Chapter 34: Explosive Crisis

"Jingle jingle bell!"

"Moses Moses?"

"Is that Mr. Toyozuna from the Sankei Shimbun Tokyo Headquarters?"

"Hey!"

"I'm Nakamura from the Sankei Shimbun station in Najd Kingdom, and I just got a great piece of news."

"Huh?"

"The high-speed rail project connecting the capital and the holy city of Najd Kingdom, which was won by the domestic construction giant Toshima Construction, seems to have involved the royal family of the Najd Kingdom, and it is said that the Najd Kingdom has decided to unilaterally terminate this project?"

"Nani, is the source of the news reliable?"

"Hey, it's an insider close to the royal family who leaked the news, it seems that because in the planning process of the high-speed rail line, the construction of Toshima colluded with the former crown prince Waleed, and changed the location of several important stations without authorization, so that the Najd government spent a lot of money to buy high-priced land from Prince Waleed. It is said that the king himself was very angry about this and decided to immediately terminate the cooperation with the Japanese government on the high-speed rail project......"

……

When Taiichi Toyozuna, a senior editor at Sankei Shimbun's Tokyo headquarters, put down the phone in his hand, he immediately realized the weight of the news that Nakamura had passed on. However, just in case, Toyozuna still called the editor-in-chief as soon as possible.

"Ah...... Moses Moses?"

"I'm really sorry, editor-in-chief, but I just received a call from my colleague from the Riyadh Reporter Station, Jun Nakamura, who told me on the phone that the Kingdom of Najd intends to unilaterally cancel the high-speed rail plan that it had signed with Toshima Construction to connect the capital with the Holy City...... Editor-in-chief, should we revise tomorrow's front-page news?"

"Ah...... They seem to have made a heavy bet on the high-speed rail project in the Kingdom of Najd! It is said that the loan from the Central Bank of Tokyo, the main bank, alone is as high as $50 billion......

"Hey, before Toshima Construction in order to win the Najd Kingdom's high-speed rail project, at the expense of most of the investment risk of the project, this project was originally half sold and half sent, but I didn't expect the political situation in the Najd Kingdom to suddenly have turmoil, once the project is canceled, Toshima Construction will be in a situation where it will not be able to recover because of huge debts, this construction giant that has been operating for 200 years, is likely to be on ......the verge of bankruptcy."

After explaining in detail to the editor-in-chief on the phone the difficulties that Toshima Construction would face once the project was cancelled and the impact of this incident on Japan's construction contracting industry, the editor-in-chief finally made up his mind and agreed to Toyotsuna's request to revise the front-page news tomorrow.

……

"Good morning!

"Ah...... Good morning, Matsuda-senpai!"

Seeing that Section Chief Matsuda next door had come to the territory of the Special Search Department again as before, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up and greeted the other party.

"Huh...... Are you reading the newspaper?

"Oh...... No, the victim of the case we took over yesterday happened to be the general manager of Toshima Construction, and we were going to visit us today to see if we could ask anything useful. Just before getting on the bus, I suddenly saw that the newspaper mentioned the construction of Toshima, so I simply bought a newspaper and came back to find out......"

Lin Xiuyi said, while putting the newspaper aside, Lin Xiuyi aroused his curiosity Matsuda couldn't help but pick up the newspaper, sat on the seat next to him and read it carefully, a few minutes later, when Matsuda finished reading the front page report in the newspaper, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional and said:

"It's unthinkable that a giant company like Toshima Construction will be on the verge of bankruptcy one day......"

"Does Mr. Matsuda know anything about this club?"

"Well, people of our age have some impressions of the bubble era, and I remember that Tokyo was a big construction site at that time, and I would often see the construction of Toshima Construction, alas...... It was a crazy time!"

……

When Lin Xiuyi got the preliminary autopsy report of the victim Xiaomu Zeng Zhibi from the hands of the forensic class, he focused on the time of the deceased's death. According to the forensic speculation, the time of the murder of the deceased should have been eight hours before the body was found. In other words, the deceased Kogi was killed in the early hours of the morning. At that time, why did Kogi Zeng Naobi die at the construction site in Taya District? Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.

"Urashima-kun, today we are going to the headquarters of Toshima Construction to investigate and collect evidence!"

"Hey, as soon as I received your instructions yesterday, I took someone to Toshima Construction and sealed the deceased's office. In addition, I also made an appointment with Kenji Hashiwa, the secretary of Naobu Kogi, to meet today......"

"Okay then, let's go visit each other now and see if we can figure out why Naobu Kogiso showed up at the construction site of Aokawa Construction in the early hours of the morning......

……

After everyone put on their coats, they went to the underground parking lot to pick up their vehicles, and then headed for the headquarters of Toshima Construction Co., Ltd. in Chiyoda-ku. After Lin Xiuyi and the others parked their cars, they came to the lobby on the first floor of the Toshima Construction Headquarters Building and explained their intention to the reception staff here.

"It's a guest who made an appointment with Mr. Lianlun yesterday, so please come in with me! Mr. Lianlun still has some things to deal with, and you may have to wait a while!"

After the reception staff at the front desk took Lin Xiu to the floor where the lotus wheel was, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Lin Xiuyi was immediately attracted by the noisy scene in the office.

"Is Toshima Construction usually so busy?"

"The ......"

"Huh...... Isn't that Mr. Hashira?"

The sharp-eyed Pu Dao saw a middle-aged cadre with a group of people behind him hurriedly running through the passage in front of him, and immediately reminded Lin Xiuyi. As soon as Lin Xiu saw that the other party didn't seem to notice his side, he said to the lady who brought them in:

"I'm sorry...... Do you know where Mr. Hashiwa is going?"

"That...... I'd better ask for you first!"

As soon as the lady finished speaking, she ran into the office and stopped a colleague to ask a few questions, and then rushed back to salute Lin Xiuyi and Urashima, and then explained to Lin Xiuyi and the others with some hesitation.

"That...... I'm really sorry, but there are some things to deal with on the club's side, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for Mr. Renren to find time to receive the two of you. Or ......"

"Ah...... It's okay, we just want to have a chat with Renlun, and by the way, learn some information about the murdered general manager of Kogisang, so can we go over and see the situation?"

"Huh...... Mr...... Sir!"

Seeing Lin Xiuyi walking in the direction where Kenji Hakuren had left, the female employee in charge of the reception also hurriedly followed.
