Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 119: The Collapse of Classic Reasoning
Kashiwagi Hitoshi, who is not yet 30 years old this year, passed the national high-level civil service examination at the age of 25 and joined the agency.

Normally, many professional groups who join the Metropolitan Police Department will choose powerful departments such as the Police Department or the Ministry of Public Security. The former has great power and is prestigious. The Personnel Department and the Payment Department of the Metropolitan Police Department are both in the Police Department. For example, Miss Minami joined the department in the Personnel Department.

But Kashiwagi Ren wanted to come to the Criminal Division because he had a natural love for reasoning, for upholding justice, and for the glory of standing under the spotlight.

Before the appearance of Uesugi Sosetsu, Inspector Kashiwagi Hitoshi's life could be described as smooth sailing. After joining the department, he solved many cases and was hailed as the "star inspector" for his superb reasoning ability. In addition to his status as a professional police officer and his handsome appearance like a sea king, he was soon regarded as the face of the Metropolitan Police Department and was sought after by everyone. Later, with the help of someone within the Metropolitan Police Department, he married Kashiwagi Meisa, the face of the previous generation of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The so-called "the horse gallops fast in the spring breeze" is just like this.

However, it goes without saying that since Uesugi Sosetsu came to the Metropolitan Police Department, Kashiwagi Hitoshi's police career has been completely overshadowed.

What made Kashiwagi Jin even more angry was that he had been on the losing end in the Chiba Prefecture serial murder case, and he couldn't help but attack the suspect because of his rage, which led to him being caught by the local prosecutor. Why did the public security police come out to protect Uesugi Sosetsu but not him when both parties were actually violating regulations?
This incident made Kashiwagi Ren very angry. While everyone was enjoying the celebration banquet and press conference, he stayed in the detention center of the district prosecutor's office for the whole day.

He was finally rescued by Watanabe Minami and his men, which was humiliating enough for a gifted child like him.

So today he finally exploded. The corpse killing was bizarre enough. After searching the entire medical building, only Uesugi was left alive. Who else could it be but him? Could it be that Yasue Saijo from Chiba Prefecture had resurrected and came to seek revenge?

Please don't be too outrageous, Consultant Uesugi!

There is only one truth! You are the murderer of this case!

A forensic doctor, a person with a high IQ, and an elaborately designed theatrical crime have everyone in his hands, but you can't hide it from me, nor from Kashiwagi Hitoshi, the head of the Third Department of the First Investigation Division, who is the last card of the Metropolitan Police Department!

The criminal motive, criminal process, and criminal means deduced by the orthodox reasoning are so smooth and logically self-consistent that even Kashiwagi Hitoshi himself feels that they are impeccable.

However, this perfect process collapsed just a few photos ago!

There are surveillance cameras in the hospital! Lots of surveillance cameras!
Although the lights in the medical building were turned off that night, causing most of the surveillance footage to be dark and unclear, and although no one believed the conclusion that the corpse had resurrected and attacked people, Uesugi Sosetsu immediately realized after waking up that according to the nature of Japanese police, once they have no clue about the case, they will definitely start to suspect him!

If it were somewhere else, Uesugi Sosetsu would be in real trouble.

But this is a hospital.

The coverage rate of surveillance cameras in other parts of Japan is actually not high. The method used by Yasue Nishijo to commit crimes is indeed smart and vicious, and he also knows how to observe the location of surveillance cameras.

But this is a hospital.

There are a lot of surveillance cameras in the hospital, surveillance cameras are everywhere. Uesugi Sosetsu received this kind of education when he was in the First Surgery Department, and he memorized every surveillance camera to prevent medical disputes and deal with patients and their families who try to make trouble.

Yes, although the doctor-patient relationship in Japan is much better than in some countries, and although the Japanese generally respect doctors and medical advice, such incidents are still inevitable.

He briefly recalled the locations where the two men had fought, and immediately remembered that although there was no light on the entire floor at the time, there was a faint light near the emergency fire alarm and the emergency escape passage.

Uesugi Sosetsu immediately told Ikeda Erena about the situation and asked her to find Watanabe Minami.

Hence these photos.

Hisato Nakano, who was declared dead at noon, appeared in the camera holding a machete and illuminated by a faint light near the emergency exit. A middle-aged man with empty eyes and a hideous smile appeared in the camera.

It's only a few frames, but it's enough.

This is enough to prove that Hisato Nakano was still alive, moving, and with his eyes open.

Kashiwagi Jin's entire set of orthodox reasoning was refuted.

"He, he, he..." Kashiwagi Ren was totally unable to accept this result. He felt stars in his eyes and felt dizzy. Facing the gazes of the crowd and the cold expression of Uesugi Sosetsu, the star police inspector grabbed the surveillance photos and said, "How did he do it? Wasn't he declared dead? He was also dissected! It was done by Advisor Uesugi himself!"

"How can a dissected person be resurrected? This, this is fake, right?"

Impossible, how could my orthodox reasoning be wrong? The entire logic is sound, the means are clear, and the process is self-consistent.

impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Kashiwagi Ren shook his head vigorously, still insisting on his point of view: "No, this is possible, right? The forensic doctor will..."

"Inspector Kashiwagi, are you awake?" Criminal Chief Mao Li Longyi had already lost his patience. He directly signaled his subordinates to go up and remove the handcuffs of Uesugi Muneyuki: "I'm sorry, Advisor Uesugi, I apologize to you on behalf of this department. According to the surveillance footage, although we don't know what happened, you are not the murderer."

Watanabe Minami also breathed a sigh of relief. Miss Minami was kept awake all night by Uesugi Sosetsu.

After receiving the news that Uesugi Sosetsu had saved her life last night, Miss Minami initially thought he was joking, but after making a few phone calls, she realized something was wrong. She was the one who called the police from Otsuka Police Station.

"Finally." Ikeda Erena breathed a sigh of relief and came over to uncuff Uesugi Sosetsu.

Uesugi Sosetsu coldly pushed her away and turned to look at Kashiwagi Ren who had a dazed look on his face: "Kashiwagi-san?"

"Hmm?" Kashiwagi Jin looked at Uesugi Sosetsu as if he were looking at a ghost.

"Do you owe me something?" Uesugi Sosetsu raised the handcuffs in his hands.

“…………” Kashiwagi Ren remained silent.

"Kashiwagi?" Miss Minami was a little displeased.

Kashiwagi Ren remained where he was without saying a word.

"Kashiwagi!!!" Minister Maori had already yelled. "I'm really sorry~" In front of the crowd, Kashiwagi Ren's eyes were bloodshot, he felt wronged, painful and ashamed. Slowly, slowly, he forced himself to lower his head with willpower, bent his waist 45 degrees, gritted his teeth and almost cried: "I'm really sorry!"

He didn't think he was wrong. Moreover, if it wasn't Uesugi Sosetsu, then it was a dead person who committed the crime? How could such a thing be possible?
"You really don't have any sincerity." Uesugi Sosetsu snorted coldly and waved his hand, indicating that he could remove the handcuffs.

If it were someone else, he would definitely not let Kashiwagi Ren off so easily and would definitely give the other person a hard beating.

But the problem is that he still plans to cooperate with the Metropolitan Police Department in the future, and after what happened this time, Uesugi Sosetsu knows very well that in addition to his own hard power, he will most likely have to rely on the Metropolitan Police Department to protect himself.

Since they plan to continue to deepen cooperation with the Metropolitan Police Department, they cannot make things too difficult for the Metropolitan Police Department. Uesugi Sosetsu knows this.

Besides, even if he didn't accept the apology, what else could he do? Would he transform into Aizen Myōō Vajra Yaksha Myōō and kill Kashiwagi Ren?

In fact, Kashiwagi Jin’s orthodox mystery show is quite exciting.

This guy has some talent. Since it is impossible to kill him with one blow, it is better to find something wrong with him and see what he can do for himself in the future and what he can get from the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Forget it, let's end this matter here." Uesugi Muneyuki first generously forgave Kashiwagi Hitoshi's sin, but immediately followed Minister Mori and said, "But let's be clear, Minister Mori, Inspector Kashiwagi's investigation into my registration at the Bunkyo-ku Hotel has seriously violated my personal privacy. And I remember that the detectives of the First Investigation Division cannot force the hotel to cooperate without a search warrant, right? I remember that this power is only possessed by the District Public Prosecutors Office and the Second Investigation Division."

Uesugi Sosetsu's words made Kashiwagi Jin, who was bowing to apologize, feel embarrassed.

Yes, strictly speaking, the Search Section is not entitled to require the hotel to produce the investigation registration records, but if the hotel "cooperates voluntarily", it can.

Some things, if you don't weigh them, you won't be able to stop them even if you ....

Uesugi Muneyuki was about to put the matter on the table: "Minister Maori, your Criminal Department is really full of fragrant grass."

This guy has a really poisonous tongue!
Mao Li Longyi was in a headache after hearing what Uesugi Muneyuki said, but he didn't dare to get angry at him, so he could only roar at Kashiwagi Jin: "Look at you, what have you done?!"

"How can you arrest him without any evidence? If you do this, which forensic doctor will dare to come to the Metropolitan Police Department for help in the future?"

"Go back and reflect on your actions. I hereby declare your position temporarily suspended and you will be placed in an inactive status!"

Minister Mori made the decision on the spot. Inspector Kashiwagi, who looked as pale as death, was dragged away. Then he signaled to Watanabe Minami and Ikeda Erena to send Uesugi Sosetsu home to rest first.

But Uesugi Sosetsu refused.

He wanted to take a look at the dead Saito Nanami.

In the temporary morgue of Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Uesugi Sosetsu saw the body of Saito Nanami. The deceased had many knife wounds on her body, each of which was deep enough to see the bone. The police officer in charge of the scene couldn't help but look away before lifting the shroud. Miss Minami stood far away and didn't want to look. Only Ikeda Erena followed Uesugi Sosetsu and took a look.

It was normal that Saito Nana did not die in the corridor, because Uesugi Sosetsu stayed in the medical building that night just to wait for her.

Normally, the usual procedure between them would be to find a place to eat together and then play Princess Connect together, but today Saito said that he had something important to discuss with Uesugi and took the initiative to come to him.

Unexpectedly, she would be involved in this curse attack.

No, to be specific, it was because she took the initiative to find her that Uesugi Sosetsu stayed in the medical building waiting for her, and that was why Saijo Yasuie found the opportunity to attack her. These conditions complement each other and none of them can be missing.

As for why Saijo Yasue knew that he would stay in the medical building to see Saito, this may remain a mystery forever.

Without a soul, the Dead Soul Contract cannot be triggered. It seems that those killed by the curse will have no chance of being awakened.

Uesugi Sosetsu signaled to the police that they could cover the shroud. With a complicated expression, he turned around and signaled to Watanabe Minami and Ikeda Erena that it was okay.

The tall beauty next to him had never found a chance to speak, and had a lot to say. Seeing that she finally had a chance, she couldn't help but ask, "Uesugi, who is she to you?"

"It's just as you imagined." Uesugi Sosetsu answered very straightforwardly: "We often eat together and check into hotels together."

“Huh?” This was not the answer that Erina wanted. She almost immediately glared at Uesugi with contempt: “Scumbag! Scum!”

Isn't it enough for you to have me?

Erina was angry. Almost instantly, her not-so-bright mind suddenly realized something: "Wait, that time, that time at the restaurant... when we were choosing clothes at Uniqlo, the call you received was from her?"

Hmm? Miss Minami next to her also showed interest.

Is there something else between these two people that I don't know about?

want to hear!

"Yes, it's her." Uesugi Sosetsu said casually. Since coming to Tokyo, he has had Princess Connect with many women in Tokyo. There are hundreds of names in his address book, but some of them are relatively fixed, while some are just one-time romances.

Ever since he became busy with work, he rarely had the opportunity to recruit new Princess Connect characters, so there were fewer and fewer people to be found in the address book. Saito was one of the more regular people he could make an appointment with.

But because of this, Uesugi Munen has decided not to meet her again.

"This guy borrowed 58.8 from me." Uesugi Sosetsu suddenly said to Miss Minami and Erina.

"Hey?!"
