Chapter 11 fourth quarter

The Totsugawa Police Department, Nishimoto, Kusaka and others listened to the tape several times.Then, Nishimoto wrote down the points that have been clarified. ⑴The next target of the attack is a pachinko parlor (400 machines, 20 employees). ⑵The owner of this shop has concealed income, evaded taxes, and hidden wealth for many years. ⑶ After a detailed investigation, the former tax bureau staff discovered this situation and sold it to the group as information. According to the agreement, a processing fee of 20 million won will be paid after the incident is completed. ⑷The name of this former tax bureau employee is KOBAYASHI. Is it his real name?unknown.

(5) Those five people doubted this information. ⑹ One of the five people is called Ah Tie, and the other is called KAWAKITA-kun. ⑺The five of them were penniless and seemed restless. "That's all?" the Totsukawa Police Department said after reading the excerpts written on the paper. "On the surface, it seems that we have learned a lot, but in fact, we have not grasped any strong clues." Nishimoto showed a bewildered expression. "I can't get a clear impression of that person named Ah Tie or KAWAKITA." "However, I found it interesting to study their targets. Since the last robbery, the bank's security work has been further strengthened, so they made a 180-degree turn and targeted the target. To the pachinko shop."

The young Shimizu detective said with emotion. "Because it is the money obtained from tax evasion and deception, if it is deposited in the bank, it is easy to be discovered by the tax bureau, so it is better to hide the gold nuggets or cash in your home or shop. If this group of people fancy the target, they will It's like stepping into a treasure mountain, and you will definitely be able to return home with a lot of rewards." The criminal policeman said with a smile. "Because it's the other party's ill-gotten wealth, even if you snatch it, you won't feel guilty on your conscience," Nishimoto said.

"Kamei-kun also has the same opinion. Moreover, the party who was robbed dared not tell the police about it. The so-called mute eats Coptis chinensis, and I know it." "We might as well focus our investigation on this target shop with 400 machines and 20 employees." "Yes, this homework must be done first. However, it may not necessarily be exactly 400 machines and 20 people. You must be mentally prepared for this." "So, is the scope of the investigation limited to Tokyo?" "No, it should include the suburbs of Tokyo. Recently, there have been many pachinko shops with parking lots in the suburbs. For example, Saitama and Chiba prefectures, which have become satellite towns of Tokyo, need to conduct a detailed investigation." Totsugawa Police Department Said.

After Nishimoto and others left, Totsukawa visited the National Tax Agency alone.Walked into the investigation section, and made a detailed statement to the other party about the situation of the suspected pachinko shop. "Ah, that's not a problem with the investigation, it should be a flaw in the investigation." Assistant Section Chief Shiraki explained to Totsukawa. It turns out that the so-called inspection requires a search order from the court before it can conduct compulsory inspections on tax evasion targets.The so-called investigation is any investigation that can be done only with the consent of the other party.

"Because the investigation is a joint investigation by many people, it is impossible for a certain prosecutor to pretend not to see it. The situation that Totsukawa-kun said can only happen with random investigations. The staff of the tax offices in each region often Responsible for the tax investigation of a company in a certain area, because one person is doing the investigation, even if you know that a certain shop has tax evasion, you can treat it as not knowing.” "Can you help me to make a staff list of the recent resignation of the tax office in Tokyo and its surrounding areas?"

The Totsugawa Police Department made a request to Assistant Section Chief Shiraki. "This matter can be done immediately." "If possible, it is best to note the reason for resignation, and whether you have done investigation work on pachinko parlors..." Totsukawa Police Department added. The day after Shiraki notified the personnel department, a form of resignation within one year from the tax office in Tokyo and nearby Tokyo was faxed to Totsukawa. Three in Tokyo Two in Chiba Prefecture One person from Saitama Prefecture One in Kanagawa Prefecture There are seven in total.Regarding the reasons for resignation, naturally everyone has their own reasons.

Among the seven people, no one named KOBAYASHI could be found.But considering that the perpetrator is unwilling to reveal his real name, Totsukawa was not disappointed even though he did not have this name. Look at the notes on this form again. It turns out that there are pachinko parlors under the jurisdiction of any tax office. It is estimated that every resignee has investigated pachinko parlors. In fact, even if there is no order from their superiors, they will Feel free to do research. The statement in the footnote hits Totsukawa's wishes.That's right, the suspected employees went to investigate the pachinko shop without the order of their superiors, and found out that the other party concealed income and evaded taxes.However, he did not expose the secret publicly, nor did he warn the pachinko parlor.Instead of asking for the money back for the country, it is better to try to get it into your own pocket.So he quickly resigned to the tax bureau and approached Gao Tianhong.

Nishimoto et al. conducted a detailed survey of pachinko parlors in Tokyo and its surrounding areas. Shops with 400 machines are large-scale pachinko shops, so the number is limited. "I can't find a shop with exactly 400 machines and 20 staff. This is because for a shop of this nature, the turnover of practitioners is very high. There are 20 staff at a time, but one It may be increased to 30 staff members in a month, and it may be reduced to 15 staff members on the contrary. Therefore, only stores with 400 unloading and unloading machines can be written." Nishimoto reported to Totsukawa.

In his notebook is written the names of twelve pachinko parlors. Only a few are located in central Tokyo, and most are located in the suburbs.This is because the rent in the city center is expensive, and it is difficult to find a place where 400 machines can be installed. During the conversation between Kamei and the woman, the woman once said to Kamei’s cliché, “That’s the name of the only store that is very rare in Japan.” Examining the twelve store names written in the notebook, there are several with the same name throughout Japan: king VIP crown sun hawaii monaco Casino new player

Nishimoto got a list of pachinko shops in East Japan compiled by the pachinko industry, and found that although the two shops "Monaco" and "King" have no other chain stores, there are many shops with the same name but different owners. Among the twelve pachinko parlors, Totsugawa puts the most emphasis on the following three pachinko parlors. life route 2001 cash box The Totsugawa Police Department has been to the pachinko shop called "Life Theater" in Kanda several times many years ago. Seeing the name "Life Route" can not help but recall the past. "2001" is apparently derived from the name of a science fiction movie. "Money box" means that you have made a lot of money and lured you to participate in gambling games. It is not yet clear whether the store targeted by the attack is one of these three stores. First, let's start by investigating the operators of these three stores. To do this, it is necessary to visit the tax office that has jurisdiction over the three stores. Nishimoto and others went to Chofu Tax Office, Nishi Funabashi Tax Office, and Urawa Tax Office to learn about the situation. The Totsugawa Police Department is looking for employees who have resigned from the three tax offices. The list of resignations from the taxation department in the past year is already in Totsukawa's hands, and he only needs to check it. It was found that one employee each of the Chofu Tax Office in Tokyo and the Nishi-Funabashi Tax Office in Chiba had resigned. Urawa Tax Office has no resignation.However, Totsukawa did not exclude the Urawa Tax Office from suspicion, because although there were no resigners within a year, those who resigned before that cannot be ignored. The name of the resigner from the Chofu Taxation Office was Tetsu Kondo, who was twenty-nine years old. After graduating from S University, he passed the senior civil servant examination and entered the Ministry of Finance. After receiving a period of training and internship, he was assigned to work at the Chofu Tax Office.But four years later, he suddenly resigned. As for the resignee from the Nishi-Funabashi Taxation Office, his name is Hajime Sawano, forty-five years old, and a veteran employee who has no prospects for promotion. It was necessary to conduct a secret identity investigation on the two, and Sawano, who had resigned from the Nishi-Funabashi Tax Office, mainly asked the Chiba Prefectural Police Department to assist in the investigation. After issuing work instructions to the four subordinates of Nishimoto, Kusaka, Shimizu, and Mitamura, Totsukawa picked up the phone to contact Kamei. First, he told Kamei about the three suspected pachinko parlors and the two resigners, and then asked, "Did that group call you again after that?" "No, not at all. It's probably still in discussion. This group of people is very cautious." "The next time you call, you might as well act a little uneasy." "Oh! What did you say?" "Didn't the other party doubt what the former tax office employee named KOBAYASHI said?" "Yes. The main suspicion is whether there are hundreds of millions of dollars hidden in that pachinko shop." "Didn't you answer that there is absolutely no problem, and you want that woman to rest assured?" "That's right. I'm sure that fake Takata will say the same thing." "The next time you talk on the phone, I hope you will pretend to be slightly uneasy. In this way, this group of people may be eager to meet and discuss with you, no, with the fake Takata." The Totsugawa Police Department suggested. "But thinking about it the other way around, once they lose their trust, will they simply make their own plans and stop contacting me?" "Indeed, this possibility is not impossible. But I think this is a gamble. At least find a way to get closer to them." "Understood, I will follow your instructions." "Needless to say, the details depend entirely on Agui's ingenuity. It's the same as fishing. If you can't manipulate the baited hook skillfully, the fish won't take the bait; if you do it clumsily, the fish will turn around and run away." It's gone. Now it's up to your fishing skills." Totsugawa Police Department said. "If we can find out the identity of the former tax office employee named KOBAYASHI that the woman said as soon as possible, things will be easier to handle." "I understand. We are doing our best to find this person." "Oh, forgot to report one thing." "What's up?" "I went fishing at the beach today, and I finally caught a grouper. The Tathagata of the police department is here, and I invite you to eat seafood."
