Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 60 The Past of Torataro Taniguchi
  Torataro Taniguchi was in a happy mood during this week. Even when he slept, he always smiled and dreamed.

Fujiwara Masato only paid attention to the reaction of the Tokyo police and dismissed the existence of the Maple Leaf Club because he felt that these guys were just meat on the chopping board. He could chop them whenever he wanted with a knife and there was no need to pay too much attention to them.

But Taniguchi Torataro was different. He deeply hated this organization and was hostile to this brutal violent group.

Violent gangs have penetrated into all aspects of Japanese society. This is not an exaggerated adjective, but a true descriptor.

When Torataro Taniguchi was in elementary school, he was ridiculed by other classmates because of his horizontal growth, and they were unwilling to make friends with the dark, short and fat man.

What should I do if I can’t make friends?
  Some people choose to accept it silently and become a withdrawn and unsociable child.

Torataro Taniguchi, who has a stubborn character and refuses to admit defeat, chose another path. Faced with the ridicule of others, he chose to fight back with his fists.

Are you talking bad about me?
  Then I'll beat you up!
  Although Torataro Taniguchi's approach was very rough, it also brought a lot of trouble to his parents. Parents of children often came to hold him accountable.

However, after Torataro Taniguchi chose to take action, no one dared to laugh at him to his face, and he also made some friends.

Some people who feared and admired his force.

Since then, Torataro Taniguchi has become a bad student and a gangster in the eyes of other classmates. Even though he did well in school, it failed to change other people's impressions.

Who makes Torataro Taniguchi’s appearance so bad?

From elementary school, middle school, to high school, Taniguchi Torataro was like this. On one side, he led a few men and women to run rampant in the school. On the other hand, his academic performance was not bad, and he was often among the best in the class. This made the teacher treat him again. Love and hate.

Ai Taniguchi Torataro's grades are very good, and he hates him for beating his classmates without mercy. He beats him in front of his face when he says bad things.

Although it is not good to hit someone, Torataro Taniguchi did this and he has never been bullied until now. His student career is going smoothly and he has a girlfriend.

Although she is a female gangster who admires his martial arts and is not a good girl, it also made Tora Taniguchi not a virgin in junior high school.

Torataro Taniguchi, who still maintained his consistent style in high school, was spotted by the Maple Leaf Club in his first year of high school, and they always thought he was a good talent for a mixed gang.

Being able to play means that he has good physical fitness and excellent academic performance, but he is not ranked in the top ten in his grade. It means that he is smart, but not smart enough, and he also has the dignity of "I am not a good person".

Such talents cannot go to a top-notch university, but they can thrive in violent gangs and lead everyone to make money.

It would be a shame not to join the Maple Leaf Club.

Although gangsters are not popular in the eyes of violent gangs, delinquents who are still in school are indeed an important blood-supplementing group for violent gangs.

Including the Yamaguchi-gumi, the largest designated violent group in Japan, its internal "Fool Company" faction (a group of delinquent teenagers) is also an important part of the violent group.

The Foolish Company is not only the "recruit camp" of the violent group. Sometimes when there is a need to kill people, the big boss will divide the task among them, and the small boss will select a few young delinquents to perform the task.

The delinquents are young and full of passion. You only need to say a few nice words to them and draw a pie that can be seen but cannot be touched, and they will scream and charge upward with a knife.

Even if they kill someone, the law will punish them leniently because of their age. If the violent group has some conscience and hires a lawyer for them, they may not even need to go to jail.

Unfortunately, violent groups often have no conscience.

Because "young people are deceived and deceived by bad people in society", certain bad phenomena occur repeatedly. The Japanese police attach great importance to such social phenomena and adopt verbal and physical education for bad boy groups in high schools to maintain the peace of the school.

How is the effect?
  The effect is remarkable, most of the bad situations have been improved, and the number of bad groups in high schools has shrunk. Only certain groups have good relationships with high-level government officials and congressmen, and it is difficult for the police to attack them, so that they can still operate secretly.

Torataro Taniguchi was attracted by people from the Maple Leaf Club, and soon the latter found an opportunity to contact the former.

At first, Torataro Taniguchi was scornful of those who came into contact with him, because he studied well and had a good family environment. Even if he could not get into a first-rate university and went to a second-rate university, he could still do well in society.

There is no need to join a violent gang.

However, a person who can become a "recruiting officer" of the Maple Leaf Society at a young age in high school and before leaving school, how can he do it without two brushes?
  If Tora Taniguchi is not willing, then create "opportunities" for him to make him willing.

For example, after school, when Torataro Taniguchi and several of his younger brothers went to the arcade to play games, they unfortunately provoked some gangsters and received a severe beating.

This "recruiting officer" classmate "accidentally" passed by and used the name of the Maple Leaf Club to stop the beating. He also scared the gangsters to kneel down and beg for mercy from Taniguchi Torataro.

This kind of routine is obvious, but it is very effective when used to deal with a high school student who is not experienced in the world like Taniguchi Torataro. It successfully scares him into a daze. Under the factors of passion and gratitude, he bows to him as soon as his head is hot. That senior is the eldest brother.

In this way, Torataro Taniguchi successfully joined the Maple Leaf Club and became a member of the violent group "Foolish Company".

When he was in his second year of high school, after the former recruiting officer graduated from high school and officially became a member of the Maple Leaf Club, Torataro Taniguchi naturally took over the position of "recruiting officer" and became the spokesperson of the Maple Leaf Club in high schools.

Torataro Taniguchi was more capable than his previous recruiting officer. In just one year, he recruited more than twenty "aspiring young men" who wanted to join a violent gang.

So much so that in his senior year of high school, before Tora Taniguchi graduated and officially became a member of the Maple Leaf Club, he was qualified to get a tattoo on his back.

In Japanese gangs, tattoos are a very important symbol. There are regulations on what tattoos you can get. The size of the gang you belong to, your status in the gang, and what you have done will all be reflected on the tattoo. .

Xia Ji's eight chaotic patterns, is that okay?
  Yes, but you have to be prepared for cold violence from ordinary people and hot violence from members of violent gangs.

Torataro Taniguchi has obtained the tattoo qualification before graduating. His future in the Maple Leaf Club seems to be very bright.

Until Taniguchi Torataro's father found out that his son had joined a violent group.

The traditional Taniguchi Hiroto could not accept such a thing, and he had a family conflict with Taniguchi Torataro. Although he loved beating people, the latter, who had received traditional education since childhood, still respected his father.

Therefore, after the conflict, Torataro Taniguchi chose to reconcile with his father, went to his eldest brother, and told him that he was quitting the Maple Leaf Club.

In Japan, it is easy to join a violent gang as long as you dare to fight and kill, but it is not easy to quit.

If Torataro Taniguchi didn't have the tattoo, it would be very easy for him to quit, just take a knife and cut off his little finger. But after he got the tattoo, you said you didn't want to do it anymore?
  Ha ha.

"Let's do this. You go and do something for the gang. Once you're done, I'll apply for withdrawal from the gang." This good brother said to Torataro Taniguchi.

"There is a traitor who betrayed the gang. Go and kill him. This is his address."

Killing is a very serious matter in the overall peaceful Japanese society. However, it is not known whether it is a natural bloodthirsty or an outlaw. Torataro Taniguchi deserves to have tiger in his name, and he is very tigerish. He agreed immediately.

Then that night, Torataro Taniguchi broke into the traitor's house with a machete and hacked him to death on the bed.

In order to eliminate the evidence of the crime, Taniguchi Torataro did not forget to set a fire on the house when he left, regardless of the fact that it was a low-rent house with many people renting it. When his fire goes down, the destruction of corpses and traces may not be completely successful, but it is very likely that many other tenants will be burned to death. Even if no one is killed, their fixed assets will be destroyed.

After doing all this, Taniguchi Torataro did not forget to throw the machete and bloody clothes into the river, and then returned home to sleep.

Early the next morning, his home was broken into by the police, and Torataro Taniguchi was arrested in confusion.

What's going on? How could the police find me?
  Yes, according to the general procedure, the Tokyo police will not find Torataro Taniguchi so quickly, and it is even possible that they will not file a case. However, there is an exception in this matter. Someone called the police and pointed out that Torataro Taniguchi was the murderer.

In the police station, the interrogated Tora Taniguchi learned that the person he hacked to death was not a member of a violent gang, but an ordinary person who opened a convenience store.

Torataro Taniguchi said nothing. He did not say that his elder brother ordered him to kill people. Although the evidence in the hands of the police was conclusive, and there was a video of him holding a blood-stained machete, he refused to admit that he had killed anyone.

Outside, Hirohito Taniguchi spent a lot of money to hire a lawyer to litigate his son's case. Although Torataro Taniguchi's evidence was not cleared, the police found his discarded machete and bloody clothes, and obtained Torataro Taniguchi's fingerprints and the DNA of the deceased on the machete. .

However, this kind of behavior is indeed very useful. Under the defense of "money", Torataro Taniguchi, who was over 18 years old, did not need to go to jail. He went to the juvenile prison for a year.

Then Hiroto Taniguchi found a way to apply for a "mental illness" certificate for his son. Torataro Taniguchi went home. He only needed to register somewhere every once in a while to prove that he was mentally stable, and there was nothing else. Something happened.

Legal punishment?
  Ah, I have already been punished. I have been in that juvenile prison for a year. How can I say that I have not been punished?

In short, after being "beaten" by reality, Taniguchi Torataro matured a lot. After being "in jail" for a year, he could no longer continue his studies and could only follow his father in business.

As for the elder brother who sent him to jail, he died long ago when Torataro Taniguchi was in jail.

He died in a gang fight. A member of a rival gang rushed over and stabbed him to death. His death was sudden and natural. No one doubted that his death had anything to do with Hiroto Taniguchi.

The enemy was gone, and Torataro Taniguchi matured. He began to live a down-to-earth life. When he was thirty-five years old, Hiroto Taniguchi passed away due to fatigue and illness, and Torataro Taniguchi officially took over the latter's business.

An auto repair shop with a stable business.

At this time, Taniguchi Torataro had also married a wife and had a lovely, infant child.

With a wife, a son, and an industry, Taniguchi Torataro, who looks like a wild boar, is happier than most Japanese people. In order to make the family property that his son can inherit more abundant, Taniguchi Torataro began to expand his business.

Torataro Taniguchi took his wife to China for a trip. From his observations, he discovered that China had a business that was rare and expensive in Japan, so he imitated it in Tokyo and recruited people to start new businesses.

What business?
  Mobile car repair.

The general process of Taniguchi Torataro's plan is to purchase more than 20 vans, equipped with one or two repairmen and related equipment, and go to other areas of Tokyo on standby during the day.

Once someone calls Taniguchi Auto Repair, these mobile repair stations will be dispatched, appear in front of the customer within half an hour, and then start repairing the car.

Regardless of whether the plan can be successful, at least the investment is not large. He owns a car repair shop, and Taniguchi Torataro naturally has his own channels to buy cheap second-hand vans.

Unfortunately, this plan had just begun. When twenty vans were purchased and started to be modified, Torataro Taniguchi's plan was leaked, and people from the Maple Leaf Club came to visit.

The reasons and requirements for Maple Leaf coming to visit are also very simple.

"Toro Taniguchi, you joined our Maple Leaf Club when you were in high school. So far, you still have our tattoo on your back and have not withdrawn from the membership.

Now the gang needs your contribution, your mobile car repair plan will be useful to us..."

What is the use?

Flour can be transported secretly to other areas of Tokyo without being suspected or intercepted by the police.

What is the most important thing?
  Even if he was accidentally discovered by the police, the Maple Leaf Club would not be able to get rid of the matter. It was Torataro Taniguchi who went to jail.

Of course, Taniguchi Torataro was dissatisfied with this kind of thing that had few benefits and a lot of disadvantages.

The Maple Leaf Club had also long expected that Tora Taniguchi would disagree, so at the same time as they came to the door, Keisuke Gobayashi sent people to arrest Tora Taniguchi's wife and son who were out shopping.

Then, something unfortunate happened. Keisuke Gobayashi's people did not successfully capture Torataro Taniguchi's wife.

When the latter left the supermarket after shopping, he noticed that the two people in front of him and the van on the roadside were suspicious. He immediately threw away the things in his hands and ran away with his child in his arms.

The people from the Maple Leaf Club immediately gave chase, and while the two were chasing each other, when Torataro Taniguchi's wife took the risk to cross the road, a large truck roared past. Seeing someone in front of the car, the driver was shocked and subconsciously stepped on the truck. Brake, turn the steering wheel.

Under the action of huge centrifugal force, the truck loaded with goods rolled over, pinning Torataro Taniguchi's wife and son, as well as the two Maple Leaf Club thugs who were chasing them, under the vehicle.

After the death of his wife and son, Torataro Taniguchi was extremely sad and had no intention of continuing to maintain his business. He not only stopped the mobile car repair plan that had not yet started, but also stopped the business of the auto repair shop, and then sold it in exchange for a sum of cash. , ready for revenge.

And what is the Maple Leaf Club’s response to this?
  "Two of you died, and two of us died. This matter ends here. You will have nothing to do with the Maple Leaf Society in the future."

The Maple Leaf Club really thinks so. Of course, they also plan to plan another "little gangster robbery" trick after a while, after others have forgotten about it, to reunite Torataro Taniguchi with his wife, children and family.

After all, keeping a rich enemy alive is a hidden danger.

In fact, it is really not good for the Maple Leaf Club that Torataro Taniguchi is alive. The former is always thinking about how to destroy the entire Maple Leaf Club.

And how much money Torataro Taniguchi, who sold his own car repair shop, now has to invest in revenge, is a secret that only he knows.

As for why Taniguchi Torataro told Huang Mao that he only had two million yen.

He is just talking. This is just a means of negotiation. If you really believe the complaints of a middle-aged man who has been in the big society for many years and has achieved some success, then you can only say "too naive." ".

Masato Fujiwara was so naive that he really believed Torataro Taniguchi's words, and then took advantage of the situation and asked for a house in Bunkyo District from the latter, unintentionally turning the veteran into an army.

Under the circumstances at that time, could Torataro Taniguchi say no?

No.

He could only be a mute eating Coptis chinensis, unable to express his sufferings, thinking that this was the poker organization beating him up, and thinking that he was unlucky, he gave Huang Mao the key to a three-story villa in Wenjing District worth an unknown amount of money.

Now, a week later, Taniguchi Torataro received the notice.

"Come to XX location, have a party at seven o'clock in the evening."
