Tokyo Detective

Chapter 279 Trouble with Mainland Hotels

As dawn broke, several people, whether assassins or ordinary tourists, left the Continental Hotel in Setagaya Ward. The police monitoring them sent men to follow them.

The mainland hotel branch located in Japan ostensibly offers accommodation bookings, so its daily income is earned from ordinary people.

The hotel's decor is magnificent yet tasteful, with two doormen standing on either side of the entrance and an expensive red carpet laid out on the sidewalk. Its standards are in no way inferior to those of a five-star hotel.

On the hotel's rooftop, a sprightly and charismatic elderly woman from neon lights gazes out through a window, followed by an elderly white man.

"Jones, did you notice? There's someone downstairs spying on the Continental Hotel."

"Should I go and warn them?"

The elderly Japanese man shook his head. He was the hotel manager of the mainland hotel's Japanese branch and the head of a prominent local family, named Yasuo Omasa. Although he was over 80 years old, he still possessed a unique air of authority.

A customer who can detect being followed so quickly is clearly no pushover.

The white man was Jones, the head of the hotel's security department.

"Osaka Yasuo said calmly."

"I had already received word that the Japanese police were going to take action against the mainland hotels. I didn't expect them to find us so quickly. They sent a message that the hotel would temporarily close tonight and that they were also investigating whether any key assassins had leaked information."

“I understand, but should we involve the Jingu Sakura family in the hotel matter?”

Osaka Yasuo responded coldly.

“They won’t agree. The Japanese government is really determined this time. You haven’t heard, have you? The head of the First Investigative Division died last night, and someone attacked Naoki Hanyu. They won’t get involved in trouble at this time.”

Yes, the bounty was issued by the mainland hotel. Now that a section chief has died, causing a stir in the Metropolitan Police Department, neither of the two powerful families wants to get involved.

Jones frowned immediately.

"They didn't even notify the hotel before they acted. Who was it? Did they succeed?"

Osaka Yasuo revealed a mocking smile. He had many friends in the upper echelons of the Metropolitan Police Department and knew everything the department did.

"The person who made the move clearly had their own agenda. I had heard that Naoki Hanyu was of great research value, but who would have thought that he could kill five martial arts masters? The guy who took it upon himself to do this is in big trouble."

"Five martial arts masters?"

Jones already had a list of suspects in his mind. Five martial arts masters were not something that just anyone could produce; it could only be a few different forces.

However, he was more interested in how Naoki Hanyu killed the five martial arts masters.

"Did you arrange for your men to kill him with firearms?"

"No, I heard that two people killed the person. Naoki Hanyu also had a female monster who learned the martial arts of the Jingu Temple, Natsumi Senbon."

"Oh I got it."

Those who only have a partial understanding of the situation might think that five ordinary martial arts masters had died, so it's not too exaggerated that they were killed by two equally powerful individuals.

Omasa Yasuo explained.

"Help me book a flight to America tonight. I'm leaving tonight. You've already chosen a hotel."

"Yes."

Osaka Yasuo wasn't in a hurry. The police wouldn't be able to find any evidence to take action in a short time, and his departure was just a matter of security.

Soon after, Naoki Hanyu received news that the hotel in mainland China had suddenly suspended operations, because the online reservation system showed this.

Not only the branch offices, but other branches also ceased operations one after another. Some of these branches were bars, and some were bookstores.

"Exposed?"

Naoki Hanyu tapped the table. Time was running out; he had to act quickly.

"Take immediate action and bring back all those suspected of being the killers."

However, his subordinates raised questions.

“We can bring people back through emergency arrests, but if we can’t find evidence within 48 hours, we’ll be in a lot of trouble. Also, without search warrants for the mainland hotel branches and sub-branches, it’s difficult for us to take action.”

Yes, this time they only arrested one or two people. If they arrest a large number of people and really can't find any evidence, the other party can sue Naoki Hanyu to death. Do they still want to get promoted?

Naoki Hanyu stood up and put on his coat. He was probably worried about not being able to find any evidence, just kidding.

"I'll handle things with the prosecutor's office; you guys bring the person back first."

Naoki Hanyu planned to visit a high-ranking prosecutor in the Minato Ward. Although they didn't have enough evidence to issue a search warrant, they could still discuss other things outside the rules.

After Naoki Hanyu came out of the office of Ryo Iijima, the second-in-command of the High Public Prosecutors Office, he finally obtained a search warrant.

Naoki Hanyu owed the old man a favor, after all, this was a high-intensity search warrant for the hotel, unlike a regular search warrant.

As for the branches in other places, it was much more difficult to deal with them. Although he had communicated with the local police, Naoki Hanyu couldn't command them, let alone obtain a search warrant.

Ultimately, he wasn't the head of the first section yet, and the other party wouldn't be willing to accept orders from a mere director.

Minister, can you hurry up? I can't wait to take office.

Shiratori Ten'ei is attending a high-level meeting to decide whether to appoint Hanyu Naoki as the head of the First Investigation Division.
.
The phone rang suddenly, and Naoki Hanyu smiled as he looked at it; it was Ten'ei Shiratori calling.

"Naoki, come to the conference room on the 21st floor. Hurry up, don't keep the officers waiting."

"Received." Fortunately, the High Public Prosecutor's Office was not far from the Metropolitan Police Department. When Naoki Hanyu hurriedly opened the conference room door, he immediately saw all the high-ranking police officers present.

Superintendent General, Deputy Superintendent General, and a retired deputy chief who hasn't yet retired.

The seven ministers were important, the five ministers were minor, and there were a total of 15 senior police officers, including at least a superintendent.

A thought arose in Naoki Hanyu's mind: I will sit in this position sooner or later.

"Greetings, sirs. Naoki Hanyu is here to report for duty."

"I am Koichi Uemura, the director, said calmly."

"Inspector Hanyu, please have a seat. We've invited you here today because Chief Shiratori has proposed that you take on the position of Chief of the First Investigation Division. You know very well how important this position is; it's usually held by a Superintendent. So we'd like to know your thoughts on this."

Naoki Hanyu looked at the confident Shiratori Ten'ei, and then gave a serious answer.

"I'm."

After half an hour.

Naoki Hanyu left the meeting room, leaving the executives to continue their discussion.

The head of the First Investigation Division is arguably the most powerful detective in the Metropolitan Police Department, ranking among the top 40 in the department. Therefore, Shiratori Ten'ei cannot simply establish a one-man rule.

You're saying the head of the criminal investigation department is also a criminal investigator? That's a matter of opinion.
.
Twenty minutes later, the position of head of the First Investigation Division was officially given to Naoki Hanyu, and the positions of detectives in the First Investigation Division were also arranged.

The head of the first department is Seiko Akimoto, and the ordinary detectives are Mai Fujiwara, Natsumi Senbon, Yamato Yamada, Tetsuki Yamashita, Miyuki Kobayakawa, and Ryosuke Shiraishi.

The transfer order has indeed been issued, but I can only start work in the First Investigation Division tomorrow.
As for why Ryosuke Shiraishi didn't stay at the Kabukicho Police Station, he was the head of the Security Division, a position at the level of a police inspector.

I can't even become a team leader here, so I might as well stay in Kabukicho.

Naoki Hanyu was considering having Ryosuke Shiraishi stay in Kabukicho, but the latter didn't think so and insisted on coming with him to the First Investigation Division as a regular detective.

This damned sense of trust left Naoki Hanyu speechless.
.
Naoki Hanyu put on a bulletproof vest underneath a suit jacket and began leading his men into action.

"Miwako, bring your people and come with me."

"Yes, Chief."

Miwako Sato has been staying by Naoki Hanyu's side to assist him since last night, so it's clear to the other detectives who is more worthy of Naoki Hanyu's trust.

Soon, a line of police cars pulled up in front of the Mainland Hotel. Naoki Hanyu led more than fifty people into the building, all dressed in suits, but their expressions were serious and even had a hint of murderous intent, which frightened passersby into avoiding them.

Naoki Hanyu not only brought people in, but other patrol officers also arrived one after another to surround the hotel. If any conflict occurred, he would make sure that not even a fly could get out.

On the long red carpet, two men who looked like doormen but were actually top-ranked martial arts experts did not stop the police from entering. They simply announced the situation via walkie-talkie and then opened the gate to let the police in.

As soon as Naoki Hanyu and his group entered the hall, they saw an elderly man in a suit and tie walking towards them with a smile.

"Hello officers, I'm Yasuo Omasa, the hotel manager. How can I help you?"

Miwako Sato sat to the side and took out a search warrant.

"Police are conducting a search; please cooperate."

".OK."

Osaka Yasuo's smile froze; he hadn't expected the other party to have obtained a search warrant.

There's a big difference between searching a hotel and searching a residence, even though my friend at the Metropolitan Police Department said there wasn't enough evidence to warrant a search.

If the other party dared to act recklessly, he could ask his friends in the police department and the judicial system to put pressure on them. He never expected that the other party would come straight to him with a search warrant.

Naoki Hanyu looked at the old man with the deep red name in front of him and sneered inwardly. This guy was the 10th person with a black and red name that he had seen.

“Mr. Taizheng, please come with me. The rest of you, check everyone in the hotel. Remember to be careful of some assassins who might resist with force.”

Yasuo Omasa suppressed his anger and retorted.

"Officer Yuzuru, no one is allowed to use firearms inside the Mainland Hotel."

"Hehe, so well-mannered? I don't think so."

"."

Sato Miwako and her team took over the front desk computer, sent a map of the entire hotel to all the police officers, then checked all the room information and sent police officers to investigate them one by one.

Police officers knocked on the door, signaling the occupants inside to cooperate with the investigation.

Some people faced police questioning with fear on their faces, while a few remained calm. Clearly, this was the police's target.

Naoki Hanyu led the old man to a tailor shop inside the hotel, and the old man's heart sank; the other party had indeed come prepared.

"Mr. Dazheng, it's surprising that there's a tailor shop in the corner of your hotel."

"Hehe, Officer Yuzuru, you don't know this, but guests always need clothes sometimes, which is why there are tailor shops to make things convenient for them."

Naoki Hanyu wouldn't listen to the other person's nonsense; he had heard the mysterious person who sent the text message mention the tailor shop.

This place not only makes ordinary clothes, but also provides assassins with high-quality soft body armor.

"Search for me, and look for any hidden passageways or the like."
