Chapter 105 Abeno's Apartment [25th Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]
Upon hearing the name Kajiwara Masazō, there was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.
The next second, Kenichiro Nomura almost immediately exploded.
"That bastard?!"
"How could I not remember?!"
"I'd recognize him even if he were ashes!"
Kiryu Yaya's gaze narrowed slightly.
"You hate him that much?"
"hatred?"
Kenichiro Nomura sneered, his voice suddenly rising considerably.
"That guy treated people like fools, I can't even hate him enough!"
"Last year, Higashi Osaka Seiko owed Fuji Metals 20 million yen. They kept delaying payment and in the end, they didn't even give a decent explanation. They just said that the company was in financial difficulty and that we should bear it ourselves."
"And the result?"
"As a result, he took our payment and used it to support women, buy houses, and buy gold!"
"How can I not curse someone like that?!"
Kiryu Yaya's fingers tightened slightly as he gripped the receiver, his heart skipping a beat.
"President Nomura, the woman you just mentioned—have you met her?"
There was a pause on the other end of the phone.
"I've met him once or twice. A couple of months ago, Kajiwara got drunk and insisted on taking me to a club in Kitashinchi, saying he wanted to introduce me to someone."
"What was that woman's name again—I think it was—"
Kenichiro Nomura thought for a few seconds: "Saeko? — Although she's a bit older, she's good-looking, and you can tell what's going on at a glance."
"Do you know where she lives?"
"How would I know?"
Kenichiro Nomura replied simply.
"Kajiwara may boast, but he's very shrewd when it comes to these things; he rarely talks about them. However..."
He paused for a moment, then said, "I know a few people who are close to Kajiwara. If I really want to ask, I should be able to find out."
Kiryu Yaya paused slightly in his breathing.
"President Nomura, I would be very grateful if you could help me find out."
"It's no problem to ask around."
Kenichiro Nomura's tone suddenly turned serious: "But Kiryu-san, you have to tell me first, why do you suddenly want to investigate Kajiwara Shozo?"
Kiryu Yaya remained silent for two seconds.
"Higashi-Osaka Seiko borrowed one billion yen from our bank, and now they can't repay it."
"We suspect he has hidden a large amount of assets. The apartment in Abeno is very likely registered under his mistress's name."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"One billion?"
Kenichiro Nomura's voice suddenly lowered, as if he was stunned by the number.
But just two seconds later, the suppressed emotions in his heart erupted like a volcano.
"One billion?!"
"He owes us 20 million and keeps delaying payment, which has bankrupted me. I'm now begging and pleading with loan sharks everywhere."
"So he's got a billion in his hands?!"
Kenichiro Nomura's voice had completely changed, and anger exploded from the receiver.
"Kiryu-san, tell me, didn't that guy transfer the money out a while ago?!"
"At present, it seems very likely."
"You bastard—"
'
Kenichiro Nomura growled on the other end of the phone, "I'm telling you, Kiryu-san! I can't tolerate this!"
"What is twenty million to him? It's nothing! But he'd rather watch me die than pay me back that little bit of money!"
Kiryu Yaya didn't respond, but just listened quietly.
Kenichiro Nomura took a few breaths, and his voice became calmer.
"Kiryu-san."
"I'll definitely find out where that woman lives for you."
"It's not just for you, it's for myself too."
"I, Kenichiro Nomura, may not be a big shot, but I can't swallow this humiliation."
"That guy has money but won't pay back, causing me to go bankrupt, and he's living a carefree life. I'm determined to help him find him!"
Upon hearing this, Kiryu Yaya's lips curved slightly into a smile.
"President Nomura, thank you."
"Don't thank me."
Kenichiro Nomura's voice held a fierce edge, clenched teeth: "If you want to thank me, wait until we find that woman. By the way, how can I contact you if I have any news? It's not convenient to call the bank if it's too late."
Kiryu Yaya gave the apartment's landline number.
Kenichiro Nomura repeated it, and after confirming that it was correct, he took a deep breath.
"Wait for my news."
The phone hangs up.
Kiryu Yaya put the receiver back, leaned back in his chair, and slowly exhaled.
Then, glancing at the still-busy financing review department, he called out softly, "Um—I've found a clue."
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
Masakazu Yamada looked up.
"What did you say?"
Kiryu Yaya said calmly, "We've found a clue."
"The president of Higashi-Osaka Seiko, Masazo Kajiwara, owes Fuji Metals 20 million yen and hasn't paid it back. Mr. Kenichiro Nomura of Fuji Metals just told me that."
He paused, his gaze slowly sweeping across the office, drawing everyone's attention to him.
Kiryu Yaya continued, "Kajiwara Masazō has an apartment in Abeno and is keeping a mistress. That apartment is very likely registered under her name."
"Mr. Kenichiro Nomura has promised me that he will help the bank find out the apartment address."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Even Chihaya Yuri, who had just been flipping through documents, stopped what she was doing.
Yamada Masakazu stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly leaned back in his chair and let out a low laugh.
"You bastard—"
He raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
"He's a natural debt collector."
Kenta Sasaki stood in the doorway, opened his mouth, and after a long pause, finally managed to squeeze out, "Section Chief, is that considered a compliment?"
"Calculate."
Masakazu Yamada's voice wasn't loud, and he quickly resumed his usual crisp and efficient rhythm.
"Having a clue is better than searching blindly."
"However, we can't place all our hopes on President Nomura. Everyone should continue searching for clues."
"We can only win this battle!"
After Masakazu Yamada finished speaking, everyone in the office seemed to be reignited by his words and started to move.
Time passed second by second.
After half an hour.
The phone rang abruptly.
"Ring ring—"
""
The people who were engrossed in flipping through the documents looked up almost simultaneously.
Kiryu Yaya immediately grabbed the receiver: "This is the Financial Review Department of Mitsubishi Bank Osaka Branch, Kiryu."
On the other end of the phone, there was a slight panting.
Then, Kenichiro Nomura lowered his voice, but it still couldn't hide the fierce determination in his voice.
"Kiryu-san, we've found him."
"Did you get the address?"
"I found out."
Kenichiro Nomura paused, as if confirming the address in his mind before reciting it word by word.
"No. 12-5, Showa-cho 3-chome, Abeno-ku."
Kiryu Yaya's gaze sharpened slightly.
Are you sure?
"It's basically confirmed."
"That Kajiwara guy goes there quite often."
"I also asked about something else."
Kenichiro Nomura sneered.
"He said the house wasn't registered under Kajiwara's name, but under a woman's."
"But Kajiwara paid for the mortgage, renovations, and down payment."
"If you go now, you'll most likely run into someone."
The phone hangs up.
Kiryu Yaya then turned around and looked at everyone in the conference area: "Found it."
"No. 12-5, Showa-cho 3-chome, Abeno-ku."
