Chapter 283 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, but the Oriole Follows Behind

Agriculture, one of the pillars of Kyoto's industry, was considered an industry that could never collapse, and it was precisely during this most sensitive period that Kyoto's agriculture collapsed.

Kithara Sosuke suddenly felt the pleasure of being helped by God. He knew that the Chino family, which was clinging to the Miyazawa family, would encounter Waterloo, but he did not expect that even their most stable agriculture would collapse.

The collapse of agriculture can actually be traced back to the early stages of the bubble. The stock market and real estate market continued to gain popularity. Large agriculture-related companies absorbed massive amounts of funds from villagers, employees, and employees’ families in the name of joint financing. These funds were secretly invested in the stock market and real estate market. , as the economy collapsed, they suffered serious losses, and could only rely on their huge size for support. They finally managed to get a wave of new bank loans. However, the unexpected happened, and the tight problem broke out.

Kitahara Sosuke left the office and went directly to Kato Miko.

Kato Miko, who seemed busy at her workstation but was actually a little absent-minded, saw Kitahara Sosuke approaching. She immediately stood up and bowed, not daring to look directly into his eyes.

"Secretary Kato, why don't we go for a walk together?" Kitahara Sosuke didn't say much, patted her shoulder gently, and motioned to go outside for a walk.

Not paying attention to the eyes of others, Kitahara Sosuke did not give Kato Miko a chance to refuse, and took her outside the branch building.

Kato Miko timidly followed Kitahara Sosuke, peeking at his back from time to time, speculating in her mind about the possibility of him calling her out. Her mind was so messed up that she couldn't guess anything for a while.

Kitahara Sosuke led her towards his Rolls-Royce Silver Spur. The flying snow in the sky quickly turned the two of them white. He opened the passenger door and motioned for Kato Miko to sit in, while he came to the cab.

This was the first thought that came to President Kitahara's mind when he wanted to be here with himself, Miko Kato, but it was quickly rejected.

She knew that if Kitahara Sosuke was interested in taking advantage of her and contacted him casually, she would obediently take the bait.

From her long-term observation, it was obvious that Kitahara Sosuke had no interest in her, and there should be no shortage of beautiful women around him.

At this time, she suddenly called herself out, and a possibility that she didn't dare to think about came to her mind, which aggravated her fear.

Kitahara Sosuke held the steering wheel with both hands and suddenly smiled: "I have a good relationship with Police Inspector Miyamoto of the Kyoto Police Headquarters. If you investigate carefully, you should know that he had many interactions with me when he was at the Osaka Police Headquarters. intersection.”

Kato Miko held the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands and said nothing. Her face was pale, she bit her lips tightly, and she did not dare to look at him.

"Don't be nervous, Miko-chan. Since I am willing to talk about this matter with you privately here, it means that I have no ill intentions towards you." Kitahara Sosuke showed his signature smile and squinted his eyes, "At least that's the case for now, you understand?"

"Umitsubo!" Hearing this, Miko Kato became even more convinced that Kitahara Sosuke knew her secret. He also said that he was acquainted with Mr. Miyamoto from the police headquarters. Does it mean anything about him? The police headquarters had already Just discovered it? !

He clearly said he would bury this evidence for himself!

Kitahara Sosuke has come into contact with as many as eight hundred people in his lifetime. In just a few words, he can roughly figure out the psychology of Kato Miko. This woman has something evil in her heart, and it is most likely that she killed Sato Takashi!

I just don’t understand where she got such courage and confidence to do such a thing.

To find out the truth, you have to scare her well.

Kitahara Sosuke looked at Kato Miko, paused, and continued: "It's not easy for Miko-chan to step from an ordinary employee to now."

"It's okay." Miko Kato replied subconsciously, "I'm trying to adapt to the work content of the position. During this time, the number of complaints has obviously decreased."

She knew very well what she relied on to get to the top. When faced with those rookies and veterans who didn't understand business, she could deceive them with sweet words, but now she was in front of a man who had crushed the entire Osaka financial world. To deceive him was to deceive herself. She Not that stupid.

Answering his questions honestly is the best strategy.

"Don't be nervous, I won't transfer you from the branch." Kitahara Sosuke comforted him softly, "After the death of Minister Sato, it is inevitable that the deputy minister will temporarily act as the minister. The financing department is now in short supply of talents. You have been promoted from deputy minister to deputy minister. It’s not like the deputy minister doesn’t have a chance.”

"In the financing department, those old employees have basically no hope of promotion. The deputy director is over fifty-five years old. He takes the position of Sato Takashi and will retire after working for three to five years at most. The Kyoto branch is an important branch of Tosan It will be very embarrassing if the director of the financing department of an institution or branch is assigned by the board of directors. It will be difficult for the person who is assigned to the branch to adapt to the complex human relations of the Kyoto branch, and he will not be able to handle the customers in Kyoto. To cultivate them locally, he can only start from the financing The ministry selects talents.”

"Um"

"Is this why you killed Minister Sato?"

Kitahara Sosuke's sudden question suddenly disrupted her thoughts.

Kato Miko shook her head quickly and subconsciously replied: "No, that's not the case! I didn't kill for this."

At this point, she suddenly covered her mouth and looked at Kitahara Sosuke with wide eyes.

She just let it slip!

"Then why did you kill Minister Sato?" Kitahara Sosuke chuckled, took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it, then rolled down the window, "When he dies, isn't it you, Miko-chan, who will be the biggest beneficiary? ?”

"I, I" Kato Miko felt as soon as she got in the car that Kitahara Sosuke might have known the truth of the matter. She never thought that she could really hide it from other people, because that person, he vowed to promise to her, and promised to herself, She just took the risk!

The fact is as he said, the people from the Kyoto Police Headquarters just conducted a routine inspection. The police officers who arrived at the first moment surrounded the death scene of Sato Takashi, and the remaining evidence may have been eliminated long ago.

Only the ghastly-looking Inspector Miyamoto Twelve was a bit difficult to deal with. When he asked her to question him alone, there was a sense of probing, but in the end, the matter passed.

Now Kitahara Sosuke's sudden question made her nervous again.

What is his purpose?

Will he really not be targeting himself as he said?

Kato Miko felt very confused.

Kitahara Sosuke gently patted her shoulder and asked her to get out of the car: "Go, Miko-chan, you still have three days to think about it. After three days, I will get your exact answer, and I hope you won't let me down. "

He didn't give Miko Kato a chance to say anything else, and drove people out of the car.

After Kato Miko left and disappeared into the snowy scene, Kitahara Sosuke blew out a smoke ring and fell into deep thought again.

The temptation just now was not to trick her into killing someone. There was nothing easy about this matter. He just wanted to know whether the root cause of the matter was Kato Miko herself or someone else. How powerful the person behind the scenes was. This was the key. .

He took out the backup copy of those photos, took another look at them, and finally lit them with a cigarette, burned them to ashes and threw them out the window.

After a while, Kitahara Sosuke called Sakai Mieko.

"President Kitahara, what are you doing~"

"Have you read what I sent you?"

"Look, she is Kato Miko, the deputy director of the financing department of the Kyoto branch. We have met in the training activities of the head office. What do you think of her?"

"Investigate everything about her, the men who are related to her, and start from the personnel aspect." Kitahara Sosuke hesitated and did not name a few suspected names. Anyway, the photos are here, and Mieko Sakai should know.

"Sea Wing~"

After hanging up the phone, Kithara Sosuke started the car and sped towards the Chino family's mansion.
