Tokyo Detective

Chapter 402 War isn't something you can just stop whenever you want.

Toyokawa Town, a mountain town in autumn, attracts many tourists.

In the town government building, Mayor Xiong convened a meeting of all town officials early in the morning.

"Everyone, I have something I'd like to discuss with you, something that's good for our town."

The dozen or so town officials were a little surprised, as there had only been a few things happening in the town this month.

During the busy farming season, it is easy for tens of thousands of people to cultivate 30 hectares of land. The town's livelihood still depends on Naoki Hanyu's lumber mill, gold mine, and the already fully booked Maple Leaf Hot Spring Street.

The size of the timber mill and gold mine did not increase much, and together they still numbered around two thousand people.

However, with the road reconstruction, the Hongyeshan Hot Spring Hotel has grown several times in size in the past three years, with several new buildings resembling small palaces. After all, the combination of an endless expanse of red maple forests and high-quality hot springs is rare in Japan, along with the beautiful Mirror Lake.

Most importantly, Toyokawa is quite close to Tokyo, giving it a significant advantage, as it's less than a 3-hour drive away.

Nowadays, the entire town of Fengchuan sees hundreds of visitors every day from autumn to spring, even forming a commercial street called Hongyeshan, which allows many townspeople to open shops or work, providing hundreds of jobs.

It can be said that the 1 people and thousands of households in Toyokawa Town are all working for Naoki Hanyu.

"Uemura Kuma said loudly."

"Mr. Yuzuru has 1500 hectares of rice fields to harvest. Because there are not enough harvesters, he needs to harvest by hand. It costs 3 yen a day, and it will take two days in total. Everyone should ask the townspeople if anyone wants to go."

When the town officials heard that they were to work for Naoki Hanyu, they said nice things to him regardless of whether they were willing or not.

“I believe most of the townspeople would be willing to go; the Toyokawa region can never repay Mr. Hanyu’s kindness.”

"That's right, without Mr. Yuzuru, there would be no new Toyokawa-cho."

"Every second counts, we must gather the townspeople now."

"Let's go."

"Gratitude, repaying kindness."

A few hours later, more than 3000 people boarded over a hundred buses and headed to Sakae Town, a journey that would take four hours.
.
In the Sakae-cho farmland, a young man bends down to harvest rice, then stands up and pats his lower back.

"Oh, my waist, my waist."

A young woman nearby punched him directly.

"Stop slacking off and get to work! Didn't you say you wanted to experience farmer life?"

"I didn't know it would be this tiring. I was bent over and cutting for two hours."

"Besides our factory wages, we also get a daily bonus of 3 yuan. How can you be so lazy?"

The two individuals, a man and a woman, are employees of Tianyu Qilin Pharmaceutical Factory and are both undergraduate graduates.

Not only the two of them, but half of the more than 3000 employees in the pharmaceutical factory came to help. After all, they not only received their full salary but also a bonus of 3 yuan, which tempted many people.

Of course, this harvesting effort involved more than just 1500 people. Naoki Hanyu also arranged for the recruitment of more than 2000 temporary workers, since it would be difficult to recruit too many people in a short period of time.

With the arrival of people from Fengchuan Town, the progress of the entire Rongligenchuan Agricultural Company suddenly accelerated.

30% was completed on the first day, 50% on the second day, and all was harvested by noon on the third day.

Naoki Hanyu stood beside the farmland, watching the dark clouds that had spread across the sky, and in the distance, rain was even beginning to fall.

"Luckily we finished collecting them in time, otherwise it would have been a real problem if it rained."

Just then, Saeko Amamiya, dressed as a peasant woman, walked over and handed her a bottle of drink.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"You've worked hard too. I didn't know you could use a sickle."

Saeko Amamiya unscrewed the bottle cap and took large gulps of water. The water droplets traveled down her lips to her chin and then to her sexy neck, until they were completely absorbed by the vest she was wearing underneath. Her foxy eyes seemed even more alluring.

“When I was a child, my family farmed and I often helped out. We just counted that a total of 16875 tons of rice were harvested. The yield of 750 kilograms per mu is already the highest yield of rice fields in Japan. Based on a rice-to-grain ratio of 0.72, it is estimated that it can produce 12000 tons of Koshihikari rice.”

"It's alright, all my effort was worth it."

Saeko Amamiya suddenly hugged Naoki Hanyu's shoulder and started acting cute.

"Can this batch of rice be sold in my supermarket?"

"Can you even finish 12000 tons of rice? Even if the retail price is halved, it's still worth billions."

“Sure, I trust you won’t pressure me to accept the money.” Naoki Hanyu nodded.

"You made the decision yourself in finance, but it's not going to be sold now; we'll have to wait a while."

"I'll listen to you."

The sweet, coquettish voice startled Naoki Hanyu, who turned to look at the ingratiating Saeko Amamiya, making her appear uncomfortable.

"What happened to my face?"

"Your face is beautiful, but you seem strange today. You're so obedient like a rabbit. You used to be like a fox, both seductive and cunning."

Saeko Amamiya rolled her eyes at the man.

"Do you not like it?"

"Don't force yourself. Only by showing your personality can you keep me. Do you think I'd be lacking a 'vase' who's always obedient?"

"."
.
As Naoki Hanyu finished his harvest, the news reached the ears of those who had been paying close attention, such as the managing director of the agricultural cooperative, Takamori Nishimura, who was in charge of business in the Kanto region.

In the agricultural cooperative, besides the chairman, only the other two executive directors can compare to him. Even cabinet ministers treat him with utmost respect. After all, cabinet ministers generally serve four-year terms, while he has been in the position of executive director for 16 years, and no one can shake his position.

This position will only belong to his son in the future, passed down through generations like a state-owned enterprise in a certain country.

The agricultural cooperative leader slammed his fist on the table in displeasure.

"You actually harvested it all for him, Ohara. I'm very dissatisfied with what you did."

Oharajima obediently lowered his head.

"Your Excellency, I am truly sorry. I thought he wouldn't be able to finish harvesting in three days and would eventually give in. I never expected this."

"Alright, let's not do it again."

"Yes."

"I heard that some farmers in your area are dissatisfied with the arrangements made by the farmers' association. I can't understand why they would still be dissatisfied after cooperating for more than ten years. Is it because you haven't done a good enough job?"

Oharajima immediately knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his face.

"That's not the case. It's that those families banded together to demand a higher purchase price."

“Is that so? We’ve been cooperating for a long time. Since it’s just a momentary act of greed, you should try to persuade them. We can’t afford to delay the busy farming season.”

"Yes, I'll go now."

As Oharajima left, Nishimura Takamori's expression was very gloomy.

Yes, we can't let the busy farming season be delayed; this is a crucial day that will affect the agricultural cooperatives this year and next.

In fact, the agricultural cooperatives have lost more than 1.8 trillion in financial losses, and even more in other areas combined. That's why they are desperate to make money. They know it will cause public anger, but they can't care about that anymore.

Thus, the warehouse fire occurred, and he orchestrated the protests and the killings.

And among all these actions, one policeman was particularly lively, and that person was none other than Naoki Hanyu.

Not only did he obstruct my arrangements during the protests and threaten my cousin, but he also "did whatever he wanted" in the Minamino Souichi case. Even though Naoki Hanyu's superiors were planning to ignore it, that guy insisted on investigating, which distracted me a lot.

He held a grudge against Naoki Hanyu because of various things, and he also knew that Naoki Hanyu had guessed that the Minamino Soichi case was related to the agricultural cooperative, which is why there was that contract.

If signing the contract meant he had to back down, he could become a "partner" with that arrogant young man, but unfortunately, the other party refused.

"Naoki Hanyu".

Nishimura Takamori didn't have time to deal with the young man for the time being. Although he didn't want to admit that he was not afraid of Hanyu Naoki's revenge because he was in Chiba Prefecture, he was helpless against Hanyu Naoki, who was based in the Metropolitan Police Department in Tokyo.

Unless a great deal of force is used, it is really impossible to deal with a mere "policeman".

"The most urgent task is to find another 'young man,' Little Dog, are you really that eager to take over?"

It's obvious to everyone that Koizumi Jiro wants to use this rice shortage as a political achievement to gain power, and that would make the farmers' cooperatives a stepping stone, which is something the farmers' cooperatives cannot tolerate.

In Nishimura Takamori's view, the two sides would eventually become "partners," but before that, they had to decide who would back down first.

Nishimura Takamori was unaware that he wanted a temporary ceasefire, but someone would never agree to it.

As Typhoon Momo approached the Kanto region, storms officially engulfed the entire Tokyo area.
