Just when Ochi and others had a serious argument at the emergency countermeasures meeting at Kyoto University——

7:32 pm.

Kyoto, an izakaya on the street in Sakyo District.

The izakaya was bustling with people, and there was an endless stream of guests talking and laughing loudly. The waiters were carrying side dishes such as grilled mushrooms and grilled chicken wings, and kept shuttling between the slightly crowded seats. From time to time, there would be

The sound of clinking glasses or the sound of laughter could be heard.

In an inconspicuous corner of this lively izakaya, there is a tatami area. In the middle of the tatami is a square cavity with a square table. At this time, three figures, taking off their shoes, are sitting here. In the middle of the tatami

It was like there was an invisible wall of air that separated this area from the noisy atmosphere of the izakaya.

These three figures are Kitahara, Miyagawa, and Mikiko.

Miyagawa sat on the side of Kithara. The sake bottle on her table was mostly gone. Her face turned red under the stimulation of alcohol, and her eyes began to blur. This dignified woman who usually pays attention to her manners,

Some of them ignored etiquette and simply lay down on the table, closed their eyes, and murmured something in their mouths.

On the square table.

Only Kitahara and Mikiko were left.

The two sat opposite each other.

A client.

A trustee.

At the end of this legal battle, there will be a conversation.

"To be honest. I never thought you could win, Lawyer Kitahara." Mikiko picked up the sake glass, raised her neck, and took a sip. "You know, when we first met, I felt

You are a somewhat careless person. Between what you say and what you say, you don’t know where the confidence comes from. You may seem a little unreliable, but you also have the air to seem to have everything under control. I always

I begin to think that the reason why you took this job is probably just because you are young and need money and fame."

Mikiko laughed out loud as she spoke.

"In a sense, Miss Mikiko, you are indeed right. I am indeed short of money now." Kitahara smiled and said, "It was because of money that I came all the way from Tokyo to Kyoto. In the end,

, I bumped into you. It’s fate.”

"Oh -" Mikiko showed a drunken smile, "Lawyer Kitahara doesn't look like the kind of person who has a very persistent pursuit of money. Since Lawyer Kitahara is short of money, how much money is he short of?"

"Five hundred million yen." Kitahara pushed a stack of salad dishes from the izakaya forward and placed them in front of Mikiko, saying without any expression on his face.

"Five hundred million yen? That's difficult. How long will it take to save it?" Mikiko couldn't help laughing when she heard Kitahara's words. Mikiko obviously took Kitahara's words as a joke. After all, Kitahara has always been a good person.

The impression is that it is a bit cynical. It costs 500 million yen to say it at this time, and it seems like a deliberate joke.

Of course Mikiko couldn't guess at this moment that what Kitahara said was indeed the truth.

Many times, the truth is often told in the form of a joke.

It’s just that often when the truth is told, the speaker means it and the listener doesn’t.

And missed it.

"You have also read the court's decision." Kitahara continued, "Although the court revoked Kyoto University's decision to revoke the doctorate and asked the university to make new administrative actions within 60 days, there is a big difference.

Probably speaking, Kyoto University should just turn its back on this matter and not touch this matter again. Now that things have reached this point, what are your next plans?"

"What's next..." Mikiko looked at the wine glass with hazy eyes.

"I definitely can't stay in Japan anymore. But after you filed those lawsuits for me about the property division of cohabitation, those old foxes were scared out of their wits." Mikiko burst into laughter again, "Kyoto University here

Four professors are already willing to pay me a high fee to withdraw the lawsuit. The sum of the sums given by these four people is enough for me to live overseas for a period of time."

"Where are you going, Ms. Mikiko?" Kitahara then asked, "Since you already want to go overseas, you must have already chosen your destination."

Mikiko lowered her head slightly and looked at the wine glass. After a while, she said: "Go to Oceania. There are many communities where Japanese people gather there, and it is more convenient to live overseas. After the verdict of the lawsuit, there is also a biopharmaceutical company in Oceania.

They contacted me. Because I have a personal patent here, they are very interested."

】

"That seems pretty good." Kitahara also raised his glass, "Then I wish Miss Mikiko a smooth trip."

Mikiko glanced at Miyagawa, who was already dozing next to her, and said: "Lawyer Kitahara, the girl next to you must like you very much. Listen to me, if you dare to betray him, I will definitely do it.

I came back from Oceania to settle the score with you."

Hearing these sudden words, Beiyuan choked several times and started coughing.

Afterwards, the two people exchanged polite words and greetings.

Gradually, the atmosphere of the conversation changed imperceptibly.

A faint solemnity is coming.

The reason why Kitahara took over this lawsuit was precisely because Mikiko held important information about Takeuchi. In order to track Eto, Kitahara came to Kyoto from Tokyo. He was even released on bail pending trial by the Kyoto police. To this day,

They couldn't leave Kyoto. They contacted Fujimura and Okawara one after another in order to completely find out Eto.

"Are you sure you still want to know?" Mikiko suddenly said. I don't know when, Mikiko's relaxed expression just now disappeared. Instead, there was an extremely serious expression, and there was a look between her eyebrows.

It was conveying a warning. It was warning the man in front of me not to pursue any further.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It was only after I became the lover of these people that I realized how terrible this world really is. Even so, Lawyer Kitahara, you still have to make sure to pursue the investigation

Go down? Even if you may fall into an abyss of eternal destruction ahead, do you still want to move forward?" Mikiko suddenly asked.

Kitahara straightened his waist slightly, calmed his expression, and nodded, "Miss Mikiko, unlike you, I have no retreat. There is no retreat behind me."

"Although I don't know what happened to you, Lawyer Kitahara, but it must be something big to force a smart person like you into this situation." Mikiko continued: "I don't know either.

Do you have the qualifications to remind Lawyer Beihara of you? In short, you must be careful, you must be careful."

"When I was a lover, I followed them to various important events. Sometimes I would eavesdrop on their discussions. Between words, they were all conveying a message - Dongyang might have someone.

Something bad is going to happen, something big. I don't know what they are referring to, but seeing the expressions on their faces when they talk, it seems like the sky is going to fall in Japan very soon. Takeuchi and the others

That small circle is always talking about something called 'Countdown'. In short, it is to escape from Japan before the countdown."

Countdown? Kitahara frowned slightly. Obviously, what Mikiko is talking about now exceeds the limit of the information he has. He actually wants to escape from Japan before the countdown ends. A group of people who are already high-ranking people, since they are at the time

Always thinking about how to give up the position, turn around and run away. It's interesting, it's really interesting.

For some reason, Beiyuan felt an extremely strong smell of danger.

There may be something extremely terrifying hidden in the dense forest in front of you.

No one knows what it is.

By the time you know what it is, it may already be too late.

Mikiko moved slightly, then took out a brown envelope from her small bag and placed it on the table with great care and caution, "Lawyer Kitahara, what you want to know is in this envelope.

But, I want to tell you, as long as you don't open this envelope, you still have a chance to look back. However, once you know some things, you can never go back."

On the desktop -

A slightly worn and dusty brown envelope lay on it.

It's obviously just an envelope.

It's obviously as thin as a piece of paper.
