Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 20: Boss Killer Ikeda Erina
When they met again at the door of the police station, Uesugi Sosetsu had no reaction yet, but the female police officer frowned. She almost instinctively felt that Uesugi Sosetsu was following her, but she soon noticed the police officer who sent Uesugi Sosetsu here.

So for a moment, the two sides greeted each other very awkwardly.

Uesugi Sosetsu could see the policewoman's contradictory attitude towards him. She was angry at his rudeness, but also grateful that he was willing to testify. For a moment, she didn't know what attitude she should show towards him.

But at the same time, Uesugi Sosetsu didn't know what attitude he should adopt in response. He didn't even know who the other person was. And who was this beautiful woman with an exotic face, who was obviously a mixed-race, 170 cm tall, with long legs and excellent fighting skills?
Uesugi Sosetsu didn't know.

The awkward atmosphere did not last long. The policewoman bowed slightly and went in first. Uesugi Sosetsu turned around and thanked the police officer who drove him here, and then asked her who she was.

"I don't know." The police officer said, "I'm just a patrol officer. You ask me? You ask me a patrol officer?"
"Looking at her attire, she should be from the Criminal Division. She might be here to replace Miss Kosaka." The police officer said, "After the last incident, Miss Kosaka is going to be transferred back to office work. Well, it's unreasonable to ask a female police officer from office work to transfer to field work."

"No way, why would such a beautiful, model-like, tall, mixed-race, and martial arts expert policewoman be transferred to the local police station?" Uesugi Sosetsu complained.

"This is not something we, the Kōban, can know. Uesugi-san, you should go ask Inspector Tanaka to help them."

After saying goodbye to the Koban police, Uesugi Sosetsu entered the police station alone.

"Oh! Brother Uesugi! Are you healed?" Having been to the police station many times, Uesugi Souji and Otsuka had become familiar with each other, at least in the Criminal Division. They were close enough to go to Yoshinoya together for lunch.

The crack between Sudo's chin and butt was still as charming as ever. Although the three members of the Criminal Investigation Division were heartbroken about being fined two months' salary, a fine was the best outcome for something like this.

"Namo San, I really want to thank you, little brother Uesugi this time." Tanaka Laodeng put his arm around Uesugi Munen's neck and said with a smile, "We knew that the friendship between little brother Uesugi and our Investigation Department is unbreakable! We are close friends who have eaten Okonomiyaki together."

"Mr. Uesugi, is your hand okay?" Kuwahara still had that pockmarked face. Because he was scolded by the Metropolitan Police Department and had to make a public self-criticism, he had to shave his hair into a normal style, and as a result, his appearance became just like everyone else.

"It's all right." Uesugi Sosetsu nodded, and the two sides agreed that the four of them would go out for a good meal together next time. Naturally, Sudo and the other two would treat them. The cooperation between the two sides would continue. Uesugi Sosetsu needed this cooperation very much, and after his professional ability was recognized by the Metropolitan Police Department, the police station would naturally have to seize it vigorously. The two chatted for a few sentences, and Uesugi Sosetsu was about to ask about the female police officer today when there was a knock on the door.

"Hi~!" Kuwahara Asako quickly scratched his bangs with his hands. He was a little unsure about his appearance after shaving his hair. From the glass at the door, he could vaguely see the outline of a tall and well-proportioned woman. Kuwahara immediately looked like a pig. He slid to the door with a standard swift step and stretched out his hand to open the door: "How can I help you..."

The door opened slightly, revealing the serious and indifferent face of the policewoman.

"Ah?! It's you!!!"

Asako Kuwahara was very enthusiastic at first, but his face suddenly changed after seeing the appearance of the policewoman. He immediately turned his head to the side, took two steps at a time and slid back a distance, his legs trembling with fear, and he almost wanted to leave first.

Uesugi Muneyuki: "???"

what's the situation?
Before he could open his mouth, the expressions of Tanaka Laodeng and Sudo Hitoshi behind him changed drastically. Tanaka Laodeng immediately turned his head and stared at the water dispenser, while Sudo Hitoshi immediately buried his head in the piles of reports, pretending that he saw nothing.

Most of the men in the Criminal Division turned their heads away subconsciously. Only one or two young men didn't react. However, after being reminded by their colleagues, they immediately looked away and didn't dare to look at the female police officer.

Soyuki Uesugi: "???????"

What's happening here?
Is this woman some kind of rule-based monster? Or is she some supreme being from the royal family who is so high that one cannot look directly at her face or call her name directly?

Are there really supernatural powers in this world besides me?

No one could answer him, and the policewoman seemed to be used to it. She stood at attention, her waist straight, and her beautiful waistline showed a beautiful crescent arc under the wrapping of women's suit. She said in a cold and stern tone without any emotion: "I am Ikeda Erena, who was transferred to the Criminal Division of Otsuka Police Station in Bunkyo District today. Thank you for your guidance."

"Please..." A chaotic and low response came from the criminal justice class.

So what exactly is going on?
"Hey, Tanaka, what's going on?" Uesugi Sosetsu grabbed Tanaka Laodeng who was staring at the water outlet of the water dispenser.

"It's her, it's her, it's her, it's her!" Tanaka Laodeng's face was ashen. "Why did the Metropolitan Police Department send her here? It's over. I don't want to be transferred to Shikoku! Namo San! Is there really a saying that fortune and misfortune are conserved?"

"Who is she?" Uesugi Sosetsu thought to himself, "The Riddler, get out of Gotham City!"
"She..." Before Tanaka Laodeng could say anything more, Section Chief Sudo had already ordered: "Everyone, gather together. Uesugi, you stay too."

A group of people came to the small conference table next to the Criminal Division office. Sudo pulled Uesugi Souyuki by the buttocks. After precise comparison, he confirmed that Uesugi Souyuki's 185cm height could completely block the policewoman named Ikeda Erena. Then he announced: "This is Inspector Ikeda who will be assigned to our division from today to replace Takasaka. Welcome everyone."

"Hello everyone, my name is Ikeda Erena. I was transferred here from the Meguro Branch. I am not very knowledgeable, so please give me your guidance." The policewoman's expression was still so cold.

There were more than 20 police officers in the criminal law class. Some were staring at the ceiling, studying the wattage of energy-saving lamps; some were staring at the water dispenser, wondering how many cups the hot water in it could hold; some were burying their heads in piles of documents; and some simply closed their eyes.

"Is it really her?" Uesugi Sosetsu heard a faint whisper.

"No way, is the Metropolitan Police Department trying to destroy our Otsuka Police Station?"

"Hasn't Uesugi already presented a letter of apology? Why is the Metropolitan Police Department inspector harping on Kousaka's mistake?"

"It's over now!"

"Quiet!" Sudo coughed twice, his face full of helplessness: "Anyway, if you want to introduce yourself, do it in private. As for who is responsible for guiding Ikeda..."

The two search department heads shook their heads frantically, with pleading looks on their faces.

"Tanaka, I leave it to you." Sudo had an expression of sacrificing personal interests for the sake of justice, and Tanaka Laodeng looked like he was about to cry.

After saying this, Sudo didn't give Tanaka Laodeng any chance to object and immediately discussed the next matter.

"Ikeda, the pervert you sent here...although he was a bit reckless, since little brother Uesugi is willing to testify, let's deal with him as a pervert." Section Chief Sudo looked over Uesugi Sosetsu's shoulder, making sure that Ikeda Erena's face was blocked by Uesugi Sosetsu. "By the way, Tanaka, have you investigated Ms. Yamada's case and the champagne tower at the gigolo club?"

"Not yet." Tanaka said no, and Sudo immediately said, "That's great! Tanaka, you and Ms. Ikeda will be in charge of this matter!"

"What?" Before Tanaka Laodeng could react, he heard: "Okay, meeting adjourned!"

Uesugi Sosetsu realized that this woman seemed to be a hot potato that no one wanted to touch. "If you don't understand something, just ask Tanaka and Ikeda." After saying this, Section Chief Sudo immediately went back into the pile of documents.

"Please give me your guidance." Ikeda Erena's mental state seemed normal. Apart from her tough expression and cold tone, there was nothing special about her.

"I don't deserve it. I need your guidance." Tanaka Laodeng moved behind Uesugi Muneyuki calmly, and blocked Ikeda Erena with a clever pick-and-roll tactic: "Oh, let me introduce you. This is Uesugi Muneyuki, a very powerful official forensic doctor. You should have heard of his name. Our agency has always been under his care, and we will need his cooperation in the future."

"Hello, I'm Uesugi Sosetsu. It's an honor for us to meet again. Ms. Ikeda Erena, I'm deeply impressed by your kicking." Uesugi Sosetsu took the initiative to extend his hand. He didn't understand why everyone in the Criminal Division was so afraid of Ikeda Erena.

"I'm Ikeda Erena, please give me your guidance." After confirming that the person in front of her was the young forensic doctor who caused her to be transferred again, Ikeda Erena showed a look of surprise on her face for the first time.

She didn't expect that Uesugi Sosetsu was so young, with a clean and cool appearance, and that he would be willing to come forward and testify.

The Japanese fear of trouble is ingrained in their bones.

It looks normal.

Uesugi Sosetsu thought to herself, that's why such a tall, mixed-race, fighting master and beautiful woman would be transferred to the local police station. Shouldn't such rare field elites be used by the Metropolitan Police Department itself?

As he thought about it, Uesugi Sosetsu couldn't help but lower his gaze another thirty centimeters: "Um, I'm sorry for what happened before, I..."

Ikeda Erena immediately sensed the change in Uesugi Sosetsu's expression. Her expression quickly turned cold, and her sunflower closed and turned into a carnivorous plant, full of sharp thorns. Without saying any more nonsense to Uesugi Sosetsu, she turned around and went to her workstation to put down her bag: "Chief Tanaka, when are we going to investigate the gigolo parlor?"

"Don't be in a hurry. You guys make a pervert's statement first, and then I'll take little brother Uesugi to have lunch." Tanaka Laodeng tried every means to avoid Ikeda Erina, and without saying a word, he forcibly dragged Uesugi Sosetsu out.

The two of them made separate statements about the train molester, and then Tanaka Ryouto did not give Uesugi Souji a chance to apologize and took him out to eat.

Fifteen minutes later, at Yoshinoya, a fast food chain near Otsuka Police Station in Bunkyo Ward.

There are three major fast food chains in Japan, namely Yoshinoya, Sukiya and Matsuya. These three chains are all time-honored brands and have always been loved by a large group of working-class people. Their characteristics of fast food service, large amount of ingredients (for Japanese people) and low price (for Japanese people) ensure that they firmly occupy the leading position in the huge market of working people.

Japan's weekday fast food has always been anchored around 500 yen, because 500 yen is the coin with the largest face value. In the era when there was no mobile payment and credit cards, a 500 yen coin was a necessity for salarymen to solve a meal.

Today, the standard set meals of Yoshinoya, Sukiya and Matsuya have exceeded the 500 yen anchor point, and are generally around 600 to 700 yen (tax included). However, compared to other fast food restaurants, they are already good value for money, and can keep you full and fill you up.

Lunch on other weekdays in Tokyo is generally around 1,000 yen or more.

It was only 11 o'clock in the morning, and there were not many people in the restaurant. Tanaka Laodeng ordered a large bowl of beef rice, and Uesugi Sosetsu ordered a 1,000 yen extra-large beef rice set meal with an egg. The two sat down, and before Uesugi Sosetsu could ask, Tanaka Laodeng took the initiative to say, "Namo San, I am suffering!"

"What's wrong? I also want to ask, what is going on?" Uesugi Sosetsu finally had the chance to ask, he was almost dying of holding it in.

"I know what you want to ask." The bitterness on Tanaka Laodeng's face was a deep and unremovable sadness: "Isn't it beautiful?"

"Beautiful!" Uesugi Sosetsu couldn't help but nod. She had an exotic look, full of the scent of sunshine and sunflowers. Her European and American-style facial features were matched with her tough and arrogant temperament, coupled with her slender body and devilish figure. There was no doubt about it.

"Big, right?" Tanaka Laodeng blinked.

"A huge treasure chest." Uesugi Sosetsu couldn't help but admire.

"You are wondering why such a person would be transferred to our branch, right?" Tanaka Laodeng smiled brightly: "In exchange for the future of three superiors!"

"what?"

"Ikeda Erena, non-professional group, was the first to be admitted to the Sarada Police Station. Because of her excellent combat ability and physical test data, she was not averse to field work, so she joined the Criminal Division. Her boss Nakashima saw that this newcomer was beautiful and tall, so he used his authority to actively pursue her." Tanaka Ryuto said sinisterly: "Nakashima semi-forced her to have dinner with him, but in the end, the dinner was not served. Ikeda reported her for sexual harassment under his real name, and the Metropolitan Police Department handled the matter. Nakashima was exiled to Shikoku."

"That's okay. From what you said, Nakayuki should be a married man. Isn't that normal?" Uesugi Sosetsu still didn't understand.

"Listen to me... When this happened, Ikeda was transferred to the Kanda Police Station. His boss this time was a thirty-year-old named Tsuyoshige. The difference this time was that Tsuyoshige was unmarried. Like Nakashima, he also launched a passionate pursuit of Ikeda. In the end, the Metropolitan Police Department received another report of sexual harassment, and Tsuyoshige was beaten for touching her."

"Where did Qianben go?" Uesugi Munen understood a little.

"In the countryside of Aomori Prefecture, you have to live with apple trees for the rest of your life." Tanaka was under great pressure: "For the third time, Ikeda was transferred to the Motohashi Joint Office because of repeated similar problems. This time, her boss was 49-year-old Inspector Kobashi, a famous model husband in Tokyo who had no hope of promotion. Inspector Kobashi spent his whole life studying how to do the least during working hours. In his 26-year career, Inspector Kobashi has never been criticized or complained about, but he has never solved any important cases. His merit book and fault book are both blank."

"Can't escape just like this?" Uesugi Sosetsu finally couldn't help but want to laugh.

"After working together for two months, Inspector Kobashi took the initiative to apply for transfer, citing reasons such as 'unable to control his gaze' and 'unable to work with her'. In this way, Inspector Kobashi was transferred to Kanagawa."

"Now it's my turn, little brother Uesugi. I don't want to go to Akita, Hokkaido, or Mie. I have a family too!" Tanaka Laodeng was eating, his sorrow flowing like a river. "Ikeda is a very difficult person to get along with. Her detective skills are not high, but she likes to use violence. As long as she thinks it is right, she will do it. For example, what happened today, think about it, if you are not willing to testify, how will this matter end?"

Uesugi Sosetsu thought that it was no wonder that she was so angry, so he attacked with great force, and hit her at just the right spot, causing pain but not breaking any bones.

"The police call her the boss killer. No one dares to look her in the eye. We are afraid." Tanaka Laodeng wanted to cry but had no tears. "Do you think I am a lustful person? I am already in my forties and have a wife and children. But do you think she will believe me if I say this?"

"Tanaka-san, actually..." Uesugi Sosetsu thought for a moment and said seriously, "If you want to transfer, Aizu City and Yonezawa City are both good. Although they are in the countryside, they are leisurely and it's a good place to go. I will miss you."

“Little brother!” Tanaka was filled with grief and indignation and was about to criticize Uesugi Munesetsu for making such a bad joke, but Lao Deng suddenly glanced at Uesugi Munesetsu and said, “Little brother Uesugi, since we’ve eaten at Xuxuen together, please give me a hand!”

"I'll leave Ikeda to you, how about that?"

"Ah I?!"

　I have to be a best man today, so the update will be early and there will only be one update. Please forgive me.
