Hearing that the new president of Toshima Construction announced that he would participate in the bidding for the Chuo Shinkansen, Shuichi Hayashi and Miki couldn't help but glance at each other. You can see that things are indeed going the way they expected. Toshima Construction regarded the Chuo Shinkansen project as its last straw.

……

When the press conference ended hastily in the midst of media questioning, Lin Xiuyi and his subordinates took the initiative to find the staff of Toshima Construction, and then revealed their identities, when the other party learned that Lin Xiuyi and others were here to investigate the case of the murder of Kogi Soto, Lin Xiuyi and others met the new president who spoke at the press conference just now, Hosokawa Kiyofumi.

After Lin Xiuyi and the three of them were brought into his office by Hosokawa's secretary Joto, a female member first served tea to everyone, and then Lin Xiuyi took out his business card from his pocket and handed it over.

"Is it your department that is investigating the murder of So-kun Kogi?"

"Hey, the reason why I'm here to bother you today is that I want to ask you some questions. Excuse me...... Did Mr. Kogiso always be in charge of the Najd high-speed rail project during his lifetime?"

"Hmm...... The previous built-in high-speed rail project is an important opportunity for us to open up the Arab world market. Therefore, the board of directors has given this task to Kogiso-kun, who has extensive experience in rail transit project management......"

"Oh...... If this is the case, in the crisis of the built-in high-speed rail project, isn't it the general manager Kogiso who is already responsible for the Najd high-speed rail project?"

"You say that...... What does that mean!"

"Here's the problem, Managing Director Kogiso, who was supposed to bear the greatest responsibility for the Najd high-speed rail project, was killed on a construction site in Qingchuan just before the high-speed rail incident was exposed. Do you think this is just a simple coincidence?"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's sudden question, Hosokawa Qingwen couldn't help but glance at him with some vigilance, then slowly lowered his head, and then asked with some caution:

"It's not a coincidence, what's that?"

"That's exactly what we want to know, by the way, President Hosokawa, the built-in high-speed rail project was unilaterally terminated by the Najd Royal Government, you ...... When did you find out? As the head of Toshima Construction, you don't know about it on TV, like me, do you?"

"Of course, we have a ...... Of course, we will know some information in advance, but in order to avoid greater losses to the construction of Toshima, we did not announce this news immediately!"

"Oh...... That means that before Kogi was killed, he had already reported to you about the crisis of the Najd high-speed rail project, right?"

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

……

Hearing Lin Xiuyi vigorously ask him about the time of the high-speed train in Kogi Zeng, Hosokawa Kiyofumi, who had been overwhelmed by the betrayal of the Central Bank of Tokyo, couldn't help but be a little impatient.

After a little silence in the conference room, Hosokawa Kiyofumi, who gradually calmed down, saw Lin Xiuyi's somewhat unpredictable eyes on the other side, and couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart. He forced himself to calm down, and then tried to apologize to Lin Xiuyi with a sincere face:

"I'm sorry, maybe I didn't have a rest last night, I was a little rude just now. Yes, Managing Director Kogi did report to me and the president himself about the political turmoil in the Najd Kingdom. However, neither I nor President Mikami took this matter to heart at the time. So I didn't notice what was going on between the Najd high-speed rail project and Crown Prince Waleed. It wasn't until the media reported on the situation that we were caught off guard by the sudden default. ”

Hearing President Hosokawa's apology, Lin Xiuyi just waved his hand and said disappreciatively:

"I guess Mr. Hosokawa, who has just taken over as president, must have a lot of things to do!

"Ah...... It's okay! As a colleague who has worked with Kogi So-kun for many years, I also want to see the murderer of Kogi So-kun brought to justice by the police as soon as possible! What happened just now is indeed that I was too rude, and please don't take it to heart!"

"Ah...... By the way, President Hosokawa, did Toshima Construction have any contact with the River Plate Fund before?"

"I think I've heard the name, and if I'm not mistaken, it's a vulture fund. In this regard, Toshima Construction has been financed through the Central Bank of Tokyo, and although it has issued some bonds and trusts, the main way to raise funds has been through bank loans. As for financial institutions like the River Plate Fund, it seems that Toshima Construction does not have any similar cooperation experience!"

"That means you don't know Robert Taki, the River Plate Foundation's representative for Asian affairs, either?"

"Uh...... I may have heard of this name before, but I don't know the gentleman you mentioned!"

Hosokawa Qingwen shook his head without hesitation, and then replied affirmatively to Lin Xiuyi.

……

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything if he stayed here, Lin Xiuyi and Miki glanced at each other, and then offered to take the initiative to leave, so Hosokawa Kiyofumi hurriedly got up to send him off. Just as everyone was about to leave Hosokawa Kiyofumi's office, Lin Xiuyi turned around again and suddenly asked President Hosokawa:

"Well, have you ever heard of the Flower Cage?"

"Huh?"

"It's an upscale club in Ginza. Before Kogiso's murder, it seems that he met there with Seiichi Mori of Takeshita Works, and Robert Taki, the Asian affairs representative of the River Plate Foundation, and do you know what they talked about there?"

"This ...... Ahh However, the Hanalongya area is said to be a good place to talk about business. I don't think Kogiso-kun went there on purpose!"

"Oh, I see! I'm sorry for the delay and delay, so we'll quit first, if you think about anything, please feel free to contact us!"
