Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 454 The Last Echoes of the Showa Era

   Night attack is night attack. Even if she doesn't really trust herself now, she wants to take the initiative in future plans, the more information she knows, the better.

  Meanwhile, let’s send some people to Kansai first to get more information.

   In the middle of the night, while preparing to leave, he also called Yuta Irie: "Have you told Suzuki-san?"

   "Yes, they are all people who were deployed in the name of the Inagawa family's Kansai colonization plan!"

Tao Zhiming nodded: "Let's set off early tomorrow morning, let's open the store first. If we fight with the extremist forces over there... the first culprit will be fine, at least let a few key people disappear. At that time, someone will come to mediate. negotiated."

  Irie Yuta asked: "Although Suzuki-san trusts you, the Inagawa family's blatant expansion to the Kansai region may be tragic..."

"Don't worry, the Inagawa family is already a very formal club. After the battle of self-defense is over, of course, we can immediately look for an open and honest force to protect ourselves. Remember, our purpose is just to find that key information. Last year, Nobuhiko Horikawa was the first Before the chairman of Yi Kuan Yeh Bank, the director of the first Kuanye Bank branch office raised 3.6 billion yen in violation of the scandal, how did Nobuhiko Horikawa successfully handle the question from the Yamaguchi organization at the general meeting of shareholders!"

   "I'll tell Suzuki-san!"

   Tao Zhiming hung up the phone, and slowly gathered the documents sent by Tao Yaren, then locked it in the office safe and opened the office door.

In the 1970s and 1980s, when the economy was booming, there were not only the above-ground houses that Irijiang Xiongtai stayed at and made money by helping demolition and relocation, but also the general house that made money by buying some shares at other people's shareholders' meetings and collecting protection fees. Various other ways of earning gray income.

  Tao Zhiming is sure that Horikawa Nobuhiko dares to cooperate with Mitsui and Sumitomo, and there must be cards in their hands that make them throw the rat. In Tao Zhiming's memory, the Itoman incident that will be exposed next year, which is no less than the Osamasu incident, is naturally a possible target.

   This incident happened to have art laundering, it happened to be related to the pole, and the target was directed at Sumitomo. After Itoman's time broke out, many executives of Sumitomo were shot to death by being shot in the back of the head. This was a "pole execution style".

   It feels very much like a consortium war!

   In the middle of the night, Tao Zhiming stood by the window, looking out at the summer night Tokyo that was still brightly lit at the beginning of the Heisei era.

  I don't know where Ansai Zenwei, Nojima Tatsuo and Takagi Renha are at this time, and how close they are on the surface and their inner calculations.

   Think about how many yakuzas can beat the brains of 100 million yen, and then think about 100 million times 1 million times, how many tragic wars are behind them?

  The 100 trillion yen level consortium war, since then, the neon pole has become more and more sad, and it is about to sell milk tea.

   If Kazuhiro Inagawa and Daiki Suzuki were not closely related to Hidekaze Kinoshita, they knew very well what a tragic war this would be, and why would they send their "sons" at this moment to go to Kansai?

   In this calm summer night, the consortium war has already started quietly!

   "Master President, the car is ready."

  Tao Zhiming nodded and followed Ogata Toshio towards the elevator.

   "Haruno Haruka shouted?"

   "Yes, I've been waiting for you."

   "Anything special there these two days?"

   "No." Toshio Ogata thought for a while and then added, "Except for the morning and evening exercises in the yard, I didn't go out. In addition, I used a rice cooker."

   "Rice cooker?" Tao Zhiming was shocked.

   "Yes... I heard that I forgot to dry the water at the bottom of the pot after washing the rice because I haven't used it."

  Tao Zhiming was speechless for a while: "Do you think it's fake?"

"Master President..." Toshio Ogata moved out of Masahiro Ueda, "Lord Ueda also said that Miss Haruno really doesn't understand a lot of things. You asked me to arrange for someone to investigate, Miss Haruno has indeed been living since five years ago. At Hachiman Shrine."

   "So it's a bit stupid, you haven't taught her how to use it?"

  Tao Zhiming just thought it was very inexplicable. The girl who grew up in such a shrine did not pay much attention to learning about the outside world. Why was she so obsessed with revenge, and the enemy was probably a person with a very high status in society.

  There was no more helicopter at night, and the speedboat went directly to the island from the pier.

  The lights of the villa were already on, Tao Zhiming entered the room, and sure enough, she put on the witch costume again.

   It strikes late at night, what can happen?

   Of course, she continued to ask her some questions like last time, so she was ready to "Send the Spirit" to ask God to go to her upper body.

   Is this a ceremony for "entering the play"?

   Toshio Ogata knowingly kept watch outside the courtyard with a wide field of vision. In the room, Tao Zhiming was sitting on the sofa opposite Haruka Haruno.

"Do you still need to be psychic today? It's very awkward in the middle of the night. If you still play like this, then I'll come back when I'm not busy during the day. Anyway, you look very comfortable living here, and you'll be able to use a few rice cookers. It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

   Haruka Haru's eyes were a little embarrassed, but his expression was still a little stubborn: "The witch herself acts according to the will of God..."

  Tao Zhiming looked at her and didn't speak, Haru Ye forced to look at him for a moment, then he shook his sleeves, as if he was about to start the psychic ritual.

   "Haruno Takizo, formerly known as Horikawa Takizo, is the adopted son of the Horikawa family and the adopted brother of Horikawa Nobuhiko!"

  Tao Zhiming stopped her in a deep voice, and Haru Ye's movements paused.

"Twenty years ago, Horikawa Takizo became the son-in-law of the Haruno family at Hachiman Shrine and changed his name to Haruno Takizo. Eighteen years ago, you were born, and you should inherit the position of the witch. Thirteen years ago, your mother Haruno Yuki passed away. Twelve years ago, the Haruno family was no longer the nominal owner of Hachiman Shrine, and you left Hachiman Shrine! It was not until ten years ago that Hachiman Shrine returned to the name of the religious corporation that owned the shares of Haruno Takisan. Five You only returned to Hachiman Shrine after Haruno Takizo committed suicide a few years ago!"

Tao Zhiming's eyes were cold: "You have lived in Kyoto from the age of 6 to thirteen. What are you pretending to be devout to the gods? What are you pretending to be unfamiliar with life outside the shrine? Continue to face my words with this attitude, Don't say anything like taking revenge with me. I don't care about the special affairs of the Furong Consortium and me! Who do you think is sitting in front of you? I am a person who can easily mobilize trillions of funds, and I need you A naive shrine maiden to help?"

   Haruno Haruka's body trembled slightly, but his lips were pursed tightly and his face turned pale.

"So, Horikawa Nobuhiko can be said to be your uncle, why can't you trust him?" Tao Zhiming looked at her and softened his tone, "I know you may be guarding some secrets silently, thinking that this is the case now. The best way. However, I don't like your way of doing it. Saying that you want to avenge your father, thinking of pretending to be a holy priestess and ingeniously guiding other people's actions, do you think people like me or Nobuhiko Horikawa think Too simple? Is this what you call enlightenment?"

   His tone has some persuasive flavor, no matter whether it is useful or not, he always has to express his attitude.

   asked him to pretend to talk to her in a "psychic state" all the time, Tao Zhiming was not too emotional to play that kind of trick.

   Haru Yeyao looked at him, his eyes were slightly confused, then he took a deep look at Tao Zhiming, and then he became firm again.

   This sight made Tao Zhiming's heart move, and he only felt that there was an incomparable determination in it, and there was a taste of entrustment and hope.

   "Are you enlightened? Then try it... Please forgive me, Lord God."

   After reading this sentence gently, she still took out the fan from her sleeve, and then changed to kneeling and sitting on the sofa. After putting up a few postures, the bell rang, and leaned forward 60 degrees, muttering words in his mouth: "Even if I say evil things, even if I say good things, I will make a judgment. The Lord of the words is above, showing the true meaning. , come to Huanghuang! Five square formations, Shikigami supporting the wings, my name is... Amber!"

  Tao Zhiming is stupid, are you still here?

   Then, when Haru Ye raised his head, it seemed as if the seal had been lifted, and his eyes seemed to become purer. Seeing Tao Zhiming's first glance, he seemed to be a little familiar at first, and then he seemed a little scared: "Where is this... Who are you? Mom, mom..."

   In the middle of the night, Tao Zhiming felt a pain in his head, why is he so supernatural? You can't speak without being psychic, right?

  Who is Amber?

   frowned, and saw Haruya leave the sofa and hide behind the sofa. Such a big man hid behind like a little girl, showing half of his head and one eye, with only a few fingers on his hands resting on the edge of the sofa, looking at Tao Zhiming in fear.

   looks cute, but the atmosphere is not right.

  Tao Zhiming looked into her eyes and sighed inwardly, his expression softened and his tone softened: "Is your name Amber? It sounds good."

  What can I do? I can only continue to act, after all, I really want to know some information.

   "Mother's name!" Haruka Haru said in a coquettish tone. Although the delicate face has already grown, but the beauty of the person is willful, and it is not against the harmony to sell the cute expression at this time.

   "Is your mother Haruno Yuki? I know her..."

   "Really?" Haruka Haru's head sticks out more from behind the sofa, "Do you know your mother?"

   "Yeah, the witch of Omi Hachiman Atsuchi Hachiman Shrine, right?" Tao Zhiming smiled and asked, "If I remember correctly, are you five years old this year?"

   "You know?" Haruka Haru's eyes showed pure childlike naive surprise, and then he looked around worriedly, "But, where is mom? Where is this?"

   "This is Tokyo, Miss Xueyi... she's ill, please let me take care of you." Tao Zhiming asked softly, "Where's your father? Do you know what he's up to?"

Haruo Haru put his finger on his lips, as if he was thinking, then he pouted and shook his head and said, "My father is on a business trip, isn't he in Tokyo? Mom, please take care of me, are you unable to contact my father? ?"

   "Yes." Tao Zhiming asked along the way, "Do you know where Haruno-san is on a business trip in Tokyo? Is it a club or another government office? I can check the phone number."

   "I think I heard my father and my mother say...it's really...Marubeni?"

  Tao Zhiming's heart moved, is it Marubeni? The core trading company of the Furong Consortium.

   "I see..." He responded first, then nodded, and continued to ask, "If we can't contact Haruno-san for the time being, can you contact your uncle Horikawa-san?"

   Haruka Haru's eyes suddenly became frightened, and then scattered, crying with a voice: "Mom, run... run, Mom!"

   just repeated this sentence in his mouth, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he fell softly behind the sofa.

  Tao Zhiming's heart is awe-inspiring, wondering if she thinks she has said enough. Should you go out now? Otherwise, she would have been lying there in embarrassment?

   But after standing up, she saw that she was really lying on the ground over there, her face pale, and blood seemed to seep from her clenched fists.

  Tao Zhiming walked over quickly, shook his shoulders and found that he had really fainted.

   He thought for a while, then he hugged her without hesitation, and then put her on the couch.

  In the midsummer season, Haru Ye didn't need to cover any quilts, just curled up on the sofa like that, frowning together. The long straight hair was spread out in a large section, Tao Zhiming took out a tissue, and gently tried to break her clenched fingers, wiping the blood on the edge of her palm.

   Looking at the real bloodstains on the tissue, Tao Zhiming quietly looked at this witch who always wanted to communicate with him like this.

   Tao Zhiming, who came prepared, actually heard a lot of useful information just now.

   One is called the close mother, and the other is called the very formal father.

   Haruno Takizo, who had been in close contact with the Marubeni Trading Company under the Furong Foundation thirteen years ago, mentioned Horikawa Nobuhiko and asked Haruno Haru to yell at his mother to run away and quickly relieved this state...

   and her own name, Amber, and the tone of voice when she entered this state.

  The so-called psychic, of course, is false. But in the end, she will faint, so this state called "Amber" doesn't seem like a performance.

  Perhaps, it is really a split personality, or...a personality that was deliberately sealed, just like the meaning of the name "Amber"?

   Haruno Xueyi is a real witch, witchcraft naturally does not exist, but maybe you can use some "hypnosis" to protect her daughter who is most dependent on her, right?

  Tao Zhiming has been thinking about this information, and also thinking about the information about the investigation of Yueguang Village sent by Tao Yaren, as well as the intention of Horikawa Nobuhiko to introduce Haru Ye to himself. Combined with the time point thirteen years ago, and the key information of Marubeni, I have to think of a major event in that year, and the Lockheed incident, which is known as one of the four post-war neon scandals, together with the Ricurut incident. .

   also led to the resignation of a prime minister. At that time, it was Takeshi Miki who came up to clean up the mess.

   Haibe Jun, who is now in office, is also from the Miki school. How similar is the history?

  Tao Zhiming has been sitting quietly on the sofa, just thinking about these things in his mind, until unconsciously, the window began to light up.

   I don't know if it's because of the biological clock, but Haruno Haru, who is used to getting up early, finally has some noise.

"you're awake."

   Hearing Tao Zhiming's voice, Haru Ye's confused eyes became clear. First, he was startled and quickly looked at the environment and himself, and then sat up.

   She looked at Tao Zhiming, her eyes were a little worried, a little scared, and a little bit looking forward to it.

  Tao Zhiming looked at her and smiled: "I'll ask someone to help you see the wound on your hand later, it shouldn't matter. It's just a little bit of skin, and you can wake up smoothly."

   He stood up, stretched, twisted his waist, and then said, "I saw a little bit of your awakening. In exchange, I guarded you all night. Now, it's dawn."

  Tao Zhiming walked to the door, turned his head and smiled brightly: "Go on with the practice of the **** dance. Besides, if you want revenge, you have to make some guards for yourself, right?"

   He went out, and Ogata Toshio was still waiting not far away.

  Last night, only the living room was lit in the villa, this Ogata Toshio noticed. Seeing the bloodshot in Tao Zhiming's eyes, Ogata Toshio asked in surprise, "You haven't slept?"

   "You haven't slept yet? Let's go to the yacht to rest for the morning. I'll let Yuta make arrangements later, Miss Haruno's hand got a little trauma."

   Ogata Toshio was puzzled, but nodded anyway.

  Why get hurt? Man, don't think about this.

In the living room of the    villa, Haruka Haru opened his slender fingers and looked at the red mark on his palm.

   "Guard... is it dawn?" she murmured, turning her head to look out the window.

   squinted his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a bright smile before he left the door.

   Haruka Haru retracted his gaze and looked at the witch costume on his body. There was a drop of blood on the white sleeve, which was now dry.

   After thinking about it, she picked up the fan on the coffee table, walked over and opened the door, taking a deep breath of the morning air.

   Then, as usual, we practiced the shrine dance.

   The slow movements are very solemn, the bells are shaking in different directions, and I don't know what she is praying for...

   At this moment, the people stationed in Kansai by the Inagawa Society in the name of the Inagawa family boarded the first train and set off.

  Takagi Renhachi was still asleep in the hotel, and the office worker yawned while reading the morning paper, and was then brought to his attention by the content of one of the pages.

  The special plan of the annual audio and video awards in the first year of Heisei, TV Tokyo, WanderStar, and Pantao Pictures jointly launched the variety show "The Last Echo of the Showa Era".

  Three rounds of selection, two winners, and an unprecedented grand prize.

  400 million yen of new star director, concentrated release of the original soundtrack album of "My Love from the Star", pre-heating promotion, a large number of music video shooting and editing tidbits, the shooting and simultaneous release of the music video of Sakai Izumi's new solo album.

  The most important thing is that the new film project of Yasuko Sawaguchi, with an investment of no less than 5 billion yen, is announced, called "Memoirs of a Geisha", Uno-sama's bones are not cold!

   However, Sawaguchi Yasuko + Geisha did provide endless imagination, and countless male audiences were ecstatic.

   What's even worse is that when something good happens in the morning, a reporter runs to block Uno Zongyou's door to interview him about the matter. In the news broadcast at noon, there was a picture of him solemnly expressing his support. And, he said he would support it with action, taking this as the first step in fulfilling his promise.

   There was an uproar in public opinion for a while.

Tao Zhiming, who woke up from the yacht and returned to the club building, watched the news with a smile on his face. The Inagawa family's sons had already arrived in Osaka, Kanagawa, Kobe, and Kyoto. The Inagawa family's Kansai colonization plan was just launched, and they spent a lot of money. Rent a storefront location.

The war between the    consortia has officially begun.

   Who would have thought that even this movie has become a prelude and fulcrum of the consortium war?

  Tokyo is bathed in the prosperity and extravagance of the new day. On the eve of the collapse of the bubble, the neon in the eyes of ordinary people is peaceful.
