Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 209, New Ability "Death Flashback"

The feast at the restaurant was naturally treated by senior sister Mai. Uesugi Sosetsu's current income is about 600 million yen a year after tax and he has almost no living expenses, which makes him barely a small middle-class person. However, it is far from enough for a meal at a restaurant where the starting price is 10 yen.

A meal at a high-end restaurant starts at 10 yen, and even more expensive is common. Once a Japanese Prime Minister was found to have eaten at five different restaurants in Chiyoda Ward in half a month, spending a total of nearly 200 million yen.

This leads to the famous "ryotei paradox", which means that if he eats at ryotei this way, even the prime minister's salary is not enough to cover the cost of eating at ryotei (the Japanese prime minister's annual salary after tax is about 3800 million yen). So if the money he uses to eat at ryotei is his own, where does he get so much money? If the money he uses to eat at ryotei is not his own, then who entertained him? Is this considered a form of bribery?
The result of handling this incident was that a large number of high-end restaurants strengthened monitoring and supervision comprehensively, ensuring privacy and confidentiality to a greater extent, and preventing similar incidents of being secretly photographed from happening again. At the same time, two of the five restaurants involved were closed for rectification due to lax confidentiality, and the other two were also renovated.

We can't solve the problem, but we can solve the people who raise the problem!
Uesugi Sosetsu held senior sister Mai in his arms, feeling the delicate and smooth touch of Wolford stockings. He enjoyed a restaurant meal with the national goddess in his arms, making all Japanese men go crazy. He also told senior sister Mai about what he had encountered.

"This situation is very simple." Shirakawa Mai leaned against Uesugi Sosetsu's chest with her back leaning comfortably, and said calmly, "If it is true, the other party is a person from the other world, and has the ability to pass through walls or communicate over long distances. He does not need hypnosis or control, but can simply make Yamada Aika commit suicide through conversation."

"Similarly, if there is a similar ability, it would not be difficult to make Yui Hirasawa from Tokyo Women's University disappear." Senior Mai thought: "In other words, judging from this situation, although the other party is an existence from the other world, it should have just been obtained and is not low-key enough."

"Is that the sword-testing theory?" Uesugi Sosetsu nodded.

Human nature is like this. When they have a sharp weapon, they will naturally want to kill. Just like when samurai get a new sword, they can't help but want to test its sharpness. If someone gets the power of the other world, they will also want to test its strength.

After some discussion, Uesugi Sosetsu and Shirakawa Mai decided to go and take another look at Yamada Aika's body.

After finishing their meal and paying the bill, the two left the restaurant. Senior Mai gestured to Uesugi Sosetsu to hold her hand: "Let's go straight away! Mai flight, take off!"

Ok?
Before Uesugi Sosetsu could say whether he agreed or not, he was instantly stuffed into a twisted rubber pipe. The multi-dimensional space on all sides squeezed his soul and body, making the determined man groan in pain. The whole world was twisting and spinning in the air like plasticine, squeezing and relaxing. Every inch of his body was like garbage flushed into a sewer, moving rapidly along the pipe.

A few seconds later, senior sister Mai's pair of flesh-colored jade feet in black side-holstered pointed-toe high heels landed on the ground first, followed by Uesugi Sosetsu's sneakers.

"Ah~ Huh~ Uh~" Uesugi Sosetsu almost vomited. He found that the two people had fallen near a shrine, which was not far from the funeral home where Yamada Aika was cremated.

"The flight has landed safely. Passengers, please take your personal belongings and leave in an orderly manner~" Senior Mai said to Uesugi Sosetsu with a smile.

"What is this? Teleportation?" Uesugi Sosetsu knelt on the ground, dizzy and in pain: "Why do I feel like I'm being stuffed into a rubber tube and forced out?"

"Yes, this is teleportation." Senior Mai smiled and said, "My spiritual power marks the sacred stones and sacred trees of many shrines in the Kanto Shrine Alliance. As long as I want, I can teleport to any marked place."

"Let's go to the crematorium and check. I hope Ms. Yamada's body hasn't been cremated yet." Senior Mai didn't say much to Uesugi Sosetsu.

"Don't worry, considering the efficiency of the Japanese, it definitely won't be that fast." Uesugi Sosetsu said with a smile.

"You make it sound like you're not Japanese...Hold my hand tight, I can keep us from being discovered by anyone."

The two men swaggered into the funeral home through the main door. It was already night and no one was at work in the crematorium. They successfully found Ms. Yamada's body in the morgue.

Uesugi Sosetsu tried again, and a bright red color suddenly lit up in the azurite.

Sure enough, the situation was different this time. The Dead Soul Contract did not work, but another ability worked!

Although Yamada Aika's soul was very reluctant, it still spit out a blurry picture!

It was the scene before her death, in the cell of the detention center.

The scene began to flash back and reverse. In front of Uesugi Sosetsu and Shirakawa Mai, the scene before Yamada Aika's death was played in reverse.

From her suicide with a towel, to tearing the towel, to being comforted by the guards and psychologists, to her hysterical behavior, Uesugi Munen finally saw her strange behavior. She was seen saying something excitedly towards the corner of the house, crying and kneeling, begging for forgiveness, with a very humble attitude. Although I couldn't hear her specific words, there was no doubt that she was not mentally ill, nor did she see any hallucinations, but was really communicating with someone.

From then on, there was no longer any doubt that there really was a guy in the other world who used special methods to communicate with Yamada Aika, causing Yamada Aika to commit suicide.

Takigawa Tsubasa?
Uesugi Sosetsu immediately remembered the disappeared cowherd.

Yamada Aika's social circle is very narrow. As far as Uesugi Sosetsu knows, the only person who can make her excited is Ms. Kurosawa, besides the gigolo. Ms. Kurosawa has disappeared, and Yamada can kill her own aunt for money. Even if Ms. Kurosawa is not dead like Hironaka Mariko, can Ms. Kurosawa make her niece commit suicide out of guilt with just a bunch of nonsense?

Think more.

So the only possibility was the cowherd who escaped.

Of course, it could also be other gigolos.

"The evidence is still not sufficient." Uesugi Munen said to his senior sister Mai, "But we have confirmed that there is indeed such a guy inside. All we need to do next is to guard against his possible attacks."

Before Senior Mai could say anything, behind Uesugi Sosetsu, in the cabinet of the morgue, Hironaka Mariko's Curse pushed open the small window of the cabinet and slowly climbed out: "Leave it to me, Uesugi, we have memorized the smell of this guy, as long as he continues to commit crimes or appears nearby, I can sense it!"

When she met Hironaka Mariko again, Shirakawa Mai found that she still couldn't communicate with her, but senior Mai didn't care.

What belongs to Uesugi is mine! What belongs to Uesugi is also Uesugi's!
After experimenting in the morgue, Uesugi Sosetsu named his new ability Death Flashback.

This ability allows him to see the scene before the deceased's death, and he can roughly determine the cause of death of the deceased based on the scene and brief flashbacks.

This effect depends on the integrity of the deceased's body, the degree of cooperation and the time of death. For example, those who are unwilling to cooperate, such as Ms. Yamada, can only see a very short scene. However, another old man who was about to be cremated, Uesugi Munesetsu, saw the scene of his whole family saying goodbye to him one by one when he was about to die.

Dual cultivation really works! Uesugi Sosetsu excitedly squeezed Senior Mai's hand.

We haven't really practiced dual cultivation yet! Senior Mai pressed Uesugi Souyuki's forehead with her green jade fingers, indicating that if you follow me, there will be many benefits!
It was already late at night when the two finished their investigation, and Uesugi Sosetsu prepared to say goodbye.

Senior Mai held onto Uesugi Sosetsu's hand tightly and said, "Call Ah Xiuxiu and tell her that you have something to do and won't be back tonight."

"Huh?" Uesugi Sosetsu looked shocked.

"Fight now." A determined look flashed across Mai Shirakawa's beautiful face. "This isn't the first time you've faced threats from the other world. The last time was when we weren't partners yet, but not this time."

"Come home with me, and I will teach you the secret method of self-defense first."

Senior Mai had a playful look on her face after she finished speaking: "Uesugi-kun, you don't want to be attacked from the inside again and be helpless, right? I have a secret technique that is very suitable for you now."

"Also, if you are willing to come, Senior has a special gift for you!"

A special gift?
Uesugi Sosetsu really has a lot of things he wants to ask senior Mai.

Looking at the other party's elegant and attractive temperament and the undisguised determination in his eyes, Uesugi Sosetsu picked up the phone immediately without thinking.

"Are you embarrassed? I have something to do tonight so I won't be going home."
