Tokyo Detective

Chapter 215: Mayor is a High-Risk Occupation

In Honolulu, Hawaii, Naoki Hanyu had just finished his hospital check-up when he was questioned by two American departments.

Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board.

The Coast Guard is the main agency responsible for maritime safety and rescue, and is also responsible for investigating maritime accidents.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent federal agency that investigates all transportation-related accidents, including marine accidents.

There were two middle-aged people, a man and a woman. The man was named Brad De Niro and the woman was named Catherine Pitt.

"Mr. Hanyu, please take a seat. This meeting is just a simple conversation. We hope to learn about some of your escape experiences. Please recall from the time when the tsunami arrived."

"No problem at all."

Apart from concealing the fact that he was the one who blew up the boat, Naoki Hanyu actually told the whole story truthfully, even the final explosion.

The expressions of the two people opposite remained stable, and it was obvious that they had already learned about it from other people.

After the questioning, Brad De Niro and Naoki Hanyu shook hands and said goodbye.

"Thank you Mr. Hanyu for your cooperation. We have to say that if it weren't for you, the other survivors might not have been able to escape. We will inform the outside world of this disaster and your contribution truthfully."

"sorry to bother you."

In fact, Brad and Catherine may not necessarily want to reduce the contribution of Naoki Hanyu. After all, he is just a yellow man and not a citizen of the country.

But Ivanka, a big shot, insisted that the credit was Naoki Hanyu's, and even Mexico's diplomat Roputte Alba agreed, so the idea of giving some of the credit to their own countrymen was dispelled.

The most important thing now is to investigate the final explosion. According to the investigation and salvage by the Coast Guard, the entire cruise ship was blown into several sections. It stands to reason that the cruise ship's oil depot could not produce such power. If we also associate it with what Naoki Hanyu said about picking up explosives.

The only possibility is that someone unknowingly hid a large amount of explosives on the cruise ship for unknown reasons. It could be illegal smuggling, or it could be intended to blow up someone, or more likely, the intention was to blow up the entire ship.

Regardless, the opponent's plan was not implemented because the tsunami destroyed the entire ship, and even the owner was probably killed.

By the way, they also need to talk to the former first princess, because her father was also attempted assassination yesterday. He was shot with a sniper rifle on the podium at the rally. Fortunately, Chuan Jian himself was moving around while giving a speech, so he was not shot in the head but was hit in the ear.

However, the former president's subsequent response was unexpected. He did not run away, but waved his arms high when the bodyguards wanted to escort him away, causing a sensation at the scene. This scene was photographed by a reporter and posted online, accompanied by the words "God Bless America". In just one day, it became a famous painting that shocked the world.

It has to be said that Trump's performance made Brad De Niro, an old white man who leans towards the Democratic Party, feel a little admiration in his heart.

The general idea is to have this kind of backbone, not be an old guy who has trouble getting on a plane.

Therefore, Trump's approval ratings are rising, and his chances of winning the election are very high, forcing the entire America to reconsider its attitude towards the former president, and even Ivanka, who has fallen out of favor, has to pay some attention.

Naoki Hanyu was lying on the bed getting ready to go to sleep when suddenly someone rang the doorbell. When he opened the door, he was surprised because the person was Ivanka, who was wrapped tightly.

Wearing a mask and glasses, a white sleeveless sweater, a tight skirt and a pair of black stockings, I have to say that she looks good in anything with this figure.

"How did you come?"

"Aren't you going to let me sit in for a while?"

Naoki Hanyu looked around and he could feel that there were surveillance cameras here.

"There are surveillance cameras here, which may expose our relationship."

Ivanka didn't care about that and just pushed the door open and walked in.

"I am a widow now and I am not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

"Yes, yes, you have the final say, so why did you come here?"

"I'm scared and want to hold you while sleeping."

Is it a psychological disorder?
Most people who encounter serious shipwrecks are likely to develop psychological disorders, the most common of which is phobia, such as thalassophobia.

The patient experiences extreme fear and anxiety when facing deep sea or deep water environments. This fear may be caused by personal shipwreck experiences.

As for how to treat it, I don’t know since he is not a psychiatrist.

Naoki Hanyu didn't say anything, he just pulled up the quilt and made an invitation.

"Come in, I'm a little tired today and don't want to move."

"kindness."

With the fragrance of the wind blowing in her face, Ivanka, wearing only underwear, got into the quilt and then hugged Hanyu Naoki tightly, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.

Ivanka felt wrapped in the man's breath, her body was warm, and the strong heartbeat made her feel inexplicably at ease. The images of the corpses that kept appearing in her mind gradually faded, and her breathing became steady. Before dawn, Hanyu Naoki was suddenly awakened by some strange feeling, very warm, and when he opened his eyes, he saw only Ivanka's hips.

At noon the next day, the hotel where the shipwreck survivors were staying was surrounded by reporters. Most of them were reporters from other companies stationed in Hawaii, and some large media companies also sent people to fly in from far away.

This is not an ordinary shipwreck, it is a disaster more serious than an airplane crash.

In the past 100 years, there have been less than 10 cruise ship accidents, and only three of them resulted in the death of more than 1000 people. Moreover, the most recent one was more than 3 years ago. I never expected to encounter one today.

The first shipwreck was the Titanic in 1500, with more than 1912 deaths.

The second shipwreck was the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff, which was captured by the John Bull fisherman during World War II. More than 10000 of the 9000 refugees on board died in 1945.

The third incident was the collision of the Dunabaz in 4000, which collided with an oil tanker and caught fire and sank, killing all 1987 passengers.

The Pele is the only large cruise ship in history to be destroyed in the center of a tsunami. If its bow had been facing the waves at the time, the tragedy would not have happened.

It was also because of bad luck that the name of the goddess Pelle suddenly became a taboo in the shipping industry. The volcano goddess would bring natural disasters and tsunamis to offenders.

Of course, in addition to reporters, there were also many relatives of the victims who rushed there. They wanted to salvage the bodies of their loved ones, but it was very difficult to find a body in the vast ocean. Not to mention whether it would be blown to pieces, the fish, crabs and shrimps in the sea really like to eat dead meat.

Soon a press conference about the shipwreck began, led by the local government and the Coast Guard, and nearly 13 survivors were also present.

In Naoki Hanyu's eyes, most people had dark circles under their eyes. It was not only because the horrific experience on the ship was hard to forget for a while, but also because there was a faint black mist attached to their bodies that could dissipate at any time.

Perhaps this is the curse from the ghosts of the ghost ship, making the survivors unable to sleep well.

After the government officials finished speaking, it was soon the turn of the survivors to recount their experiences of the shipwreck. The government characterized the entire incident as a natural disaster, but did not mention the explosion too much, only saying that it had hit the oil depot.

When it came to the question-and-answer session, reporters gradually asked questions to the survivors. The questions from other people were fine, until Naoki Hanyu's questions became thorny. Maybe he was the only yellow person among the survivors, or maybe he was the one who performed the best.

"Mr. Hanyu, based on other people's descriptions, you are a hero. But I have one question that I don't understand. Since you have the ability, why don't you save more people? In fact, if you convince others, you can also leave safely."

Naoki Hanyu shook his head in rejection.

"No, I'm not a hero. I'm just a survivor in a natural disaster. The first mate thought we could hold out until support arrived, so he persuaded everyone in the casino to stay. Apparently his assessment was wrong, and in the end only the 13 of us were willing to take the risk. In fact, we didn't know if we would succeed after leaving the casino. Perhaps a leaky wire or a little bit of seawater could kill us."

Naoki Hanyu did not lie. It was the first mate who persuaded the other tourists to stay. However, after he mentioned this, perhaps the conscientious first mate will have to endure cyber violence even after his death.

The reporter doesn't want to hear this. He would rather hear content that brings the so-called heroes down from the altar. This is what everyone likes to see.

"But you do have the ability. Your job is a policeman and you are supposed to save ordinary people. I heard that you killed many people in Neon. Don't you want to save people?"

At this moment Ivanka interrupted the reporter.

"This gentleman has gone too far. Mr. Hanyu followed the instructions of the Neon Police and was responsible for protecting me. He not only saved me but also others. He has done a good job. Please don't slander him."

"But."

The official interrupted the reporter.

"Next person."

The press conference ended quickly, and Naoki Hanyu and others had to stay until tomorrow to attend the shipwreck memorial service. As survivors, they had this obligation.

At night, Naoki Hanyu and Loput Alba were drinking beer and looking at the sky. They had become friends after having collaborated in an escape.

Ropute Alba asked as he drank half a bottle of beer in one gulp.

"Hanyu, what are you going to do when you return? I think it's a waste to be a policeman with your current conditions. What are your plans for the future?"

Naoki Hanyu lay on a recliner looking at the starry sky.

"I'm not short of money, but I've been a police officer for more than two years and I'm not used to doing anything else. How about you?"

"As for me, I plan to return to my hometown of Guatemala, Mexico, and run for mayor."

Naoki Hanyu looked at the man next to him in surprise. The other person spoke with an extremely serious expression and did not seem to be joking, but being a mayor of Mexico is a high-risk job.

In just 10 years, more than 30 mayors who publicly expressed their willingness to fight against criminal groups were killed by drug cartels. Looking at the entire modern history, there may be more than 120 mayors killed by drug dealers in Mexico. Of course, the exact number is only known by certain people. It can be said that this is the only country with a very high mortality rate of mayors.

Naoki Hanyu thought that Loput Alba was a smart person and would not do anything stupid, so he joked.

"Then you have to be careful not to go against the drug dealers. I don't want my friends to have their heads cut off and put in the car by drug dealers. The drug dealers over there are very vicious."

They are more than just ferocious. Their weapons and equipment are not much worse than those of regular troops. When they get ruthless, they even use ordinary people as human shields. Even the Mexican army can't do anything to them.
