Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 245: There is such a thing?

Kotaro Taniguchi sat in front of the hotel, looking up at the busy driveway in front of him, and fell into a rare state of confusion.

He was a little confused about what he was facing.

A gunfight had just broken out in the nameless hotel in the slum where Kotaro Taniguchi was staying. Seven members of the Blue Towel Guerrillas were killed inside the hotel by Kotaro Taniguchi and a team of reinforcements from the Brazilian branch who arrived quickly.

The battle was fierce, with gunshots as dense as firecrackers. They lasted for two minutes in the hotel and could be heard not only in the houses around the hotel but also in the surrounding areas.

Kotaro Taniguchi believed that the police station across the four-lane road directly opposite the hotel and the two policemen at the door also heard it, but they just didn't come over. Clearly, several police cars sped out not long ago, but none of them came over.

Originally, Torataro Taniguchi chose this hotel because although it was located in a slum, there was a regional police station across the street, with at least 20 to 30 Rio police officers inside.

Kotaro Taniguchi felt that his safety should be guaranteed living here, and the guerrillas would not dare to start a war here.

As a result, everything went wrong, and everything developed differently from what Kotaro Taniguchi had expected.

First, the Blue Towel Guerrillas ignored the presence of the police station not far away and started fighting.

Secondly, the police here are too... hard to describe. The battle here is over, but no one comes. Even Kotaro Taniguchi, who originally wanted to evacuate quickly, is now a little curious about when these police will come.

Of course, Taniguchi Kotaro is more aware of the mission and cares more about it than satisfying his curiosity.

Soon, after cleaning up the guns, bullet casings, and fingerprints at the scene, he finally took his two younger brothers, Sato and Kimura, and leisurely got into the car sent by the Brazilian branch and drove out of Rio de Janeiro.

The rescued hostage, Bangjiu Dahe, was waiting for him in a small forest outside the suburbs.

What Torataro Taniguchi didn't know was that after he left the hotel, several people in the police station across the street breathed a sigh of relief, and the Rio police, who had been hesitant, pounced on him like a tiger.

These Rio police officers were captured on camera and behaved very bravely. They rushed into the hotel with guns fired. After a short while, they carried out seven bodies and announced to the public that this was the result of police enforcement.

In fact, the police here knew exactly what was happening in the hotel across the street, and even the Blue Towel Guerrillas had informed them before taking action.

Therefore, the Rio police are well aware that a gunfight will break out in the hotel, but they just don't want to intervene.

After the Blue Towel Guerrillas were killed, the Rio police across the street were even less willing to take action.

The new guys are obviously more ferocious than the ones in blue towels. Judging from the gunshots, these guys are holding military automatic weapons and no shortage of throwing explosives.

The people in the blue towels are definitely dead. Judging from the weapons and equipment in this police station, these twenty or thirty salary thieves will definitely be doomed if they go there. So why should they go there?
Not to mention things like police responsibility, most police officers in Rio are still owed a considerable amount of salary. No one here is willing to die, because once they die, the owed salary will really be gone.

Unless Kotaro Taniguchi wants to take his men to attack the police station, or rush into the wealthy area to kill people, the Rio police will not pay any attention to them.

……

Rio de Janeiro, and even the whole of Brazil, is a very strange country for a certain Eastern giant. The law enforcers here are not incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong, but they are unclear about right and wrong.

The police here...are really not good people.

So, when the Poker Organization wiped out the Blue Towel Guerrillas in the slums and also used mortars to bombard gang members who tried to prevent the task force from leaving, the Rio police just watched outside and did nothing.

It's like the favelas are not part of Rio de Janeiro, or even the territory of Brazil. Well, the local government of Rio de Janeiro may not think that the favelas and the people in them are part of Rio de Janeiro, and even the local bosses may not think that the poor in the favelas are human beings.

For this world, peace and tranquility are miracles, while chaos and hunger are the norm. The number of countries on this earth that can achieve stability can be counted on one hand.

Therefore, apart from the deaths, not many people really care about what the poker organization did in the slums.

……

In fact, Bangjiu Taiga cared a lot about who saved him. Looking at the dark, short and fat man in front of him, he was a little hesitant.

"You sent someone to rescue me?"

"Who else?"

Kotaro Taniguchi observed the expression of the rescued person and found that the latter seemed to know him. Although they had never met, Kunihisa Taiga must have known his name and appearance.

"you know me."

"Yes, Mr. Taniguchi Kotaro, I know you."

His suit was wrinkled, obviously he had suffered a lot of beatings. Bangu Taiga, who had not eaten much in the past two days, quickly took the water and bread handed to him by Sato. While he couldn't wait to stuff the food into his mouth, he did not forget to answer the questions.

"Oh." Kotaro Taniguchi sighed meaningfully. Since Kunihisa Taiga knew him, he must also know the relationship between playing cards and the Uehara family. That means the latter's identity in the Uehara family is not as simple as a collaborator.

Kunihisa Taiga should be a peripheral member of the Uehara family, or a member of a family with a different surname.

Then the importance of this guy to Uehara Kazuto is not that simple.

"My boss asked me to come to Brazil to look for you. I happened to see you being kidnapped, and then I mobilized the organization's resources here to rescue you... Now, for the sake of saving your life, can you tell me what your status is in the Uehara family?"

"Have the bosses of your organization formed an alliance with Lord Uehara Kazuto?"

Bangju Taiga asked the question in return.

"No, my boss has formed an alliance with Miss Uehara Rue."

"Ah, then why did you save me?"

Kunihisa Taiga was stunned. He was very confused and asked Taniguchi Kotaro quickly.

"Why do you ask that?"

"The Blue Towel Guerrillas found me because I support Lord Uehara Kazuto. Miss Uehara Rue sold them my location and information. She wanted me to die in Brazil and never return to Japan."

"Ah, there is such a thing?"

Kotaro Taniguchi was also confused... So, my efforts actually ruined things?
