The whole incident was that when the leader of the Shoshinokai was performing a human sacrifice, a monk in white suddenly broke in and fought with the leader. After several rounds of fighting, the monk shot the leader with a pistol. The leader fled into the temple and summoned the evil body of the Twin Buddha. A huge monster continued to fight with the monk in white. After that, the Chichibu Police Station kept receiving calls from people who saw a fire at the headquarters of the Shoshinokai.
When the other police officers and bureaucrats heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking it was absolutely ridiculous.
Human sacrifice and pistols are both very sensitive issues, but they are nothing compared to the spells and monsters mentioned in the report.
If this report were shown to the public, they would simply think that the Saitama Prefectural Police Headquarters are a bunch of lunatics.
Because the people who provided the confessions were all followers of new religions, some people believed that these were just the crazy talk of the followers, or simply hallucinations caused by the collective use of some special drugs at the religious meeting.
After all, this kind of thing is common among new religious groups.
But the Minister of Police listened attentively without saying a word, and his expression gradually became excited.
"There is one more thing. We have confirmed that the white-robed monk who came to Chichibu Police Station to report the case is the same person who broke into the ceremony. He is the arsonist on the wanted list issued by Tokyo, Di Lu!"
"Earth Land!"
When the police minister heard the name, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked:
"Are you sure it's this person?"
"We have shown the wanted warrant to the believers at the Dharma Assembly, and they have pointed out that this is the man."
"Okay! Great!"
The Minister of Police clapped his hands excitedly, looked excited, and spoke happily.
The group of police officers and bureaucrats surrounding him were puzzled and wondered if their immediate superior had gone mad.
The police minister glanced at his subordinates who were kept in the dark and did not explain.
Japan's administrative divisions are divided into one city, one province, two prefectures and 43 counties. Except for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, other regions have police headquarters established and managed by local governments. Saitama Prefecture Police Headquarters is one of them.
The Chief of the Saitama Prefectural Police Headquarters is one of only 500 chief superintendents in the country, and the secret of the supernatural existence is open to senior police officers of his level.
The Minister of Police naturally knows all the inside stories about supernatural beings and monsters.
Since Di Lu, an extraordinary human being, has appeared, the monsters mentioned in this seemingly absurd report may also be real.
Since the Zhengxin Society wiped out the entire family and involved the supernatural, it was not an ordinary violent conflict or religious incident, so he had a reason to pass the buck.
The Saitama Prefectural Police Headquarters does not have a department that deals with the supernatural. In the police system, only the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Section 4 and the Public Security Bureau's Section 5 are responsible for this matter. Since it involves the supernatural, the Chief of Police can confidently say that this has nothing to do with our Saitama Prefectural Police Headquarters!
To take a step back, even if our Saitama Prefectural Police Headquarters is responsible, why couldn't your two special departments of the Metropolitan Police Department discover the monster hiding in the Shoshinkkai in advance? This is a serious dereliction of duty. The responsibility should be at least half on you, no, 70%.
The Police Minister was able to climb to this position not only because of his family background, but also because of his ability to take credit for others' work.
Moreover, the police minister was well aware that the bigwigs in Tokyo had always been obsessed with human supernatural beings. Now that he had discovered the whereabouts of one of them, reporting it would be a way of redeeming himself.
"Okay, I will report the matter of the Bukozan Shoshikai to the Metropolitan Police Department right away. If all goes as expected, our Saitama Prefecture headquarters will soon no longer be responsible for investigating this matter." The police chief said with a relaxed look on his face, his tone becoming cheerful.
Having made such a great contribution, he at least won't have to kneel down and apologize at future press conferences. He can just bow and apologize. A 90-degree bow should be able to show his sincerity!
Chapter 55 Hoshigaki Kisame's New Skin
Seven o'clock in the morning, Uchiha Mansion, Nakano District, Tokyo.
Uchiha Ming turned on the faucet and the running water washed over his hands.
Looking at these two clean hands, Uchiha Ming felt very calm. Even though he killed so many people yesterday, his heart was still calm.
Is it simply because those evil party members of the Orthodox Church are not only strangers but also deserve to be put to death?
I'm afraid it's not just that, because ordinary people are completely powerless in the face of extraordinary power, the gap is even greater than that between a strong man armed to the teeth and a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. In the process of fighting, a sense of unreality is created, and there is even an illusion that one is clearing out NPCs.
I am not born cold-blooded, Uchiha Ming said with a wry smile.
But even so, Uchiha Ming did not feel any remorse or regret. Not only that, he had no intention of stopping there, as there was still a scum to clean up today.
Uchiha Ming plugged the stopper of the sink, scooped up a handful of ice water with both hands and washed his face, feeling a little more refreshed.
The trip to Wujia Mountain was quite rewarding. In addition to the three new ninjutsu, the Twin Buddha also provided him with 180 ninjutsu. He immediately used 100 ninjutsu to upgrade his Fire Style to LV3. If he only practiced in the training field, it might take three months.
This is probably what it means: a horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth.
After obtaining the first LV3 skill and turning the entire manor of Zhengxinhui into ruins in one go, Uchiha Ming could clearly feel that the LV3 skill was a watershed, which was completely different from the previous LV2.
LV3 Fire Style corresponds to the jonin level, I wonder what level the LV4 corresponding to the Kage level will reach, burning the sky and boiling the sea? Burning the entire Arakawa to boiling?
Haha, of course it’s unlikely. This is just Uchiha Ming’s fantasy.
The water from the tap is still flowing.
Uchiha Ming rubbed his face, his handsome face still looking thoughtful.
The Twin Buddha, which has been in existence for twelve years and possesses two LV2 skills, is almost as powerful as a Chunin. With its strength, it can call itself a fighting monster among monsters. Then other general cadre-level monsters may not be much stronger. Monsters under ten years old are completely trash.
Among those monsters, the only one that needs to be feared is the big monster that is born in the first year of the Demon Year.
Even if it is a big monster, it is unlikely that its strength will suddenly expand to the level of a jonin.
As for Uchiha Ming, who possesses LV3 Fire Style and various Fire Style Ninjutsu, as well as the Sharingan, should he consider taking the initiative?
Moreover, after these days of practice, Uchiha Ming's bird clone technique has reached perfection, and can already exert nearly 70% to 80% of the original body's strength. Even if he misses the attack and is killed, it is the bird clone that is killed. There are plenty of crows in Tokyo, so he can catch them when the time comes. Uchiha Ming himself is not in danger.
It’s a pity that Uchiha Ming couldn’t find any trace of the Tokyo monster. The big monster who was nicknamed teacher has always been a thorn in his throat.
Then we can only rely on the power of the Metropolitan Police Department.
The first thing to do is to fish in troubled waters, and it would be even better if you can lure the snake out of its hole.
The sink was already full of water and was about to overflow. Uchiha Ming fixed his eyes and made a seal.
"Water Body Technique!"
The water in the washbasin condensed into a ball of water in the air, and then turned into a human figure.
The tall figure was wearing a black robe with red clouds, had a terrifying face, small eyes, and shark gill-like patterns on his cheeks. His mouth opened to reveal a mouthful of sharp shark fangs.
The first glance at this person will remind people of a shark, and one might suspect that he is a shark spirit.
It was none other than the Akatsuki member, the traitor ninja of the Hidden Mist Village, Hoshigaki Kisame.
"No, it's still too human-like and not like a monster."
Uchiha Ming looked at this intently. He transformed into Hoshigaki Kisame through the water clone technique and transformation technique.
"So what?"
Hoshigaki Kisame stretched out his hand to turn off the faucet, then made a transformation seal and his image changed.
In the original character image, the skin of the whole body turned blue-green, and the original shark gill-like lines on the face turned into real shark gill folds, extending from the cheeks to the neck, opening and closing like a shark.
In this way, even people with poor eyesight would not mistake him for a human being.
Looking at the new monster skin of Hoshigaki Kisame that he had created, Uchiha Ming nodded with satisfaction.
For a long time, Uchiha Ming has had a question: why a state agency like the Metropolitan Police Department cannot find the monster organization lurking in Tokyo.
Monsters can't transform like Uchiha Ming, but they are real human beings, with complete household registration information from birth to the present to prove it.
Not only can monsters not transform into humans, they all look grotesque and have no ability to become invisible. It would be fine if they hid in the mountains and forests, but how did they manage to hide in an international city like Tokyo without being caught by the Metropolitan Police Department?
Whether it was because the Metropolitan Police Department was too idle or the monsters were too cunning, there were other reasons. Uchiha Ming felt that he needed to wind up the Metropolitan Police Department, crack the whip, and improve their work efficiency.
Moreover, Uchiha Ming had several dealings with the Tokyo monster organization and discovered that the Tokyo Monster King, nicknamed Teacher, actually knew the principle of keeping a low profile.
Monsters are not allowed to eat humans in Tokyo, and monsters that kill people indiscriminately in Tokyo must be cleared out. The monster organization actually has such a rule. Uchiha Ming does not think that this means that the Monster King has good intentions towards humans. It is probably to avoid attracting the attention of the public and the Metropolitan Police Department.
If that’s the case, how can Uchiha Ming satisfy it?
Uchiha Ming also wanted to see how the Metropolitan Police Department and the monster organization would react when faced with a monster that was killing people openly in downtown Tokyo.
"You need to change your clothes too. You can't let people associate this black robe with red clouds with Uchiha Itachi who appeared in the abandoned mall."
Uchiha Ming clapped his hands, and the monster version of Hoshigaki Kisame turned into a pool of water and fell on the floor tiles.
…………
Edogawa-ku, Minami-Kasai-cho.
The yellow-haired gangster from the Takasaki family was wearing a decent black suit, sitting in the back seat of a Suzuki sedan, feeling uneasy but eager to try.
The Suzuki sedan headed south along the Arakawa River.
"Boss Iijima, where are we going?"
"Let's go to the headquarters of Makoto Group to purchase goods." The head of the Iijima family, who was driving the car, glanced at the yellow-haired man in the rearview mirror and replied.
The car was running with its wipers, clearing the fog off the windshield.
Although it was past seven in the morning, the fog on the road was still very thick. I wonder if it was related to the heavy rain last night.
Thanks to the heavy fog, the Suzuki sedan did not notice the black sedan following behind them.
Chapter 56: What will it become?
Edogawa District is located in the east of Tokyo, with its southern end adjacent to Tokyo Bay and its western side bordered by the Arakawa River, which originates from Mount Kobushidake and flows from north to south into the sea.
The sudden fog covered the southern part of Edogawa District. Even when driving along the Arakawa River, the white fog obscured the bank of the Arakawa River, and visibility was extremely poor. In this thick fog, cars could only carefully turn on the fog lights and drive slowly to avoid accidents.
However, the Qingtian patrol chief who was driving a black sedan did not turn on the taillights, completely ignored road traffic safety, and kept following the Suzuki car.
Inspector Aota was originally affiliated with the Fourth Section of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, but with the reform of the Metropolitan Police Department this year, the Third and Fourth Sections of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department were merged into the Gang Countermeasures Section.
A serious accident occurred on the Arakawa Bridge yesterday. A van broke through the guardrail and fell into the Arakawa River. All five people in the car drowned. The information of the deceased was quickly investigated and it was found that they were all members of the Iijima family under the designated gang Makoto-gumi.
The matter was immediately reported to the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department.
The death of five people in a traffic accident is not a small matter, and it involves a gang, which is a bit sensitive. The Gang Countermeasures Section temporarily blocked the news and sent Inspector Aota to keep an eye on the Iijima family's residence to see if there are any unusual movements.
It turned out that the head of the Iijima family drove out early in the morning. Inspector Qingtian was a little eager to try. After reporting the news to his superiors, he drove after him.
Fortunately, Patrol Captain Qingtian grew up on an island when he was a child, ate fish all year round, and had good eyesight, so he was able to catch the taillights of the Suzuki car in the fog and did not lose it.
…………
Aihiro Iijima, who is nearly 60 years old, drove to a three-story building near the Kasai Sewage Treatment Plant. This is the headquarters of the Makoto Group. To the west is Arakawa. If you stand on the roof and look out, you can also see Tokyo Bay.
Aihiro Iijima's hair was gray, and his goatee was also half white. He was as thin as an old osprey, and although his eyes were sharp, he could not hide the fatigue between his brows.
"Once you enter the headquarters of the Makoto Group, don't talk nonsense. I will take care of everything."
Aihiro Iijima glanced at the yellow-haired gangster who was looking around curiously behind him and reminded him.
Aihiro Iijima, who claims to be a true yakuza with the legacy of a knight-errant, looks down on this yellow-haired gangster who sells out his sister.
But the Iijima family is just a small group of less than ten people. After sending out five people yesterday, there were not many people left. And it happened that an old brother sprained his waist yesterday, so they had to send someone to take him to the hospital for care, resulting in Iijima Aihiro having no one available for a while.
This young, yellow-haired gangster named Takasaki has not officially joined the Iijima family, is not a real gang member, and his information has not been registered by the authorities. He is a stranger, so perhaps he can be utilized in the next business.
It was with this idea in mind that he brought the person here.
There was no one guarding the entrance of Chengzhihui's headquarters, so I walked straight in. There was only a young man at the front desk, yawning lazily and playing games on a mobile phone in his hand.
"Too lax!"
Aihiro Iijima stared with his old eyes, looked around, and thought with some dissatisfaction that if an enemy or the Metropolitan Police Department attacked at this time, they would be unable to fight back.
Moreover, when he glanced at the screen of the young Yakuza's mobile phone, he saw a beautiful two-dimensional girl in cool clothes. She made various moans as she clicked her fingers. The young Yakuza smiled and muttered something about wife.
Damn it, what exactly is otaku culture trying to corrupt us Yakuza into!
Aihiro Iijima was deeply distressed by this. He also had otakus under him, Yakuza, who were not serious about their work and even asked for leave because of activities in the game. It is said that the popularity of otaku culture has provided a place for young people who are excluded by society, which is also one of the reasons for the lack of successors in Yakuza.
"Ahem, is the team leader here?" Iijima Aihiro knocked on the front desk and asked.
"Oh, it's the old man of the Iijima family. The team leader is in the office on the third floor. He has instructed you to go see him as soon as you arrive." The young brother looked up and replied, then continued to play with his phone with his head down.
Aihiro Iijima went up to the third floor with a yellow-haired gangster carrying a black bag.
He knocked on the door, then pushed it open. Inside was a young man in his early thirties, with neatly combed hair, clean-shaved lips, and wearing gold-rimmed plain glasses.
"Team leader."
Although he is twenty years older than the leader, there is a clear hierarchy in the gang, so Iijima Akihiro can only bow his head and say hello first.
"Iijima, you're here, a little earlier than the agreed time. Please sit down."
The leader of Makoto's team looked at the yellow-haired thug following behind Iijima Aihiro and asked casually, "Iijima, you are still bringing in newcomers at your age. Where is your capable assistant, Zhukou?"
When he thought of Inoguchi and his subordinates who had been sent out yesterday and had no news since, Aikuro Iijima's eyes showed a hint of doubt. He didn't think that a Yakuza as vicious as Yoshio Inoguchi would fail. Considering the sudden torrential rain in Chichibu County, the delay might be due to this.
But he couldn't tell the team leader about the work he had taken privately, so Aihiro Iijima pretended to be calm and said:
