Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 161: I miss you, a professor at Dongda University

In the scrap warehouse, everyone's eyes were fixed on the index finger-length fragment at the end of the steel clamp in Uesugi Sosetsu's hand.

This thing, is Mrs. Tsuda???
Principal Komiyama was stunned, Minister Furutani widened his eyes, and even Uesugi Muneyuki's grandfather, Uesugi Kuninori, raised his eyebrows.

In fact, Kuninori Uesugi didn't want to come today. As a 73-year-old professor re-employed by the University of Tokyo, he would have to retire in two years.

However, the University of Tokyo asked him to come because his status as an earl of the old nobility made him one of the few people who could intimidate Kitsurenawa, the head of the special search headquarters (Kitsurenawa was a viscount), and Uesugi Kuninori was currently using the remaining strength of his sixth generation to try to get his two grandsons into the University of Tokyo before he retired, so he had no choice but to accept the invitation of the president of the University of Tokyo.

Why does this happen?

Why? Grandpa raised his eyebrows. The top leaders of the University of Tokyo were all experienced and experienced people. When they saw Professor Tsuda's reaction, they knew that it was almost the same.

On the other side, everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department was stunned.

How did you find it?
There were more than a hundred barrels lined up on the other side of the warehouse! Each barrel was filled with colorful waste liquid! Moreover, the third-party agency designated by the local prosecutor checked the composition of each barrel of waste liquid and found nothing special!

Are you so good at finding corpses? Is your sense of smell so good? Uesugi Sosetsu, you!
However, the moment they found the evidence also meant that they would have to face off against Todai... head-on.

This is Todai!
For a moment, except for Ikeda Erena who was shouting "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah~" in a very cute way, Watanabe Minami, Kashiwagi Jin and Kosaka Shinichiro all had complicated expressions. Among them, Miss Minami subconsciously looked at the Tokyo University executives next to her.

But Uesugi Sosetsu didn't give them more time to think. He held the fragment and pointed at Professor Tsuda: "Professor Tsuda, if I'm not mistaken, this fragment should be a part of your wife, right?"

“…………” Professor Tsuda looked at Uesugi Sosetsu in silence.

"I have to say, Professor Tsuda, you are quite good at handling corpses." Uesugi Munesetsu carefully took a ziplock bag from the side and slowly stuffed the bone fragment into the bag. In front of everyone, Uesugi Munesetsu said, "The problem with using strong acid to handle corpses is that even if you have the most experience and the best handling methods, and know how to add weak acid hydrofluoric acid to strong acid to dissolve bones, it is still inevitable that a small amount of bone fragments will be left behind."

"Of course the testing agency could not detect any problems. This is wastewater from the Department of Agriculture and Forestry. It is reasonable to use strong acid and strong base reactions to measure elements. At the same time, since there is a high probability of microorganisms in the test sample, soap is used when washing hands, so it is also reasonable to find the presence of fat saponification."

"At the end of the day, testing agencies are just that, what can they test out of a pot of Nurgle soup?"

"But the only thing that can't be completely dissolved is this!" Uesugi Souyuki raised the ziplock bag in his hand: "Bone residue!"

"Professor Tsuda, as long as we send the bone residue to a testing agency, grind off the corroded outer part, and measure the DNA, we can find out that this bone came from Mrs. Tsuda." Uesugi Sosetsu said softly: "This is decisive evidence. As for where Mrs. Tsuda is now, I don't need to say more, right?"

Everyone looked towards the rows of large barrels in the corner with their pupils trembling, especially the white-haired president, professors, and directors of the University of Tokyo.

Mrs. Tsuda, easily soluble in waste liquid?

"Uesugi-kun, this may be a misunderstanding, and..." Principal Komiyayama spoke up, and he said carefully: "Also, even if it can be proved that this piece of bone belongs to Mrs. Tsuda, it can only prove..."

Uesugi Sosetsu ignored Principal Komiyayama and continued to yell at Professor Tsuda, "Are you still going to deny it? Professor Tsuda?!"

"Xedimura! Answer the principal's question!" Uesugi Kuninori yelled, "This is the University of Tokyo, you have to learn to respect others!"

"I don't care if this is the University of Tokyo! This is Tokyo! Tokyo is under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department! I am Uesugi Muneyuki, a special on-site consultant for the Special Investigation Division 1 of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department! This is the evidence I found!"

Uesugi Sosetsu's voice was louder than the old man's: "Is the University of Tokyo a concession that enjoys extraterritoriality? I am in the process of searching. Now, I am asking Professor Tsuda if this is your wife's bone fragment?!"

"Uesugi!" Minister Furutani roared.

"Watanabe!" Principal Komiyama yelled, "And Kashiwagi! Do you know what you are doing?"

The Metropolitan Police Department was trembling. The pressure from the University of Tokyo was so great that they could not resist. Even though the evidence was in the hands of Uesugi Sosetsu, the Metropolitan Police Department was still very weak and dared not respond.

"Professor Tsuda!" Uesugi Sosetsu continued to roar, "You are a professor at the University of Tokyo, but your salary account is empty. Your wife still owes more than 10 million yen in leverage margin to the overseas Singapore FX platform, and the property has been mortgaged. In recent years, Mrs. Tsuda has remitted 10 billion yen overseas! Tell me, what kind of job can allow you to earn billion yen in more than ten years? You are a professor at the University of Tokyo, not the president of a pachinko company!"

"Not only are the District Prosecutors Office investigating, our Metropolitan Police Department is also investigating! Professor Tsuda, if you don't admit it, today is not the end, it's just the beginning!"

“…………” Professor Tsuda still hung his head. He was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed: “Hahahaha~”

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha~"

The unusually silent and heavy scene was filled with his hearty laughter.

"I give up." The short and thin old man lowered his head for a while, then suddenly raised his head at a 45-degree angle and looked at the incandescent light above the warehouse. "Actually, I don't even know which bucket my wife's bones are in. I think I handled them cleanly enough. Uesugi-kun, you don't mind me calling you that, right? I know you have a bad reputation, but...how did you find them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department breathed a sigh of relief, and Miss Minami couldn't help but take the initiative to shake Ikeda Erena's hand.

Erina is still better. This woman can stare at Uesugi Sosetsu with an obsessive look throughout the whole process without having to think about anything else.

Miss Minami was almost scared to death!
Even her father didn't dare to yell at the president of the University of Tokyo! Uesugi Munen actually yelled at half of the University of Tokyo board of directors?

That's the University of Tokyo! The University of Tokyo that monopolizes half of Tokyo! Uesugi Sosetsu was silent for a few seconds.

In fact, as Professor Tsuda said, Mrs. Tsuda has been dissolved cleanly enough. Normally, a corpse damaged to this extent would not trigger the Dead Soul Contract.

However, Mrs. Tsuda's mad, dark hatred was still attached to the last body fragment, and was sensed by Uesugi Sosetsu. The few bone fragments at the bottom of the waste liquid barrel were still emitting the breath of the curse.

"I noticed it when the local prosecutors were checking." Uesugi Munen said slowly, "In fact, if the local prosecutors thoroughly tested each barrel one by one, they might still find it."

“Hahaha~” Professor Tsuda shook his head repeatedly: “Impossible, they don’t understand medicine like you do.”

After saying this, Professor Tsuda unloaded the last burden in his heart. He laughed loudly, looking happy and willing to admit defeat: "Although I have always known that you have a bad reputation, you can still find this out. Uesugi-kun, I am not wronged to fall into your hands."

"Wait! Wait!" Seeing that Professor Tsuda was about to admit it, his superior, the head of the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, Furutani, immediately interrupted Professor Tsuda: "Even if we find a bone fragment, what's the use? It can only prove that Mrs. Tsuda is dead, but it can't prove that Tsuda killed the person! Uesugi-kun, stop talking nonsense! Let me ask you, can this bone fragment prove that Tsuda is the murderer? If it can't prove it, are you ready? We will file a complaint against you!!! The East University will file a complaint against you!!!"

"Cricket is a medical major, but he doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. No wonder he can only study forensic medicine! Uesugi-kun, let me tell you, more than 70% of the hospital directors in Tokyo are graduates of our University of Tokyo. If you can't produce evidence of murder, you know the consequences!"

“If you say that Professor Tsuda killed someone, then bring out the evidence!”

"Evidence?" Uesugi Sosetsu sneered, "Plenty of it!"

"For example, Professor Tsuda reimbursed 6 million yen from the foundation for the salaries of the project team members in the PT project in six months, but in fact, the monthly salary distributed to the entire research team was only 4600 yen!"

"We initially thought that Professor Tsuda was greedy, but actually, he gave it to the entire Agriculture and Forestry Department, right?!"

Uesugi Muneyuki's voice drowned out Minister Furutani, and at this moment, Principal Komiyama and several other school directors all looked at Minister Furutani with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

You actually?
"I...I..." Minister Furutani's face turned pale.

What the hell does it have to do with me? Everyone is dividing the money, this is the custom, but this guy wants to get on the scale?

He is going to destroy the University of Tokyo and the entire Japan!
"Professor Tsuda, I respect you very much. According to our investigation, you are a good teacher and an accomplished master of biology. I can tell you directly that I have not found the murder weapon yet, but considering that you are a professor at the University of Tokyo..." Uesugi Sosetsu tried to persuade him.

"Enough!" Uesugi Kuninori's old voice shouted. Grandpa looked at Uesugi Sosetsu with pleading eyes, motioning him to stop talking. If you continue like this, how can I arrange for you and Sentokumaru to enter the University of Tokyo in the future?

"Enough!" Professor Tsuda also shouted, "Principal! Senior Kuninori! Minister! I admit everything about the accusations against Uesugi Sosetsu and the results of the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation! I was the one who killed him!"

The whole audience fell silent again.

"On the evening of May 5, I came home and heard Uchiko and Emi (Professor Tsuda's daughter) arguing about Keio tuition. I was very tired at the time, so I went back to my room to rest, but they argued more and more fiercely." Professor Tsuda cried a little, his facial features twisted into a ball of pain.

"Since Huimei was able to get into Keio, I must do my best to support her studies. So when Takako came back to her room, I told her that she should pay Huimei's tuition. But she scolded me, saying that I was a loser who only knew how to teach and do experiments every day and didn't care about the family at all. I only made more than 14 million a year, how could it be enough?"

"I simply cannot understand what Takako is saying. I have always handed over all my salary and allowances to her, but in recent months, the food at home has been getting worse and worse, and Takako doesn't do much housework. There are often dishes piled up in the sink, clothes in the laundry basket are often not washed, and the floor is always sticky. So I asked her what she wants? Isn't 14 million yen a year enough for her expenses? The whole family depends on my salary, so she should do housework well!"

"She said that this is the common property of the couple, and her expenses are family expenses. These are her legal income. She can spend it however she likes. It is none of my business. At the same time, there is no discussion about Huimei's tuition. Takako said that Huimei can apply for a student loan. The family will not support her to study at Keio Medical School."

"I felt that she was being unreasonable. I then remembered that I had kept 20 million yen in emergency funds at home, so I planned to use it to pay for Huimei's first year's tuition. But when I searched the house, I found that the money was gone!"

As Professor Tsuda recounted his story, everyone fell silent.

Especially the top leaders of the University of Tokyo. Originally, they looked at Professor Tsuda with hatred and fear in their eyes, but when Professor Tsuda told the truth, everyone just felt pity for him.

"So, you just..." Principal Komiya said sadly: "That shouldn't be..."

After Professor Tsuda discovered that the emergency reserve fund was missing, he questioned Mrs. Tsuda Takako. Mrs. Tsuda refused to answer and insulted him, so Professor Tsuda decided to check the accounts. As a result, he not only found that all his salary, extra income, allowances and gray income over the past decade had been used for foreign exchange speculation, but also because of the margin call, he owed a leverage margin of 120 million in the foreign exchange market.

Naturally, the 2000 million emergency reserve funds had already been used by Mrs. Tsuda to close positions.

Mrs. Tsuda was furious when she saw that her affair had finally been discovered. She grabbed a desk lamp and tried to hit him, saying, "Are you that great? It's just a small salary. Other professors can easily make 40 to 50 million a year, but you only make 20 million. I was really blind to marry a loser like you."

Being insulted like this, Professor Tsuda's rationality finally broke. He came across the fishing gear in the bedroom and took out a fishing line...

"Tsuda, stop talking!" Minister Furutani felt his heart aching, as there was a row of policemen standing opposite him!
"No way to win!!!" Professor Tsuda knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. He screamed in pain and pounded the ground with his fists. "I didn't want things to turn out like this, I didn't want things to turn out like this! I really want to do well in PT! I really want to give a speech at MIT!"

“Uesugi-kun is right. I’m a professor at the University of Tokyo, don’t I even have the courage to turn myself in? I will take all the responsibilities and all the problems! I killed someone. I’m no longer worthy of being a professor at the University of Tokyo. I’m no longer worthy of being a father or a husband. My life is over, it’s over, wahhhhh~”

After saying this, the professor from the University of Tokyo burst into tears and sobbed.
