Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 202: Daily Life of the Special Mission Department 2.0
In early August, at the Special Missions Section Office at the Sakuradamon Headquarters of the Kasumigaseki Metropolitan Police Department in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

In the air-conditioned office of the Special Mission Department, Uesugi Sosetsu was lying on the flesh-colored stockings-covered thighs of Department Head Minami Watanabe with a dead look on his face, with an expression that said "I can't take it anymore", which made Miss Minami feel both distressed and amused. She rubbed Uesugi Sosetsu's face with her hands as if she was rubbing a dog's head. Ikeda Erena was sitting next to him and smiled secretly, thinking, why is it just like petting a cat?
The acting chief of the Special Mission Department, Masayoshi Okada, was sitting on the other side holding an oversized thermos cup filled with about 800ml of iced cola.

Okada Masayoshi's wife hated him drinking Coke, or rather, his wife hated the fact that the police chief could find happiness anywhere other than with her: "Thank you for your hard work, Uesugi-san. You won't be so busy next time."

"Really... I've already told Director Uchimura and the others, how can you employ people like this? Isn't this just whipping a bull?" Miss Minami complained, "If it weren't for Souyuki-kun being sick from exhaustion, how could the office really consider our feelings?"

"Yeah." Okada Masayoshi nodded. He leaned back in his chair and sighed, "Finally I can rest for two days. I'm going to fall asleep here and don't wake up~"

Last month, Okada Masayoshi worked overtime for a total of 180 hours, including 8 hours on 83 weekends without a break, and an average of 3-4 hours overtime a day on the remaining working days. When he went to the Payroll Department to collect his salary, the female police officer was dumbfounded. How could someone get 54 in overtime pay a month?

But the special mission department reported 90 yen in overtime pay last month, of which Miss Minami basically received nothing, Okada Masayoshi received the most because he was a driver and did not ask for compensatory leave, Uesugi Soyuki and Ikeda Erena asked for compensatory leave so they received less, and they earned themselves 15 days of compensatory leave in a month.

After finishing in July, Uesugi Sosetsu had absorbed enough Po and needed some time to digest it, but the local police station's demand for the Special Mission Department was almost endless, so Uesugi Sosetsu had an idea and deliberately overloaded his body while absorbing Po, as if he had heatstroke, pretending to be sick.

July is the hottest season in Tokyo, and it was normal for him to get heatstroke as he repeatedly went out on field trips to perform autopsies. His pretense of illness made the Metropolitan Police Department panic. Watanabe Eiji immediately announced a temporary freeze on all activities of the Special Mission Department and convened a meeting of the Metropolitan Police Department. In just two days, he came up with a new charter.

First of all, from now on, local police stations will be given KPI assessments, and the comprehensive KPIs of crime clearance rate/number of cases solved/number of major cases will be quickly released under the planning of Watanabe Eiji.

Secondly, restrictions on indicators for various parts of Tokyo to seek help from the Special Mission System were established. That is, the Metropolitan Police Department assigned different "Emergency Special Order Indicators" to the 23 wards, 26 cities, 5 towns, and 8 villages in Tokyo based on the general economic level, population density, and public security level of different regions.

In short, since the regulations were introduced, the number of special mission support that each Metropolitan Police Department area divided by region can apply for in a year is fixed. If the number exceeds the limit, the department must apply directly to the headquarters and explain why it must use Uesugi Sosetsu.

Watanabe Eiji played this trick very cunningly - your abuse of the Uesugi forensic officer in July has already extended the use of the indicators to 70 years later!

However, the law does not have retroactive effect, so this year's overspending will be forgiven. But the regions can no longer directly request support from the special mission system, and the target will be reset to zero on March 3 every year.

Each region has very few indicators, and the power to give more or less is determined based on performance, and this power is in the hands of the Watanabe father and daughter.

For example, Kabukicho in Shinjuku is the direct line of Watanabe Eiji, and Ginza in Minato-ku is also the direct line of Watanabe Eiji. There are also important places such as Chiyoda, where more indicators are given and the reasons are very sufficient.

Relying on the active performance of Uesugi Muneyuki, the Superintendent General is further strengthening his power, and police stations everywhere are complaining but unable to resist. Who made them abuse Uesugi Muneyuki's ability, and the indicators are still in the hands of this department?
"Speaking of which, the new guy in the forensic department, Nakadō, is a really bad-tempered guy." Okada Masayoshi said to Watanabe Minami and Uesugi Munesetsu, "Because Uesugi-san has fallen this time, the job was handed over to Nakadō. That guy keeps calling me KUSOKUSOKUSO. Really! I feel like I can't communicate with him at all."

"Understand, Okada, not every forensic doctor has such a good temper as me." Uesugi Munen, who was lying on Miss Minami's lap, opened his eyes. "Forensic doctor work is a 7k job. It's dirty, tiring, and low-paid. It's already great to be able to recruit people. I've seen that Dr. Nakadō is a very capable person, but he just has a bad temper. For a forensic doctor, temper is nothing."

"If Dr. Nakadashi could be like you, Uesugi-san, and help the police solve the case by just looking at the corpse, not only would I have no problem with him, I would also toast him and treat him to yakitori, the kind with a lantern hanging on it." Okada Masayoshi said with a smile.

"Come to think of it, after you sent out your recruitment notice, no one has applied yet," said Ikeda Erena. The tall beauty had spent the whole morning working out in the Metropolitan Police Department's fitness room, hitting the sandbag hard.

This is also one of the reasons why Erina is unwilling to get married. Fitness and martial arts-oriented women like her emphasize high-consumption, high-intake, and high-intensity exercise. If they return to married life, take care of their husbands, raise children, and do housework, their body shape will easily get out of control.

"We can't help it. No one wants to be a forensic doctor, especially since the salary we offer is not high enough. Doctor Zhongtang is a graduate of the Medical University and officially joined the Forensic Department. He has an annual salary of 400-450 million. As for us, one is affiliated, the other is on secondment, and we also have to pay allowances. In the end, the annual salary we can get is only about 350 million. I don't know how many people are scared off." Uesugi Munen replied casually, "Maybe we have to wait a little longer, or wait until next year's graduation season to see if there are any fools who will come and fall into our trap."

"A fool like you?" Miss Minami giggled at what she said.

"That's right, I am the biggest fool. If I have a child who wants to study forensic medicine in the future, I will definitely break his legs." Uesugi Sosetsu sneered and said, "Don't listen to the propaganda materials that say forensic doctors speak for the dead and that forensic medicine is a science that exists for the future. These are all lies."

"Because they have never performed an autopsy themselves. They have to stand by the operating table for several hours, smelling the formalin and corpse odor that is more than ten times higher than normal. It is tiring, smelly and low-paying."

"Generally speaking, the more you praise a certain industry, the more it means that the remuneration of this industry is not commensurate with their efforts, so they must be given adequate moral compensation. Unfortunately, this is the case with forensic medicine. They start out with 300 million, and even after working hard to become a professor, their annual income cannot reach 1000 million, which is still a fixed salary. However, surgical and dental departments have already taken off with annual incomes of tens of millions. For example, the first surgeon's financial statement, he can make 200 million per surgery, and he doesn't even have to pay taxes."

"It's just like donating blood for free. If donating blood is really good for the body as advertised, will it be the turn of ordinary people? Members of Congress go first! We old Chinese have to wait in line for a spot!"

"Oxen and horses are just oxen and horses. You should first recognize your own position and stop being so self-satisfied. Those who persuade others to study forensics should eat at the same table with Nurgle."

Uesugi Sosetsu complained loudly on Miss Minami's legs, causing several people in the Special Mission Department to laugh.

Only Ikeda Erina asked curiously, "Come to think of it, I've never smelled the stench of a corpse on you, Uesugi-kun, only the scent of pine."

“…………” Uesugi Sosetsu thought to himself, I can’t tell you that I’m from the other world. Can the Qinghui Stone automatically help me dispel the stench of corpses?

"Hehe, that's because Ikeda, you've been with Sosetsu-kun for so long that you've gotten used to it." Miss Minami said with a wicked smile, "You can't smell it anymore~" "Huh? Is that so?" Ikeda Erena immediately began to check her body nervously, smelling the smell of her cuffs and armpits. Could it be that she had a corpse odor on her body? Was Uesugi enduring it all this time?
The silly tall beauty's behavior made everyone in the special mission department laugh.

"I was kidding, Ikeda." Miss Minami smiled and shook her head. "You didn't participate in the autopsy, so where did the corpse odor come from?"

"Mo~~" Ikeda then realized that he had been fooled and waved his fist in anger.

"By the way, what kind of assistant do you want, Uesugi-san?" Okada Masayoshi cleverly changed the subject: "For example, someone like Nakadō?"

"First of all, it must be a man." Uesugi Sosetsu pointed a finger. "Women are directly passed. Forensic medicine is a physical job and requires uncontrollable things and you have to be prepared at all times. Women are not considered for this. I also don't like a female assistant who has her period today, writes a short essay tomorrow saying that I am a workplace bully, gets pregnant the day after tomorrow and needs a leave, and then applies for a transfer when the child grows up to cause trouble back and forth."

"Are there really female forensic pathologists?" Okada Masayoshi was shocked and shook his head repeatedly: "I have never seen one in my life."

"Well, there is still one." Uesugi Sosetsu's eyes were dazed for a moment.

It was she who led me down this path. At that time, I liked to hang out in the school clinic and she had nothing to do, so she told me some knowledge of forensic medicine.

Speak for the dead and defend the rights of the living.

Unfortunately, I am not speaking for the dead, I am speaking with the dead.

"Of course, we won't consider women." Miss Minami said naturally.

"Besides that... the other requirements don't need to be too strict. Don't be too old. Just have a good physique and forensic skills." Uesugi Sosetsu thought that since no one had applied, there was no point in discussing these things now. "Also, you can have a stable personality, but don't like to use violence. The rest doesn't matter."

They chatted about some random things in the office. For example, if Uesugi Sosetsu hadn't gone to the grassroots level in person, he wouldn't have known that the local branch was so confusing. Anyway, when encountering a situation, as long as there is no 100% evidence of homicide, it is either confirmed that the person is missing or that he committed suicide. Then, for cases of fraud, theft, etc., most local branches will just register it, and if asked, it means they are investigating, and they cannot disclose the progress of the investigation, and if asked again, it means they have tried their best.

I tried my best, but I really couldn't find it.

"Come to think of it, Ah Xiuxiu is on vacation recently, and it seems that she hasn't been to Tokyo Disneyland yet?" Uesugi Munenyu suddenly asked, "Who of you two will take her there?"

"Bring it yourself!" Miss Minami and Erina said almost at the same time.

It's so hot outside, and I have to queue for hours to go to Disney. I won't go. There are fewer people in the off-season and it's almost the same as just being with you, both girls thought.

"Um... I've never been there." Uesugi Sosetsu was actually quite interested in Disney. In his previous life, in addition to Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, he also liked the Harry Potter series.

"Then you can take Asuka with you." Miss Minami said this, and suddenly shook her head: "No, let's forget about it for the time being."

"Yeah." Uesugi Sosetsu stood up and his phone rang.

It's Professor Ohkouchi from Tokyo Medical and Dental University.

"Uesugi-kun, here comes an applicant, 31 years old, female, to apply for your forensic assistant."

"Female?" Uesugi Munen immediately frowned: "Didn't I say I don't want females?"

"You didn't say you didn't want women. You just said you'd give priority to those who can travel a lot, come into contact with crime scenes, are good at dissecting corpses, and have a certain level of forensic science ability." Professor Ohkouchi said in a prim and proper manner, "I asked her a few questions and I think she's pretty good. Come over and take a look for yourself."

"I'll be there right away." Uesugi Sosetsu thought to himself, I'll find an excuse to get rid of her when I get there!

"Someone's here to apply for the job, and it's a female forensic doctor. Who of you wants to go with me to the hospital to take a look?" Uesugi Sosetsu put down the phone.

“No.”*3, Miss Minami, Inspector Okada, and Erina said at the same time.

"Okay, I'll go by myself."
