Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 242 The Real Black Hand (I)

Rio de Janeiro is the city of God. It is not easy for Kotaro Taniguchi to find a hidden place where no one knows about it. At least he can't find a safe house where no one will disturb him within two hours.

Kotaro Taniguchi also didn't want to disturb his allies in Brazil for such a trivial matter. He felt that the latter would look down on the Tokyo branch because of such a thing.

How can this be done?
Kotaro Taniguchi chose to solve the problem himself and drove to the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro.

……

The overgrown bushes with no footprints were obviously places that no one cared about on weekdays.
Eddie had been tied to a tree, struggling in panic and calling out loudly, trying to attract other people's attention so that he could be rescued.

"Ah... What are you doing? Why are you arresting me... Help! The Japanese are robbing me! Help!"

Kotaro Taniguchi waved his hand, signaling Kimura to go and keep watch, while he took out his pistol and shot Eddie in the thigh cleanly.

When the gunshot rang out, Eddie looked at his bleeding thigh and was stunned at first. On the one hand, the bullet passed through the flesh very quickly and his nerves had not yet reacted, so he did not feel any pain. On the other hand, Eddie did not expect Kotaro Taniguchi to shoot so decisively.

Also, where did this Japanese guy get his weapon? Didn't he just land from a plane today? Am I still asleep?

After a while, Eddie felt a sharp pain in his thigh and realized that he was really shot.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

Eddie screamed and cried.

"Ah, why did you shoot? I can return your money to you, don't shoot, don't kill me..."

"Tell me, who do you belong to?"

Kotaro Taniguchi ignored Eddie's performance and raised his pistol slightly, pointing it at the latter's other leg.

"three two……"

"I don't belong to anyone. I'm just a guide. Please let me go..."

This Brazilian guy's crying is so loud. Even at this point, he is still hoping for a lucky break.

Kotaro Taniguchi fired the second shot without hesitation. The bullet went through the flesh and brought out a large amount of blood. The explosion that sounded again finally shattered Eddie's fluke mentality.

"Ahh... don't shoot, I'm from the Red Command..."

"boom!"

Kotaro Taniguchi fired the third shot, and the bullet hit the Brazilian's shoulder. Blood quickly stained his T-shirt red. The latter lowered his head while shouting and fainted.

Kotaro Taniguchi narrowed his eyes, looked at the Brazilian seriously for a while, and then silently revealed a hideous smile.

What a determined person! This Eddie is definitely not an ordinary person, and he is even less likely to be a member of the Red Command.

First of all, the Brazilian was not unconscious. He just took the opportunity of being hit by the third bullet to pretend to faint from the pain, trying to deceive himself and delay the interrogation time.

If I guessed correctly, the force Eddie belonged to had already discovered that something was wrong and the people who were going to rescue him were nearby.

Kotaro Taniguchi winked at Kimura beside him, then turned around and took him away.

Eddie was left there, and although he was shot three times, Kotaro Taniguchi believed that he could hold on until reinforcements arrived.

If you can't hold on, then you die, there's nothing to regret.

Kotaro Taniguchi did not go far. Eddie's car was parked on the road outside the woods. Sato was next to the car, watching his boss come out. He raised his hand to show the former that he had found a tracker and a bug in the car.

"There shouldn't be any other extra stuff. These two things, one is in the trunk, and the other is under the main driver's seat. The location is not very hidden, and it doesn't look like the work of a professional."

"The things are lost. Someone should be here soon. Sato, drive the car far away and hide. Come back when I call."

Kotaro Taniguchi asked Sato to drive the car away and hide.

He took Kimura to find a small hill nearby and hid behind a bush. Then he took out his mobile phone, turned on the long-range night vision camera function, used it as a temporary telescope, and began to observe the movements nearby.

Just as Kotaro Taniguchi had expected, shortly after Kimura drove away, two dilapidated cars drove over from the direction of Rio de Janeiro with great momentum, and then braked suddenly and stopped on the road where Kimura abandoned the tracker.

Seven black and white men wearing white T-shirts or simply with their upper bodies naked rushed out of the car, holding assault rifles, submachine guns and other hot weapons in their hands. After searching on the side of the road for a while, the seven men found the abandoned tracker.

They broke out into a heated argument on the spot, and soon the three of them stayed.

They held their weapons and hurriedly ran into the woods, following the tire tracks left by Kotaro Taniguchi when he entered the grove.

The other four got into a car and sped forward, trying to find the culprit who had escaped.

Kotaro Taniguchi did not call to alert Kimura, as he believed that the latter would handle such matters.

Not long after, the three people who had entered the woods ran out shouting and carrying the bloody Eddie. The four of them got in the car, turned around on the spot, and ran towards Rio de Janeiro, apparently intending to take the injured Eddie back to the headquarters for first aid.

Kotaro Taniguchi took pictures of the license plate numbers and appearance of the two cars with his mobile phone, and then took out his satellite phone.

"Kimura, come back."

"Hi Yi."

Kotaro Taniguchi had no intention of following these enemies with unclear intentions. Although he had the conditions, he did not forget that the car he was driving now was the one he got from Eddie.

It is too dangerous to follow in a car like this.

Therefore, Kotaro Taniguchi simply asked Kimura to drive the three of them back to the wealthy area of ​​Rio de Janeiro, and then abandoned the car on the side of the road without taking out the car keys, leaving it for the next person with a destiny.

Kotaro Taniguchi and his two younger brothers randomly found a 24-hour restaurant, went in and asked the waiter for a private room, and after ordering some dishes, the first thing the former did was to take out his cell phone and call a middleman in the underworld.

When Kotaro Taniguchi hired a guide, in order to ensure reliability and avoid unnecessary trouble, he used his connections in the underworld to find a gray middleman in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and hired the guide through him.

The middleman charges a high commission, but the money also includes a guarantee fee to ensure that the guide found through him is safe and reliable.

However, now that this incident has happened, proving that the guide has a second identity, the middleman must take responsibility. If he does not take responsibility, Taniguchi Kotaro will not only let this matter out and destroy the middleman's reputation, he will also use the power of the poker organization to hunt down this bastard and let the latter know that he is not someone to be trifled with.

"Did you know that the guide you recommended to me has a second identity? I recorded two license plate numbers, and the numbers are... I need you to investigate.

You can check the guide you recommended to me and you will know whether I am lying. I only give you two days now. I need to know Eddie’s true identity and the forces behind him?
Oh, if you don't give me an explanation, I will use my own methods to seek justice."

After saying that, Kotaro Taniguchi hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to reply.

Just at this moment, the door of the box was pushed open and the waiter outside came in with the dishes.

Now that things have come to this, let’s eat first.

After eating and drinking, Kotaro Taniguchi looked for temporary accommodation.

It's easy to find a place to stay for the night. There are too many black hotels and family guesthouses in Rio de Janeiro that do not require ID registration.

After a night's rest, the next day, as soon as Torataro Taniguchi woke up, the middleman from last night called him.

“That Eddie is indeed problematic. I found out that he has been admitted to a private hospital in Rio de Janeiro and the person who paid for him is a member of the Blue Towel Guerrilla.

I have already returned the referral fee to you, and this matter ends here."

"That's it."

After hanging up the phone, Kotaro Taniguchi laughed, and the truth of the matter became clear.

Kotaro Taniguchi was not sure what was going on with this middleman, and he had no intention of taking revenge on him now, at least not before leaving Rio de Janeiro.

The guide named Eddie was obviously a member of the Blue Towel Guerrillas. He disguised himself as a guide and waited for Japanese tourists to come to him. Then, after waiting for the right opportunity, he would bring the prey into the trap.

Eddie's identity is problematic, so what he said about the Blue Towel Guerrillas only killing more than 20 Japanese is a lie. Only 20 were discovered, and he definitely did not say how many were not discovered and how many died.

Now Torataro Taniguchi only has two problems left, or maybe only one.

How is he going to take revenge on that bastard and the Blue Towel Guerrillas behind him, and in the process, rescue Bangju Taiga who was captured and might still be alive... They have been bullied to such an extent, how can he not take revenge?

When Kotaro Taniguchi called his boss to report what he had encountered, Masato Fujiwara's first reaction was to fuck those Blue Towel Guerrillas.

Although this thing can barely be considered an anti-Japanese organization, when they provoked the poker card head, Fujiwara Masato didn't care what it was.

If the intelligence is correct, catching Eddie is not a difficult task. Just be careful that the hospital is not a trap. The question now is where is this blue towel guerrilla hiding?
Well, this is a problem for Kotaro Taniguchi, but for Masato Fujiwara who has a system map, the hiding places of the organization members are too clear.

The Blue Towel Guerrillas made many mistakes, but their biggest mistake was that they should not have been hostile towards Kotaro Taniguchi, which doomed them to destruction.

"Boss, I..."

"Don't worry about this. You are unfamiliar with the place and you won't be able to find any reliable help. I will notify the Brazilian Poker people and ask them to send someone over."

After hanging up the phone, Kotaro Taniguchi looked at the satellite phone in his hand and felt moved.

Although the organization he worked for was neither black nor white and was not a good thing, and although his immediate superior did not trust him enough, when things really got into trouble, the organization and his immediate superior would really step up and would not find any excuses to refuse.

Kotaro Taniguchi asked himself, if his subordinates encountered trouble in a foreign country, were beaten, and called him for help, wanting justice.

Even if the latter is on a business trip, the only thing I would do is to pay for his medical expenses and let him see a doctor. There is nothing more to do.

Therefore, the poker organization is really a good organization. It is internally united, and when subordinates encounter problems, they will take action without hesitation.

Just when Kotaro Taniguchi was extremely moved and his loyalty value, which had been stagnant for a long time, rose by one point, the phone rang again.

"Report your position."

After explaining clearly where he lived, Kotaro Taniguchi was visibly relieved.

Well, someone has taken over the matter, and it's not that dangerous...

When this thought appeared in Taniguchi Kotaro's mind, he felt relieved and sat obediently in the room waiting.

However, the God that the Brazilians believe in obviously does not like Kotaro Taniguchi. Before the Brazilian poker players arrived, several consecutive gunshots and the panicked shouts of several men were heard outside the room on the second floor of the black hotel where he lived.

Amidst the noise, Kimura's iconic, flat voice rang out outside the door.

"Boss, we should go. There are enemies. Lots of enemies."

Kotaro Taniguchi drew his weapon and ran out. In the corridor outside the room, he saw Sato and Kimura hiding in the opposite room, firing continuously with submachine guns at the other side of the corridor to suppress the fire.

Loud Portuguese cursing was on the other side, the sound was irritating, and a man lying in the corridor was the main reason.

The attacking Blue Towel Guerrillas were obviously at a disadvantage. Although they were also firing, they were firing randomly without showing their heads and extending their guns. They were at a disadvantage under the precise shooting of Sato and Kimura.

Sato waved at Taniguchi Kotaro and whispered.

"Boss, come this way, there's no one under the window of my room."

Kotaro Taniguchi did not move. After looking at the time, he took out a grenade, pulled out the ring and threw it out.

"Why leave? Our people are coming soon."

After saying that, after the grenade exploded, Taniguchi Kotaro, with a flushed face, raised the Scorpion submachine gun and rushed to the other end of the corridor like a wild boar.

The Blue Towel Guerrillas on the other side were caught off guard. They did not expect the enemy to have explosives, nor did they expect Kotaro Taniguchi to be so brave that he dared to launch a counterattack.

One of the three gunmen blocking the end of the corridor was killed by the explosion, and the remaining two were lying on the ground and had no chance to stand up before they were shot to death with a submachine gun by Kotaro Taniguchi who suddenly rushed over.

Things turned out just as Kotaro Taniguchi had expected. After he was attacked, a commando team was immediately deployed nearby and arrived within three minutes. None of the seven Blue Towel Guerrillas who surrounded the hotel escaped.
