Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 175: Ukyo Sugishita, the Chief of Investigation Division
In the Tokyo University case, Mrs. Tsuda disappeared on May 5, and Professor Tsuda reported the case on May 7. On May 5, the Metropolitan Police Department announced that it had successfully solved the case. Professor Tsuda admitted to the fact that he had killed his wife in front of the camera and chose to plead guilty.

The efficiency of the Metropolitan Police Department once again shocked all Japanese citizens. At the press conference held on May 5, Komiyama, the president of the University of Tokyo, and Furutani, the minister of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, formally apologized to all the citizens at the press conference. President Komiyama stated that he and Minister Furutani would take all responsibilities, and would resign from the positions of president of the University of Tokyo and minister of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry later. They also apologized to the whole society, saying that the University of Tokyo had "caused trouble" to the citizens.

"Red Bean Paste Private Marseille!" At the press conference, the top leaders of the University of Tokyo, represented by President Komiyama, bowed collectively.

This is an extremely rare case in Japan, and it actually led to the University of Tokyo taking the initiative to admit its mistake and apologize, causing the whole society's attention to return to the University of Tokyo case from the supernatural urban legend of the Fuji TV female anchor in front of the Odaiba Building.

The Metropolitan Police Department solved the case seven days after the report was filed. The outstanding performance of the Metropolitan Police Department in the past year has been generally recognized by the whole society, and its evaluation in the hearts of the people has risen a lot. Among them, the name of Uesugi Munesetsu has once again attracted the attention of all citizens.

He is able to make the University of Tokyo bow its head. Is this the descendant of Lord Kenshin?
big! righteous!
The righteousness lies with the Eastern Army!
However, the praise for the Metropolitan Police Department did not last long. Soon, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Team immediately exposed the corruption case of Oshima, the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division.

It is reported that during the three years when Section Chief Oshima was transferred to the Ikebukuro area to serve as director, he received a total of 5800 million yen in bribes through various means and channels and under different names!

As soon as the news came to light, the entire nation was shocked, and major television stations and newspapers immediately turned to report on the incident.

The former section chief Oshima Ichi, who had been arrested and persisted during the interrogation, found out that he had been sold out by the district prosecutor. He was angry and anxious, and tried his best to ask someone to inquire about the director of the special investigation headquarters of the district prosecutor's office, Ryoichi Kitsurekawa, asking if the district prosecutor had not promised to protect him?

I have leaked the information to you, where are you?
The local prosecutor's response was very indifferent: If you provide valid intelligence, we will of course protect you, but is your intelligence valid?

Only then did Section Chief Oshima realize that he had been abandoned by the District Public Prosecutors Office. He admitted his crime in desperation and was demoted from Chief of Investigation Section 1 to Chief Inspector of Hakodate District, Hokkaido. He voluntarily resigned before being transferred. And unlike other section chiefs, this guy has no chance to work in a company or local association.

This result is already a very severe punishment for the Japanese. The whole society is quite supportive of the response of the Metropolitan Police Department. On the American side, Professor William Edwards expressed satisfaction with the handling of the case by the University of Tokyo. After learning the inside story, he also expressed regret about Professor Tsuda's incident (he found that Professor Tsuda was the one who did his best to protect his family, and he was moved to tears). The Massachusetts Institute of Technology withdrew its cooperation with the University of Tokyo, and the FBI no longer found an excuse to intervene.

Subsequently, the Metropolitan Police Department officially announced that it would hold a press conference on May 5, at which Sosetsu Uesugi, a specially appointed on-site forensic consultant from the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, would explain the case to the entire nation.

Reports about the Todai case are being played on a loop on the television at the conveyor belt sushi restaurant "Sushiro" in Toshima Ward, Tokyo.

"Is the Metropolitan Police Department so powerful recently?" A customer said, "Even the District Attorney's Special Investigation Team has been suppressed!"

"The Metropolitan Police Department has been really strong recently. I heard that the current chief of the Metropolitan Police Department is also from the University of Tokyo. They were able to withstand the pressure and make the University of Tokyo apologize. Are we really living in Japan?"

"Yeah, as far as I can remember, the only people who can make Dongda apologize are Americans, right?"

"Oh~ Don't mention it. In my opinion, this case would not be so easy to solve if the United States hadn't intervened. Haha, we are just a naval and air force base of the United States."

"Tsk, if it weren't for President MacArthur of the United States, would you still be eating conveyor belt sushi here? Would you still be serving your country in the Eight-fold Sphere, harvesting rice in the fields, catching crabs on the crab boats? Who else but the United States can control these corrupt congressional bureaucrats and congressmen? No matter how big the talk is, what does this have to do with my monthly salary of 25 yuan?"

"Let's talk about it, let's have a drink~"

"Beer, Beer, Beer~"

In the middle of the conveyor belt sushi seats, two men in suits in their 50s were sitting together.

"I recommended you to Director Watanabe as the Chief of Investigation Section 1." The Chief Cabinet Secretary of the National Police Agency, Onoda Kimiaki, was eating tuna sushi and said to the middle-aged man next to him who was dressed like a gentleman, wearing a suit and overalls, a greasy slicked-back hair, and was not tall and wearing silver-rimmed glasses: "Oshima is finished, and the position of Chief of Section 1 is vacant."

"Is that so?" The middle-aged man in overalls nodded calmly and picked up a plate of tofu sushi.

"This is a serious matter, and I can't protect Oshima." Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda continued, "You know, I'm not that kind of person."

"I didn't understand it that way..." The man in overalls was quick-witted. He saw that Onoda actually put the sushi plate back on the moving belt and quickly grabbed it: "Don't put the plate back! You'll cause trouble for the store!"

"Sorry, I'm used to it." Although Onoda was being scolded, he looked calm, as if it had nothing to do with him. "But speaking of which, it's really amazing, Uesugi Sosetsu-kun, do you really believe that he could find the bone fragments at the bottom of the barrel during the ground inspection with his naked eyes, smell and hearing?"

"Whether you believe it or not, this is already a fact." The man in overalls and suit smiled and said, "The fact is that Professor Tsuda has pleaded guilty." "Yes, it is really remarkable that the University of Tokyo can bow its head." Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda nodded in agreement, "But this is exactly why I want you to be the head of the First Investigation Division."

"Hi↓eh↑?" the man in overalls and suit asked in confusion.

"If I don't take action, Watanabe Eiji will actually control the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency." Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda said: "Relying on the previous cases, the entire Metropolitan Police Department is full of his people... The new criminal minister is Uchimura Kanji, who is also Eiji's confidant."

"I have nothing good to say about that man." The man in overalls and suit obviously disapproved of the new Minister of Criminal Affairs.

"There is also the Special Mission Department. Uesugi-kun is so amazing that the Investigation Division 1 cannot do without him now." Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda said, "So, the only way now is for you to take on this key position of Chief of Investigation Division 1 to limit Director Watanabe. You and Uesugi Munesetsu are very similar, both of you are the best tools. It's a pity that I don't have such a beautiful daughter. I only have two grandsons and one granddaughter."

"It's just a tool that can be discarded after use anyway." The man in overalls and suit smiled and said, "Just like when you kicked me?"

Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda glanced at his old friend, his eyes fluctuating a little: "You still remember... Am I not trying to make it up to you? We were both wrong at the time, I admit it."

"The compensation for my hard work is that I have to stay in the Life Safety Division for more than 56 years?" The man in overalls and suit is still smiling: "I am 55 years old this year. According to the rules of the Metropolitan Police Department, I should be ready to retire after , right?"

For the professional group, after the age of 55, no matter what position they hold, they will automatically be promoted half a level. For example, a superintendent will enjoy the treatment of a senior superintendent, and a chief superintendent will enjoy the treatment of a superintendent of police, but they will no longer be allowed to hold important positions.

"But I don't have anyone more suitable than you, and this person must be acceptable to the criminal faction, so it can only be you, Sugishita Ukyo. Only you, Sugishita, can deal with Uesugi from the Special Mission Department."

"You still haven't changed. You like to force others to do things against their will." The man in overalls and suit said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"You're wrong. I just like to force you." Onoda said, "I know you don't want to team up with me anymore, but I forced you again. You must be very upset, right?"

"Yes, that's true." The man in the overalls and suit said calmly.

"But I need your help. There is no other way. Please help me once more, Sugishita Ukyo!" Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda thought for a moment, then suddenly left his seat, knelt on the ground in a standard dogeza pose, and nodded his head on the carpet: "Do you need me to beg you?"

"Don't play these boring tricks." The head of the Life Safety Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, Superintendent Ukyo Sugishita, was not buying it, even though the entire conveyor belt sushi restaurant was looking at him.

"That's right. This trick won't work on you." Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda stood up naturally, and then took out a transfer order signed by the Chief Cabinet Secretary from his body: "What about this trick? This is an order from the Cabinet. It is the duty of the police to obey orders."

“…………Has it become a threat again this time?” Sugishita Ukyo was really helpless towards this old friend.

"I can do anything to get you to accept the appointment!" Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda said with a hint of pride: "I can't help it. After all, my brother is the Chief Cabinet Secretary. Do you want to see other methods?"

“…………There’s really nothing I can do about you.” Sugishita Ukyo was silent for a long time and finally agreed.

"Very good, Ukyo Sugishita, the head of the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department!" Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda smiled, "Your official appointment letter will arrive immediately."

"Hi↓咿↑?" Sugishita Ukyo's expression changed slightly: "Wait, what about that in your hand?"

"Oh, this is just a routine document from the Cabinet to the National Police Agency." Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't I tell you that I can do anything to get you to accept the appointment?"

Sugishita Ukyo felt at a loss as to what to do and could only remain silent.

I was fooled by Onoda again!
