Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 457 - 214: Sixth Successor

"Hungry," Gu Ji replied casually.

Since he could use food to get a free acceleration, he was certainly happy to save a few more points, so he quickly ordered two more vegetable platters to supplement some vitamins and dietary fiber.

"Tsk tsk, it’s really unsafe abroad, something happened again!"

"Are you talking about that plane incident? They say planes are the safest, but I’m still too scared to fly. If something goes wrong, there’s no way to escape!"

...

While they were waiting for their meal, the conversation of a young couple nearby drifted into Gao Bo’s ears.

He suddenly became interested, "Hey, have you two seen the AM649 news?"

"I saw it. I heard four people unfortunately died," Gu Ji chatted, somewhat absentmindedly.

Then Wu Kang chimed in: "It’s already quite impressive. To be honest, the plane had issues, the captain was killed, there were two hijackers aboard, plus local Mexican drug traffickers took them hostage. Even if our Dragon and Tiger Assault Team went up, we couldn’t have handled it so perfectly!"

Gao Bo: "You mean..."

Wu Kang pursed his lips, "I think there must be intelligence support behind this, just like... like that incident with the Diamond Star Cruise in Japan. Otherwise, how could a retired special police officer manage to stay ahead of drug traffickers with tremendous influence everywhere? I think this personal counter-terrorism operation was perfect, it might even end up in our textbooks."

Gu Ji narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly.

Wu Kang, despite being somewhat lacking in practical experience, was excellent in analyzing problems, as he was one of the top students back then.

That’s right.

If it weren’t for the intelligence from the death rerun, he wouldn’t have handled it so well, just the hidden hijacker "Sunglasses Aunt" was headache enough.

Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but sigh.

Without the chance to start over, could he really handle the crisis in reality and pass the glory stage?

"Maybe it was the Americans behind the scenes. They’ve invested so much in counter-terrorism, it’s not hard to insert a few special agents into flights heading to key cities."

Gao Bo placed the beef into the pot, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "By the way, is there any news from Chen Zhiyu yet? The 10.16 case should be about to close. When is a good time for us all to gather?"

Gu Ji shook his head.

Even though he had, through Jian Na, learned that Chen Zhiyu, Shi Zhengmin, and Zeng Dan had gone to Japan, on the surface, the district SWAT team couldn’t possibly know the specific action route of the National Security Special Service.

Mention of a "gathering" made Wu Kang’s eyes light up slightly, and he coughed twice, "Right, we haven’t gathered in a while. It’s getting colder and colder in Ningzhou recently. I don’t know when Chen Zhiyu will get a break. Monk even asked me yesterday what I’ve been busy with, by the way, has there been any news about Ding Lan lately?"

"Not sure, probably busy with graduate studies."

Since borrowing a book from Ding Lan last time, Gu Ji’s language learning had been quite effective.

It might have something to do with him enhancing his central nervous system and strengthening his memory. Later, Ding Lan contacted him on WeChat twice, but he was too busy to meet.

In the next half month, Gu Ji and Gao Bo would both be on duty near the train station every day.

After November, the weather in Ningzhou became like a quarrelsome girlfriend, colder by the day. The two even switched to the winter training coats, finally experiencing the hardship of on-duty traffic police. Fortunately, the special police riot vehicle had air conditioning.

During this half month, there was no news from Japan.

After Baron traced it to the smuggling boat, the entire Japanese underworld seemed to disappear, becoming a dead calm with no information.

Until December 1st arrived.

Jian Na, Wa Xueming, and Baron suddenly contacted him simultaneously, for the same reason:

The second largest designated violent organization in Japan;

The president of Yijuan Association, the sixth-generation head, Tangang Jianyi;

Died in his home at 2 AM!

Currently, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s preliminary investigation showed the cause of death was a sudden heart attack.

Gu Ji immediately used the ghost server to check on this person.

Tangang Jianyi, born in 1961, nicknamed "Seeing Mountain," was from the Jixinshe martial arts faction, which referred to those advocating the use of violence to achieve goals.

The Japanese Yakuza has a strict hierarchy, and a major gang usually controls over a dozen small ones.

Yijuan Association was like a headquarters, managing many secondary organizations similar to subsidiaries, such as Jixinshe, Quanlong Group, Liangben, etc. These secondary organizations were usually closely united around Yijuan Association, relying on this golden sign to make a living. Still, they were also required to regularly pay a membership fee to the headquarters, and internal strife due to unequal profit-sharing was common.

"The death of the sixth-generation president, could something big happen?"

Just as Gu Ji was lost in thought, Deputy Captain Zhao Bin came over with documents, calling out: "Gu Ji, Gao Bo, Mr. Zhang wants to see you!"

"Alright!"

The two exchanged a glance and walked into the captain’s office together.

At the moment, Zhang Wenjun was going through some documents on the desk. Upon hearing footsteps, he looked up and glanced at Gu Ji: "How’s your arm?"

"Recovered long ago, Mr. Zhang, even the scabs are gone." To reassure Zhang Wenjun, Gu Ji deliberately waved his arm around.

"Hmm."

Zhang Wenjun nodded, handing them the documents.

""National Dispatch, Police "2024" No. 210, Notification for Overseas Investigation Collaboration on the 9.12 Missing Kidnapping Case in Japan"

Seeing the title, Gu Ji’s eyelid twitched involuntarily.

He vaguely knew what it was about.

Reading the document content piqued Gao Bo’s interest. He couldn’t help but grin and ask, "Mr. Zhang, are we being sent to Japan to investigate the case?"

"You’re special police officers, what case would you investigate?"

"Then it’s..."

"You’re going to protect the police officers investigating it over there. Currently, this kidnapping case involves Yijuan Association, one of the largest crime syndicates in Japan, and just last night, its president suddenly died. Yijuan Association has been on the verge of splitting in recent years. With the president dead, chaos is inevitable."

Zhang Wenjun raised his tea cup, took a sip, and continued, "The Japan Police Department is now overwhelmed, causing the investigation progress of the missing kidnapping case to be very slow. To ensure the investigation proceeds smoothly, the provincial and municipal police decided to send a few special police to protect the personal safety of our overseas public security officers!"

"Understood! Rest assured, Mr. Zhang, we’re familiar with this, guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Gao Bo straightened his back, just about to state his stance when Zhang Wenjun interrupted.

"Wait, I’m not finished. Remember two points for this overseas assistance: first, you are Xia Kingdom police, you don’t have law enforcement authority in Japan, you can’t carry firearms or prohibited weapons according to Japanese law, whether it’s searching or investigating, the presence of Japanese police is required; second, regarding the colleagues you’re protecting, don’t ask questions or speak unnecessarily, pay attention to confidentiality principles; specific arrangements, once you reach Japan, the embassy will have an overseas police liaison officer conduct the handover with you."

"Got it, Mr. Zhang." Gu Ji nodded.

Based on what Zhang Wenjun said, it was clear they were going to protect Zeng Dan, Shi Zhengmin, and Chen Zhiyu.

Though the National Security Special Service also trains in shooting, police combat, and other subjects, fundamentally it is similar to detectives.

They are investigative officers.

Unlike special police officers, they are the purest violent unit, not responsible for investigating cases, only for apprehending suspects. They either conduct duty or training every day, so their training volume far exceeds that of regular police, and their combat ability approaches that of quasi-military soldiers.

Even so, needing special police protection suggested the situation in Japan was not optimistic.

"Alright, go back and pack and prepare. Someone from the division’s Political Department will contact you. They’ll arrange the specific flight information and schedule."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang!"

After the two left the office.

Staring at the closed door, Zhang Wenjun sighed deeply and then continued browsing the document in his hand, with the title glaringly stating: "Discussion Results on the Personnel Restructuring List of the Third Squad of the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team (First Edition)".
