Tokyo Detective

Chapter 491 8-Star Reward Star Shield Satellite

Natsumi Senbon left the office, leaving Naoki Hanyu deep in thought.

The pressure he is facing today is the heaviest he has experienced in recent years. In the past, there were others like Shiratori Ten'ei and Uemura Koichi, and even in the recent general election, the party under the most pressure is the current ruling party.

But today is different. I've become the highest-ranking person, responsible for holding up the sky, and directly facing pressure from all sides. I have to say, this feeling is really a bit unpleasant.

With pressure from the government, business, and education sectors, it would be very troublesome to resist on my own. It was definitely easier to secretly fire shots in the past.

However, once I become the director of the Special Action Bureau, if another headless case caused by him occurs, I will also be held responsible, since the Special Action Bureau was created to prevent similar incidents.

Just like previous defense ministers who had to kneel in apology as the supreme commander, even though the mistakes had little to do with them.

Naoki Hanyu also considered using the Youth Salvation Association, but it seemed inappropriate to do so without finding a suitable reason.

After all, the YMCA has already established a reputation for doing anything for the future of Japan. It's okay to kill people indiscriminately without a reason, but he's reluctant to tarnish the brand he's spent half a year building. He needs a reason that Japanese youth can accept, and this will take time to plan.

Naoki Hanyu muttered to himself.

"I've had a lot of unpleasant things happen today. I really want to kill all the guys who are in my way. But no rush. I need to secure my position as the head of the Special Task Force first, maybe by making a 'great contribution'."

Just then, the system's voice sounded.

[Ding! You have obtained an 8-star Sin reward.]

Naoki Hanyu was stunned for a moment, then realized that America's efficiency was indeed very different from that of Japan; such a big case was resolved in just 10 days.

[Ding! Opened an 8-star resource chest and obtained a set of 3 Star Shield military satellites, worth 700 billion Neon Coins]

[StarShield: A modular military platform satellite with multiple functions including reconnaissance, communication, and electronic warfare; it is America's most advanced military satellite program.]

The three satellites each carry one of three core payloads: a reconnaissance satellite, a communication satellite, and a weapons platform satellite, each with its own specific functions and strengths.

[Reconnaissance satellite (Star Shield): Equipped with high-resolution optics and high-performance SAR radar. The SAR radar can penetrate relatively thin clouds and can image and track armored units and missile launchers in real time.]

[Communication satellite: Ultra-wide bandwidth radio frequency array, single link rate 100Gbps, latency ≤50ms (traditional military satellites approximately 600ms), supports 5000 concurrent terminals.]

[Weapon platform satellite: Equipped with missile early warning sensors/electronic warfare modules, with an interference radius of 200km and a frequency band of 1–40GHz, capable of detecting ballistic missile exhaust plumes and jamming enemy radar communications.]

Each StarShield satellite is equipped with a 100Gbps laser link, supporting high-speed data transmission between satellites and forming a dynamic self-healing network.

Each StarShield satellite weighs 1.35 tons, is equipped with dual solar panels for charging, and features an integrated AI collision avoidance system and attitude control system. Even if it loses contact with the ground, it can still autonomously complete its preset tasks.

The main military functions of the Star Shield system are: reconnaissance satellites detect targets → communication satellites calculate the optimal strike path → weapon satellites automatically activate electronic jamming or guide weapons.

[Self-destruct system: Not only can it self-destruct, but it can also be used to collide with other satellites.]

[Please note: StarShield can bypass America's military's encrypted communication with other StarShield satellites and even use them to transmit data, but this carries the risk of exposure. Please decide for yourself whether you are willing to take the risk.]

Although Naoki Hanyu wanted to tell himself not to be surprised, the system's rewards were more and more astonishing than ever.

This thing is a StarShield satellite, which can be understood as the military version of Starlink, and it's many times more expensive than Starlink.

The cost of a single Starlink satellite is several million US dollars, while StarShield costs between 50 million and 100 million US dollars, depending on the core payloads they are equipped with.

Naoki Hanyu wasn't really that clear about military satellites. He had only heard that America's Star Shield project aimed to launch 4.3 Star Shield satellites to surround the Earth, but so far only about 100 had been launched, far from the goal. He wondered if they could finish launching them before the country fell.

Naoki Hanyu suddenly had a jolt. Even if he wasn't an expert in high-tech fields like satellites, he knew that top-tier artificial intelligence could enhance each other with satellites, and his Miss System was a military AI product from 5 years in the future.

Naoki Hanyu suppressed his excitement and continued opening the skill treasure chest.

[Ding! Opened an 8-star skill chest and obtained the S-rank skill Soul Devouring Hand (Right Hand)]

[Hand of Soul Devouring (S): The right hand transforms into an arm that destroys spirits. It consumes spirit energy to accelerate the devouring process. While devouring spirits, it also increases the maximum spirit energy. The higher the spirit energy level, the slower the increase. Spirit +30]

[Note: Consuming a soul may absorb the spirit's memories from its previous life, affecting your personality. Please use with caution.]

[Secondary Skill: Resentment Explosion: Devouring souls accumulates residual resentment in the arm, allowing for a sudden burst of all resentment into a powerful impact. Spirits encountering this will suffer minor injuries or even be completely destroyed. Living beings will be afflicted with illness or die.]

Chicken Ribs
Naoki Hanyu's first thought was that it was a waste of time. He rarely encountered anything dirty, and even if he did encounter Abe no Kijiro, he could handle it. Why would he need an even more powerful method?

Simply increasing his mental limit would be fine, but there's also the risk of his personality being affected.

As long as you diligently grind for sinful spirit, it will eventually increase; why take this risk?

As for the secondary skill, Resentment Explosion, it is useful, but not worth the value of an S-rank skill. If Hanyu Naoki had to choose a level, it would probably be between B and A.
Although he was a little emotional, Naoki Hanyu knew that there would always be times when he was lucky or unlucky when unpacking, so he decided to try his luck with satellite instead.

As Naoki Hanyu controlled his avatar on duty at the network base, he was able to connect to the satellite security terminal without an encryption key. In an instant, the screen displayed various data about the Star Shield satellites, as well as the positions of three satellites.

Naoki Hanyu became happier and happier as he looked at it; this thing brought him even more pleasure than a destroyer.

Although he didn't really understand how to operate it, he had spent two years cramming on similar knowledge, so he could still operate it to a certain extent.

"Let's call you Tianyan (reconnaissance satellite), Tianwang (communication satellite), and Tianhuo (weapon platform satellite). Together, we'll call you the Tianmen System."

As Naoki Hanyu learned more, a plan began to take shape in his mind.

"Perhaps that plan can be carried out, and the Tianmen system can complete all the conditions."

With Naoki Hanyu in control, SkyEye, as a reconnaissance satellite, will remain over Tokyo, while Skyfire will help establish connections in Hawaii, and SkyNet will reach over America.

When it takes the StarShield satellite about 100 minutes to orbit the Earth, its speed is already quite fast.

However, although these satellites are very good, each one has an operating range of only a few hundred to a thousand kilometers, so it is impossible to monitor the entire country. If there were dozens or hundreds of them, it would be hard to say.

Just then, the assistant presented the prepared file.

"Chief, the tracking plan initially involved 114 suspects. After a few hours, we eliminated some alibis, leaving only 21 people. Please take a look."

"21 people? That's really efficient."

In Naoki Hanyu's view, unless the case occurs in a remote place without technical support, there are not many cases in big cities that cannot be solved with modern technology; the only limitation is the lack of police resources.

If he were just an ordinary section chief, how could he have mobilized nearly a thousand elite police officers to identify 114 targets in just a few hours and quickly eliminate their suspicion?

Naoki Hanyu flipped through the files; he recognized some of the suspects, but not others.

Suddenly a familiar figure appeared before them—it was Arimura Danzaburo.

Speaking of which, he had a fairly deep impression of this neighbor. After all, they had been neighbors for four years, but he had never been able to become "friends" with him. Or rather, the other party did not want to be friends with a policeman. Most importantly, this guy was one of the few red-named people among the 21.

"Does Arimura Tuanzaburo really not have an alibi?"

“Our people investigated and they did see him on the surveillance cameras on Songfeng Street at 2 p.m., but he didn’t come out after he went home and the cameras didn’t capture him. He didn’t come out of the house again until evening. We originally wanted to rule him out as a suspect, but there was no evidence to prove that he was at home during that time. After all, the perpetrator’s counter-surveillance capabilities are very strong, so we can’t be careless.”

Naoki Hanyu thought for a moment and asked.

Was Takako Arimura home at the time?

“Takako Arimura, let me see. Takako Arimura and her daughter Rea Arimura were also at home. They were caught on CCTV when they went out to the supermarket to buy things at the time of the crime.”

"I understand."

Naoki Hanyu frowned and finally picked up the phone to dial a number that hadn't been used in a long time.

"toot toot"

At the Arimura family home, Takako Arimura was watching TV, chatting and laughing with her daughter in her arms, while Danzaburo Arimura, unusually, sat not far away with them. However, the occasional glances he gave his daughter made the mother and daughter feel a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly the phone rang. Takako Arimura glanced at the phone and froze for a moment. Fortunately, she quickly realized what was happening and didn't let her husband notice. She got up and went to the corridor to answer the call.

"Hey, is there something you need?"

"I have something to ask you."

Takako Arimura was even more puzzled. This number, marked with the name Naoki, hadn't been called in two years. What could possibly be the reason for the call?

"what's up?"

"Did you see Village Saburo at home around 3 PM?"

"Why do you ask?"

"At 3 pm this afternoon, I saw a man who looked a lot like Arimura Tanzaburo. He was hugging and being affectionate with a woman. I suspect he's cheating on me. If he's home, then I'll admit my mistake. If he's not home, you should be careful. That woman also has red hair."

"."

Although Takako Arimura remained silent, she seemed genuinely unconcerned about the news of her husband's infidelity. They had never done anything together since they got married, not even during her initial attempts to seduce him.
