Tokyo Detective

Chapter 376 The World Shakes
After methodically tidying up the truck, Naoki Hanyu even made a middle finger gesture towards the satellite before the dark clouds obscured the sky, knowing that someone was definitely watching him via satellite.

Next, he took Fatima aboard a warship and left, not knowing if there might be other warships nearby.

He had actually done his research before taking action, so he had made sure he was fully prepared.

阿美莉卡距离最近的空军基地也有2000多公里，就算是F35在空中加油也要飞1个多小时，毕竟F35系列也就1800公里到2200公里航程，作战半径1100公里。

With half of America's nine aircraft carriers undergoing repairs in the shipyard and the whereabouts of the remaining half openly exposed, generally speaking, no one can do anything about it.

Of course, there is also the possibility of encountering bad luck, such as encountering a warship or submarine today. Fortunately, although there were some twists and turns, the gains were really plentiful.
.
Soon the speedboat picked up Hanyu Naoki and the other two and returned them to the warship. Then the steel behemoth headed south towards the place where the storm was gathering.

Less than 30 minutes later, as the warship rushed into the cloud-covered sea, the satellite finally lost track of the Naoki, causing great tension among the Pentagon's top officials.

To prevent the culprit from escaping, the Pentagon even made an unprecedented move by ordering the Yokosuka Port in the northwest, the Guam base, and the Philippines and Australia bases in the southeast.

Several bases dispatched warships to form a comprehensive search network, and even several T-AGOS ocean surveillance ships participated in the search.

The T-AGOS ocean surveillance vessel has a radar with a passive detection range of 500 kilometers and an active mode that emits low-frequency sound waves that can reach 1000 kilometers, making it an excellent tool for detecting submarines and warships.

America's sudden move naturally alarmed certain major powers, such as the Eastern power, Russia, and the European Union.

They don't have time to constantly monitor a dilapidated island and an ordinary patrol destroyer with satellites, so they are unaware that the destroyer has been sunk.
.
In the storm, the nearly 10,000-ton destroyer swayed in the giant waves.

Naoki Hanyu looked at the girl who was hugging him tightly. She was frightened by the turbulent, dark sea outside. Every giant wave that crashed onto the deck made her body tremble slightly.

Naoki Hanyu touched Fatima's white hair, rubbed it a few times, and came to a conclusion: it's pretty boring, and it smells a little bad. Girl, could you please not hug me?

"Don't be afraid, this is just a small wave. I can swim in the sea even if it gets bigger."

"."

Fatima thought the other person was bragging, but since she was under someone else's roof, she had to bow her head and could only pretend to be admiring.

"Big brother is really amazing."

Naoki Hanyu smiled.

"Alright, we need to change ships now. This warship is being pursued, so you can't stay any longer."

"Change ships?"

"Yes, look to your left."

Fatima squinted and observed for a moment before spotting a white yacht. Its outline was not clearly visible in the rain, but she knew that the yacht was more than ten times smaller than the warship.

Fatima's face turned deathly pale instantly. There was something she hadn't mentioned: she had a fear of the sea, especially on stormy nights with towering waves.

I remember the night a few years ago when I tried to smuggle myself into France with my parents. A kayak was full of dozens of people, and we unfortunately encountered a storm.

That night, a violent storm tossed the girl about, the dark sky and ocean seemed like a deep abyss, and the small kayak looked like it could capsize at any moment under the giant waves.

That night, half the people disappeared at sea, and her mother, who had the same hair and eyes, disappeared into the sea as if swallowed up. It was that night that she began to have thalassophobia.

Naoki Hanyu quickly noticed the girl's unusual behavior.

Are you afraid of the sea?

"Ah."

Naoki Hanyu picked up the white-haired girl directly.

"If you're afraid of the sea, don't look at it. Just hold me tight."

Fatima was stunned. She felt that she had heard these words before. Her father had said the same thing, but now he was gone and buried in that land.

The girl wrapped her arms tightly around the neck of the "uncle" in front of her, pressing her head against the water to hide her view of the turbulent sea, and unknowingly boarded the yacht.

The yacht swayed less than I had imagined, which greatly reduced my fear.

Naoki Hanyu retrieved the destroyer without the other party's knowledge, and then steered the yacht eastward. That's right, he was going back to Hawaii, intending to play the blind spot with those who were looking for him.

Besides, Fatima cannot be brought back to Japan for the time being, and he cannot let a little kid he doesn't trust know his identity. By the way, how old is this little kid?

Fatima, how old are you?

"16 is old."

Naoki Hanyu was momentarily surprised and looked suspiciously at the girl who was only 1.45 meters tall.

“You look like you’re 13, don’t lie.”

"15 is old."

"..." Oh well, let them say whatever they want. It doesn't matter if they're a year or two younger. You can also assume they're just small because they're not getting enough nutrition.

Shortly afterward, a four-aircraft formation of F-35As broke through the clouds and flew into the storm, completely ignoring the white yacht below that had just left the storm area.

The following night, the American Navy continued searching for the destroyer, but it seemed to have vanished without a trace, much to the dismay of the Pentagon's top brass.

Mike didn't leave the building for two days and even had trouble sleeping, sporting dark circles under his eyes.

He desperately wanted to hear news that the destroyer had been locked on and sunk, but in the end, the enemy seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Now he had a guess in his mind: the traitor must have informed the destroyer of the operation. There weren't many high-ranking officials with the authority to know such information, maybe a dozen or so. In other words, the traitor was among these people.

"I've found some clues about you."

Just as Mike was seething with anger, the Pentagon Chief of Staff suddenly rushed over.

“Mike, something bad has happened. There are rumors circulating online that DDG-89 has been sunk and all crew members have perished.”

Mike froze upon hearing this.

"How did they know the news?"

"I don't know. I heard that someone sent emails to major TV stations, and they are now asking about the whereabouts of DD089, whether it was sunk by a destroyer."

"."

It was definitely leaked by those traitors. As the strongest nation on Earth, it is impossible for them to admit that their warship was sunk by a destroyer of their own traitors, regardless of whether it was sunk or not.

"Hassen, you have your spokesperson tell the media that the DDG89 exploded due to an accident while transporting some weapon, and all the people on board perished."

"I understand."

The person must be said to be dead, otherwise it would be very troublesome if the families of 300 people made a fuss. Even if they make a fuss over this excuse, it won't be that serious. In short, you can't say that he was beaten up.

Whenever a weapon is proven to have been defeated, not only does the government face scrutiny, but the arms industry also suffers. The French fighter jet and the Rafale are prime examples of this.

As for the Morgans Group's affairs, who cares? They didn't happen in America's own country, so how can they be blamed on themselves?
Naoki Hanyu is unaware of the serious trouble he has caused some people. He is flying back to New York from Honolulu through an "old friend," while his clone in Japan is also flying to America, New York. If asked, he says it's business; if asked again, he says he's meeting a beautiful woman.

The incarnation can only last for 7 days, and today is the 6th day. We can't delay any longer.
.
New York, Morgans Group meeting room.

The atmosphere at the Morgans Group was extremely somber today, as Morgans Chairman Oliver Morgans had been confirmed dead. Along with most of the people on Nitzky Island, the remaining dozens or hundreds of people spread the news, and some people tried to stop them but couldn't.

This major event instantly caused a stir in all circles of America. Not only did the stock prices of Morgans Group's listed companies plummet, but the American stock market was also affected, with all stocks turning red.

Based on interviews with various reporters, the public has roughly pieced together what happened that day.

A destroyer suspected to be an Arleigh Burke-class Flight IIA launched an attack on Nitsky Island, firing missiles and cannons continuously, while two Seahawk destroyers also launched attacks from the sky.

This statement, coupled with America's military's admission that one of its destroyers had an accident, inevitably aroused suspicion worldwide.

What if the two sides start fighting, and DDG89 is ultimately defeated and sunk?

But aren't the Arleigh Burke-class Flight IIA destroyers and Seahawks America's own weapons? Is there some internal strife?

No way! This is an Arleigh Burke-class Flight IIA destroyer, one of the top destroyers besides the Type 055, and it's sunk.

Regardless of external doubts, the military spokesperson refused to acknowledge it. As for the Nitsky Island incident, it was only discovered afterward, which is why military forces from various bases were mobilized to surround and intercept it.

Yes, that's a perfect explanation.

Of course, the Morgans family had no time to pay attention to the military's explanation. As the only two sons in the Morgans family, they were fighting over their father's inheritance.

The Morgans family holds 100% control of its businesses. However, its subsidiaries, such as those in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, are not controlled to that extent. They are managed through family trusts and holding companies, allowing them to maintain control of each company at minimal cost.

Oliver Morgans had a net worth of $500 billion during his lifetime, ranking 19th on the America Rich List. Although his net worth was only $500 billion, the various companies he controlled were worth hundreds of billions of dollars, which is definitely not less than the top ten richest people.

His inheritance was coveted by his two sons, and both of them even attempted assassination that night, but unfortunately, they failed.

Despite their deep-seated hatred for each other, they had no choice but to attend the meeting of the conglomerate in person, because their deceased father had actually left a will.

Soon, everyone in the Morgans family had arrived. In addition to the two sons, there were nearly 10 grandchildren, including the eldest son Henry Morgans, the second son Peter Morgans, the children of the deceased third son, and even four nephews and nieces.

The lawyer presiding over today's session is named Eddie. He is a certified expert lawyer and also holds the honor of being a Supreme Court lawyer.

(Without the honor of being a Supreme Court lawyer, one is not even qualified to appear in the Supreme Court.)
Eddie, who was over 70 years old, rubbed his eyes. When he heard yesterday that Oliver had died, his first thought was that it was his old friend's two sons who did it. Who knew that he was killed by an unknown force? Life is truly unpredictable.

"The members of the Morgans family: Henry Morgans, Peter Morgans, Shirley Morgans, and finally Sarah Smith."
