Tokyo Detective

Chapter 79 Preparing for a Promotion
A public relations tactic?
Wait until the storm is over before coming out to defend yourself. Otherwise, under the spotlight of public opinion, social networks are like a magnifying glass, and any small matter will be magnified infinitely.

"I understand."

When Naoki Hanyu left the office, the members of Group 5 were already waiting outside. When they heard that their team leader had been kicked out, they thought they were being treated unfairly.

Naoki Hanyu said loudly.

"Everyone, I have to prepare for the promotion exam and have no time to lead. The investigation of Kusaka Computer Mall and Jianghe Club is still the responsibility of Group 5. As for the position of team leader, I will recommend Sato."

Miwako Sato pointed at herself and was surprised. How could she, a junior inspector, be the team leader? You have to know that the team leaders of teams 1 to 4 are either superintendents or senior inspectors, and Naoki Hanyu earned his position by himself, whether it was finding clues or killing several vicious criminals.

"I can't do that, and the section chief won't agree to that either."

"Don't worry, I'll tell the section chief. How can you kick me out without giving me some supplements? We are friends, so we must help each other."

Hearing the word "friend", the heroic policewoman was no longer shy. She was indeed conquered by Hanyu Naoki's abilities during this period and admitted that he was an excellent police officer and a good friend.

Naoki Hanyu's decision was also forced. He worked hard and didn't want to let other outsiders take advantage of him. If Akimoto Seiko's police rank was not low and she also had to prepare for the promotion exam, he would definitely let Akimoto Seiko take the position.

"Okay, everyone, go and do what you need to do."

Witnessed by the team members, Naoki Hanyu once again broke into Shiratori Tenei's temporary office, and soon a quarrel was heard inside.

"The task force is not a place for you to form cliques, and the position of team leader is not a position you can decide at will."

Naoki Hanyu is not afraid of his stern-faced boss.

"Sato is capable enough to take on the role, and has built a rapport with the team members in a week. Why can't she do that? Are you one of those male chauvinists who thinks female police officers are incapable of doing that?"

"You're talking nonsense. I'm definitely not sexist. It's just that the position of Team 5 leader is a very important one. You know that."

Yes, Group 5 has become the main force of the task force, and the progress of the other four groups is far behind that of Group 5, but Naoki Hanyu doesn't care about that.

"I just want Sato to do it. Otherwise, I won't quit and will continue to stay in the task force. Anyway, we can directly apply for a search warrant now that we have evidence. We will raid the Jianghe Club's lair tonight and see if those gangsters dare to fight me."

Shiratori Tenei was furious when he heard this. If it was five years ago when the shooting restrictions were still 5, Hanyu Naoki would have violated the law in many cases. But now is different. Not only has the anti-riot law been weakened, but even the restrictions on police shootings have been reduced from 16 to 16, which has led to dozens of police shootings in a year.

"What the hell are you talking about? You are a policeman, not a gangster."

"You kicked me out after I failed, so why can't I say anything?"

“You’re doing it for a promotion.”

"I'm the team leader. I have an obligation to take the overall situation into consideration. A mere promotion is no big deal."

The quarrel lasted for 10 minutes and finally ended when Shiratori Tianrong gave in.

"Alright, I'll let Sato be the team leader, get out of here, and these few days of vacation will be counted as your annual leave, get out of here."

When the nosy task force members outside heard the door open, they all immediately returned to their work positions.

Many people realized for the first time how powerful the leader of Group 5 was. He actually argued with his boss in the office. Wasn't he afraid of being retaliated against afterwards?

Of course Naoki Hanyu was not afraid. Capable subordinates often have privileges, but he had to save face for the other party in front of others, so he found Sato Miwako with a frustrated look.

"Sato, I wasted a few days of my annual leave because of you. You have to compensate me."

Miwako Sato couldn't think of how to answer for a moment and could only say polite words.

"I'll treat you to a meal?"

Naoki Hanyu's expression instantly changed and he smiled.

"It's settled. Let's go to Kanda Restaurant for dinner someday. I've long wanted to try the signature dishes of this French restaurant."

"."

Miwako Sato's smile froze. Isn't Fukada Restaurant just a Michelin three-star hotel in Minato? The reason she knew about it was that its prices were so expensive that it made the news.

Can I not take up this team leader position now?
In the evening, Hanyu Naoki drove back to his house. He hadn't been home for a week. He wondered what had happened to the thing in the house. Every night when he went to bed, the ghost would move closer and now it had walked to the middle of the room.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in the field of vision, their red hair shining like flames in the sunset. They were none other than the old neighbor Arimura Takako and her stepdaughter Arimura Reiya.

With the car window rolled down, Naoki Hanyu took the initiative to say hello.

"Takako, Reiya, long time no see."

Arimura Reiya greeted him nicely.

"Hello, Uncle Hanyu."

"So nice."

Arimura Takako looked around and saw that there was no one else around before she spoke.

"Mr. Hanyu, are you back from your business trip?"

The words "Mr. Hanyu" made Naoki Hanyu feel a little unhappy. He knew the other party's strength and the other party also knew his own size. Was it necessary to be so distant?

"Yes, I left Tokyo not long ago to handle a case."

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Arimura Takako suddenly remembered a video she had seen not long ago. She knew she shouldn't ask, but she opened her mouth anyway.

“I’ve watched some self-media videos about you. Are the descriptions in them true?”

Naoki Hanyu showed a sunny smile, but the content was not so sunny.

"Yes, it is true, but the people I killed were all extremely vicious villains."

At this moment, Arimura Reiya said.

“I also think bad people should be punished.”

"Reiya-chan has a strong sense of justice."

Naoki Hanyu touched the child's head, but was quickly stopped by Takako Arimura, who took her stepdaughter and said goodbye.

"Mr. Hanyu, my husband is waiting for us to go back for dinner, so I'll take my leave now."

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Hanyu Naoki felt really unhappy inside, so he stopped pretending and asked calmly.

"Mr. Arimura went abroad for business. I didn't hear when he would return."

Even though Naoki Hanyu doesn't have a good relationship with his neighbors, he has greeted some unusual neighbors in the past month.

Vagrants, some gang members outside the mafia, and even street vendors may be his spies. He will also take time to pay attention to any movement in Songfeng Street. Of course, this will cost a lot of money.

He is like a spider, slowly weaving a web nearby, waiting for any prey that touches his web. In time, this place will become his residence, his nest.

Arimura Takako's beautiful eyes widened. She couldn't expect that the other party actually knew about this. Didn't he just return to Tokyo?

"How did you know."

Naoki Hanyu answered the question irrelevantly.

"Didn't Miss Amamiya tell you what kind of person I am?"

"you"

Yomura Takako felt her heart beating wildly, it was a feeling of nervousness.

Originally, she only regarded the other party as a one-night stand partner, but now she realized that she was too naive and what she found was a man-eating monster.
