Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 200: Hire a real forensic doctor!

The extremely busy Special Mission Department has made the only four people in the department exhausted. Miss Minami is okay, as she mainly sits in the office. But Inspector Okada, who is responsible for going to the scene, is screaming with exhaustion. As the son of the head of the Financial Services Agency, he has to follow Uesugi Sosetsu to the scene repeatedly, which has made this guy lose a lot of weight and his skin has become darker after a month.

However, when Inspector Okada saw that he had worked overtime for 7 hours in July and received a pay slip from the Metropolitan Police Department's Pay Division stating that he had worked overtime for 180 yen even though he chose not to take a day off, he immediately stopped making a fuss.

(If Japanese police give up their compensatory leave, the overtime pay for one hour is theoretically 3000 yen, but this is only in theory. In reality, most Japanese police often work overtime for free and do not receive any money at all. Only the special police have special circumstances, so the money and treatment are absolutely sufficient.)
As for Ikeda Erena, well, our tall beauty is energetic in every sense of the word, and she wouldn't mind sitting in the office all day!
She liked going on field trips with Uesugi Sosetsu, especially those that required staying overnight.

Hehehe~ Whenever she thinks of this, Ikeda Erena can't help but blushing. Compared to before when she could only go to Sakata Bridge one day a week, once she spends the night outside, Uesugi Sosetsu will belong to her alone for the whole night!

Fighting is fun!

So this busy month was very fulfilling for Erina, well, fulfilling in every sense of the word, it was so fulfilling that it was overflowing. She liked this rhythm. Today she would see the body of a person who died alone in Mitaka City, and tomorrow she would go to Hachioji City to check on a body that died accidentally by falling. Uesugi Sosetsu would explain the whole process to her, and then at night the two of them would go back to the hotel and cuddle sweetly.

As for Uesugi Sosetsu himself, although he was very tired, he received a lot of souls this month.

In the chakra technique, among the seven chakras, Senior Sister Mai only transplanted the abdominal chakra, which is the reproductive chakra, to him. The remaining six chakras are dead and need to be activated by injecting a huge amount of courage.

During this month, Uesugi Sosetsu collected a huge amount of spirit, and the other six chakras showed signs of loosening. When the other six chakras were activated, Senior Sister Mai would practice dual cultivation with him as agreed, and recast her reproductive chakra again. After that, the two chakras would merge and become each other's lifeline. They would be reborn from one lotus and share the endless life with each other.

It's just that he's been very busy lately.

Senior Mai has been very busy recently. After finishing the filming of Detective Galileo 2, she will immediately star in the theatrical version of "Midsummer Equations", which also brings together a huge cast. Then there will be a series of movie promotions. After that, senior Mai will also appear in the second half of NHK's annual morning drama "Ama-chan", and will play a rival role with the female lead Rena Nounen.

In short, everyone is busy.

Only the newly appointed head of the First Investigation Division, Sugishita Ukyo, is free. He has recently been studying the four ways of brewing English black tea.

Among the cases in July, the vast majority were just local bureaus wasting their time, but there were three special cases that were successfully solved thanks to Uesugi Sosetsu.

The first case was a sudden death case in Mitaka City. In a ramen restaurant late at night, a customer suddenly died of a cerebral hemorrhage. Although the Mitaka City Police Station received the diagnosis of a doctor from a local clinic, they still decided to invite Uesugi Sosetsu.

Uesugi Sosetsu immediately noticed that the deceased's pupils were contracted.

After a person dies, the mind is paralyzed and the pupillary sphincter will relax. As the muscles relax, the pupil will dilate quickly. At the same time, the anal sphincter and bladder sphincter will also be paralyzed. Therefore, it is normal for the corpse to be incontinent, but the pupils of the deceased will not dilate.

Uesugi Sosetsu then reinvestigated the case and soon discovered that there was something wrong with the proprietress. The proprietress quickly admitted that she had killed the man and poisoned him.

And this was not the first time she had done this. She had previously poisoned her hated mother-in-law after her husband died. She then told the police and doctors who came that her mother-in-law had died of a sudden illness. The police and doctors did not even suspect anything and directly issued a death certificate.

This shows how useless the local police are and how much they are afraid of getting into trouble! And how serious is the shortage of forensic doctors and autopsies in Japan.

The proprietress got all the inheritance and a large sum of insurance money. After tasting the sweetness of success, she discovered a large amount of cash in the bag of the deceased while running the ramen shop. So she became interested and wanted to try to poison the ramen again.

This was discovered by Uesugi Sosetsu, and during the autopsy afterwards, ethyl parathion, an old-fashioned pesticide that was highly toxic, was found in the body of the deceased.

It’s a pity that the mother-in-law’s body had already been cremated, otherwise the proprietress would have been charged with an even greater crime.

The second case is also very interesting.

A young woman committed suicide by taking sleeping pills at home due to workplace bullying and discrimination, but her backyard door was not closed tightly, and an underage junior high school boy accidentally entered her house, thinking that "sister was asleep". Out of curiosity and instinct, he took off her clothes, scribbled on her body, touched her, and did some unspeakable things, leaving his DNA at the scene.

When the Banqiao District police arrived at the scene, they naturally believed that this was a rape and murder case and made a huge fuss about it.

After the autopsy, Sosetsu Uesugi found that the woman died of an overdose of sleeping pills, not homicide but suicide. The junior high school boy was found afterwards, but because he was under 14 years old and not the murderer, the police only criticized and educated him, and finally did not prosecute him. But judging from his appearance, he will probably never forget this experience.

The third case was a swimming athlete who drowned during training.

This case is also particularly puzzling. How could a swimming athlete who could easily hold his breath underwater for several minutes drown in a training pool?

The police therefore suspected this was a homicide and asked Uesugi Sosetsu to observe.

But the soul of the deceased told Uesugi Sosetsu that he died of drowning. He accidentally choked on water while swimming, and then staggered around in the water, dizzy, and couldn't find his direction for a while, and then drowned.

Did he really drown?

Why is it so embarrassing?
However, Uesugi Sosetsu found that even though he understood the reason, he didn't know how to explain it all!
As a last resort, Uesugi Sosetsu had to invite Professor Okochi of Tokyo Medical and Dental University to perform an autopsy together. With the guidance of Professor Okochi, Uesugi Sosetsu finally understood the cause of death from drowning.

Due to choking on water, water invaded the swimmer's nasal cavity into the ear tube connected to the eardrum deep in the nasal cavity. As the ear tube was long and thin, and the deceased had strong breathing as a professional athlete, water formed a water plug in the ear tube. As the choking on water continued, the water plug became a "water bomb" under the piston movement, which broke into the mastoid cavities at the cone of the temporal bone, destroying the mucosa and capillaries. Bleeding in the capillaries and mucosa would affect the normal function of the three semicircular canals at the base of the skull and thus affect the brain.

Therefore, although the deceased was conscious at this time, he felt dizzy and lost his direction and could not control his breathing, and eventually drowned in the training pool.

Because he was a professional swimming athlete, his family members saw him struggling in the water but did not take it seriously. When he drowned, his wife thought he was practicing holding his breath while diving and cheered him on, thinking that the world record was about 20 minutes. Dear, you can prepare to apply for the Guinness World Record!
"Mr. Uesugi, your anatomical and pathological abilities are still lacking." After finishing his work, Professor Ohkouchi said slowly, "A true master should always maintain a humble heart and never get carried away by his excellent autopsy skills. I have no objection to you doing this job, but have you ever heard the cries of every dead person? Any mistake you make may cause a life to be lost in misunderstanding and injustice."

"Thank you very much for your guidance, Professor. I will keep it in mind!"

Uesugi Sosetsu didn't dare to be arrogant at all, he knew where his outstanding autopsy ability came from - he cheated!
But precisely because of this, Uesugi Sosetsu wanted a truly excellent forensic assistant more than ever before.

And this opportunity just happened to come.

The reason is simple, the three forensic doctors in the Identification Department can't handle it anymore!

Because the headquarters was involved in a large number of local cases, whenever Sosetsu Uesugi was involved in a case, Takeshi Toyama, Hideo Kamioka, and the newly recruited Nakado from the Forensic Department had to write an autopsy report for Sosetsu Uesugi.

You have to know that Uesugi Munen examined 180 bodies in one month! An average of 6 bodies a day, and because of the possibility of criminal involvement, each body had to have a special autopsy report to explain the reasons.

It is naturally impossible for Uesugi Munesetsu to write the autopsy report himself. First of all, his greatest value lies in picking up corpses, and it is impossible for him to waste his time on clerical work. Secondly, as Professor Okouchi said, Uesugi Munesetsu's knowledge of real forensic medicine and real pathology... is relatively weak. He is not much better than the forensic doctors in the forensic department. If he were asked to write the report, he would not know how to explain the reason if something happened to him, and he himself did not participate much in the autopsy.

In response to this problem, Uesugi Sosetsu proposed to the Criminal Department that a forensic doctor from the Forensic Department be transferred to the Special Investigation Department to serve as his assistant.

However, this opinion was rejected by Criminal Affairs Minister Uchimura Kanji, because the Special Investigation Department has essentially squeezed out the ecological niche of the Forensic Department. If more people are transferred, the Forensic Department will be in name only. Moreover, the Forensic Department is not only responsible for autopsies and writing reports, they also have many other duties and tasks. If people are transferred away, what will happen to the other departments?
But Minister Uchimura Kanji was, after all, a die-hard fan of Watanabe Eiji. Although he rejected Uesugi Sosetsu's proposal because he was afraid of trouble, he privately found him and Minami to tell Uesugi Sosetsu what to do about the matter.

Think about how you came to work at the Metropolitan Police Department?
You can arrange for the Tokyo Medical and Dental University's Forensic Pathology Department to recruit another doctor, and then we can second that person to the Metropolitan Police Department to serve as your forensic assistant in the Special Investigation Department. As long as you ask, with your influence, there is no way this department will refuse!
When you have made a contribution, this office will formally hire you as a forensic assistant like you!
After listening to this, Uesugi Sosetsu felt that it made sense.

As for how to convince Tokyo Medical and Dental University to add a new position, the Metropolitan Police Department will take care of it.

After all, we are a powerful department!
If it's the Tokyo University Hospital, it might not be so afraid of the Metropolitan Police Department, but for other hospitals, it's just a matter of a word.

于是，随着7月份到底，将东京都23区26市5町8村一个人扛在肩上的上杉宗雪正式放出风声。

Due to the heavy workload, we are now recruiting a forensic assistant from the whole society. Those who have rich experience in autopsy, are willing to cooperate in the investigation of crime scenes, and can contact corpses and undertake a large number of field tasks will be given priority!
The treatment is excellent, don’t miss this opportunity!
The legendary rookie forensic doctor, the last card of the Metropolitan Police Department, Kasumigaseki Sakuradamon, the Criminal Department's First Investigation Division, Special Investigation Officer Uesugi needs you!
