Tokyo Agent: Starting with Picking Up a Problem Girl

Chapter 64 Misjudgment

"Nakajima Hiroshi, come out!"

"A lawyer representing a person associated with the victim requests to confirm the situation with you!"

Nakajima Hiroshi frowned slightly.

A person related to the victim?

There is no victim involved in the repatriation process; this could only be a local dispute.

Is it about Asuka? Or Misaki Tachibana's arrangements, or perhaps the enemy's actions?

There are many possibilities.

As he pondered this, he rose and, escorted by the investigators, walked through several quiet corridors to a smaller meeting room than before.

It was still blocked by bulletproof glass.

However, this time, instead of a worried friend, a complete stranger came.

He was a man wearing a navy blue suit, gold-rimmed glasses, with a gloomy gaze and deep-set eyes.

"Mr. Hiroshi Nakajima, I am the lawyer representing the Morikawa Office. My surname is Morikawa."

This opening line alone already reveals his identity.

The naming conventions for law firms and brokerage firms are completely different.

Lawyers typically need to intern at other law firms for a long time before they can practice law.

If a lawyer in a firm pulls off a major case like Da Zhangwei's Thunder case, the bad reputation will ultimately fall on the firm.

Therefore, unless a lawyer is quite well-known, they will not use their own surname as the name of their law firm.

Those who personally handle cases using the law firm's name or their own surname are almost always just quacks in disguise.

"Who is your employer, and what brings them here?"

The other party did not give a direct answer, but only presented the relevant documents in a formulaic manner.

"On behalf of my client, and in accordance with the law, I would like to confirm several key points with you regarding the potential damage to the interests of its affiliated companies."

"This meeting has been recorded. Thank you for your understanding."

The other party did not reveal their identity and was not one of our own.

If it was arranged by Tachibana Misaki and the others, they should have directly stated their identities so that they would know what to say and what not to respond to.

Nakajima Hiroshi's fingers curled slightly, and his eyes lowered slightly, revealing appropriate tension.

Since they've already come knocking on our door, pretending to be clueless will only reveal that we're already on guard.

Let the other party feel that they are not psychologically prepared to be interviewed, and then wait for the right time to act.

Sure enough, the lawyer noticed this subtle movement and squinted.

"Mr. Nakajima Hiroshi, do you know Kato Inu?"

He got straight to the point.

Nakajima Hiroshi controlled his breathing, paused briefly, and then denied it.

"Kato Inu? I don't know him, I've never heard of that name before."

Attorney Morikawa curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Nakajima Hiroshi's judgment isn't very good. Since I'm here, the evidence must be conclusive.

He pulled a high-resolution color printout from the folder and stuck it on the glass.

The photo shows the receipt for the Kashoya tea set.

The seal of Tsuruya, the inscription of the gift from Nakajima Hiroshi, and the receipt for the amount of 320,000 yen are all clearly visible.

That's right, this person was sent by Kuroda Karito.

Despite numerous attempts to probe the evidence left by Nakajima Hiroshi, the three stores involved remained tight-lipped, refusing to reveal the chain of events behind it.

That administrative scrivener's office even dared to file a police report, claiming that I interfered with their normal business operations?

It seems they are truly confident in the power behind them.

Hmph, do you think I have no way to deal with this?

Seeing that the investigation was not working, Kuroda Karito came up with another idea: to make an example of someone.

Send someone from a shady law firm to apply for a victim investigation in the name of the handling party.

Ostensibly, it's a requirement to verify the authenticity of the documents.

The real purpose was to tell the forces behind Nakajima Hiroshi that if they sent someone to negotiate with him and gave up on Nakajima Hiroshi, he wouldn't need to use evidence against them.

This approach is completely feasible.

The only problem is that the evidence itself is untenable.

Does Nakajima Hiroshi not know whether there was a bribe or not?

So with just one glance, he was able to determine the nature of the matter and the background of the enemy.

Kuroda Karito is causing trouble again.

This guy is really planning to use his fabricated evidence to his advantage and crush himself.

Let's just go along with his line of thinking and create more misjudgments.

Nakajima Hiroshi feigned panic, his eyes darting away.

"No, I don't understand your photo at all."

"Lawyer, who hired you? Shouldn't I have the right to know?"

The lawyer looked at Nakajima Hiroshi with a cold smile and continued to press forward.

"Upon investigation, we found that the receipt was issued by a machiya (townhouse) in Arakawa Ward, and we also found CCTV footage showing that you personally ordered the high-end tea set."

"This supplementary list shows that a batch of high-priced tea was pre-ordered on the same day, but there is no record of it leaving the warehouse."

"Our initial suspicion is that this is a case of using gifts as a pretext to transfer illicit benefits to specific individuals..."

"I have nothing to say!"

Nakajima Hiroshi interrupted the other person in a flustered tone, while questioning the investigator.

"As the person involved, shouldn't I have the right to know whose authorization I am?"

"The opposing lawyer is avoiding the topic, and I demand that this conversation be terminated!"

The two investigators simply stated symbolically, "Yes, you do have that right."

However, they did not ask the other party to reveal their identity.

It seems they've been bribed too.

You'd better not.

The lawyer smiled and said, "Mr. Nakajima Hiroshi, this is your last chance to negotiate."

"If I go back now, my employer will immediately initiate legal proceedings, which I'm sure is something you absolutely don't want to see."

Nakajima Hiroshi swallowed hard, seemingly extremely nervous.

"Mr. Nakajima, you see, we can communicate very calmly."

Attorney Morikawa leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice.

The investigators' indifference clearly demonstrates their attitude.

"My client wants to tell you..."

"Since we can spot these mistakes you made, we can spot even more."

"If you're willing to cooperate and be sensible, we might be able to avoid pursuing some unnecessary issues to the extent permitted by law."

"I believe you can understand what I mean."

As for what constitutes an "unnecessary problem," Attorney Morikawa had no idea.

This trip is just a bluff.

But seeing that Nakajima Hiroshi's breathing had become sluggish, this guy became even more certain that Nakajima Hiroshi was in big trouble, and that even illegal residence was nothing.

He didn't rush to urge him, giving Nakajima Hiroshi ample time to cultivate his fear.

He watched slowly, observing the color slowly fading from Nakajima Hiro's face, yet his expression remained one of forced composure.

Hmph hmph hmph...

That's fantastic! You can't feel this sense of certainty in court!

Sure enough, owners and pets are always very similar, even their arrogance is exactly the same.

Nakajima Hiroshi's breathing gradually became heavy.

for a long time.

He suddenly looked up, his eyes dark and gloomy.

"What do you want?"

"No, Mr. Nakajima, you've misunderstood."

Attorney Morikawa leaned back, resuming his businesslike expression.

As he slowly and methodically tidied up the photos, he said calmly, "Please don't try to confuse the nature of my actions."

"The employer only sent me to understand the situation; there was no intention to make a deal with you or threaten you."

"I've basically said everything I needed to say..."

"I hope you enjoy the peace and quiet here and reflect on your actions."

"After all, time may be running out."

Morikawa glanced at the investigator next to him who was recording the time, and added.

"This has been confirmed. Thank you for your cooperation."

After saying that, he stopped looking at Nakajima Hiroshi, picked up the folder and voice recorder, nodded to the investigator, and turned to leave.

Ha, hahahaha...

Hiroshi Nakajima felt guilty!

There's definitely a big problem inside!

Attorney Morikawa finally realized that he had made a mistake.

I'll go back and report to Kuroda Garito and begin an investigation...

Hiroshi Nakajima, you're going to die!
