Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 188, Prosecutors and Policemen Prosper Together? (Two chapters in one)

PS: This, this situation is not right? What happened to 369 who said he would beat Zeus back to reality? What happened to the brother who said he would abuse his husband?
PS2: It’s okay, don’t panic, we are just running in the new version, we can still win the Pioneer Championship!
Ryuhei Yamabuki was full of resentment and unwillingness. When Uesugi Sosetsu woke him up, Ryuhei Yamabuki was so happy that he immediately told Uesugi Sosetsu everything that had happened.

Obviously, this accountant in the finance department was "forced to commit suicide" because he was involved in key financial matters of the Toyokawa Group.

[What happened? ] Uesugi Sosetsu asked directly during the autopsy.

[Mr. Uesugi, please, please clear my name!] Yamabuki Ryuhei's dead soul knelt down and begged: [Everything started from that real estate merger case.]

Ryuhei Yamabuki narrated the whole incident.

The story begins with the Toyokawa Group.

As a large multinational group, the head of the Toyokawa Group, Toyokawa Sadaharu, is already a man in his seventies. Like Watanabe Eiji, he has no sons but only a daughter. So he adopted the old system of adopting sons-in-law and recruited a son-in-law named Toyokawa Kiyoshi, and appointed him as the president of Toyokawa Trading Company under the Toyokawa Group to examine his abilities.

Toyokawa Kiyoshi himself is not a very capable person. He just relied on his pretty face to seduce his father-in-law's daughter. In order to prove that he has the ability to take over the Toyokawa Group, Toyokawa Trading Company carried out the real estate acquisition case in Shinagawa District at the request of Toyokawa Kiyoshi. In order to complete the acquisition quickly, Toyokawa Trading Company did not conduct a strict review and included a proposal in the contract to agree that the other party's payment should be paid by a three-month acceptance bill.

As a result, when Yamabuki Ryuhei, who was in charge of finance, took over, he found that most of these acceptance bills came from the secondary market, and many of them had been used as collateral multiple times, which was a serious problem. However, after he reported it to his superiors...

[You're going to die, right?] Uesugi Sosetsu said helplessly.

[Yes.] Yamabuki Ryuhei was so angry that his teeth were itching.

[Are you sure who the murderer is?] Uesugi Sosetsu asked seriously: [Don't worry, I will seek justice for you.]

[I can't be sure.] Yamabuki Ryuhei said angrily: [But I roughly know who did it. It must be the senior executives under President Toyokawa!]

[Before the incident, I had already sensed something was wrong, so I divided the evidence in my hands into two parts, one to my friend Kuroda at Hanaka Dyeing Co., Ltd., and the other to my girlfriend Ikeda Marika.] Yamabuki Ryuhei pointed out his prior arrangements to Uesugi Sosetsu one by one: [As long as we find those two pieces of evidence, we can prove my innocence.]

[Very good, leave it to me.]

The speed of handling the case was incredibly fast because the soul of the deceased Ryuhei Yamabuki was particularly complete and his ability to express himself was particularly clear. Moreover, as a financial officer, he had realized that he might be in danger, so he divided the materials into two parts. He secretly hid the part involving the acceptance bill in his friend Hanaka Dyeing's factory, and entrusted the other part to his girlfriend for safekeeping.

However, these contents are just Ryuhei Yamabuki's one-sided words, and there is no evidence to support them.

But when Uesugi Sosetsu asked Inspector Okada to contact Yamabuki's friend Kuroda, the other party denied it.

There is no doubt that either the other party is afraid of the Toyokawa Group, or the other party is also involved in the murder!

When asked again, Yamabuki indeed began to suspect his friend Kuroda. According to his memory, he placed some files in each of his friend and girlfriend in case of any emergency, and was immediately poisoned to death.

But again, without evidence, Hanaka Dyeing Industry rejected the Metropolitan Police Department's search request.

[Does Toyokawa Group have any connection with these local police stations? ] Uesugi Sosetsu then asked.

[Of course, every year our company has at least 2000 million expenditures specifically for the Ebara Office. Don't you know that, Mr. Uesugi?] Yamabuki Ryuhei said: [This is a fixed expense. Every large company has to do this.]

[There is one thing to say, it is true. 】

It is easy for those above the level of superintendent in the Metropolitan Police Department to build a network of relationships by relying on their power. It is no secret that after retirement, they revolve around to take up middle and senior positions in local companies, autonomous organizations, and associations. It's just a matter of whether they do it in a good or bad way.

It’s just that Chief Kurosu of the Ebara Police Station was a little too obvious this time. Someone died yesterday morning, but he was so eager to close the case on the same day, fearing that the Metropolitan Police Department would intervene.

But neither Uesugi Sosetsu nor Sugishita Ukyo had sufficient evidence, and the problem was that they were all members of the police organization. If they wanted to touch senior members of other organizations, they had to report to their superiors.

So what if Sugishita Ukyo's backer is Onoda, the chief cabinet minister? So what if Uesugi Muneyuki is already Watanabe Eiji's future son-in-law?

Organizations will inevitably choose to maintain their reputation as a priority.

it's fine.

There is a land inspection!

Mr. MacArthur, thank you for your contribution!

Prosecutor Kambayashi was a little bit PTSD when he saw Uesugi Sosetsu. The reason was simple: their dignified district prosecutor had suffered too many losses at the hands of Uesugi Sosetsu and they were numb to it.

The group of prosecutors behind him were originally aggressive and pushed away Inspector Okada and several patrol chiefs from the Investigation Section. But when they saw Uesugi Sosetsu with his hands behind his back and an expressionless face, they were all frightened and trembled.

Why is this person here?
Is he going to cause another big disaster for our local prosecutors?
"Are you here to investigate the 168 billion yen fraud case of Toyokawa Group?" Uesugi Munen asked calmly.

"Yes, can't you read Japanese?" Prosecutor Kambayashi placed the arrest warrant in front of Uesugi Muneyuki. "Look, Yamabuki Ryuhei is suspected of forging the company seal and the president's signature, which led to the fraud of Toyokawa Trading Company, with a total loss of 168 billion yen. The fraud gang has now absconded, and our District Prosecutor's Office Special Investigation Team is in charge of investigating the case."

After saying that, Prosecutor Jinlin showed the arrest warrant to the police officers present with a bit of contempt: "Everyone, you can all read Japanese, right? Now our District Prosecutor's Special Investigation Team has taken over this place."

[I'm not! I didn't!] Yamabuki Ryuhei's dead soul roared angrily in Uesugi Sosetsu's ear: [It was them, they killed me just to frame me! Mr. Uesugi, think of a solution quickly!]

"But Yamabuki Ryuhei is already dead!" Ikeda Erena couldn't help but say, "How can an arrest warrant be used on a dead person?"

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, Chief Inspector Ikeda? Even if the person is dead, we still have to search and collect evidence." Prosecutor Kambayashi glanced at Erina, then said to Uesugi Sosetsu in a serious tone: "Transaction? The Metropolitan Police Department is not qualified to make a transaction with our District Public Prosecutors' Special Investigation Team!"

"But... considering it's you, go ahead and tell me. I'll listen."

Prosecutor Kamiyaribashi first breathed out heavily and was arrogant. After fully expressing the supreme status of their special investigation team and their disdain for the Metropolitan Police Department, he said, "Tell me, what's the deal?"
After these words were spoken, the District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Team and the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division had different expressions.

In other words, Uesugi Muneyuki could make these tyrannical guys who acted first and reported later give him a little face.

Moreover, he earned this through his own ability and it has nothing to do with the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Don't look for it. There's nothing at home." Uesugi Munen curled his lips and said to the members of the local inspection team in the room: "What I can be sure of at the moment is that part of the evidence is in the factory of Hanaka Dyeing Co., Ltd."

"The reason is that before being poisoned, Yamabuki Ryuhei had called his good friend Kuroda. The base station for Kuroda's mobile phone signal was located near the Hanaka Dyeing Factory, and there were dye particles on the soles of Yamabuki Ryuhei's shoes, which means that Yamabuki Ryuhei had been to the factory. So I judged that there must be something hidden in the factory." Uesugi Munen said seriously: "But..."

"Oh! I see. You don't have evidence and can't get a search warrant, right?" Prosecutor Shen Lin understood immediately. He then thought, "Aren't you afraid that after hearing what we hear, we won't do business with you and will go directly to the factory?"

"I didn't say where the things are in the factory." Uesugi Sosetsu said casually, "Do you want to do the same thing with the warehouse of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry of the University of Tokyo again?"

"You bastard!" Prosecutor Shenlin was so angry that his teeth were itching when he thought of that incident, but there was nothing he could do.

"So I'll make a deal with you. You help us open the factory gate to get search authorization, and I'll help you find evidence. How about that?"

After confirming that there was no useful evidence in Yamabuki Ryuhei's home, Prosecutor Kanbayashi waved at Uesugi Muneyuki and said, "What are you guys still standing there for? Follow me!"

The deal was done.

Seeing this, Uesugi Sosetsu said to everyone in the class without any hesitation: "Let's follow."

"Ahhh!" Everyone in the search class experienced a strange sense of pleasure for the first time.

The so-called District Prosecutor's Special Investigation Team is nothing more than this!

"go!"

When everyone left the Yamabuki residence, a large black mass of police cars and business cars of the District Public Prosecutors Office Special Investigation Team were seen moving forward in a mighty procession, which quickly attracted the attention of the Tokyo metropolis. Many newspaper reporters followed them frantically like sharks smelling blood.

When the group of vehicles stopped at the entrance of Hanaka Dyeing Industry, they were already surrounded by reporters.

"Please tell me! What happened?"

"This is Asahi Shimbun TV. We are now at the gate of the Hanaka Dyeing Co., Ltd. factory. This happened suddenly. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Team actually conducted a joint operation with the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division. I guess they discovered something important."

"Ah! The District Public Prosecutor's Special Investigation Team has come out! Wait, that's... Forensic Officer Uesugi Sosetsu!"

"It must be a big deal that the Metropolitan Police Department sent out the Special Mission Unit!" The host immediately trotted over and asked, "Excuse me, what happened? Is it related to the 168 billion accountant suicide case announced by Toyokawa Trading Company?"

"No comment at this time! Move aside, otherwise you will be obstructing official business!" The special investigation team of the district prosecutor's office was indeed overbearing. They signaled all reporters to move aside.

"What a fast pace." Inspector Shiratori followed Uesugi Sosetsu with his phone in hand. "Toyokawa Trading Company's president, Toyokawa Kiyoshi, held a press conference and announced that the company had suffered losses from fraud. Yamabuki Ryuhei privately carved the company seal to imitate the president's signature and was the main person responsible. Chief Kurosu of the Ebara Police Station also announced that he had accepted the report of suicide and officially closed the case."

"Are you in such a hurry?" Inspector Okada couldn't help but say, "This is clearly a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt! President Toyokawa's public relations skills are not good enough."

"No, this kind of case must be closed quickly." Inspector Kashiwagi trotted after the district prosecutor's office: "If we take too long, everything will be over." A large group of police officers followed the district prosecutor's office's special investigation team. At this time, Hanaka Somegye was already on high alert.

The special investigation team of the district prosecutor's office didn't bother with all that nonsense. They just opened the factory door and rushed in directly. Prosecutor Kambayashi signaled to Uesugi Soyuki that they could start.

[Yamabuki, where are your documents hidden? ] Uesugi Sosetsu asked immediately.

[Come with me, I'm hiding in a very secluded place.] Yamabuki Ryuhei motioned for me to lead the way.

So hundreds of people followed Uesugi Sosetsu into the dormitory building near the factory, and found stacks of documents in scattered cardboard boxes near a pile of buckets on the first floor of an empty plywood dormitory full of tiger tail orchids.

It is printed with the logo of Toyokawa Trading Company, and contains financial statements compiled by Ryuhei Yamabuki and archival documents retained for the land acquisition case.

"That's it!" The special investigation team of the district prosecutor's office are all elites among elites. Seeing this scene, Prosecutor Shenlin was ecstatic. He waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to take action.

But before he could be happy for long, Uesugi Sosetsu came to his side slowly and said, "How is it? I didn't lie to your special search team, did I?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone in the special investigation team, led by Prosecutor Kamiya, turned pale.

Prosecutor Kambayashi was silent for a long time, looking at Uesugi Sosetsu as if he was looking at a new human being.

Is the Metropolitan Police Department's rookie forensic pathologist a monster?
"How did you do that?" He could only ask, "How did you find it?"

"Please forgive me for not being able to tell you anything about this." Uesugi Munen frowned. "Check, is this what you want? Also, what exactly is your District Attorney's Special Investigation Team looking for?"

Looking at the Metropolitan Police Department logo on Uesugi Sosetsu and the large group of Section 1 police officers standing behind him, Prosecutor Kamiya was extremely angry.

Damn it!

We are the District Prosecutors Office, and those who are allowed in are the elites among the elites of Japan, but how come this guy was missed?

It would be great if Uesugi Muneyuki was one of our district prosecutors!
In this case, is there any case that our District Prosecutor's Special Investigation Team cannot solve?
Now that he has officially joined the Metropolitan Police Department as a special mission forensic officer, what have those people above him been doing?
Also, so this guy always solves cases in this way?

Seeing is believing. After witnessing Uesugi Muneyuki's method of solving cases, Prosecutor Kanbayashi was shaken. He then dragged Uesugi Muneyuki aside and said, "In addition to investigating the fraud of acceptance bills and the land acquisition case, we will also investigate the transactions within the Toyokawa Group..."

"Insider trading?"

"Well, the 168 billion yen fraud seems to be a cover-up. Toyokawa Corporation, the parent of Toyokawa Trading Company, seems to want to use this case to settle a series of black money from political and business transactions, false accounts made over the years, and improper internal transactions at one time." Prosecutor Kamiya said: "A lot of black money seems to have flowed to your police. This matter will affect the fairness and soundness of the Japanese economy."

"No wonder the Ebara Police Station has been particularly uncooperative since the beginning of our investigation." Uesugi Munen recalled something in an instant. He told Prosecutor Kambayashi to wait, and then immediately communicated with the spirit of Yamabuki Ryuhei, saying, "Where are the records of payments and donations? Are they in this pile of documents?"

[Of course not, I left it with my girlfriend Ikeda Marika.] Yamabuki Ryuhei said as a matter of course: [The documents here are all about land acquisitions and acceptance bills, and only involve this case. As for those black money transactions and withdrawal records, of course I left them with our girlfriend!]

Uesugi Sosetsu was silent for a few seconds.

The financial accountant who was poisoned at the speed of light after the accident.

Toyokawa Trading Company responded quickly.

The Ebara Police Station, which always handles things quickly.

Toyokawa Group's ambiguous response to this matter.

The sudden appearance and investigation direction of the local prosecutor's office.

He looked up and saw that not far away, several clerks from Hanaka Dyeing Industry were quickly talking on the phone. While looking at them, there were also media further away who were blocked by the wall of people and kept filming.

[Yamabuki! You idiot!] Uesugi Munen finally couldn't help it, and he cursed directly: [You should let us find your girlfriend first! And then come here to get evidence of the bill of exchange and the fraud case!]

[Ah? But why? The evidence here is enough for me to prove my innocence!] Yamabuki Ryuhei did not understand what Uesugi Sosetsu meant: [The documents she has involve a lot of bad things. Wouldn't this put me in danger?]

[So you are such an idiot, no wonder you were poisoned to death! ] Uesugi Souyuki was so angry that his face turned blue: [Where does your girlfriend live? ]

[Why are you asking this all of a sudden?] Yamabuki Ryuhei still didn't understand.

[Toyokawa Group has been monitoring us... If I'm not mistaken, your girlfriend is in danger now! ]

[Ah, she lives in XX district of Setagaya...] Ryuhei Yamabuki finally reacted at this time.

At this time, the local prosecutor's office was still sorting out the information, and Investigator Shenlin was listening to his subordinates' reports with a frown on his face.

They did contain all the documents on the Toyokawa Trading Company's land acquisition case and the financial statements on the acceptance bills, as well as many documents left by Accountant Yamabuki to prove his innocence. However, they did not find the crucial list of Toyokawa Trading Company's political and business transactions, various donations, and false accounts.

Just these alone can only reinvestigate the accountant's suicide case and the Toyokawa Trading Company fraud, but it cannot really find out the mastermind behind the scenes, nor can it really find out the black money transactions behind it.

It can only be considered a good start!

Just as Prosecutor Kamiya was thinking about how to continue the investigation, he suddenly saw that the people from the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division were like crazy. Under the command of Uesugi Sosetsu, they rushed out of the factory gate and quickly got into the car.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Prosecutor Shenlin shouted to his subordinates anxiously, "Stop searching, load everything into the truck and send it back to the procuratorate for further review!"

"Now, follow them immediately, follow the Metropolitan Police Department! Get in the car, get in the car quickly!"

The District Prosecutors' Special Investigation Team is indeed the elite force created by Emperor Mai himself.

When Uesugi Munen's Toyota Camry was driving on the road nearby, the black business car of the district prosecutor's office had already caught up from behind. Prosecutor Kambayashi opened the window and showed his head, regardless of the danger: "Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Of course we're going to get other evidence!" Uesugi Sosetsu also shouted in the car: "Our deal is over, didn't you get the stuff?"

"Ah? Damn it! That's not what we want! You knew that, didn't you?" Prosecutor Kamiya was furious. He already smelled the scent of credit: "Hey, our special investigation team did you a big favor!"

He now understood why these people from the First Investigation Section seemed to have their souls taken away by ghosts and obeyed Uesugi Sosetsu's orders like puppets.

Because as long as you follow him, you will gain countless merits!

Moreover, this is a huge achievement! We can’t let the Metropolitan Police Department take all the credit!
"Then what are you guys still standing there for? Follow me!" Uesugi Sosetsu waved his hand and spoke anxiously in a tone similar to that of his subordinates without even using any honorifics.

He didn't want to say so much at this moment. He was still thinking about how to explain his judgment afterwards.

This case was solved by a deus ex machina method because the dead soul was too complete and the content was too detailed.

How should he use forensic science to explain his judgment afterwards?
do not know!
Uesugi Sosetsu's forensic skills are actually just at the normal level. He should come up with a reasonable excuse to convince everyone.

But it was too late. If he guessed correctly, the people from Toyokawa Group were already on the way!
Fortunately, everyone believed in him unconditionally.

"What's that tone of voice! Is that how you talk to me?" Prosecutor Shenlin cursed.

Doesn't this make it seem like our District Public Prosecutors' Special Investigation Team is like Uesugi Sosetsu's little brothers?
"Then there's no place for you!" Uesugi Sosetsu shouted, "Then don't come with us!"

"Don't even think about it. This is part of the deal!" Prosecutor Kambayashi admitted the fact humiliatingly. After saying that, he quickly signaled the special investigation team to follow the Metropolitan Police Department.

This scene stunned the news vehicle and dozens of reporters from newspapers and media that were following behind.

what is this?
Prosecutors and police prosper together?
How did the Prosecutor's Office and the Metropolitan Police Department work together? The last time this happened was during the Showa era, right?

Is this really Japan? Or have we been taken to some other place?
No matter what everyone thought, the Metropolitan Police Department did join forces with the Prosecutors' Office and rushed towards the apartment where Ryuhei Yamabuki's girlfriend was.

However, Uesugi Sosetsu and others were still a step too late.

Just as they were rushing, there was a knock on the apartment door of Ryuhei Yamabuki's girlfriend Marika Ikeda.

"Hello, we are Mr. Yamabuki's colleagues at Toyokawa Trading Company. We are very sorry about what happened to him. We are here to pick up his things that he stored with you, Miss Ikeda." Several men in black suits stood at the door and exchanged glances with each other.

Is there really something?!

"Okay, please wait, I'll be right there to open the door."

There really is something!
Ryuhei Yamabuki's girlfriend didn't suspect anything and walked quickly towards the door in her home clothes.
