Tokyo Detective

Chapter 275 A new storm has emerged
Naoki Hanyu's application went very smoothly. There was ample evidence to prove the drug dealers' plan from Sumire Sushi, and he also had a little bit of a relationship with the head of the Security Department. So the protection mission was taken over by the Second Security Section.

The Security Department's First and Second Sections are responsible for protecting VIPs. The First Section is the most important, handling domestic matters, while the Second Section is responsible for international matters.

However, Jessica's identity is merely that of a former diplomat's daughter. Even considering the potential repercussions of a successful assassination, the Security Department only dispatched a team of three officers, consisting of five elite police officers, to provide her with close protection.

Of course, it couldn't just be a defensive operation; the Public Security Bureau also got involved, planning to use Jessica to lure out the roots of a vicious drug cartel in Japan.

As for Naoki Hanyu, the instigator, he was not involved in the Metropolitan Police Department's plan. He was the head of a department and had his own job. The Metropolitan Police Department does not become inoperable without anyone.

Time passed day by day, and Leon Hanks, located in Mexico, became increasingly agitated. First, his men in Japan suddenly disappeared, and then some of the Mexican drug dealers' operations in Japan were gradually dismantled.

A sense of unease arose in the drug lord's heart. Fortunately, there was finally news from Japan: all the people he sent had been arrested and charged with drug use and murder.

In Japan, hiring someone to kill someone, even if the act is not carried out, or even if the person who hired the murderer reports the murderer, constitutes murder.

If it is the preparation stage, it is the crime of attempted murder, which is generally sentenced to about 2 years. If it is the execution stage, it is the crime of attempted murder, which starts at 5 years and can be more than 30 years or even life imprisonment in the most serious cases. Of course, life imprisonment is just a figure of speech. At least in the past 30 years, no one has been sentenced to life imprisonment for attempted murder.

Leon's former subordinates were sentenced to at least four years in prison for two crimes, and he wouldn't have known about it if the Japanese national defense lawyer hadn't informed the Mexican embassy.

As the investigation deepened, Leon Hanks finally learned the details and flew into a rage at his wife.

"Look what your friend has done. I gave him gifts before, and now he's not only getting in my way, but he's also arrested all my men."

"."

Malena lowered her head, not daring to refute him. She knew her husband was furious and that arguing would only result in a beating.

After venting his anger, Leon Hanks finally calmed down and stroked his wife's hair to comfort her.

"Darling, I'm so sorry."

Malena shook her head.

"No, it was all Naoki Hanyu who betrayed my friendship."

Yes, she would send gifts to Tokyo during holidays, even if the expensive items were returned. But she believed that this proved she had repaid the debt of saving his life that day, so she owed Naoki Hanyu nothing.

Since the other party is getting in your way, then don't blame yourself for being ruthless.

Leon sat on the ground, sulking.

"Sigh, that guy is too far away in Japan, so there's no way for him to get revenge."

Malena hugged her husband's neck.

"No, I recently met a high-ranking executive at a mainland hotel. We can commission the mainland hotel to launch a gold coin bounty, and they will arrange for people to eliminate Naoki Hanyu."

"A gold coin reward from the Mainland Hotel?"

Leon Hanks looked at his wife in shock. He couldn't believe that she knew the top executives of the Continental Hotel so well that she could even offer a gold coin reward.

The Mainland Hotel, one of the world's top assassin network platforms, is managed by the mysterious organization High Table. Its bounties are divided into ordinary and gold coin types.

"Ordinary" means assassinating ordinary people or unimportant people; as long as money is paid in advance, it can be done.

The gold coin bounty requires payment in gold coins from within the mainland hotel. This kind of bounty can be called a VIP service. No one is qualified to entrust it without the support of a top-level power. The entrustment to assassinate Ivanka that day was a gold coin bounty.

Malena emitted a seductive voice.

"Of course, if you want to."

Leon Hanks fell into deep thought. Gold coin bounties weren't cheap. Was he really going to waste money on an enemy so far away in Japan?
Ultimately, Leon Hanks chose revenge because he couldn't swallow his anger. The thought of his wife entering the other man's room and the fact that the other man had ruined his plans filled him with immense rage.

"Thank you for your help, darling."

"kindness."

Soon, the sound of panting filled the room.

With Leon Hanks paying $20 million, the Continental Hotel's branch in Japan finally began issuing commissions worldwide, equivalent to over 2000 billion Japanese yen.

There are two objectives. If you only complete one objective, you will only get $800 million. Only by getting rid of both Naoki Hanyu and Jessica Alba can you get $2000 million.

It caused a stir in the Japanese assassin community for a moment, but when they saw who the target was, most people gave up the idea of ​​taking on the job.
.
A large mansion covering 60 cubic kilometers, this is the ancestral home of the Sakura family, a Japanese family with a history of thousands of years.

In the dimly lit room, a burly old man sat quietly, with a large character for "martial arts" hanging on the wall behind him.

The old man's name is Sakura Isshin. He is the head of one of the two major martial arts families in Japan, and has ruled the family for nearly 40 years.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in properly.

"Father."

"I told you not to bother me unless it's absolutely necessary, Takeshiro."

The middle-aged man is Sakura Isshin's second son and one of the candidates for the future head of the family.

Takejiro Sakura handed over the tablet computer with both hands.

“This is a newly released reward from a mainland hotel, and I think my father would be interested.”

"A bounty offered by the Continental Hotel?"

Sakura Isshin took the tablet and opened the webpage; it was the website for a killer platform.

The Sakura family's business certainly extends beyond bodyguards; they also work for various assassin platforms and wield considerable influence in both the legitimate and underworld sectors.

Not only the Sakura family, but also the Jingu family operates in this way, also working as part-time assassins.

As the tablet screen switched, a figure that caught Sakura Isshin's attention appeared before him.

"So it's a little guy named Naoki Hanyu. It might not be worth selling his life for a mere 2000 million US dollars. Takeshiro, do you want to take this commission?"

"Yes, many people know about Naoki Hanyu's experience. From an ordinary person's physique a few years ago to a physique comparable to a monster's now, it is clear that his body has the potential to advance research further."

Sakura Isshin did not give an answer, as he was weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Naoki Hanyu's special physique is not a secret to the two major martial arts families, and even to some research institutes. Many people are curious about his changes.

Monsters that break through the limits of their race are not uncommon in Japan and even the world, but this kind of physique that only changes in the 20s is extremely rare, even unprecedented. If studied, it may lead to further progress in the study of life.

Of course, the reason they didn't take action was also due to the threat of force from their target. They not only had a record of killing martial arts masters or monsters, but they were also sharpshooters when it came to firearms. As police officers, they had taken more than a hundred lives, making them more ruthless than most assassins.

He was shot by snipers multiple times during his police career, and even managed to kill all the enemies when the Creation Society's guards blocked his door with submachine guns.

Such a record alone is enough to make people very wary. In addition, his connections in the Metropolitan Police Department mean that he might be attacked by the other party with the police. Therefore, many forces that want to spy on him are deterred.

"Sakura Takejiro shouted anxiously."

“Father, as you know, our research has made no progress in the past two years. If someone else gets hold of Naoki Hanyu’s body, then there will be even less hope.”

The research level of the Sakura clan was already far inferior to that of the Shrine clan. Given that the Shrine clan had already achieved preliminary results in inheriting bloodline power, if they did not try to go further...

The next generation will be far surpassed in strength by the Jingu family, and their share from the government will decrease. Without sufficient funding, the next generation of the family will be even worse off than they are now.

"I understand. Let Xuanxin lead the hunter team to handle this mission. It would be best if they could capture the enemy alive, but if that's not possible, bring back the corpse."

Sakura Genshin, the younger cousin of Sakura Isshin, is also one of the two elders of the Sakura family. To be chosen as a family elder, one must be a towering figure in the martial arts world, capable of easily killing ordinary monsters and martial arts masters.

The hunter squad is responsible for capturing and hunting monsters and martial arts masters to provide materials for the family's research.

Sakura Takejiro was not satisfied. He had proposed to take charge of the mission so that it would become his qualification for competing for the position of clan leader.

“Father, please let me take responsibility.”

“You’re not good enough. Although you’ve used a secret medicine to make your physique almost like a monster, you’re still not at the master level in martial arts. You’re far inferior to your deceased older brother.”

"."

Sakura Takejiro lowered his head, revealing a hint of ferocity. He hated it when others said he was inferior to his older brother. Although he was not as talented as his older brother, he had single-handedly built up the family research institute.

As expected, this old man only had eyes for his talented offspring; only these were the pieces he was satisfied with.
.
Soon, the Sakura family decided to arrange two teams, since they had accepted the commission, they also had to get rid of Jessica.

The team in charge of Jessica consisted of two martial arts masters and five members of her tribe.

The second team, responsible for Naoki Hanyu, is the main attraction. It consists of a family elder, a senior martial arts master, three ordinary martial arts masters, and a mentally challenged individual with monstrous physique. This individual was an experiment conducted by the Sakura family at a certain point in time.

With the addition of 5 assisting clansmen, it's definitely a luxurious lineup.

In the group, Sakura Hana stared blankly at the target information. This man, isn't this the guy who took her virginity?
No, no, no, that time she clearly took the initiative and made the police hero scream in agony. It should be the Nth time she took him away.

I never expected that my family would have their eyes on me.

Sakura Hana hesitated as she looked at the photo, wondering whether she should remind the other party to escape, since she really wanted to see the old man's anger or disappointment when the family mission failed.

Just then, several servants pushed in several carts, on which were placed pieces of battle armor, each weighing 50 kilograms, and a suit of armor that looked very much like the Astartes, weighing 300 kilograms.

The leader, Sakura Genshin, skillfully put on his battle suit while explaining its origins to his juniors.

"This is the latest equipment we ordered from the LO Group. Each piece is worth over 5000 million, while the armor for number 1 is 1 million. Although it may not be as good as the armor worn by monsters in terms of bulletproofing, the armor is more suitable for martial arts masters to use their superb skills and can also stop bullets from submachine guns."

Kana Sakura used half her strength to tear at the combat suit and discovered that the synthetic fibers inside were indeed very tough; at least a regular handgun couldn't penetrate it. Combined with the metal parts protecting vital areas, it was indeed very suitable for a martial arts master to fight with. "Breaking news report: Typhoon Dark Horse officially made landfall in the Kanto region at 2:00 AM tonight. The entire Kanto region has entered a red (Level 3) alert. The elderly and other people with mobility issues should seek shelter in evacuation centers. Other residents are advised to take precautions against wind and flooding at home."

Level 3 alerts occur several times a year, so they don't have much impact on Tokyo residents.

At the Alba mansion, Jessica stayed in her room watching the news. She had just received bad news from the police: someone had issued a bounty on her head, and she knew without a doubt that it was the Hanks family who were behind it.

However, she wasn't too worried. Unlike Mexico, Japan, despite the many major incidents that have occurred in the past two years, still has much better public security. Moreover, her family has quite a few people to protect her.

A five-person security team from the Second Security Division was responsible for close protection, while 17 detectives from the First Investigation Division were also hidden in the shadows, waiting for their prey to arrive.

There's no such thing as a thousand days to catch thieves, but a thousand days to prevent them from escaping.

As for Shiratori Ten'ei's idea, it would be best to capture a group of assassins and, if possible, dismantle the Continental Hotel's branch in Japan. Even if that wasn't possible, taking down a group of assassins would at least give the Superintendent General of Police an explanation.

As public security deteriorates, police leaders have been forced to focus their attention on potential threats, such as the Continental Hotel, a hitman platform that only became active in Japan a few years ago.

The Metropolitan Police Department even planned to pin some unsolved cases on mainland hotels, such as the murder of the former Minister of Criminal Investigation, the murder of a former member of parliament's family, the murder of a former director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau's family, and even the CIA branch incident.

Anyway, the mainland hotel has no choice but to take the blame this time. The police and even the government need to salvage some reputation. And the person in charge is still Juro Tsuchiya, the head of the First Investigation Division.

This close confidant of Shiratori Ten'ei rose from police superintendent to police commissioner in just two years, which shows that Shiratori Ten'ei put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.
.
In a room of the mansion, Juro Tsuchiya, an old acquaintance of Naoki Hanyu, was in the center giving instructions, while Katsuyuki Matsuda, the head of the first department, was idly talking.

"Section Chief, no one should be coming during the typhoon. How about we have everyone work in three shifts? The time when we need to expend the most energy is after the typhoon passes."

Juro Tsuchiya rubbed his eyes and refused.

"This is the time when we need to pay the most attention. Have you forgotten the River Valley family that was wiped out two years ago?"

Matsuda Katsumi suddenly understood.

"That's right. The Kawatani family was wiped out on the night the super typhoon made landfall. It's very difficult for support to arrive at times like this."

As time ticked by, Juro Tsuchiya suddenly pointed to several surveillance cameras and asked a question.

"Don't you guys think we've seen this scene before?"

"Isn't typhoon weather pretty much the same?"

Matsuda Katsumi observed the raging storm but couldn't discern anything amiss. However, his cautious nature led him to contact several sentries. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the sentries were required to report every 10 minutes.

"Hirose, have you noticed anything amiss on your end?"

"."

When one place failed to respond, Matsuda Masaru hurriedly contacted others, but unfortunately, he received a disheartening answer: none of them replied. It seemed that either the communications were being jammed or all the sentries had been taken out.

How can it be?

Juro Tsuchiya put on his bulletproof vest and helmet, picked up the submachine gun he was issued for the mission, and said in a deep voice.

"It seems our surveillance system has been hacked and is showing the same footage over and over again. Call for backup immediately, and get Miss Jessica into the safe house."

Matsuda Masaru swallowed hard, then asked, feigning composure.

"What about us?"

"We are police officers, and we cannot back down at times like this. Besides, do you think 10 submachine guns are afraid of some bugs hiding in the dark?"

Juro Tsuchiya's composure reassured the members of the faction.
.
Meanwhile, several detectives acting as lookouts lay on the ground with their throats slit, their blood staining the wooden planks.

A man dressed in combat gear, whose face is obscured, is directing his subordinates.

"Cut off the power and kill everyone in the house, understand?"

"understood."

As the power was cut off, the entire mansion was plunged into darkness, followed by the sounds of gunfire and screams from inside.

Inside the safe house on the second basement level, Jessica watched several surveillance videos and was gripped by fear, especially the images of figures falling to the ground.

The safe house has a backup power supply, can monitor the outside situation through surveillance, and can even call the police.

As time passed, the entire room soon became deathly silent.

Juro Tsuchiya leaned against the wall, spitting out blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. He wasn't wounded by a bullet, but by a punch that suddenly appeared in front of him, shattering his internal organs.

"Cough cough cough, who are you people? Your skills are definitely not those of ordinary people."

The person in black armor grabbed Tsuchiya Juro's head with one hand and lifted it up.

"Where is Jessica, the target?"

As he exerted force with his five fingers, the excruciating pain of his shattered skull caused Tsuchiya Juro to scream in agony. However, no matter how much he was tortured, he did not utter a single word until he breathed his last.

The man threw away the corpse and coldly gave the order.

"Everyone search every corner of the house; we don't have much time left."

"Yes."

Four minutes later, as police cars arrived, the Sakura family had no choice but to leave.

Five minutes ago, at Yuzuru Hanyu's mansion.

Naoki Hanyu looked out the window at the sky shrouded in typhoon. He had learned a few hours earlier that someone had put a bounty on him and Jessica.

"Just offer a bounty on Jessica, why drag me into it?"

Naoki Hanyu did not apply for protection from the Metropolitan Police Department, which puzzled the three chiefs, but they respected his decision and gave him their full support.

For example, approving Naoki Hanyu's application for certain heavy weapons, and also assigning him a real female monster.

HK MP5 Series: 9mm Caliber Submachine Gun

Howa Type 89 rifle

Remington MSR sniper rifle
Remington 870 MCS: Modular Shotgun

Flashbang and stun grenade

Level III body armor and bulletproof helmet.

This is definitely a set of equipment for a special assault force.

This was the first time Naoki Hanyu had openly and legitimately obtained heavy weapons from the police. Holding the cold weapons, he was even more eager for some overconfident individuals to come and die.

Just then, his phone received a text message notification, which made Naoki Hanyu pause for a moment when he opened it.

The text message read: "Run! Someone wants to kill you."

Who sent him the text message? Could it be a prank?
Naoki Hanyu thought for a moment and then replied.

"How many guns are there? How many people are there? Are there any monsters or martial arts masters among them?"

Meanwhile, in a car not far from Yuzuru's mansion, Sakura Kana secretly saw the reply and was stunned. Did that idiot think she was joking?

Seeing that no one else was paying attention to her, Sakura Kana quickly typed and sent the message again, then secretly put her phone away, because one of the old man's accomplices, the murderer who killed her father, was looking at her.

"It's so cold," said Genshin Sakura.

"Operation begins. Anyone who does not serve diligently and carefully according to clan rules will be punished."

"Yes."

At the same time, Naoki Hanyu squinted as he looked at the text message.

"Five martial arts masters and one monster, all wearing bulletproof gear, telling me to run away quickly, is that for real?"

Whether it's true or false, one should be cautious, so he dialed the number to notify another police officer inside the mansion, Senbon Natsumi.

"Xia Shi, get your gear on and come over here."

"Ok."

The next second, the entire mansion suddenly lost power—no, the entire community lost power.

Naoki Hanyu's eagle eyes saw clearly through the storm and into the pitch-black surroundings.

"I never expected to experience the same tricks I often use."

Naoki Hanyu picked up the Remington MSR sniper rifle that was in the room and fired through the window at a person approaching through the rain.

"boom."

Flowers of blood bloom in the storm.
