Chapter 533: Chapter 377

(Don’t look yet, add a title when it’s revised, roughly an hour and a half)

Hirakawa Ken pondered how to handle this matter and wondered, "As for him capturing the police, what did that Hua Country guy say? Didn’t he provide any explanation?"

"There is an explanation, but... he said the police officer was actually a bad person, a former member of a vicious criminal organization. He captured the officer as a righteous act." Matsumoto Kosei’s voice sounded somewhat speechless.

Huh?

What sort of nonsense is this?

Hirakawa Ken suspected he was hearing some sort of comic book story setup. What kind of ghostly vicious criminal organization?

How could he, a bona fide gang member, not know about that!

Hirakawa Ken frowned tightly, "Did he say what identity the person he captured holds? And why are they in Japan? Why seek those people? What are his own origins, what is he up to, and why is he entangled with those South Korean police officers? What is his aim in seeking those people?"

Hirakawa Ken asked a heap of real-world questions.

These doubts existed earlier, but with the idea that as long as there’s money to be made, who cares about such matters, a little probing yielded no results, so it wasn’t pursued further, merely treated as a somewhat eccentric commission.

But after discovering the person was a South Korean police officer, if they still planned to pursue the commission, these questions couldn’t be ignored.

Matsumoto Kosei’s voice became even more speechless, "I’ve asked him directly about these things too. He said... he’s a tourist from China visiting Japan, where he accidentally witnessed a Dark Organization transaction scene and got dragged into a Dark Organization conspiracy. Originally, the Dark Organization intended to kill him, but he stalled them by claiming he was skilled and could work for the Dark Organization. Then the Dark Organization assigned him the task of finding the organization’s traitor..."

"No sincerity." Hirakawa Ken shook his head, interrupting directly.

Mention the Dark Organization again and again; if he were 8 years old, he’d think it’s cool, but now he’s 58.

Matsumoto Kosei also felt there was no sincerity, "Manager, I feel there are just too many doubts surrounding him. Since he refuses to reveal his intentions to us, we shouldn’t take on the commission."

"Mm, withdraw."

Hirakawa Ken made the decision.

"What about the ten thousand yen he spent, should we ask him to return it?" Referring to Wu Mu’s tour guide fee for Nanako.

"Forget it, just consider it a gift."

If it were an ordinary person, losing ten thousand yen and wanting to escape? They’d probably have to strip off clothes to repay the debt.

But when facing someone searching for and then eliminating South Korean police officers everywhere... forget it, a loss is a loss.

After finishing dealing with the commission from that bizarre Hua Country guy and ending the call with Matsumoto Kosei, Hirakawa Ken originally planned to return to the team’s base to check things out, but before he could set off, he received another call.

He glanced at the caller ID, it was a call from Takao Yoshikawa, the team’s Assistant Deputy.

The hierarchical structure of Japanese gang organizations varies slightly across different groups, but generally, it consists of: President/Leader (top), second-in-command, Chief Lieutenant, Assistant Deputy (senior management), Apprentice/Juniors (grassroots members), and so on.

The Assistant Deputy is considered part of the organization’s upper management.

Hirakawa Ken didn’t dare to neglect and answered the call quickly, and upon answering, he was shocked, "Futian Association leader Fukuda Ryuichi has been captured by the Shenchuan Association!?"

The Assistant Deputy on the other end was also anxious, "We didn’t expect Futian Association to be so useless! Although Futian Association hasn’t been relations with us, we can’t just watch them be wiped out like this, otherwise those Shenchuan Association people won’t be satisfied with just the territory in 2-chome, they’ll set their sights on us; we need to support Futian Association together!"

Nanako had indeed heard accurate rumors before; recently, there’s been a violent conflict in Kabukicho.

Hmm, the source of the conflict has a bit of absurdity and randomness — it all stems from Japan’s World’s Fair this year.

This April, Japan’s Osaka is hosting the World’s Fair, and fearing that gangs might cause trouble during the event, the Japanese police are cracking down fiercely on all major Osaka gangs.

The crackdown was intense, coupled with the fact that the Osaka gangs’ business hasn’t been prosperous for years, so some gangs headed north to Tokyo...

This Shenchuan Association is a gang coming from Osaka.

Upon arrival, perhaps fearing to attract higher-ups’ attention, they didn’t boldly target Nishi-guchi Group operating in Kabukicho 1-chome with many tourists but instead sought out Futian Association.

However, Hirakawa Ken also knows, once these people establish a foothold, they’ll undoubtedly extend their influence towards Nishi-guchi Group’s territory, after all, tourist money is easy to grab, who wouldn’t be jealous.

Nishi-guchi Group’s upper management also understands the principle of the lips perishing and teeth getting cold, but to some extent, they harbored thoughts of letting Shenchuan Association first expend some hostility on old adversary Futian Association, so they chose to watch events unfold for a while.

Yet unexpectedly, while watching, Futian Association’s leader vanished.

The calling Assistant Deputy cursed Futian idiots inwardly, then straightforwardly stated, "Now that Futian Association’s leader is captured, we must quickly contact their second-in-command Takahashi Tetsu, have him regroup the personnel and jointly deal with Shenchuan Association. But Takahashi Tetsu has hidden following an attack, clearly, no one can find him. I need you to quickly find a way to contact Takahashi Tetsu, hurry! Shenchuan Association is searching for him too!"
