Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 275, Angry Birds
After learning that Uesugi Muneyuki had only come to pick someone up, the academic affairs teacher at Tsukuba University Affiliated High School breathed a sigh of relief: "Then may I ask what your relationship is with Saito Asuka?"

“I am Asuka’s mother,” Mikoto Ishihara said with a smile. “I’ve come to pick her up from school today.”

"Mom???" The high school's academic affairs teacher was stunned.

The career woman in front of me looks to be only about 27 or 28 years old, while Saito Asuka is definitely 16. Okay, even assuming she takes good care of herself, she's only about 35 years old this year, which means she had a child before she was even 20!
Animals!

The head of the teaching affairs office randomly turned his gaze to Uesugi Muneyuki.

Wait, that's not right. Everyone knows Uesugi Muneyuki; he's only 23 years old this year.

“She’s my assistant,” Uesugi Muneyuki said casually.

"Oh, I see~" The teacher in the teaching affairs office finally understood.

"Mr. Uesugi! And... Mikoto." Saito Asuka approached the two. The cute girl was extremely excited to see Uesugi Muneyuki come to greet her, her face flushed. Facing the man's gaze, she couldn't help but shyly lower her head: "Why the sudden change today..."

"I was passing by on my way to run some errands, and I happened to hear that your housekeeping department burned down, so I came to pick you up." Uesugi Muneyuki nodded. He still doted on the girl. She had suffered too much, and what he wanted to provide now was a safe and peaceful environment.

"Hmm!!!" Asuka ran happily to Uesugi Muneyuki's side, instinctively wanting to take his arm, but quickly realized that it was inappropriate, so she reluctantly took Ishihara Mikoto's arm instead.

That's all the use you have.

Dark Bird gave Ishihara Mikoto a disdainful look, warning her, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're my guardian! My only family is Mr. Uesugi!"

The forensic beauty smiled sneer and winked with her seductive eyes, implying that as your guardian, she could terminate the contract at any time so you wouldn't be able to be a full-time housekeeper. Moreover, the bond between her and Uesugi was beyond her imagination. Guess whether he would listen to her or her?
Well!
In the first round of clashes between the cheap mother and daughter, Saito Asuka was completely defeated!
However, this covert confrontation went completely unnoticed by outsiders. Once Uesugi Muneyuki appeared, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him.

"Oh my! It really is that legendary forensic pathologist, Uesugi-san! A descendant of Kenshin, the Dragon of Echigo!"

"The Chinese people, the Chinese people, this is what we imagined!"

"So young! How can he be so young? He's only 23 years old, right?"

"I can't take it anymore, ladies, let's start!"

"What exactly is the relationship between Uesugi-san and Saito Asuka? Why do they seem to not only know each other but also..."

"Could it be that Uesugi-san is Asuka's father? And that beautiful woman is Asuka's mother?"

"The age is wrong, isn't it? Hey! By that logic, Uesugi-san gave birth at 7? That's monstrous, monstrous work~"

"That devilish Uesugi, no wonder he's so good at autopsies, he's solved the case! (laughs)"

"Speaking of which, when can we finally watch that on-site crime-solving episode on Fuji TV? I can't wait, bring it on already!"

There was a lot of discussion in front of the school gate. As it stands, there should be no doubt that Ishihara Mikoto is Saito Asuka's mother, but no one believes that Uesugi Muneyuki is Saito Asuka's father.

Tokyo's legendary rookie forensic pathologist couldn't possibly be this monstrous!
"Um, Uesugi-san, I've always been your fan. Could you please sign my autograph?" Before the words were even finished, a short girl with pigtails and a cute chubby face rushed forward and offered her notebook.

"Um, I'm not a celebrity or a public figure, so let's forget it." Uesugi Muneyuki quickly waved his hand: "My autograph isn't very good either."

"None of those things matter!" The girl shook her head desperately. "Please, this is my lifelong request!"

“Okay… what’s your name?” Uesugi Muneyuki took the pen, got the name from the girl, and signed a line: “TO Akimoto Manatsu, study hard and make progress every day, BY Uesugi Muneyuki.”

"Me too!" "Me too, Uesugi-san, please sign one for me!" "Uesugi-san, please sign one for me too~" "Uesugi-san, can you sign your name here?"

After Uesugi Muneyuki signed an autograph for a girl, everyone immediately gathered around, mostly girls, but there were quite a few boys as well.

"What kind of idol meet-and-greet? Do they even have handshake tickets?" Uesugi Muneyuki thought to himself.

He casually signed a few names, then gave the teacher next to him a pleading look. Tsukuba University Affiliated High School was a prestigious school with a high level of teaching staff, and the teacher in charge of academic affairs immediately understood. He shouted at the students not to disrupt the campus order, and finally got them to disperse.

Upon seeing this, Saito Asuka's face darkened. She was both angry and annoyed, thinking, "These shameless bitches! Why are they all like that fat, tall woman, shamelessly clinging to me!"
JK is a niche that belongs only to me!
The girl pouted, which made Mikoto Ishihara, who was standing next to her, laugh.

However, it was at this moment that a Toyota Century parked at the school gate caught Ishihara Mikoto's attention, and she thought to herself, "What a high-end car."

The Toyota Century is known as "Japan's Rolls-Royce" and is Toyota's most high-end luxury model. Moreover, judging from the open door, the interior is also quite luxurious—handmade wool fabrics and wood trim.

A very dull and thin young man, looking very insecure, lowered his head and hunched his shoulders slightly. He slowly got into the car with the help of several waiters in suits. Inside the car was a lady in a Western-style dress. The young man glanced at Asuka nervously, and when he saw that Asuka hadn't noticed him, he looked a little disappointed. He then said a few words to the lady, who shook her head repeatedly. The waiters closed the car door and left.

"Who is that? Asuka-chan?" the forensic beauty asked with interest.

"It's that Yuuto-kun who burned down the housekeeping department." Asuka didn't even bother to look at him: "Idiot."

Just then, a Maybach pulled up at the school gate.

“My dad’s here, so I’m going back now. Goodbye, Asuka-chan!” Another blond-haired boy came up to greet her: “See you tomorrow!” “Oh, see you tomorrow.” Saito Asuka pursed her lips, maintaining only basic politeness. As if noticing Ishihara Mikoto’s confusion, she took the initiative to say, “His name is Mikami Ryoki, he’s a classmate.”

What she didn't say was that the blond-haired boy was immediately captivated by her beauty and began a relentless pursuit.

"Looks like Asuka-chan is quite popular at school~" Ishihara Mikoto patted the bird's head, having already guessed it, and teased, "Then I'm relieved."

"No way!" the girl said awkwardly. "And don't touch my head!"

Saito Asuka is quite proud of her popularity at school. If she was a girl with a sensitive and insecure side, now that she has Uesugi Muneyuki backing her up, Asuka only shows her sensitive and insecure side to Uesugi Muneyuki. To outsiders, she is quite cold and arrogant.

But why can't Mr. Uesugi feel my charm?

I'm incredibly popular and well-liked at school!

Could it be that Mr. Uesugi has been bewitched by that tall, fat woman?!
That's unhealthy and abnormal for a woman!

Just as Asuka was thinking this, Uesugi Muneyuki, who had managed to escape, approached with a smile: "Is that boy who greeted you someone you know? A good friend from your class?"

"No way!!!" Seeing the teasing look on Uesugi Muneyuki's face, the girl turned into an angry bird: "No way! I'm not familiar with him, Mr. Uesugi, please don't misunderstand!"

"I didn't misunderstand, Asuka-chan. You should always make more friends at school~" Uesugi Muneyuki said earnestly.

"No need! Except for Mr. Uesugi, no one else is needed!" The Angry Bird blushed and desperately tried to explain, afraid that Uesugi Muneyuki would misunderstand.

What if he misunderstands that I have someone I'm dating at school?
"Hahaha~" Uesugi Muneyuki didn't say anything, just laughed: "Let's go, we'll have your mom drive to the supermarket to buy some groceries and fruit, I've been craving strawberries lately~"

The three of them left in the Lexus that Uesugi Hironori had given to Uesugi Muneyuki, but the Maybach at the school gate remained in place.

The middle-aged man and his son on the bus stared intently at the backs of Ishihara Mikoto and Saito Asuka.

"Ling Hui, is that stunningly beautiful office lady Saito's mother?" The middle-aged man appeared to be in his forties, dressed impeccably in a suit and tie, his hair slicked back and shiny, though it was very thin.

"Yeah, that's right, she seems to be Asuka's mother. This is the first time I've ever seen her!" The blond-haired boy nodded repeatedly, exclaiming, "She's such a beauty! No wonder Asuka is so cute. A beautiful mother makes a beautiful daughter, but I wonder who Asuka-chan's father is?...?"

The blond-haired boy talked for a long time, but when he realized his father had no reaction, he looked up and saw his father staring blankly at the departing Lexus, drooling.

"Father?!" the blond-haired boy called out again.

"Oh? Oh!" The middle-aged man had only one thought in his mind at this moment.

I'm in love! I'm in love again!

The father and son looked at each other and suddenly understood each other perfectly.

"Father! So it was you too?" "Linghui! I'll definitely come to the next parent-teacher conference!"

Their hands clasped tightly together: "Long live understanding!"

The alliance between father and son has been formed!
........................

Uesugi Muneyuki was shopping at a large supermarket with Ishihara Mikoto and Saito Asuka. He casually picked up a box of strawberries and saw the "Shocking Price 1,980 Yen" on it, and couldn't help but click his tongue and shake his head.

Prices in Tokyo are quite high, especially for fruit.

The cheapest fruit Uesugi Muneyuki ate in Tokyo was five nearly rotten bananas on sale for 100 yen. Aside from that, fruit prices in Japan are really expensive, some even sold by the slice or the whole fruit.
For example, the famous Japanese watermelon often sells for 100 yen per slice, or 300-500 yen per kilogram. When Uesugi Muneyuki was young and didn't know much about prices, he once bought a Kumamoto watermelon and it cost 4800 yen per slice (excluding tax), which shocked him.

However, it would be unfair to say that Japanese watermelons are particularly expensive based on this. In fact, when Uesugi Muneyuki went to the countryside with his parents, the melon farmers would put the wild melons by the roadside. Small ones were 300 yen and large ones were 500 yen, and you could pick whichever you wanted. However, the taste and appearance were not guaranteed.

Watermelons sold in Tokyo have all been selected by the Japan Agricultural Cooperatives, with their appearance and sweetness controlled to ensure optimal taste and sweetness. However, this results in a price several times higher.
They specifically prey on residents of big cities!
Uesugi Muneyuki picked up a box of strawberries and some grapes, when a man dressed in a suit and tie, who looked like a manager, strode over to her. "Excuse me, are you Uesugi Muneyuki-san from the Metropolitan Police Department?"

“???” Uesugi Muneyuki nodded.

"Um... has anything happened nearby? Do you need our supermarket's cooperation in the search?" The manager asked cautiously with a smile. "If not, could you please explain to everyone? Otherwise, it might cause panic."

Uesugi Soyuki: "…………"

Looking up, he noticed that many people in the distance had stopped shopping and were standing in a row, pointing at him with curious expressions.

Finished!

He suddenly had a feeling that his peaceful life was slipping away from him.

Damn it, I'm there because there are cases, not the other way around!

I miss you, Mai-senpai. I need your invisibility ability!
We absolutely need this!!!
