"In order to share the existing Tokai-West Main Line, which is becoming increasingly busy, and to better facilitate the flow of people between Tokyo and Osaka. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has preliminarily approved the plan submitted by JR East Co., Ltd. for the construction of the Chuo Shinkansen, a high-speed maglev train line connecting Tokyo and Osaka, with the entire project costing approximately 10.3 trillion yen excluding vehicles, and the necessary funds will be provided entirely by JR East. It is estimated that the direct economic benefits of the project will be as high as 16.7 trillion yen after completion......"

When the current Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism unveiled the Chuo Shinkansen at a press conference, there was an immediate uproar among the reporters in the audience. You know, the country's infrastructure is quite complete, and it has not been a long time since there has been such a large investment.

"If all goes well, when is the project expected to be completed?"

"This ...... The initial estimate is 2050......"

"The population of the country is gradually decreasing, but will it be possible to guarantee that the Chuo Shinkansen will have enough attendance by then?"

THE MINISTRY OF LAND, INFRASTRUCTURE, TRANSPORT AND TOURISM HAS CONDUCTED A FULL DEMONSTRATION ON THIS POINT, AND MAGLEV TECHNOLOGY IS A LANDMARK TECHNOLOGY THAT REPRESENTS THE FUTURE OF JAPAN IN THE RAIL TRANSIT INDUSTRY, WITH A DESIGN SPEED OF UP TO 5000KM/H, ONCE THE CHUO SHINKANSEN IS COMPLETED, THE ORIGINAL TWO HOURS FROM TOKYO TO OSAKA WILL BE COMPRESSED TO ONE HOUR, WHICH WILL GREATLY PROMOTE THE FLOW OF TALENT BETWEEN TOKYO, NAGOYA AND OSAKA, AND DRIVE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LARGE NUMBER OF RELATED INDUSTRIES AND TOURISM.

……

"The police department, the police department?"

Lin Xiuyi sat in the coffee shop and silently watched this scene broadcast on the TV, and when Miki Naodao asked him, he came back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, I just saw the news on TV and thought of something. ”

"The police department, we have visited a lot of people who are familiar with Kogi Zeng Naobi in the past few days. According to the descriptions of these people, Xiao Mu Zeng Naobi's popularity seems to be good, and I haven't heard of him having a grudge against anyone. You see, can we consider the possibility of love killing in the next step?"

"It's not impossible to kill you! It's just that I have some new ideas!"

"Oh?"

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has just announced JR East's plan to build a Chuo Shinkansen line based on maglev technology. In fact, at a party before Naobu Kogi was killed, I had heard a little bit of wind from a friend who worked in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism......"

"Chuo Shinkansen? I really didn't pay attention to it just now?"

Miki hurriedly turned her head to look at the TV, at this time the program on the TV had become another news, Miki could only shake her head helplessly, and then continued to learn new information from Lin Xiuyi with some shame.

"I just saw that the cost of the entire project was mentioned on TV, and the budget for not counting vehicles is about 10.3 trillion yen. Previously, Toshima Construction's loss on the Najd Kingdom high-speed rail project was 5.5 trillion yen. If Toshima Construction had known about this plan between the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and JR East, what do you think they would have done?"

"They will definitely grasp this life-saving straw, because this is the last chance for Toshima Construction to come back to life!"

Urashima said to Lin Xiuyi without hesitation.

"Yes, that's it!"

Lin Xiu took a sip of his coffee cup, then glanced at Miki and Urashima respectively, waiting for the two to continue to express their opinions on his hypothesis.

"Police Department, I remember that Naobu Kogiso was the person in charge of the high-speed rail project in the Kingdom of Najd within Toshima Construction before! If Toshima Construction really intends to rely on the opportunity of the Chuo Shinkansen to fight back, then Naobu Kogiso is definitely an indispensable talent in the construction of Toshima, after all, no one in China has been in charge of such a large-scale project for many years. Although the high-speed rail project in the Kingdom of Najd has stalled due to political factors, there is no doubt that Naobu Kogiso is one of the few experts in Japan who can preside over the management of such a large-scale high-speed railway project. ”

Miki thought about it for a moment, and then she thought about the importance of Naobu Kogiso to the construction of Toshima. And Urashima was inspired by Miki and soon had his own opinions.

In that case, the importance of Naobu Kogiso is that it can be used as an important bargaining chip for the construction of Toshima to win the Chuo Shinkansen project. The overall budget for the entire Chuo Shinkansen is 10.3 trillion yen. In addition to Toshima Construction, the other four large construction contractors will definitely not give up this lucrative project. No matter who wins, as long as he wins the contracting rights of the Chuo Shinkansen project, he will be able to dominate the construction engineering contracting industry in China and even in the world for decades in the next few years......!

"So it's not incomprehensible to be able to do such a thing as murder!"

Lin Xiu nodded, feeling that his speculation was still very likely to match the murderer's motive for killing. But if Seiichi Mori, the managing director of Takeshita Works, wasn't lying, there was another key figure who went to Hanatoraya that night to meet him: Robert Taki, the River Plate Fund's representative for Asian affairs. What role did he play in the whole incident?

"Police, if that's the case, isn't Seiichi Mori of Takeshita Public Works very suspicious?"

Pu Dao hurriedly asked Lin Xiuyi.

"I learned a little bit about my friends who used to work at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. According to him, because the domestic large-scale construction market is gradually shrinking, the life of the five major construction companies is not easy now, and they also monopolize almost all large-scale construction contracts in the country. To some extent, this maintains a situation in which the five major construction companies live together. At present, the competition and expansion of the five major construction companies are mainly oriented to overseas markets. However, the Najd Kingdom incident has taught everyone a lesson, and large-scale construction projects abroad have extremely high wind directions, so this time the Chuo Shinkansen is bound to become the focus of competition among the five major construction companies. ”

"If this is the case, I'm afraid it's not just Takeshita Public Works that will be suspected, but also Qingchuan Construction, Mahayana Construction and Kobayashi Gumi, who may attack Kogi Sobi, and you must know that if anyone gets the contracting right of the Central Shinkansen, it means that it will become the overlord of the domestic engineering contracting and construction industry. Who would want to sit idly by and watch this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the open and secret battle between the five major construction clubs has already started long before the press conference of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism!"
