Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 163, Stop Here

Uesugi Sosetsu had originally planned to leave, as he was a little tired after working at the Special Search Headquarters for several consecutive days.

Today he was a little emotional because this was a rare murder case without a corpse, and Uesugi Sosetsu's Death Soul Contract could not be triggered. He was almost relying on hard forensics and a little bit of deception to assist the Metropolitan Police Department in the investigation. Unlike in the past, he had no idea what was going on in this situation, so he behaved more radically and anxiously.

It was not until he sensed the pitiful amount of bone residue in the huge pile of waste liquid barrels that he finally returned to his familiar pattern.

His guess was true, and the inference that the Tokyo University professor killed his wife was also true!

But apart from that, he knew nothing about the matter. Even what exactly happened in Professor Tsuda's home was actually just Professor Tsuda's one-sided statement. It was his fierce attitude and his persuasion with a little respect and intimidation that made Professor Tsuda take the initiative to tell the "truth."

Is this the truth? Uesugi Sosetsu actually doesn't know.

Professor Tsuda is a man with a bit of academic cunning in him. Everything he says is true, but if you judge based on what he says, you will be misled by him and will never find the answer.

The Metropolitan Police Department has already won the game by getting him to plead guilty voluntarily.

Grandfather Uesugi Kuninori stopped Uesugi Munesetsu. As the head of the Yonezawa Uesugi family, the Uesugi family has always had extremely high family education and cultural levels, and a strong sense of justice. This has been mentioned in the previous article. After Uesugi Kuninori was admitted to the University of Tokyo in the 1960s, he spent a full fifty years in the country's highest institution of learning. However, in the face of overwhelming evidence, even without evidence of murder, Uesugi Kuninori still admitted the result and admitted that it was a problem of the University of Tokyo.

But that's where it ends. He came here specifically to tell Uesugi Sosetsu that Professor Tsuda has pleaded guilty and that's where the matter ends.

"I understand, Grandpa." Uesugi Munen did not give a direct answer. He just said to Uesugi Kuninori very respectfully: "Grandpa, I'm just a forensic doctor. What I have to do is to make things clear. I am a specially hired on-site consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department. I am only responsible for criminal matters. As for other matters, they are not my responsibility, but the responsibility of this department head. You can talk to her if you have anything to say."

After saying that, Uesugi Sosetsu introduced Ikeda Erena and Watanabe Minami to Uesugi Kuninori.

His action startled the two beautiful policewomen behind him.

Uesugi Muneyuki's grandfather, the head of the Yonezawa Uesugi family, the earl of the old noble family, and the re-employed professor of the University of Tokyo!

Both Erena and Miss Minami were a little flustered. Erena was the dumber one. Before Uesugi Sosetsu could introduce herself, Erena immediately came to Uesugi Kuninori and bowed deeply. She was nervous and terrified. "Hello, my name is Ikeda Erena, and I'm a colleague of Uesugi-kun. It's an honor to meet you, Professor Uesugi!"

Uesugi Kuninori raised his eyebrows and began to observe the tall policewoman.

She has big, majestic eyes, short hair dyed dark brown, and a tall figure without any excess fat.

Compared with the overall larger version of the policewoman's uniform, her limbs look particularly slender, and her plump breasts that push the fabric into a round shape to emphasize that she is a "female" and her slightly large and round buttocks are suitable for childbirth. Any young man will definitely be fascinated by her very well-proportioned miracle figure, which is within the reach of grandpa.

She doesn't look like a Japanese, or at least not a pure-blood, and she doesn't seem very smart either. At least Uesugi Kuninori doesn't like her sharp, clear, yet stupid eyes.

The grandfather recalled the standing positions after their previous meeting, and the few small expressions and interactions between his grandson and Ikeda, and he had an idea in his mind.

Probably it has been done, but her grandson didn't pay much attention to her.

"Oh, you are the female police officer from Otsuka Police Station that Yuxian invited last time, right? Nice to meet you." Uesugi Kuninori suddenly felt that there was no need to be polite and turned his gaze to Miss Minami.

Miss Minami is wearing a navy blue police tube skirt. Her graceful and youthful body curves can be faintly seen under the simple clothing. The neckline is slightly bulging, which is obviously two sizes smaller than Ikeda's. Under the loose waist of the police uniform, she has a slender waist that can be held in one hand. She has a pair of sweet almond eyes, which are delicate and charming. Her manners are flawless. Compared with Ikeda, her figure is a little petite, but perfectly proportioned, a natural model.

Uesugi Kuninori fell in love with Miss Minami at first sight. He also knew something about Uesugi Muneyuki, so he smiled and nodded actively, "She is the granddaughter of former National Railway President Watanabe Kazuo, the Minami from Watanabe, right?"

"I am honored to meet you, and I am deeply humbled!" Miss Minami knew that this man was a real big shot, so she was very humble.

As mentioned earlier, Uesugi Kuninori has an extremely noble bloodline. His grandfather has multiple bloodline buffs from the old feudal lords, the Tokugawa Shogun, the Satsuma clan, the court nobles, and the meritorious nobles after the Meiji Restoration. As long as he is alive, the Japanese upper class will give him face.

"You are very welcome. I didn't expect that the princess of Watanabe Eiji would come here in person." Uesugi Kuninori nodded. His grandfather's obvious different attitude made Uesugi Sosetsu raise his eyebrows and noticed that Ikeda Erina looked a little lost.

"My daughter is not talented, but thanks to Mr. Muneyuki's care, I have made some achievements. I am so grateful that I don't know what to say~" Miss Minami's every move made Uesugi Kuninori very satisfied: "She is so beautiful. Watanabe Eiji is so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter. I am Uesugi Kuninori, Xuesong's grandfather. You can just call me Grandpa Uesugi from now on."

"Yes, Grandpa Uesugi, please take care of me." Miss Minami was delighted and spoke even more gently.

"Xue Song Wan has caused you a lot of trouble, right? I'm sorry, but our family is a thousand-year-old family after all, and our lifestyle and education habits may be very different from yours. It's normal to have conflicts occasionally. If there is any inconvenience, just point it out to Xue Song Wan. If that doesn't work, you can come to Dongda University to find me directly."

"Thank you very much!"

Miss Minami looked at Uesugi Sosetsu with pride, indicating, "Have you been obedient?"

Uesugi Sosetsu rolled her eyes at Miss Minami and didn't bother to pay attention to this guy who was using chicken feathers as a token of authority.

"Ah."

Uesugi Kuninori nodded to Minami and left.

It was already night time, and Uesugi Sosetsu and others had to rush back to the Metropolitan Police Department to report the situation. However, because it was getting off work, there was heavy traffic. Ikeda Erena, who was driving in the front, listened carefully to the conversation between Miss Minami and her partner in the back seat.

"Uesugi, I think we can stop here." Miss Minami leaned back in her chair tiredly. "You don't really want to investigate the academic corruption at the University of Tokyo, do you?"

"Why not?" Uesugi Sosetsu said with a smile.

“Hey!!!” Miss Minami immediately stretched out her small hand, grasped Uesugi Sosetsu’s big hand, and pinched it hard: “Are you crazy? Even the district prosecutor knows that they can only investigate the University of Tokyo against individuals or a single project! Don’t think that you can overthrow the University of Tokyo just because you can make the University of Tokyo give in! I can tell you that I only stood by your side this time because I risked my life. When I think of the previous situation, my chest still feels stuffy…”

"Okay, okay, I get it!" Uesugi Sosetsu squeezed Watanabe Minami's little hand, smiled and shook his head: "I said, I'm just a forensic doctor, I focus on the criminal part, as for the part about academic corruption, it's not my business, and I'm not interested in it either."

"Oh, you really scared me to death." Miss Minami gave Uesugi Sosetsu a coquettish look and punched Uesugi Sosetsu's thigh hard with her little fist: "Did you do this on purpose?"

"No, actually, I do want to continue investigating this case." Uesugi Munenyuki frowned, "Because there are still a few suspicious points in this case."

"What's suspicious?" Erina, who was driving in front, liked to listen to Uesugi Sosetsu talk about the case the most.

"First, there is the issue of FX accounts. In fact, according to the investigation of the Second Investigation Division, Professor Tsuda is an honest, upright and stingy person. He is not like some Tokyo University professors who are good at making money. His annual salary after tax is 1400 million, plus various allowances, research projects, visiting scholars and lectures, his annual income is about 2200 million. However, the total amount of money remitted by Mrs. Tsuda exceeds 10 billion. Even if we calculate it based on the professor's income for more than ten years, there is still a shortfall of to million." Uesugi Munen said, "This is the first suspicious point."

"Then there's the issue of how to deal with the corpse. There's no doubt that Professor Tsuda himself has a wealth of professional knowledge. Although he killed someone in the heat of the moment, he was very calm and clear-headed afterwards. The plan he developed to dissolve the corpse was also relatively thorough... Even so, it's very difficult for an adult male to complete all the procedures within three days... I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's too extreme." Uesugi Sosetsu raised his second finger, "This is the second suspicious point, and this leads to a question. Minami, Erina, have you noticed that there's a person who has a very close relationship with Professor Tsuda and his wife, but he always disappears from the sight of the Metropolitan Police Department and the District Public Prosecutors Office, and stays out of it the whole time?"

"What do you mean?" Erina didn't understand.

"Think about it again, Master Erina, how many people are there in the Tsuda family?" Uesugi Sosetsu had no choice but to continue reminding.

"You mean... Professor Tsuda's son!" Miss Minami immediately understood.

Yes, Professor Tsuda’s son! Erina also suddenly realized that Professor Tsuda’s family of four had no sign of his son from beginning to end!
"Correct." Uesugi Sosetsu snapped his fingers, his face serious. "So I can't be sure whether Professor Tsuda committed the crime alone or with the help of someone else. However, the surveillance and on-site forensics found so far do not show any evidence to prove that Professor Tsuda's son was involved. So I can't say for sure about this matter."

"But maybe grandpa is right. We don't have any evidence to prove that Professor Tsuda committed murder. If we continue to reopen the investigation, Professor Tsuda might change his confession. Don't forget that many of our inferences were obtained illegally, such as asking you to play the role of Mrs. Tsuda to confuse the public, and Kashiwagi taking bubble baths to get information from female students. If we really have to reinvestigate, our evidence is actually untenable. I even used some tricks to get Professor Tsuda to plead guilty." Uesugi Sosetsu smiled and said, "Fortunately, he is a proud, self-respecting scholar-type professor with his own moral standards. If it was a bureaucratic professor like Dean Ukai, he would never admit it, and this case would not be solved today."

"So, I agree that this is the end of it." Uesugi Sosetsu shook his head self-deprecatingly: "Not to mention that my grandfather said it himself... It's a pity that Professor Tsuda's wealth and whether he has any helpers may become a mystery forever. The limit of my ability as a forensic doctor will stop here..."

Before he could finish his words, Uesugi Muneyuki felt Miss Minami's flawless body fall into his arms. Her sweet face was full of affection, and she said in a trembling voice in his ear: "Don't blame yourself, Uesugi-kun. You can face the entire University of Tokyo independently, rely on unparalleled professional knowledge and insight to find the bone fragments, and force Professor Tsuda to confess. It's already amazing! Do you know how much you have accomplished?"

"You are a hero, a hero of the Metropolitan Police Department, a hero of the people." Miss Minami suppressed her shame and said firmly in Uesugi Sosetsu's ear: "You are also my hero!"
