Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 477 Undercurrent
At night, when Miyagawa and Kitahara were discussing Mikiko's plagiarism case outside the Liston Hotel—

Kyoto, Nakakyo Ward, Police Headquarters.

In the minister's office, there were piles of files piled up one after another, as if the rolling hills were about to flood the entire room.From time to time, some police officers would knock on the door and enter, and they would cough a few times after being provoked by the somewhat pungent dusty smell of the files inside.

The yellow desk lamp light on the countertop seemed to flicker like a chandelier in the gas age.A figure sat behind the desk, and white smoke floated from it. The smell of cigarettes made the air in the room even more turbid.

The head of the department, Nishino, pressed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray next to him and extinguished it. The brows on his face were furrowed more and more, with an expression of displeasure.The dossiers on the table are the materials of the huge money laundering case of the Nakamoto ship.It's been a while and still nothing.

The day of the investigation deadline is also getting closer.

A criminal case cannot be investigated endlessly.

If the investigation period is all used up, the compulsory measures against the suspect must be lifted.

No need to think about it, the gang of criminals who are currently locked up in the detention center will destroy more evidence as soon as they come out, so as to hinder the investigation.

The scars on Nishino's face looked even more creepy under the dim light.

The extraordinarily large money laundering case of the Nakamoto ship was the culprit that involved Kitahara in the whirlpool in Kyoto this time.And it was Eto who happened to have served as a legal adviser for Nakamoto Shipbuilding.

The expression on Nishino's face became more serious, and he immediately opened the drawer.

As the minister, there is a reason why he paid attention to such a money laundering case.

There was only a yellowed photo in the drawer.Above is a photo of a man in his thirties with Nishino. In the photo, he is on a green training ground, and the cross-country climbing facilities next to him reflect the noon sun, which is a bit dazzling.The man's smile is very bright, hearty, and clean, as if it can bring endless vigor and energy to those around him.He stretched out his hand, hooked Nishino's shoulder, and laughed heartily, revealing the sincere smile of an old friend.

This is a photo from ten years ago.

Nishino has always been a rough man, but this photo alone is the best preserved.

The man who took a photo with Nishino is called Tanimoto Kenji.He was a police officer who was registered at the same time as Nishino, and a comrade-in-arms who had a close friendship.Back then, they fought side by side and went through life and death. In the arrest of a case of illegal production of compulsory ammunition, Tanimoto even blocked a shot for Nishino and saved Nishino's life.

Tanimoto can be said to be extremely serious and responsible for his work, and has always been a model police officer.Later, Tanimoto was promoted to Director of the Search Section.Afterwards, Tanimoto saw that the police officers had to bear the most tiring duties, but they suffered all kinds of unfair treatment in the public service system, so he resigned from the police job, stepped into the political circle, and ran for parliamentarians. Guarantee to speak out and call on the police to have the right to rest and avoid overwork.

Although the identity has changed a lot from a policeman to a member of parliament, Nishino has always admired Tanimoto.Tanimoto has a high reputation in the Kyoto police circle.It can be said that his transformation went smoothly.

Originally, things seemed to be going well here.

However, it was precisely 11 years ago that Tanimoto was suddenly exposed by a weekly tabloid for money laundering.

Although Tanimoto insisted that the bank accounts involved had nothing to do with him, the pressure of public opinion was surging.His status as a former policeman and a current member of parliament has brought him tremendous mental pressure.The bombardment of news from the media is going on every day, and reporters are constantly squatting at his residence to capture interview opportunities.Under the pressure of such public opinion, one morning later, Tanimoto hanged himself...

And Tanimoto's only daughter, a high school student, was shot dead on the street.

At that time, Nishino couldn't believe that his savior, his closest brother, had left like this, and his daughter was shot dead in revenge.At that time, it can be said that he started the investigation of these two cases in private at the same time, one was the money laundering case about Tanimoto, and the other was about the shooting of his daughter.

However, these two cases have become unsolved cases.

I won’t talk about Tanimoto’s money laundering case.Although all the evidence on file pointed to this former comrade in arms, Nishino felt a kind of disobedience.That is, the evidence in the entire dossier is too complete and complete, so that it has reached an unnatural level.Although the case has been terminated because Tanimoto hanged himself.But Nishino still secretly asked for the files of the whole case and continued to investigate secretly.

The shooting of his daughter was even more bizarre.No matter what kind of ballistic recovery technology is used on the scene, it can't simulate the location of the shooter in the end.And the deadly bullet that penetrated his daughter's body is also missing.

It can be said that Tanimoto's case became Nishino's heart knot.

A brother who once risked his life to save his own life ended up in such a futile end.

Nishino does not believe that Tanimoto will launder money, someone must be framing him.

The reason why he paid attention to the money laundering case of the Nakamoto ship was because more than ten years later, a sum of money was actually transferred to the account that Tanimoto was suspected of money laundering back then.After tracing the transfer layer by layer, it turned out that it came from the Nakamoto ship money laundering case.When the smugglers of the Nakamoto ship laundered money, they actually used an account that had been silent for more than ten years and was currently involved in the money laundering case of the Tanimoto police officer.

This is too abnormal.

There must be a secret here.

Therefore, Nishino desperately kept tracking the money laundering case of the Nakamoto ship, even if he used all means, he had to get the real criminal out.This criminal definitely knew the truth about Tanimoto's money laundering case.

And now, the opportunity seems to have come.

Although the case has not progressed, Nishino has received a tip that Eto, the former legal adviser of Nakamoto Ship, is still in Kyoto.Nishino immediately assigned plainclothes to search in Kyoto day and night. As long as Jiang Teng was found, he would be taken into criminal detention on the spot.At this point in time, to dare to stay in Kyoto is simply a provocation to the Kansai Police Force.

Immediately, Nishino also dispatched more people to conduct technical monitoring and follow-up surveillance on that Beiyuan.

He believed that as long as he firmly grasped this Beiyuan, he would be able to catch Eto's whereabouts.

Now, with the deepening of the investigation, Nishino also discovered an "interesting" thing.That is the company that has business dealings with the Nakamoto Ship's money laundering.After continuous layer-by-layer tracking and passing through the maze-like equity structure, the financial crime investigation department has sorted out a thick list of companies involved in the case.

Right now, the list is on the table.

A large number of companies that indirectly assist the Nakamoto ship in money laundering have been listed in this booklet.

Nishino's eyes narrowed slightly. When he saw the list in this booklet for the first time, as an experienced policeman, he was also surprised.He really didn't expect the list to look like this.The reason why the minister was astonished was simple.Because, there are many companies in this booklet, and they are all——

The production and research enterprise of Kyoto University...
