Chapter 231 The Show Begins
On the evening of October 3, 1990, Tokyo, the Supreme Court, a special detention room.
Yagami Takayuki spoke to Kitahara Sosuke through the glass window.
"Mr. Kitahara, when will we reveal our trump card again? The other party's accusations are already very detrimental to you. Once public support begins to shift, your situation will become very unfavorable."
Kithara Sosuke pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Tomorrow, tomorrow is the day when we show our first trump card. I'm sorry, Lawyer Yagami, there are some things that I didn't tell you because they involve serious matters. Please wait until the court session tomorrow. Keep defending me!"
"That's my responsibility!" Yagami Takayuki said without hesitation, "As long as you have confidence, I'm actually worried that you won't be able to withstand the current pressure."
"That's not possible. By the way, how about that incident?" Beitahara Cang pointed out.
"The time is up! Please leave immediately!" A bailiff cut off the communication between the two and urged Yagami Takayuki to leave.
Yagami Takayuki made an OK gesture as quickly as possible, then bowed to Kitahara Sosuke, and followed the bailiff out of the communication room.
That night, Osaka, General Affairs Office, Governor's Office.
He Hetai looked at the countless reports stacked on the table, his hands trembling a little, why did things become like this!
On the first day after the Kitahara Group Company suspended operations, an unexpected large-scale economic paralysis began to occur throughout Osaka.
Kitahara Logistics, the largest company under the Kitahara Group, has penetrated into every corner of Osaka. Package delivery, express delivery services, etc. have become an indispensable part of people's lives in the past six months.
Just when he left home today, he was shocked to find that the daily newspaper delivery service was gone, the milk delivery service was gone, and the leather shoes and suits he ordered were stuck in the mall, so he had to go to Osaka Nishi Ward to pick them up!
The breakfast delivery service that used to be very convenient to deliver food to your door has also disappeared!
He Hetai's wife kept complaining, saying that she had suddenly regressed from a modern society to an ancient society.
The suspension of Kitahara Logistics has had a huge impact.
When he arrived at the Osaka Prefectural Government Office Building, Yasuya found that all the FamilyMart and 7-11 convenience stores around his home were closed!
In just one day, the communications office of the government office was overwhelmed with letters and phone calls from people petitioning! ! !
At the same time, as the bubble economy burst, a large number of non-bank financial institutions that were struggling to support went bankrupt. They requested government assistance or asked Tosan to mobilize capital to solve the run problem. However, without Kitahara Sosuke, it seemed that even the financial system was beginning to collapse. Got it!
The collapse of financial institutions was followed by the collapse of a large number of real industries. The foundation of the entire Osaka was shaking. Various vicious incidents hidden under the sun gradually sprouted. The number of crimes increased. The serious shortage of manpower in the Osaka Police Headquarters was exposed. .
Every police officer is used as if he were ten people, and even female police officers who have always been responsible for cases involving women and minors have been sent out to handle difficult cases.
Kazama was hoping that the government office would approve the cooperation between the Police Headquarters and Kitahara Manpower. Previously, it was his side and the Police Department that had blocked this cooperation. Now Takashi Tai intends to let it go, but he encountered the suspension of Kitahara Manpower.
They have people and preparations, but they just don't go out!
The upset He Hetai returned to his seat, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary brought two uninvited guests.
Xu Yongzhong and Tanaka Moriichi looked nervous.
After the three of them and Tai Tani got hold of the special list, they wanted to use it to maximize their interests. This was also an important item for Tai Tani to enter the Diet and get on the Takeshita family's wagon.
That list completely records the various benefits that will be distributed to clubs and elites from all walks of life who provide financial support after Takeshita Nobori succeeds in the campaign.
It is the ultimate manifestation of political corruption and abuse of office.
Yasu Yasushi, who had connected a large number of Osaka clubs and elites, was promised a seat as a member of the House of Representatives.
But now, the special list is gone!
"Why are you missing!? Are you kidding me?!" He Yatai finally lost his temper and roared at the two of them, "You know what will happen to us and Takeshita Nobori after this matter is exposed. What kind of blow did you cause?!"
"I didn't know this would happen! I went to Tokyo to appear in court during the day. Don't you want to beat Kitahara Sosuke to death with a stick?" Xu Yongzhong sat down on the sofa slumped, "Who knew that people from the Osaka Prosecutor's Office would Forced into my villa to conduct a special search while I was away? The list must have fallen into their hands."
"Osaka Inspectorate of Supervision?" Yasuya Tai was stunned for a moment, "Are you saying that the list did not fall into the hands of Kitahara Sosuke?"
"Yes, it was a prosecutor named Tamayama Hide who took it away during a surprise inspection. I asked around and found out that he is a new generation of prosecutors that the racecourse prosecutors value. He is likely to join the Tokyo District Prosecutors' Office. According to my past experience, this This kind of surprise inspection is definitely not related to Kitahara Sosuke, it is obviously requested by people from the Tokyo District Prosecutors' Office."
Tanaka Moriichi pushed up his glasses.
"In other words, the Americans higher up want to get this handle. In this case, as long as Kitahara Sosuke doesn't succeed, we don't have to worry too much. I will contact the racecourse prosecutor to see what his side is. What do you mean, we can’t talk to His Excellency Takeshita Nobori about this matter for the time being, just wait for my news.”
"When will it be ready? Your Majesty Takeshita Den can't hide it for too long." Hehetai's face was full of exhaustion.
"When the trial ends tomorrow and Kitahara Sosuke is completely fooled, I will go directly to the racecourse to ask." Tanaka Moriichi said.
The real controllers of the Tokyo Prefectural Prosecutor's Office are the American consortium and the government. He has been there for many years and knows their operating style very well.
This incident is most likely caused by the Tokyo Prefectural Inspection Bureau also wanting a piece of the pie.
A luxurious villa in Chuo-ku, Osaka.
Wearing only light pajamas, Kita Sonoko's two slender legs were crossed and her beautiful eyes were slightly frowned. After listening to the words of Ito Manzaburo and Kurosawa Hiroshi, she was silent for a long time, and then slowly asked: "That is, Say, in this Gulf War, the Ito Man family lost another 700 billion yen, plus the 500 billion we loaned you before, you lost a total of 1.2 trillion yen?"
"Yes. Please help Ms. Ji Tian help the Ito family overcome this difficulty!" The heartbroken Ito Manzaburo no longer knew how to fill this loophole after the oil price plummeted in the Gulf War. He knelt on the ground, his forehead Stick to the floor.
He is not a top wealthy family like the Takeshita family, who can forcefully bear the losses or graft them on to the people. If he loses his own money, he will lose it.
I thought that getting on the government tank would be a sure thing, but I didn't expect that everyone would become Sosuke Kitahara's backdrop.
He hated it so much that he was helpless.
His only hope is the final campaign.
"I will loan you 300 billion from Sumitomo, and then provide it to His Excellency Noboru Takeshita as a campaign reserve fund." Kita Sonoko frowned.
The Sumitomo Foundation rarely really interferes in political affairs. This is also a tacit understanding among the six major foundations. This balance will not be broken easily.
They can make all the difference in the business world and other fields, but the political world, where Americans are involved, needs careful consideration.
If you agree to Manzaburo Ito, it means that Sumitomo Bank will officially support Noboru Takeshita, which has a completely different meaning.
Kurosawa Hiroshi was also on the sidelines, striking while the iron was hot: "Ms. Kita, please convey this matter to President Kita! We at Nikko have also tried our best to support. Kitahara Sosuke has no chance. His death will be Takeshita Noboru." The first stepping stone for a successful campaign. Tomorrow, Ogami will appear in court to give him the heaviest blow!"
Misappropriating the national economy for personal gain coupled with treason is indeed a death-defying crime.
Jitian Yuanzi sighed, that man once made her heart flutter for a moment, it was a pity.
"Okay, I will go back and tell my father tonight. The loan will be approved before the court session. Please tell your Excellency Noboru Takeshita."
"Thank you very much for Miss Kita's assistance. The Itoman family is deeply grateful!!!"
Manzaburo Ito let out a sigh of relief.
As long as you can get on the Prime Minister's train, you can make up for any losses you suffer!
October 4, 1990, Tokyo, Supreme Court, Grand Court.
The trial of Kitahara Sosuke has become a national hot topic. The melon-eating masses are enduring the pain caused by the collapse of the bubble economy while eating this century-old melon initiated by the Prime Minister's Cabinet and waiting for the trial. the result of.
All official and mainstream media are sparing no effort to draw national attention to this matter. There are countless promoters behind it, with different purposes.
Officials of the Takeshita faction hoped to use this to divert some of the bad effects of the failure of the Gulf War. The trial of Kitahara Sosuke was used as a turning point to establish the Takeshita faction's image of clean government and serving the people.
Therefore, this trial is no longer simply a personal grudge between the Abe family and Kitahara Sosuke, but also about the huge changes in the political situation and the future direction of the Japanese economy.
After the court opening ceremony on the second day, when Kitahara Sosuke was brought back to the court, a long-simmering flame began to ignite.
Osaka's economy is almost unstoppable, and trying Kitahara Sosuke as soon as possible is the primary goal of the Takeshita faction.
After the court session, Chino Hayabusa looked at Kitahara Sosuke with a complicated expression. He had a secret meeting with Chino Ryu last night and got amazing evidence and changes from his brothers. When he knew that these things were arranged by this young man without any help, He was completely stunned when he saw how many Qianye family's power he had.
Today, I'm afraid it will be a brutal crushing.
"Dear magistrate, I beg that our witness No. 4, Yamada Yoo, president of Yamada Mortgage Co., Ltd., be allowed to attend."
"Can!"
Baba Yoshika looked at Kitahara Sosuke with a smile. The heaviest first punch was about to come. Can he still resist it?
Yamada Yang, who came on stage obediently, shrank his neck and did not dare to look at the crowd.
"President Yo Yamada has been a high-quality customer of Tosan since he took over as president of Yamada Mortgage. However, he later clashed with Kitahara Sosuke several times and was injured by the latter and was hospitalized twice!"
"President Yo Yamada is here this time as a tainted witness on our side, accusing Kitahara Sosuke of instigating Yamada Mortgage's predecessor, the Yakuza Society, to organize the Yamada-gumi to kill people and seize property! President Yo Yamada, please tell the story in detail." Baba Yike's words are astonishing!
Prior to this, Takayuki Yagami had considered the same defection behavior as Yamada Yo and Kadani Koji, but the Yamada team had a criminal record and a negative background. The credibility of this kind of testimony would be greatly reduced. He had many ways to avoid harm for Kitahara Sosuke.
However, Yo Yamada turned up as a tainted witness!
This means that he admitted that he was also a member of the criminal party!
Based on his true situation, even if he has a lot of misdeeds, he will not be arrested and imprisoned without conclusive evidence. Why should he face death to admit his crime and deal with this behavior of killing a thousand enemies and damaging himself eight hundred? Kitahara Sosuke?
Yagami Takayuki straightened his body and subconsciously looked at Kitahara Sosuke, only to find that the latter was completely unmoved.
"I, I and our Yamada-gumi were originally a famous Yakuza group in Osaka. Later, my father transitioned into a mortgage business, but he was still involved in many gray and gray industries. I followed his instructions and sent people to rob and kill people in Chuo District. He seized a large amount of real estate from many people through humiliation, bullying, rape, etc., and got away with it with the help of his connections. My father asked Mr. Finance Nakamura to record these evil deeds in the ledger. If the persecuted people are not convinced, It is impossible to appeal, because we still have higher-level connections, and they have no choice but to either stay in the suburbs or leave Osaka and go to the countryside."
"What about those people who are unwilling to leave and compromise?" Baba Yike asked.
Yamada Yang looked up at him and said, "It was all poured into cement and sunk into Tokyo Bay."
The whole place was in an uproar!
Such evil deeds actually happen in modern Japan!
The people in front of the TV were even more shuddering. This is what people around them are experiencing.
In order to increase the value of real estate, there are indeed many Yakuza groups who help people buy and demolish properties. The victims are not just this small group of people in Osaka. The scope is so wide that it is difficult to estimate.
The evidence is solid!
Chino Hayataro looked at the account book. There were nearly a hundred people involved in the case recorded in it, and many of the victims were still there. He only needed to send someone to investigate to confirm.
Such a shameful thing actually happened in an international metropolis! ! !
"Dear magistrate, as a prosecutor, I will never tolerate this kind of thing! Our Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office will pursue this matter to the end!" Baba Yoshika turned to look at Yamada Yang and asked, "Then Kitahara Aoi How much did your agent pay you when he instructed you to do these things?"
"Ah?" Yamada Yoro woke up from a dream and suddenly looked up at him with confused eyes, "The people who instructed me to do these things were President Ito Manheizo of Itoman Co., Ltd., and his brother, Ito Manzo, the general manager of Tosan Lang."
! ! !
Kitahara Sosuke felt that time had stopped at that moment.
He could clearly see the expressions of surprise, shock, anger, or bewilderment on everyone's faces.
It's really interesting, such appearances of sentient beings.
"It sounds outrageous, but what does it have to do with me, Kitahara Sosuke?" He looked at Baba Yike and his lips twitched, "The show is about to begin, let's investigate the matter at Baba."
