Chapter 524: Thunderstorm

Tokyo District Prosecutor's Special Search Department, the name of this prosecutor's office is known to almost all neon people.

"Japan's strongest prosecutorial authority" and "the last cornerstone of the law" are all praises of its great achievements.

A few years ago, the Yomiuri Shimbun did a survey and found the top three idols in the hearts of neon young people.

One is a cowboy in the United States, one is a hero in the future world, and the other is a prosecutor in the special search department of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office.

This shows the status of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office Special Investigation Department in the hearts of the neon people.

Of course, where there is praise, there is slander.

Because of the background of its establishment, the Tokyo District Inspection Special Search was once considered by many people to be the "East Factory" of the United States in Neon.

Or more directly, in the eyes of some officials, it is the neon branch of the CIA.

But whether it is praise or slander, the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Special Search is definitely the most special existence among the neon prosecutors.

In ordinary criminal cases, the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Special Search will not be carried out at all.

Only political cases, large-scale tax evasion, economic and financial cases, these extremely difficult big cases, will the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Special Investigation be dispatched.

There was a rumor that "when you hear that the 8th floor is moving, Nagata Town will tremble."

The 8th floor refers to the headquarters of the Tokyo District Inspection Special Search in the Central Contract Office, and Nagata Town is located in Chiyoda-ku.

It is the core of the neon government, and the Cabinet Office, the National Assembly Building, and the headquarters of political parties are located there.

From this sentence, it can also be seen that the Tokyo District Prosecutor's special search has a strong deterrent effect on politicians.

But speaking of Nagata Town, Shirakawa Kaede's home is also there.

Tsk, he who lives in Nagata Town, took the initiative to find the 8th floor? How unthinkable this is~

Secretly teasing, Shirakawa Kaede glanced at the eye-catching building, and then quietly turned to a café next to it.

cough~ It's definitely not okay to come to the door directly. He is not an insider, let alone a suspect under investigation.

Although he can visit openly, he is not here for business today, so the café is the best choice.

After entering the café and whispering a few words to the waiter who greeted him, Shirakawa Kaede was ushered into a more private private room.

Because he was a little earlier, he was the only one in the private room for the time being.

But less than five minutes after sitting down, there was a knock at the door.

"Please come in~"

Click, the door opened.

Shirakawa Kaede raised his head, and a tall figure was standing there.

"Senior Brother Ueda, don't come unharmed."

"Shirakawa, you guy is not in your Shirakawa Holding Building, why did you think about running here.

Could it be that you have done too much to ask me to turn myself in? ”

"Haha~, senior brother, you take such care of me every time you see me. Shirakawa is always vigilant, how dare he think about other things. ”

"Haha, if I can scare you, then I, the head of the special search department, will really make others frightened."

The two of them smiled and hugged before they each sat down on the sofa.

They are already familiar with each other, so they don't care about some unnecessary politeness.

As Shirakawa Kaede just called, the person in front of him, Hiroichi Ueda, graduated from the Faculty of Law of Meiji University and is currently the head of the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office.

In terms of kinship, it is not an exaggeration for Shirakawa Feng to call him a senior brother.

At the annual alumni reunion, their small circle is too familiar to be more familiar.

From cabinet members, to the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office, courts, to the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office, and business giants like Kaede Shirakawa.

These people use the alumni association to weave a core network of relationships that can influence the neon landscape.

Shirakawa Kaede hasn't used these relationships all along, because he doesn't need to, and he can handle most things by himself.

But what to do later, to be honest, Shirakawa Kaede himself is not very sure.

Therefore, after visiting the bigwigs in various fields in advance and exploring their tones, Shirakawa Kaede will decide how far to do things.

If you want to get out of this storm and rely on yourself, it is obviously too weak.

"Shirakawa, have you been in trouble lately?" When the waiter left the private room, Ueda asked him meaningfully.

Last month, there was a lot of uproar about the clubhouse, and everyone who should know knows it.

Shirakawa Kaede put down his coffee and smiled, "It's a little thing, it's not worth mentioning."

But I just don't know, if there are no extremist organizations, will it have any impact on the political circles? ”

Ueda's eyes froze slightly, "Although there are various relationships behind the Extreme Dao Organization, their existence or not will not affect the current situation of Neon. ”

Bai Chuan Feng nodded, "Senior brother said this, Bai Chuan was relieved." ”

"Still." Ueda raised his eyes to look at him and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "There are some things that are better not to be involved. ”

Shirakawa Kaede's eyes swept away, and at some point, under the fingers that Ueda had just tapped on the table, there was already an extra business card.

Although his name was covered, the logo of Fuji Bank was clearly revealed.

Shirakawa Kaede's heart moved slightly, it seems that the chaos in the financial circle has attracted the attention of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Special Search Department.

In this way, their plan coincides with theirs.

You don't need to do it yourself, as long as you give a little boost, you may have unexpected effects.

"Senior brother, please rest assured, the credibility of the Beidu Bank, Bai Chuan can personally guarantee it."

"Very good" Ueda also breathed a sigh of relief, the few clues revealed by the major banks recently are enough to attract the attention of the special search.

It looks like a problem for the entire industry, which undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on the special search.

If Beidu Bank hadn't been involved, many things would have been much easier.

Although there is a Ministry of Finance, the special search will still be restrained, but at least he does not have to worry about favoritism and malpractice.

"Shirakawa gives you a word of advice, the financial industry may change dramatically in the future."

"Beidu Bank has also noticed it," Shirakawa Kaede's eyes flashed, "and even got some information." ”

Brush, Ueda flew over with a look in his eyes.

Shirakawa Kaede looked at him, and the two of them staggered their gazes in unison.

After taking another sip of coffee, Shirakawa Kaede suddenly changed the subject.

"Senior brother, last time I went to Beimi, I met Naoko who took a break from school."

"Huh?" Ueda looked up inexplicably, Naoko was his daughter.

Because of the personal relationship between the two parties, the family is also familiar with each other.

Shirakawa Kaede smiled, "Naoko said that she wants to study in North America in the future, preferably in a prestigious school like Harvard or Columbia."

So I prepared several school applications for her, some of which should come down soon.

When the time comes, it depends on her own preferences and chooses what she likes. ”

"You guy." Ueda smiled bitterly, "That's it, I'll thank Naoko first." ”

With that, Ueda got up and straightened his clothes and prepared to leave.

"Shirakawa, the existence of the Yakuza is irrelevant to Neon, but the Ministry of Finance, the financial industry, has been keeping an eye on it."

Bai Chuan Feng nodded, "Thank you Senior Brother for reminding me, Bai Chuan remembers." ”

Looking at the back of him leaving, Shirakawa Kaede's eyes flashed.

August, Shirakawa Holdings Building, President's Office.

"Arai-san, Fuji Bank's materials will be sent out soon.

Nikkei Shimbun and Tokyo District Inspection Special Search, these two are the first targets, and all other newspapers will be delivered three days later. ”

"Chairman Shirakawa, have you started to act?" Arai Yu's face was serious.

Shirakawa Kaede nodded, and the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Special Search came forward in person, and he had tacitly taken care of it.

Nikkei, as the newspaper that specializes in the financial field, is expected to definitely cause a major earthquake in the industry.

Ota is also fully prepared there, and now only the east wind is owed.

What east wind?

On 2 August, the Gulf crisis broke out, and the prices of oil and other commodities in the international market skyrocketed.

It seems to think of the experience of the first two oil crises, and all kinds of department stores here in Neon have been snapped up again.

At the same time, affected by the international situation, the Nikkei index plummeted again in mid-to-late August.

This time, the stock market fell even harder than in January, and now the Nikkei is approaching 20,000 points.

From nearly 30,000 points, it fell by a third at one time.

This time, even the hard support could not be done, and a large number of securities companies fell into the whirlpool of non-performing bonds, and bankruptcy was a matter of time.

However, to add insult to injury, the Nikkei Shimbun suddenly broke the Fuji Bank loan fraud incident, and the banks and real estate companies involved were fiercely criticized from all walks of life.

The general public, in particular, has become generally distrustful of big banks.

According to Nikkei's revelations, more than 600 billion yen of more than 600 billion yen fraudulently lent by Fuji Bank was invested in the real estate industry.

First, there was the Itoman incident, when Sumitomo Bank's loans flowed into the real estate industry, and now Fuji Bank is buying land with huge sums of money.

Why is neon land so expensive? Why can't salarymen afford to buy a house?

Isn't it because of these big banks that they are silently raising land prices behind their backs?

The angry public began to denounce the actions of these big banks, and the stock market plummeted, and the neon society as a whole fell into turmoil for a while.

As the revelations continue to deepen, the related parties behind them are also constantly being dug up.

Among them, the confidential secretary of the Minister of Finance, Hashimoto, and the name of Toyoki Kobayashi are prominently listed.

As the matter fermented, the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office began to announce that it would launch an investigation into the Fuji Bank loan fraud case.

If there are no accidents, Toyoki Kobayashi will also be taken away for investigation.

Under the pressure of public opinion, the Ministry of Finance began to speed up the pace of land tax reform.

They hope to bring down the price of land as soon as possible to make the people resentful.

The first is to ban metropolitan banks from lending to real estate companies in September.

In addition, the property held in the name cannot be traded for two years, otherwise a 96% transaction tax will be levied.

In addition, the real estate tax will be officially implemented next year, and the land holder will be taxed at 2%~3% of the land price every year.

Raising down payments on housing prices, controlling land development, and so on.

The Ministry of Finance felt that this was not enough, and under the strong leadership of Mie Noyasu, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates again.

As of September, the yen rate has risen by 6%!

A series of fierce drugs came down, and the property market fell into a strange calm.

Everyone sensed that something was wrong, but no one dared to take that step first.

In such a stalemate, Shirakawa Kaede began to release his last hand.

"Ota, has the location been decided?"

"Hai, in Hayama!"

Shirakawa Kaede nodded, "Keep your hands and feet clean, the police won't be there in two hours." ”

"Hay!" Ota bowed his head deeply, then strode away.

"Sama, you can go too. You don't have to show up, just guard the last pass. ”

The horse behind him was unmoved, and he kept his mission in mind.

Bai Chuanfeng sighed helplessly, "Don't worry, before you come back, I'll be here and won't go anywhere." ”

Hearing this, Sama hesitated for a moment before nodding to Kojima and the others, and turned to leave.

Click, click, Shirakawa Kaede tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, his eyes blank.

I didn't expect to be the first person to puncture the bubble?

In the final analysis, in this life experience, you have to do something big to be energetic.
