Chapter 807: Dragon-like Reversal (45)
————Any further testimony on the part of Yasuhito Ito?
Shimano Tai's eyes narrowed slightly.
Although it is true that Ito Yasuhito's unauthorized decision to find someone to assassinate Kusakabe Makoto did cause great damage to the interests of the Tojo Clan, the damage caused to his interests by his hypothesis of assassinating Serara Katsu was far greater than the assassination of Kusakabe Makoto.
As the first in line to be the next generation president of the Dongcheng Clan.
Even if he was imprisoned for the assassination of Kusakabe Makoto, the most he could do was pay money to bail himself out, and he might even have time to attend Yoshikatsu's funeral a few days later and run for the next president of the Tojo Clan.
However, if the Japanese public security authorities confirmed that he was the one who assassinated Sera Katsu, the situation would be completely different.
The most important thing in the underworld is righteousness.
Even though all the high-ranking members of the East City Clan knew that there was no loyalty among the top gangsters and only cared about interests, they still had to at least maintain a loyal image on the surface.
If he, the man who might have assassinated Sera Masaru, were to become the next president.
Then the apparent loyalty will vanish into thin air, and the final result will undoubtedly be that the lower ranks of the East City Association will begin to doubt the upper ranks, and ultimately the interests of all the upper ranks of the East City Association will be damaged.
Therefore, even if it is just for their own interests, as long as Shimano Tai is proven to have assassinated Sera Katsu in the court, they would rather give the position to someone else than agree to let Shimano Tai inherit the position of chairman.
Therefore, Shimano Tai was in a very bad mood.
Sesame seeds and watermelons were placed in front of him, but Xiang Yuanguang did not pick up the watermelon, but picked up the sesame seeds.
Even though he knew that Xiang Yuanguang had no obligation or need to help him, he even knew that the other party was still helping him purely out of his noble moral character.
He would also not be able to suppress the anger and greed in his heart.
————Sayako Iwai said that Shimano Tai was a person obsessed with profit.
And in fact, Shimano Tai is indeed such a person.
However, compared to those who are blinded by greed, he can at least remain a little sober and rational. At least, he can remain sober and rational on the surface.
Otherwise, Shimano Tai would probably have put pressure on Xiang Yuanguang by now.
Unfortunately, even if Shimano Tai really put pressure on Xiang Yuanguang at this time, Xiang Yuanguang's mentality would not change at all, because he had already planned to send Shimano Tai to jail in the name of a criminal case.
The document that Makoto Kusakabe passed on to him mentioned the incident of the blank space that year.
Earlier in the lounge, Genkou had talked with Kazama Shintaro, who had personally witnessed the Sora Ipyou incident, and it was confirmed that Shimano Tai had indeed killed someone in that incident.
That guy first worked together with Omi, but was later discovered by the top brass of the Tojo Clan, who demanded an explanation from him.
So Shimano Tai shot and killed the big shot of the Omi Union in front of the top leaders of the Tojo Clan, thus proving that he had not cooperated with the Omi Union and had always stood on the side of the Tojo Clan.
The Japanese public security department has kept archives of this.
In addition to the incident in which he sent people to kidnap Haibara Ai, he had to be sent to jail no matter what.
Xiang Yuanguang just felt that letting this guy take the blame for others and letting the real mastermind go unpunished was too easy for the real mastermind, but he never thought of letting Shimano Taizhen walk out of the court innocent.
"Shimano Tai, next is the questioning phase for the defense."
Xiang Yuanguang took a sip of coffee.
Standing next to Xiang Yuanguang, Nanatsuki Koshimizu stared at Shimano Tai's vicious face, and glanced at Xiang Yuanguang from the corner of her eye, feeling a little confused. But in the end, she chose to believe Xiang Yuanguang and did not express her opinion.
"I need to know the relevant testimony of Ito Yasuhito, a senior member of the Shimano Group."
"If possible, please tell me the relevant information about Ito Yasuhito, the connection with the assassination of Prosecutor Kusakabe, and what Ito Yasuhito was doing at 6 pm three days ago."
The blue lawyer asked.
If these questions can be answered, then the incident of the assassination of Prosecutor Kusakabe will basically come to an end, and it will be enough to focus on the assassination of Sera Masaru.
————After all, as long as it is confirmed that Ito Yasuhito is the mastermind behind the incident, there is a possibility that the Omi United will escape.
Then the Japanese police will naturally weigh the pros and cons and arrest Ito Yasuhito, and at the same time find out the tentacles of the Omi Union in Tokyo and interrupt them one by one.
After all, after this incident, Sera Katsu was killed, Shimano Tai was arrested, and Kazama Shintaro had a close relationship with the Japanese Public Security Bureau, so the Japanese Public Security Bureau had already achieved the credit for combating the Tojo Clan.
If they can capture the people from the Omi Union next, it will be a bonus for the Japanese public security.
"Three days ago at six in the afternoon..."
Shimanota hummed.
He thought about the situation three days ago.
That afternoon, Sera Katsu held a high-level meeting as usual to discuss the 10 billion yen theft case, and the possible thief, Sawamura Yumi, was mentioned again.
Under normal circumstances, as an elite member of the Shimano Group, Ito Yasuhito, a senior member of the Tojo Clan, would also participate in the meeting.
After all, the qualifications of Yasuhito Ito and Goro Mashima are not on the same level. Goro Mashima can set up his own Mashima Group, but Yasuhito Ito does not have the Ito Group, and that is entirely because Yasuhito Ito does not intend to do it.
Otherwise, the Ito Group would have long become the largest peripheral organization of the Tojo Clan, and might even have been promoted to a member of the direct organization.
"…Three days ago at 6pm, Ito told me he wasn't feeling well, so he didn't come."
"After all, that guy goes to the hospital for physical examinations and medication from time to time. If it happens to be during the examination period, I can't force him to participate in the investigation and high-level meetings."
"Even though Yi Dong's qualifications are indeed very deep, he is only a senior member of the direct line organization, not the direct line team leader."
"Even though we, the direct team leaders, knew that what Sera Masaru was going to say was some soothing nonsense about the 10 billion yen theft, we still had to attend the meeting. He didn't have this concern."
Shimano Tai was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"I personally have no knowledge of Ito Yasuhito's actions."
"As for why he hired a few third-rate peripheral members to assassinate Kusakabe Makoto... maybe he wanted to take this opportunity to complete his revenge? After all, Ito also has a lot of business that fell into that guy's hands..."
Having said this, he couldn't help but fall silent again.
It sounds like he is cutting ties with Ito Yasuhito. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that the relationship between him and Ito Yasuhito is very special, and he is the real mastermind behind all this.
But, in reality, Shimano Tai really knew nothing about this.
Who knew this guy would suddenly go crazy and assassinate Kusakabe Makoto? And he even asked a few third-rate people to do it?
