[The world line has converged—you have chosen branch two]
Bank deposits increased by 5 yen.
Current bank account balance: ¥1,581,200
Just after 3 p.m., the three returned to the Osaka branch of Mitsubishi Bank.
The moment the subordinates in the financing review department saw Masakazu Yamada's face, they knew something was wrong.
No one asked any questions. Several senior employees who were sitting close together simply got up silently and cleared out the small meeting area at the very back.
Stacks of documents were piled up on the table.
Last autumn, Higashi Osaka Seiko's loan application, guarantee registration, equipment quotation, supplier list, personal asset declaration submitted by Hara Shozo, spouse information, corporate account statements, and details of loan usage were all dug up.
Chihaya Yuri spread out the folder.
But just as Masakazu Yamada hung his suit jacket on the back of the chair, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
A young staff member from the general affairs department ran to the door, panting, his forehead covered in sweat.
Section Chief Yamada 7
"What is it?"
"People from the Osaka National Tax Bureau have come downstairs."
The meeting area fell silent.
Masakazu Yamada frowned: "Osaka National Tax Bureau?"
The Osaka National Tax Bureau is a national agency responsible for tax administration in the Osaka Prefecture area.
Its core functions are to collect national taxes and investigate tax violations, and it has the power of compulsory investigation into suspected tax evasion, asset concealment and other similar acts.
"right."
The employee swallowed hard. "They said it was a surprise inspection. The team leader is Mr. Taki Hanayama, an investigator from the National Tax Service, who is already in the branch manager's office. The Matsumoto branch manager has asked the Finance Review Division to prepare for cooperation immediately."
Kiryu Yaya raised his head.
Huashan Institute of Waterfall.
The moment that name entered our ears, the air seemed to tighten.
Masakazu Yamada didn't act immediately, but first asked, "How many people did you bring?"
"There were five tax investigators and assistants in total. They also brought documents to retrieve."
Chihaya Yuri slowly closed the document in her hand, her brows furrowing.
"A surprise inspection at this time—"
Masakazu Yamada muttered a curse under his breath, then turned around and straightened his tie.
"Let's go there first."
As the three of them approached the entrance to the financing review office, a series of orderly footsteps echoed down the corridor outside.
Soon, a group of people came into view.
The man walking at the front was very young, so young that he didn't even seem to fit the description of an IRS investigator.
A black suit, a white shirt, a red tie, and slightly messy long brown hair.
The light shone down from the ceiling of the corridor, casting a light shadow on his face, making his fair complexion appear excessively pale.
"Section Chief Yamada."
He was holding a black notebook. He stopped and bowed slightly.
"Osaka National Tax Bureau, Taki Hanayama. I apologize for bothering you today."
Matsumoto Takahiro stood to the side, his expression relatively calm.
Masakazu Yamada returned the greeting.
"Investigator of Hanayama Institute"
Hanayama-in Taki handed over the documents he was holding: "There's a suspected tax case related to SME financing, and we need to conduct a temporary review of some recent loan disbursement data from the Osaka branch. Due to time constraints, we didn't schedule an appointment in advance."
"We hope your bank will cooperate."
Although he said he "hoped to cooperate," no one present would actually take that as "hope."
When IRS officials came to the bank with documents, the bank had no choice but to cooperate.
Masakazu Yamada took the document, glanced at it, and felt a slight sinking feeling in his heart.
Hanayama-in Taki seemed to sense his emotions and smiled gently.
"Please rest assured, we will only review the parts relevant to the case and will not expand the scope without cause."
After he finished speaking, his gaze lightly swept over the pile of unfinished documents on the table in the small conference area.
"If possible, I'd like to use this place for now."
The air suddenly felt even heavier.
On that table were the things they had just brought back from Higashi-Osaka.
Equipment acceptance form, asset declaration, and Kajiwara Shozo's corporate bank statements —
We haven't had time to investigate any of it in detail yet.
Yamada Masakazu's Adam's apple bobbed, but he could only manage to say, "Okay."
Kayama-in Taki nodded and stepped into the meeting area.
The clerks behind him immediately dispersed; some set up portable record boards, while others took out lists from their briefcases.
The entire movement was clean and swift, without a single unnecessary word.
Kiryu Yaya stood to the side, his gaze fixed on Hanayama-in Taki's face, without saying a word.
The more I looked, the more vigilant I became.
This person's arrival was too timely.
They had just returned from Higashi-Osaka Seiko and were just about to delve deeper into the Kajiwara Shozo line when the National Taxation Bureau officials came knocking.
Moreover, the target is "suspected tax-related cases involving financing of small and medium-sized enterprises".
At this point, an officer began reading the list.
"We need to retrieve several loan records for small and medium-sized manufacturing companies in the Higashi-Osaka area from last autumn to the present."
The numbers range from Rong No. 24201 to Rong Sai No. 24250.
Matsumoto Takahiro stood to the side, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Investigator Hanayama, these case numbers span a wide range. If it's just a temporary inspection, your bureau should at least tell us what type of cases you'd like to see. Otherwise, the file volume is too large, and the branch office can't make proper preparations beforehand."
Hanayama-in Taki smiled, as if he had expected him to ask this question. He turned around and said, "I'm sorry, it involves a tax investigation, so I can't disclose it. Please prepare these documents; we have plenty of time."
Matsumoto Takahiro nodded.
"Understood. The General Affairs Department, Financing Department, and Debt Management Department will coordinate together."
Kayama-in Taki nodded slightly and turned to walk into the small meeting area.
For the next half hour, the entire Osaka branch was spinning around in this numbered list.
The general affairs department went to the underground storage room to search through boxes, the debt management department checked the old recycling records, and the financing review department was responsible for checking the main case files one by one.
The corridor was filled with the sound of footsteps, the photocopier never stopped, and the fax machine would occasionally spit out a page or two to supplement the documents being retrieved.
Kiryu Yaya, Yamada Masakazu, and Chihaya Yuri were also dragged into this file transfer.
Stacks of files were moved onto the table.
Kayama-in Taki didn't say much, but simply instructed the clerk to check, register, and draw pages according to the numbers.
On the surface, it looks just like a routine check-up with a wide coverage.
It wasn't until evening that Huashan-in Taki finally closed the last file.
That's all for today.
He stood up, straightened his cuffs, and gave a slight bow to Matsumoto Takahiro.
"Thank you all for your hard work. We will contact you again if there are any further questions."
Matsumoto Takahiro could only force a smile and escort the person to the elevator.
Once the figures in black suits had completely disappeared at the end of the fifth-floor corridor, the entire branch seemed to collectively breathe a sigh of relief.
But this only provided partial relief.
Because everyone wanted to know what he was looking at.
This is related to whether the bank will get into trouble.
As soon as the door to the small meeting area on the fifth floor closed, Takahiro Matsumoto immediately turned around and looked towards the financing department.
"Go through the numbers we just retrieved again."
"I need to know what kind of cases these files he touched today are."
Yamada Masakazu responded and led Kiryu Yaya and Chihaya Yuri back to the third floor.
This time, there was no need to go through external procedures, which made things much faster.
The number, case name, loan amount, and current status were quickly compiled into a simple table.
As Yamada Masakazu held the chart, his expression grew increasingly grim.
"They're all bad debts."
Chihaya Yuri spread out another supplementary list, her voice cold.
"And these are not ordinary bad debts. Either they deteriorated quickly after the loans were issued, or the subsequent collection process uncovered false declarations, guarantee disputes, and changes in the use of funds."
Kiryu Yaya stood by the table, reading through the lines one by one.
A local development project in 1944.
A machinery company established in the second year of the Heisei era.
Two small and medium-sized enterprise financing deals in the third year of the Heisei era.
Next, continue.
His gaze stopped.
Next to the file number, it is clearly written—
Higashi Osaka Seiko Co., Ltd.
At that moment, the meeting area became eerily quiet.
Yamada Masakazu gently placed the paper on the table, looked up at Kiryu Yaya, then at Chihaya Yuri, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
"Could it be that the Osaka National Tax Bureau has also taken notice of this case?"
Kiryu Yaya didn't reply immediately, but his mind was racing.
He recalled that Kazan-in Taki had only checked the documents from beginning to end, without presenting any fake seizure orders or sealing orders, and without requesting the freezing of Hara Shozo's accounts or assets.
This indicates that the Osaka National Tax Bureau is currently in the very early stages of information gathering.
Lacking concrete evidence, they naturally did not take any legal control measures against the personal assets of Higashi-Osaka Seiko or Kajiwara Masazo.
For banks, this is both an opportunity and a countdown.
After these words were spoken, none of the three people said a word.
A moment later, Masakazu Yamada clearly thought of the same thing.
His eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice, "The IRS hasn't taken action yet. The assets are still free."
Chihaya Yuri immediately replied, "That means we still have a chance to get ahead."
If that's really the case.
That means they not only have to find out what assets Kajiwara Masazō is hiding, but also have to act before the Osaka National Tax Bureau formally applies for asset preservation.
Otherwise, if Hara Shozo's assets are frozen by the tax authorities, Mitsubishi Bank will be unable to recover its claims against Higashi-Osaka Seiko.
