Tokyo Detective

Chapter 438 Tanaka Juzo is assassinated
A large number of police officers quickly arrived and set up a cordon around the area.

Since there are no surveillance cameras by the lake, we don't know what happened. Did he accidentally fall into the water and drown, or what?

The police couldn't find any unusual traces by the lake, and the woman who appeared to be the prime suspect was the one with the most obvious suspicion.

So they had no choice but to report it upwards, since the deceased was a former three-star lieutenant general, and even the Pentagon was alerted.

If McAnthers's death was an accident, it would be easier to explain. But if it was retaliation from the YMCA, things would become very complicated.

The fact that a terrorist organization was involved in the assassination of the former lieutenant general by America will definitely have a huge impact.

So a large number of FBI agents were mobilized, but of course they couldn't find their target, because the avatar hidden in the lake had already disappeared on its own.

When Naoki Hanyu first arrived in Hawaii, he sent an alias to smuggle himself to Mexico City on a black plane, and then from Mexico City to Georgia, USA. He has a well-established smuggling route after many smuggling trips.

The blame lies with Michael Anser, who lives in Georgia, just two days away from Mexico.

As for Naoki Hanyu himself, he has already separated from Ivanka and is flying back to Japan in a private jet.

In Hanyu City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan, Juzo Tanaka looks out the car window at the Tone River, which flows through the Kanto region and is the mother river of Kanto agriculture.

"I can't help it," asked Saburo Momoi, the assistant.

"President, you don't really need to be there for this publicity event. There are only a little over 100 households, and the total cultivated land area is less than 100 hectares."

“That’s not how it’s calculated. If the agricultural cooperative wants to develop further, even a few farmers are enough for me to handle.”

"Yes, the president is very insightful."

Tanaka Juzo's eyes were filled with confidence. He believed that Sakura Aya would choose to cooperate with the agricultural company, and the next step was to cultivate the rice seedlings well.

Shortly after, Tanaka Juzo arrived at the promotional event, where more than 200 men and women over the age of 40 were sitting, holding small gifts given by the organizers.

A staff member came over and said.

"President Tanaka, you may come up on stage now."

"sorry to bother you."

Tanaka Juzo came to the podium and asked loudly.

Do you all know me?

The farmers looked at each other in bewilderment, and then voices began to offer answers.

"I know you. Aren't you the Dogeza Minister?"

"You are prime minister for 10 days."

"You are the head of the agricultural cooperative."

Tanaka Juzo was not angry when he heard that the Minister of the Dogeza was not angry.

"It's good that everyone knows me. The purpose of this publicity meeting is to let everyone know the benefits of agricultural cooperatives to the vast number of farmers."

"But it's the same when we cooperate with the agricultural cooperatives. They take care of everything, and all we have to do is plant and harvest."

Tanaka Juzo asked in return.

"What do you think about the farmers' association's practice of forcing people to deposit money?"

The elderly man hesitated when asked the question.

"It's alright, I'll just treat it like a fixed deposit in the bank."

"What if you need money temporarily? The Agricultural Cooperative has lost 2 trillion yen this year. Haven't you noticed that when the JA Agricultural Cooperative Bank takes out money, they will use many conditions to make it difficult for you not to take the money and to keep it in the Agricultural Cooperative?"

"."

Tanaka Juzo's strategy was very simple: let the farmers know that the conditions of the agricultural cooperatives were better than those of the agricultural associations, and that the operation of the agricultural associations was no longer suitable for modern times.

"Our purchase price for rice during the autumn harvest is 1600 yuan per 5 kilograms. Could you please tell me the exact markup the agricultural cooperative mentioned when they purchased your rice?"

The farmers present fell silent, because their rice cost 5 kilograms 800.

"800"

"900"

Someone tried to explain, "After all, there are also transportation costs and middlemen involved."

Tanaka Juzo turned on his computer and played a video, explaining the proportion of transportation costs and various intermediary issues in the simplest way.

“Our agricultural cooperative doesn’t have five layers of middlemen like the agricultural cooperatives. We buy directly from you and then sell to major retailers. We’ve also built a Kanto transportation network, and the cost is less than 50 yen per kilogram. Transportation costs in the Kanto region are already low. It’s the agricultural cooperative that asked you to share the transportation costs for other remote areas,”

Ultimately, a small boat is easier to turn around. If the scale were to increase several times, an additional layer of intermediaries would be needed, or a large number of employees would be required.

The promotional event was a great success. Tanaka Juzo shook hands with the "partners" who agreed to sign contracts with a big smile. Of the 100 households at the event, 67 were willing to become members.

He can no longer control his actions, which are tantamount to breaking ties with the farmers' association. Anyway, the farmers' association also wants the farmers' community to die, so let's see who dies first.

Tanaka Juzo grasped the hand of an old farmer with a blank expression.

"Welcome to the farm cooperative family."

The old farmer still didn't respond, and suddenly a dagger appeared under his long sleeves, which he plunged into Tanaka Juzo's chest to everyone's shock.

Assistant Saburo Momoi quickly tackled the old farmer, and the other security guards also helped.

Tanaka Juzo clutched his chest, listening to the commotion, and used his last strength to give his final words.

"Don't panic. Let the guests go home in peace and tell them that the agreement between the farmers' community and the villagers will not change."

Tanaka Juzo fainted after speaking, which startled Momoi Saburo, who shouted loudly.

Soon, an ambulance took Tanaka Juzo to the hospital, and the elderly farmer named Miura E was arrested by the local police.

Saburo Momoi, as both an assistant and a student, was extremely anxious. He only breathed a sigh of relief when the doctor informed him that the surgery was successful and he needed to be transferred to the ICU. At first, seeing the incision on his heart was terrifying.

The stabbing of Tanaka Juzo quickly made headlines in the evening news in Japan.

After all, this was a former minister and former prime minister, and even though he has been rescued, it is still a major event.
.
Agricultural Cooperative Headquarters, 1-3-1 Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

The president of the agricultural association, Mitsumasa Yamano, is receiving a report from his subordinate.

"Oh, Tanaka Juzo was assassinated. That's really bad. What? The culprit was mentally ill. You continue to follow the case."

"Yes."

After hanging up, Hikaru Yamano picked up another phone and dialed again.

"It's time to move out. Remember to take down the farm in one fell swoop."

Hikaru Yamano wouldn't wait for the other party to successfully cultivate the natural rice; he wouldn't allow it even if there was only a one percent chance of turning the tables.

That very evening, the grain stored by the United Farmers' Cooperative in Tonegawa was first anonymously reported, and then the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's Health Bureau detected excessive levels of additives, resulting in the immediate disposal of this batch of vegetables and fruits that could not be preserved for long.

Some people even came forward to say that the agricultural cooperative was selling second-grade rice as first-grade rice, and that there was malicious competition and other negative news. In just one night, the entire online public opinion seemed to be condemning the agricultural cooperative.

On the other side, Vice President Saeko Amamiya also had to take over the president's duties, but unfortunately, she was turned away when she led a group to visit the Tian Sheng Research Institute.

Aya Sakura personally poured tea for Saeko Amamiya.

"Ms. Amamiya, I'm so sorry, but given what happened today, I can't agree to your request right now. Please wait until you've taken care of other things first."

Sakura Aya was indeed persuaded by Tanaka Juzo, but the cooperative was in turmoil, and she dared not gamble her years of hard work on it.

Saeko Amamiya looked a little grim. Natural rice was the most crucial step for the agricultural cooperative, but unfortunately, no matter how she tried to persuade them, she couldn't convince them to have faith in the cooperative.

Just as Saeko Amamiya left the Tian Sheng Research Institute in dejection, her phone rang. It was a call from the most important man in her life—Naoki Hanyu.

"Saeko, I saw on the plane that Tanaka was assassinated. Is that true?"

"It's true. Not only was the commune leader assassinated, but a lot of news that was bad for the commune also appeared overnight, and it couldn't be suppressed."

After listening, Naoki Hanyu only gave one sentence.

"wait me back."

Naoki Hanyu didn't know the details of Tanaka Juzo's stabbing; he just wanted to catch the farmers' cooperative and beat them up.

As Naoki Hanyu disembarked at 4 a.m., a shocking video suddenly surfaced online.

"The assassination of Tanaka Juzo was carried out by the Agricultural Cooperative, whose aim was to continue monopolizing Japanese agriculture. Our Youth Salvation Association will absolutely not allow such a disastrous act against the country and its people. This traitor will be punished by Heaven."
