Chapter 1 Business Cards and Women

Finally returned to Tokyo.

Kitahara saw the Skytree Tower under the setting sun, and the colorful lights started to light up, and he unconsciously relaxed. When he came back after being away from Tokyo for several months, he realized that the scenery here was so unique.

After parting ways with Miyagawa, Kitahara walked on the underground sidewalk. When he arrived in Tokyo, he had to go to one more place before going home.

Beihara raised his hand and took out a business card from the inner pocket of his suit.

This business card is a little wrinkled, with a name printed on it - Eriko Asanuma. The business card itself does not have the company where she works, but the address is printed, which is No. 16, 42nd Street, Shinjuku City. However, on the edge of the business card is printed

There is a special gilding edge and a poker pattern on it.

This is a business card for a nightclub or nightclub.

There is no specific club name, but a special pattern will be printed to indicate it.

This business card was found in Eto's car. At that time, after Kitahara climbed into the car, he found two things. One was a note recording the location of Okawara's patent-infringing hard drive. The other was this business card.

Who is this woman?

What is the relationship between Eto and this woman?

On the way here, Kitahara had secretly investigated the information of the woman named Eriko through his own channels. What surprised Kitahara was that Eriko used to be a banker and served as a deputy banker at the Central Bank of Tokyo.

Naga. The Tokyo Central Bank is the largest bank in Japan. It was formed from the merger of the former Tokyo Daiichi Bank and the Industrial Central Bank.

And in a super big bank, the position of vice president can be said to be a powerful one.

How many companies must rely on her for financing.

Kitahara then opened a small notebook of his, which contained information about Jiang Lizi that he had collected before. At this time, it was time to get off work, and the flow of people in the underground passage began to become more and more dense. Although Kitahara was looking at the notebook, his steps were moving.

Keep accelerating and walk towards the address on the business card.

Eriko resigned from the Tokyo Central Bank about seven years ago.

The sudden resignation of the vice president of such a large super bank must be a big shock to personnel.

What happened seven years ago?

Kitahara continued to walk forward, flipping through his notebook. It contained a dense summary of the news about the Tokyo Central Bank seven years ago.

After ruling out multiple news items, Kitahara believed that it was most likely related to the non-performing large-scale loan of the Tokyo Central Bank's Meikeijima Real Estate.

Minghui Island is an island in the bay on the east coast of the United States. At that time, local state legislators were preparing to pass a bill to revitalize the tourism industry. The main content of the bill was to set up Minghui Island as a special area to allow the legal opening of casinos. Local

State legislators are preparing to build Minghui Island into a large-scale tourism and leisure area comparable to Las Vegas.

More than seven years ago, the motion of this bill caused a frenzy to invest in real estate on Minghui Island.

At that time, the Tokyo Central Bank was preparing to enter Western financial markets.

Whether it could seize a piece of highland in the real estate development of Minghui Island was of great significance to the Tokyo Central Bank's expansion of Western business at that time.

At that time, there were joint ventures between East and West that were preparing to bid for land on Minghui Island. The Central Bank of Tokyo provided these companies with huge amounts of US dollar financing.

However, the plan is good.

The reality is cruel.

At that time, the industry had too high hopes for the smooth passage of the bill.

As a result, the second reading of the bill failed.

By the time the final version of the plan was passed, the concession clause allowing casinos had been removed.

Without the casino, Minghui Island loses its most important gimmick.

As a result, land prices on Minghui Island plummeted.

As a result, the Tokyo Central Bank had an extremely large U.S. dollar non-performing amount in its financing of Minghui Island, and was once asked for details by local financial regulators.

It was at this time that Jiang Lizi stepped down.

She should be related to the major adverse events on Minghui Island.

After walking out of the subway's pedestrian passage, Beihara landed on the ground and continued to the address on the business card. Although he had not yet met the woman on the business card, Beihara already felt a faint headache and thought she was not easy to deal with.

After leaving her job, Eriko disappeared for a while. Then, unexpectedly, she started operating a number of nightclubs and nightclubs in Shinjuku District. It is said that Eriko has become a terrifying woman who knows both black and white. In Shinjuku District

, I don’t know how many gray industries she has.

A figure like this is undoubtedly the intersection of various forces and networks.

Any contact with her may be caught by the eyes of various forces.

Gradually, we are getting closer and closer to our destination.

Kitahara did not plan to go directly to Eriko, but just explored the environment around the target first. Soon, No. 16, 42nd Street in Shinjuku District was arrived. 42nd Street is the business district of Shinjuku District, with various skyscrapers standing on the street.

, soaring into the sky. When we arrived at No. 16, we saw a building right in front of us.

The building's guide is printed on the wall at the bottom entrance of the building.

On the 23rd floor, Kitahara saw the same poker heart logo as on the business card.

The nightclub where Jiang Lizi is located is on the 23rd floor.

Beiyuan looked at the surrounding scenery. For some reason, he always felt inexplicably familiar, even though he had never been to 42nd Street before. Suddenly, Beiyuan noticed that the end of 42nd Street was a T-intersection. For some reason, that feeling of familiarity

The feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

He immediately walked quickly towards the T-junction in the distance.

The moment he turned around the intersection, he saw the nameplate on the street.

The T-intersection where you turn is not 43rd Street, nor is it 41st Street.

But——

39th Street.

After walking a few steps towards 39th Street, the same familiar tall building appeared in front of him. Yes, this location is of course very familiar to Kitahara. Because the building on 39th Street is exactly——

The location of Eto Law Firm.

Seeing that the two buildings were so close to each other, Kitahara suddenly felt funny and felt the impermanence of the world. He traced it all the way from Tokyo to Kyoto, and after a life-and-death chase, he finally found a business card left in the car.

The address recorded on this business card is only a few hundred meters away from Eto Law Firm.

The truth is so ridiculous.

The next target he is tracking is just across the street from Eto Law Firm.

After going round and round, I'm back to where I started.

Everything seems like a irony.

Kitahara raised his head and looked at Eto Law Firm in front of him, and then looked back at 42nd Street at the T-intersection. There is no doubt that the firm is so close to Eriko's location, and the two must have an unusual connection.

What exactly is the connection?

Kitahara looked at Eto Law Firm again——
