Because all the relevant account books and debt bonds issued by military men from Choshu were burned away then, the truth of the incident was not clarified and the investigation ended with punishment of the accounting manager of the Ministry of Army Mamoru FUNAKOSHI.
その際、関係する帳簿と長州系軍人の借金証文類も焼き払われた為、事件の真相は解明されることなく、陸軍省会計監督長船越衛の処分をもって収束する。
