Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 25, Very comfortable!
Is this the end of the investigation?

Ikeda Erena always felt that something was not real when she followed behind Uesugi Sosetsu. Even though Uesugi Sosetsu tried to explain, she was still a little confused.

I have no evidence and cannot convict the male PR named Takigawa Tsubasa, but Uesugi Muneyuki also has no evidence. Why can he be confident that he can solve the problem after getting a response by probing with a jargon of "young chondog"? Isn't this also a solitary evidence?
Moreover, his ideas were so wild and illogical that there was no logic at all. Ikeda Erina didn't understand how Uesugi Sosetsu associated the club with the Yakuza.

However, he did give people a very strong sense of security. This man exuded strong confidence in his every move, and his attitude of being determined to get to the bottom of the matter and give an explanation to the deceased Ms. Kurosawa was really to the liking of the tall beauty. Ikeda Erena also planned to do so. She had planned to achieve her goal at all costs.

She would never let go of the scum who played with women's feelings and money, squeezed all her value and then instructed them to kill people! Otherwise, why did she become a police officer?
"Let's go back to the police station now." Uesugi Sosetsu nudged his nose with his middle finger and frowned: "Although we have reached a conclusion, we still have to go back and report to Section Chief Sudo and let Section Chief Sudo contact the Metropolitan Police Department."

"Why?" The tall beauty opened the car door and sat naturally in the driver's seat. Her long legs swayed. Even though they were covered by suit pants, their toned and slender legs could not hide their amazing length and straight shape. Moreover, Ikeda Erena's body shape was not the traditional Sakura girl's short legs and pigeon-toed body shape. Her every move gave off a feeling of her unique, mature, soft and swaying flesh.

But her very young face had a firmness and stubbornness that the Sakura girl did not have, and her expression was sharp. This unique temperament made Uesugi Sosetsu couldn't help but look at her again.

It’s a pity that such beautiful long legs don’t wear stockings.

At the moment, we can’t confirm whether she is wearing stockings under her pants…

No wonder they say that working together as a man and a woman is not tiring. With such a tall and beautiful policewoman working together, Uesugi Sosetsu feels that his work is much easier and he is in a good mood.

"Ms. Ikeda, you are just a low-level inspector. You are not qualified to investigate the case alone." Uesugi Sosetsu sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt. "Unfortunately, I am just a forensic doctor. I am not qualified to investigate the case alone. Ms. Ikeda, we can exploit loopholes in the system, but we cannot confront the system head-on."

What Uesugi Sosetsu said was absolutely right, and Ikeda Erena nodded reluctantly to show her agreement.

She gradually felt that it was indeed very comfortable to get along with Uesugi Sosetsu. In the past, as soon as other men finished speaking the first sentence, Ikeda would subconsciously refute them, but when talking to Uesugi Sosetsu, she found that she could listen patiently and think before speaking.

"Will Section Chief Sudo believe us?" Erina stepped on the brake and pulled the handbrake.

"That depends on how we tell him." Uesugi Sosetsu gestured to leave it to me.

Driving back to Otsuka Police Station in Bunkyo Ward, the last ray of sunset was stubbornly hanging in the gaps between the high-rise buildings, reluctant to leave for a long time. It was almost six o'clock in the evening, and Otsuka Police Station was preparing to go off work. Many clerical and non-criminal traffic duty police officers were slowly leaving the station in twos and threes.

"I don't know if Sudo and Tanaka have finished get off work yet." Uesugi Munen said casually in the passenger seat: "If they have finished get off work, we can only wait until tomorrow."

"How dare they leave work when the incident is not resolved yet?" Ikeda Erena was busy all day and was in good spirits. When she heard what Uesugi Sosetsu said, the tall beauty waved her fist in anger and said, "We must stop them."

"Get off work on time, and do the rest tomorrow. That's what civil servants do, Ms. Ikeda. Didn't I tell you not to bring work into your life?" Uesugi Muneyuki couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Work is work, and life is life. If you can't distinguish between the two, you will be very tired, and the people around you will be very tired too. If they really need to work overtime, they will definitely stay."

"You too?" Ikeda Erina snorted coldly, "Since we are accomplices, you are not allowed to escape from the battlefield."

"of course."

The two got out of the car, Uesugi Sosetsu went out first, Ikeda Erena parked the car, got on her small bag, and followed quickly with the clatter of her leather shoes, following Uesugi Sosetsu very naturally. The two were less than one meter apart, walking side by side with natural expressions and a relaxed conversation, which easily attracted waves of discussion and surprise from the people around them who were getting off work.

Although Uesugi Muneyuki only started participating in autopsy work three months ago, he has become almost a household name in Otsuka Police Station. Except for the Criminal Division, almost everyone in the police station has heard of his talent in autopsy and witnessed his charm.

For two consecutive months, the Criminal Division had a 100% case-solving rate and a 100% arrest rate. If it weren’t for the problem with Ms. Yamada’s case some time ago, the entire Criminal Division would have been commended by the Metropolitan Police Department!
Even without talking about these, just in terms of appearance, Uesugi Sosetsu is handsome and his every move exudes a natural elegance and the nobility of a famous family, so it is natural for him to attract attention.

And Ikeda Erena is a famous "boss killer" throughout Tokyo. She is tall and has a mixed-race appearance, a strong and tenacious temperament. She is both a cold goddess-like figure and a feared workplace killer, a self-propelled complaint and trouble wholesale machine.

Each of them would be a focal figure and a topic of conversation anytime they were taken out individually, not to mention that the two of them actually appeared together at this time. Moreover, Ikeda, who has always hated men, was able to communicate normally with Uesugi Sosetsu, and they didn't have to keep a distance of five or six steps between them like the other policemen.

This was big news that was enough to shock the entire Tokyo police community, not to mention that Ikeda was a well-known rumor center. Ever since she entered the police force as a non-professional and took the initiative to request to work in the field, this mixed-race policewoman was considered to be a beauty who would definitely be transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Relations Division in the future to serve as a representative of etiquette and image. Anyone who wanted to pursue her could go around the Sakurada Gate Metropolitan Police Department headquarters.

Not to mention potential admirers.

But let alone pursuing her, all the men who came into contact with her had a tragic ending. After Erena Ikeda reported her many times with her real name, no man dared to look at her face or stay within five steps of her.

"Look! Section Chief! Department Head!"

Asako Kuwahara, who was about to pack up and go home from get off work, was like she had discovered a new world. She jumped up and down with Tanaka Ryuto and Sudo, who were also about to go home from get off work.

"Namo San, it's true!" Tanaka Laodeng stuck his head out of the window, dumbfounded: "Little brother Uesugi, how did you do that?"

"It's hard to understand, really hard to understand, could it be that the two of them are actually in love?" Sudo put his briefcase on the table: "But they just met, right?"

"This kind of thing is hard to predict!" Asako Kuwahara felt that his heart of longing was broken, completely shattered and in tatters. He covered the murderer with his hand with a look of grief on his face.

What is a high-class beauty? What is a mixed-race beauty? What is a tall model?

It had only been a few days since I met Uesugi-san and I was brutally taken down?

Looking at Uesugi Sosetsu's calm and cool temperament and his face that made her feel ashamed of herself, Kuwahara Asako could not say anything to refute and did not feel jealous.

It seems like they are a good match!

No, they are quite a match.

But why does my heart feel so tight?

I understand. This is the stench of modern life. This is the sour smell of love. This is...

While he was still thinking, Uesugi Ikeda and the other man had already entered the police station building, and Sudo, Tanaka, and Kuwahara were nowhere to be seen. All three of them had an evil idea at the same time.

Hehehe~Hehehehehe~
Our local branch’s forced marriage tactics are ready.

Witness the Criminal Division Crash!

As soon as they entered the building, Uesugi Sosetsu and Ikeda Erena felt the gazes of the people around them and the chattering sounds, but when Ikeda Erena looked over, the people nearby immediately fell silent, avoided their gazes, and moved away on their own initiative.

"Boring." Ikeda Erina said coldly, stomping the heels of her leather shoes on the ground with a little more force.

"What do you think they are talking about?" Uesugi Sosetsu seemed to not care at all. He didn't care about other people's looks at all. He was an ultimate realist who could directly tell patients "It's cancer, there's no cure, just wait to die."

"Can't you think of it?" Ikeda Erena glanced at Uesugi Sosetsu, her light brown eyes filled with intense hatred.

"What can happen between an unmarried man and woman? Rumors." Uesugi Munen put his hands in his pockets: "When I was in college, I just exchanged notes with a girl in the same class, and it was thought that we were dating."

"These guys are so boring. If they get a little closer, they think they are dating. If they dress up a little, they think they are going on a date." Ikeda Erena's sharp eyes first became fierce, and then began to dim rapidly, as if she remembered something bad. Her mood changed so quickly that Uesugi Sosetsu didn't say what he originally wanted to say, "Just walking around is love, and if we eat together, it's the same as spending the night together."

A woman's emotions are so unfathomable that sometimes the same words can please her one moment and offend her the next in different situations.

Uesugi Sosetsu admires Ikeda Erena's beauty and tall, toned body, but that doesn't mean he will take the initiative to launch an offensive.

It's not like there are no women around him now. He must be sick to take the initiative to such a female detective with a bad temper and sharp personality who has seen off three superiors.

He was mainly attracted by her martial arts.

Coming to the Criminal Division on the third floor, Uesugi Sosetsu and Ikeda Erena told Sudo Butt and Tanaka Nodori their findings today. Sure enough, upon hearing that Ikeda dared to act alone and even dared to disturb Uesugi Sosetsu, Sudo Butt could not hold back and started to scold Ikeda Erena. It was obvious that this guy was really angry. He told Ikeda Erena directly that if such a thing happened again, even if he was punished by the Metropolitan Police Department, he would kick her out.

Ikeda Erena stood up straight and lowered her head, silently enduring the criticism from her boss. Judging from her bleak and gloomy expression, she had already gotten used to it.

But this time, Uesugi Sosetsu stopped her and said, "This matter also has something to do with me. It was me who suggested going with Miss Ikeda."

Once again, Uesugi Sosetsu stood up for Ikeda Erina and forcibly interrupted Sudo's butt casting.

"But little brother Uesugi? Why?" Tanaka Laodeng said impatiently. It was time to get off work, and Laodeng really didn't want to stay even a second longer. If there was anything, he could do it tomorrow. A civil servant should have the awareness of a civil servant.

Work is work, life is life!

"Curious." Uesugi Sosetsu frowned, "You should have all read the report I wrote, right?"

"Brother Uesugi, we need evidence when we investigate a case. Your judgment is brilliant. I, Sudo, Tanaka, and Kuwabara all recognize your ability. However, if we want to arrest you, we are still missing a key piece of evidence."

Sudo's attitude towards Uesugi Soyuki and Ikeda Erena is completely the opposite. The former is a nobleman who helped them get the first place in the Metropolitan Police Department's evaluation for two consecutive months in the Criminal Division of Otsuka Police Station and also saved them once. In Sudo's eyes, the latter is just a troublemaker and a boss killer who is looking for trouble.

"This matter does not require evidence." Uesugi Sosetsu said lightly.

"But, if there is no evidence, the Procuratorate and the Metropolitan Police Department..." Sudo looked very embarrassed.

"That gigolo should have been a fringe member of a gang. For gangs, isn't it the presumption of guilt that they are arrested first?" Uesugi Sosetsu continued.

Yakuza have no human rights at all. If Ms. Yamada was a Yakuza, her body would have been covered with holes when she touched the knife, and she would have passed the seventh day of her death.

At that time, the Metropolitan Police Department will say: The other party just had a knife, why did you shoot?
Tanaka, Lao Deng and the other two: She is a Yakuza.

Metropolitan Police Department: Oh, that’s okay.

"That won't do either! Uesugi, little brother! Is the Metropolitan Police Department owned by your family?" Sudo couldn't help shaking his head again and again: "The Metropolitan Police Department has a special department for dealing with gangs, so they don't really need evidence, but..."

Sudo didn't say the next words, which were that if he was the chief of the Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division 1, he could directly dispatch to violent gangs without any evidence, but he was only a chief of the local police station, how could he mobilize such a level of resources...

"You must know someone in the public security department, right?" Uesugi Munen interrupted Sudo again: "Am I telling you about the former Yakuza instructing Ms. Yamada to deal with the crime scene of the corpse?"

"I'm telling you about a former gang member who changed his identity and entered the gigolo club, using it as a venue to remotely control Ms. Yamada's crimes, and conducted illegal financial activities through tips and champagne towers." Uesugi Muneyuki tapped the table with his fingers. "Is there any connection between this murder and the entire gang organization, the PR club, and even the flow of funds in the club? I'm talking about this matter."

"Yes." Every time Uesugi Sosetsu said something, Sudo's eyes brightened a little, and as he continued speaking, this guy's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Yes, yes~ yes!"

How could this be looking for trouble? This was clearly a major discovery! This was a meritorious service!

Without any instructions, Sudo immediately grabbed the phone on the table and dialed the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Hello, is this Ichijo-san from the Public Security Division? Yes, I'm Sudo from the Otsuka Police Station. We've made a new discovery during this investigation... Yes, it's the guy who attacked the police last time. Yes, we found out that the male host who opened the champagne tower might be a former gang member. He seems to be using... OK, OK, OK, no, this is all for the safety of the people. We at the Otsuka Police Station have an obligation to crack down on gang crimes and financial cases!"

After hanging up the phone, Section Chief Sudo smiled and said, "The Metropolitan Police Department said they will immediately launch an investigation! Brother Uesugi, you have done us another great service!"

"Get off work, get off work! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha~" The three guys from the Criminal Class smiled happily, turned off the lights and prepared to leave.

"Let's get off work too." Ikeda Erena was still there. Sudo and the other two looked at her as if she were the plague god, and went through another door instead of approaching her. The tall beauty stood straight with her back straight, and her suit pants hung straight to the ground as she stood like a lone pine tree. Although she was tall, she still felt lonely facing the empty classroom, so Uesugi Sosetsu took the initiative to say, "I'm hungry."

After saying that, Uesugi Sosetsu took the initiative to open the door of the Criminal Division and held it for her.

Ikeda Erena finally reacted. She didn't say anything, but a hint of tenderness flashed in her beautiful eyes.

This kind of detailed action is very useful for her who is delicate and sensitive.

"You helped me again, thank you." The tall beauty thanked Uesugi Sosetsu very seriously.

"What's the big deal? Didn't I tell you that we are accomplices?" Uesugi Sosetsu forced a smile and was about to say it was nothing, but because he had to reply, his eyes couldn't help but sweep across Ikeda Erena's miraculous plumpness, staying for a few seconds before moving away.

So shaking!

Ikeda was extremely sensitive to this kind of gaze from men, and she reacted immediately to Uesugi Sosetsu's gaze.

You are already dead!

This man has flaws everywhere!

Just as the tall beauty was about to knock the hateful man down with a front elbow and a side kick, Uesugi Sosetsu's previous words suddenly passed by her ears.

"I'm a man too!"

Oh, now you are a man again?
Ikeda Erina looked at him with contempt in her heart, and put down her elbow that was about to hit.

Forget it, since he has always helped me, I will forgive him this time. I finally met a normal, communicative and knowledgeable man. I still need his help if I want to continue doing this job.

The tall beauty resisted the urge to slap Uesugi Sosetsu's handsome face, stepped over the goal line, and motioned for us to go.

"I feel like your expression just changed. Is it my illusion?" Uesugi Sosetsu sensed Ikeda's change of mood and thought, "Did I do something wrong?"

"It's your illusion." The tall beauty turned sideways and passed by Uesugi Sosetsu. The sunflower scent from her body suddenly became stronger. It was hard to imagine that a woman who used such a hot, lively and cheerful perfume (or maybe body odor) always had a cold and indifferent tone and expression.

"Okay, I'm going to have dinner, do you want to come with me?" Uesugi Munen asked casually. He took out a few coupons from his pocket: "These are given to me because I ate too many times. Let's go together and get a discount? 1500-200 yen!"

"Pfft... No, you go find Tanaka and Sudo." The tall beauty received a dinner invitation for the first time, "Let's go to Yoshinoya to get a discount together." She couldn't help laughing, and quickly shook her head to control her expression: "I have something else to do."

"Oh." Uesugi Sosetsu really just said it casually. Seeing that Ikeda Erina was not going, he really turned around and left: "Goodbye."

Well, it seems that this is not a routine. This man is really just looking for a dining companion.

A strange feeling arose in Ikeda Erena's heart.

In the past, she would instinctively get angry when she received that kind of stare or look, and if a man came too close, she would uncontrollably hit him.

But it was different for Uesugi Sosetsu. This man's approach and gaze did not seem to trigger the alert instinct of her body and brain. She felt very comfortable with him and was able to control herself.

Ikeda sighed deeply. It was the fourth year since she was admitted and she had already changed five police stations. Even someone as stubborn as her knew that if something went wrong again, she would really not be able to continue in the police force.

There are still normal men in the city!
　Gangs have no human rights, but other people do the same. Suspects in gangs are arrested first, and as long as they dare to resist, Japanese police will shoot them directly, because these people are not considered human beings.
