Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 21, The Secret of the Other World
"Got it! Brother Uesugi, I suddenly feel that you have too many advantages. Think about it, you are not a member of our police system, and the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely not accept complaints against you casually because of the last incident. You have also helped her, and you are unmarried, so it is just right for you to deal with her!" Tanaka Laodeng said, his eyes getting brighter and brighter: "She will be left to you in the future! Isn't it a blessing to work with such a beauty?"

Uesugi Sosetsu kept his eyes slanted and said nothing.

Do you want this blessing given to you?

As expected of an old bitch who has been in the system for more than 20 years, she uses one trick after another, and claims to be doing it for your own good, but she drops the bomb on you without you realizing it.

"I don't think we are that close yet, Inspector Tanaka." Uesugi Muneyuki showed a playful look on his face. "Please deal with the affairs of your own department. I am just a forensic doctor, not a special commissioner of the Identification Division of the Metropolitan Police Department! What does Ikeda's affairs have to do with me?"

"Don't say that, little brother Uesugi..." Tanaka said with a bitter face: "In the future, if there is something wrong with our Criminal Division, we will definitely ask you to help us. In that case, Ikeda will be handed over to you."

Uesugi Sosetsu rolled his eyes. He was about to say something when his cell phone rang.

It was my brother, Uesugi Sadanori! He asked Uesugi Sosetsu to meet during lunch break.

"I have something to do in the afternoon. If you need me, you can contact me anytime." Uesugi Sosetsu finished his extra-large beef rice and said goodbye to Tanaka Ryuto.

"Of course, of course!" Tanaka Laodeng had a bitter look on his face. After finishing this meal, he would have to face his fate.

It’s uncomfortable.

"Oh, by the way, can you take me to Waseda University?"

"of course."

Half an hour later, in Shinjuku District, Tokyo, Waseda University main campus.

Waseda University, abbreviated as Waseda and Waseda, was founded by former Japanese Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma in 1882. The main campus is located in Shinjuku District, Tokyo. It is a world-renowned top research university in Japan and one of the most international universities in Asia. It is a private comprehensive research university.

This university belongs to the "super international A-type university" mentioned earlier. Unlike Uesugi Sosetsu's Tokyo Medical and Dental University, which is the tail end of the super international A-type universities, Waseda University is the top university among the super international A-type universities, and it has a total of ten campuses distributed in different regions across Japan.

Muneshige Uesugi's brother, Sadanori Uesugi, who is from the same mother as him, graduated from Waseda University and is currently working as an archaeological researcher at Waseda University. Since Muneshige Uesugi's last awakening was caused by touching the antiques brought back by Sadanori Uesugi, Muneshige Uesugi guessed that Sadanori Uesugi might know something, so he made up an excuse and asked his brother to help investigate.

Uesugi Sadanori did not refuse, he just said it would take some time.

Now maybe my brother has found out something.

"Have you eaten?" Uesugi Sadanori looks quite similar to Uesugi Sosetsu, and they are obviously brothers. The four walls of his office are full of books, ancient and modern, domestic and foreign, in multiple languages. Behind the desk is an oversized printer and fax machine. The sofa chair in the reception area in front of the desk is a typical sandalwood sofa, which is very hard and uncomfortable to sit on. There are some wooden carvings on the table, most of which are Buddhist sculptures. It can be seen that Uesugi Sadanori is also quite accomplished in Buddhist studies.

"I've eaten." Uesugi Munen sat down opposite Uesugi Sadanori: "Have you found out anything about what I said last time?"

"You are still so impatient." Uesugi Sadanori took a deep look at his brother. Compared with Uesugi Munesetsu, his brother had a much stronger scholarly air. He took out two documents from the file bag and threw them in front of Uesugi Munesetsu: "These are two records of the excavation of ancient tombs in the Middle Ages in the 1960s. Take a look."

Uesugi Sosetsu opened the two files and found that they were exactly the same, both recording an archaeological discovery.

"Himiko Tomb Incident".

In the 1960s, Japanese archaeologists discovered a large Kofun period tomb near Kyoto, which contained many ancient mummies. Archaeologists excavated and explored it.

Japan's history is divided into several eras, which can be divided into the ancient times, the Asuka Nara period, the Heian period, the Kamakura shogunate period, the Muromachi shogunate period, the Edo period, the modern times and the present according to different periods.

It is generally believed that Japan was not considered a proper country until the Asuka and Nara periods. Before that, the history of this country could basically only be confirmed by archaeology and the records of paying tribute to the Celestial Empire and studying there. The main thing was that it did not record history. It is generally believed that it was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, bestowed the "Golden Seal of the King of Wa" and the subsequent "tribute by the Wa Kingdom's special envoy" represented the beginning of the emergence of the country here.

Later, Buddhism was introduced to Japan and tomb burial became popular. The restoration of history during this period mainly relied on foreign records and local archaeology.

The two documents record the same thing, that is, many relics and corpses from ancient times were discovered during the archaeological excavation of the ancient tomb. Everything looked normal at the beginning. The only difference is that one was written in Japanese and the other was written in ancient Chinese.

The part written in Japanese became unclear and vague in the middle period. It first said that many difficulties were encountered during the excavation process and that people in the archaeological team were unwell one after another. For this reason, the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department (the name at the time) took over, and even later had to request the cooperation of the US military.

The file ends here.

The part written in ancient Chinese is completely different. It says that "during the excavation process, the archaeological team members were disturbed by hallucinations and strong physical discomfort", but they still overcame the difficulties and forced open the tomb.

The moment the tomb was opened, all the archaeological team members entered a strange space and were attacked by strange creatures. Not only did all of them die, but later on, strange creatures began to appear in the real world. The Osaka police were dispatched but were also unable to match the strange creatures. Finally, they requested the cooperation of the US army and used planes and artillery to completely eliminate these things, but the ancient tomb was also completely destroyed.

"This is..." Uesugi Sosetsu frowned. Due to his family tradition and the fact that he was originally from the Celestial Empire in his previous life, he could of course read ancient Chinese. "Why are there two written records of the same event that differ so greatly?"

"You should understand that the first file has been completely tampered with. All the weird things in it have been deleted. The second file is an old file in ancient Chinese left by the Kanto Shrine Alliance. Some key contents in it have been hidden, but we can still notice that some information remains in it, such as strange space and strange creatures."

Uesugi Sadanori also frowned when talking about this matter: "In the archaeological discoveries of past dynasties, I have found that there are very few documents with unclear texts. Unfortunately, my mentor didn't know either. If it weren't for the inheritance of family knowledge, we all learned a little ancient Chinese and are descendants of Kenshin and Yonezawa Domain. Otherwise, I guess no one would be able to understand these old ancient Chinese archives of the Kanto Shrine Alliance."

"Kanto Shrine Alliance..." Uesugi Sosetsu thought that he seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.

"In addition to this one, there are several other archaeological records that are also vague, but I lack old files to verify them, such as this one." Uesugi Sadanori took out a report on the excavation of archaeological relics in Nagano Prefecture. The report also became vague in the middle period, and all the archaeological team members were missing.

"Are there any other old files?"

"No more." Uesugi Sadanori shook his head helplessly: "I only found this one, or it should be said that this is the only one you and I can understand. The Americans probably thought it was some ancient Chinese document that was missed because it was an old file, so they didn't destroy it."

Uesugi Munen understood that it was not that only this incident existed, but that only this old file in ancient Chinese could be understood by Uesugi Sadanori.

"Are you so sure that it was the Americans who did it?" Uesugi Sosetsu couldn't help but shake his head.

"Humph! It must be the Americans who did this!" Uesugi Sadanori was extremely arbitrary about this. He pushed his frameless glasses and his expression was full of disgust: "I even think this was all directed and acted by the Americans."

"Anyway, you mentioned something supernatural to me last time, and I remembered this." After venting his anger, the elder brother regained his composure: "Pay attention, the Kanto Shrine Alliance calls the strange space the 'inner world', and our world is called the 'outer world'... Zong Xue, didn't you come across something stolen?"

"Me?" Uesugi Sosetsu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm the same as you. I found a similar situation in the hospital morgue. Some files were deleted."

"Mongxue...be careful." Uesugi Sadanori didn't know whether he accepted his words or not. His brother didn't stand up to see him off, but just said meaningfully: "According to the records in the old files, the corpses of the strange creatures in the other world will soon automatically decompose and disappear..."

Uesugi Sosetsu's eyes flickered, he whispered that he knew, and then asked if he could take it away.

Uesugi Sadanori naturally gave a negative answer, and the two brothers said goodbye to each other.

In the afternoon, Uesugi Sosetsu did not return to the hospital. He went straight back to his apartment in Bunkyo Ward.

Uesugi Sadanori's investigation has shown that supernatural powers do exist in this world, but they have been deleted and hidden very deeply. In addition, the Osaka Prefecture police were unable to solve the problem independently, but they were able to solve it with the help of American planes and artillery. Therefore, supernatural powers should be greater than ordinary pistols but less than heavy firepower.

Interesting, and relatively accurate in Uesugi Sosetsu's assessment of his own strength.

In this case, Uesugi Sosetsu suddenly thought of a possibility.

So far, he has seen many corpses for Otsuka Police Station, and the only one among them who triggered the contract but did not accept the salvation, but instead took the initiative to possess and gave him the incarnation skill was Ms. Kurosawa. Perhaps she might know something.

He did what he said. Uesugi Sosetsu nodded to the front desk of the apartment property downstairs and took the elevator back to his apartment.

He summoned the remaining soul of Ms. Kurosawa, and the moment he summoned the remaining soul of Ms. Kurosawa, the whole house turned deep red.

[Handsome boy? Are you calling me? ]

The residual soul of Ms. Kurosawa appeared in the Dharma image of Aizen Myo-o, and her appearance directly made Uesugi Sosetsu confirm certain things - Ms. Kurosawa was wearing a standard red and white shrine maiden's uniform. Although she was over sixty years old, her figure was bloated and no longer as slim as when she was young, her hair was gray, her forehead was slightly bald, and her face was covered with wrinkles, but there was no doubt that she should have been a shrine maiden!
[Handsome boy...] Uesugi Sosetsu always felt it was strange for a shrine maiden in her sixties to call her like that.

[You look better than the most handsome gigolo I've ever dated!] Ms. Kurosawa replied with a smile: [We have the approval of our Kurosawa Shrine!]

[What is Kurosawa Shrine? Do you know the other world? What is your connection with the other world?] Uesugi Munen couldn't help but ask: [Do you have supernatural powers?]

[Young handsome boy, you are so serious... I am the 27th generation descendant of Kurosawa Shrine.] Ms. Kurosawa said these things with a flat mouth and a nonchalant attitude: [The secret technique that we practice is called Nengduan Vajra.]

[The Diamond Sutra? The Taisho Shinshu Daizokyo?] Uesugi Sosetsu's eyes widened: [Indian Mahayana Buddhism?]

[Sorry, I don't understand these.] As a result, Ms. Kurosawa shook her head repeatedly and showed no interest: [I don't know the inheritance of our shrine. The successive generations of shrine maidens choose to inherit the shrine by secretly choosing a girl under the age of sixteen in the village. No one knows what the selection criteria are. I was suddenly selected when I was fifteen. I don't know anything about what you are talking about.]

[What is the ability to break the diamond? ] Uesugi Sosetsu thought to himself that he was confused again: [Do you know the other world? ]

[The ability to break the diamond is... stock trading] When Ms. Kurosawa talked about this, she bowed and laughed: [I don’t know that much, I just know that the countryside is too boring. I’m not a boring old woman like my master who can sit all day with a cup of tea and a collection of Japanese poems. I like Tokyo, I like nightclubs and bars, so I came here.]

[I use my Neng Duan Vajra Method to trade stocks. I can roughly tell whether the stock market will rise or fall in the next few months. Although it is not always accurate, most of the time it can come true. Isn’t this like picking up money for me? ]

Superpower stock god, right? Very good.

Uesugi Sosetsu curled his lips: [Does your master and the shrine have any objections? ]

[Of course, in addition to the money from stock trading, I donated a lot of money to my hometown and renovated the entire shrine.] Ms. Kurosawa couldn't help but feel proud: [The life of a shrine maiden is so boring, and the days in the capital are colorful and colorful. I have never regretted it.]

Uesugi Soyuki: "…………"

Ms. Kurosawa told Uesugi Sosetsu something in bits and pieces.

It turned out that after Ms. Kurosawa gained some supernatural powers, she should have learned from her master to tell fortunes and pray for people, but she had no interest in the boring country life. She went to Beijing alone, used her abilities to trade stocks and made a lot of money. She lived a good life and also donated to her hometown.

However, supernatural powers could not fight against the stock market crash, and Ms. Kurosawa eventually suffered heavy losses when the bubble economy burst. Even so, she still had a lot of money left, and it was because of this that Ms. Yamada kept asking her for donations from the gigolo.

Ms. Kurosawa herself is also a gigolo fan and has opened a champagne tower worth 500,000 yen for a gigolo. Ms. Yamada Aika's habit was purely acquired from her. The difference is that Ms. Kurosawa has quite a bit of savings, while Ms. Yamada has no regular income at all.

At this point, Uesugi Sosetsu's sympathy for Ms. Kurosawa had mostly disappeared.

Lao Deng, you too?!

[What do you know about the other world?] Uesugi Sosetsu focused on the key points. He didn't want to waste time.

[Unfortunately, my knowledge of the other world is very limited. I am not interested in those things, but if you are interested, I remember there are some books about this in the shrine. Maybe you can find something.] Ms. Kurosawa is really unlearned. Her master wants to teach her, but she is unwilling to learn.

【Where is Kurosawa Shrine? 】

[Gunma Prefecture, our shrine is a member of the Kanto Shrine Alliance] Ms. Kurosawa said: [But after me, there will be no more shrine maidens. I am the last generation of Kurosawa shrine maidens. ]

The Kanto Shrine Alliance again?

"Very good." After confirming the location of Kurosawa Shrine, Uesugi Sosetsu almost subconsciously wanted to investigate it right away.

But he held back.

According to Ms. Kurosawa, the Kurosawa Shrine is now abandoned. Without the inheritance of the shrine maidens, there is no one guarding it.

The shrine maiden needs to maintain the shrine's barrier regularly, otherwise something bad will happen.

However, there are no more shrine maidens at Kurosawa Shrine now.

According to the information his brother had given him, the monsters in the other world could not be defeated by the sigs in the hands of the police, and had to be eliminated by the planes and artillery of the US military.

It would be a miracle if the only skill I have, [Hardness], could defeat the monsters from the other world!

Be careful! Be more prepared.

Uesugi Sosetsu thought for a while and suddenly found the direction.

Internally and externally.

It is particularly important to work hard on your body, learn fighting techniques, and enhance your own combat effectiveness.

We must hold on to the Metropolitan Police Department even more tightly!

[Anyway, tell me everything you know about the other world.]

【Okay. 】
