide anymore. If he dares to use this threat, lock him in a secret room and make him disappear from the face of the earth.

Are you interested in short selling individual stocks?

When you are bearish on a particular stock, such as Matsuba Bank, where Ezaki is located.

Borrow the 60 shares she has, sell them immediately, then expose her father's criminal activities. The stock price will plummet. Then buy them back and return them to her. You'll make as much profit as the stock price has dropped.

Of course, according to the rules, she also has to pay interest and loan fees.

Do you want to die?!

Ezaki blushed on the spot.

After all, seeing her father's scandal and immediately having the idea of ​​shorting the stock makes it hard not to suspect that it's aimed at her.

The third piece of intelligence has changed: [Sometime within the next 12 hours, Yoko Ezaki will consider the feasibility of placing you under house arrest.]

Chapter 67 You Shouldn't Have Investigated Me

"Is there a problem?" Hideaki feigned ignorance and asked in surprise. "Although the Nikkei index has seen a slight increase recently, it will drop sharply after May. June 1st will be my entry point. For example, Sony and Toyota. Perhaps I can plug the money hole caused by your father on that day. That's my plan."

Ezaki's sudden behavior was clearly overly sensitive, almost to the point of losing her mind. It's estimated that things are already very difficult for her father, and by June, it will probably be too late.

Great.

"What did you do before?" Jiang Qi's expression changed several times.

Her father, Jie Long, is indeed in a difficult situation. The prosecutor from the investigation department has visited him many times, but he has been deceived each time. However, if the hole caused by the unauthorized transfer cannot be plugged as soon as possible, it will be exposed sooner or later.

Xiuming's point about the timing of shorting stocks was indeed correct. In fact, the bank had held several internal seminars and unanimously agreed that the current slight upward trend in the stock market would not last long. In addition, there was the complex international situation, with countless foreign capitalists eyeing the Nikkei stock index. It was clearly a piece of fat meat that everyone could take a bite out of, whether domestically or internationally.

But it won't be delayed until next month; at most, it will be ten days before her father is arrested. Perhaps to avoid significant fluctuations in the stock price, she will not disclose the details.

What exactly is his identity?

Ezaki asked himself the same question again.

“Business manager of the sales department at Ichiwa Securities, my 500 million yen loan is still in your hands!” Hideaki said, spreading his hands. “Didn’t you check it?”

Hideaki originally thought that Ezaki would be sensible and play dumb to cooperate.

I didn't expect her to finally come out, perhaps because she saw her father's scandal and didn't want it to be exposed!

“You are not Hideaki Yamanaka at all. I have a physical examination report from his middle school years. If you are not willing to compare the reports, then I have reason to suspect that you killed him and coerced his wife.”

"It's alright. I have dirt on your father. You wouldn't want him to be disgraced and commit suicide, would you?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll imprison you?" Jiang Qi's face darkened.

She might be considering the feasibility of house arrest right now.

If she were locked up and no one came to rescue her, she would remain locked up indefinitely.

"You are threatening a murderer."

Xiuming shifted his sitting position silently to ensure he could quickly subdue her should she make any unusual movements.

Ezaki's pupils contracted, then he calmed down: "You are threatening a high-ranking member of a yakuza group."

As she spoke, her right hand slowly reached under the seat.

Could it be a gun?

Xiuming's heart skipped a beat. Just as her right hand touched her thigh under her pencil skirt, he pounced on her, his right and left hands striking at the same time, grabbing her neck and the right hand reaching under the seat respectively.

Ezaki leaned back, dodging the hand that grabbed his neck, and slid down into the seat, raising his left knee to strike Hideaki's head.

As she slid off the seat, Xiuming had already changed his attack path, grabbing her knees with both arms and sitting down on the seat. Using his waist and abdomen, he swung her up, her back sliding against the surface of the small wooden table in the middle. With a "whoosh," the drinks and red wine on the table were swept under the seat.

With a dull thud, her head slammed against the back of the passenger seat. The foam backrest meant the impact wasn't severe, but at the same moment, a small, pure black handgun slipped from her grasp and landed on the table. Her eyes widened, as if she was about to reach for the gun.

Xiuming stiffened, freeing his right hand while continuing to hold her leg with his left, swinging her body as he reached for the pistol.

The two grabbed the pistols at the same time; Hideaki grabbed the barrel, and Ezaki grabbed the handle.

boom!

Although the gunshot wasn't loud, it was like a firecracker inside the enclosed car, making our ears ring.

Behind Xiuming, a small hole appeared on the back of the brown leather seat.

Xiuming roughly twisted the pistol outwards.

Ezaki, who seemed to be in a daze, suddenly twisted his face and gasped.

Snapped! ! !

"Bastard!" A loud slap rang out as Xiuming roared, almost using all his strength.

Jiang Qi rolled his eyes, blood spurted from his nose, and his jaw was dislocated with a "crack." A clear red handprint swelled up on his face instantly, and he passed out on the spot without even making a sound.

Xiuming quickly checked the pistol; there were still two bullets left. He then climbed into the driver's seat.

Outside the passenger door, Kitaro's expression changed drastically. Just as he reached for the door, Hideaki quickly locked it.

The driver, who arrived late, was also locked outside.

Kitaro pounded on the bulletproof glass: "You bastard, what are you doing?! Open the door!"

The driver was also smashing the driver's side window, but he didn't shout.

On the driver's right-hand side, by the rear door, Eri was holding her chin with both hands and staring wide-eyed.

Xiuming opened the passenger-side window a crack, just wide enough for a finger.

"Keep an eye on the supermarket. If anything goes wrong, I'll beat up your sister."

After Xiuming finished speaking, he turned the car key that hadn't been removed, and the car slowly started.

Kitaro pounded on the car window, yelling, "Where are you going? Where are you going? Something's happened to my sister! I'm going to smash up your supermarket! I'm calling the police!"

Xiuming took out a small, pure black pistol and pointed it at him with the muzzle.

His face stiffened, and he remained motionless.

"It's just a small misunderstanding, I won't do anything to her. I'll call you tonight to let you know I'm safe. Keep an eye on the supermarket, or I'll beat up your sister."

Hideaki drove around the streets more than a dozen times, shaking off the following vehicles, and finally drove into the underground parking garage of Ayako's mansion.

The intelligence information about Ezaki has changed.
