Chapters 1266 and 1275, representing justice and fairness, expose you!!
August is halfway over, and it's the hottest time of the year.
At Narita International Airport, a white Gulfstream jet landed slowly and then, under the control of the tower, slowly drove into a specially reserved hangar.
Not long after, a driver pushing luggage and a cat carrier emerged from the special passage, followed by a tall man carrying a child and a woman wearing sunglasses walking a Labrador.
The silver-gray Rolls-Royce Silver Spur drove out of the airport parking lot and nimbly disappeared into the hustle and bustle of Tokyo like a live fish.
"Ah, I'm finally back!"
Naoki Nagayama sighed as he finally returned to the familiar Yama-oka-in.
The room was already heated by air conditioning, set at a comfortable 26 degrees Celsius. Stepping inside, I felt a refreshing coolness.
A white figure darted past. After returning home, Eitaro was so excited that he rushed off to his den.
"Flower jam".
Naoki Nagayama led Natsuka, who was walking on the ground, by the hand.
"You went out for a while, do you still remember the house? Do you remember your favorite sofa and little bed?"
"~~Send~~"
Xia Hua pointed excitedly at the sofa in the living room and took a few quick steps to run over. Putting everything else aside, her balance while walking has improved a lot in the past two weeks on the island.
Seeing the little one on the living room carpet, Naoki Nagayama was less worried and turned to talk to the nanny, Mari Nonaka:
"Hua Jiang sat on the plane for more than two hours without sleeping, but she looks very energetic now. I guess she'll fall asleep soon."
"Hi," Nonaka Mari nodded. "I'll give Hana-chan some water and then put her to sleep."
"Um"
Turning around, Akina was already instructing the butler, Afuku, and the driver, Toda Tomoyasu, to move their suitcases and other belongings into the house.
Although this trip to Jurassic Island wasn't a tourist attraction, I still brought back quite a few things, such as a necklace made of seashells I found, local seafood from the Seto Inland Sea, and other miscellaneous gifts and other items.
After taking Nyantaro out of the cat carrier, Akina began to tidy up.
"These are gifts for friends in the industry."
Due to scheduling conflicts, both Kyoko Koizumi and Yukiko Okada missed the party. There was nothing that could be done about it; they are just entertainers and don't have the same freedom as Akina.
"These are for my older brothers and sisters, as well as for lighting and Xiao Ai."
Naoki Nagayama picked up a dinosaur-shaped buoy, a specialty product from the post-Jurassic Island era:
"Ah, this is for my older brother. I forgot to have Mother and the others take it back."
"Brother Aoki, is Sister-in-law Xiangjia about to give birth?" Akina asked, looking up. "I'll bring her along when I visit her."
"Yes, the due date is this week."
Naoki Nagayama carefully stored the buoy, intending to take it with him when he returned to Shizuoka in a few days.
Watching Akina deftly pack her luggage, Naoki Nagayama advised:
"You just got back, why are you in such a hurry to tidy up? Take a rest first."
"No, that won't do," Akina said, looking up with a smile. "Ken-on is in a hurry, so I'm going to go check on them this afternoon. That's why I'm picking out the gifts I want to give to Maki and Hanami in advance."
Naoki Nagayama knew that Akina was going out that afternoon. After all, the pre-release promotion for "Nanpasen" had started a few days ago, and the leaked recordings had been shown on some programs. The song's completely different style from previous songs quickly aroused the curiosity of the audience and fans.
Akina also received a call from Ken-On, and she needed to quickly discuss her upcoming music show appearances with her agency.
"Oh, right."
Akina suddenly said,
"I have to attend a training course tonight!"
"Oh, a duet with Michael Jackson?"
"Hi~" Akina looked apologetically at Natsuka sitting on the sofa next to her, "I might not be back until very late tonight and won't be able to comfort Hana-chan."
Naoki Nagayama glanced at the little guy who was drinking water and looking around, then shook his head.
"Judging by how excited she is, maybe Akina is still awake since you're back!"
"If she's not asleep, let's try to lull her to sleep again."
Akina smiled and looked at Naoki Nagayama.
"Naoki-san, I'm counting on you for the flower sauce this afternoon~"
"Well, leave it to me!"
Anyway, Naoki Nagayama doesn't have anything to do if he doesn't go to the company.
After noon, under the scorching summer sun, even the most hardworking and ambitious people have to retreat to the shade for a short rest.
At the headquarters of Ken-On, nothing important was happening at this time, and the atmosphere was heavy and subdued, with even the sound of people talking much less.
However, a car quickly pulled up outside the glass doors, and then, as if a switch had been flipped, the office building suddenly became lively.
"Akina-chan is here!" "Akina-chan is back from vacation!" "She even brought a gift!"
The murmurs started at the front desk and went all the way to the president's office, which Hanami He heard and he quickly came out.
Inside the office area, Akina was seen distributing small gifts she had brought back to the employees.
"This is a specialty of Ehime Prefecture, Ehime mandarins."
Akina offered everyone some Ehime tangerines she brought back, and upon seeing Hanami Kagami, she gave him the Iyo floral fabric she had specially brought back.
"Hanami-san, this is Iyo floral fabric from Ehime Prefecture, perfect for making kimonos and fabric crafts."
"Arigado~"
Hanami Kagami naturally accepted the gift, and then took Akina to his office to talk.
"How was your vacation on that island in the Seto Inland Sea? Ah, Jurassic Island!"
"Haha, it's all tropical beaches, kind of like Hawaii," Akina said with a laugh. "But there aren't any golf courses or anything like that."
"What, it hasn't been built yet?"
Golf, which originated from abroad, has always been considered a sport for the wealthy. Hanami Kagami believes that if Naoki Nagayama were on his own island, he would definitely build one.
"Without this plan, Jurassic Island would mainly consist of various dinosaur-themed parks and amusement facilities."
"Isn't that similar to Disneyland? When can we go and visit?"
"Haha, I guess we'll have to wait until my Naoki finishes filming 'Jurassic Park'."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Hanami Kagami finally got down to business.
"Akina, while you were on vacation, the popularity of 'BLONDE' has dropped considerably. In order to maintain our record of being on the charts for four consecutive years, we've released the recording of 'Nanpasen' ahead of schedule to start early promotion."
"Hey, I understand!" Akina was very understanding; she actually wanted to keep this record too. "Now that I'm back, let's just start promoting our songs."
"It's good that Akina understands." Hanami Kagami nodded. "So when can Akina return to work?"
"It can be done today!" Akina's eyes were firm. "I'm already back from vacation!"
"Then let's hold a publicity and planning meeting for 'The Damned Ship' this afternoon!"
"no problem!"
With Akina Nakamori as the core leader, the other supporting staff were naturally plentiful. At Hanami Kagami's summons, the staff from Akina's public relations department quickly arrived at the conference room.
"Akina is back from vacation, we need to immediately get to work on the promotion of 'The Lost Ship'!"
Yoshiaki Tanaka set the theme for the meeting.
"Our ultimate goal in planning this album is to win a record award!"
"Next, let's begin with Yuzo Shimada."
Akina sat in the first seat on the right, listening intently to the speeches of the key members, occasionally adding her own opinions.
"In terms of clothing style, the focus is on classic elegance; Western-style off-the-shoulder dresses and Japanese-style kimonos are both options."
"As for colors, darker tones are preferred, but for kimonos, pure white could be considered."
"In terms of stage presentation, the main focus is on conveying a sense of loneliness and fragmentation."
"The dance moves don't need to be too many; this song mainly focuses on the vocals and singing techniques."
"Promotional strategies." "Offline activities."
"."
At this moment, Akina, in the conference room, shed her coquettish, demure demeanor from home and fully displayed the aura of a career woman.
Meanwhile, Naoki Nagayama at Yamazakura-in was not in such a hurry to get to work.
After putting Xia Hua to sleep, he relaxed for a while in the living room, playing with Nyan Taro who was still high after inhaling catnip, patting the dog's head, and then sitting on the porch with chilled watermelon, leisurely enjoying the dry landscape garden in the yard.
Oh, and I also took a short nap~
Once he had fully recovered, he washed his face and went into his study.
Staring at the blank document on the computer screen, Naoki Nagayama silently closed his eyes and began searching his memories.
"Let me see how the Recruit bribery case actually started!"
While we were on the island, we decided to expose this case ahead of time. Now that we're back, it's time to make the necessary arrangements!
"So, it all started at the Recruit Corporation's Kawasaki Information Building in Kawasaki City~"
The fragmented memories in his mind quickly pieced together, allowing Naoki Nagayama to piece together the timeline of this major bribery case that dragged down two administrations.
It started with a real estate project in Kawasaki City, where a report alleged that Hideki Komatsu, the former head of the Planning and Coordination Bureau, had accepted bribes and illegally sold a plot of land to Recruit Corporation.
However, the police did not conduct a thorough investigation at first and simply terminated the case due to a lack of evidence.
Then the media, sensing the opportunity, tracked down and reported evidence of Licourt transferring shares to the bureau chief, but still failed to make a significant impact.
It wasn't until a mysterious figure suddenly revealed that Recruit had transferred shares to numerous social celebrities and high-ranking government officials that public opinion suddenly erupted, triggering a nationwide media storm and causing a shock throughout Japan.
Because this incident occurred during Japan's golden age of economic prosperity, involved bribery and politics, directly brought down two prime ministers and countless social elites, its impact was immense and legendary. Therefore, the discussions it has sparked have been ongoing for a long time.
Even in the internet age, countless netizens searched and investigated, digging up almost every aspect of the incident and discussing it on domestic forums, which is why Naoki Nagayama remembered it so vividly.
Naoki Nagayama ignored the irrelevant discussions and boasts, and tried hard to recall the specific information.
"Hideki Komatsu accepted bribes of 3 shares, profiting 1.2 million yen."
"Defense Agency Commissioner Kato accepted a bribe of 5000 shares, profiting 2000 million yen."
"Michio Watanabe, chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party's Policy Research Council, accepted a bribe of 5000 shares, profiting 2600 million yen."
"Former Education Minister Yoshiro Mori, Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa, LDP Secretary-General Shintaro Abe, and even Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone are among them."
"Ah, Takeshita Noboru. Iwate Long-Term Policy Consultation Meeting. 3000 million yen spent on banquet tickets."
"They also accepted 2500 million in political donations!"
"Also, during the prime ministerial campaign, his secretary, Ihei Aoki, borrowed 5000 million yen from Recruit Corporation."
Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes.
"This should have already been borrowed! After all, they've already started campaigning for prime minister!"
The entire Licourt bribery case spanned more than a decade, with the investigation itself and the subsequent public outcry taking two years!
The various obstacles and controversies it faced, not to mention the unknown forces behind it, were all part of a case involving almost all of the government's top officials, including two prime ministers.
If all the information were released at once, the first thought of the investigating authorities in the face of such a case would probably be to suppress it and eliminate all traces of the crime, at any cost!
After fully recalling the turmoil and dangers caused by the case, Naoki Nagayama regretted asking Yoshimura Otomo for the newspaper reporter's contact information.
It's not that we don't trust Otomo-san enough, but we should have eliminated the possibility of information leakage from the very beginning. Who knows if Yoshimura Otomo might talk in his sleep when he's drunk!
"That's why it should have been kept completely secret from the beginning, and handled entirely by me alone!"
"Even the previous project that led to Tree Friends Capital's complete withdrawal from Likuluite seemed somewhat deliberate!"
However, only Yuan Tai-san and I know about the internal decisions. The other staff members are just following the procedures, so it shouldn't be a problem. They certainly won't connect it to future troubles.
"We can't let Otomo-san's friend leak information. But we can't completely cut off contact either, lest Otomo-san become suspicious. Let's just have him report on things the Film Association doesn't need to control, as a cover-up."
Naoki Nagayama looked at the information in the document and began to think silently.
"As for the Licourt bribery case, information needs to be released step by step, allowing public opinion to expand gradually, until politicians can no longer cover it up and are ultimately forced to stand in the sunlight and face public condemnation."
"Before this, I cannot tell anyone else this information—not Akina, not Otomo-san, not Shuichi-san. I cannot reveal any of it!"
"Complete confidentiality is required when disclosing information."
In fact, Naoki Nagayama only needed to get started, and then journalists and media outlets seeking the truth would naturally investigate. However, in order to accelerate the outbreak of public opinion, he also needed to give it a push at certain key junctures!
"first step."
Naoki Nagayama looked at the first line of the message.
"Let's start with this small project, Director Komatsu Hideki!"
"Director Hideki Komatsu, the Planning Bureau is such a lucrative position, and you still accept bribes, you have absolutely no bottom line!"
Naoki Nagayama recorded his information separately, while deleting the rest. His own brain was the safest storage tool!
Just then, Naoki Nagayama saw the draft of Sailor Moon he had drawn earlier, and the illustration of Sailor Moon saying "In the name of the moon, I will punish you" appeared before his eyes.
"Now, let me represent justice and fairness to expose you!"
