Please make money.

Colleague No. 2 pointed at the fishing net on his body and said, "This is not an ordinary fishing net. This is the leftover material of the steel trawl net, which is only used by large fishing boats. I guess it was broken and they took it for recycling. In the fights between the Yakuza, the Kudo Society always used short knives and nets."

"Oh, you had their information from your previous operations. I see - are they fishing?"

"They didn't know how to fish before, but the president of a fishery association in Japan was killed by them because he didn't want to cooperate with them. Since then, they have been able to fish."

"He must have learned a lot from you guys, and fishing and stuff like that might be related to what they do. Did you see that car?"

"Well, it's lined with lead sheets, and the car has obviously been modified. These guys are very professional..."

If it comes to smuggling, fisheries, especially distant-water fisheries, are indeed a good entry point.

Perhaps the unwillingness to cooperate should more accurately be called a desire to not bring trouble upon oneself. The president of the Fisheries Association has plenty of ways to make money safely.

But the Kudo Kai obviously didn't care about cooperation or not, and just defeated them directly. They are famous for their bellicosity.

Now it seems that it is no wonder that the BOSS couldn't find any trace of the other party. The other party turned out to be one of the local tyrants.

"No wonder they were able to get this kind of special vehicle, it turns out they have connections... But then again, their boss was arrested, why are they still so arrogant?"

"You should ask the Black Bee-Tiger this question." Colleague No. 2 pointed at the helicopter above his head.

Why, now that Colonel Ka is gone, are his SS members running around the world, playing the role of sniper observers and the like?

Of course, it’s because I can’t do the previous jobs anymore, so I can only take orders myself, so naturally I have no scruples…

"Ah, this place looks quite peaceful, I didn't expect it to be so chaotic."

Colleague No. 1 took a look at the ransom money that was taken away. He didn't seem nervous, but just sighed: "It turned out that it could be robbed. Tsk——"

"The boss said before that if they dare to do this, they must have some support, and you just acted like that too."

“How long do you think it will take them to discover the problem?”

"I don't know. Their car has been modified. It will probably take a long time to find out."

"But now that their disguise has been discovered, can they still escape?"

"That's not something we need to worry about. We're just responsible for letting the other side get those safe deposit boxes."

Colleague No. 2 said as he looked down at the unlucky guy they caught: "Oh, there's also a tongue."

"Do you think he'll confess? I heard them talking about a younger brother or something like that."

"…We have anti-interrogation training, what about you?"

"Uh-yes, so you want to try it? I think it might be unsightly."

As he was speaking, a patrol car from the Metropolitan Police Department finally arrived. This time, the people who came should be normal members of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Because as soon as the other party saw them, they immediately became alert to the point of sweating on their foreheads, and were extremely wary of their tactical equipment.

"Actually, we are registered escorts." Colleague No. 1 said this and raised his hands: "Really, we just joined today."

"You don't look Norwegian, you look more like Hollywood, with a dry sense of humour."

"Really? I'm just telling the truth. Besides, were there any hostages in the car just now?"

"I didn't see any. If there were any, the Black Bee-Tiger would most likely shoot and wouldn't let them get away like that. It's also possible that they didn't see any in the car."

"So now they're not chasing people, but are targeting us instead?"

"Please understand..."

……

……

"The third escort vehicle was attacked."

Inspector Matsumoto stood in front of Chief Inspector Odagiri and said in a low voice: "Two heavily loaded vehicles, this was a deliberate car accident."

"The third route - Fukuoka..."

It is normal that there are different factions within the Metropolitan Police Department.

For example, there are professional groups that graduate from different universities, or regional divisions that are transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department from different regions, such as the Kanto faction and the Kansai faction.

The person in charge of the third escort happened to be from the Fukuoka line - it couldn't be said to be a coincidence, it was just his arrangement.

"Yes, and among all the previous missing persons cases, the number in Fukuoka is the highest."

"Does Kuroda have anything to say?"

"…He is very stubborn and refuses to admit that he planned the kidnapping. He still says that Fujita is the one who manipulated everything."

"Fujita Tsuyoshi has no criminal record in this area. He is skilled in kidnapping, smuggling people, and making those illegal immigrants work for him... He can only be a gang."

The secretary knocked on the door and came in: "Superintendent, the latest news is that the ransom that Miss Ai arranged to deliver was snatched away by the other party, but a suspect was caught."

"Another one has been caught - together with the three kidnappers from before, this makes four people caught now."

"Four more escaped." The secretary picked up the file in his hand and said, "There are some problems with the other two...security personnel of Miss Ai."

"what is the problem?"

"They are special hired personnel. One of them has a service record in the Navy SEALs. She claimed to have participated in a capture operation arranged by the District Prosecutor's Office in 14. She suspected that the kidnappers this time were related to the former Kudo Society."

I heard earlier that Inspector Matsumoto was still muttering about what kind of monsters Alia had invited.

But when he heard the latter part, his eyes suddenly widened: "Kudo Society--"

Superintendent Odagiri folded his hands in front of him and was silent for two seconds: "Okay, I understand, you go ahead and do your work."

"Yes." The secretary walked out the door. Before leaving, he seemed to think of something and looked back: "Captain, is there really nothing you want me to do?"

"No - stay safe."

"……Yes."

The door was closed, and Inspector Matsumoto turned around and angrily punched the table: "It turned out to be someone from the Kudo-kai! Damn it! We banned them in the first place!"

"We only arrested their leader. Moreover, over the past few years, the trial has been held 60 or 70 times, but there is still no sentence."

The person who was arrested in 14 was interrogated until 22. Even at this time, the remnants of the enemy were still running around everywhere. This is simply ridiculous.

But in this book, this kind of thing is really not new...

In 95, Asahara Shoko of the Aum Shinrikyo cult carried out a subway gas attack, killing 15 people and injuring more than 6000 people. He was arrested at the time.

After he was arrested, he was sentenced to death at the first instance nine years later. Two years later, the second instance upheld the original verdict and rejected the appeal. The death penalty was not actually carried out until 9 years later.

As a result, the other party spent 23 years in prison. You should know that he was already years old when he was arrested.

The leader of the Kudo-kai who was arrested before was in a similar situation, although the Kudo-kai itself has been banned and the organization disbanded.

However, those desperate criminals who once committed crimes were not completely arrested. They just turned from the open to the secret and continued to commit crimes.

"If it's them, then everything is correct...kidnapping, organ trafficking, smuggling, and explosives."

The Kudo-kai had a warehouse seized by the Metropolitan Police Department before, which contained not only a large number of light weapons but also RPG rocket launchers.

Even a chaebol like Toyota once had a factory built in Kitakyushu and was bombed and detonated because it failed to reach an agreement with the other party on protection fees.

But in this underworld, it has always been the younger brother's obligation to take the blame for the older brother.

Therefore, even if such a warehouse was discovered by the Metropolitan Police Department, there would be no way to arrest the ringleader.

Because no matter what role the boss played, it was the small fry who took the blame, and there were a large number of lawyers to take care of things, and the top leaders suppressed the matter.

"Fukuoka - Matsumoto Ryu?" If there was a Kudo Society, then Matsumoto would have guessed who the other party's backer was. It was his own family.

"That cabinet environment minister, a special minister? He's such a big shot..."

Superintendent Odagiri looked at the map and said, "But the other party will never admit it. When the sun rises tomorrow, Kuroda and these kidnappers will disappear."

The Kudo-kai has been banned, so it cannot be involved in a non-existent organization, and the former leader has already been in jail.

The huge network covering the white tower is just one part of the huge black industry.

Even Minister Matsumoto, who threatened reporters in public, is just one of the cogs, just a large one.

"If this matter ends here, then we should mobilize all our manpower to catch the fleeing kidnappers as soon as possible, and then search for the kidnapped victims." Superintendent Matsumoto pursed his lips and said, "The other party is driving a disguised fire truck and is fleeing along the bay coast. The Mokuto Police Department is chasing them."

"Why do those guys have retired emergency vehicles and fire trucks and have the experience to blend in with us?"

"..."

“Why are they able to continuously provide organs for transplantation to the White Tower, and even have non-profit organizations act as intermediaries for them?”

"This……"

"The Kudo-kai threw grenades into the entertainment hall, killing and injuring 12 people. Do you still remember this incident?"

"...Yes, I led a team to search it at that time."

"What did you find out?"

"Someone pleaded guilty, and that was the end of the case."

"It's the same this time. Someone will confess, Kuroda, or someone else, or maybe one of those nameless kidnappers who sneaked in without an identity card. They look like vicious thugs... Whether we can find Miss Ai's family or not, the Metropolitan Police Department has done its best. When facing the reporters, we only need to bow and apologize, and we can gain a friendship that is absolutely worth a lot of money. Maybe Miss Ai will be very angry, but she is just an ordinary entrepreneur after all. She can't affect my future. Minister Matsumoto, who threatened the reporters, will never threaten me. He will even treat me as a guest of honor... right?"

"Yes." Inspector Matsumoto said without pausing: "But this is reality."

“Yeah, that’s reality—have you seen the Black Gospel?”

"…What is that?" Inspector Matsumoto, who had no entertainment life, was confused.

"When I was filming a movie, someone even came to me and asked for authorization."

"Authorization?" Inspector Matsumoto was confused. "Is it a movie related to you?"

"It's related to my father... The movie was adapted from a real case that investigated similar black market transactions, and the prototype was my father."

Not many people know about the family background of Superintendent Odagiri. He came from a professional group and had to force his way into the first grade of junior high school, and worked his way up to the position of the third-in-command of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"My father once told me that as long as you have faith, you can live a vibrant life... I asked to add this sentence to the movie, and they agreed."

Inspector Matsumoto didn't know these things, but he still admired him: "Your father is an amazing man. He must have solved the case, right?"

"No, the case is not solved, he is dead... faith can no longer support him to move on."

The murder case involved a flight attendant, and involved a massive black market transaction.

Because it involved a transnational smuggling transaction using civil aviation routes, and the transaction also involved the church, foreigners, high-level officials and even some people within the Metropolitan Police Department, the whole case ended up in nothing. The suspect was caught, and even the suspect himself could not bear the psychological pressure and wanted to confess, but was still taken away "in order to protect the reputation of the church."

The father of Chief Inspector Odagiri was ostracized by his colleagues because of his stubborn desire to find the truth and arrest the criminal.

Later he died, but he could not forget that case until his death. It was later called an indelible stain in the criminal investigation history of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The fact that he was able to be promoted so smoothly may be due to the fact that some people were trying to atone for the "stain" of the past.

As a result, after so many years, the same collusion, the same ties of support and protection, the same black market transactions are still happening.

The main difference was that his father was an ordinary criminal policeman, while he himself was already a superintendent of police.

Successful and famous...

“……”Inspector Matsumoto didn’t know how to answer, so he chose to remain silent and just looked at the other person.

"Now I have two choices, to die like my father, or to live as the chief inspector."

Inspector Odagiri picked up the gun on the table, put it on his holster after a long time, and changed his tone.

"I haven't been out on the field for a while, do you want to come with me?"

Inspector Matsumoto took off the other person's coat, shook it out and waited for him to put it on.

He never said whether he would go or not, but expressed his thoughts through actions.

"Inspector Odagiri, you are still so slow today!"

"Inspector Matsumoto, you are a guy from the non-professional group, is this how you talk to a superior like me?"

"Ah, yes, yes, you noblemen are really amazing. This year you are still deputy police officers, and next year you will be the Superintendent General, right?"

“…What my father didn’t do back then, I probably can’t do today either.”

"But a nobleman who has faith and is eager to live is a miracle in itself, isn't it?"

"Since it's a miracle, let's let it bloom a little brighter." Superintendent Odagiri put on his coat and straightened his cuffs.

"Gather the old guys. After sitting in the office for so many years, it's time to move a little. We need to place some guests!"

The former No. 1 nobleman of the Metropolitan Police Department, now the Chief of Police, picked up the document that had been on the table for a long time.

The information that Alia had previously given to the Metropolitan Police Department probably involved quite a lot of distinguished guests, and they were extremely expensive.

Just when they made up their minds, the secretary came in and pushed the door open without knocking.
