Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 109, Erina, resurrected with full health!

Uesugi Sosetsu was lying on the sofa. The moment he clicked on the message, his phone froze for a moment as expected, then started to scroll rapidly with a beeping sound, so fast that he could not see clearly.

What space elevator? Uesugi Sosetsu felt a chill as he looked at the words rolling upwards madly.

He received a sudden message that he had to join the joint investigation headquarters, and then began to work day and night. Although he had intermittent contact with Erina, because the front line was very busy and he could not let the secret leak, he mostly responded with only a few words.

This meant that Erina was unable to obtain any more information except knowing that he was involved in the recent joint investigation of the Chiba Prefecture serial murder case.

Erina also repeatedly asked us, "Aren't we partners? Why don't you let me participate?"

Uesugi Munesetsu had no idea about this. He did make a suggestion, but Miss Minami disagreed. At that time, he had little influence in the Metropolitan Police Department. Even if he was appointed as a field consultant with the power to make suggestions, people like Minister Mori would trust him more. However, interfering with personnel power was too much, at least too much for Uesugi Munesetsu now.

Definitely next time.

This is the only thing Uesugi Sosetsu could say to Erina.

But actually, it may not happen next time if Miss Minami disagrees.

Thinking of Miss Minami, Uesugi Sosetsu smiled slightly and shook his head repeatedly, thinking that the dominance among the partners was still in the hands of Miss Minami.

But that’s fine too.

Watching the "Red Side" and the "Black Side" in TBS, Uesugi Sosetsu also knew very well that in addition to the terrible incidents on the surface of the Chiba Prefecture serial murder case, the struggle between the criminal faction and the public security faction under the surface was also very fierce.

Miss Minami just sent a message, saying meaningfully that the secretary of the Chief of Security had voluntarily resigned.

This father and daughter took advantage of me. The results of my hard work in solving the case were used by them for this purpose.

However, the father and daughter also created a "safe house" for themselves. They solved all the troublesome factional struggles, interpersonal relationships and resource allocation. They only needed to perform the autopsy, make inferences, come up with results and tell the police the direction to search.

Even the public security department will not hold a grudge against him and will rather owe him a favor.

They will remember his contributions, they will ensure his treatment, and if Uesugi Sosetsu occasionally makes outrageous remarks or acts beyond the rules, they will also find ways to make arrangements.

Isn’t this good?

If it weren't for Miss Minami's firm support, Uesugi Sosetsu might not have been able to convince Minister Mori, and it would have taken an unknown amount of time to find out who committed the crime.

Uesugi solved the case and Watanabe had his fill.

Of course, Miss Minami is full, but there is still a female Tyrannosaurus waiting for her to deal with!
After looking at Erina's space elevator from top to bottom, Uesugi Souyuki sobered up from the alcohol, awakened by the shock.

After thinking about it, Uesugi Sosetsu decided to be more direct.

He has always been honest and outspoken.

In Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, in a cheap single apartment, the room was completely dark. Through the faint starlight coming through the window, one could vaguely see the mess inside the room.

Clothes and daily necessities were scattered on the ground. On the small round table were freshly eaten food and crumpled papers. There was a bulge in the bedding on the ground, as if everyone was hiding under the quilt.

The TV was on, with faint sound playing.

"Regarding Uesugi Muneyuki's opinion at the press conference, we can only use one sentence to describe it, that is, legal illiteracy. This person studied medicine to the point of being a dog's stomach. Since when can a forensic doctor make suggestions on sentencing?" NHK's affirmative debater was very dissatisfied with Uesugi Muneyuki's proposal of "cautious sentencing": "When did he pass the judicial examination?"

"The public has suffered from these juvenile offenders for a long time. If they can really reform themselves, then why do we keep lowering the minimum criminal age from 20 to 14? According to Uesugi-san, the criminals showed no remorse and talked about the details of the crime process, which made the police officers at the scene feel sick. If they don't get enough punishment, wouldn't it be tantamount to encouraging other copycat crimes?"

The debate on TV continued, but the person in the bed did not react at all.

She hadn't seen Uesugi Sosetsu for two weeks.

Without him by her side, Erina felt as if she had lost her soul and had no energy at all.

Although she still went to work as usual and her work at the Otsuka Police Station continued, Erina still became uncontrollably depressed and decadent.

After finally waiting for the news that the big case was solved, Erena couldn't wait to ask Uesugi Sosetsu when he would be back, but Uesugi Sosetsu did not respond.

What's going on?
Erina was so anxious that she was going crazy.

Am I going to be abandoned?
Inside the room, there was an argument on TV, and inside the bed, there was a rapid ringing of a bell.

Hearing the ringing tone, Erina was stunned. She stretched out her goose yellow arms and fumbled clumsily in the quilt to find the source of the ringing tone.

bang~
Erina accidentally dropped the remote control, but she didn't care at all. She fumbled for a while before she got her mobile phone.

In the dark bed, Ikeda Erena's light brown eyes were only dim, as dim as the situation in the room. Her miraculously magnificent, devilish waistline and abdominal muscles under the quilt were still smooth and upright, but the pride and heroism between her eyebrows had been buried by the panic and haggardness that could not be concealed, and there were even dark circles under her eyes.

Who is it?

Ikeda Erina grabbed the phone, her eyes focused, and suddenly a bright light burst out!

Incoming call - Uesugi Munesetsu (Special Attention)

She threw back the quilt, not caring about the cold weather in late November. Her movement was so big that the remote control, which had already flown out, was thrown back into the air again, hitting the clothes hanger in the corner of the room with a bang.

She instinctively answered the call immediately.

But suddenly, Ikeda Erena stopped talking, her proud and heroic eyes were shining, and a bit of anger and shame flashed across her face. If I answer your call, wouldn't that be too embarrassing for me?

So she let the phone ring three times, and then answered it impatiently for fear that Uesugi Sosetsu would hang up.

"Hello?" The familiar voice of Uesugi Sosetsu came from the phone.

When Erina heard his voice, she couldn't help wanting to cry. She calmed herself down and said calmly, "Is it over?"

"It's over." Uesugi Sosetsu's voice was a little tired: "I'm sorry, Master Erina, I've been a little tired recently. After the press conference, I was dragged to the celebration party to drink. I didn't see your message until now."

"Ah!" Ikeda Erina blushed in shame when she thought of what she had said before, and quickly said, "You read it all?"

"Yes, I've seen them all." Uesugi Sosetsu's tone was very playful: "Do you really want to meet me? Partner? My desire to solve the case is the same as yours. I hope you can understand my feelings?"

“Ahhhhh! Don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it!” Ikeda Erina screamed in panic, but then she realized that she was in the apartment and would disturb others, so she quickly knelt down and pulled the quilt to wrap herself tightly, curling herself into a ball, her cheeks burning as she cursed in a low voice: “If you dare to tell anyone, you’ll be dead!”

Uesugi Sosetsu could guess Erina's reaction even through the phone, and a smug look appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, then I won't tell you."

He always takes care of himself like this. Erina calmed down a little in the quilt.

Neither of them spoke for a while.

However, the faint breathing sound of Uesugi Soyuki on the opposite side still reached Erina's ears through the mobile phone.

Even though she could only hear the sound of breathing, Erina felt that her withered heart was coming back to life, and her empty soul was gradually enriched and filled again.

She is complete.

The silence lasted for a long time, and then Uesugi Sosetsu said, "It's been two weeks, Master Erina, I missed you."

boom!
The tall beauty felt dizzy and the world was spinning. Uesugi Sosetsu's words were like a fatal blow. In an instant, the pain and dissatisfaction of the past two weeks were instantly cleared. Ikeda Erina said instinctively: "Where are you? Uesugi? Are you home now? I want to see you! Can I take a taxi to Sakata Bridge now?"

"It's so late, let's meet tomorrow." Uesugi Munen said quickly: "I will take a few days off, we will meet tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll ask for leave from the office tomorrow." Erina said without thinking.

"No need, just tell Sudo... Just tell the section chief to come to me if you have anything to do." Uesugi Sosetsu smiled and said, "He won't object."

"Okay, I'll remember that. See you tomorrow. Have a good rest, okay?"

"Okay, see you tomorrow then, Master Erina."

Uesugi Sosetsu hung up the phone. Ikeda Erena couldn't help getting excited. She rolled over on the tatami with the quilt in her arms, rolling back and forth, pressing the phone against her heart and humming with satisfaction.

It's back, everything's back!
After rolling around a few times, she took a deep breath to calm herself down, wiped away her tears with her hands, and then ran to the cabinet and opened the drawer. Her face flushed slightly, and she looked proud and shy.

She bought a lot of stockings for him.

........................

Uesugi Sosetsu got his wish for a long vacation, but Inspector Watanabe Minami of the Personnel Section of the Police Department had to go to work as usual.

There is no other way. Our Miss Minami never goes to the front line or participates in the investigation. In this case, she cannot get the vacation leave.

The first thing Miss Minami did when she went to work the next day was to go to the District Public Prosecutor's Office to get Inspector Kashiwagi Hitoshi from the Third Department.

Because there was surveillance in the interrogation room, it was clear that the other party was the first to attack. The district prosecutor decided not to prosecute Inspector Kashiwagi and simply imposed an administrative fine of 1 yen.

This is also where the District Prosecutors Office is cunning. The Tokyo District Prosecutors Office claims to have a 99% success rate in public prosecutions. This is not only because the District Prosecutors Office has considerable privileges, but also because these prosecutors are cautious. If the other party has obviously favorable evidence, the District Prosecutors Office will not initiate public prosecution even if the odds are -.

Then came new personnel appointments.

Inspector Higurashi Sota, the head of the 13th Section of the Investigation Division, was officially promoted to Management Officer of the Investigation Division 1, with the rank of Superintendent.

According to convention, police inspectors in the non-professional group must work for seven years before they can be promoted to superintendents. However, there is no such requirement for the professional group. In the professional group, police inspectors will be automatically promoted to superintendents after working for seven years.

The former must have significant achievements to be promoted and have to wait seven years, while the latter will be automatically promoted even if he just sits in an office serving tea and water for seven years. This shows the gap between the non-professional group and the professional group.

Inspector Higurashi Kusata has not been in the service for seven years yet, but because of his contributions in the Fujidai case and the Chiba Prefecture serial murder case, he was promoted to Superintendent of Police in just six years, which is considered a "special promotion."

But this is not the point.

After the promotion ceremony, Minami Watanabe, wearing a standard female police officer uniform, skirt, stockings and high heels, knocked on the door of the office of Superintendent General Watanabe Eiji.

"Director, I want to be transferred to the Criminal Division." Miss Minami took the initiative to say.

"Well, are you really ready, my daughter?" Watanabe Eiji looked radiant, holding hands and leaning back in a comfortable recliner: "Criminal work is not like human work, you must be prepared to endure hardships!"

"Well, please take a look at this." Watanabe Minami had obviously made up her mind. She took out a business plan and placed it in front of her father: "This is my idea."

Watanabe Eiji took the document and the title on it made his expression slightly changed.

"Proposal on the establishment of the Criminal Department's Special Mission Unit (Emergency Special Command Unit)"
