Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 394 Niwa Marina

Just when Kitahara and investigator Yuki reached an alliance in the hotel room, directly above their room, room 1406 ushered in a new occupant.A woman in a black suit and white shirt, with a satchel on her back, walked briskly down the corridor of the hotel.The zipper of the shoulder bag is not fully closed, exposing a corner of the black equipment, which looks like a corner stand for photography.Combined with the small notepad and pen in the pocket of the woman's jacket, it is a standard attire for a journalist.

This woman is exactly the female reporter who had intersected with Kitahara in the Kawamoto Expressway case - Niwa Marina.

Niwa held the shoulder strap of the satchel tightly with one hand, and looked back with extreme vigilance from time to time, as if to make sure that no one was following him.When he came to the guest room, with the sound of "beep", he swiped the electromagnetic card into the room, and Niwa breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though he entered the closed room, the tension in Niwa's heart still did not dissipate.

Recently, the reason why she came to Kyoto was to investigate the financial chaos of the industry-research joint venture of the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University.She came to Kyoto about two months ago and has been secretly collecting various materials locally, including quietly going to the site of the industry-research joint venture to conduct investigations.

The results of the field visits were astonishing.There are more than [-] industry-research joint ventures. Although their industrial and commercial registration addresses in the city hall are different, after tracking, these two hundred or so industry-research joint ventures share an old building in the warehouse area. The old building serves as the actual office address.

Niwa had already visited that building.The building had already become a dangerous building because the construction party made fake concrete and was damaged by the earthquake.A cordon was erected around the warehouse area, and there were security guards to prevent outsiders from entering the dangerous building.

To be honest, after finding this result, Niwa was really shocked in his heart.You must know that these two hundred joint ventures of industry and research, if you only look at them from web search, they all have extremely beautiful homepages, accompanied by photos of workshop machines that look very technological, no one can imagine Behind all these seemingly glamorous companies, their actual office address turned out to be an inaccessible dangerous building.

Who can believe this?
Who can believe it? !
Publicly-funded companies are set up in this kind of place? !
To be honest, when Niwa found out about this scene, she really wanted to write the report that day.In the end, however, she held back.For those who can do things like this, she believes that there must be more black material that has not been dug out.Writing out the report in advance and publishing it can only scare the snake away and remind them to destroy the evidence.

About half a month ago, she heard that there seemed to be a criminal case in the industry-research joint venture. A researcher had been arrested by the police. At the same time, the Academic Promotion Committee had sent people to Kyoto University to conduct a secret audit.All of a sudden, there may have been turmoil in the university, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers.

However, it was precisely after I came back from the warehouse area that day that I felt being followed.

First, my hotel luggage in Kyoto was suspected to have been turned over.

Items in the room have shifted.

After that, it was my mobile phone and mailbox, and I received inexplicable blank messages from time to time.

Sometimes, there will even be a silent phone call.

However, the situation reached its worst point a few days ago.I received a threatening letter directly at the hotel.The letter warned that as long as he continued to investigate, unimaginable consequences would happen to him.Before, Niwa lived in the cheapest hotel.

After receiving this threatening letter, she decided to change hotels.After seeking help from the magazine, Niwa has now moved to the Liston Hotel.This hotel is also a well-known star hotel in Kyoto, with complete management in all aspects. Without the room card issued by the hotel, it is impossible to take the elevator.The security of the hotel is very tight, and it is said that celebrities often stay in this hotel because of their good security experience.

The zipper of the shoulder bag on the desktop has been opened, the laptop is connected to the socket of the hotel, and the screen displays the windows startup interface.Stacks and stacks of materials are piled up on the desk.The notepad was open, densely packed words squeezed into the narrow paper, stringing together the messy material clues.

Niwa looked at the materials, rested his chin lightly with his hands, and subconsciously fell into thinking.According to the clues she has found so far, the chaos in the industry-research joint venture of Kyoto University may not be as simple as financial chaos.

The female reporter's eyes fell on one of the documents piled up next to her.The document is printed with a few large characters "Nakamoto Ship's Extraordinary Money Laundering Case".

The Nakamoto ship money laundering case is a major criminal and economic crime case that recently appeared in the Kyoto-Osaka area.Specifically, the subsidiary of Nakamoto Ships in Kyoto is suspected of using shipping, ship insurance, ship leasing and other businesses to provide money laundering assistance for smuggling gangs.

At first glance, it seems that this case has nothing to do with Kyoto University's industry-research joint venture.However, in a recent investigation, Niwa found that some of the industry-research joint ventures of the Faculty of Engineering have a list of business partners that is related to the Nakamoto Shipbuilding case.

Although Niwa did not discover the specific bank accounts, she was already investigating.

Of course, if it's normal business dealings, it's fine.But if... Niwa thinks of a possibility, that is—is it possible that the university's scientific research funds will be withdrawn through industry-research joint ventures, and then flow into related criminal gangs.If this possibility is finally confirmed, it will be an unprecedented explosive news, which will cause a devastating blow to the reputation of Kyoto University.

University research funding ends up being exploited by criminal gangs.

The so-called industry-research joint ventures may be a glove for criminal gangs to grab funds.

Imagining this possibility, Niwa's body trembled uncontrollably, and he took a deep breath.

At this time, the clock in the guest room had pointed to 1:[-] in the middle of the night.Niwa couldn't help but yawned a lot. After working hard all day, she hasn't rested yet, so it's time for her to take a bath.

Niwa removed his suit jacket and unbuttoned his shirt.The body wrapped in the tight suit has a slender and exquisite figure.Niwa looked at himself in the mirror, rubbed his eyes, then showed a rare laziness, and walked towards the bathroom of the guest room.

With a bang, the lamp was lit.

At this time, Niwa was only wearing a bath towel, and his hair was already loose.When he came to the bathing station, Niwa was about to turn on the delicate hotel faucet, when he glanced away, he found something like a letter beside him.

Unexpectedly, this hotel is quite exquisite, Niwa thought so, there will be letters welcoming guests to check in.Immediately, she picked up the envelope next to the bathroom counter and opened it.

A piece of paper shakes out.

This paper is extremely rough, and there are still a few unsightly creases.

It is obviously different from the exquisite note paper in the hotel.

The single dim light in the bathroom shone on the slipped note, only a few large cold characters were printed in crooked print on it:

"No matter where you fled, I know. Niwa Dashi."

The moment he saw this creed, Niwa's heart skipped a beat, and he took a step back uncontrollably.How...how is it possible? !This is a star hotel, why...why...why was there a threatening letter in the bathroom of the guest room before I moved in.

Niwa's eyes widened a little, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.She stepped back to the bathtub in the bathroom, and her calf touched the cold enamel.However, at this moment, she suddenly felt a wave of hot air on her neck.This hot air seems...it seems to be human breath.

Someone...someone is standing behind him!
