Tokyo Detective

Chapter 271 Police vs. Drug Dealers

With the police officers gone, the group of troublemakers in the port area reunited. If they were calm and collected not long ago, they were now filled with panic.

Ryo Iijima, the second-in-command of the High Public Prosecutors Office, sighed.

“I just inquired with someone and found out that Miyake Tatee killed Irie Kaito, and the evidence is conclusive.”

Hayato Ono's tone was full of surprise and doubt.

"As far as I know, they've been best friends since childhood. It's impossible for Miyake Tatsue to do it. It's probably Shiratori Ten'ei who did it, right?"

"I don't know the details, but I won't get involved in the rest. Some people are monsters who live on the edge."

Yes, things have escalated beyond the boundaries they've been playing; the enemy is truly relentless.

"I am Asuka Tamayama, Director of the Resource Planning Department of the General Affairs Bureau of the National Police Agency," he said coldly.

"What's wrong, Mr. Iijima? Are you backing down now? You're from the prosecutor's office, are you really not going to help poor Miyake?"

Iijima Ryo gave an irrelevant answer.

"Both the Supreme Prosecutor's Office and the Supreme Court have people watching the case. How can I help? What's the point of our circle? To support each other, to make money together, and what good is winning if we keep fighting? Could the next unlucky one be you or me?"

"."

Hayato Ono sighed. In the end, their community of shared interests lacked cohesion. They would go their separate ways as soon as they encountered some setbacks, and now things had escalated to a much bigger point.

“We can turn enemies into friends with Shiratori Tenmei. Even though he is not one of our own and becomes the vice minister, we can still be considered friends.”

"Turning enemies into friends is also a good approach."

"I agree."

"Agree."

"Agree."

The majority of the less than ten people agreed, no one wanted to continue being the first to stick their neck out, and no one cared about the unfortunate ones who died or went to jail.

Yushan Feiniao said sternly.

“I can support Shiratori Tenei as the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department, but he must also support me to become the director of the General Affairs Bureau or the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.”

"In that case, why don't you, Yushan, talk to Shiratori Ten'ei?"

Yushan Asuka nodded with a grim expression, after all, he had contributed the most to whoever the circle was supporting as the deputy head.

The following afternoon, Shiratori Ten'ei was reinstated, and Hanyu Naoki met with him in his office.

Although Shiratori Tenei was dressed the same as always, he had more wrinkles on his face and more gray hair on his head.

"Uncle Tianrong, you look much more haggard."

Shiratori Ten'ei touched his face.

"The rewards for enduring a little hardship are not small. This morning, Yushan Asuka came to see me and promised on behalf of some people that he would help me get the position of vice minister. In return, I will also help him out. From now on, we are all friends."

Naoki Hanyu was stunned. The other party surrendered so quickly; he had thought there would be a life-or-death struggle.

"congratulations."

"Haha, not bad. Of course, I won't take all the benefits. I can help you suggest what benefits you want. As long as it's not excessive, I believe they won't refuse."

"What's in it for me?"

Naoki Hanyu thought for a moment and then proposed something that he himself could not do.

"Could we request a second-tier national civil service exam exemption?"

Shiratori Ten'ei was convinced; even he wasn't qualified to get this thing unless America was involved, or the director intervened.

"Don't make things too difficult for them, let's find someone else."

"If they can't even get this done, then it seems that the so-called circle is just so-called."

"You little rascal, don't act innocent after getting the benefit."

What should I want? Money is useless to me, and the quota filled by the police inspector is a waste.

As the police chief, he has one nomination quota every year, and with his connections, it wouldn't be difficult for him to get one.

"I want a police inspector's recommendation for a position."

Shiratori Ten'ei refused.

"They can't give you one without a Superintendent of Police position. I'll give you a nomination after I'm promoted to Deputy Superintendent of Police, and then we'll find another one."

Alright, it seems Shiratori Tenei suspects that I was the one who committed the Miyake case.

In which area does the network have the greatest capability?

Shiratori Ten'ei wasn't entirely sure about the exact number of people in the circle either.

“The prosecutor’s office, the court, these judicial institutions, right?”

The judiciary is really of little use to me.

Naoki Hanyu suddenly thought of Toshiko Beppu from a while ago, and thought that it might be better to have someone from the judicial system on his side.

"I have a friend who is an assistant judge at the Daejeon District Court. Is it possible to promote her directly to a full judge?"

"I'll mention to them what your friend's name is."

"Beppu Toshiko."

Shiratori Ten'ei's expression turned strange upon hearing the name. He recognized her; after all, beautiful prosecutors were rare in the judicial system. "So you're the Beppu prosecutor. You wouldn't be thinking of betraying the Holy Son, would you?"

"Uncle Tianrong, what are you saying? Do I look like that kind of person? I just want to make more friends."

Shiratori Tensei gave up.

"Alright, alright, I won't interfere in your personal affairs. But do you remember what I said before? The position of head of the Third Investigation Division will be vacant next February. Do you want to stay in Kabukicho as the chief, or come back as a detective? With your reputation, you can take on this position."

"I'm not suited to sitting in an office; I'm better off back on the front lines."

In a way, the head of the Third Investigation Division is better than the Kabukicho Chief. For example, he has more opportunities to earn merit and more subordinates. The Third Division has nearly 300 people.

However, when it comes to which position is most desirable, the First Investigation Division is definitely the most tempting, with nearly 500 subordinates, and the ability to intervene in any serious criminal case that occurs in Tokyo.

With nearly 2000 police superintendents in Japan, the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department is definitely among the top 10 positions, which is why Shiratori Ten'ei, who once served as the head of the First Division, was able to rise to the position of head of the Criminal Investigation Department.

Naoki Hanyu flashed a bright smile.

"Uncle Tianrong, do you think I could be the head of the First Investigation Division?"

"roll."

Shiratori Ten'ei watched Naoki Hanyu leave the office, then sighed.

He originally intended to ask Naoki Hanyu if he was responsible for the Miyake case, as he felt he had gone too far. However, considering that he was a beneficiary of the situation, he ultimately swallowed his words.

What good is getting the answer? Maybe I'm just too rigid and inflexible.

People in his circle could frame him, so isn't it perfectly reasonable for Naoki Yuzuru to retaliate many times over, especially since it was all for his sake?

Just as Naoki Hanyu returned to the police station, another call came in from overseas; it was from Ropte Alba.

"Hey, Ropte, it should be late at night there. Is something wrong?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to chat with you. I heard from a former colleague that you've become the police chief. Congratulations!"

Naoki Hanyu laughed.

"Just a mere police chief? That's not enough to impress you, the mayor of Tepia. There are 200 million people in Tepia."

"This is a real problem."

As they chatted, Ropte Alba suddenly mentioned her daughter.

"Naoki, could you please keep an eye on Jessica for me from now on? If she meets a boyfriend, as her elder, could you also help me vet him? And..."

Naoki Hanyu found it increasingly strange and immediately interrupted.

"Stop, stop, stop! I'm only 67 years older than Jessica, so what kind of elder am I? And why do I hear the implication in what you're saying that you're entrusting her with your care?"

"Entrusting an orphan? No, you're overthinking it. Speaking of which, I've been to Kabukicho twice, and it's really quite nice."

I think it happened more than twice.

“Hahaha, who knows.”

The two talked for 30 minutes before hanging up. Naoki Hanyu stared at the screen, lost in thought. The words that Rupte Alba had once said, and now that he had indeed become mayor, made him unable to help but guess in a bad direction.

Regardless, it's someone else's business, and he has no right to criticize.

Meanwhile, Rupt Alba dialed another number, this time the state police chief.

"Tomorrow should be the start."

The following morning, Leon Hanks, the biggest drug lord in Nayatron and the most powerful "warlord" in Tepia, bid farewell to his wife Malena and their twin children.

"If you two behave well, Daddy will take you to the amusement park tomorrow, and we'll have the whole place to ourselves!"

"Thank you dad."

Two adorable children hugged and kissed their father as Malena, one of the survivors of the shipwreck, spoke softly.

"Be careful."

"Don't worry, although those big-time gangsters are very strong, this is Moxigua, and they can't run wild here."

"kindness."

Among global gangs, the Russian mafia may not be the strongest, but it certainly has a long and rich history.

Another thing that no other global gang can match is that it is the only gang that owns all industries, from small garbage dumps to high-tech companies.

Why wasn't Leon Hanks afraid of such a behemoth? Because he had over 1000 armed drug traffickers under his command, whose weapons were better than the country's army.

The Mexican Watermelon Army has only 13 troops, while the drug traffickers have as many as 10. Due to the disparity in weaponry, these Mexican Watermelon drug traffickers gradually developed into warlords.
.
At the docks of Tepia, Leon Hanks personally led a team to inspect a large quantity of drug precursors, including opium, marijuana, and coca leaves (the precursors to cocaine).
If this batch is processed into finished products, it will be enough for drug cartels to sell for six months.

"Midjlovic, thank you for delivering the goods. I am very satisfied with this shipment and I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future."

The man known as Midilovich was a bald, burly man and a member of the American Big Mafia. In reality, he didn't care much for these Mexican drug dealers, believing that they had no sense of rules and that even barbarism could have order.

"I look forward to the next collaboration."

The fact that they could conduct their business in broad daylight at the docks without anyone interfering made Midilovich even less optimistic about the city.

This country is sick, hopelessly sick.
.
The deal was quickly completed, and Leon Hanks swaggered back with a convoy of trucks.

Just as he separated from the main group and returned, more than a dozen police cars suddenly appeared and blocked the front and back of the convoy. A group of police officers raised automatic rifles and submachine guns and quickly surrounded the drug dealers.

"Put your hands up."

"do not move."
