Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 176, Dongda Case Press Conference

On May 5, a press conference on the Dongda case was officially held.

More than 200 newspaper and magazine media came to the scene, blocking the entire press conference venue.

The press conference site was shrouded in low pressure. In front of the dark blue velvet curtain, more than a dozen uniformed police officers stood still like sculptures. The gold-plated cherry blossom badge on the chest of the central spokesperson reflected a cold light under the spotlight. The surface of the long podium reflected the grille lights on the ceiling. The logos of six microphones on the ebony table made up half of Japan's mainstream media.

The Commissioner of the National Police Agency, the Chief Cabinet of the National Police Agency, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department, the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department and others attended the press conference, but the position of the most critical person, the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, was vacant.

Section Chief Oshima is gone, and the new section chief has not yet taken office. At this time, the throne of the Chief of the Investigation Section is empty, and countless people in the Metropolitan Police Department, especially the non-professional team, are eyeing this throne.

This is the Chief of Investigation Division 1! The face of the Metropolitan Police Department!
Who will take this seat next?

Not only the entire Metropolitan Police Department is concerned about this, but even the newspapers and media are concerned.

The reason is simple. It is because in recent years, the position of Chief of the Investigation Section 1 seems to be cursed. Mikasa was dismissed after only one year and three months in office, and her successor, Chief Oshima, was in office for less than two months.

Who will be the next section chief?
Everyone is concerned about this issue.

Including Shinichiro Kosaka, the chief of the First Department of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division.

He was ordered to organize the documents of Section Chief Oshima. After finishing everything, he stood alone in the section chief's office for a while, holding the empty throne of the section chief with his hand. His eyes were filled with uncontrollable desire and a little bit of joy of surviving a disaster.

In fact, he was the one who leaked the information the first time, and it was Section Chief Oshima who leaked it to the District Public Prosecutors Office the second time.

But everyone thought that Oshima did it both times. Although Section Chief Oshima argued that he did not do it the first time, no one believed him anymore.

Section Chief, you are right, this is our non-professional group, we are different from the professional group.

If we want to be promoted, we have to jump into the mud, get our bodies covered in mud, and even if our eyes are blocked by mud, we have to stretch out our hands and desperately look for that slight possibility.

Inspector Kosaka was filled with emotion: Without sacrifice, there would be no victory!
Section Chief Oshima wanted to sacrifice Kosaka, but in the end he blocked the knife for Kosaka instead. Originally, the outcome of offending the University of Tokyo was to be exiled to the countryside, but because the University of Tokyo admitted defeat and he had made great contributions in solving the case, Kosaka miraculously stayed in the Investigation Section 1 and was even rewarded.

Thinking of this, Inspector Kosaka took out an account book from his suit and smiled slightly.

This investigation of Todai led him to an unexpected discovery.

Komiyama Forestry, located in Sasebo, is a relative of President Komiyama. In the name of hiring Tokyo University senior executives headed by President Komiyama as consultants, project managers and instructors, it paid a total of 2400 million yen in "consultancy fees" and "management fees" to the president and several senior executives of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry over the past five years. In return, the University of Tokyo handed over a forestry research project worth 1.6 million yen to Komiyama Forestry.

In the past, Inspector Kosaka would have definitely exposed this matter.

But this time in the Todai case, Inspector Kosaka realized it.

We, the police, protect the safety of citizens' lives and property in accordance with the law, but there are no laws to protect the police.

We must try to protect ourselves.

So he did not expose the account book, but handed it over to the Chief Cabinet Secretary of the National Police Agency, Onoda Kimiaki, and asked the Chief Cabinet Secretary to handle it, and Onoda was very satisfied with this.

There is no other way. In order to stand out and become the head of the Investigation Section 1, I, Kosaka, must continue to fight. For justice!

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

The press conference was officially held and Uesugi Sosetsu began to narrate the case.

"On the evening of May 5, Daisuke Tsuda, a professor of biology at the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry at the University of Tokyo, had an argument with his wife Tsuda Takako at home. The reason for the argument was that their daughter Emi Tsuda was admitted to the Keio School of Medicine..." Uesugi Sosetsu's voice was cut off by the sudden sound of shutter clicks, and his Adam's apple rolled above the collar of his starched suit.

The projection screen behind him showed various documents and information, and the pixelated blood color spread next to the Metropolitan Police Department logo. The female reporter of the Daily News in the front row suddenly stood up, and the strap of her camera swept through the notebook, revealing the scribbled words "Professor Tsuda and his wife had a dispute over their daughter's tuition" between the pages.

Uesugi Muneyuki described the whole process expressionlessly. He said whatever he wanted, from the quarrel caused by Professor Tsuda's suggestion that his wife provide the full tuition, to the realization that something was wrong and the initiative to check the accounts, to the passionate murder after the dispute, to the calmness afterward and the start of dealing with the body, to the decision to report the case when he saw that he could no longer conceal it. The whole process of the case was full of ups and downs, especially when Uesugi Muneyuki mentioned that Mrs. Tsuda had turned into an FX iron-blooded warrior, and had lost 380 billion yen by remitting money overseas in the OTC market with 10 times leverage over several years, which confused the reporters below.

Does this work too?
Japan also has a foreign exchange market, but the maximum leverage is 29 times, which is enough for a lot of housewives to go bankrupt.

Mrs. Tsuda actually dared to use 380 times leverage?
Uesugi Muneyuki's words "FX Predator" have since left a deep impression on all reporters and the 600 million Japanese citizens in the Kanto region who watched the live broadcast in real time.

This 10 billion remittance also gave Professor Tsuda some opportunities to operate.

"That's right! I did it all!" Earlier, when facing the inquiry from the Metropolitan Police Department, Professor Tsuda very straightforwardly admitted all the mistakes and emphasized that they were all his personal actions and had nothing to do with the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry of the University of Tokyo.

Professor Tsuda even took full responsibility for all the bad debts and problematic accounts of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry over the past ten years!
Failed project? Yes, I failed it. I take full responsibility!
Funding for overseas inspections? Yes, I arranged it, I am fully responsible!

PT project staff allowance? Yes, I took it all, I am fully responsible!
The recent unsuccessful forestry research? It’s all my fault!

As for the embezzled money? Of course, it was all used by Mrs. Tsuda to speculate in foreign exchange!

In fact, at this point, the figure of 10 billion is a bit insufficient, but Professor Tsuda is very simple. The extra hundreds of millions were also used by Mrs. Tsuda for luxury consumption and overseas travel. Don't ask me anymore. If you ask, I will take full responsibility!

In this way, Professor Tsuda single-handedly paid off ten years' worth of debts owed to the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry of the University of Tokyo.

Soon after Professor Tsuda was arrested, many people from the Tokyo University Alumni Association felt sorry for Professor Tsuda's tragic experience and launched a donation campaign, donating a total of 8000 million yen for Professor Tsuda's daughter, Emi Tsuda, to study in the Department of Dentistry at the Faculty of Medicine at Keio University.

As for the son who disappeared from the beginning to the end, he immediately received a real-time offer from overseas and left Japan overnight.

Uesugi Munesetsu saw all of this, and precisely because he saw it, the University of Tokyo, the Metropolitan Police Department, and everyone else were very afraid that Uesugi Munesetsu would say something "inappropriate".

Fortunately, they were overthinking it. Uesugi Sosetsu himself focused on the criminal part. He was not very interested in things other than the criminal part and could not take care of them. He was a forensic doctor and all he had to do was to make things clear.

Fortunately, because of his insistence on criminal matters, the University of Tokyo did not dare to play tricks like "accidental slip" or "excessive self-defense" and simply listened to Uesugi Sosetsu's arrangements.

Professor Tsuda will be charged with three crimes, namely "murder in passion", "destruction of corpse" and "occupational corruption", and the case will be sent to the procuratorate.

As Uesugi Muneyuki personally tells the whole story of the case, there is no doubt that the FX Iron Man and the Tokyo University professor's wife-murder case will become the front-page headlines of all newspapers and news media tomorrow!
With the convening of the press conference on this case, the case of the Tokyo University professor murdering his wife officially came to an end and was declared closed.

However, although the Metropolitan Police Department announced the closure of the case, the Japanese public's society-wide discussion on this case has just begun!
