Chapter 768: The Million Yen Theft
Chapter 768: The Billion Yen Theft

"Is there such a relationship in the East City Society?"
Xiang Yuanguang sat on the sofa, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
The first day of the trial has ended, and the Japanese police have most likely begun collecting information about the murder of Sera Masaru that occurred last night. His information gap advantage no longer exists.
As the country's secret service, the Japanese Public Security Bureau's information collection capabilities must be superior to his single-handed efforts.
(However, the information I need to collect is not much compared to the Japanese public security.)
(As long as I can meet Shimano Tai and use the Heart Lock to ask him, I will know whether Shimano Tai is the mastermind behind this incident. Then, based on this conclusion, I can infer other information that needs to be investigated.)
(The only question now is how can I meet Shimano Tai.)
The hedgehog-headed lawyer's hand subconsciously reached for the coffee cup.
He picked up the coffee and was about to take a sip to refresh himself, but he noticed that Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was looking up information on the computer on the other side, seemed to be a little abnormal. Suddenly, his brows slightly frowned.
"Yueshui, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was sitting in front of the computer looking for information, was a little frightened when she heard the voice of Genmi Mutsuki.
However, she just looked back at the hedgehog-head who didn't look threatening at all, relaxed again, yawned, tapped the headphone casing next to the computer in a troubled manner, and answered.
"Of course I have no problem, but according to what Kazami Yuya said, I found out something..."
"Xiang Yuan, have you heard about the [10 billion yen theft case] that happened in the Kamurocho area? It is said that the owner of the huge sum of money was the Tojo Clan in Kamurocho. There are even reports on the Internet that many conflicts have occurred in Kamurocho because of this."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu's voice was calm, but what she mentioned made Genmitsu Mukai frown.
Ten billion yen stolen? In today's world, this is not a small amount of money.
After all, if it can be described as stolen, it must not be 10 billion in assets, but 10 billion in actual liquid funds or cash. Under normal circumstances, 10 billion yen is impossible to be stolen...
Xiang Yuanguang placed the coffee cup on the table.
He stood up, took two quick steps, and came behind Koshimizu Nanatsuki. He held the back of the chair with his hands, and his eyes fell on the relevant information displayed on the computer screen. His eyes narrowed slightly.
Ten billion yen is a huge amount of money. If one wants to take it away quietly, it will either take a long time and the Tojo Clan will not conduct any investigation, or it will be a quick and easy operation and they will prepare enough vehicles to carry away ten billion yen at once.
But, to be honest, neither possibility is realistic.
Because the 10 billion yen of the Tojo Clan will definitely be kept in the Tojo Clan's headquarters, which is the Kamurocho area. It is absolutely impossible to put it in banks in other areas outside of Kamurocho, because they can only maintain control over Kamurocho.
However, in the Kamurocho area where the Tojo Clan had absolute control, 10 billion yen still disappeared quietly.
————It can even be said that Kamurocho has not found any reports about the 10 billion yen so far. Doesn't that mean that this matter is most likely the result of internal embezzlement by the top leaders of the Tojo Clan?
The hedgehog-headed lawyer was thinking.
If it was the Tojo Clan's top brass who embezzled money, causing the 10 billion yen to disappear without anyone noticing, then it would be normal for the Tojo Clan's top brass to clash with each other over this serious theft case.
If Shimano Tai is really as Kazami Yuya said, he is a very ambitious person.
Then, it is not inconceivable that he would try to use some means to bring down the fourth-generation president Sera Masaru, who made serious mistakes during his tenure, or simply kill Sera Masaru and become the new president of the Tojo Clan.
However, in Xiang Yuanguang's opinion, there is actually a problem here... His brows furrowed slightly.
"I saw with my own eyes the back of the sniper who killed Serara Katsu. I must have seen that sniper somewhere in Kamurocho. I have never met anyone from the Shimano Group in Kamurocho, so it is impossible for me to be familiar with them..."
"What about the Majima Group? I say, isn't the Majima Group a subordinate organization of the Shimano Group?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki turned her head somewhat strangely, and her perspective rose slightly to fall on the profile of the hedgehog-headed man.
She tilted her head and said in confusion.
"When the Majima Group blocked you at the Kamurocho subway exit station, Majima Goro brought all the members of the Majima Group with him. Is it impossible for the members of the Majima Group to do such a thing?"
————Is it possible?
Xiang Yuanguang frowned.
He had to admit that this possibility did exist.
The time and place where Majima Goro appeared were too coincidental. If he said he was just passing by, he didn't quite believe it. Although the heart lock could prove that Majima Goro knew nothing about the assassination of Sera Masaru...
However, just like the defendant in this case, Naoji Utsunomiya.
If the senior executives directly assign tasks to the lower-level members, then the lower-level members, like Utsunomiya Naoji, have no reason to refuse. It is not impossible for the Shimano group to assign tasks bypassing Majima Goro.
"…It seems that I need to contact Kiryu Kazuma again."
"He said earlier that he was helping with the investigation in Kamurocho. If Ai is really in the Kamurocho area as Yuya Kazami said, then Kazuma Kiryu should have discovered something."
"After all, the area of Kamurocho is only so big, and there are all kinds of underworld organizations intertwined."
"No matter which mafia organization is doing this, it is impossible for it to go beyond the eyes and ears of other mafia organizations. As long as this incident really happened in Kamurocho, it is impossible for other mafia organizations to know nothing about it!"
Just do it.
The hedgehog-haired lawyer took his cell phone out of his pocket.
He quickly found Kazuma Kiryu's face in the contact list.
Then, Xiang Yuanguang pressed the call button.
Didi didi————
The telephone rang on the streets of Kamurocho.
However, the owner of the mobile phone now found it difficult to free himself to answer the call. He frowned, took a step back to avoid the attack from the gangster in front of him, then grabbed the man's collar with his backhand and pressed his head up.
Then he smashed the gangster's head hard against the wall next to him.
With a dull thud, the gangster temporarily lost consciousness and lay on the ground. The crowd watching the fight slowly dispersed.
"…Lawyer Xiang Yuan?"
Kiryu Kazuma frowned and looked at the name displayed on the phone screen.
