Tokyo Detective

Chapter 445 The Lucky One Opens a Treasure Chest
Two days later, the Tokyo media began to sense that something was amiss.

Two days ago, Naoki Hanyu, a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, was taken away by the Special Investigation Department to assist in the investigation. He has not been released yet, which has already caused a public opinion storm on the Internet. People are speculating about what is going on, and some are even spreading the news that the Special Investigation Department is deliberately making things difficult for him.

Now, things have gotten really messy. Several prosecutors from the Special Investigation Department have been arrested in succession, and everyone realizes that something is wrong; it can't all be a coincidence.

Therefore, many viewers have already guessed that the Metropolitan Police Department and the Special Investigation Department are at odds. One is a law enforcement agency with more than 5 police officers, and the other is a rogue judicial agency with a few hundred members. Neither of them are easy to deal with.

This is getting interesting. Not only is it attracting attention within Japan, but even foreign onlookers are eager to know how this conflict will escalate.
.
On the morning of the third day after Naoki Hanyu's arrest, Ten'ei Shiratori, the deputy director, held a press conference for another case. Just as it was about to end, a reporter suddenly asked a question.

"Deputy Director Shiratori, six prosecutors from the Special Investigation Department have been arrested. What are your thoughts on this? I've heard that even the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office is involved."

Shiratori Ten'ei stopped tidying up the documents and explained calmly.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have paid attention to these things. When someone commits a crime, they will be arrested and prosecuted. That's our duty as police officers, regardless of the criminal's identity. As for whether the charges are valid, that depends on the court's judgment. But speaking of the Special Investigation Department, I'm quite curious why the head of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, who has been taken away to assist in the investigation for three days, hasn't been brought back yet."

Our Metropolitan Police Department had planned an operation against the YMCA, but it has been disrupted by the Special Investigation Department abusing its power. I hope the Special Investigation Department will give the Metropolitan Police Department a response as soon as possible.

"."

Goodness! All the reporters present were excited. They thought it was just another bureaucratic refrain to send them away, that it was all a misunderstanding, and that they were currently negotiating or something like that.

Unexpectedly, the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Police Department directly attacked the Special Investigation Department, making the conflict between the two sides very clear, and now the whole of Tokyo is filled with the smoke of war.

In the Metropolitan Police Department Inspector General's office, Koichi Uemura was drinking tea while watching Ten'ei Shiratori being interviewed, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Shiratori is really impulsive. How could he say such things to the media that are detrimental to unity? This will cause trouble."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the office landline rang, clearly the trouble that Uemura Hiroyuki had mentioned.

"Hello, this is Koichi Uemura. I'm Officer Matsuyama from the National Police Agency. What can I do for you?"

"Chief Inspector Uemura, your Metropolitan Police Department's arrest of six prosecutors in two days has caused a disturbance. I hope you can simplify things and release the Special Investigation Department personnel if possible."

Koichi Uemura gave him a look that said, "Are you stupid?", but unfortunately, the other person couldn't see it.

"This is really putting me in a difficult position. You know these cases attract a lot of public attention, and I..."

Ten minutes later, Koichi Uemura hung up the phone with a disdainful look on his face. As he hung up, the angry breathing of Police Commissioner Takashi Matsuyama could still be heard.

"What the hell? You think you can just release someone whenever you call me? I'm only cooperating because I'm giving you face. What are you going to do about it if I don't? If you're so capable, let the National Security Council issue an order and see if those ruling party members dare to risk public opinion to release the accused prisoner. Humph."

The National Police Agency cannot directly command local police agencies; it can only impose restrictions. Generally, the responsibility falls to the safety committees of each prefecture.

Of course, this is theoretically impossible. In reality, apart from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, the National Police Agency's control over other local police agencies is very strong, and they all obey its orders.

However, the Metropolitan Police Department is different. As the police agency of the capital, the Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner is the only Superintendent General of the Police Department. They have an independence that other police agencies do not have.

Your National Police Agency can set nationally unified law enforcement standards, but the Metropolitan Police Department can independently adjust the implementation details; they can come up with different plans whenever they want.

Your National Police Agency can request reports of major cases from the Metropolitan Police Department, but it cannot overturn the Metropolitan Police Department's decisions, meaning it cannot change the Metropolitan Police Department's law enforcement practices.

Even coordinating joint operations across jurisdictions requires the approval of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Even high-ranking officials in the Metropolitan Police Department can only nominate candidates; appointment requires approval from both the national government and the Tokyo Metropolitan Public Safety Commission.

The National Security Council is indeed dominated by the ruling party, but the Tokyo Security Council is actually stronger by the opposition parties; otherwise, Koichi Uemura would have lost his position long ago.

Koichi Uemura is backed by the opposition party, and with only one year left before his retirement, he wouldn't dare to show any respect, not even to the Prime Minister, let alone the Commissioner of National Police Agency.

Naoki Hanyu was completely unaware of the uproar outside. He was eating and exercising normally in his detention cell, leaving the prosecutors watching outside completely bewildered. Was this guy on vacation?
[Ding! You have received a 7-star Sin reward.]

[Ding! You have received a 6-star Sin reward.]

Naoki Hanyu stopped exercising and sat up, much to the disappointment of the two prosecutors who had been observing his physique. "Why don't you keep practicing?" they thought.

Naoki Hanyu sat on the ground. He already knew through the system that the CIA agents who were still staying in Japan had given up. Thinking about it, it made sense. It had been more than half a month and there hadn't been a single clue. How could they possibly investigate?

As for the 6-star reward, it was for killing those whale hunters not long ago. To be honest, he really didn't know anything about the origins of these fish feeders or who they worked for.

Naoki Hanyu suddenly shouted towards the outside of the cell.

"Miss Koizumi, could you please make me a cup of coffee, and a pork chop rice bowl as well?"

"."

Not long after, a petite and beautiful woman walked in. She was 1.55 meters tall and had a youthful face, which was quite impressive. Most importantly, she had a good body proportion and her legs, which were covered in black stockings, were straight and beautiful. I heard that she had only graduated a few years ago.

Koizumi Takako complained.

"Officer Yuzuru, could you please stop calling me? There are clearly other people in charge."

"I only call you because you're pretty. If you were even slightly ugly, I wouldn't call you."

"."

Takako Koizumi didn't know what to say. She had a bright future after graduating from the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo, but now, because of what seemed to be a connection with Naoki Hanyu, she was starting to feel the rejection from her colleagues.

After all, six people have already been arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department, and you're still getting along well with the culprit.

After Koizumi Takako put down the food and left, Hanyu Naoki opened the treasure chest while eating.

[Ding! Opened a 7-star resource chest and obtained an E-2D early warning aircraft, cost price 90 billion.]

E-2D Early Warning Aircraft

The America Navy's dedicated early warning aircraft can take off from aircraft carriers and airfields. With the Air Force's E-3 early warning aircraft becoming outdated and the E-7 still under construction, it is considered America's most advanced early warning aircraft.

(While the E-2D and the KJ-2000 from the Eastern superpower each have their own advantages, its overall performance is still somewhat inferior to the KJ-500.)
[Basic parameters: Crew of 5, Length 17.60 meters, Wingspan 24.56 meters, Height 5.58 meters, Empty weight 18 tons, Maximum takeoff weight 26 tons, Maximum speed 648 km/h, Service ceiling 10 km, Range 2,708 km, Endurance 6 hours.]

[Anti-stealth capability: It can capture the resonant signals of stealth aircraft, with a maximum detection range of 550 kilometers.]

[Composite scanning mode: Simultaneously performs 360-degree mechanical rotation scanning + electronic beam focusing scanning (focusing on key areas), which is 6 times more efficient than traditional radar.]

[Anti-jamming capability: Employing LPI (Low Probability of Interception) waveform + frequency agility technology, the radar signal is difficult for the enemy to detect.]

Cooperative Combat System

[Integration of ships, aircraft, and missiles: Guiding Standard Missile-6 for over-the-horizon interception, providing location information for stealth targets to launch surprise attacks, and extending the detection depth of air defense systems]

Naoki Hanyu was stunned when he saw the reward; he hadn't expected America to be awarded an E-2D early warning aircraft.

If having four F-35 fighter jets of various models wasn't enough to complete his fleet before, now with the addition of the E-2D early warning aircraft, his four-aircraft formation is absolutely no less technologically advanced than any other air force in the world.

This wasn't Naoki Hanyu's first time flying an F-35 fighter jet. He believed that even if his skills were slightly inferior to those of professional pilots, his physical attributes and other physical advantages made him no less capable.

At that moment, Naoki Hanyu smiled, a very happy smile. "In a situation of equal numbers, I doubt any air force could rival me, right?"

However, the E-2D early warning aircraft also has drawbacks, namely high maintenance costs and complicated maintenance.

At this moment, Naoki Hanyu was a little resentful of the system.

"Why didn't you give me the skills of a master mechanic? I'm so afraid to even touch a plane."

The draw continues.

[Ding! Opened a 7-star skill treasure chest and obtained the martial arts secret technique: Dragon Fist (A)]

[Dragon Fist: A martial arts master's ultimate technique from the Eastern Continent 1500 years ago. It allows the muscles, blood vessels, and nerves of the entire arm to reach a state of perfect harmony in a short period of time, breaking the 100% limit of fist power and reaching 200% to 500%. Strength +15, Endurance +5]

[Note: The greater the intensity, the greater the burden on the arms. If you use 500% of your strength, the cells in the arm muscles will die, leading to nerve atrophy as a sequela.]

"."

Naoki Hanyu realized that he was incredibly lucky today, first with the early warning aircraft, and then with his simple and unpretentious skills.

Dragon Fist, also known as Powerful Brick Flying Fist.

Of course, the side effects are also significant. If you activate 500% intensity, you would have to lose an arm. But would Naoki Hanyu care about that?

He didn't know, and he didn't want to try 500% unless absolutely necessary. What if even his abnormally strong recovery ability couldn't work?

Despite the apprehension, trying it at 200% is still worthwhile.

Naoki Hanyu took a deep breath, and the next second, his entire right arm muscles underwent a strange change. The muscles seemed to be completely connected, as if they had become marble-like, and the blood vessels swelled up like menacing tree roots.

Without hesitation, Naoki Hanyu threw a punch into the air, creating a force like a level 4 gust of wind that swept through the cell.

Naoki Hanyu could feel muscle fatigue in his arms, similar to that caused by Raibu, but unlike Raibu, there was also a stinging pain as if his nerves were being stretched.

At this moment, he really wanted to try out the effect of using the Dragon Fist when he was at full strength. He could lift more than 10 tons of force and then amplify it several times. Just thinking about the power was exciting.

After the main course, it's time for dessert.

[Ding! Opened a 6-star resource chest, obtaining 5 sets of M3E1 multi-purpose anti-armor guns, 150 rounds of each of the 5 types of shells, with a finished product value of 1 million.]

[M3E1 Multipurpose Anti-Armor Gun: Full name M3E1 Multipurpose Anti-Armor Weapon System, it is a portable recoilless gun, used in a manner similar to a rocket launcher.]

[Maximum range is approximately 1000 meters; it can use anti-tank rounds, multi-purpose rounds, bunker-buster rounds (for breaching walls), airburst rounds, and thermobaric rounds.]

Not bad. Most importantly, it has a full 750 shells, which is enough to significantly increase the individual firepower of the split squad.

[Ding! Opened a 6-star skill chest and obtained the B-rank skill Super Neural]

The fiber bundle structure formed by the aggregation of nerve cells is, simply put, the "cable system" in the body, responsible for transmitting electrochemical signals throughout the body.

[Super Nerve: Enhances the function and regeneration speed of three types of nerves. Agility +5, Spirit +5]

[Increases the speed at which motor nerves transmit commands from the brain to the muscles.]

[Enhances sensory nerves: Increases the speed at which signals are transmitted from the skin and internal organs to the brain.]

[Enhance the autonomic nervous system: Achieve unconscious functions such as controlling heartbeat and digestion]

【Strength: 165】

[Endurance: 183]

[Agility: 134]

【Spirit: 145】

In an instant, Naoki Hanyu felt that his control over his body had taken another step forward, like upgrading from a 2M internet speed to a 4M speed, although it was a bit of a pity that it didn't reach fiber optic speed.

It should be noted that Naoki Hanyu's level of martial arts already allows him to control his nervous system to the limits of human capabilities; now, he is forcibly upgrading his hardware.

Naoki Hanyu looked thoughtfully at the B-level skill, Full Muscle Control. Sure enough, the amplification had changed, increasing from the lowest level of 50% to 60%, and the highest level of 100% to 120%.

"This is interesting. I really want to cause a big scene."

The improvement in his strength did give Naoki Hanyu a desire to fight his way out, but fortunately he was able to restrain himself and continue to act according to the plan.

When Naoki Hanyu was arrested, he was indeed caught off guard and didn't have time to create a clone to cause trouble. However, he had a permanent avatar who stayed with the AI ​​to manage public opinion.

So he has another avatar outside to receive information, and he also learned that the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry notified that the reduction in agricultural and social welfare benefits would be changed from May of next year to February of next year.

Naoki Hanyu muttered to himself.

"Kozuke Jiro, it seems you've already chosen sides. You've really let me down."
.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the avatar is using artificial intelligence to spread rumors online while also providing news to the original entity from time to time.

However, the intense activity over the past three days has made the avatar lazy, lying down and uttering resentful words.

"Ugh, it's so annoying. There are still two days before I can disappear. I wish I could disappear now and not have to work."

That's what they say, but they still stick to their posts.

Suddenly, he stood up because he saw a new message from the Japanese cabinet government.

"In seven days, the Prime Minister will lead a business delegation to visit various partner countries. This will be an important and great trip."

"Is that prime minister who's been hiding in his turtle shell about to leave the nest?"

The avatar's eyes suddenly became more lively, as if Naoki Hanyu himself had taken over the avatar.

"The Prime Minister is leaving the nest, no rush, now is the time to visit old friends."

At 9 a.m., at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry building, an avatar dressed as a staff member approached the facial recognition machine, first taking out his work card to read the information, and then having his face recognized to confirm his identity.

"Ding"

The information on the work card on the screen is: Production Bureau, Agricultural Management Section, Fumio Yamamoto.

Naoki Hanyu recently accompanied Jiro Koizumi on dozens, even hundreds, of trips to the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Province. Of course, he wasn't just acting as a bodyguard.

The layout and route of the provincial government building, and how to sneak into the building, were all planned. Yamamoto Fumio's card was stolen by Hanyu Naoki back then. Although the other party later replaced it, it was still usable. Now, people who have a similar ability to control themselves with their muscles are using it.
