Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 268, I can't wait, hurry up and serve it!

The University of Tokyo Hospital, Japan's number one ranked hospital, ICU ward.

University of Tokyo President Komiyama and a group of Yonezawa Uesugi family members stood anxiously outside the ward.

It wasn't until Professor Funao, the director of the University of Tokyo Hospital, came out that Uesugi Hironori, who was leading the group, rushed up to him and asked, "How is he? Director Funao? What about Father?"

"Oh, it's nothing serious. Mr. Bang Xian is an elderly man after all. His blood pressure spiked due to anger, and he fainted because of his cardiovascular arteriosclerosis. He'll be fine after a few days of rest," Professor Funao said gently. "Don't worry, Mr. Bang Xian is in excellent health. Apart from mild anemia, decreased bone density, and a slight atrioventricular block, all his other indicators are normal. These are common aging symptoms and nothing to worry about. He can be transferred to a regular ward."

"Phew~" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the president of the affiliated hospital of Southeast University say that.

"Then I'll trouble Dean Hanou to take good care of him." Uesugi Hironori's heart finally settled down. The 51-year-old next head of the Uesugi family looked at his biological father through the glass and prayed in his heart.

Father, you absolutely must not fall ill!

Both Sentokumaru and Yukishomaru need time to develop. I can't shoulder this burden by myself. What will happen to the main family if you collapse?

This family is doomed without you!
Both the Uesugi and Maeda families faced similar problems: the heads of the families still held high positions of power and influence, but they were getting old and only a few years away from retirement, while the younger generation was not yet capable of taking over.

"You don't need to stay here anymore. Our University of Tokyo Hospital is already the number one hospital in all of Japan. Only the United States has medical equipment that is better than ours, Kunihiro-san..."

"Sentokumaru!" Before the words were finished, Uesugi Kuninori's voice could be heard from inside.

The Uesugi brothers, Muneyuki and Sadanori, exchanged a glance and decided to go in together.

Uesugi Kuninori sat up in bed, with a young and beautiful VIP nurse in white stockings supporting his back. The head of the family glanced at Uesugi Muneyuki, who followed him in, and forced a smile: "Yukimatsu Maru, what are you doing in here? It's not your wedding day."

“I am, after all, the second son of the Uesugi family.” Uesugi Muneyuki shook his head. “Anyway, it’s good that Grandpa is alright. Otherwise, I would definitely throw the head of the Kii Tokugawa family and that Tokugawa Ryuichi into Tokyo Bay.”

"Hehe, I saw you hit someone earlier, and quite hard. Are you alright?" Uesugi Kuninori's eyes gleamed as he nodded.

"Chief Kirenagawa has already ruled it as self-defense on my behalf, and the Kii Tokugawa family would absolutely not dare to sue," Uesugi Muneyuki said coldly. "Otherwise, he'll definitely be in big trouble."

"Hmm." Uesugi Kuninori turned his gaze to his older brother, Uesugi Sadenori: "Sentoku Maru, you don't need to stay here. Today is your big day. Hurry up and go home with your new wife to consummate your marriage."

"Grandpa! What are you saying?" Uesugi Sadonori was quite exasperated. After what had happened, how could he possibly be in the mood to consummate the marriage?
"If you really care about me, your most important task right now is to consummate your marriage and give birth to an heir as soon as possible. Otherwise, I have no other hope." Uesugi Kuninori closed his eyes in anger and shook his head repeatedly as he recalled what had happened today.

For these former Chinese, the most important thing was dignity.

He had exhausted all his connections and efforts for today's wedding, even getting the previous head of the Takeda family to sing on stage and creating a "Sixth Battle of Kawanakajima" reference for himself. He never expected it to turn out like this!

The youngest grandson, Uesugi Muneyuki, has already been given away, and the eldest grandson's wedding went wrong. Now the entire Uesugi clan has completely lost face!

However, Uesugi Kuninori thought this way, and Uesugi Sadenori also felt immense pressure. The thought that his younger brother had been sent to the Watanabe family and that his own wedding had turned out like this, and that his wedding had almost caused his grandfather's death, made Uesugi Sadenori feel as if he was being sucked into chaos. A pair of unseen hands were squeezing his heart tightly. Painful images and scenes from the wedding kept flashing back to him. He glanced at his wife outside and felt that her face was like that of Mara, the sixth demon king of the sixth heaven of the Desire Realm.

it's all my fault.

“However, perhaps this is for the best.” Just as Uesugi Sadenori was lost in thought, Uesugi Kuninori suddenly said with a relaxed tone, “With this commotion, Sentoku Maru, your admission to Tokyo University is secure.”

"Huh?" Uesugi Saden looked up.

“After such a huge incident, to make up for it, the entire Tokugawa faction will use all its connections and resources to get you into Tokyo University.” Uesugi Kuninori’s eyes were burning: “This is probably the last thing I can do for you with my old life.”

The Uesugi brothers, Sadanori and Muneyuki, were both taken aback, and Muneyuki immediately looked at his older brother.

Uesugi Sadanori first felt a pang of sadness, and tears welled up in his eyes. However, when he felt the gazes of his grandfather and younger brother, as well as his father, mother and wife outside the door, a terrible sense of suffocation engulfed the future head of the Uesugi family. He felt his whole body stiffen, as if his entire body no longer belonged to him.

"Extravagance and debauchery are short-lived, like a fleeting dream on a spring night."
The tyrannical and domineering will eventually perish, like dust rising in the wind.

The twin sal trees bloom in the morning and wither in the evening; each flower blooms for only one day, like the fleeting nature of life, one dying and one being born, one withering and one flourishing.

After everyone came out, Professor Funao, the director of the University of Tokyo Hospital and the president of the Japan Medical Association, suddenly called out to Uesugi Muneyuki: "Uesugi Muneyuki-kun, there are some things I want to discuss with you."

“Okay.” Uesugi Muneyuki was a little disgruntled. The two reached the corner of the stairs, and Professor Funao asked in a low voice, “What are your plans regarding the recent misdiagnosis of Professor Zaizen and patient Sasaki Yohei in your department? The second trial is coming up soon, isn’t it?”

“I’ve been busy with things at the Metropolitan Police Department lately and haven’t been paying attention to this matter,” Uesugi Muneyuki shook his head.

"Oh, it's alright. Anyway, you're the anatomist, and the patient's family will find you sooner or later. When that happens, whatever you choose to do is fine." Professor Funao patted Uesugi Muneyuki on the shoulder.

........................

Uesugi Muneyuki didn't know whether his older brother, Uesugi Sadanori, had consummated their marriage that night, and in any case, he wasn't in the mood to do anything that night.

The events at the wedding hung like a dark cloud over Uesugi Muneyuki's mind, causing him to be somewhat restless at work the next day. Fortunately, the old man was alright; otherwise, he would have stormed the Kii Tokugawa family's residence in Ikebukuro and made that unfilial son, Tokugawa Ryuichi, taste the bitterness of resentment.

However, it's no wonder that adopting sons-in-law is so popular in Japan. You can't choose your own son, but you can choose your adopted son. After all, they all have your blood in them, so it's better to find an excellent adopted son than to pass on the inheritance to a worthless son.

Similarly, the commotion at the wedding last night also sparked some rumors, including that the famous legendary forensic pathologist, Uesugi Muneyuki, assaulted someone and seriously injured them. Reporters immediately pounced on the scene like sharks smelling blood.

The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office confirmed the incident, but emphasized that the instigator forced their way into the wedding and attacked people first, which constituted legitimate self-defense. The District Prosecutors Office will not prosecute the incident.

Yoshiko Tokugawa, the head of the Kii Tokugawa family, also stated that this was a private matter and should not be made public, and apologized to the public for the disturbance caused.

Gossip magazines like Weekly Bunshun and Weekly Gendai continued to press the issue, but the Japanese public wasn't buying it. For East Asia, a region steeped in Confucian culture, disrupting a wedding is simply too much, especially for the extremely conservative Japanese. Even when Weekly Bunshun subtly questioned them, most of the responses were "serves them right."

Also because of this incident, out of remorse, Fuji TV's broadcast of "God's Hand SP" finally received the green light from the district public prosecutors. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office promised to file a public prosecution within two weeks. Once the public prosecution process begins, Fuji TV's on-site crime-solving reality show can be broadcast normally. However, since it involves corpses and murder, it still needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of Justice and the Metropolitan Police Department.

The news caused a sensation among the Japanese people.

Great! We can't wait any longer, bring it up quickly!

"Tsk, that's just the Japanese national character. They like the bizarre, they like police dramas, and they like mystery."

In the Special Missions Unit, Mikoto Ishihara sits at her workstation, mercilessly criticizing online comments: "Taking other people's suffering as a source of their own happiness, that's the worst trait of the Japanese."

"This isn't just a Japanese flaw; it seems like all of humanity is the same." Acting Special Missions Division Chief Inspector Okada, his forehead creased with exasperation, held a glass of iced Coca-Cola with lemon in it. "Ms. Ishihara, don't drag the Japanese into everything! Our people aren't that bad, are they?"

“That’s because you’ve never worked as a forensic pathologist, Okada-san. If you really worked as a forensic pathologist for a few years, you would feel hopeless about this society.” Mikoto Ishihara made a few exaggerated gestures: “Look at that Nakado Kei in the forensic department. He’s just a socially terrifying person who’s done too many autopsies.”

"It seems so. The First Division did mention that the forensic pathologist, Nakado, has a terrible temper." Inspector Okada didn't deny this: "But his professional skills are top-notch."

"Can anyone be as tough as Zong Xuejun?" Miss Minami casually remarked from behind her workstation.

“Indeed.” “Indeed!” “Indeed~” Okada, Ikeda, and Ishihara responded in unison.

Uesugi Muneyuki, tough! Incredibly tough!
Mikoto Ishihara, Erina Ikeda, and Minami Watanabe exchanged glances, their faces flushing slightly.

To be honest, it's true.

Uesugi Muneyuki was in a bad mood and stayed alone in the inner room. Because of what happened last night, no one dared to disturb him.

Today, however, the Special Missions Department has welcomed a special guest.

A young woman in a suit skirt cautiously approached the Special Missions Unit: "Um... is Forensic Examiner Uesugi here?"

"May I ask who you are?" Okada stepped forward.

"I am Higashi Saeko." The woman in the suit lowered her head and said very cautiously, "I have something I want to discuss with Forensic Inspector Uesugi."

"It concerns the lawsuit filed by the family of the deceased Sasaki against Professor Zaizen, the surgeon at Tokyo Medical and Dental University. Could I speak with him?"
