Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 211 Combating prostitution and organized crime is the police's primary duty.
In the parking lot, Masamiko drove the bookstore's delivery van back to the bookstore, instructing the female plainclothes officers to take good care of the three men who planned to rob the store, while the rest of the plainclothes officers returned to the bookstore.

After a friendly greeting, the three men, bleeding from their mouths and noses and with bruised and swollen faces, finally revealed their backgrounds and identities.

"The Black Stone Group? If I remember correctly, the Black Stone Group's main area of ​​operation is in places like Toyama and Fukui in the Chubu region. Why are you here?"

"I just came here to have some fun!"

The female plainclothes officer pressed down hard on the yakuza's toes, slowly grinding them down, her expression extremely indifferent.

"Keep lying, I'm listening."

Seeing the female plainclothes officer's pistol hanging to the ground, the three yakuza dared not be angry or speak out. At this moment, the island nation's police were very flexible in their approach to things.

Not to mention forcing myself to keep going, who knows how much more suffering I'll have to endure.

They weren't high-ranking members of the gang; they were just frontline members who spotted a potential target and wanted to make some extra money.

Unexpectedly, instead of making extra money, he ended up getting himself into trouble.

Faced with the plainclothes female officer and others' blunt questioning, the three members of the Black Stone Group finally couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out their purpose for coming here.

In short, the new leader of the Black Stone Group was not satisfied with the territory in the central region and wanted to expand his sphere of influence, so he set his sights on Osaka, the most prosperous city in the Kinki region.

The three of them were the first to arrive as the vanguard to gather information.

On the way, they happened to see Jia Yezi and her companion coming out of the Kakizaki-cho Trading Company. Instead of making some extra money, they ended up in the hands of the plainclothes female officers.

After listening to the report, the female plainclothes officer frowned and told her superior that this was no longer a simple attempted robbery case.

The clashes between the yakuza organizations in the two regions will have an extremely negative impact on the security environment and further lead to economic problems.

The island nation's economy is already in a downturn, and if they were to take large-scale action and trigger a chain reaction, it would be too late.

"Understood. Take them into custody and bring them back to the station. I will report this situation to the Superintendent of Police tomorrow."

In Toshifumi Asahi's office, he thought that after his promotion, he would have less to do and could just drink tea and read the newspaper every day.

Unexpectedly, after being promoted, I had even more responsibilities, including maintaining public safety, managing traffic order, and supervising basic community policing within my jurisdiction.

Implementing the various police policies formulated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Public Safety Commission, including crime prevention, emergency response, and a whole host of other miscellaneous matters, was driving him crazy.

Just as he was reviewing an internal document from Tokyo, a phone call suddenly came in on his cell phone.

Looking at the note above, Toshifumi Akihito suddenly answered the phone.

"Hey, is something wrong with Miss Jia Yezi?!"

"No, that's not it. But today we caught three yakuza members who were trying to rob Miss Jia Yezi. After interrogating them, there are some things I feel I should report to you."

As the details of the matter were reported over the phone, Asahi Junboku's brows furrowed tightly.

"I understand. You continue to protect Miss Jia Yezi. I will handle this matter."

"clear."

After hanging up the phone, Asahi Junfu sat in his seat, lost in thought.

A moment later, Toshifuku picked up the landline and dialed.

"Bring me the information on the Black Stone Group in the central region."

"Ok."

After receiving the Black Stone Group's information and carefully reading through it, Asahi Toshifu rubbed his temples, a headache forming. "This is troublesome."

It's not that the Black Stone Group has a lot of members or a large sphere of influence. The main reason that Asahi Toshifuku is having a headache is that behind the Black Stone Group is the Yamaguchi-gumi, which occupies the entire Tohoku region.

If that were all, Toshifuku Asahi wouldn't be too troubled. What really bothers him is that the Yamaguchi-gumi's higher-ups have connections with those old fogies in the cabinet.

Moreover, since the Blackrock Group's territory is not within their own jurisdiction, they cannot directly intervene.

However, it's impossible to ignore this. Now, Osaka and the surrounding areas have all fallen into the hands of Miyagawa Shoshu of the Aote Group, thanks to the Inoue family and his own operations.

Although doing so is highly untenable from a professional standpoint, it is undeniable that controlling unstable factors in the surrounding area significantly improves public security.

The key is the existence of Miyagawa Hayashi. Now everyone in the Aote Group knows that the owner of the bookstore across from their headquarters is someone you can't mess with.

No foolish yakuza members would dare to seek their own deaths, which saved Asahi Toshifuku and the Inoue family a lot of trouble.

At the same time, the Black Stone Group is extremely arrogant, and in recent years, the security situation in Toyama and Fukui in the Chubu region has been repeatedly mentioned at the National Police Annual Meeting.

However, because the Yamaguchi-gumi was operating behind the scenes, the old guys in the cabinet always managed to suppress it.

Although he is now the Superintendent of Police in the Kinki region, he is still no match for the old guys in the cabinet.

Just as he was having a headache, Haruko Higa suddenly called his cell phone.

"President Higa, it's been a while since I've heard from you. Is there something you need my help with?"

On the phone, Haruko Higa took a drag of her cigarette.

"I just heard that the Black Stone Group almost robbed Jia Yezi?"

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be so well-informed. I was still thinking about how to handle it when you called."

"Solution?"

"Yes, the Black Stone Group is backed by the Yamaguchi Group. They have connections with the Cabinet, and since the Central Region is not under my jurisdiction, it's not easy for me to get involved."

After a moment of silence, Haruko Higa exhaled a puff of smoke in response to Toshifuku Asahi's explanation.

"No need to think too much. The Exorcism Association will discover a highly dangerous, S-level paranormal event in the central region by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, which is suspected to be related to the Black Stone Group."

"The old patriarch of the Inoue family will handle the operations and keep the old guys in the cabinet quiet. As for security, you will contact the police chief in the central region to take the lead. Give him the lion's share of the credit."

“Combating prostitution and organized crime is the police’s job, so there’s no reason for him not to take it on.”

"Hiss, isn't this a bit too loud?"

As Toshifuku Asahi's question was being answered, the sound of an ashtray being touched was heard, and Haruko Higa exhaled the last puff of smoke from her mouth.

"It's too big?"

As she asked the question, recalling the dark and eerie world she had been pulled into in the clubroom, suspended upside down in the sky, Haruko Higa gave a helpless laugh.

"Heh, I wish we hadn't made such a big fuss, but there are always idiots who want to cause trouble, and the things Jia Yezi is involved in are more serious than you think."

"If something we don't want to see really happens..."

Haruko Higa didn't finish her sentence, but it inexplicably made Toshifuku Asahi feel a little flustered.
