Tokyo Detective

Chapter 362 Impact of the Event
[Ding! Accumulated sins have reached 7 stars]

All those titles and quests are fake; getting a 7-star Sinful item this time is the real deal.

Although he only killed fewer than 50 people, the deeds of his subordinates will also be attributed to him.

With the support of the police department, the case was brought to a perfect conclusion. Most of the fugitive members of the Sakura tribe were brought back to assist in the investigation. Some of them will be prosecuted, while some innocent people will be released, since there is no such thing as collective punishment in modern times.

The entire Pinghe area was sealed off by the police department; they were not only making arrests, but also checking for any fungal remains.

Although Sakura Isshin was infected by taking medication on her own, there might still be fungal remnants in her body, and the government doesn't want a biohazard outbreak to occur in a large city like Chiba.

This also frightened the surrounding residents. Why did the police cordon off such a large area for no reason? There was no explanation available, and the details were not revealed until the evening news.

It was also the Sakura clan that researched fungi, and even contracted a horrific fungal infection, leaving some government officials angry but unable to speak out.

Yes, they have close ties with the Sakura family, but if they come forward now, it will be telling others that they are related to the Sakura family, which will be bad if they are attacked by their political enemies.

Because the man-eating fungus only broke out in Japan and almost spread throughout the entire prefecture, becoming a taboo in Japan, not only is anyone who studies it doomed, but anyone who gets infected will also be dismissed from their post.
.
While most TV stations were belatedly conducting interviews, waiting to broadcast them during the evening news (7 to 9 pm).

Fuji Television started broadcasting the evening news at 6:30 pm, and it was a special edition that only broadcast one news item, which was extremely detailed: the Metropolitan Police Department's raid on the Sakura family case.

The Jingu family: Jingu Futaba is having a rare family gathering with her daughter. As for her husband, well, the grass on his grave is already two meters high.

The mother and daughter, who looked like twins, chatted and ate. The mother was more mature and radiant with maternal love, while the daughter was more beautiful.

"Mitsuha, how's your relationship with Naoki going?"

Jingu Mitsuha ate in small bites.

"Not bad, I've joined his pharmaceutical company, and he's promised to allocate at least 300 billion to my research funding every year."

"Is the matter between Shingu Genpu and Shingu Takemi related to you?"

Jingu Mitsuha paused for a moment.

"Ah."

“My father just found me and said that unless Naoki Hanyu is willing to marry into the family, he doesn’t want you to be with Naoki.”

Jingu Mitsuha's tone became a bit more serious.

"Didn't he promise me that I could make my own important decisions?"

Jingu Futaba sighed and explained.

"Because you and Naoki joined forces to fight against your own clan, which is a taboo in the family."

"Those people were trying to kill me. Are they even considered my clansmen?"

“In your grandfather’s eyes, blood ties are the connection. Besides, if you don’t get involved, they won’t deal with you. If this continues, I’m afraid he will take back your autonomy and arrange a partner for you, just like your father and I did back then.”

"."

The atmosphere between the mother and daughter became heavy, just as the evening news on Fuji TV began.

"Fuji TV's evening news has been brought up earlier tonight."

"I guess there's some big news going on."

Soon, Yoko Okita's image appeared on the screen.

"Today, the Metropolitan Police Department launched an arrest operation against the Sakura family in Chiba Prefecture, dismantling a heinous research institute and rescuing many victims, half of whom were children."

The two members of the Divine Palace Clan were taken aback.

"The Sakura clan?"

They hadn't heard any rumors of the Metropolitan Police Department taking action; they only heard that the police department was investigating the Sakura family, but later gave up.

The camera quickly switched to a video being filmed, in which Yoko Okita was still present, and the person she was interviewing was a man familiar to both women.

"Naoki Hanyu".

The news report begins with the Metropolitan Police Department's operation: the research institute explodes, the Metropolitan Police Department is attacked, they storm the research institute, and arrest the Sakura clan members. Of course, the faces of the victims will be blurred out.

The scene reached its climax when the two giants were fighting, and Yoko Okita's voice sounded tense and high-pitched, though this was dubbed later.

"The two giants in the battle are Naoki Hanyu, the head of this special task force, known as the Dragon of the Metropolitan Police Department, and the chief of the First Investigation Division. It is said that this is a technique he used when he reached the pinnacle of martial arts. His opponent is Isshin Sakura, the head of the Sakura family, and the mastermind behind all the evil in the research institute."

He transformed into a giant over 3 meters tall using a man-eating fungus—yes, the very same man-eating fungus that broke out in Fukushima Prefecture. This fungal corpse could easily lift an 8-ton truck; it was a true monster.

"."

As the news came to an end, the Jingu mother and daughter recovered from their shock.

"I ask in surprise," said Shingu Futaba.

"Sakura Isshin has become a fungal corpse. Even your grandfather is questionable whether he can lift 4 tons. And Naoki's state is all muscle control. Mitsuha, are you aware of this information?"

Jingu Mitsuha nodded.

"I know."

"What a terrifying young man."

For some reason, when Jingu Futaba looked at the young man on the screen who seemed like a god, her heart couldn't help but tremble a little. She even forgot that she was a woman who admired strength.

Soon, a member of the Shingu family knocked on the door.

"Erye, the clan chief wants you to bring Sanye to see him."

"Ok."

As the mother and daughter pushed open the gate of the mansion, the interior was decorated in a rustic style, with antiques and rooms blending seamlessly into the space. Inside, an elderly woman with white hair and a youthful face was intently watching television, which was repeatedly playing scenes of Naoki Hanyu fighting. Although the scenes were blurred, they still held the old woman's attention.

The old man's name was Jingu Chao, and he was the head of the Jingu clan.

"Father."

"grandfather."

Jingu Chao snapped out of his daze and smiled.

"You've arrived, please have a seat."

The mother and daughter sat down respectfully. Jingu Futaba showed a hint of surprise. It was rare to see her father so polite today. Her impression of him since childhood was that he was serious, self-centered, and unassailable.

"Father, may I ask why you called us here?"

Jingu smiled.

"Mitsuha, I heard you and Naoki Hanyu are a couple?"

The answer came to mind for Mitsuha Jingu, but she wouldn't say it.

"Yes, Grandpa."

“Very well, I won’t beat around the bush either. After all, you should have seen the news reports. He and Sakura Isshin were very strong. Even if Sakura Isshin might not have been considered human at the time, he was indeed very strong. I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as him.”

"."

Jingu Mitsuha remained silent, though she already knew what her grandfather wanted to say.

"Issue Shingu said with a serious expression."

“I hope you can marry him, but one of your boys will have to take the surname Jingu. He will become the next head of the Jingu family. Even if you can’t marry Hanyu Naoki, I still want you to have his children, the more the better. As long as they are boys, they can inherit the position of head of the Jingu family.”

"."

Jingu Futaba was displeased upon hearing this. What did it mean that they weren't husband and wife and yet they kept having more and more children? What was the difference between them and mistresses?

She, Jingu Futaba, is not from the older generation; she prefers to let her daughter have free love rather than like she did.

"Father, what are you saying?"

Jingu raised his hand to interrupt.

"All of this is for the sake of the Divine Palace Family. This is how the Divine Palace Family has survived for thousands of years, absorbing better bloodlines generation after generation. This is the survival rule of the Divine Palace Family. Do you understand?"

"I don't."

Jingu Mitsuha interrupted her mother.

"I'm willing, but I hope to get the support of my family."

"of course can."

The three generations of the family chatted about having children.

After the mother and daughters left the room, Jingu Futaba asked.

"Mitsuha, don't wrong yourself."

“Mother, I don’t feel wronged. After all, I never planned to get married. The way you and Father get along makes me afraid of marriage. Now it’s so good. I can find a man I think is good, and I can use this as an excuse to get real freedom. If the child can really become the head of the family in the future, the entire Shingu family will be ours. Uncles will have to step aside.”

Jingu Futaba sighed.

“You know your grandfather didn’t tell the whole truth. If a child isn’t talented, he can’t become the clan leader.”

"At least until Grandpa is disappointed, I can do whatever I want."

"..."

Jingu Futaba was speechless. As expected, this was what her child thought. What kind of child or what kind of future didn't matter.

As the evening news played, a magnitude 10 earthquake shook the entire neon-lit city.

Unexpectedly, such a major event occurred in China after the Longgao Group incident. Moreover, this time it was recorded in its entirety. They could see the danger, the darkness, and the bravery of the Metropolitan Police Department in the video, as well as that inhumanly strong man.

Soon after, Naoki Hanyu's fan base on a certain app, which he hadn't shown up in for a long time, exploded. He already had three million fans, but now it has jumped to five million and is still rising.

Of course, online opinion also exploded, with constant questioning of Japan's biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. It is estimated that some companies will plummet when the stock market opens tomorrow.

There were also some speculations about the Sakura family and other high-ranking government officials, but this topic was quickly deleted.
.
In front of Sakurada Gate, many reporters blocked the entrances of the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency. They tried to surround any high-ranking officials who appeared. Naoki Hanyu quietly climbed through a window to enter the National Police Agency headquarters.

The follow-up to this case involves cooperation between the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency. After all, Chiba City is not the Metropolitan Police Department's territory. If things go smoothly, the National Police Agency will have to get some benefits. If you don't even get any benefits, you're not a decent person.

Naoki Hanyu entered the Criminal Investigation Bureau office and immediately saw a group of detectives busy at work. In addition to high-ranking officials of the Criminal Investigation Bureau such as Ryoko Yakushiji, he also saw the director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Kunimitsu Tegoshi, whom he had met once before.

The bureau chief greeted him very warmly.

"Yuzuru, you've arrived."

"Hello, Chief Tegoshi."

After chatting for a while, Tegoshi Kunimitsu patted Totoro on the shoulder.

"Let's get together for a drink when we have time. You didn't come here to listen to my nagging."

"Okay, let's grab a drink together next time."

Next, Naoki Hanyu, led by Ryoko Yakushiji, arrived at an office where a woman was staring blankly at a cup; it was Kana Sakura.
