Chapter 560 Chill
Just when Ochi and others had a serious quarrel at the emergency countermeasures meeting at Kyoto University——

7:32pm.

Kyoto, an izakaya on the street side of Sakyo District.

The izakaya was buzzing with people, and there was an endless stream of people talking and laughing everywhere.The waiters shuttled between the slightly crowded seats with side dishes such as grilled mushrooms and grilled chicken wings.From time to time, there will be the sound of toasting and clashing or roaring laughter.

In an unassuming corner of this lively izakaya, there is a tatami area.In the middle of the tatami is a square recess, where a square table is placed.At this time, there were three figures taking off their shoes and sitting here.There is an invisible air wall around the tatami, which isolates this area from the noisy atmosphere of the izakaya.

These three figures are Kitahara, Miyagawa, and Mikiko.

Miyakawa was sitting on the side close to Beiyuan, most of the sake jug on her table was gone, her face was flushed red under the stimulation of alcohol, and her eyes began to blur.This dignified woman, who usually pays attention to her manners, didn't care about etiquette, she just lay down on the table, closed her eyes, and muttered something in her mouth.

On the square table.

Only Kitahara and Mikiko were left.

The two sat opposite each other.

It's just that when the truth is often told, the speaker has the heart and the listener has no intention.

Hearing these sudden words, Bei Yuan choked violently and coughed.

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

"Honestly. I never thought you could win, lawyer Kitahara." Mikiko picked up the sake glass, raised her neck, and took a sip, "You know what. When we first met, I felt You are a somewhat foolish person. You don’t know where the confidence comes from. You obviously look a little unreliable, but you have the aura that everything seems to be under control. I always I started to think that the reason why you took this case is probably because you are young, so you need money and fame."

No one knows what it is.

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

Mikiko laughed as she spoke.

"Although I don't know what happened to you, lawyer Kitahara, it must have been a big thing that forced someone as smart as you into this situation." Mikiko continued: "I don't know what I Do you have the qualifications to remind Beiyuan lawyer you. In short, be careful, be careful."

"You have also read the court's judgment." Kitahara continued, "Although the court revoked Kyoto University's decision to deprive the doctorate, and asked the university to make new administrative actions within 60 days. But from a very large Probabilistically speaking, Kyoto University should turn over this chapter and not touch on this matter again. Now that things have reached this point, what is your next plan?"

Mikiko moved her body slightly, then took out a brown envelope from her small bag, and placed it on the table with extreme care and caution, "Lawyer Kitahara, what you want to know is in this envelope. However, I want to tell you that as long as you don’t open this envelope, you still have the chance to turn back. However, once you know some things, you can never go back.”

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

The reason Kitahara accepted the 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 by the Kyoto police, and he has been unable to leave the capital until today.He contacted Fujimura and Daheyuan successively, in order to find out Jiang Teng thoroughly.

"It was only after I became the lover of these people that I realized how terrifying the world really is. Even so, lawyer Beiyuan, you still have to make sure to pursue it? Even if there may be an abyss of destruction ahead. You have to keep going Okay?" Mikiko asked suddenly.

Gradually, the atmosphere of the conversation changed imperceptibly.

Kitahara straightened up slightly, restrained his expression, and nodded, "Ms. Mikiko, unlike you, I have no way out. Behind me, there is no way out."

"In a sense, Ms. Mikiko, you are right. I am really short of money now." Kitahara smiled and said, "It is because of money that I ran all the way from Tokyo to Kyoto. In the end , I bumped into you. It can be regarded as fate."

"I'm sure I can't stay in Dongyang any longer. But after you filed those lawsuits for the division of cohabitation property for me, those old foxes were scared out of their wits." Mikiko burst out laughing again, "Kyoto University here Already, four professors are willing to pay me a high fee to withdraw the lawsuit. The sums given by these four people are enough for me to live overseas for a period of time.”

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

"[-] million yen? That's going to be difficult. How long do you have 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, Beiyuan always gave people the impression that he was a bit cynical, and now he needed [-] million yen to say it, which seemed to be deliberately making an Arabian Nights joke.

a client.

"Where is Ms. Mikiko going?" Kitahara continued to ask, "Since you already want to go overseas, you must have already chosen your destination."

A faint solemnity is coming.

At the end of this lawsuit, there is a conversation coming.

a trustee.

Mikiko glanced at her, and Miyagawa, who was dozing off beside her, 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 I came back from Oceania and asked you to settle accounts."

Countdown?Bei Yuan frowned slightly.Obviously, what Mikiko is talking about now also exceeds the limit of the information he has.He actually wanted to escape from Toyo before the countdown ended.A group of people who are already high-ranking people, since they are always thinking about how to give up their positions, turn around and run away.Interesting, really interesting.

Mikiko looked down at the wine glass slightly, and after a while, said: "Go to Oceania. There are also many communities where Orientals gather, and it is more convenient to live overseas. After the lawsuit is judged, there is also a biopharmaceutical company in Oceania Contacted me. Because I have a personal patent here, they are very interested."

"Are you sure you still want to know?" Mikiko said suddenly.I don't know when it started, Mikiko's relaxed expression just now disappeared.It was replaced by an extremely serious expression, as if a warning was conveyed between the brows.Warn the man in front of him not to pursue him any further.

"[-] million yen." Kitahara pushed a stack of side salads from an izakaya forward, and put it in front of Mikiko, saying without any expression on his face.

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

"That looks pretty good." Kitahara also raised his glass, "Then congratulate Ms. Mikiko for a smooth trip."

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

Afterwards, the two exchanged polite and pleasant greetings.

I missed it.

On the desktop——

In the dense forest in front of you, there may be something extremely terrifying.

"When I was a lover, I followed them in and out of various big people's occasions. Sometimes I would eavesdrop on their discussions. Between the words and the words, they are conveying a message——Toyo may have Something bad is going to happen, it’s a big one. I don’t know what they are referring to, but seeing the expressions they are talking about, it seems that the sky is going to fall in Toyo really soon. Takeuchi and the others That small circle is always talking about something called 'countdown'. In short, it is to escape from Dongyang before the countdown."

A slightly worn, dusty brown envelope was just there.

Obviously it's just an envelope.

Obviously as thin as a sheet of paper.

At this moment, in this lively izakaya, this envelope exudes a creepy chill for some reason...
