Tokyo: Rabbit Officer and Her Evil Partner

The quality of the firearms in hand was unsatisfactory, so Minamoto Tamako had to resort to a backup plan, planning to get an AK first, then a rifle, to expand and strengthen her position before achieving success again.

She asked the three-man group of lackeys about the local gangs, and Yi Zetao explained everything he knew, naming each faction in the Jiang City underworld one by one.

There was Brother Sun, who did earthwork, Little Li, who worked in nightclubs, and Old Wang, who dealt with demolition... People in the circle loved drinking, bragging, and making friends, and most understood each other's background. The three simply squatted in an alley, intensely discussing who had more guns, looking like street punks at first glance.

In the end, the three unanimously agreed that Brother Sun, who did earthwork, was the fiercest and might have about a dozen guns. If they were going to make a move, it should be against him.

Minamoto Tamako thought it was a good plan and intended to play the vigilante and enforce the law, confiscate the firearms, and then repurpose them.

"But Brother Sun has around a hundred people under him," Yi Zetao cautiously probed, "Can the boss handle it?"

"Who's your boss?" Minamoto Tamako hadn't yet grasped the situation.

After all, she was a criminal police officer at the Nakagawara Police Station of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Japan, and wouldn't acknowledge leaders like street hoodlums.

Yi Zetao emphasized, referring to the 'female hero behind you who refuses to reveal her name,' and only then did Minamoto Tamako realize what was going on. She scanned her eyes over the three, whose expressions ranged from eagerness to wariness to unease, clearly showing their particular dread of the 'mysterious adult' behind Minamoto Tamako.

Thinking of this, Minamoto Tamako had a quick-thinking moment and said, "Didn't you just say you were ready to go through hell for this? Now's the time to prove your sincerity and skills... go get guns from Brother Sun as a pledge of allegiance. The boss will naturally accept you."

"Ah, me?" Ma Xiang pointed to his own nose.

Yi Zetao slapped the back of his head, saying, "Are you stupid? It won't be just the three of us, the boss will send others too... right?"

After speaking, the three instantly looked towards Minamoto Tamako with eager eyes.

"Of course," Minamoto Tamako confidently patted her chest and said, "I'll go with you."

Hearing this, the three exchanged glances, and Liu Daniu chuckled, telling Minamoto Tamako not to joke. Minamoto Tamako raised her gun again and retorted, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

The three quickly raised their hands, hastily pledging loyalty. Minamoto Tamako was very satisfied, feeling that this dreamlike power trip wasn't bad at all.

She swaggered with the gun barrel, pacing back and forth in front of the three, proclaiming them all guilty people, now giving Liu Daniu and the others a chance to atone for their sins. They should seize the opportunity, as the saying goes, a prodigal who returns is more valuable than gold; there's still time to repent.

Liu Daniu, upon listening, increasingly felt something was off, and Yi Zetao thought it odd as well. Before the two could think in detail, Ma Xiang was the first to kneel, repeatedly promising to seize the chance and definitely repent.

It's well known that people have a herd mentality; when Liu Daniu and Yi Zetao heard their companion gave in, they followed suit, muddled and consenting. It's just like a pyramid scheme session; with the first shill leading, others naturally get influenced by the enthusiasm.

Minamoto Tamako was very satisfied; she majestically ordered Yi Zetao to lead the way. This guy seemed the smartest out of the three, perhaps even capable enough to recruit as her strategist.

Yi Zetao was dumbfounded, unable to hold back, he asked, "Now?"

Minamoto Tamako nodded. She always preferred not to delay when working, urging, "There's no time to waste; the sooner we solve this, the sooner we can wrap things up."

"O... Okay then."

Yi Zetao had Brother Sun's contact details. He called to check and learned that Brother Sun was playing mahjong with his followers, so he led Minamoto Tamako and the others to the mahjong den.

The place was an underground gambling site located in a residential building, secured with both metal gates and bars. The chips used in the games could be exchanged for real money, and a single round could accumulate a stake of around a hundred thousand.

Liu Daniu was a regular, often trying his luck here. Occasionally, Yi Zetao and Ma Xiang would come along with their boss to relax. The lackeys guarding the site recognized the trio, so upon their arrival, they didn't question much and directly let them through, though they did ask when Minamoto Tamako entered, "Is this your kid?"

"Ah, yes... the boss's illegitimate daughter."

Yi Zetao reacted swiftly, casually gave Minamoto Tamako a cover identity. The latter immediately took on the role of Cao Tamako, having no objections since she knew she needed a false identity to blend in.

Upon entering, Minamoto Tamako was immediately hit by a cloud of smoke, almost making it hard to keep her eyes open. Following were the smells of sweat, betel nuts, and beer... all kinds of disgusting odors assaulted her sensitive sense of smell, making her feel like she was in hell.

Fortunately, Yi Zetao quickly led her into a private room, which had an exhaust fan, air-conditioning, and incense and a god of fortune placed by the window, making it a clearly better environment than outside with much fresher air.

Minamoto Tamako let out a sigh of relief and carefully observed the room.

Inside, there were two card tables, with eight people playing, two eating dinner on the side, and a lackey helping to serve tea and water, making a total of eleven people.

Brother Sun was sitting in the furthest corner of the card table, seriously feeling his cards with his fingers. Yi Zetao approached, respectfully offering him a cigarette, making small talk with Brother Sun.

"Eight ten-thousand!"

Brother Sun played a tile, glanced up at Yi Zetao, and asked, "I heard Old Cao died, what happened?"

"Ran into some trouble..."

Yi Zetao looked around the room, all the card players had their arms adorned with dragon and tiger tattoos. If they initiated a fight here, they'd likely face dire consequences.

As a result, he looked back at Minamoto Tamako, meaning perhaps they should just leave it, after all, three men and a child couldn't possibly control this number of people!
