December has passed and time has come to February of the new year.

Tokyo, Shinjuku-ku, Eto Law Firm.

It was already dark at this time, and the street lights outside the office were on. The orange roadside light shined through the windows into the dark office hall. With the help of this street light, the director inside the office could barely be seen clearly.

There seems to be a vague figure in the office.

Beiyuan was sitting in the director's office, leaning on the office chair, stroking the darts he had bought before, looking at the round target on the wall, and suddenly raised his hand and threw it, the cold tip of the dart seemed to make a sound of breaking through the air, and it was piercing.

The moment it entered the target, there was a crisp popping sound, and the entire target couldn't help but shake.

I don’t know which ring the dart is stuck on.

Because there is an A4 paper hanging on the target.

There is a photo of a person stuck on it, a square form is printed on the paper, and a few black Chinese characters on the header say "Resume".

The photo shows a middle-aged man with slightly rough skin and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Facing the camera, his expression is still meticulous and serious, without even the slightest smile. This has even made people laugh.

It can be recalled that when taking pictures, the cameraman shouted and smiled, but the man remained unmoved and stared straight at the camera.

In the large column of the table next to it, the man's name was written in black handwriting:

"Tetsuya Eto."

He is the former director of Eto Law Firm.

Kitahara raised his hand, took a sip of black tea, and slowly scanned the resume in front of him. After experiencing the thrilling struggle with the bank for a debt of 500 million yen in the past few months, he finally had time to sit down and pay attention seriously.

Look at this man who has caused unprecedented trouble for himself.

The corners of Beihara's mouth were slightly raised, and he silently recited the name of the former director, as if he was sitting in front of him at this moment.

Tetsuya Eto, male, 46 years old.

Dahua was born in 1932 and is a native of Tokyo. He studied at the Faculty of Law of Kobe University for his undergraduate degree. After graduation, he returned to Tokyo and joined the Secretariat of the Tokyo Bay Port Supervision Committee. It can be said to be a clerk similar to the city hall. After working, he passed the judicial examination.

, obtained the legal qualification, then resigned from his job and became a lawyer. With his previous experience in port affairs, he handled many legal disputes involving ship collisions at the port. At the same time, he often represented crew members in labor cases. The former director was both a proficient

A maritime law lawyer and a labor law lawyer.

Until now, when searching for Eto's name on the web, you can even find a lot of news about some crew members holding certificates of appreciation and coming to the door of the law firm to thank Eto.

Holding the mouse in his hand, Kitahara rocked his chair slightly, crossed his legs, tapped on the web link on the computer screen, and clicked on one of the news items.

The expression of Eto in the news is exactly the same as the one in the photo taken on his resume.

He still has that old-fashioned, serious look.

The crewmen with happy smiles gathered around Eto, standing at the door of the law firm holding a delicately framed certificate of thanks, making a big V. Eto's expression was a little indifferent, which was combined with the excitement of the crew members he helped.

In sharp contrast, he stood there somewhat numbly.

Kitahara carefully analyzed every tiny expression and movement of the former director. It seemed that there was some kind of huge pressure hanging over the director of the law firm. Of course, this was just a guess. Some people are born with a stern facial expression.

However, I still couldn't figure out why Eto would do something like this and take away the customer's 500 million yen pledged warehouse receipt.

There is a saying in the field of maritime business law that if you don't open for three years, you will wait for three years if you open.

Soon after Eto changed his career as a lawyer, he was able to open his own law firm, which is enough to prove that this business is very profitable.

However, under such circumstances, a 500 million yen debt incident still occurred, which is really too bizarre.

Kitahara thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand the strangeness. What was Eto's motive for doing this? This ridiculous thing of taking away the pledged warehouse receipts held by the bank, to use an analogy, is like doing surgery in a hospital.

The doctor, who was halfway through the process, ended up killing the patient with a scalpel. This is such a bizarre case.

What benefits can Eto gain from this?

Is it necessary for a lawyer to ruin his career on such unnecessary matters?

After thinking about it over and over, I still couldn't figure out Eto's purpose.

However, it is this unexplainable thing that worries me.

People who can reason rationally are not scary.

Huge risks and uncertainties are created precisely by those who cannot measure them with common sense.

If Eto is the kind of person who cannot be judged by common sense, then what he should worry about next is whether this Eto law firm may be hiding more tricks that he doesn't know about. Will Eto still be there?

Elsewhere, lay more and more terrifying landmines for yourself.

Perhaps the 500 million yen debt incident is just one of these landmines.

Moreover, it might just be the least powerful one.

Thinking of this, Beihara couldn't help but look at the director's office, which was less than 10 square meters, again. In this room, there were so many secrets that he didn't know.

Beihara lowered his head and looked at his watch. The hands on it were already pointing to 8:30.

My own pursuit of Eto has actually never stopped.

But this job was left to Sakagami.

The genius hacker girl whom I met by chance in an Internet cafe.

He asked her to access a public camera without a password and see if he could identify whether Eto appeared in the camera's picture by setting up a program or method similar to face comparison. Sakagami initially yelled that it was impossible, but

In the end, she actually came up with an ingenious method. The principle is to randomly extract a number of frames from a period of camera surveillance, similar to taking screenshots of a video. After the number of captured pictures reaches a certain proportion,

Use Eto's photos for static comparison.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is an almost massive project.

Even public cameras without passwords have narrowed the scope a lot.

Kitahara added further restrictions and only tracked the public surveillance cameras within three days after Eto ran away. Using the surveillance videos within three days, he conducted a wide-net search throughout Toyo Island.

Now, it has been almost half a year.

I don’t know if I can recover this net that I have cast out for almost half a year.

Shinjuku District, Naniwa Internet Cafe, Room 37.

A girl wearing a small thick cotton-padded jacket was lying on the computer desk, sound asleep. Although the thick winter clothes wrapped her body, it still could not hide her slender body curves and her messy black hair was slightly curled.

It rose up and dispersed like waves. Her gentle snoring echoed in the somewhat quiet cubicle.

Yesterday, Sakagami stayed up late to watch dramas until daytime. Even Internet cafe residents who were used to staying up late couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep directly on the table.

The computer screen did not turn off. On the contrary, a black program command box was flashing continuously. New folders were constantly being created in the hard disk. The moment the creation was completed, thousands of screenshots would immediately appear. A software next to it

After quickly loading the thousands of screenshots and comparing them with a portrait image, if nothing is found, the thousands of screenshots will be deleted again.

Such a process keeps going back and forth.

8:53:26.

Suddenly, the scrolling black program command box suddenly stopped.

Thousands of screenshots appeared, and after being deleted in an instant, the next one miraculously remained.

The only remaining picture was quickly enlarged by the software next to it.

A brick-red building with a very classical artistic style stands in the picture. The beautiful tiles on the building reflect the rays of the sun. The blooming nanmu next to it is like a giant umbrella blocking the surrounding sun. Two

Men in suits were talking under a tree. The pedestrians passing around these men were all young people in their twenties. Many of them were carrying schoolbags and walking hurriedly through building after building.

Among the brick red buildings.

The capture software immediately locked onto one of the men in suits and zoomed in again.

The second comparison begins.

The distance between the man's eyes was immediately accurately captured and calculated by the computer. Under software calculations, hundreds of red dots covered the man's face.

In less than a second, the calculation results appear.

Similarity 99.7%.

A white information box appears, showing the time and location information of the camera:
