Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 322, How can a routine patrol encounter a murder case?

As night fell, a massive police force gathered from all directions. They suddenly appeared on one side of Kabukicho. Eiji Watanabe, dressed in the uniform of the Superintendent General of Police with four stars on his shoulders, stood among a large group of uniformed and suited police officers. His hair under his navy blue top hat and the medals on his chest gleamed coldly in the police lights.

In the Japanese police rank system, the highest rank in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is the Superintendent General, who has four gold stars on his shoulders. The highest-ranking police officer is the Commissioner General of the National Police Agency, who has five stars on his shoulders. However, the Commissioner General is generally regarded as a "bureaucrat" rather than a "police officer." Therefore, except for wearing a five-star police uniform for a photo shoot when he takes office, he wears a suit most of the time.

The current Commissioner of the National Police Agency, Jun Tamaru, is merely a puppet in his official residence, only responsible for signing documents. All the power in the National Police Agency is in the hands of Cabinet Secretary Onoda, who never wears a police uniform, only a suit.

The Superintendent General's surprise attack caught Kabukicho off guard. Many shops were wondering what the Metropolitan Police Department was up to this time. "We weren't notified!"
Similarly, a large number of foreign tourists on the street looked on curiously, finding the scene quite interesting. Meanwhile, the middle-aged men in suits and the male escorts and bar hostesses on the streets were terrified and desperately tried to avoid them. Some even closed their doors immediately. At the entrance of the pachinko parlor, tattooed men and bald old men who were clearly members of violent gangs quickly bowed to each other, afraid of being noticed by the police.

Suddenly, everyone was on edge, seeing threats everywhere.

Uesugi Muneyuki and his Special Missions Unit were also mixed in with the police force. After resting for half a day, he was in much better spirits. Due to Watanabe Minami's special status and the fact that the Special Missions Unit was the Metropolitan Police Department's ace unit, they were located quite close to Watanabe Eiji. Taking this opportunity, he was able to get a full glimpse of the Superintendent General's demeanor.

After his successful reappointment, Eiji Watanabe was in high spirits. At less than 52 years old, the Superintendent General of Police was still considered a young and promising officer in Japan. Behind him, a large contingent of detectives in suits from the Criminal Investigation Department followed closely behind. The sound of their leather shoes hitting the ground was like thunder, unstoppable as a rushing river. Each of them had a fierce look on their face and was ready to be deployed at any time to bring evil to justice.

Beside Eiji Watanabe, public security police formed a protective formation. These men were vigilant, clearly carrying firearms, and cautiously watched their surroundings, constantly on guard against any thugs or yakuza members trying to persuade the Director-General to "open his mind" or "be more open-minded." After all, unlike other places, Kabukicho has always been a key security area frequented by a large number of yakuza and gangsters. It's impossible for someone to fire a shot and then be shot again before the speaker even understands what happened, like when a member of parliament gives a speech in a long-peaceful area.

Ahead and to the sides, the police from the Organization Department advanced along the street like precise gears, inspecting love hotels, pachinko parlors, brothels, and host clubs one by one. Amidst the angry shouts of the Organization Department officers, those arrogant gangsters became like grandsons, bowing and scraping to the big shots in the department, afraid that these big shots would find fault with them.

There's nothing we can do; that's what happens when you're Yakuza. Japanese police have very strict enforcement rules, but Yakuza are the only ones without human rights.

In a sea of ​​neon lights, metal detectors scan the ball bearing tracks of pachinko parlors, patrol officers check the registers of love hotels, and traffic police issue tickets to illegally parked cars one by one.

Further out, a vast number of patrol officers drawn from police stations across the country spread out in a radial pattern, like road rollers, crushing everything in their path.

At that moment, the crystal glass in the host club stopped swaying, the hostess's high heels froze on the steps, and the clamor of the entire block was compressed into the metronome of the police stomping.

The entire street, the whole of Kabukicho, was packed with police!
NHK television rushed to the scene to begin filming and live reporting.

Surrounded by a retinue of followers, arrogant and overbearing, Superintendent General Eiji Watanabe remained expressionless throughout his reappointment as police chief. He moved forward slowly, his gaze fixed on the road ahead.

This scene reminded Uesugi Muneyuki of his first surgical career.

“I’m the chief inspector of Watanabe~” Uesugi Muneyuki held Minami’s soft, jade-like hand and couldn’t help but sigh, “If you want to be an official, you should be the commander of the Imperial Guard; if you want to marry, you should marry Yin Lihua.”

Hey, the authority of the Commander of the Imperial Guard is almost exactly the same as that of the Superintendent General of Police. If there is another one, it would be the Commander of the Nine Gates.

No wonder Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was deeply impressed when he saw the Imperial Guards procession upon arriving in Chang'an. It was truly magnificent and imposing.

His father-in-law probably wanted to show off his power through this behavior. In principle, the Superintendent General of Police does conduct a routine patrol of Kabukicho once a year, but he will give advance notice of whether or not to patrol. At this time, many shops will "voluntarily close" for a day. Both sides know the truth, but they are afraid that the patrol will find something.

But Watanabe Eiji was different. His father-in-law wanted to use a surprise attack to let the whole Kabukicho know that whatever he wanted to do, he would do it perfectly. Once they knew who he was, they would have to be respectful, whether they were dragons or tigers. Since he had come in person, the whole street had to give him face!

Now you know who's in charge, right?

Remembering what Mai-senpai had said, and looking at Minami-sama beside her, Uesugi Muneyuki couldn't help but suppress a laugh.

Who says the Japanese underworld is no good? Our Japanese underworld is absolutely awesome!

The head of Japan's largest and most powerful yakuza group, X-generation leader—Eiji Watanabe, the chairman of the Metropolitan Police Agency, and his fiancée, Minami Watanabe, a yakuza heiress.

This society is so dark.

Ok?
Just then, Uesugi Muneyuki's curse, Hironaka Mariko, suddenly appeared and spoke through a telepathic connection: "Uesugi! I sensed it! Saijo Yasue is nearby, she's appeared!!!"

"What?! Are you sure?" Uesugi Muneyuki's pupils constricted sharply, and he quickly pressed for an answer. "I'm sure, she's nearby! I can feel it!" Hironaka Mariko pointed to an "anon Tokyo" host club, located about half a street away at a street corner: "She's right there! And her presence is getting stronger!"

"[Being stronger means...she's killing people!]" Uesugi Muneyuki frowned, thinking to himself, "Why is that bastard Saijo Yasueko so persistent?"
This time, she must be punished by heaven!

Minami and Uesugi Muneyuki were holding hands, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Kabukicho and smelling the air mixed with the aroma of yakitori, perfume lingering and cigarette smoke, when suddenly Uesugi Muneyuki's hand tightened, squeezing her so hard it hurt: "Muneyuki, what's wrong?"

"I found a body. I can smell the body." Uesugi Muneyuki said blankly.

"Huh?! Now, are you sure? Are you serious?" Minami was stunned by Uesugi Muneyuki's words. She opened her mouth wide and looked at the prosperous scene of Kabukicho, where the river was calm and the world was at peace.

"Minami, do you believe me?" Uesugi Muneyuki asked, looking down.

"...If it were anyone else, I would stomp on their face, but if it's you, Zongxue..." Miss Minami pursed her lips, a wavering look on her face: "Where is it? You take people there first, I'll go talk to Father."

"Alright!" After gaining Minami's support, Uesugi Muneyuki suddenly shouted at the people around him, "Everyone! Come here!"

"???" The numerous detectives from the headquarters and police officers from various departments standing nearby thought to themselves, "Forensic Officer Uesugi, what are you up to now?"

"A murder has occurred nearby!" Uesugi Muneyuki gestured for everyone to follow him: "It's right here, quick!"

After saying that, Uesugi Muneyuki was the first to run out.

Within the Special Missions Unit, Kai Okada and Reina followed Uesugi Muneyuki's order without hesitation, while the four Inspectors from the Criminal Investigation Department's First Investigation Division—Kosaka, Shiratori, Shimano, and Itami—also followed suit almost without hesitation: "Follow Uesugi! Follow Uesugi!"

Those who remained were the public security police and the police from the task force. After a moment's hesitation, they said, "Let's go and see what's going on."

So Uesugi Muneyuki's shout brought with it hundreds of police officers.

"Oh? Is this some kind of special exercise?" More passersby and tourists were curiously watching, and they found it quite interesting. NHK also found it interesting and moved a camera position to film it.

The neon lights on the Anon Tokyo sign were flashing, and the people inside seemed oblivious to what was happening outside. Even the public relations staff soliciting customers at the entrance hurriedly hid inside the club after the Metropolitan Police Department appeared.

Uesugi Muneyuki pushed the club door, but found it wouldn't open, so he took a few steps back to gather his strength.

Spirit Pill!

So, in everyone's eyes, Uesugi Muneyuki smashed open the club door with a punch.

However, after having all her spirit power absorbed by Mai-senpai, Uesugi Muneyuki barely managed to use the Spirit Pill, only to find her vision going black and seeing stars. She staggered a few steps and almost fell down the steps.

But by this time, no one was paying attention to Uesugi Muneyuki's situation anymore.

An extremely strong smell of rust wafted out from the open club doors, and experienced police officers would naturally know what it was—the smell of blood!

Blood splattered on the scarlet carpet, and the first thing you see is a male escort lying in a pool of blood, his head separated from his body, already dead!

But that wasn't all. Just as the police were in shock, another male escort's head, with dyed yellow hair, splattered hot blood down the second-floor steps and landed on the first floor, his eyes wide open, filled with extreme fear.

? ? ? ! ! !
This scene shocked the police officers at the scene.

Holy crap?! Really?!
Isn't this a drill? Is this really not a drill?
"Help!!!" The cries for help from upstairs alerted everyone.

it is true!
