Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 122: It’s a matter of course

PS: Happy New Year, brother and sister-in-law~
Uesugi Sosetsu didn't care what was happening outside the ward. He probably had already guessed what Miss Minami and Ikeda Erena were talking about. Since it was in his own interest, there was no need for him to interfere.

Uesugi Sosetsu is thinking about the other world.

Since traveling through time, he has almost no understanding of the other world. The little knowledge he has either comes from his own exploration or from the half-baked knowledge passed down by Ms. Kurosawa from her master. After experiencing the Golden Age, Ms. Kurosawa's brain has long been filled with all kinds of luxurious life and the environment of a modern metropolis, and he cannot ask more questions.

Hironaka Mariko doesn't even understand how she became the Grudge, and she just does abstract things all day long.

What's worse is that now Uesugi Sosetsu has lost even these two dead souls, Ms. Kurosawa was killed by Saijo Yasue with one blow, and there is a high probability that Hironaka Mariko died together with Saijo Yasue.

So the first question that Uesugi Sosetsu has to face is - will the curse-like attacks on Saijo Yasue become a normal part of his life?

If this is the case, he will have a lot of trouble in the future...

But Uesugi Sosetsu still tends to believe that there is no such thing. From his awakening to now, he has examined hundreds of corpses and participated in hundreds of cases. In most of them, nothing happened. Occasionally, there were cases where the unjust dead souls triggered the contract, but he had never encountered such a situation.

Will the existence of the other world be the norm during autopsies?

Uesugi Sosetsu's opinion is negative. Since the autopsy, he has only encountered two beings from the half-li world, one is Ms. Kurosawa and the other is Saijo Yasue. As for Hironaka Mariko, she took the initiative to form the curse, so she can be counted as half a being at most.

With such a huge amount of autopsies, she has only encountered individual cases of using supernatural powers so frequently. This shows that the existence of the other world is actually very rare. Among them, Ms. Kurosawa and the female anchor Hironaka triggered it on their own initiative.

So will being on guard against attacks from the inside become the norm in your life in the future?

Uesugi Sosetsu's opinion was certain. It had only been a few months since the autopsy, and he had encountered such a horrific and desperate attack that almost cost him his life. Even if he had won by chance, he still paid a huge price. Nanami died, Kurosawa died, Hironaka died, and he was even regarded as the murderer by Kashiwagi Jin.

He summed up two experiences for this. The first was that in the future, he should not personally go into battle with the criminals and arouse their hatred, otherwise, if the other party formed a grudge, it would be easy to attract a desperate attack. The second was that he should be vigilant and never act alone in the future. As for the other side of the other world, he should explore the so-called Kurosawa Shrine.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Sosetsu looked very bad.

Saito died because of him. She took the initiative to ask him out, but it resulted in both of them suffering a devastating blow. Uesugi at least survived, but she left forever.

And there is Tsukada, he is a good guy, he has a good relationship with everyone, he says good morning loudly every day, and if Uesugi Sosetsu needs a ballpoint pen, he will rush to deliver it personally, he is serious and responsible in his work. If he had not felt something strange and patrolled the building on his own initiative but stayed in the monitoring room and took a nap, he would not necessarily be killed by Saijo Yasue.

They are all dead... Uesugi Sosetsu sighed sadly.

He will never forget the humiliation of being handcuffed by Kashiwagi Ren.

Doesn't he want revenge?
How can it be?

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

Could he use the Aizen Myōō Jinshen to kill Kashiwagi Ren on the spot? Regardless of the consequences, he couldn't do it because the other party had a gun.

So, can Uesugi Sosetsu file a complaint against Kashiwagi Hitoshi about this matter and take him to court?

The answer is, it’s impossible.

As a descendant of the former feudal lord, the Yonezawa Uesugi clan, Uesugi Munesetsu knew that if he ignored the matter and made a complaint, and if he insisted on holding those responsible accountable for the matter, then the greatest possibility for Kashiwagi Hitoshi would be that he would be punished and transferred to a local branch to serve as the head of the Criminal Division. In more serious cases, he would be transferred to the countryside to serve as the assistant head or acting head of the Criminal Division at the local headquarters.

What kind of decent punishment is this?

But Uesugi Munesetsu knew that this was the maximum punishment, and if he went this far, he would be offending the entire Metropolitan Police Department.

Kashiwagi Hitoshi is in the professional group, Okada Masayoshi is in the professional group, Miss Minami is in the professional group, Mori Takayoshi, Tomonobu Togazaki, Tsuyoshi Kudo, Eiji Watanabe and others are all in the professional group.

All 79 quota superintendents nationwide are professional groups. Only once every ten years will a non-professional superintendent-level director appear in the major subordinate departments of the Metropolitan Police Department. The term of office of this non-professional superintendent is generally between 11 and 18 months, and he or she will retire at the end of the term.

Sir Arnold Abinson, the famous Cabinet Chief Secretary and Chief Civil Servant, once said: "Want to sack a senior civil servant for dereliction of duty? In principle, you can, but in fact, you can't!"

Anyone familiar with bureaucracy knows that what is possible in principle may not be possible in fact, and what is not possible in principle may be possible in fact.

This sentence also applies to the Metropolitan Police Department. In order to help protect himself, Miss Minami and others will undoubtedly stand on his side. However, if Uesugi Muneyuki wants to overturn the table and move against Kashiwagi Jin, they, as a professional group, will undoubtedly come forward to protect the interests of the professional group as a whole. At this time, the two sides will stand on opposite sides, and Uesugi Muneyuki will personally face the current king of the Metropolitan Police Department who has the final say, one of the few police chiefs with real power in history, Watanabe Eiji.

This guy was fed by himself!
That's why Minister Maori and Miss Minami demanded that Kashiwagi Hitoshi apologize. Why don't you leave when you are beaten by a big stick? Do you really want to make Uesugi and you die together?
I took my time to give face to the Metropolitan Police Department. Didn't I see that Miss Minami went to talk to Ikeda immediately?
But this incident does not mean that I will let Kashiwagi Ren go. I will keep my promise and wait for the right time to repay in kind, tenfold!
Finally, there is one more question.

Who was that arrow that pierced the air? Why did he save himself instead of killing himself? Was he an enemy or a friend?
Uesugi Sosetsu thought about it and finally concluded: It's hard to say!

But he had some guesses. He remembered the only time in so many on-site investigations...

Just at this moment, Ikeda walked in from outside.

"…………" The tall beauty's eyes seemed to be stimulated by something. She glared at Uesugi Sosetsu with her beautiful eyes. Her slender fingers grabbed the door tightly, and she closed the door of the VIP ward with force and locked it.

When the door closed, Ikeda Erena's body suddenly seemed to lose strength, and she slumped down in the chair, staring blankly at Uesugi Sosetsu on the bed. Uesugi Sosetsu stood up and asked carefully, "Master Erena, are you okay?"

After waiting for a long time, Erena didn't respond to Uesugi Sosetsu's words. She just looked at Uesugi Sosetsu straight in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. Looking at her appearance, Uesugi Sosetsu probably knew what Miss Minami and Erena had said. Just when he was about to speak again, Erena suddenly spoke.

"Do you want to know what Ms. Watanabe asked me to do?"

"You will be responsible for protecting my safety during this period?" Uesugi Munen said a little unnaturally: "And take care of me by the way?"

"A long time ago, my life goal was to become a professional judo athlete. I have been particularly good at judo and karate since I was a child. I have won countless awards of all sizes. I was considered to have the ability to enter the national team, and that is what I planned to do."

"But as I entered junior high school, my body began to develop, and my coach, a judo world champion and Olympic gold medalist, suddenly told me that my posture was wrong. No matter what I did, no matter how I posed, he told me that my posture was wrong, which made me doubt myself and my life."

"I worked harder for it, but the coach still insisted that I was doing it wrong. I finally couldn't help crying and asked the coach what to do."

"The coach told me that if I wanted to know, I should go to him privately."

Uesugi Sosetsu did not say anything. He just listened quietly to Ikeda Erena's confession. Until he heard the coach asked her to find him privately, Uesugi Sosetsu finally couldn't help but look up at her changing expression and said in astonishment: "He wants...?"

"Yes, he wants to have sex with me." Erina said expressionlessly.

"He told me that if I wanted to join the national team and become a national player, I had to sleep with him. Otherwise, I would never have the chance to join the national team, and even the judo path would not be possible in the future. In this country, if the senior mentor coach with an Olympic gold medal says you can't join the national team, then you can't join the national team!"

Having said that, an expression of deep disgust yet helplessness appeared on Erina's pretty face.

"He's an Olympic champion, he's a national team player, as long as he says you're not good enough, no professional judo team would dare to hire you, he'll use this as a threat to make you have sex with him, otherwise there's no point in talking, I guess that's how it is."

Following Ikeda Erina's words, Uesugi Sosetsu expressed his guess. When he saw the woman nodded slightly, an unknown fire suddenly surged in his heart, and his two palms slowly clenched into two iron fists.

Our great Japan has its own national conditions.

He actually dared to attack a junior high school girl. This is no longer an ordinary coach. Uesugi Sosetsu really wanted to [harden] and crack his head with a punch.

And according to Erina's description, although she didn't say it very clearly, it was obvious that many girls chose to accept it.

Erina did not accept it, she rejected it angrily. The Olympic gold medal coach did not do anything to her. He tried several times to test her but failed. From that sentence, he directly sentenced Erina's martial arts career to an end.

"Her posture is not good. She needs to practice more."

No wonder. I have always wondered why Reina, who had won so many awards, suddenly interrupted all her judo and karate careers after high school. No wonder when the first boss she met tried to trap her, she immediately went crazy and beat him up and reported him.

She had experienced this earlier! After coming to Tokyo and becoming a policewoman, this was not the first time she encountered sexual harassment, but the second time and even several times.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Just when Uesugi Sosetsu understood the whole cause and effect, he suddenly heard two women's sobs, which became louder and louder. He saw that Erena's eyes were suddenly filled with crystal tears like pearls that had broken off the string, and they rolled down her deep and beautiful face, making her look particularly sad and beautiful. Uesugi Sosetsu was amazed and distressed, and quickly stretched out his hands to signal her not to cry and to come for a hug.

Then, Uesugi Sosetsu felt two white and tender arms around his waist, holding him tightly. A beautiful exotic face was pressed against his chest and she burst into tears.

"I have always believed that it is an honor to become a police officer in Beijing. I have always believed that although my power is small, my efforts can provide some benefits to this terrible society. I have always believed that my persistence will always be rewarded!"

"Even if I am just a patrol officer for my whole life, even if field work is hard and tiring, I can stick with it! Because I am fighting crime and upholding justice!"

"But why? In the end, they still fell in love with my body. Why did they still see the value of my body after I showed my martial arts? I learned martial arts and they wanted me to sell my body. I gave up martial arts and came to Beijing to become a policeman, but they still wanted me to sell my body? Didn't I come here for nothing?!"

"Woooooooooo~"

Uesugi Sosetsu held her in his arms, feeling somewhat helpless, distressed, and emotional. He let the tall beauty in his arms find a comfortable position on his body, and said softly, "Master Erina... I know your efforts, and your efforts have never been in vain. At least I have seen them all. Why do I want you? Isn't it because I see your talent?"

Hearing this, Erina's originally heart-wrenching cry gradually weakened, and then disappeared completely. She raised her head and stared at Uesugi Sosetsu with tears in her eyes. She was angry and amused. Before she could say anything, she buried her head in Uesugi Sosetsu's chest again out of shame: "Nominating me... is that really the only thing you can do? Is there nothing else?"

"Of course, I just like your talent... Uh, no, no, I don't just like you... Uh, yes, yes, um... No, Master Erina, of course you also have... Ah, yes, yes... yes, yes, yes... right?"

Uesugi Sosetsu was now caught between two odds. The ultimate question raised by the stupid beauty made the usually calm Uesugi Sosetsu confused: "I mean, we should look at it dialectically. Master Erina, you are naturally very talented, but you are also very beautiful. I just..."

"Pfft!" Ikeda Erena was amused by Uesugi Sosetsu. She finally couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Bad thing! Stop pretending! Where is your frankness?"

After saying that, without waiting for Uesugi Sosetsu's response, Erina took the initiative to kiss him, pressing her bright red and plump lips against Uesugi Sosetsu's lips.

Following Erina's actions, the VIP ward became completely quiet.

The warm winter sun is like a poem. It may be very cold outside the room, but for the man and woman kissing on the bed in the room, warmth is in their hearts.
