Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 259 There is a little trouble

The sunshine on the sea in the early morning was very bright. Masato Fujiwara, who had just eaten a rice roll for breakfast, was lying on the balcony lounge chair at the stern, enjoying the caress of the sunshine while picking up the satellite phone.

"Hey, Huangmao, are you done yet?"

"Mission successful, boss. I'm in the hospital morgue right now and I've confirmed that the body inside is Kazuto Uehara."

"good, very good."

Fujiwara Masato was in a very happy mood. He had long disliked his cheap uncle. Although the latter had never shown any hostility towards him, Fujiwara Masato had a hunch that this guy must be very unhappy with him.

Although there is no evidence that Fujiwara Masato and his adopted sister were attacked on their first way to the manor, he feels that this incident must have something to do with Uehara Kazuto.

Maybe if it wasn't for my cheap uncle who was in charge, he would definitely have sold the information to the enemy. Otherwise, how could those ambushers have been able to carry out the ambush so accurately.

Taking all these circumstances into consideration, if it weren't for the friendship of old man Shintaro Uehara, Fujiwara Masato would have taken action against Uehara Kazuto long ago.

Previously, Uehara Kazuto tried to hire mercenaries to attack the Red J Hotel, but the attack failed because of Zhonghe Zhen's interference. Fujiwara Masato endured it and gave him a chance.

Uncle Cheap hired an assassin to assassinate Uehara Rui, because theoretically this matter was not aimed at the poker organization, but there was a customer living in the Red J Hotel whom the former wanted to kill, so Fujiwara Masato ignored him.

When Uehara Kazuto had evil intentions towards the Red J Hotel for the second time and actually put his idea into action by finding a mercenary group with a platoon of infantry from Europe, Fujiwara Masato decided to kill him.

Even if you are my uncle, it won't work. I call you uncle to give face to the old man, not because you are shameless. But if you don't appreciate the face I give you, then go to hell.

Uehara Rui hid in the Red Heart J Hotel, which was a safe zone for her.

Although the Metropolitan Police Department imprisoned Kazuto Uehara and became a shackle that prevented him from moving freely and caused supporters within the family to lose confidence, isn't the interrogation room of the Metropolitan Police Department also a safe zone for my cheap uncle?
The accusations made by the Osaka City Police Department against Kazuto Uehara were not a big problem for him. The latter simply hired a law firm to handle the lawsuit for him, and the rest of the matter had little to do with him.

If the crime of directing a cult to launch a terrorist attack had not been too serious, and if his cheap sister had not been secretly doing bad things and hired someone to pay money to lobby certain people in the Metropolitan Police Department's public security system, Uehara Kazuto would not even have had to go to jail.

There are more disadvantages than advantages to Uehara Kazuto staying in the Metropolitan Police Department, and the small advantage is that when Fujiwara Masato wanted to kill the former, he encountered trouble.

Fujiwara Masato was unable to organize a team, so he just rushed over and robbed and killed Uehara Kazuto. This was the trouble he encountered.

If he was hiding in the Uehara Manor, or living in his own Uehara Building in Tokyo, things would be much simpler. The Poker Organization had ten ways to easily kill Uehara Kazuto.

The presence of his cheap uncle in the Metropolitan Police Department made Fujiwara Masato feel difficult. At least he could no longer carry out a hard-line attack or a sudden and devastating surprise attack.

Assassination is not easy to carry out, at least the poker organization cannot use its own people to do it.

However, even so, Fujiwara Masato still found a way to kill Uehara Kazuto.

The advantage of recruiting some non-NPC subordinates is initiative. For example, when Fujiwara Masato issued a task to kill Uehara Kazuto in the police station, Taniguchi Kotaro, who returned to Tokyo, quickly mobilized his energy and found a civilian policeman working in the Metropolitan Police Department.

This civilian policeman named Naoto Kageyama met Fujiwara Masato's requirements very well. First of all, because of his position, he could come into contact with Kazuto Uehara. At least after paying money to certain people, he was transferred to the interrogation room and was responsible for delivering meals to Kazuto Uehara.

Secondly, this policeman named Naoto Kageyama needs money, a lot of money.

There are only a few reasons for suddenly needing money: gambling, illness, and studying.

Gambling - You or someone in your family owes a lot of money from gambling.

If you, your wife, son or daughter are seriously ill and need a lot of money for surgery to save your life.

If I want my son/daughter to be successful and get admitted to a good university, I will need a lot of money for tuition.

Naoto Kageyama is both an unlucky man and a lucky man.

The reason why he is unlucky is that his wife has a serious illness - leukemia.

I won't go into detail here about what leukemia is. Anyway, this serious disease, one of the top ten incurable diseases, can be cured, with a cure rate of up to 70 percent. It just costs money, and you have to continue to spend a lot of money.

Naoto Kageyama is lucky because one of his sons is very promising. He was admitted to the private Japan Medical University this year. As long as he graduates successfully, he will become a respected doctor who can make a lot of money.

If either of these two things happened, it would be hard enough for Naoto Kageyama to deal with it, but now they happened at the same time, which made this diligent civilian policeman extremely miserable.

With Naoto Kageyama's savings over the years, if he wanted to save his wife, his son's tuition would definitely be gone. On the contrary, if he wanted his son to go to a private university, there would not be enough money for his wife's medical expenses.

This was very painful for Naoto Kageyama, who loved his wife and son very much.

Just at this time, Kotaro Taniguchi found him and offered a price that Naoto Kageyama could not refuse.

Kotaro Taniguchi did not give a huge sum of money directly to Naoto Kageyama because if he gave the money directly, after the latter completed the assassination, the Metropolitan Police Department would most likely find the money and confiscate it.

So, Kotaro Taniguchi did not give any money, he just offered Naoto Kageyama's wife a job as a customer service manager at Joker Pharmaceuticals.

Naoto Kageyama's wife only needs to go to the company for a few hours every two days. She doesn't need to do anything. She just needs to provide actual evidence that she is working at Joker Pharmaceuticals, and then the company will remit her a salary every month.

With the fixed monthly salary, plus Naoto Kageyama's savings, it is enough to treat Naoto Kageyama's wife's leukemia and allow his son to go to school.

If Naoto Kageyama's wife succeeds during the treatment, the company will fire her and give her a large sum of money as compensation.

On the contrary, if the treatment fails, Joker Pharmaceuticals will launch a fundraising campaign for her within the company.

Regardless of whether the fundraising is real or fake, the company will transfer a large sum of money into Naoto Kageyama's family account in the name of charity. This money is enough for Naoto Kageyama's son to live in Tokyo for another ten years after graduating from college.

In addition, as long as Naoto Kageyama kills Kazuto Uehara, the poker organization will ask lawyer Rintaro Nojiri to sue for him and reduce Naoto Kageyama's sentence.

Japan has the death penalty, but for some reason that everyone knows but cannot say, the existence of the death penalty in Japan is the same as not having it.

Someone who killed the former Prime Minister of Japan with a homemade thermal weapon would not be sentenced to death, and Naoto Kageyama who killed Kazuto Uehara would certainly not be sentenced to death either.

As long as he has the help of a great lawyer, Naoto Kageyama will only need to serve a few years in prison and then he will be able to get out.

Taniguchi Kotaro promised that as long as Kageyama Naoto's sentence was over, he would provide him with an easy job so that he could support his family. Kageyama Naoto was inevitably tempted. He only needed to kill Uehara Kazuto, and he would have a job for the rest of his life, and he wouldn't have to worry about his wife's medical expenses and his son's tuition.

The price is that you have to sacrifice your future in the police department and spend a few years in jail.

Compared to the benefits, the cost is worth it.

Naoto Kageyama was not worried that Torataro Taniguchi would go back on his word because the latter had already proven his credibility to him in some way.

The profits made Naoto Kageyama extremely satisfied, but he still had one last concern... Would he be retaliated against if he killed Kazuto Uehara?

In response, Kotaro Taniguchi gave him a reassurance.

"When the target of the mission dies, someone will take his place. When you kill the target, remember to say 'Uehara Rue gave me her regards'. This will naturally eliminate most of the possibility of revenge. As for the remaining small part, the Poker Organization will solve it for you."

Then there will be no problem for Jingshan Naoto.

The next step is to have Naoto Kageyama receive professional training from a professional assassination coach after get off work.

Fujiwara Masato did not let Kageyama Naoto go directly, because although the latter could contact the target of the mission, due to police regulations, Kageyama Naoto could not carry a pistol to meet the target of the mission.

In addition, Naoto Kageyama is a civilian police officer, and he is really not good at killing people with his bare hands. If Naoto Kageyama is allowed to do it directly, the probability of failure will definitely be greater than the probability of success.

Because it would be impossible for Naoto Kageyama to use a suitable weapon during the assassination, and it would be difficult for him to strangle a living person to death with his bare hands, Huangmao professionally trained Naoto Kageyama how to use Japanese pointed chopsticks to kill people.

It is a bit difficult to train Naoto Kageyama to be a professional killer, and it will take a long time, but it only takes three days to train him to kill a person with chopsticks and train his specific skills.

Then, after completing his training, Naoto Kageyama seized the opportunity and gave Kazuto Uehara a hard blow.

The final result is that Uehara Kazuto died, Uehara Rui volunteered to take the blame, and Kageyama Naoto would confess during the interrogation that it was one of Uehara Rui's subordinates who ordered it, and the investigation would terminate at this point.

Dead people are worthless. If the assassination had not succeeded and Uehara Kazuto had survived, the Metropolitan Police Department might still be interested in finding trouble with Uehara Ryue, but since the former is dead, an investigation becomes unnecessary.

Besides, the police are not fools. Even if they don't have evidence, they can roughly guess who the real culprit is. Uehara Rui has just risen to prominence, and even if she has some strength, she doesn't have the ability to bribe a policeman to do dirty work.

Even though she dared to give the money, Naoto Kageyama didn't dare to take it.

Therefore, it is obvious who is the mastermind behind Kageyama Naoto killing Uehara Kazuto, but everyone knows about it but won't say it out loud.

If you dare to speak without evidence, you will have to bear the corresponding consequences... Even if you have evidence, don't speak nonsense. If you eat carelessly, at most you will kill yourself. If you speak carelessly, you will not be the only one who will go to heaven.

Uehara Kazuto is dead, and the person who benefited the most is Uehara Rui, so she must be the mastermind behind all this, and the mastermind can only be her. The latter also knows that she has to take the blame.

It's not just because of the allies' request, but also because her own interests require this blame. If she does not acknowledge this fact, then the supporters within the family who have defected to her, as well as the subordinates recently recruited by Uehara Rui, will all think that she is unreliable and incompetent.

In short, the mastermind who ordered Kageyama Naoto to kill Uehara Kazuto was Uehara Rui, that's it.

Now that Uehara Kazuto is dead, Fujiwara Masato can return to Tokyo.

Uehara Rui herself could not wait to rush back to Uehara Manor with her subordinates and a team of armed bodyguards supported by the Poker Organization, preparing to officially become the head of the Uehara family and take over the family's power.

This job is not easy. It is so complicated that Fujiwara Masato feels his scalp tingling just thinking about it. Only Uehara Rui is willing to dive into the vortex of power and money, so, wish her good luck.

For Fujiwara Masato, the matter regarding the Uehara family can finally come to an end... No way.

"Beep beep..."

"Hey."

"Moshi Moshi... I'm Uehara Rue, where are you now?"

Fujiwara Masato narrowed his eyes, moved the phone away from his ear, looked at the number displayed on the satellite phone in confusion, and then hung up.

"Someone is coming."

"boss?"

"Go tell the captain to move the yacht immediately."

"Hi Yi."

At the same time, Fujiwara Masato also opened the system map, trying to find the wrong unit in Tokyo, but he looked several times and couldn't see any hostile units.

As for outside of Japan, there were so many people hostile to playing cards that Fujiwara Masato didn't gain much.

After searching for a while and failing to find the problem, Fujiwara Masato thought for a while, took out the second satellite phone and called Minako Nakazaki.

"Use your personal phone to call Uehara Ryu's number right now. If you can't get through, call me and tell me. If you can get through, tell her that a woman with a voice exactly like her just tried to call me pretending to be her and wanted to know my location."

"Understood, Boss. I'll call her right away."

Not long after, Minako Nakazaki called back.

"Boss, I successfully contacted Miss Uehara Ryui. She told me that she didn't call you just now. At the same time, she had a guess that the person who called you was most likely Uehara Kazuto's daughter, Uehara Mai.

They are cousins. Not only do they look alike, but they also sound alike. Miss Uehara Ruyi said that if she was impersonating, it would be difficult to detect that something was wrong. Before the lady returned to the manor, Uehara Mai herself had disappeared.

"I think that's not the only bad news."

"Yes, boss. Uehara Mai disappeared along with Uehara Kazuto's loyal subordinates."
