Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 312, good, very energetic!
The first person to walk in was a handsome man who was about 175 cm tall with a slightly brown hairstyle that partially covered his face. He had a slender figure, wore a suit, and had an extraordinary temperament. He looked very handsome. He was carrying a large cardboard box, but he did not have the restraint of a newcomer at all. Instead, he was full of composure. His rolled-up sleeves exuded a relaxed feeling and a slight arrogance.

The three leaders of the Minami, Uesugi, and Okada Special Missions Group knew who he was just by looking at his file.

Kai Kyou is the son of Kai Mineaki, the Vice-Minister of Justice.

"Here you are, Masayoshi, Minami." The newcomer showed no awareness of being a newbie; he sighed and placed the cardboard box on the table: "Where is my workstation?"

“Here,” Okada Masayoshi retorted, “Kiyoshi, this place is different from the Nakane Agency! It’s true you have powerful backers, but who here doesn’t?”

"I know~" Kai Toru put his box on his workstation, took out his Samsung Galaxy phone from his pocket, plugged in his Sony headphones, and said impatiently, "I know why I was transferred here, but I have to tell you, I never liked calling him father!"

"Did I ask you?" Minami rolled her eyes. "And what kind of attitude is this? Get up and stand properly!"

"Yes~" The handsome brown-haired man rolled his eyes as well, stood up at attention, and said, "Superintendent, Inspector, and Forensic Officer! Greetings!"

"Take a break first, and wait for the others to arrive before you introduce yourselves." Uesugi Muneyuki glanced at the young man with interest.

Kai Tsutomu, a 27-year-old detective in the Nakane Police Station's Investigation Division, is a patrol officer. Contrary to his seemingly lazy demeanor, he is actually a very righteous and pragmatic individual who is always at the forefront of criminal investigations.

His father, the Vice Minister of Justice, held a rank equivalent to a deputy minister, the same as Superintendent General of Police Eiji Watanabe, but lower than Masayoshi Okada's father, Masayoshi Okada, who was a ministerial-level official and Financial Services Agency Director-General.

Naturally, all of these people knew each other.

Kai Takayuki has a deep conflict with his father. He doesn't do well in school and is unwilling to accept his father's arrangement to enter the civil service system. Instead, he insists on becoming a non-professional police officer, and even the most dangerous one, a detective. He repeatedly refuses his father's arrangement to send him to the National Police Agency to work as an internal affairs officer.

This infuriated his father.

Unfortunately, the same applies to the Japanese. Only those who are called out in the Donghua Gate are considered good men. If you are a professional police officer, that's fine, but if you are not a professional and become a front-line criminal investigator, isn't that embarrassing for us?

But even if he's a rebellious son, he's still his own son. Kai Mineaki had no choice but to use all his connections to try and get him into the Special Missions Division. Kai Takashi initially refused, but later, seeing that the Special Missions Division would indeed involve frontline investigations, and also knowing that in the Japanese workplace, if you refuse your boss's transfer order three times in a row, you have to resign, he had no choice but to come and report to the Special Missions Division.

In reality, this guy was just as reckless as Kashiwagi Jin when conducting searches, but because he had a vice-minister father, he was always able to get protection from the organization. The difference was that Kai Toru deeply resented this situation. He liked being a policeman, but he didn't want to be a second-generation rich kid's office policeman.

"We have coffee and black tea here." Uesugi Muneyuki greeted him, "You should know me, so I won't introduce myself."

“Nonsense, everyone in Kanto knows you. As for you, I can only say one thing: I’m not here to sit in an office. Whenever I go out, you have to include me.” Kai Toru nodded to Uesugi Muneyuki.

Less than two minutes later, the other newcomers arrived.

Hayabusa Igarashi, 25 years old this year, is the son of Masataka Igarashi, the former head of the Second Investigation Division. This guy has already been introduced before, so I won't go into details.

Igarashi's appearance is somewhat like a lion cub, with dyed brown fur and a lion's mane hairstyle. He looks like a little lion or a fluffy orange cat at the same time. His face is full of enthusiasm and excitement, his innocent eyes shine with infinite light, and his mouth smiles brightly: "Hello everyone!"

The last one was Date Chomune, the eldest son of the Uwajima Date clan, who was 26 years old.

Date Chomō has a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes with a hint of Ainu features. He is about 173 cm tall. His temperament is different from the others in the room. He has a "battle-like" air and a very natural "self-defense officer" aura. His speech, tone, and eyes are always very formal. However, it is obvious to the naked eye that this guy's life is not very smooth and he is somewhat lazy at heart.

According to sources within the Huazu organization, this guy also had poor academic performance. In order to go to university, he went to the Self-Defense Forces University, which was tuition-free. After graduating, he served in the Ground Self-Defense Force for three years as required. After that, he couldn't find a job. Finally, the Huazu organization joined forces with the Ministry of Defense's Self-Defense Forces Employment Assistance Department to get him a job at the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Alright, everyone's here!" Miss Minami gestured for the three newcomers to stand properly before her!

Kai no Kyou, Igarashi Jun, and Date Nagamune stood at attention together.

"I am Uesugi Muneyuki, a specially appointed forensic officer from the Special Missions Division of the First Investigation Section of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department!" Uesugi Muneyuki said with his hands behind his back, "I'm here to provide technical guidance!"

"From now on, you'll all be members of the Special Missions Unit! Although I'm not as old as you, in the field of criminal investigation, autopsy, and forensic examination, I can say that I'm your senior!"

"If you have any questions about criminal investigation, feel free to ask me or my assistant, Ms. Ishihara Mikoto, and we will be happy to answer them for you!"

“Now, please each of you introduce your name, rank, and previous job position. Let’s start with you!” Uesugi Muneyuki pointed to Kai Kyou first.

"Yes, Nakane Police Station, Criminal Investigation Division, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department..." Kai Toru introduced himself casually in a low voice, feeling helpless.

Because he had powerful connections, Kai Toru was usually a bit disrespectful in the office, but today everyone here had powerful connections, so he knew he couldn't go too far.

"I can't hear you at all, say it again!" "Try again! Try again!" "You think you can be a policeman if you're speaking so softly? Kora!" Minami and the others cheered together.

"Yes! Nakane Police Station!!! Criminal Investigation Division!!! Inspector General!!! Kai, Hitoshi!!!" The young master of the Ministry of Justice had given up.

"Okay, next one!"

"Yamanashi Prefectural Police Headquarters!!! Patrol!!! Igarashi Hayabusa!!!" the little lion shouted loudly.

"Good, very energetic! Next!"

"A Self-Defense Force officer, Sergeant Third Class, Date Nagamune." This eldest son of the Date family of Uwajima was very insecure when talking about his identity. After all, the Self-Defense Force had a terrible reputation among the Japanese people. After retiring from the military, he repeatedly failed to find a job, which had worn down his edges. He became obsessed with idols and was a die-hard idol fan.

"I can't hear you, I can't hear you at all!" "Is that your posture for standing at attention?" "Is this how Masamune taught you to speak?" "Show some spirit! Your grandfather Date Muneyoshi wasn't such a coward when he was young!"

Uesugi Muneyuki and the other two shouted, and finally Uesugi Muneyuki delivered the fatal blow: "I know Mai-senpai and Sakura-chan, you know! How can I help you get her autograph if you're such a coward?"

"Sergeant Third Class of the Ground Self-Defense Force!!! Date!!! Nagamune!!! My favorite is Mai from Souls, Sakura from YKC48 and Akane Moriya from Akasaka!!!" Date Nagamune was finally enraged and roared out his deepest secret.

Ishihara Mikoto and Ikeda Erena, standing nearby, were already blushing from trying not to laugh, especially Erena, who was shaking violently. "Why does this sound so much like Etajima?" Ishihara Mikoto thought to herself.

"Alright, that's the introduction. Forensic Examiner Uesugi, now you should take us to solve the case, right?" Kai Toru said nonchalantly.

"I'm very sorry, as you probably know, I just resigned from Tokyo Medical and Dental University." Uesugi Muneyuki smiled and shook his head: "Because I lost my medical license, it will take time to regain my legal autopsy qualifications and reapply for a license. So I won't be able to perform autopsies legally during this period. Therefore, please familiarize yourselves with the environment for the next few days."

"Damn it! I knew this would happen!" Kai Kyou tilted his head and cursed, "That old man really tricked me!"

"I will do my best! Please take care of me in the future!" Igarashi Hayabusa was very excited and enthusiastic: "Please let me know if you need anything, I will try my best to learn!"

"..." Date Chomune didn't speak. He had already taken out his phone to check his results in the handshake event lottery. When he saw that he had been selected, he shouted happily, "Hey, I won!"

"What did you get?" Minami was the least familiar with Date Chomune.

"I got the handshake draw! Wait, it's a tie? I wanted the ones for Imaizumi Kobayashi, the eldest and second young ladies!" Date Chomune's face immediately fell after he saw the result. He quickly checked his phone, his expression turning even worse: "Damn it, I didn't get the handshake for Sakura! Waaah, not even one out of ten?"

"So you'll still go, right?" Uesugi Muneyuki retorted.

“Of course, it was a draw!” Date Chomune immediately responded, but seeing the three leaders of the Special Missions Division looking at him with unfriendly eyes, the former Self-Defense Forces Third Class Sergeant smiled awkwardly and said, “I will go on a day off.”

"Ugh~ I really don't understand the point of queuing for hours and then shaking hands for three seconds?" Miss Minami complained.

"Exactly, exactly." Uesugi Muneyuki said with a dark face, thinking to himself, "Does Grandpa Date Muneyuki know that you're so obsessed with your idol?"

“You officers wouldn’t understand that feeling. I’m a Japanese man, so I should like Japanese women!” Date Chomune said earnestly. “Don’t treat me like any other Self-Defense Force officer!”

"Tsk tsk, becoming a Self-Defense Force officer and suddenly patriotic?" Uesugi Muneyuki glanced sideways, thinking that he was quite an oddball among Japanese people.

However, it is said that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces are indeed quite sexually repressed, so it is normal for this guy to like ordering meal replacements. After all, it is not easy for a Self-Defense Force officer to get married. Japanese women are very fond of marrying police officers, but they will definitely turn around and leave when they hear that a Self-Defense Force officer is retiring.

Fortunately, the Self-Defense Forces also did their best to provide relief during the previous Great East Japan Earthquake, which slightly improved the public's perception of them (meaning that the discrimination was no longer overt but rather subconscious).

"Anyway, you should take some time to familiarize yourselves with the environment. My forensic autopsy qualification will be issued by the end of the New Year at the latest," Uesugi Muneyuki said.

"Yes!" With that, the three new recruits of the Special Missions Department officially joined the company.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. The Metropolitan Police Department's year-end party will be held at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan at the end of the year, and you will all be attending," said Miss Minami. "Father will also be there."

"This is probably your victory declaration, isn't it?" Masayoshi Okada said with a smile.

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

That evening, in an apartment in Taitung District.

Meisa Kashiwagi, the former Metropolitan Police Department's leading lady, rushed out of the apartment elevator, her high heels clicking loudly. The anxious mixed-race wife completely abandoned the icy solemnity she displayed inside the Metropolitan Police Department. She frantically tried to open the door, and in her panic, she repeatedly tried to get the key right two or three times, which made her sweat profusely.

The sound of the elevator going up could be heard behind her. After much effort, Kashiwagi Meisa finally opened the door. She immediately took off her shoes, turned on the light, and opened the curtains and windows. Her heart was pounding and her breathing was a little labored as she looked at the doorway.

No findings, no findings!
Don't get discovered!

She had only been sitting there for less than twenty seconds when Kashiwagi Jin unlocked the apartment door with his key. Seeing his wife sitting on the sofa, Kashiwagi Jin instinctively felt a little strange: "Meisha? What's wrong?"

“It’s nothing…” The former Metropolitan Police Chief looked at her husband, feeling her heart pounding. She clutched her chest and said with difficulty, “I’m just a little tired. Welcome home, my dear.”

"Oh? You must be tired." Although Bai Muren felt something was off, he was too tired to think much of it. He hung his coat on the hanger and said casually, "I've already eaten out, so I'm going to rest now. I won't take a shower today. You should rest early too."

Of course you don't need to take a shower, because you already showered outside.

Disappointment and forbearance intertwined in Kuroki Meisa's misty eyes, as if she were looking at her husband through an invisible shovel, her pupils filled with an unspeakable sorrow: "I understand."

"Oh, right, Meisa, next Sunday is the Metropolitan Police Department's year-end party, and the department has invited me. You should come too. Remember to dress nicely, don't embarrass me." Kashiwagi Jin suddenly said, with a hint of pride: "After all, I'm from the University of Tokyo, just like Chief Watanabe! If you don't have any money, I'll give you some to buy a nice outfit."

"Understood," Meisa Kashiwagi replied softly.

Bai Muren was very satisfied with his wife's gentle and obedient answer, and went back to his room to sleep.

Although I have been given a period of calm and self-reflection, I am still the King of this Hall!

I deserve credit for Director Watanabe's re-election, didn't I? See, he invited me to the year-end party.

Kashiwagi Jin was already exhausted but also refreshed and full of pride. Recently, he had become famous and a prominent figure at the university. He fell into a deep sleep and fell asleep immediately.

The apartment fell silent again. The former Metropolitan Police Chief was curled up on the sofa, secretly wiping away tears. His complex expression was a mixture of sadness, disappointment, and deep confusion.

Year-end party?
Given all this, is there any point in me going?

But if he doesn't go, Ren's reputation will suffer...

I should go anyway; after all, he is still my husband…
