Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 143: A new relationship that has attracted much attention?
The TV station undoubtedly exaggerated what the paparazzi had taken. The only photos the paparazzi could really show off were of Uesugi Sosetsu and Shirakawa Mai entering the Konno couple's wild vegetable tempura restaurant one after the other, and of them going up Mount Haruna in a Mercedes-Benz to pay homage to the Haruna Shrine and coming out together the next day.

Normally, this bit of entertainment content wouldn't be considered explosive news.

But when it comes to the national actress Mai Shirakawa from Soul Agency and the new legendary forensic doctor Sosetsu Uesugi, it is enough to be called explosive.

Senior Mai is a very special existence in the entertainment industry. First of all, she is the head of the Kanto Shrine Alliance. No one knows how much real estate and various invisible assets she has under her name alone (some people estimate that it is at least eleven digits, but most of them are fixed assets, and there is not that much cash). As the leader of the entire Kanto Shintoism, she can decide in many places whether local forces and local autonomous organizations will cooperate with each other, and whether local politicians can be elected as city and county councilors with just one sentence.

No one in the entertainment industry dares to mess with this kind of person, let alone the political and business leaders. They have to consider whether it is worth offending the entire Kanto shrine power.

At the same time, Senior Mai has been involved in many scandals since her debut. No one even knows where she lives. The paparazzi have tried their best but cannot even take a photo of her in her daily life. Sometimes she stays away from home when she is on location. During the entire shooting period, the paparazzi have been squatting downstairs of the hotel 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but there is not even a shot of her wearing casual clothes to buy bread at a convenience store.

He is simply a master of anti-boxing!
But now, such a national goddess who is a master of anti-boxing has actually been involved in a scandal! And it is with her junior brother Uesugi Munen who was broadcast live on Fuji TV last time?
If we were to ask who was the fastest rising and most popular figure in Kanto, Japan in the second half of last year, it would undoubtedly be Uesugi Munesetsu. This descendant of Uesugi Kenshin of the Yonezawa Uesugi clan became famous thanks to the Fujidai case and the Chiba Prefecture serial murder case, and made the Japanese realize that there is a way to be a forensic doctor.

The old noble family has its own topic traffic, and Uesugi Munesetsu has a good appearance, not to mention that he is also quite talented.

There were bursts of exclamations from the VIP room of the racecourse. Even Criminal Minister Mao Li Takayoshi and others couldn't help but exclaim, saying that these two people have such a good relationship?

Watanabe Eiji frowned calmly and glanced at his daughter.

Didn't you promise me that you could control Uesugi Sosetsu? How did he end up with Shirakawa Mai?

If that happens, the plan will have to be changed.

However, the power of the Superintendent General has grown in recent months, and his cunning has deepened as he holds a high position. He carefully read the news and found that it seemed to be all hearsay without any solid content. Moreover, during the last live broadcast, Shirakawa Mai and Uesugi Sosetsu agreed in front of the camera to go back to Gunma together to eat Konno's grandparents' wild vegetable tempura. Doesn't this make sense?

interesting.

As expected, Watanabe Eiji noticed that his daughter was like the disbanded girl band Abe Henka, dejected and silent, so he took the initiative to say, "Oh? Wouldn't it be great if Uesugi-kun could develop a relationship with Shirakawa Mai? This would make it easier for the Metropolitan Police Department to intervene in the affairs of the Kanto region in the future."

"Huh?!!" Watanabe Eiji's words shocked Detective Minister Mori and Inspector Okada beside him.

Wait! What do you mean?
Haven't you always planned to take Uesugi Muneyuki as your son-in-law? Why are you supporting this golden couple now?
What is the director trying to do?

But Minister Mori and Inspector Okada were not the most surprised. The most surprised was Watanabe Minami.

Miss Minami almost instinctively wanted to ask her father for help.

She actually dared to attack Uesugi-kun. She is no longer an ordinary national actress. She must be dealt with severely!
However, she never expected that her father would not support her.

The clever Miss Minami immediately realized that for a Superintendent like Watanabe Eiji, there was no need to offend an entertainment industry celebrity like Shirakawa Mai, who had a national-level fan base, hundreds of thousands of likes on her Instagram posts, and had close ties with local shrines. This would do him more harm than good.

However, if my father doesn’t support me and I lose Uesugi-kun, then I will have nothing, right?

Everything is...gone?
Miss Minami felt that her bright future had now turned bleak!

The face of the Metropolitan Police Department stared at Shirakawa Mai on TV with hatred and humiliation, gritting his teeth.

Shirakawa Mai is the enemy!

I will never admit defeat, absolutely!
A strong sense of crisis surged in her heart, and Miss Minami suddenly realized with fear that she might have nothing.

…………

As the news broke and the nation was discussing it, Uesugi Sosetsu returned to Tokyo.

This year, the Yonezawa Uesugi family did not celebrate the New Year in Tokyo. Instead, grandpa, father, mother, and brother Uesugi Sadanori all returned to the Yonezawa Uesugi Shrine to celebrate the New Year.

Because Uesugi Muneyuki was invited by senior sister Mai, he did not go back, and the head of the family Uesugi Kuninori did not force him.

From this we can see that there is still a difference between the eldest son and the second son.

Although they had fallen into decline and no longer held the position of feudal lord they once were, the Yonezawa Uesugi clan was still extremely popular in Japan's northeastern region. In addition to their historical and cultural ties with Uesugi Kenshin, the main reason was that after the Meiji Restoration, the Yonezawa Uesugi clan did a very important thing: they took the money and reserve funds that the Yonezawa clan had accumulated over generations since the reforms of Uesugi Haruken, and after deducting the part for their own family expenses, they directly distributed all of it to the former samurai who had lost their source of livelihood. It is said that the total amount was more than 17 taels.

This was a great good policy for the whole of Japan at that time, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Yonezawa Uesugi clan was a lesson for the Chinese clan in this regard.

Later, the head of the Yonezawa Uesugi family, Shigenori Uesugi, was dissatisfied with the officials in his old territory who were of samurai origin and levied heavy taxes. So he petitioned for the people as a local representative and submitted an application to Tokyo, requesting changes to the official system and cleaning up the corrupt administration. This caused dissatisfaction among local officials. Tokyo sent people to check and found that he was very popular among the local people. The Tokyo government, fearing that the old daimyo's power would resurge, directly dismissed him from his post.

After being hit by the official iron fist, the Yonezawa Uesugi family was forced to transform into a scholarly family, but relying on the good deeds accumulated by their ancestors and their generous donations to the people since the Meiji Restoration, the family is extremely influential in Yamagata Prefecture. The Uesugi family donated a large number of Uesugi family treasures to Yonezawa City on the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Yonezawa City, and also transferred the ownership of the old Earl Uesugi residence known as Tsurumei-kan to Yonezawa City for management. They are very famous in Yamagata Prefecture. If someone in the family wants to go into politics, no matter where else, in Yamagata Prefecture, as long as the locals see the surname "Uesugi", most of them will vote for the candidate.

As soon as Uesugi Muneyuki returned to Tokyo, he immediately received a call from his father Uesugi Hironori: "Yuzumaru? Are you really dating Shirakawa Mai?"

"That's not true. It's just the agreement we made last time." Uesugi Sosetsu said helplessly.

"Oh, that's good. Actually, father doesn't object to your relationship with Shirakawa. Just think it over carefully. After all... the Uesugi Shrine in Yonezawa is also a member of the Kanto Shrine Alliance! Hehe~" Uesugi Yuken laughed a few times, and then said mysteriously: "I just think that you two may not be suitable... In this case, you should know how to deal with the media?"

"I understand." Uesugi Sosetsu nodded with a smile. As the director of the Tokyo Metropolitan Cultural Exchange Center, his father often taught Uesugi Sosetsu how to deal with the media.

Sure enough, when Uesugi Muneyuki returned to Tokyo and appeared in front of the public, a large group of reporters who smelled blood immediately blocked him! "Hello, Mr. Uesugi, I am XX from the Asahi Shimbun. What do you think about the scandal between you and Shirakawa-san in Weekly Bunshun?"

"Uesugi-san, this is the Yomiuri Shimbun. May I ask if you really stayed overnight with Shirakawa-san for two days?"

"Mr. Uesugi, this is Weekly Sports. When do you plan to announce your relationship with Ms. Mai Shirakawa?"

"I'm Friday. What do you think about the photo of you two in love going to Haruna Shrine together? Did you hold a secret wedding?"

"This is Weekly Modern. May I ask when Uesugi-san plans to get married with a baby?"

"Hello, this is Weekly Bunshun. What does Yonezawa Uesugi think of your new relationship?"

Uesugi Sosetsu was facing dozens of cameras alone, and the reporters around him were almost stuffing the microphone into Uesugi Sosetsu's mouth.

But Uesugi Sosetsu was very calm.

Normally, he should have just kept quiet and said nothing, since he had already signed a contract with Senior Mai and secretly stamped her with the Love Mark.

But seeing how enthusiastic these reporters were, Uesugi Sosetsu felt it would be bad if he didn't say anything.

These media outlets just want to make a big news out of whatever they see.

Moreover, Uesugi Sosetsu knew that this was done on purpose by senior Mai. If she didn't want to be photographed, the paparazzi would have tried every means to capture her. So it was obvious why this scandal was exposed, and senior Mai's thoughts were obvious.

Hironori Uesugi taught Sosetsu Uesugi how to deal with the media when he didn't want to speak: either just remain silent throughout the whole process and indicate to them that he "had no comment".

Or it’s another routine.

Uesugi Sosetsu decisively chose the second option: "You know, this is an agreement between me and Senior Mai. I'm sure you all know that we are alumni and once attended the same middle school. This is a long-awaited class reunion, but I have to admit that she left a deep impression on me."

Uesugi Sosetsu's answer was not explosive enough, which disappointed the reporters around him. Everyone knows that you are alumni! Everyone knows that you once agreed to go back to the school for dinner together during the Fuji TV student broadcast.

This is not what we want!

"Mr. Uesugi, Mr. Uesugi!" There was a lot of noise all around, and every reporter rushed to ask all kinds of strange and trap questions.

However, Uesugi Sosetsu started his performance.

No matter what questions the reporter asked, he just talked about his own questions.

"That's not the point. The point is, Mai-senpai and I are alumni. We once made an agreement in front of the camera, so we had this reunion. I was deeply impressed by her performance."

"I think what's more important is that Mai-senpai and I are alumni. We made an agreement before, so we have this reunion."

"The key point is that Senior Mai and I are schoolmates. We used to..."

"My opinion on your question is that Senior Mai and I are schoolmates..."

"I must emphasize what you said. Senior Mai and I are schoolmates..."

No matter what weird and tricky questions the reporters asked, Uesugi Sosetsu's attitude was that they asked their questions and he answered his own questions. No matter what they asked, Uesugi Sosetsu was just repeating himself.

After repeating it dozens of times, Uesugi Sosetsu successfully fought his way through the media reporters.

The media reporters had never seen such a difficult young man and were a little disappointed for a moment.

But this does not affect their speculation.

On that day, the headline on the front page of the news was "Repeated readings cannot hide the love, calling the senior sister directly shows the ambiguity - Is the day of Shirakawa Mai's golden screen approaching? "

The news completely exploded in society, and the fan circle quickly split into two camps - one camp was in favor of the relationship between the two, but hoped that Senior Mai would not get married so early and not fade out of the entertainment industry after marriage. This camp was smaller in number.

The other faction issued a death threat to Uesugi Munezuki, warning him not to touch their goddess senior, saying that he was not worthy to be compared with her. The extremists in this faction even formed the "Shirakawa Mai Defense Line", vowing to monitor the movements of the two, interfere with the development of their relationship, and never let them develop into a romantic relationship, and hold a Golden Screen Press Conference!

However, Uesugi Sosetsu didn't care about the outside public opinion. What really bothered him was his vibrating cell phone.

"Uesugi? What's going on? I'll be back from Fukuoka soon, can you wait for me?" - Erena Ikeda
"Uesugi-kun? Can you explain the news? I really want to know what happened. I'm very interested!" - Minami Watanabe.

And, the housekeeper Saito Asuka, who knelt in front of him to welcome him home.

"Welcome back, Mr. Uesugi!"
