Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 146: The Special Mission Department is established
Miss Minami was badly traumatized by the traffic suicide case last year, which made her very depressed for a while and earned her the nickname "Female Tengu" among her subordinates.

But Miss Minami felt aggrieved. In her opinion, all the judgments she made were correct.

I'm just imitating Uesugi-kun's method of solving cases!

In the traffic suicide case, did the elderly female victim die in a car accident? No.

Can the autopsy and post-mortem examination prove that she died in a car accident? Of course not.

Do the children of the deceased behave strangely? Of course they do.

So Miss Minami naturally concluded that there was something wrong with this case and wanted to overturn it and re-investigate it.

Unexpectedly, the old man actually committed suicide!

Now she was complained about, disliked by her subordinates, and spent a lot of extra budget, earning her a bad reputation.

Why? On what basis?

Isn't Uesugi always brave enough to make judgments like this? Why is it that I am like this?

As a control group, the Metropolitan Police Department successfully solved two murder cases during this period without Uesugi Souji. One was the murder of his wife by a well-known entrepreneur and the other was the accidental killing of a co-worker by a factory worker after drinking. Both cases were solved by Inspector Kashiwagi Hitoshi of the Third Department of the First Investigation Division.

Inspector Kashiwagi Jin is also very interesting. Ever since he suffered a severe setback at the hands of Uesugi Sosetsu last time, he has become a completely different person. He no longer cares about his family or his personal life. He spends all day at Sakuradamon, devoting himself to his career, which is really impressive.

However, this guy's method of handling cases is still the same old way - hard-core reasoning and stubbornly confronting those involved.

He just didn't believe it. He didn't believe that without classical reasoning, he could not defeat the autopsy reasoning!
Miss Minami couldn't stand the fact that Kashiwagi Jin was still being stubborn, but she couldn't do anything about it for the moment.

Finally, April came, and Uesugi Sosetsu graduated and passed the medical qualification exam.

Meanwhile, at the Metropolitan Police Department, a series of plans regarding the establishment of a new special mission department have all been approved, and now only one problem remains.

"Father, I need to improve the treatment of Uesugi-kun and Okada." Miss Minami pouted and sat across from Watanabe Eiji. "The Special Mission Department is an extraordinary agency. We need to enjoy the same or even better treatment as formal agencies like the Investigation Division. But if we increase the budget again, the Ministry of Police will not approve it."

"I know that the monthly salary budget that the Metropolitan Police Department can offer to Uesugi-kun is 18 yen per month, but he is now majoring in medicine. According to his qualifications, his monthly salary should be around 32 yen." Watanabe Eiji nodded, and the shrewd Superintendent of Police said, "And you don't have complete control over him, am I right?"

"Yeah." A hint of worry appeared on Miss Minami's pretty and sweet face. She needed to fight for better treatment and more power for Uesugi Sosetsu to prove her necessity to Uesugi Sosetsu.

The scandal made Miss Minami feel a strong sense of crisis. She suddenly realized that without her father's support and the weapon of Uesugi Muneyuki, she would have nothing. Her reputation plummeted after just one misjudgment, and she had to rely on her father to settle it. What would happen if she made another mistake? She didn't dare to think about it.

"Then you said that the Ministry of Police will not approve the budget?" Watanabe Eiji leaned back in the soft armchair, the Superintendent of Police thinking about the problem.

As the director with real power, he can of course directly issue orders by force, and the police department dare not disobey them. However, Watanabe Eiji still wants to move up, and he does not want to leave a stain on his extremely impressive resume as superintendent general. If he can follow the rules, it is best to follow the rules, because he himself is the biggest beneficiary, guardian and executor of the rules.

"Yes, the Ministry of Police believes that salaries should be set in accordance with the Police Act and the Public Service Act." Miss Minami nodded.

"How much do you want to add for Uesugi-kun?" asked Eiji Watanabe.

"At least increase it by 100%. If Uesugi becomes a special consultant in the Special Mission Department, then he will definitely lose most of his autopsy work and income. I have to find a place to make up for it for him."

"100%?" Watanabe Eiji nodded, then smiled and said, "But you don't want to be too conspicuous? For example, you and Okada are also planning to give a proper raise?"

"Yes."

"Very good... Since Uesugi-kun himself works in Tokyo, let's start by increasing the housing allowance and city subsidies for the special mission department. The allowance is an expense, not a salary." Watanabe Eiji said first.

“Okay, I’ll take note of it.” Miss Minami immediately took notes.

"Then we can introduce special degree allowances. Okada graduated from the University of Tokyo, you graduated from Waseda University, and Uesugi Sosetsu graduated from Tokyo Medical and Dental University. You are all students from international Class A universities, which can also improve the overall image. The police department will not object to this." Watanabe Eiji then smiled and said, "What is Ikeda's academic qualifications?"

"It's a correspondence high school." Miss Minami couldn't help but laugh. "It's not even as good as Akita University."

This will exclude Ikeda from the scope of salary increase.

"Haha, if you want to become a senior civil servant, you need to go to a second-rate university like Meiji University and Chuo University. But for Ikeda, Akita University is too high." Watanabe Eiji said meaningfully, "Being too smart is sometimes not a good thing. There are some things she doesn't need to know, and it's not good for her to know. Do you think the police department hasn't received enough letters of accusation?"

"She won't report it now. She should be happy now." Miss Minami hummed meaningfully: "Since I arranged it, Uesugi has never gone out to date other women."

"very good."

The father and daughter smiled at each other.

"How much is left?" Watanabe Eiji stopped there.

"Only 40% left." Watanabe Minami nodded.

"Very good, Uesugi Sosetsu doesn't have a car, right? Then we will add a transportation subsidy to facilitate his daily commute. Then there is the meal subsidy. He has a big appetite, so we allow him to order extra meals. Each of you can enjoy this... How much more is there?"

"18%."

"Uesugi-kun's work is very hard, and the work that often touches corpses is considered field work, so it should be paid overtime. In addition, as a forensic doctor, you should be entitled to special consolation money for handling corpses." "Only Uesugi-kun can get this money, because he is the only one in the entire special mission department who handles corpses."

Watanabe Eiji couldn't help but laugh: "If the forensic doctors in the Identification Department have any objections, then as long as they can show strength comparable to that of Uesugi-kun, this department will not be stingy."

"If they can do that, this department will usher in a golden age." Miss Minami finished taking notes and smiled brightly, "The budget report will look much better this way. Our special mission department has only raised its overall salary by 6%, so the Ministry of Police will definitely approve it!"

"But there is still a question, about the purchase of equipment..." Miss Minami asked tentatively: "Can you upgrade it a little bit?"

"I can't interfere with the equipment. The decision lies with the Security Department of the National Police Agency. You should purchase it according to the standards for ordinary criminal police first. If you can handle more cases later, I will talk to Onoda." Watanabe Eiji thought to himself that his daughter really has a big appetite!
The criminal police actually want to be equipped with a semi-automatic rifle?
Are you kidding! ! !
"Well, let's do this for now."

Just like that, in the last week of April, the Special Investigation Unit of the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department was officially established!

Chief of the Special Department: Watanabe Minami Police Department.

Acting Chief of the Special Mission Department: Masayoshi Okada, Police Department.

Specially appointed on-site forensic consultant of the Special Mission Department: Uesugi Munenyuki specializes in medicine.

Member of the Special Mission Department: Patrol Chief Erina Ikeda (seconded, informal member).

Yes, strictly speaking, the Special Mission Department has only three official members and one seconded member.

The team just opened, four people, three guns.

But no matter what, this team was finally set up under the attention of the public.

It will take time to test the extent to which it can play a role in the entire police system.

………………

May 2th, the 5nd year of the Uesugi calendar, at the Honfuji Police Station in Bunkyo Ward.

Terai, the head of the Criminal Division of Fuji Police Station, is calling all the officers together for a meeting.

"Kojima, this is not my cup, and what I want is barley tea, not oolong tea!" An older detective was complaining.

"Sorry, sorry!" The young female clerk police officer was frantically trying to distinguish the water cups on the large plate.

"Hurry up, the meeting is about to start! Barley tea and oolong tea are not important, stop wasting time!" Section Chief Terai complained: "You can't even serve tea and pour water, what else can you do after passing the civil service exam?"

The female clerk police officer blushed at what the section chief said, but she really couldn't tell who the ten or so cups belonged to.

"Forget it, let's report first." Section Chief Terai signaled to his subordinates.

"I..." One of the subordinates, who was in his thirties, was about to stand up to report, but he didn't hold the folder properly, and the papers scattered all over the floor.

"Oh my god, are you kidding me?" Section Chief Terai was disappointed with his useless subordinates. "It's because of you guys that the arrest rate of the branch office this month is still below target... The same goes for the headquarters. We finally found a man named Uesugi Muneyuki who can help, but now he's sent to the headquarters! You won't help with the autopsy, and you're asking the branch office to follow the headquarters' crime-solving laws?"

"Do these people in this department know who our branch police are? If it weren't for Uesugi's help, the investigation team would only have a 45% crime-solving rate with so many elites in this department. Now that Uesugi has raised the crime-solving rate to 80%, they want us to reach 45% as well. Isn't this a joke?"

Section Chief Terai threw a stack of documents on the table.

Last month, the crime clearance rate of the Honfuji Police Station was 19.8%.

At this moment, a short, bald, middle-aged man with glasses and a bookish look came outside, as well as a young woman in a black dress and sunglasses.

"Excuse me, Chief Terai, it seems that this gentleman and his daughter have important matters to discuss with the Criminal Investigation Division." said the female clerk police officer who led the way.

"We are in a meeting, can you please wait in the reception area over there?" Section Chief Terai was very annoyed. He felt that the middle-aged man was irritating and thought, where did this country bumpkin come from? Please stop causing trouble for our police station.

"My wife is missing." Who would have thought that the middle-aged man simply ignored Section Chief Terai and just said to himself: "I'm here to report a crime."

"Please wait there..." Section Chief Terai was speechless when he heard the news.

It’s over, the crime clearance rate is going to drop again.

Think of a way and suggest that he not file a case.

"I'm Daisuke Tsuda, a professor of biology at the University of Tokyo, and my wife Tsuda Takako is missing."

When he heard the key words like "University of Tokyo" and "professor", Section Chief Terai jumped up from the ladder as if his butt was bitten, and his originally irritable face was immediately filled with a smile.

"It's Professor Tsuda from the University of Tokyo! Please come this way..."

"How can I help you?"
