Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 104, broadcast nationwide!
“Regarding the two suspicious points left by the Metropolitan Police Department in the documents.”

On the way back, in the black luxury Toyota sedan, Prosecutor Kamiya briefly glanced through the documents. He was already confident about this prosecution.

In fact, it was already a public prosecution with no difficulty. The confession, physical evidence, and murder weapon were all there. It was obviously a very smooth case.

The Japanese Prosecutors Office has a 99% success rate in prosecutions. These prosecutors enjoy considerable privileges within the Japanese system, especially the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Team, which is overbearing and domineering.

In the car, Prosecutor Kamiya looked through the documents compiled by the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division 1 again, and instructed his subordinates: "First, regarding the doubts about the handwriting, go back to Tokyo and arrange for a forensic expert to examine the notes. Ask him to change the forensic judgment and say that the handwriting is completely consistent with the diary, and it was written by Yasue Nishijo himself."

"Yes." The subordinate replied.

"Then, remember this. When you get back, ask the murderer again and change the 'he' she mentioned when she was ill to someone she imagined." Prosecutor Kambayashi continued, "Give a heads-up to the Metropolitan Police Department. They should also want to close the case like this."

"Yes." If it is believed that there is a mastermind or accomplice behind the scenes when the case is sent to prosecutors, it will be difficult to close the case. However, whether it is the District Prosecutors Office, the Metropolitan Police Department or the Cabinet Secretariat, they all hope to close the case quickly. On this point, everyone's interests are the same.

"Tsk, why is it so troublesome?" Prosecutor Lin Yanzhen, who was sitting in the front, said impatiently: "Also, did we let that little monk go again this time?"

Prosecutor Shenlin felt helpless after hearing this.

The Korean prosecutor meant that if it were in South Korea, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

In some countries, a system of integrated prosecution and police is implemented, where prosecutors lead the police in handling cases.

In other countries with maritime laws, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, the separation of prosecutors and police is implemented. Cases and investigations are handled by the police, and prosecutors intervene in cases relatively late. The procuratorate and the criminal police team are independent of each other, and there is no leadership and follower relationship. The procuratorate basically does not participate in the investigation and is only responsible for approving arrests and prosecutions after the case is solved.

Japan is quite special. It has a mixed system of prosecutors and police. The procuratorate and the criminal police team are independent of each other. There is no leadership and follower relationship and both can participate in handling cases. The status of prosecutors is just slightly higher than that of police. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors' Chief Prosecutor is at the same level as the Superintendent General, and the Chief of the Supreme Public Prosecutors' Office of Japan is also at the same level as the Commissioner of the National Police Agency. Superintendent General Watanabe Eiji may be slightly weaker than the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors' Chief, but the levels of both sides are equal and there is no hierarchical relationship.

South Korea adopts the first system. The Commissioner of the National Police Agency is only qualified to carry the shoes and bag of the Prosecutor General. In addition, the South Korean system is a criminal case decision-making system of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. The Prosecutor General has the greatest procuratorial power in the world, even including the dictatorial power over whether to initiate an investigation and whether to close a case. Not only is the Commissioner of the National Police Agency a whole realm lower than the Prosecutor General, but the actual power is also far behind.

For example, the South Korean President only has the "right to make recommendations" on cases being investigated by the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, and the superiors of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office only have the "right to make recommendations" on cases that their subordinates are responsible for.

In other words, once a case is assigned to a prosecutor, the prosecutor's power is unlimited, from investigation to arrest and prosecution to trial.

In South Korea, prosecutors have the final say on whether to file a case, how to file a case, whether to investigate, how to investigate, whether to arrest people, how to arrest them, whether to prosecute, who to prosecute, whether to sentence, and generally how to sentence.

Although the Japanese police are also mixed, there are a lot of losers, but there are still some senior civil servants and elite bureaucrats in places like the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Osaka Headquarters. As for South Korea, if an analogy is needed for the status gap between the police and prosecutors, it would be like the fawning inspector who was responsible for delivering green tea and yakitori in the smoking room and the professional uncles in the first investigation section of the headquarters.

"The police obviously meant not to touch Uesugi." Prosecutor Shenlin said, "Forget it, this time it was indeed his hard power."

"Public Security, the Public Security again?" Prosecutor Lin shook his head angrily.

"…………After all, we are still a step too late." Prosecutor Shen Lin also shook his head helplessly and cast his eyes out the window: "This time, the Metropolitan Police Department got there first. This guy is amazing. Looking at the documents, how did he determine that the murderer was actually a JK?"

"F**K, if we knew he was so strong, we should have brought him into our District Attorney's Special Investigation Team earlier."

"what?!"

…………

Similarly, after the matter in Chiba Prefecture was concluded, Uesugi Sosetsu also returned to Tokyo in Inspector Okada's car.

The big case was finally solved. Inspector Okada was in an extremely happy mood. He hummed a song and intended to chat with Uesugi Sosetsu, but found that Uesugi Sosetsu was always thinking about something.

"Mr. Uesugi, what are you thinking about?" Inspector Okada decided to take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Uesugi Sosetsu is different from the traditional Japanese people who are socially phobic. He seems to be more casual. Many Japanese people hate being approached by others, but Uesugi Sosetsu can chat with anyone casually. However, the price is that he speaks directly and bluntly.

Is the "he" that Yasue Saijo mentioned a figment of his imagination or does he really exist?
Uesugi Munen knew he would not get an answer. The person had been sent for inspection, and he had asked all the questions he needed to ask twice. Thinking that the case was finally closed, a smile appeared on Uesugi Munen's face. "I'm wondering what to do when I get back? Okada-san, are you going to treat me to a meal?"

"Then you should let Ms. Watanabe treat you." Okada Masayoshi estimated how much subsidy he could get from this business trip. When he heard that he had to treat her, he immediately made a bitter face and said, "I really don't have any money."

This topic was immediately dead.

"By the way, is Inspector Kashiwagi doing okay?" Uesugi Sosetsu also decisively changed the subject.

"It's a bit troublesome. Although there is a video to prove that it was self-defense, Kashiwagi still hit someone. Maybe I have to use my connections to ask the local prosecutors not to prosecute." Finally, it came to Okada's favorite topic. He said indignantly: "The police could have negotiated a compromise! In the end, hmph, the police are the police!"

The first two of the three problems raised by the local procuratorate were decisively resolved by the public security department. As a result, when it came to the third problem, the criminal faction originally thought that since our two sides were working closely together to solve the case, the public security department should at least owe us a favor and give us a hand.

As it turned out, the criminal faction was overthinking.

The job was done, and the public security officers didn't care about the lives of these detectives. Superintendent Ichijo said hello to Uesugi Souji and planned to leave.

A fierce quarrel broke out between the two sides and finally parted on bad terms.

The case was solved, and the hatred between the criminal faction and the public security faction deepened again. "Oh yes, Uesugi-san, Director Watanabe said that the Metropolitan Police Department will hold a nationally broadcast press conference tomorrow to announce the results of the case. You must attend." Inspector Okada continued with the next topic.

"Oh? Won't I be out of shape tomorrow?" Uesugi Muneyuki raised his eyebrows: "I remember that I was out of shape last time in the Fuji TV case."

"Haha." Inspector Okada smiled awkwardly, thinking that he was just afraid that you would say something wrong: "Anyway, this will also be counted as official business."

Uesugi Sosetsu naturally had no objection, but Inspector Okada looked worried.

This major case mobilized more than a thousand police officers, with more than 11,000 police officer calls. It attracted national attention at home and abroad, and was solved in just over a week. It can be said to be a complete victory. Combined with the previous Fuji TV case, it is no exaggeration to say that it restored the glory of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Afterwards, rewards will naturally be given according to merit.

Regardless of Uesugi Sosetsu, he definitely made the greatest contribution, but there is endless debate within the police force as to which faction made the greatest overall contribution.

The criminal faction thinks that they are the ones who saved the honor of the Japanese police. If we hadn't finally gotten the chance to intervene and let your public security department continue investigating, the honor of the Metropolitan Police Department would have been ruined long ago!
The attitude of the public security faction is that if we had not provided special regulations to support it, all the evidence, confessions and arrest operations in your criminal cases would have been illegal and would have been sent to Hawaii, like Uesugi Sosetsu's search method of shooting arrows first and then drawing targets. Of course, we have made the greatest contribution.

Both sides were arguing over who would make the report and neither side would give an inch on this point.

In the end, they couldn't argue any further, but they couldn't give the credit to the district prosecutor, so both sides had to compromise - let Uesugi Sosetsu report in person, and the criminal faction and the public security faction each sent one person to sit next to him.

I hope this guy doesn't say anything weird!

Inspector Okada even wanted to use this merit to get transferred to the First Investigation Division. The position of the Superintendent General's special operator was originally overused, and taking advantage of this meritorious service, he could be transferred to a formal criminal police officer.

Tokyo is not far from Chiba Prefecture, and Inspector Okada quickly drove Uesugi Sosetsu back to the Metropolitan Police Department. They were greeted by Miss Minami, who was wearing a police uniform skirt, and Metropolitan Police Chief Eiji Watanabe himself.

Just as Inspector Okada said, that evening the Superintendent General Watanabe Eiji personally invited them to a simple meal. At the dinner table, Miss Minami gave Uesugi Sosetsu many instructions on what to say at the press conference, and they only considered it okay after they went through the lines once.

It's not time to celebrate yet.

Everything was ready. That evening, the head of the Public Information Division of the General Affairs Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, Inspector Tomonobu Togazaki, proudly announced to all the media outside in front of the camera that the Chiba Prefecture serial murder case had been officially solved!

This news instantly exploded throughout Japan! On that day, NHK and the five major TV stations all temporarily interrupted their broadcasts and instead broadcast the news that the Metropolitan Police Department had solved the case.

Afterwards, the Metropolitan Police Department announced that it would hold a press conference tomorrow to explain in detail the circumstances and process of solving the Chiba Prefecture murder case, as well as all the threads of the entire case!
This move was recognized by almost all citizens.

The Japanese police actually stood up!

Eight million gods and Buddhas! Since the bubble economy burst, the quality and ability of the Japanese police have declined drastically. I didn’t expect that after all these years, they have finally stood up again!
The Japanese people have long been accustomed to the incompetence of local police, but this time it took less than ten days from the formal intervention of the Metropolitan Police Department to the successful resolution of the case. The performance of the Metropolitan Police Department in the Fujidai case and the Chiba Prefecture serial murder case can be said to have impressed the people.

It’s not easy. Is there a day when you don’t waste the national tax money?

For a moment, the attention of the whole of Japan was focused on tomorrow's official press conference of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Naturally, Inspector General Erina Ikeda of the Criminal Division of the Otsuka Police Station in Tokyo's Bunkyo Ward District Police Station also paid special attention to this matter.

She was bored during these two weeks. Very, very, very bored.

After the last Fujitai case, the police's attitude towards Ikeda Erena has changed slightly. At least they know that she is not just sick but has real talent. Many judo masters in the police admit that Erena's technical level is close to or even reaches the level of the national team.

This earned Erina some respect in the police station.

But what's the use? The Criminal Division is still the same. They don't call her when they go out on patrol, they don't see her in daily life, and they don't mention her when they talk. She is like an isolated island. Every day, she hears Tanaka Lao Deng praying that there must be no trouble when Uesugi is not around.

Oh yes, Uesugi Sosetsu went on a business trip. This was what Professor Okouchi told her when she went to Tokyo Medical and Dental University one day to look for Uesugi Sosetsu as usual but found that he did not come to work. He said that Uesugi Sosetsu was on a temporary business trip for a few days, but did not say what it was (confidentiality obligation).

I haven't seen him for two weeks!
Ikeda Erena curled up in her rental house with empty eyes, like a soulless shell.

I haven't seen him for two whole weeks!

The tall beauty wrapped herself in the quilt, holding her cell phone tightly with both hands, and checked every half a minute to see if Uesugi Sosetsu had replied.

She wanted to see him very much, very badly, to the point of being crazy.

Fingers are typing, and the messages in the chat box are almost all one-way.

At this time, the Metropolitan Police Department's press conference on the Chiba Prefecture serial murder case was officially held. When Erina saw that Uesugi Sosetsu did not respond, she put down her phone. With a strong sense of justice, she was naturally interested in this major case. If she didn't have to go to work, she would have to go to Chiba to see the scene.

However, when she saw the familiar figure sitting in front of the camera, Erina was stunned.

"Hey?!"
