Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 127, The Last Rely
Uesugi Sosetsu's sudden action shocked Watanabe Minami beside him and Ikeda Erena behind him. When Uesugi Sosetsu motioned Saito Asuka to pack up her things and leave with his car to temporarily get rid of the girl, Miss Minami was furious and slapped him on the head on the spot: "Uesugi! What are you crazy about?"

"I'm not crazy, I'm sober." Uesugi Sosetsu stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm.

"You're not crazy, so why are you doing such a weird thing?" Miss Minami was speechless. She was a little exasperated: "Do you know that if you get involved with an underage girl... do you really know the system of your country?"

"I know." Uesugi Munen was very calm: "For such orphans, if they are under 12 years old, they will be forcibly sent to an orphanage and will be reviewed by the institution to find a guardian. Orphans over 12 years old can choose a guardian by themselves as long as both parties agree."

“But…” Miss Minami couldn’t handle it any more. She held her head and said, “If you say this suddenly, people will suspect that you…”

"Isn't it because of me that this happened?" Uesugi Munen shook his head naturally, "If it weren't for me, Saito probably wouldn't have died."

"but……"

"Just say yes or no?" Uesugi Sosetsu glanced at Miss Minami indifferently.

"or!!!" Miss Minami rolled her eyes: "Then you should wait until she is penniless and dragging a suitcase on the street... um, what I mean is..."

"Another favor, huh?" Uesugi Munen finally understood: "Okay, I won't play so many tricks. I'll do whatever I want."

“You’re not…” Miss Minami was even more shocked.

"I'm sorry, I never have sex with minors under the age of 18, you should know this, and I don't have the slightest desire for such a poor and young woman." Uesugi Munen emphasized helplessly: "I don't have that intention."

“But you can’t explain it to others.” Miss Minami still felt that something was wrong.

"This case is not open to the public. That's what you said." Uesugi Sosetsu was very calm.

“Well, that’s true…” Miss Minami thought to herself, it’s over. This time she actually helped Uesugi Sosetsu.

"I know that if I don't do anything, she might starve to death at home." Uesugi Munen's expression was serious: "Saito owes at least 3 million in scholarships, and she borrowed money from me for the second semester of her second year. If I'm not mistaken, as Saito becomes a legal dead person, the bank will immediately review this bad debt and transfer all the remaining funds in her account, right?"

"Yes." Miss Minami nodded.

Banks always give out umbrellas when it's sunny and take them away when it's rainy.

"For the hospital, holding such a grand funeral is enough, and the Metropolitan Police Department should pay a symbolic compensation. I think it should be less than 100 million. But this money will not be paid immediately. It needs to go through a whole approval process. Am I right?" Uesugi Muneyuki continued.

"You're right. The earliest it will be done will be next May, because April is the annual report inspection (the end of the year in Japan is April). During this period, the Police Department and the General Affairs Department will try their best to make the account data look better." Miss Minami thought to herself that this man was becoming more and more terrifying.

"What about next year?" Ikeda Erina finally found an opportunity to intervene, and she asked with great interest.

“As for next year, we’ll deal with next year’s affairs next year. That’s what civil servants are like.” Miss Minami laughed.

"So is it possible for her to starve to death?" Uesugi Sosetsu asked, "I mean, under normal circumstances?"

“Okay.” Miss Minami was unfortunately persuaded by Uesugi Sosetsu: “Then you shouldn’t be so impatient.”

"Because she can't hold on any longer." Uesugi Sosetsu said softly.

"The grand ceremony will take three days to end, and the pain will last for three days. It only takes 30 minutes to get to Tokyo Bay by JR. It's winter now, and the water in Tokyo Bay is very cold. Soon everything will be fine. The pain of losing loved ones, the pain of losing support, the heart will no longer hurt, the body will no longer itch, everything will end under the water."

"She's been through enough pain."

This time, Watanabe Minami and Ikeda Erina didn't dare to respond.

Because they know that this might be true!
........................

Leaving the funeral scene to Miss Minami, Ikeda Erina drove Saito Asuka and Uesugi Sosetsu to the large industrial park in Shitagaya district to pack up their things.

In the car, Saito Asuka felt a little tired and curious. Although the pain of losing her sister made her depressed, the girl couldn't help but look at "that person" in her mouth frequently as he turned from fantasy into reality.

She no longer had any relatives in this world, and his appearance at this moment lit up the last ray of light in her world.

She really wanted to ask why he wanted to take her in.
She was even a little scared. She knew that she was very kawaii. Since she came to Tokyo, there had never been a shortage of love letters, gifts and chocolates in her shoe cabinet. Every boy in her class would blush when they saw her and would be extremely excited to talk to her.

Is he trying to kidnap me? Is he trying to...

The girl was a little scared and a little embarrassed, because her sister did mention to her whether she had ever considered being together forever... only with "that person". What should I say to him? Saito Asuka lowered her head, her pair of slender black stockings legs tightly clamped together, making a rustling sound, and her pair of Haruta uniform shoes on her black stockings feet were entangled awkwardly.

This pair of shoes was also bought by Uesugi Sosetsu, and Asuka Saito cherishes them very much. Even though the new shoes have been worn for about two months, the girl still looks very new due to her careful care.

The CRANTA KOMEIA cashmere scarf around his neck and the thick wooden tights on his legs are also his.

Although she had never met this man, his traces were everywhere in her life.

"How many things are there at home?" Uesugi Souyuki saw the girl looking at her frequently and asked, "Is one car enough to carry them all?"

"It's...enough." The girl said timidly and weakly, "I'm sorry to have made you worry, Mr. Uesugi."

"Oh, really? I heard that some people would pile up all kinds of stuff in their rooms." Uesugi Munen frowned. "It's good if there aren't too many things. Just put away the main things, such as Casio watches, Sony Walkman, and CK cosmetic bags."

The girl blushed after hearing these words, thinking, am I accepting too many things from others?
"...and a Toshiba laptop." Uesugi Muneyuki finally added: "You don't need to bring your futon. I'll buy you a new one."

"Wait! There is no Toshiba laptop at home!" Saito Asuka said instinctively.

"Yes, because I didn't send it." Uesugi Munen replied calmly: "So it's impossible."

Hmm……

Asuka Saito lowered her head in frustration. She felt an extremely strong sense of failure and loss, and she understood from just a few words from this man how much they owed him.

But even so, the girl still felt waves of warmth flowing into her heart. Through these things, she seemed to reconnect with this cold, desperate world where she had lost all her loved ones. At least this man, this man named Uesugi Sosetsu, could make her feel that there were still people who cared about her and understood her world.

Thank you, sis…

When she thought about this, Asuka Saito almost burst into tears again.

"I'm sorry, Asuka, I killed her." Uesugi Sosetsu felt the girl's sadness. In fact, he could sense the emotions of the people around him through the Aizen Myōō Dharma Image. The man was also a little sad when talking about this: "I must admit this. If we hadn't made an appointment to meet that night, she might not have died."

"This matter...is not your fault." Saito Asuka said in a soft voice.

Although the girl was not yet an adult and did not have much social experience, she could sense from his firm attitude and serious request that he really wanted to make amends. The resentment in her heart was soon moved and melted away: "I heard from Officer Tanaka that it was a medical accident."

Medical accident? Haha!
Uesugi Sosetsu closed his eyes and clenched his fists subconsciously.

This was a helpless compromise. If he didn't want the inner world to be exposed, he could only nod and admit that this was a medical accident.

It seems that this attack was huge and terrifying, but that is from the perspective of Uesugi Sosetsu. However, if we look at it from the perspective of a medical accident, it was just the death of two and a half people (Nakano Hisahito counts as half) and some accidents.

Medical accidents happen every day in Japan, and judging from the fact that corpses can be smashed by fire extinguisher cylinders afterwards, if the security guard had a small pistol, Yasue Nishijo might not be his match.

However, his action frightened the girl next to him. She quickly lowered her head and said nothing, for fear of making him angry.

Because this is the last person she can rely on in the whole world.

As it turned out, Uesugi Sosetsu's decisive decision saved Saito Asuka once again.

When Uesugi Sosetsu and others arrived at the large industrial complex in Setagaya, the industrial complex management office was already preparing to take over the houses.

The reason is very simple. Only adults can apply for a danchi, and minors are not eligible to apply for one. Therefore, Saito Asuka's danchi must be taken back by the management within a certain period of time, and after being cleaned up, it must be immediately allocated to other candidates who have applied for the danchi.

The rule of this residential area is to deposit twelve and pay one, and the deposit will be returned to Saito's account - if nothing unexpected happens, it will be transferred to the bank soon.

Asuka Saito knew nothing about this. She only knew that she was almost kicked out of the house she lived in, and because she was a minor, no Internet cafe or hotel would accept her, and she had no idea where she could go.

As for this, the danchi management office does not care. Rules are rules. They will not and cannot rent the danchi to minors without adult guarantees, otherwise they will be punished.

So when the girl packed up all her things and dragged her suitcase out of the housing estate, she saw Uesugi Sosetsu downstairs with one hand in his pocket, reaching out to her to say hello, Saito Asuka almost cried again.

Fortunately, he is here!
