Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 166, I want him!
Watanabe Eiji knew this person.

Ukyo Sugishita, 56 years old, graduated from the Faculty of Law of the University of Tokyo. He joined the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division at an early age to work on economic crimes. He is intelligent, calm, and has strong execution ability. He is not tall and always has a sleek and shiny slicked back hair. He likes to make black tea. He was married, but had no children, and later divorced his wife.

Ukyo Sugishita initially achieved great results in the Second Investigation Section, but his colleagues did not think highly of him. To quote the current head of the Second Investigation Section, Daiki Kaji, Ukyo Sugishita's investigation style is "polite but never rude". He spends all day testing the boundaries between legal and illegal searches. People like him should be working in public security rather than as a criminal police officer.

However, even so, Sugishita Ukyo still solved a large number of difficult cases. Like Uesugi Sosetsu, he was a very troublesome but capable person.

An important reason why Ukyo Sugishita was promoted to Superintendent of Police at the age of 56 was that in the "Ambassador's Residence Hijacking Incident" a few years ago, Ukyo Sugishita was seconded to the Emergency Special Investigation Headquarters, but he refused the order to storm at the critical moment and insisted on negotiating with the robbers, which almost led to the failure of the mission and seriously injured the relatives and friends of the big man.

In an organization like the Metropolitan Police Department, whether or not orders are executed at critical moments is a very important consideration. Because of this incident, Ukyo Sugishita not only lost his position in the Second Investigation Section and was demoted to the Life Safety Section, but was also demoted from Inspector to Assistant Inspector.

Therefore, Ukyo Sugishita, who was in the professional group of the Faculty of Law of the University of Tokyo, did not become the head of the Life Safety Division until he was 56 years old. He sat on the bench in the Life Safety Division for almost 30 years and was called the "Island Weirdo".

"I know him." Watanabe Eiji put down the file and the Superintendent frowned. Sugishita Ukyo is even older than him. After sitting on the bench for 30 years, can he come back to take up such an important position as the Chief of the First Investigation Section?

"Don't worry, believe me, Ukyo is a very capable person. Moreover, our police have forced the University of Tokyo to this point in this case, so we should also express our apologies appropriately. Isn't there a press conference later? Uesugi-kun will definitely speak frankly at the press conference." Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda said lightly: "My brother is from the University of Tokyo, Chief Kaneko is from the University of Tokyo, you and I are both from the University of Tokyo. If we can make the head of the first section also from the University of Tokyo, I believe it can convey the sincerity of the Metropolitan Police Department, right?"

"The senior executives he offended are now dead. I think we can give him another chance." Onoda said sincerely, "I suggest you take a look at his file. Apart from his love of going to the restaurant and his lingering relationship with his ex-wife, his file is very clean."

"Do you admire him so much?" Watanabe Eiji put down the file.

"It is the duty of the police to obey orders. On this point, he is wrong and I am right. However, the first principle of the police organization should be to protect the health, life and property of the people. On this point, he is wrong and I am wrong. His appointment as the head of the first section is a compromise."

Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda did not force Watanabe Eiji to make a decision now. Even though his brother is the Chief Cabinet Secretary, he cannot challenge Watanabe Eiji's current position.

"Should the police put the safety of the people's bodies, lives and property as their first principle?" After Onoda left, Watanabe Eiji sat in his seat and thought. He also vaguely recalled the passionate and fearless days when he first joined the Metropolitan Police Department. He personally led people to the Yakuza stronghold at the dock in a large-scale gun battle and chased criminals to villages in the mountains.

He had also violated some taboos within the organization because of his strong sense of justice, but his father and uncle were still there at that time, the president of the National Railways and the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, who could always protect him from any harm.

Now his father and uncle are gone, and he himself is in his fifties, and has become much more smooth and bureaucratic. However, whenever he thinks of the days when they assaulted and charged on the front lines together to arrest people and fight gun battles, Watanabe Eiji still smiles subconsciously.

Sugishita Ukyo is the self who is unwilling to compromise, and also the self who has no backing.

This guy is quite handsome, the head of the First Investigation Division and the face of the Metropolitan Police Department, but he is a little older, but...

If the spring breeze has pity for flowers, the old age will be as fresh as the youth!
Moreover, this is indeed a signal of apology to the University of Tokyo...

After a while, Uesugi Sosetsu, Watanabe Minami and others returned to the Metropolitan Police Department. After a brief report, Uesugi Sosetsu followed Ikeda Erena and left, leaving only Watanabe Minami to look for her father.

"Father! About leaking information!"

"I already know about this." Watanabe Eiji smiled and shook his head: "I will deal with Oshima. Just tell Uesugi-kun that you don't have to worry. This office will definitely make him pay enough."

“You’re worthy of being my father!” Miss Minami finally breathed a sigh of relief. Avoiding a direct conflict between the Metropolitan Police Department and Uesugi Sosetsu was the most important thing Miss Minami had to do.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I have something to ask you, Minami. How are you and Uesugi-kun doing now? Have you made up your mind?" Watanabe Eiji twirled the pen in his hand, his expression gradually becoming serious.

“I…” Miss Minami recalled what happened in the car before, and the blush that had just faded away returned to her face.

Damn it!
"You?" Seeing that his daughter seemed to have not made up her mind, Watanabe Eiji's expression became serious. "I have to tell you, if Uesugi-kun was only famous among the people before, then this Tokyo University case, although it has little impact on the people, it is different for the upper class. Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda knows him and told me that he will ask Uesugi-kun for help if I have other things in the future."

"If Uesugi-kun continues like this, the District Public Prosecutors' Special Investigation Team will soon notice him. If nothing unexpected happens, various political and business people will start introducing him to potential partners. Minami, we don't have much time left."

After saying that, Watanabe Eiji probably felt that his tone was not strong enough, so he emphasized, "Just now, the University of Tokyo sent an invitation to a banquet at Hanasari Ryotei in Chiyoda in three days, inviting Officer Kaneko, me, and Uesugi-kun to attend the banquet. The University of Tokyo guests include President Komiyayama, Uesugi-kun's grandfather, Senior Uesugi, Executive Director Norimoto of the University of Tokyo Board of Directors who is in charge of finances, and Dean Furutani."

"Do you know what this means?"

Watanabe Eiji stood up and looked at the magnificent night view of Tokyo.

Although he is now a powerful director with unlimited glory, in fact, the Watanabe family has shown signs of decline since his death. His father was equivalent to a senior official, his uncle was equivalent to a vice-ministerial level official, and his uncle had no children. In his generation, the Superintendent General was only equivalent to a vice-ministerial level bureaucrat, and he was not a political official but an administrative official.

As for his daughter, Watanabe Eiji doubted whether she could become the Superintendent of Police. No matter how ideal it was, a female Superintendent of Police would be the limit, and by that time, he would have retired for many years and would not be able to help.

Then, the Watanabe family's class decline was almost inevitable.

"I think, I like him!" Miss Minami hesitated for a moment, but decided with a soft voice, "I've made up my mind, I must have him!" If Miss Minami still had room to back out before, then when that thing happened in the car, it was almost like she had made the decision.

She wants him!

Only a man with noble blood and talent is worthy of making me pregnant, Kora!

"Very good, then I have a task for you." Watanabe Eiji nodded with great satisfaction. As a father, he had no reason to object to a KPI master like Uesugi Sosetsu, whom his daughter liked.

Moreover, his plan was not to marry his daughter off, but to marry Uesugi Muneyuki!

He is the second son!

"Can you attend the restaurant in five days as Uesugi Muneyuki's official female companion?"

........................

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty. Let’s not talk about the conspiracy between Watanabe father and daughter.

By the time Uesugi Sosetsu and Ikeda Erina arrived at Sakata Bridge, it was already 8:30 in the evening.

I have to say here that the working hours of the Metropolitan Police Department police are really long. If it is not an idle department, they will basically still be there at 7 or 8 in the evening. If they encounter a major murder case, it is normal for the police not to go home for many days in a row. Some patrol chiefs and deputy inspectors of the Investigation Section often go to the Special Investigation Headquarters with luggage, and will not go home for days or even weeks until the case is solved.

Tanaka Laodeng once said that when he was young, he was away from home for a month. The landlord couldn’t contact him and thought he was dead, so he was ready to come and take back the house.

So strictly speaking, the police can also be considered "social animals", but their benefits and allowances are better.

This is also the norm left over from Japan's economic boom in the 1970s. In the 1950s and 1960s, most Japanese families were dual-income families, but with the economic boom in the 1970s, the Japanese found that the salary of a full-time employee in the family was enough to support a family of four.

But at the same time, with the rapid economic development, work intensity also increased sharply. In the 996s and s, it was normal for Japanese people to go out to work at six or seven in the morning and get home at eight or nine in the evening. In fact, it was also ICU. It’s just that the whole country was in full swing at that time, and the wages were particularly high. Japanese men at that time were full of beautiful expectations for the future and unlimited enthusiasm to make money. Naturally, they fought to the end and created the best era together.

So it goes without saying who will work. It is naturally the wife who returns to the family and becomes a housewife.

The husband works 996, comes home, eats, lies down and watches TV for a while, and then is too tired to go to bed. He is forced to be absent from his family role for a long time. In this situation, it is impossible to do without a housewife.

So contrary to the stereotype, the employment rate of Japanese women actually reached its historical high in the 65s and 67s, at about 40%-00%. As the economy began to take off in the 50s, the employment rate of women actually dropped sharply, and reached its historical low of just over % in the s. After the bubble economy burst and it became difficult for a single worker to support a family of five (a couple, children and a dog), the employment rate of women began to rise, and did not return to % until around , and then fluctuated within this range.

In recent days, Uesugi Sosetsu has also experienced the feeling of 996ICU.

The Metropolitan Police Department doesn't get its money for nothing. There are so many things to deal with and they are so busy.

But he still enjoyed it, after all, he still needed to collect souls.

However, in this case, the time spent at home becomes very short, almost like the Japanese men in the past, leaving home in the morning and returning home at eight or nine in the evening.

When they officially entered the Sakata Bridge Tower and were waiting for the elevator in the underground garage, Ikeda Erena immediately leaned against Uesugi Sosetsu and put her arm around his.

"Were you and the department chief doing something bad in the back seat just now?"

Master Erina looked at Uesugi Sosetsu with a smile on her face, and showed a rare smart look: "Don't try to trick me! I'm not stupid! I know everything!"

Uesugi Sosetsu was amused by Erina's attitude. This tall beauty was usually stupid, but when it came to matters between men and women, her senses were particularly sharp and she was also particularly smart.

Is this a naked provocation or a demonstration?

But what Erina said next was beyond Uesugi Sosetsu's expectations.

"She'll just enjoy it for a while. From now on, the whole night will be mine!" Erina could hardly control her smug expression: "It's all mine!"

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Sosetsu couldn't stop laughing.

Still stupid!
