Tokyo Detective

Chapter 430 The New Defense Minister is Very Brave
The collapse lasted for more than ten seconds, and dust billowed up. Naoki Hanyu couldn't see the situation in the ruins clearly, but he did see that a few lucky people had actually survived, including Rihanna herself.

[Ding! Intentional homicide, 7-star reward accumulated.]

Naoki Hanyu, seeing the approaching police sirens in the distance, decided to stop wasting time and simply disappear into the night.

Anyway, he has achieved his goal, now it's up to the remaining CIA members to see what they think.

Meanwhile, on the other side, more than a dozen armed agents lay in a dark alley, some of their bodies even violently torn in half, a truly gruesome sight.

The mastermind behind the large-scale murder scene was none other than Wright, the head of the Japanese branch. His escape was not out of fear, but simply to find a good position to eliminate his pursuers. He clearly succeeded and could now leave with ease.

Wright took out his phone and dialed his older brother's number, but no one answered, which puzzled him.
.
At the Takaoka Mansion, Takaoka Shosuke, an 85-year-old veteran politician who has served as Minister of Defense multiple times and has been reappointed as Minister of Defense, is chatting with his wife and political ally.

Reiko Takaoka, 78 years old, formerly known as Reiko Aso, comes from the Aso family, a top aristocratic family in Fukuoka Prefecture. Even in her old age, she still exudes nobility. Takaoka Shosuke's current status owes a debt to her.

"Shosuke, I'm a little worried about the position of Minister of Defense."

Takagang Zhangjie spoke in a flat tone.

"What is there to worry about? This is my fifth time serving as Minister of Defense, and my tenth year. I am extremely familiar with every aspect of the Ministry of Defense."

"But the former Minister of Defense, Juzo Tanaka, and Shinji Kitada, had very bad experiences."

Takaoka Shoji stopped eating.

"Don't worry, they are both rookie defense ministers. One studied agriculture in school and the other studied finance. They are far inferior to me, an old guy who has been in the army for many years. They can't even subdue the three armed forces of the Ministry of Defense. Let me tell you, in my hands, the entire defense force will be obedient."

Gao Ganglizi covered her mouth, almost bursting out laughing. How could an 85-year-old dare to spout such nonsense?

But it was precisely this confident demeanor that made her, a young lady from a prestigious family, fall for him, a man from a rural background.

"Keep being arrogant, but be careful not to be rude to the younger generation."

"I'm just stating the facts. Okay, I won't argue with a woman like you, okay? Hurry up and find something to wear for tomorrow's inauguration ceremony. I think you bought a new suit about six months ago."

"It was three years ago. You even got that wrong."

Just then, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked in. The man was named Ryosuke Takaoka, who was both the eldest grandson of Shosuke Takaoka and his chief secretary when he served as Minister of Defense.

"Grandpa, something bad has happened."

Takaoka Akira jumped up and hit his grandson on the head.

"Don't panic, your grandpa will always be fine."

Ryosuke Takaoka nodded, covering his head.

"Yes, yes, Grandpa will be fine. Let's get back to the main point. There was a terrible attack in Kawasaki City just now. Someone blew up a 10-story building. There are probably a lot of casualties. Both sides used various firearms, including heavy machine guns and rocket launchers."

Takaoka Shoji was stunned for a moment. No way! I just said that everything was under control, and the next second this terrible thing happened.

Facing his wife's smiling face, Takaoka Shoji forced himself to speak.

"It's nothing, just the use of heavy machine guns and rocket launchers. Besides, I'll only officially take office tomorrow, so what happened tonight won't be my fault."

Takaoka Shoji had indeed come up with a way to shift the blame, but his grandson's next words left him speechless.

"According to the investigation, the dead were all American CIA agents."

"CIA?"

Even a casual glance between the two could reveal their unease; this was the CIA, the Central Intelligence Agency. If dozens of people died, mostly from the CIA, the Ministry of Defense would face just as much trouble as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It's even possible that he'll have to negotiate with the CIA during his future term, which would put him in a very passive position as America's subordinate.

Now Gao Gangzhangjie also became nervous.

"Ryosuke, go to the scene quickly and be sure to tell me the details."

"Yes, I'll go now."

Soon, only the elderly couple remained in the room, snuggling together.

"Don't worry about the old woman, I won't take any responsibility for anything."

Takaoka Shoji was somewhat relieved that the inauguration ceremony was scheduled for tomorrow. If it had happened today, the inauguration ceremony would have been held tonight, and such a terrible incident would have occurred. He didn't want to end up like his two juniors, bowing deeply in obeisance.

Takaoka Reiko was deeply worried.

“I’m not afraid of responsibility, but I’m worried about the pressure America will put on you. It wouldn’t be good for your health if you got upset.”

Soon, Takaoka Shoji's grandson brought him even more devastating news.

“Grandpa is really in trouble. It’s not just one place. Another building was also massacred, with a death toll of 63. According to the intelligence we’ve gathered, more than a hundred victims in both places were American CIA agents.”

"What, hundreds of special agents?"

Takaoka Shoji and his wife exchanged a glance, both clearly shocked.

These are hundreds of Taiwanese agents, yet they were eliminated overnight without anyone noticing. Does Japan have such terrifying power?
In an instant, the couple began to suspect someone.

"I understand, we must find out the truth."

"Yes."

Time passed by, and just as Takaoka Shoji was about to fall asleep, more bad news reached his ears.

"Grandpa, something terrible has happened! The YMCA just released a video admitting to attacking the CIA, claiming to have uprooted the CIA's Japanese branch and temporary base. And this time, the video was even released openly on the internet."

"The National Salvation Youth Association?"

Gao Gangzhangjie took out the old man's phone and opened it. Sure enough, he found Da Da's video on the first page of the search results. In it, there was still that handsome face, and the comments and likes were increasing every second.

"In order to eradicate the existing cancer in Japan, the Youth Salvation Association launched Operation Heavenly Punishment against the CIA in Japan tonight. The plan was very successful and the CIA was completely wiped out."

Half of the CIA members who were executed were transferred here under the pretext of the recent port incident, and the other half were from their Japanese branch, which had been entrenched in Japan for at least several years. "We..."

At this moment, Takaoka Shosuke finally figured out the situation. There was no way around it; apart from his own message, the other information in the video uploaded by Hanyu Naoki was indeed true.

As you can imagine, the entire internet exploded because someone used the AI ​​"Miss" to hack into the website, so the video hasn't been deleted yet, and the speed at which new videos are being released has increased significantly.

Some people think the Youth Salvation Association did a good job, and that America should be cut off for daring to put her hand into the neon.

Some people think the Youth Salvation Society went too far, after all, this is America.

Of course, many people also directly accused the YMCA of being damned terrorists, leading to a huge division in public opinion online.

For many, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The next morning, Marika (Mei Hanyu) was also confused after returning from her morning run. She recognized all the words in the morning news, but she couldn't understand them when put together.

ha?
Was the CIA wiped out?

How could that be? Even the news in Japan has learned to joke.

Marika immediately called Smith, but no one answered. So she contacted CIA headquarters and received a shocking answer.

The CIA's presence in Japan has been uprooted once again, this time more severely than three years ago. After all, last time they decided to withdraw temporarily, giving criminals the opportunity to kill their former branch manager.

But this time it's different. Not only did the current branch director die, but the more important assistant director also died. This was the fifth-highest-ranking official in the CIA.

Marika swept the doorway with a broom while lost in thought.

The people who assigned the mission are all dead, so she shouldn't have any reason to continue carrying it out, right?
However, after she revealed everything, her superiors demanded that she obtain Naoki Hanyu's research materials before retreating, and explicitly stated that no one would be sent to Japan in the short term.

The sudden turn of events disrupted her plans. She had originally intended to proceed slowly, but now, was there still enough time?

Marika didn't know.

Just then, the gate to the courtyard of Yuzuru's mansion across the street opened, and Naoki Yuzuru drove out, taking the time to greet her.

Good morning, Ms. Yuzuru.

Good morning, Mr. Yuzuru.

You don't look well. Did you not sleep well?

"I'm just not used to it."

Naoki Hanyu couldn't help but smile as he looked at the female agent's face; he really couldn't hold it in any longer.

Even though the other party's superiors and branches have been completely wiped out, leaving them all alone with no support, they still have to act like nothing's wrong and explain to the instigator. It's quite absurd.

Marika found the man's smile in the car really irritating, so her desire to finish things quickly became even stronger.

Naoki Hanyu was also considering when to resolve the final hidden danger. It would be best to wait until the other party made their move elsewhere, since it might attract the CIA's attention if it happened in Matsukaze.

And so, the two smiling neighbors each harbored their own secrets.
