Tokyo Detective

Chapter 272 The "Persimmon" Long Head Hanging High on the Car
Leon Hanks remained calm in the face of dozens of police officers, simply watching as the city police chief, who was in charge, opened the car door and invited him to get out.

"Samir, you've crossed the line."

The police chief, Samir, responded coldly.

"Leon Hanks, you are arrested for drug trafficking."

"Is that so? Then you'd better kill me here."

Leon Hanks' eyes were very fierce, but he did not resist. He simply stared at the director and let him handcuff himself.

As he was being put into the police car, Leon Hanks suddenly smiled.

"Samir, did the new mayor order you to do this?"

Director Samir did not answer.

"Let's go back."

The police convoy started moving, but before they could leave the street corner, they encountered Weidu. Suddenly, more than a dozen vehicles emerged from all sides and surrounded the police convoy, including armored personnel carriers.

The leading drug dealer was Pietro, a member of the Hanks family, with a burly physique, a bulletproof vest, and a helmet.

The Hanks family has 12 executives, each with an armed force of several dozen men under their command.

"Samir, you bastard, release the chieftain now, or we will kill your whole family."

"Delusion! Do you intend to challenge the laws of this country?"

Pietro showed a look of disdain.

"Heh, the law."

Samir's face turned very ugly upon seeing this. He had only arrested Leon a few minutes ago when he was surrounded by Leon's men. There must be a traitor in the group.

Samir gave orders to his men.

“Call the state police department immediately, we need backup.”

This operation is not a solo effort by their city police department; there are 400 brave anti-narcotics officers both inside and outside the city. As long as they hold out until reinforcements arrive, they can succeed.

When Pietro saw that the police were not releasing their leader, he immediately ordered his troops to attack the police.

As for the possibility of accidentally injuring the leader, he didn't care, not to mention that the leader had instructed him not to worry about life or death.

Even if the leader dies, it's a good thing. He can take over the position and inherit his sister-in-law's body and two well-behaved nephews and nieces. He has been lusting after his sister-in-law's body for a long time. Her figure is so voluptuous.

"Fire."

The next second, the 12.7mm M2 heavy machine gun on the Stryker armored personnel carrier opened fire instantly, like a storm of metal.

The bullet instantly tore through the thin skin of the police car and pierced the body of the police officer hiding behind it.

"bang bang bang bang bang"

Gunfire erupted, and both sides began exchanging fire.

Suddenly, a shell hit a police car and exploded, killing and injuring two policemen, and startling Samir into roaring in anger.

"Damn it, two 60mm mortars. Everyone retreat to the residential area and use the buildings as cover."

When faced with a life-or-death situation, Director Samir couldn't care less about civilian casualties; he only wanted to save his own life and that of his men, as the equipment disparity was too great.

Their weapons consisted of automatic rifles and submachine guns, with hardly any light machine guns, while the enemy possessed heavy machine guns and mortars—weapons of mass destruction.

Perhaps, perhaps we shouldn't have taken action.

Of course, the drug dealers didn't fire indiscriminately; after all, they had to consider their arrested boss.

Meanwhile, on the streets of Tepea, teams from the state police wanted to provide support, but were blocked by the rest of the Hanks family, leading to a fierce firefight.

Just like Li Yunlong attacking Ping'an Gole, he wanted to provide support but was blocked at every turn.

Dozens of ordinary citizens were affected, and the explosions in several streets resembled a battlefield.

Just as a helicopter carrying police officers was about to break through the blockade to provide support, a man-portable air defense missile suddenly streaked across the sky, crashing into the helicopter with flames, and a fireball fell from the sky.

Inside Hanks' mansion, Malena was methodically directing the battlefield, with numerous surveillance cameras connected to the interior.

As the police were unable to move an inch, she looked at a screen and launched a fatal blow.

"Jack, you lead the men to storm City Hall."

"Yes."

The footage shows a group of people storming the municipal building, resulting in a fierce clash.

"Lopte Alba, if only you knew what was good for you. What a pity."

As a fellow survivor of the shipwreck, she genuinely didn't want to kill him, but unfortunately, Rupt brought it upon himself.

Inside the city hall, Ropte received a series of bad news, and he began to suspect that there was a traitor among his men.

Looking around at the dozen or so people bustling about in the mayor's office, he wondered how many of his subordinates were traitors—one, two, or all of them?
How can you possibly succeed when your plans are all in the other party's sight?

Time passed by, and suddenly a phone call came in. The mayor's assistant was shocked when he answered it.

"Mayor, it's the president calling."

The president?
Ropte Alba had no idea what the president, whom she had never met, was thinking, but the trouble she had caused was indeed very serious.

“Hello, Mr. President, I am Ropte Alba from the city of Tepia.”

"What's the situation on your end? I heard quite a few people have died."

"That's true, I'm really sorry."

As Ropte listened to the other party's account, a terrible situation came to mind. The president had called just over 10 minutes into the conversation, which showed that the drug dealers had a very wide network of connections.

Moments later, the president issued the order.

"Cease the war and give Leon Hanks back to them."

"Then all our efforts will have been in vain."

The president's angry roar rang out.

"I did this to protect citizens from injury or death; it was an order from the state."

"I understand. Release Leon Hanks now."

After hanging up, Rupt paused for a few seconds, then picked up his own phone and made a call.

"Do it."

"Yes."

Ruppett's order was for him to kill Leon at the hands of the police. He had investigated the drug cartel, and Leon was the heart of the Hanks family and the reason for their brutality.

If Leon is killed and Malena becomes the new leader, her rationality might make the city a better place, even if it costs him his life.

"Tepeya, I have done all I could for you."

On the battlefield where police and drug dealers clashed, Leon, handcuffed and shackled, followed the police, coldly observing the dwindling number of officers.

Suddenly, a chill ran through me, and my body instinctively tried to dodge.

"bang bang bang"

Three submachine gun bullets pierced Leon's shoulder, but the injury did not instill fear in him; instead, it fueled a surge of anger.

These policemen actually wanted to kill him; he was the nameless king of Tepia.

"Click"

The leg irons and handcuffs were twisted off by brute force. Leon bent the gun barrel pointing at him with one hand and punched the other man, sending him flying more than ten meters.

That's right, he never revealed his monster identity to outsiders.

"bang bang bang"

The bullets hit the wall; Leon had already taken cover inside the building.

Just as Samir was about to lead his men to capture the target, orders from his superiors arrived.

"Cease fire and release Leon Hanks."

".yes."

At this moment, Samir was heartbroken. His plan, which had lasted for more than half a month, had failed just like that. It was a farce. He was even more worried about the fate of his childhood best friend, Ropte.

"Lopute, don't be stubborn. Come with me and leave this hopeless country."

As the order was communicated to all police officers, a bizarre scene unfolded on the streets.

The police and drug dealers who had just been fighting to the death were now shaking hands and making peace, looking like good friends.

This made Samir even angrier, realizing that so many of his men had shady dealings with drug dealers.

Despite his anger, he was helpless; even when he ordered his men to resume the war, they refused.

This incident quickly made headlines across various news outlets, even becoming a global news story, as such a major event only occurs once every two or three years in Mexico.

In response, Mayor Ropte of Tepia, who was in charge of the overall operation, once again stood at the podium.

However, this time he was not the spirited mayor, but a war criminal about to be tried.

I'm so sorry.
.
At the Hanks family mansion, Leon sat in front of the television watching the damned press conference, enduring the pain as he had the doctor stitch up his wound, with Malena sitting beside him.

Leon let out a roar like a wild beast.

"I won't let him go. I want him dead. I want all the police officers who dare to oppose me to die too."

Malena paused for a moment as she wiped her husband's body.

"This would cause a lot of commotion, so let's wait and see."

Leon crushed the glass in his hand, but the shards of glass couldn't even cut his skin, only leaving white marks.

"Get me to contact the United Alliance. I want them to help put pressure on the government. Even if it costs us a little, we'll kill those guys who dared to scheme against me."

The so-called alliance is a reluctant organization formed by drug traffickers to avoid being picked off one by one by the Mexican government.

Marlena fell silent. To be rational, this was not a good idea. Although the Hanks family was among the top 10 in Mexico, asking other hyenas for help would inevitably come at a cost, and would make the president lose face.

But her husband was hard to persuade, so she had no choice but to agree.

"I'll help you contact your allies."

“Yes, I’m not only going to kill that bastard Ropte, but I’m going to kill his whole family, leave no one alive.”

Malena's expression changed slightly.

"did you mean?"

"Send more people to Japan to kill Ropte's daughter. Remember, it has to be ruthless and quick. I'll put the video on Ropte's tombstone as a tribute, hahaha."

"."

Leon touched his wife's face.

"I remember his daughter was very beautiful. What was her name?"

"Her name is Jessica, and she is indeed a great beauty."

A glint of shrewdness flashed across Leon's face upon hearing this.

"Then let my men drive Jessica on a train until she dies. That's the only way to quell my anger."
.
In the dead of night, this night was destined to be a sleepless one.

A group of thugs stormed into the mayor's house and kidnapped Mayor Ropte along with his bodyguards. Some police officers who had been working hard to combat drug dealers during the day were also abducted, and the cries of their families echoed throughout the city of Tepia.

The next morning, a scene that shocked the city of Tepia, and indeed the world, unfolded.

The mayor's usual bulletproof car was parked in front of the city hall, with a hollow head sitting alone on it. It was Rupt's head; his tongue and nose had been cut off, and his eyes had been gouged out—a truly gruesome sight.

The bulletproof car was filled with the headless corpses of Ropte's bodyguards, their bodies riddled with injuries, suggesting they had suffered terrible torture before death; the corpses were as if they had been bled dry.

For a moment, the city hall staff dared not go over to collect the body, fearing that the drug dealers would retaliate if the display time was insufficient.

Many citizens who witnessed this scene immediately vomited. How could someone be so cruel as to do such a thing?

At the same time, it casts a shadow of drug traffickers over the entire city, and anyone who dares to oppose them will end up in such a state.
