Tokyo Detective

Chapter 348 A new storm has emerged
Jingu Eiichi cleaved the incoming bullet with his sword, a smile involuntarily appearing on his lips.

He could cut bullets with a knife, even if it was only possible by chance. It was a skill that he, as a former martial arts master, could only look up to. But now he had done it, and all the effort was worth it.

Jingu Nagashi weaved through a storm of bullets, with a few sparks from the collision of metal creating sparks at the edges of his armor.

A faster, stronger body is just amazing.

The 30-meter distance was traversed in just 2 seconds. The next second, the blade slashed through the spring raindrops, and an arm flew into the air, blood splattering like rain.

At that moment, Yukiko Muromachi looked incredulous, followed by the excruciating pain of losing her arm.

This was her first time fighting a monster in close combat, and she never expected it to end so badly.

Next, my body couldn't keep up with my eyes at all, and I could only watch helplessly as the masked man in front of me raised his katana.

"Get away from me, woman."

Yukiko Muromachi's body was pulled away in time; it was Chris, who had just had his handcuffs removed.

"Damn traitor, die!"

"Click."

The special handcuffs that acted as brass knuckles collided with the samurai sword, producing a piercing sound and sparks. This time, Jingu Ei couldn't help but take a step back, after all, he was an agile martial artist.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the deputy commander."

"Don't call me deputy commander, you're not worthy."

Upon hearing this, Jingu Nagashi did not immediately take action, but instead wanted to show off his transformation to his former boss.

"Don't be so heartless. We would have been wiped out even without me back then. It's better to give my little brother a chance to become stronger. You know what? Replacing my heart with an artificial one is amazing. The blood transfusion capacity is five times that of my old heart. I have greater strength, more endurance, and faster reflexes. It's totally worth it, hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Chris flew into a rage. His comrade-in-arms of several years was worth a chance to transform his body, and he charged at his opponent like a mad beast.

"You beast."

The handcuffs clashed with the samurai sword a few times, and Chris's body was gradually covered with knife wounds, as if the other party was toying with his enemy.

Yukiko Muromachi took the opportunity to take a tourniquet from the car and tie it to the artery of the severed limb. She then used local hemostatic powder before she had time to pay attention to the battle situation. During the journey, she was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely and her face was pale. She almost lost consciousness.

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed, and a deep wound was slashed into Chris's chest, just as they had exchanged blows.

Yukiko Muromachi gritted her teeth, picked up a submachine gun, and fired at Nagare Jingu, immediately displeasing the man who was caught up in pleasure.

"Woman, please don't cause trouble, otherwise you'll live a little longer."

Suddenly Chris turned and ran. Just as Muromachi Yukiko and Jingu Nagare thought he was going to escape, the berserker grabbed the bewildered woman with one hand and threw her off the road with all his might. A dozen meters below was a fast-flowing river.

"what"

"boom."

The sound of splashing water was heard, and Jingu Nagashi turned his head to look, but he could only see two splashes and no sign of Muromachi Yukiko.

"With such a strong current and a severed arm, do you think she could have survived?"

"Who knows? I just didn't want anyone to disturb me while I was killing you, you beast."

Jingu Nagashi shook off the bloodstains on the blade and smiled.

"It's been a few months, and you've become gentler, Deputy Commander. But I'm more inclined to believe that woman knows some secrets. Never mind, I'll test my limits with you, this useless person, before I find the woman."

Chris grinned menacingly.

"You have no chance."

In the instant the two figures crossed paths, Chris's body was cut into four pieces. His arm holding the handcuffs was severed at the root, his head was cut off, and his waist was also severed. Blood was splattered on the road and washed away by the rain.

"You're satisfied that you died by my snake-slaying technique, Chris."

Jingu no Eiji sheathed his sword, and applause could be heard from not far away.

A masked man clapped his hands as he approached. By then, the battle was over. More than 20 police officers had been wiped out in less than 3 minutes by a mere 5 men. And this was a team equipped with submachine guns—yes, submachine guns.

(The reason why the reformed Japanese police have continued to use MP5 submachine guns instead of automatic rifles is because they are cheaper.)
(In Japan, the MP5 submachine gun costs only 20 Japanese yen, while the commonly used Howa Type 89 automatic rifle costs 200 million yen. The bullets for submachine guns are also cheaper than those for automatic rifles, with a price difference of nearly 10 times.)
Jingu nods to the man clapping.

“Brother Xuanfeng, you can do it too, just try modifying it.”

The newcomer was none other than Shingu Genfeng, the Shingu assassin who had once defeated and kidnapped Toriyama Juzo.

"Human modification carries risks."

"You're not willing to gamble on an 8% success rate? Brother, you're over 40 and your body has already reached its peak. Do you still have the confidence to reach the level of a top figure in the future? Human body modification is different. Although the degree of control over the body is reduced, and you may never be able to use techniques that fully control your muscles in your lifetime, the all-round improvement in physical fitness is real."

"."

Jingu Genfeng was persuaded, but lying in the operating room with his life and death in the hands of outsiders made him feel uneasy.

Jingu Nagato leaned closer and whispered.

"Only by returning to the family can we have a future. Staying with these Sakura family members will only lead to our demise. To return to the family, we need to have the strength."

"."

Jingu Genpu looked at the other three Sakura clan members finishing off the wounded. Yes, the Jingu family couldn't stay with the Sakura clan members forever.

"Enough of that. Quickly search for the woman who fell into the water. We must do a good job this time."
.
Eight minutes later, more than a dozen police cars arrived at the scene of the battle, led by the new section chief of the First Public Security Division of the National Police Agency, Makoto Hachime.

The team consisted of more than 20 elite police officers, as well as dozens of police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department's Security Division and the Nagano Prefectural Police Department, totaling over a hundred people. They even had an infantry fighting vehicle.

The hundreds of people were shocked by what they saw: burning vehicles, severed limbs scattered everywhere, and the faces of the dead filled with fear.

"One team will be responsible for perimeter security, the rest of you check if there are any survivors, and we must find Councilor Muromachi!" Yagami shouted.

"Yes."

Yame Makai felt his palms were ice cold. This case was being handled by the head of the Security Bureau of the National Police Agency, with two teams under his command: the Public Security Division of the Security Bureau and the Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department assisting him.

For three months, they thought they had found a clue, but they ended up losing everything. The first advisor of the garrison command may have died here. Both he and his superiors will be affected, and they will inevitably be labeled as incompetent.

Soon, the other police officers brought him bad news.

"Reporting to the section chief, all 24 police officers have been killed, and the Muromachi councilor has not been found."

"There's none?"

It seems that he either escaped, was kidnapped by criminals, or died somewhere else.

"Send someone to check if the dashcams on the police cars have captured any useful clues. Also, contact the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters; we need their support. In addition, be careful to keep the news under wraps and don't let the media know for the time being."

"Yes."

Three months ago, nearly 30 police officers were killed by mercenaries, and now more than 20 more have died. This is the case with the most police casualties in the past decade.

"damn it."

As the police expanded their search, the figures searching the river in the darkness were forced to leave.

The next morning, when Naoki Hanyu woke up, he did not find that familiar body.

"7:40 a.m., there's no need to wake up that early if there are no cases."

Naoki Hanyu took a shower and ate breakfast while Haru was having breakfast, and returned to the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters at 9 o'clock.

Just as I was about to go and have a chat with the minister, I heard a commotion coming from the Criminal Investigation Department office.

Inside, two women were seen crying and pleading with Masao Kuraki and the others.

Upon closer inspection, Naoki Hanyu realized that it wasn't two women, but a man and a woman. The heavily made-up, flamboyant woman was actually a man, whose face still retained a touch of masculine ruggedness.

Is he a cross-dresser, a ladyboy, or a transgender person?

Cross-dressers simply wear women's clothing, while ladyboys typically take estrogen to increase their female characteristics, and transgender people undergo a physiological change in sex.

The man dressed as a woman cried out in a hoarse voice.

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't been pushing him so hard, the villager wouldn't have taken the risk of waiting until night to collect the goods, and he wouldn't have been targeted."

"."

Kuraki Masao allowed the other man to tear at his clothes, stopping his men from holding the man down.

"Mr. Furuoya, please calm down. We don't know if you have any clues about Mr. Natsukawa's murder."

"It must have been Qiangming Pharmaceuticals that did it. The villager has no enemies and he also has large cell lung cancer. He just wants to treat himself and help those patients suffering from the disease. Only Qiangming Pharmaceuticals, whose source of income has been cut off, would do such a thing."

"We will investigate."

"No need for investigation, it must be them. We can go and arrest them."

Kuraki Masao did not rule out the possibility that it was Qiangming Pharmaceuticals that did it, after all, this person who was destined to die caused Qiangming to lose tens or hundreds of billions, and if they did not get rid of him, they would only lose more in the future.

But he had no evidence, and none of the port's numerous surveillance cameras detected any suspicious figures; the other party seemed to be invisible.

Kuraki Masao looked at the other woman and asked.

"Dr. Matsuda, I'd like to know if you've secretly introduced the patient to Mr. Natsukawa."

"No."

Kuraki Masao frowned. He suspected that the female doctor in front of him was the one who explained the mutant lung cancer patient to the victim, and even used her connections to contact other patient groups.

"Dr. Matsuda, please answer me seriously. It's not illegal to introduce someone to you."

"Really, no, I'm just the villager's attending physician and friend."

Naoki Hanyu understood the female doctor's actions. Although it wasn't illegal, the medical association wouldn't easily forgive a woman if she exposed herself as introducing patients to take Indian generic drugs.

Just as he was about to show himself, Shiratori Ten'ei called and stopped him.

"Naoki, come to my office."

"what's up?"

"It's a big deal, you'll find out when you get here."

Inside his office, Naoki Hanyu felt increasingly heavy-hearted as he reviewed the intelligence reports.

"Twenty-four people died, including 11 from the security department. Yukiko's fate is also unknown."

Shiratori Ten'ei nodded dejectedly. In his opinion, Muromachi Yukiko and Hanyu Naoki were good people who could be won over, but who knew they might be dead or alive?

"This case has alarmed the entire police department, no, the entire cabinet."

Naoki Hanyu didn't care who was disturbed; he was more worried about his good friend Yukiko Muromachi.

"Uncle Tianrong, did you call me over because you want me to participate?"

"Yes, the director, deputy director, and I have discussed it and decided to send you there. The task force there is well-staffed, so you can take just a few people with you. Your 'good friend' Ryoko Yakushiji will also be involved in this case."

"Okay, I'll go through it right away."
