Tokyo Detective

Chapter 295 The Burning City

Naoki Hanyu glanced at the fuel gauge and was stunned. A vertical takeoff consumed a quarter of the fuel. If a vertical landing were added, the fuel consumption would be reduced by at least a third, which would greatly reduce the flight range. Fortunately, he did not choose a place that was too far away to take off.

"Take action."

The fighter jet's landing gear retracts at increasingly faster speeds: 100 knots, 200 knots, 300 knots.

In less than ten seconds, it reached 800 kilometers per hour, and the city of Tepia came into view.

Naoki Hanyu maintained a speed of 600 kilometers per hour. It was his first time flying a fighter jet, so it was better to reduce the speed a bit, otherwise it would be embarrassing to miss the best time to drop bombs.

The first target was the fentanyl factory located in the suburbs, and the birds he controlled saw Leon Hanks lead people into the factory.

Soon a brand-new, large factory came into view. Despite its futuristic appearance, it didn't actually occupy a large area.

As they drew closer, Naoki Hanyu marked the factory with laser markings. He then pressed the missile launch button, and a GBU-32 guided bomb was dropped from an external hardpoint.

The guided bomb first free-falled, then unfolded its wings and glided past the laser marker.

Meanwhile, inside the factory, Leon Hanks had just finished showing his guests around, and every time he showed off, he felt that the money had been well spent.

Suddenly a strange rumbling sound gradually rose up, like the sound of an airplane, but not quite.

Leon Hanks didn't pay much attention; their city had an airport, so it wasn't surprising that planes flew by.

"My friend, now I'll take you to see the enthusiasm of the people of Moxi.

Evans smiled knowingly. He loved these kinds of field missions the most; not only did he get a $30 gift, but he also had a good time.

Suddenly, something smashed through the factory's metal sheet, followed by a terrifying explosion inside the factory. Flames rapidly enlarged in Leon's vision, engulfing more than a dozen people present.

"Is this an air raid??"

Leon had no time to think and instinctively jumped into cover to try to avoid it. The next second, the shockwave from the explosion raged.

In an instant, half of the factory was destroyed. Not only that, the explosion also ignited flammable materials and chemicals. An even more spectacular secondary explosion followed, blowing the entire factory away.

A small mushroom cloud of fire rose hundreds of meters high from the factory; thankfully, it wasn't daytime and the thick smoke that obscured the sky was not visible. Even so, it terrified those outside the factory. What happened? How could the factory explode so suddenly?

"Fire!"

"Help! Someone, please put out the fire!"

The remaining dozen or so people were in a state of chaos, unsure whether to put out the fire or escape. There were hundreds of drug dealers and workers inside the factory, and now their chances of survival were slim.

[Ding! Intentional homicide, accumulating 7 stars of evil.]

Naoki Hanyu glanced at the system in the fighter jet but didn't pay it any mind; there were still a few targets to be hit.
.
The F-35B continued its strikes on key buildings in Hanks' territory. The last GBU-32 guided bomb went straight for Hanks' drug lab in the slums, where dozens of "workers" were also located.

Six GBU-39 small diameter bombs visited Hanks' mansion, an armory containing two tanks and a large number of weapons, a security post with hundreds of armed men on standby, and finally a club where drug dealers often gathered.

The guard post with over a hundred personnel was a key target, and it was hit by three guided bombs.

Within a span of just over ten seconds, five explosions occurred in succession throughout the city of Tepia, with dazzling flames illuminating the entire city and leaving behind countless cries of agony.

Ordinary people in the city were stunned, feeling as if explosions were happening all around them, and in the end, they could only choose a direction where there were no explosions to escape.

Naoki Hanyu then controlled the F35B to leave, disappearing into the night over the city.

Meanwhile, at Hanks' mansion, Malena escaped from the collapsing building.

This woman, who exuded a mature aura, was now covered in dirt and looked quite disheveled, with multiple scratches on her delicate skin.

Malena looked around in confusion at the abandoned surroundings, then remembered something and hurriedly searched through the ruins, finally finding her beloved child quite far from the central explosion point.

"No, no, no, my child, you must not get hurt."

Malena was seen embracing a severely injured girl and wailing, while a boy with a bloodied head clung tightly to his mother.

"Mom, where's Dad? And is my sister asleep?"

The calls calmed Malena down a bit. She hugged her two children, feeling immense heartache, and her mind raced, trying to figure out what had happened.

Soon a group of drug dealers rushed into the hall. The man in the lead was Pietro, the burly man who had led his men to snatch their boss from the police a little over a month ago.

However, the man who was once fearless now looked just as panicked, and when he saw that Malena was still alive, he was overjoyed as if he had found his pillar of support.

"Sister-in-law, I'm so glad you're still alive! But something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened!"

Malena raised her head and asked in a deep voice.

"What on earth happened? Why are they bombarding us with cannons?"

"What's more terrifying than cannons is fighter jets. An unidentified fighter jet kept bombing, dropping a total of 7 or 8 missiles. The fentanyl factory, the drug manufacturing plant, the armory, and the security headquarters were all bombed."

Fentanyl factory?
Malena asked anxiously, "How is your older brother?"

"We just found my older brother alive in the abandoned building. Although he didn't die, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, so he was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment due to his monstrous physique."

"."

Even Leon was murdered. Who did it?

In an instant, countless suspects flashed through Malena's mind, including the image of Naoki Hanyu.

“Petro, you first arrange for people to stabilize the situation, extinguish the fire, and rescue people. I will contact the government and ask them to step in.”

Pietro nodded hastily.

“I’ll go now, but given our relationship with the government, do you really think they’ll help us?”

Malena shook her head.

“I will yield to the government. Moreover, the government cannot ignore the fact that fighter jets were sent to bomb Mexico’s border. This is an insult to a country.”

"Then, I'll go make the arrangements first. I'll leave the overall situation to you, sister-in-law."

In the past, Pietro wouldn't have been so obedient, but today was different; he was like a headless fly that had found someone to rely on.
.
Various sounds echoed throughout the city of Tepia. The bombed areas were littered with mangled flesh and severed limbs, causing even the vicious drug dealers who rushed to put out the fire to vomit their dinner. It was disgusting.

Another strange phenomenon occurred: all staff from hospitals and fire departments were mobilized, even those on rest were called back to work overtime. However, the police station remained unmoved, watching the drug dealers scramble and ignoring those who took advantage of the chaos.

Former police chief Samir, who was hiding somewhere in Tepia, was equally shocked. It was an unprecedented development for a country in peacetime to be bombed by fighter jets.

However, when he learned that the bombed area was entirely Hanks family territory, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

As a close friend of former mayor Rupett, he harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Hanks family.

His original plan was to sneak back to Tepia City to raid the Hanks family's fentanyl factory, but someone beat him to it and even killed more than 300 drug dealers in one go.

Yes, the bombing killed more than 300 people, including more than 100 at the fentanyl factory, more than 100 at the security detail which was under special surveillance, and more than 100 in other places.

"Perhaps this is an opportunity, a chance to take advantage of the situation and eliminate the Hanks family."

In the darkness of the city of Tepea, a police helicopter takes off from the slums and hovers at an altitude of several hundred meters. This is the last helicopter of the Hanks family, used to deter other unruly forces in the city.

The drug dealers, who were in complete chaos, were finally able to stabilize the situation thanks to the intervention of their strategist, Malena.

Anyone who has been in the Hanks family for a long time knows that most decisions are made by this woman, and it can be said that they owe half of their success to Malena.

Several veteran drug dealers, whose injuries were not serious, surrounded them.

"What should we do now, Madam? Will that fighter jet fly back again?"

Malena flashed a charming smile.

"Please rest assured, the fighter jets will not be returning. I have already reached an agreement with the government."

Malena was confident that the fighter jets would not return. The bombing had likely exhausted their ammunition, and it would probably take more than half an hour for them to return to their unknown airfield for resupply before flying back.

Moreover, she had just reached a preliminary agreement with the government. Although the Mexican army was weak and couldn't even defeat drug traffickers, a sovereign nation would never allow fighter jets to act recklessly.

The scene of Malena standing like a pillar of strength was also seen by Naoki Hanyu through the eyes of a bird, and a complicated expression immediately appeared on his face.

The woman he had saved that day turned out to be a drug kingpin who terrorized the area and the murderer who killed his friend.

Therefore, you should deal with the consequences of your own actions.
.
Time ticked by, and after observing for more than ten minutes, Naoki Hanyu had a general understanding of the target's situation. It was time to take action.

In the suburbs, the Apache attack helicopter, which hadn't been used for a long time, reappeared on the flat ground. It still carried three Hellfire laser-guided missiles and one Stinger air-to-air missile, enough for two infrared decoy flares. This was all of Hanyu Naoki's stockpile.

Once we run out of stock, we'll need to find a way to restock. Perhaps the war between the two major powers will present an opportunity.

Naoki Hanyu summoned his avatar to sit in the driver's seat, while he himself remained in the gunner's position.

This persona happens to be the type that Naoki Hanyu is most satisfied with: a rational type with a calm demeanor that gives people a mysterious confidence.

"You've really gone all out today, since that's the case, I'll play along to the end."

"Don't let them shoot you down."

"Do not worry."

The propellers of the Apache attack helicopter slowly started up. To outsiders, this Apache actually looked like a Black Hawk helicopter, but that was due to the camouflage paint.

As for the missiles and machine guns used being incorrect, that's not Naoki Hanyu's responsibility.
