Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 118, Uesugi is the murderer?
PS: I have to drive home today to celebrate the New Year, so there will only be one update.

In the early morning of the next day, at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University Medical Building Murder Case Special Investigation Headquarters, a piece of news detonated the entire conference room, causing a slight shock to the hearts of all the detectives in the Special Investigation Headquarters who were originally listless.

Inspector Hitoshi Kashiwagi, head of the Third Division of the First Investigation Division, formally filed the accusation.

He announced a major discovery to all the police officers on the scene.

The murderer in the medical building murder case is none other than Uesugi Sosetsu himself!
Kashiwagi Ren's announcement caused a huge uproar, and many detectives who had been discussing the matter all night were stunned by Kashiwagi Ren's judgment!
The first one to object was Tanaka Laodeng. He had a very good relationship with Uesugi Sosetsu and was the first person to perform an autopsy on him. Tanaka Laodeng was not good at other things but he liked to brag to others about his and Uesugi Sosetsu's glorious days. So he was the first one to not believe it: "Even if it's a professional team from the headquarters, there has to be a limit! Inspector Kashiwagi, are you awake?!"

The second person to object was Asako Kuwahara, who also stood up and said, "Inspector Kashiwagi, you must be mistaken, Advisor Uesugi is also a victim!"

"Is he a victim? I don't think so." Inspector Kashiwagi said coldly: "Listen to me first, and then give your opinions."

The pressure from the professional team spread from the face of this Inspector of the Sea King. Seeing his confident look, the people from the local branches such as Otsuka Police Station did not dare to say a word.

"Everyone, do you believe that dead people can kill people?" Inspector Kashiwagi was the first to ask, "Do you really believe that a body that has been declared dead will suddenly come back to life, holding a machete that it got from nowhere, and suddenly attack a doctor who has never met him before?"

There was silence below.

This was exactly the problem that troubled many police officers throughout the evening.

If they identify the corpse, Hisato Nakano, as the suspect, they will come to a bunch of ridiculous conclusions.

In terms of interpersonal relationships, Nakano Hisahito and other victims including Uesugi Sosetsu were complete strangers.

Judging from the evidence, Hisato Nakano had been declared dead at noon. How did a dead man come back to life?
Based on the on-site investigation, Nakano Hisahito's movement trajectory was also very strange. On at least two occasions, his shoe prints and footprints inexplicably disappeared in one place and appeared in another place.

"My opinion was the same as yours before." Inspector Kashiwagi Hitoshi saw this and knew what was going on: "If we really assume that Nakano Toshito might be the murderer, then we may never know the truth, and this case will become an unsolved case forever with the result of a murder with a corpse!"

"However, if we put aside this assumption and change our thinking, then the key point of this case will be revealed in the third victim!" Kashiwagi Ren signaled his men to put up the PPT.

A photo of a woman appeared on the screen with text underneath.

Saito Nanami, 21 years old, from Hokkaido, is a student at Musashino Art University.

She was the third body found in the corridor.

"The key to solving the case lies in this female victim." Kashiwagi Ren first showed Saito Nanami's mobile phone: "According to the call records in the phone, we found that there was a very special relationship between her and Uesugi Muneyuki!"

"There have been hundreds of phone calls between the two parties over the past year!" Kashiwagi Ren showed the communication records on the phone to all the police officers present. "Also, according to our men's inquiries into hotel check-in records, we know that Uesugi Muneyuki has checked into hotels in Bunkyo District more than 60 times in the past year! Although the number of people involved is mixed, many of them are related to her."

"So, there's no need to elaborate on the relationship between her and Uesugi Sosetsu, right?"

lover.

Everyone in the audience nodded, agreeing with Inspector Kashiwagi's judgment.

However, they still disagreed with Inspector Kashiwagi's identification of Uesugi Sosetsu as the murderer.

"Isn't it because of her relationship with Uesugi-san that she ended up here and was murdered?" As expected, Inspector Kosaka of the First Department objected: "What does this prove?"

"Don't be impatient, this is the first evidence." Kashiwagi Ren once again signaled everyone to listen to him.

"The second piece of evidence is the corpse of Nakano Hisahito."

"Nakano Hisato had stopped breathing when he was sent to the hospital this morning and was pronounced dead at noon, but..." Inspector Kashiwagi paused: "Who was in charge of the autopsy? Who was in charge of the dissection? Who was the last person to touch the body and who was able to enter and leave the morgue freely and use the body for his own purposes?"

"That's right, it's Uesugi Sosetsu himself!"

"He was the last person to touch the body, and he was also the only one in the hospital who could freely enter and exit the morgue at that time!" Inspector Kashiwagi continued, "So, even though Nakano Hisahito himself and the other three people involved in this case had never met before, if we switch perspectives!"

Inspector Kashiwagi moved the photo of Nakano Hisahito away from the small blackboard and placed the photo of Uesugi Sosetsu in the middle!

"Uesugi Sosetsu has a very close relationship with these three people!"

Use a black pen to draw three lines starting from the photo of Uesugi Sosetsu.

Uesugi Sosetsu → Saito Nanami, lovers.

Uesugi Sosetsu → Nakano Hisahito, autopsy relationship.

Uesugi Muneyuki → Tsukada Mannosuke, the superior-subordinate relationship between a regular employee and the doorman.

After this analysis, the entire interpersonal relationship and logic become clear.

The noise at the scene suddenly became much quieter.

At this time, some smarter police officers had begun to realize something from the interpersonal relationships centered on Sugi Sosetsu.

Could it be?

"I think you all have figured it out, right?" Kashiwagi Ren nodded. He took a deep breath and prepared to come up with the greatest and most brilliant conclusion he had ever made since he started working as a police officer: "So, things are very clear now!"

"This is a theatrical crime carefully planned by Uesugi Muneyuki himself!"

"Let's restore the process. The rift between Uesugi Muneyuki and Ms. Saito was the root of this case. Uesugi Muneyuki therefore wanted to kill Saito! This was the motive for the murder."

"Uesugi carefully arranged a wonderful crime scene, and then called Saito to come to the medical building to find him. Saito didn't know what was going on, and was killed by Uesugi."

"However, when Saito entered the medical building, he was noticed by the security guard, who followed him and called out to him. Uesugi was worried that the security guard might discover that he had killed Saito, so he called the security guard and used his status as a regular member to order him to come over. He then used the dim environment in the building to lure him nearby and then killed him."

"Then, Uesugi took Nakano Hisahito's body out of the morgue, disguised the scene, pretended to be attacked by the body, and used a fire extinguisher to destroy all possible evidence on the surface of the body, pretending that he was also a victim."

Inspector Kashiwagi Hitoshi said loudly on the stage: "This is the truth of this case!" "The real murderer who killed the security guard Tsukada Mannosuke and the female college student Saito Nanami used her identity as a forensic doctor to pin all the crimes on the already deceased Nakano Hisahito and disguised herself as the victim is none other than the Tokyo Medical and Dental University Forensic Pathology Department, the on-site consultant of our Metropolitan Police Department's Forensic Identification Department, Uesugi Muneyuki!"

A whole clear logical chain, a perfect motivation hypothesis process, coupled with the consistent impression and super professional ability of Uesugi Sosetsu, and Kashiwagi Hitoshi's orthodox reasoning ability.

The image of a terrifying criminal with high intelligence, high technology and high ability suddenly entered the minds of every police officer present.

Could it be?

Could it be that Advisor Uesugi is really the murderer?
After hearing the entire inference, everyone present, including Tanaka Laodeng, became a little unconfident.

The main thing is that if you follow this logic, then everything will make sense.

The protagonist, Uesugi Sosetsu, had a conflict with his lover Saito. Although the specific reason is not clear, it is easy for love to turn into hate in emotional matters. Then Uesugi Sosetsu planned this crime with his super high IQ and strong professional ability.

That's the motivation.

When they met a patrolling security guard on the way, Uesugi Sosetsu was afraid of being discovered, so he called the security guard to lure him over, killed him, and then took out the body, pretending that everything was done by the corpse and that he was also injured, so there was no evidence.

Eight million gods and Buddhas in heaven, Inspector Kashiwagi is worthy of being the star inspector of our Metropolitan Police Department and is known as the last one in the Metropolitan Police Department!

Sure enough!

After figuring all this out, the people in the audience stopped saying anything.

I would rather die than let my friend die. If my little brother Uesugi falls, please don’t let his blood splash on me.

Did our Otsuka Police Department ever cooperate with Uesugi? Why don't I remember it?

Only Tanaka Laodeng had a gloomy expression. He really didn't believe that the young Uesugi brother, who was a rookie but dared to confront him and seemed a little neurotic in order to make the truth clear, was the murderer.

But now that things have come to this, there is nothing he can do. He can only whisper to Uesugi Sosetsu who is on the phone: "What should I do, Uesugi brother? Did you hear everything he said? Is it really you?"

Uesugi Sosetsu's answer was strange. He was a little confused and a little sad: "If that's the case, then Nanami is already dead?"

"Of course!" Tanaka Laodeng saw that Kashiwagi Ren had started to act, and immediately shouted into the phone: "Listen, Uesugi, I can only help you up to this point. I don't care if you did it or not, anyway, Kashiwagi Ren is heading towards you."

"understood."

Uesugi Sosetsu had just hung up the phone and waited for three minutes when he saw Inspector Kashiwagi opening the door and entering.

"Uesugi Sosetsu, we are arresting you on suspicion of multiple murders." Inspector Kashiwagi Hitoshi took out a pair of beautiful silver bracelets.

The other policemen who followed in were shocked when they saw Kashiwagi Ren take out handcuffs.

But Uesugi Sosetsu didn't care at all. He looked coldly at Inspector Kashiwagi, who was looking smug and proud in front of him, and thought that this guy had probably been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"Inspector Kashiwagi, are you sure?" Uesugi Sosetsu said calmly, "If you handcuff me, it won't be that easy for me to take them off!"

"Oh, you said it the other way around, didn't you, Advisor Uesugi?" Kashiwagi Jin thought to himself, what kind of nonsense is this? Is it up to you to decide whether to take off the handcuffs or not? "Anyway, if you have anything to say, come back to the office and tell us."

After saying that, Kashiwagi Ren handcuffed him tightly with a pair of silver bracelets.

Click~
After saying that, Inspector Kashiwagi flicked his wrist, revealing the gold watch inside his sleeve: "December 12, Tokyo Medical and Dental University Inpatient Department, 3:4 am, arrest suspect Uesugi Muneyuki!"

In this way, Uesugi Sosetsu, who was still injured, was taken down from the bed by two policemen and prepared to be taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department for interrogation.

Uesugi Sosetsu did not resist. He let the two policemen hold him. His eyes were vague and he could not tell what he felt. It was like wind, rain and thunder. He was silent for a long time before he said, "Is Nanami really dead?"

"Don't you know what you did?" Inspector Kashiwagi sounded a little strange. From the tone of Uesugi Souyuki, did he really not know?
Humph~ He is just a criminal with a high IQ. People like him can probably tell lies calmly even in front of a polygraph!
Kashiwagi Ren is very confident in himself.

However, just as Kashiwagi Hitoshi was about to take Uesugi Sosetsu out of the inpatient building and bring him back to the Metropolitan Police Department for interrogation, several police cars were already blocking the door.

They are the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division Chief Mori Takayoshi, the face of the Metropolitan Police Department Watanabe Minami, the chief driver Okada Masayoshi, and the patrol chief of the Otsuka Police Department's Criminal Division Ikeda Erina!
"Kashiwagi! You are totally wrong!" When Mao Li Longyi saw the handcuffs on Uesugi Muneyuki, he was furious and anxious: "Uesugi Muneyuki is not a criminal!"

"Eh?" Kashiwagi Ren was a little dissatisfied. Everyone knows that Uesugi Sosetsu has a close relationship with you guys: "But he is a suspect!"

"Wrong, completely wrong!" Before Mori Takayoshi could say something else, Watanabe Minami had already signaled him to shut up. The face of the Metropolitan Police Department looked at Inspector Kashiwagi with eyes as cold as ice. She took a document from Okada Masayoshi's hand and took it out. Inside was a color surveillance photo.

Although the lights in the medical building were almost all turned off that day, and although most of the surveillance footage seen on the front line was dark and unclear, the surveillance photos in Watanabe Minami's hand stayed on a few frames illuminated by the faint light from the emergency escape exit.

After high-definition processing, we can see that under the illumination of the green light of the emergency escape exit, Hisato Nakano passed by in front of the surveillance screen holding a machete, with empty eyes, a hideous smile, and open mouth.

"Huh?" Kashiwagi Ren was stunned.

This, isn't this right?

At this moment, Uesugi Sosetsu spoke.

"Very brilliant orthodox reasoning, very complete logical chain, very clean and neat presumption of guilt, Mr. Kashiwagi Hitoshi, you are indeed a skilled detective."

"But there are surveillance cameras, idiot!"

"Do you know why our hospital has so many surveillance cameras? Do you know why I know this location will be captured by the surveillance cameras?" Uesugi Sosetsu raised his hands: "It's because I'm afraid this kind of situation will happen, Inspector."

“All I have to do is make things clear.”

The corners of Uesugi Sosetsu's mouth curled up, his eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a dead person.

You made me angry.
