Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 108: National Response

In the chaotic KTV, seeing that there was no hope for Uesugi Souji, several beautiful policewomen from the Public Relations Department turned their attention to Inspector Shiratori Sho from the Second Department.

Okada and Togazaki are both married, Uesugi Sosetsu is occupied by Watanabe Minami, so the only one left is Shiratori Sho.

Uesugi Sosetsu also noticed this scene, he smiled and didn't care.

According to Miss Minami, Inspector Shiratori is a professional, his family is wealthy and runs a business, and has a villa in Karuizawa. They are not old port tycoons like the Shimagawa family, but they are considered wealthy. Inspector Shiratori himself became a policeman because he does not like doing business.

Miss Minami said that Shiratori's family did not approve of it at first, but when they saw that Shiratori passed the senior civil service exam and became a professional group, they thought it was a good idea and expressed their support for their son's choice.

Based on his observations of the current police inspectors in the Investigation Division, Uesugi Sosetsu was left with some general impressions.

Inspector Kosaka of the first non-professional team is the most capable and has the hottest temper. He is also the most utilitarian and is very radical in his actions.

Inspector Shiratori of the second-series professional group usually keeps a low profile and never conducts any intense detective activities. He sticks to following procedures, which is a bit like "fighting a war with his own boss". It's not that he won't do it, but he won't risk his life to do it.

Inspector Kashiwagi from the third professional group is arrogant and proud, but he hates evil and has a strong sense of justice. Like Kosaka, he is very utilitarian, but Kosaka focuses on promotion, while Kashiwagi focuses on honor.

Higurashi from the thirteenth department is upright, responsible, and has a slight sense of humor. He is a very nice person.

As for Okada, Uesugi Sosetsu's feelings towards him are not good, but other than that, he has good abilities, is willing to be on the front line, has a sense of justice and responsibility, and is a good candidate.

Miss Minami was still immersed in the joy of “Wow, I can sing this song too” when she noticed that the scumbag Uesugi Souyuki was observing Inspector Shiratori who was surrounded below, and she took the initiative to tease him, “Are you envious?”

"What is there to be envious of?" Uesugi Sosetsu took a glance and said casually, "No one can compare to our Miss Minami, far from it!"

Watanabe Minami's pair of sweet almond-shaped eyes suddenly narrowed into crescents, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Of course she knew that she was invincible in terms of appearance, and of course she knew that none of the female police officers below could compare to her.

But knowing it was one thing, and hearing it from this man was another.

Uesugi Sosetsu's character is straightforward and honest, so the sweet words that come out of his mouth are very valuable.

It's a pity that this man doesn't say it more often.

Occasionally, Miss Minami couldn't stand it anymore and pinched him. Her tone became dangerous: "Then why are you still watching?"

Uesugi Souyuki was stunned, only to see Miss Minami smile and say, "Those are from the non-professional group. They have no prospects for promotion in the publicity department for their entire lives. After working for a few years, they either get married and resign or transfer to other clerical positions. The maximum they can get is a police lieutenant. There is a small chance that they will become a patrol captain, and a high chance that they will become a patrol sergeant for life."

If it weren't for me, Ikeda would probably have been a patrol chief for his entire life, right?
Um, Ikeda?

Having not seen the tall beauty for two weeks, Uesugi Sosetsu was a little uncomfortable. Although Miss Minami was with him, she was not with him in the same way as Ikeda.

Thinking of Ikeda's body, which was not as good-looking as his, but could be called a miracle, Uesugi Sosetsu's mind was full of thoughts of finding someone to connect with Princess So, in order to divert his attention, he smiled at Miss Minami and said, "Don't look at her, look at the woman in the pink dress with the floral skirt, and the shoes she's wearing."

"Oh! They're Valentino's ROCKSTUD patent leather lace-up rivet high heels, 12 centimeters." Miss Minami was annoyed by Uesugi Muneyuki and said with a little contempt, "Standard style, the price of a pair is about 15 to yen, which is enough for most of their monthly salary."

"Credit card, installment payment, the annual interest rate is 6% on the surface but it's actually as high as 13.2%." Miss Minami seemed to know a lot.

"I'm juggling multiple credit cards, and my salary isn't enough to pay the interest." Uesugi Sosetsu said with a smile.

As an insider of the Metropolitan Police Department, Miss Minami has a deeper understanding of the internal situation of the Metropolitan Police Department. She secretly told Uesugi Sosetsu that many female clerk police officers maintain a glamorous life on the surface, but in fact they are heavily in debt and work hard to pay off their credit card bills every month. They barely make ends meet in the hope of catching a good husband who can solve all their problems at once.

Japanese women are pioneers in East Asia in this regard. They believe that if their husbands have a lot of money, then that’s a lot. Their own money is not money, but an investment in themselves.

"I can't stand walking less than a hundred meters on the street barefoot without socks in those shoes." The eldest lady said angrily. She actually didn't like wearing such high shoes.

"Those kinds of shoes are not meant to be worn on the street." Uesugi Sosetsu said meaningfully.

Sure enough, this bad guy!

Miss Minami pouted, holding his hand with one hand and pinching his chin with the other hand: "I know you have bad intentions!"

"I am doing this in a rigorous academic research spirit, my dear Miss Minami." Uesugi Muneyuki said seriously, "I am a forensic doctor!"

"What's so good about this? Do you want to wear it yourself?" Miss Minami said this, her eyes lit up, and she looked expectant: "Good idea, I'll sign you up for a cross-dressing performance on the next Metropolitan Police Department show."

The corner of Uesugi Sosetsu's mouth twitched. It turned out that women all have a vicious heart, and they are no worse than men, but they hide it more deeply.

"I want to see you wear it." Uesugi Sosetsu could only make his words clearer.

Miss Minami's heart skipped a beat, she felt excited and amused: "If you behave like this again next time, I can consider it."

This man still likes me after all~
Miss Minami thought happily.

You don't want to wear it, right? Then I'll buy it for Ikeda and let her wear it for me to see.

The second young master Uesugi thought happily.

The two smiled at each other, both feeling that they had won.

…………

By the time they returned to their home in the Sakatabashi Tower, it was almost eleven o'clock. If Uesugi Sosetsu had not firmly refused to continue, the group could have partyed until the early morning.

Many people say that Japanese people never get full when they treat others to a meal, but this actually means that the other person is just having a routine meal with you.

If the Japanese are really serious about entertaining, it is not just one meal. It is usually a serious dinner. After dinner, there will be activities like karaoke, and after the activities, there will be a midnight snack, and after the midnight snack, there will be more activities, and after the activities, there will be another meal.

Uesugi Sosetsu didn't like it being so late, he told Togazaki Tomonobu that he was tired and wanted to rest. Considering his contribution in the Chiba Prefecture serial murder case, the Metropolitan Police Department also expressed understanding, so both sides ended with Togazaki Tomonobu singing "Spring in the North" and went home.

Before leaving, Togasaki Tomonobu secretly slipped a note to Uesugi Sosetsu, which contained the phone numbers of every female police officer who came to play today except Watanabe Minami.

As a result, she was discovered by Miss Minami, and Uesugi Sosetsu gave it to her without hesitation. Miss Minami tore it up on the spot and threw it into the trash can.

She actually doesn't care much about Uesugi Sosetsu's private life, but she can make arrangements. However, if other women in the Metropolitan Police Department dare to collude with Uesugi without her permission, that's not allowed!
When he returned home, Uesugi Sosetsu realized that he had not been home for almost two weeks. The mailbox at the door was filled with various newspapers. He remembered what Tanaka Laodeng said, that when he was young, he didn't go home for a whole month while chasing a criminal, and the property management thought he was dead. He thought that he was almost the same.

There was silence on the 18th floor of Sakata Bridge. The house had grown bigger and had more things, but it seemed lonely and cold. Uesugi Sosetsu weakly shouted "I'm back" and fell on the sofa with a smell of alcohol.

I turned on the TV and it was indeed the "Chiba Prefecture Serial Murder Case SP Special Program."

Several major TV stations held special programs around today's press conference. They invited a bunch of experts and scholars, and as if they had a tacit understanding, they discussed the case with different opinions.

The key point of NHK's discussion was raised by Uesugi Muneyuki, regarding the issue of careful consideration of sentencing. NHK was therefore divided into two views. The affirmative side believed that the current law should continue to be enforced, while the negative side believed that this kind of antisocial personality would continue to commit crimes, and the circumstances were too serious, so special sentences should be given.

The key point of NTV's discussion is the reflection of this incident on Japan's existing education system, and its continuous coverage of the subsequent impact on Chiba Prefecture always feels a bit like gloating.

Fuji TV has the least bottom line. This group of people are opening the box and racking their brains to infer the true identity of the murderer "Girl C" through legal means. They focus on the murderer's mental illness problems and suspect that the police may have just encountered a suspect with mental illness who voluntarily admitted it, so they chose her.

Asahi TV focused on the revitalization of the Metropolitan Police Department. After the Fuji TV case and this case, the Metropolitan Police Department successfully reversed its image. From this perspective, Asahi TV explored the personnel changes in the Metropolitan Police Department over this period of time, especially marking the Chief of Police Watanabe Eiji, Inspector Kashiwagi Hitoshi of the Third Department, and Forensic Department Consultant Uesugi Sosetsu, but gave less description of the case.

TBS focused on the process of solving the case and the struggle between the criminal faction and the public security faction. It sorted out the entire process of the incident from the beginning and completely restored the logical chain from the occurrence of the case to the solving of the case based on Uesugi Sosetsu's description. The program was very detailed and the effect was very good. A large picture was also specially made to explain which people involved in the case were from the criminal faction and which were from the public security faction.

The criminal faction is "red" and the public security faction is "black", so this program is called "The War between Red and Black".

Tokyo TV is currently broadcasting the Ultraman compilation, in which the invincible Ultraman Zoffy with fire on his head is fighting the volcano bird monster Barton.

[Wow, that would be great. If one day, several major TV stations make special programs for me, I would have no regrets even if I die.] Hironaka Mariko suddenly realized: [Oh, yes, I'm already dead, and the TV stations are making special programs for me.]

[Great, it’s a special program, I’m saved! ]

Uesugi Sosetsu was too lazy to pay attention to her.

[By the way, Uesugi, there have been new messages on your phone screen since a while ago. Is that okay? ] Hironaka Mariko continued.

"Huh?!" Uesugi Sosetsu then took out his cell phone.

He broke out in a cold sweat as soon as he saw the screen.

Damn! I was too busy today and didn’t check my phone!

Reina Erina, 99+.

I clicked it tremblingly.

"Uesugi-kun!"

"Great, you finally have news. Professor Okochi said you were on a business trip."

"You kept saying you were busy and you didn't reply to messages until the evening."

"What exactly happened in this case? Can we talk about it in detail sometime?"
