Tokyo Detective

Chapter 510 A Heavy Blow is Required When Facing Thugs
"Police officers abused their power and violated the law."

"The police broke the law."

"Police abuse of power."

The area in front of Sakurada Gate was filled with shouts. Protests were not allowed to gather in this area, and the protesters had not applied to the city government, or if they had, their application had not been approved.

So these people forcibly rushed over and gathered. Because of the radical behavior of some elderly people, the police were unable to stop them. As a result, the Metropolitan Police Department building was completely surrounded by the crowd, and there were even people at the Metropolitan Police Department.

The protesters, all wearing masks, held multiple wooden signs with various insults against the police.

"Release the cult leader."

"Let go."

"Release them." X9999
The protesters even tried to storm the police station because they knew their revered cult leader and other high-ranking officials were imprisoned there. Fortunately, hundreds of police officers blocked the entrance, preventing them from getting in.

Protesting at the door and being broken into are two different things, and the police are on edge.

On the third floor of the police headquarters, two high-ranking police officers were watching the situation unfold: one was Vice Commissioner Tadashi Yanagiba, and the other was Director of the Transportation Bureau Kentaro Kobayashi.

"I can't believe it," said Liu Yezhongci, gloating.

"Look, Naoki Hanyu's reckless behavior has led to this situation. Let's see how he handles it."

"Yes, young people are too sharp and outspoken. Arresting thousands of believers in one night is indeed unprecedented, but it also leads to a very tight police force, and even the judicial system is operating beyond its capacity."

Liu Yezhong suddenly brought up a topic.

“If Naoki Hanyu doesn’t handle this well, how about we file a joint complaint against him with the Public Safety Commission, Chief Kobayashi?”

"."

Kentaro Kobayashi hesitated. Strictly speaking, he didn't care about flattering Tadatsugu Yanagiba, but he also didn't want to offend Naoki Hanyu.

However, now that he has already chosen sides, he can only nod in agreement with the superior who helped him up.

"Ok."

"Haha, I reckon there will be more and more people outside, you can see it in the news and online."

Today, most of the morning news programs on the six major television stations sided with the police. Even if they didn't fully support them, they still leaned towards rational discussions on the police's side. However, the online public opinion was different.

Yesterday's Special Emergency Operation, the first large-scale operation by the Special Emergency Bureau, did indeed surprise many people. Although the results were substantial, some people are more worried that the police's power has become too inflated. A religious group with 50 members can be wiped out so easily. Various religious groups even feel threatened and are using their power to protest against the government.

Arresting cult members is not wrong, but the approach is too radical and needs to be rectified.

Thus, with the help of certain individuals, the debate over the Sky Patrol Truth Society turned into an 80/20 split, with 80% supporting the police and 20% questioning them. It's hard to say how many of those 20% were paid trolls.

However, after the protests were broadcast live, voices questioning the police gradually grew louder.

Just as the two high-ranking police officers were gloating, they noticed that riot police vehicles were subtly surrounding the protesters on three sides, and there were even water cannons.

Squads of police officers, armed with riot batons and shields, jogged along both sides of the road, advancing slowly and in unison.

Liu Yezhongci was stunned, because he could see that there were more than 3000 police officers involved. It seemed that 3000 people were superfluous to suppress 10,000 "rioters".

Yanagiba Tadatsugu originally wanted to see the rioters storm into the police station; if they did, Hanyu Naoki would be in big trouble.

"As expected of the dragon of the Metropolitan Police Department, the Metropolitan Police Department could have easily kept quiet and stayed out of it, but they still sent a large number of troops over. It's really a case of officials protecting each other."

"."

"Brother, you're an official too." Kentaro Kobayashi gave a wry smile and remained silent.

The rioters downstairs, who were surrounded but one was missing, became nervous. Although most of them were a little scared, some of them charged into the police wall and deliberately fell down, so that their accomplices could film the incident and upload it online, claiming that the police had violently beaten them.

The minor disturbances at the contact point left the security department in charge of the operation somewhat helpless. The person in charge of the operation was Yoshida Taira, the head of the First Security Section. Even the Second Security Section and the Mobile Security Unit were mobilized. The security department had mobilized all the personnel it could, and the rest were from the regional departments.

Seeing the crowd's aggressive nature, Yoshida Taira couldn't help but smile wryly. However, given the order from above, even if the atmosphere was tense, he had to go. So he grabbed a megaphone and shouted.

"Gentlemen, it is not permissible to hold mass protests in the national administrative center area, and your protest is illegal as you have not reported it to the municipal government. Please leave immediately."

Yoshida Dai shouted a few times, which immediately drew rebuttals from the members of the Truth Society.

"We're not leaving because you police officers abused your power and broke the law first."

"Release the cult leader immediately, hurry up!"

"Release them! Release them! Release them! Release them!" X9999
The intense noise silenced Yoshida, a man who was dealing with protesters who refused to disperse.

Yoshida Daiki decided to use the simplest and most practical tactic: to wear down the opponent and not make a move unless the opponent did something foolish.

Yoshida Daikai looked up at the sky and couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

"Fortunately, the weather is nice. Let's see how long they can stand there."

One hour, two hours.

No matter how the protesters shouted, the police ignored them. Their low-intensity shoving only pushed them back, leaving the rioters looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering whether to stay or disperse.

As one of the high-ranking members who organized the protest, Masato Yamaguchi was the most promising high-ranking member to become the leader of the Seven Stars Sect. He also had another name, Kim Tae-hyun, who was of mixed Korean and Japanese descent. He lived in South Korea until he was 18, and that was when he joined the sect.

Kim Tae-hyun never expected that after just one night's sleep, not only the Seven Star Dao Master but also the Three Cauldrons and even the cult leader would be arrested, but it was only with the help of the people there that he was able to hurriedly gather his followers to protest.

"Damn, the Japanese police are such cowards. Can't they just take a stronger stance?"

Standing still and waiting is not a solution; it's better to create some conflict and let society put pressure on us.

As the rioters grew restless, they gradually sat down, turning their radical protest into a sit-in, giving the police a break until around noon when things took a turn for the worse.

Some rioters were seen commenting on the youth association's remarks while playing on their phones.

"It is right for cults, as a malignant tumor that endangers the country, to be eradicated. The remaining cult members, instead of hiding in their burrows, have jumped out to disrupt social order. If the police are incompetent and cannot handle the situation, our Youth Association will ensure that the cult members get the results they deserve."

Every word spoken by the spokesperson, Wu, shook the protesters. After all, the police wouldn't kill you, or even hurt you, but those crazy terrorists from the YMCA wouldn't hold back when they started.

Just as the protesters were feeling uneasy, another video appeared online, showing members of the Revitalization Association joining in the fun by posting the video overseas, which was then shared by Japanese people.

"Those who fight for freedom and democracy should not be afraid of those damned terrorists. You must stick to your ideas. If anyone dares to submit to those lunatics of the YMCA, the Revitalization Society will send someone to visit you."

Kim Tae-hyun was dumbfounded. This works?

They are just ordinary people of faith. What makes them so deserving of being targeted by two groups of lunatics? The last group to receive this treatment was Japanese lawmakers.

How to do?
Just then, a trusted follower tugged at Kim Tae-hyun, gesturing for him to look in the direction of Missing One. There, he saw that some followers were starting to leave, clearly indicating that the threat of death had surpassed their faith.

This made Kim Tae-hyun so anxious that he stood up. If he didn't do something soon, everything would be ruined.

“Dear servants of the Lord, it seems that the police are still stubbornly refusing to give us justice. Under the Lord’s glory, we must save our own Son.”

Those who had been arranged beforehand immediately stepped forward to agree, unaware that their actions were being watched by someone.

In this way, the news spread like wildfire, and the rioters were mobilized to attack the police line again, with countless hands pushing and shoving against the riot shields.

Meanwhile, Naoki Hanyu was also watching the developments below from his office on the 8th floor when his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hey, who are you?"

"Hello, Director Hanyu. I am Hideaki Inoue, a member of the House of Representatives. I am contacting you to discuss the matter of the Pravda Society."

"Oh, how should we talk about it?"

"I can act as a mediator to coordinate everyone."

"roll."

After hanging up the phone, Naoki Hanyu had no time to deal with these things. He knew that Hideaki Inoue owed a great deal of credit for his rise to power to the Mari Association's help in campaigning for him, yet they still dared to come out and negotiate with him.

"hehe."

Several important figures from both the political and business worlds have contacted him today. The reason is that the Prime Minister has decided not to interfere in Naoki Hanyu's case, so he is no longer paying attention to these people and can only turn to them for help.

Naoki Hanyu took the documents his assistant had prepared; they were from people who had just called.

"Good, the treacherous minister has come forward himself, it's time for me to take action."

Naoki Hanyu's expression suddenly changed slightly. Before his bewildered assistant could react, he crashed through the glass and jumped from the 8th floor. His assistant, pale with fright, cried out, "Chief!"

Downstairs in the police station building, several tear gas canisters were suddenly thrown into the police formation. The pungent smell caused the police to become lax, creating gaps that the protesters broke through and rushed towards the police station. This scene frightened Yoshida Taira, the head of the First Security Division, so much that his face changed drastically.

"Stop them quickly!"

The next second a loud bang came, the shattered ground abruptly interrupting the charging thugs, and a figure descended from the sky, blocking the police station entrance.

"Naoki Hanyu?"

"Damn it, why is he here too?"

A high-ranking member of the rioters who was organizing the charge shouted this.

"Don't be afraid of him, one person can't stop us."

Before the thug could finish speaking, a roar came from Naoki Hanyu's mouth, so loud that many people squatted down and covered their ears.

Before they could even stand up, a gust of extremely cold wind blew them away, chilling them to the bone, as if they were naked in a frozen wasteland.

In April, when the temperature was around 18 degrees Celsius, a sudden gust of wind at -12 degrees Celsius blew by, and some people even caught a cold on the spot. They were then subdued by the police who reacted quickly.

Kim Tae-hyun is now considering backing down. A direct confrontation won't work; look, the police have started arresting people.

What he didn't know was that the missing exit had also changed.

One by one, men in black wearing masks appeared, one, two, three, and soon a large group of people gathered together, holding plastic soft sticks, like a gangster gathering to attack people. There were at least 100 people.

Some police officers and rioters mistook these people for reinforcements, until the men in black hit the rioters with their sticks.

"what"

A scream rang out as a thug who was trying to pass by the man in black was knocked down and then struck in the thigh. He immediately clutched his thigh and let out an even more miserable cry.

The rioters were a bit confused. Why were they attacking their own people? It wasn't until many rioters were hit by soft sticks and screamed in pain that the people around them realized that these people were not with the rioters.

The leader of the men in black waved his hand.

"We must strike hard against thugs, let's go!"

At a command, nearly 100 men in black charged into the crowd like invincible generals, each swing bringing at least one thug to the ground. Moreover, their accuracy was extremely high; they would never hit vital areas such as the head or throat, but rather focus on the buttocks, thighs, arms, and back.

A man in black wielded a staff like a swordsman.

"Dimensional Slash".

The next second, an extremely fast "slash" caused the surrounding thugs to scream in agony. Even a soft plastic baton hurts when it hits someone, let alone more than 10 blows per second.

Even more shockingly, a man in black grabbed a rioter by the collar with one hand and threw him out, knocking down a large number of people.

The overwhelming and devastating situation left a high-ranking member of the rioters glaring in fury.

"Stop these lunatics quickly!"

More than ten people rushed toward a brazen man in black, and the next second a deep voice came from the air.

"Blade Storm"

The man in black leaped, grabbed the legs of a high-ranking thug, and spun him around so fast that anyone who tried to get close was sent flying. It was truly like an unstoppable tornado, and the thugs who served as the blades were foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

The wave of "killing" gradually engulfed the protesters. The sticks moved like the wind, and the rioters were blown down like weeds. 100 people fell, 500 people fell, 1000 people fell, 2000 people fell. At this point, the rioters collapsed.

"Run!"

"If we don't escape, these lunatics will beat us to death."

"Kill someone, kill someone."

The rioters scattered and fled, some even rushing towards the police, leaving the riot police unsure of how to respond. After all, their superiors had not yet given orders, and the scene was so chaotic that they could not discern the situation.

Even Yoshida Taira, the head of the First Security Division, was a little flustered by the situation. He had never encountered anything like this before. It wasn't like the South Korean government and gangsters in the 1960s and 70s, when they jointly suppressed protesting university students.

So he went to Naoki Hanyu.

"Director Yuzuru, what should we do now?"

At this moment, Naoki Hanyu was holding Kim Tae-hyun, the leader of the thugs.

"What else can we do but arrest them?"

"what?"

Naoki Hanyu pointed to the chaotic scene.

"Did they start fighting?"

"Yes."

"Both sides made moves, didn't they?"

"Yes, both sides used force."

"Then arrest them all, whether they are protest rioters or black-clad rioters. Or you can wait until they finish fighting before you take action. However, with reporters filming on the scene, it will be difficult to explain to the public. I will guard the door and you can take action boldly."

"I understand."

The police moved, which terrified the already crumbling protest formation, causing them to panic and flee in all directions. The police also caught up with those they encountered.

Police officers in riot gear approached the men in black. What was expected to be a fierce battle turned into a disaster when the fully armed police were instantly defeated.

A single punch sent a shield-wielding policeman flying back several meters, and some officers even had their riot shields or batons snatched away. Only a few officers managed to hold their own against the men in black.

In less than two minutes, three hundred police officers fell down. Although they were not seriously injured, the incident was extremely humiliating.

A policeman was pinned to the ground and spanked by men in black. When he stood up again, he was in tears.

“Shame, shame, you monsters, monsters.”

The melee lasted only a few minutes before police reinforcements arrived. The men in black seemed to have received a unified order to stop fighting and left with the rioters who were fleeing in all directions.

Anyone who dared to stop them was swept aside with a wave of their hand, and they were still no match for them.

Soon the scene was a mess, with more than 3000 rioters still trapped and unable to leave.

Yoshida Daiki hurriedly pressed his subordinates for answers.

"Have the men in black who made the move been caught?"

"I'm sorry, Section Chief, those people are very powerful and we can't stop them with riot weapons. But we are pursuing them and we believe we will catch some of them eventually."

"."

Naoki Hanyu, who was not far away, almost laughed when he heard this. "There's no way he can catch him."

After all, those hundreds of men in black were his clones. With his 50 physique and martial arts level, he could even briefly contend with masters and monsters. How could an ordinary policeman stop hundreds of such quasi-monsters? Not to mention that clones would turn back into hair once they found a good position.

As Naoki Hanyu returned to the police station, many ambulances came downstairs to take the injured to the hospital, and the so-called wave of protests subsided quietly.

The police department issued a statement in less than an hour.

"The thugs who attacked the protesters are linked to the YMCA."

The YMCA also countered that it would take less than an hour.

"It has nothing to do with the YMCA; it was done by the Revitalization Association."

The revitalization association also refuted this.

"It has nothing to do with my association; it was done by the Japanese police."

"It has nothing to do with the National Police Agency. Suspects include the Youth Association, the Promotion Association, and the Tokyo Yakuza. We are investigating. Please give the National Police Agency time. We will definitely give everyone an explanation."

That evening, the Metropolitan Police Department launched a crackdown on organized crime, citing the connection between the yakuza and the disturbances. Investigations revealed that some yakuza members had vested interests with the authorities, leading to speculation of a conflict of interest.
