Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 324, Ultimate Urgency! Uesugi's Counterattack!
"A murder in the street, is it true?"

"That's blood! Lots of blood!"

"A police officer is injured? Oh my god, I think someone died."

"An ambulance! Call an ambulance!"

The chase through the streets of Kabukicho amazed passersby and tourists alike. Meanwhile, NHK television completely disregarded the Superintendent General's patrol, and a reporter on the scene, while excitedly exclaiming to the camera with a worried expression, cried out: "NHK! NHK! This is Shinjuku Kabukicho! Breaking news! Breaking news!"

"Just as we were broadcasting, a murder occurred in Kabukicho! The murderer was discovered at the scene during the Superintendent General's patrol. It is reported that several male hosts were murdered at the famous Anon Tokyo host club in Kabukicho, and their deaths were extremely gruesome! The murderer is currently on the run, and the Metropolitan Police Department has hundreds of police officers in pursuit!"

"The perpetrator has not yet been apprehended. He has stabbed and injured several people along the way, and several police officers have also been wounded. We will continue to follow up on this story!"

At the same time, other civilian broadcasting stations also urgently broadcast this news, instantly causing a national sensation.

The chase on the long street continued!
By this time, more than a dozen police officers had been injured to varying degrees, and there were still eighty or ninety officers in pursuit. In addition, other public security police and police from the anti-gang unit were also on their way. The most aggressive police officers from the anti-gang unit even shouted at the rioters on the street: "Help! Stop her! There will be a big reward!"

"Awooooo~" On the streets of Kabukicho, aside from other things, several groups of yakuza members from the Sumiyoshi-kai, upon hearing the squad's call to arms, pulled out iron bars and baseball bats, eager to try their luck.

The continuous bleeding caused the surrounding crowd to disperse further, giving Yasue Saijo space to escape. Just as the murderer was running faster and faster with increasing strength, the Special Mission Unit finally arrived!
A yellow blur, moving with lightning speed, caught up with the murderer in the two-kilometer race.

Upon closer inspection, everyone recognized him as Hayabusa Igarashi, a member of the Special Missions Unit, the son of Masataka Igarashi, the former Yamanashi Prefectural Police and the former Chief of the Second Investigation Division!

Wow, so fast! Seeing this, Inspector Shimano and Inspector Itami, among others, couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

I'd heard that this kid was really good during the physical test at the police academy, and today I've seen it for myself!
Go, Metropolitan Police Department's yellow flash!
Hayabusa Igarashi sped down the street at an incredible speed. Yasue Saijo clearly hadn't expected him to arrive so quickly. She had already fallen several times due to a flat tire on her motorcycle, which was taking its toll on her body. By the time Hayabusa reached her side, it was too late to react!

Igarashi calculated the distance perfectly, jumped on one foot and soared into the air, rolled over with his hands around his knees in mid-air and then stretched out, kicking the murderer in the back!
Holy crap! Uesugi Muneyuki and Ikeda Erena, who were following behind, were both stunned.

Knight's Kick? Or Leo's Flying Kick?

Taken a severe hit, Saijo Yasue was thrown off balance and rolled several times on the ground, but she didn't drop the Zwilling kitchen knife in her hand. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Igarashi Hayato also got up from the ground and blocked her escape route. This time, Igarashi was not unarmed. He pulled out a baton from behind and swung it out from the inside. Judging from his standing posture and stance, Saijo Yasue knew that this guy was definitely not a good person.

"Good! Well done, Igarashi!" The Metropolitan Police Department officers behind him cheered loudly and quickened their pace. They had chased him for two kilometers, and many of them were panting heavily. Seeing that someone could finally deal with this murderer, they felt a surge of energy.

With Igarashi in front and dozens of pursuers behind, Saijo Yasue grinned maliciously, suddenly turned around, jumped over the vending machine, and leaped into an izakaya by the roadside!

"Eeya! Yadayo! Yamete!"

With a woman's scream, the faces of the Metropolitan Police Department officers, who had just been wearing victorious smiles, suddenly changed.

The killer was seen holding a long kitchen knife, grabbing a woman in her thirties from behind, pressing the blade against her neck, and slowly walking out of the izakaya.

"Get out of the way." A stiff, distorted, and indifferent voice rang out, even carrying a hint of amusement: "Or kill her."

"........."

The officers at the Metropolitan Police Department looked at each other, and could only slowly retreat as the serial killer demanded.

“Continue, back off,” Saijo Yasue continued. As she moved, the kitchen knife slid, cutting the skin on the neck of the female izakaya customer, from which streaks of bright red blood flowed.

By this time, the female tourist who had come to Kabukicho was terrified, crying and screaming in pain: "Help! Help! It hurts, it hurts so much, waaaaaah!"

"Hands up, back off, or I'll kill her!" the killer continued.

There were nearly a hundred police officers at the scene, but they were all at a loss in the face of this situation.

"...Do as she says." At this moment, Inspector Okada and Uesugi Muneyuki finally arrived. Inspector Okada looked at the hundreds of onlookers, passersby, and tourists around him, as well as the NHK television station that had already set up cameras, and could only give the order helplessly.

So the police could only slowly raise their hands, signaling us not to move and not to harm the hostages.

"Hehe~ Hehehehehehehe~" Saijo Yasue laughed maniacally: "This is the Japanese police, haha~ This is the Japanese police! A bunch of useless cowards, afraid to do anything. Now, you all, keep backing up! Back up!"

After she finished speaking, she plunged the blade of her kitchen knife even deeper, causing more blood to flow.

The scene was chaotic. Facing the camera, the NHK reporter was pale and his voice was trembling: "National Broadcasting Corporation, National Broadcasting Corporation! This is Kabukicho, and now we've encountered a new situation!"

"After killing at least five people, seriously injuring three, and slightly injuring thirteen others, the indiscriminate killer was finally surrounded by the Metropolitan Police Department, but she is currently holding one hostage!"

"Under pressure from the hostage situation, the Metropolitan Police Department is currently powerless to deal with the perpetrator in the act, and negotiations may be necessary!"

"This incident has already caused a huge impact. Are we Japanese police really powerless to do anything about it?"

Stay tuned for our ongoing real-time updates!

In the crowd, Uesugi Muneyuki stared intently at Saijo Yasue, his eyes bloodshot with rage, wishing he could shove that bastard into the Chaos Hell Cannon and fire him.

It's getting annoying. She's just a minor villain, but she's impossible to kill and keeps coming back to harass and cause trouble. And after careful consideration, Uesugi Muneyuki realized that his Spirit Gun wouldn't kill her in one shot, and in fact, if it were fired, the hostage's life would be in danger. Why does this one villain keep making reappearances?

Moreover, Japanese police are indeed extremely cautious about using firearms and will not fire unless absolutely necessary. None of these incompetent teammates are willing to take responsibility. When they fired at Date, a Special Mission Unit officer, they only dared to shoot at the tires. The funniest thing is that he was still in the habit left over from his service in the Ground Self-Defense Force and did not think much about it or realize that he was now a police officer.

Uesugi Muneyuki gritted his teeth, pondering what to do.

Inspector Okada, as the head of the Special Missions Unit, immediately took command. He immediately said into the walkie-talkie, "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive! The criminal in the act has a hostage in his hands. I repeat, the criminal in the act has a hostage in his hands! Request a sniper immediately!"

At the same time, the entire Kanto region of Japan was deeply shocked by the bloodshed that occurred in Kabukicho, including Superintendent General Eiji Watanabe, his daughter Minami Watanabe, and Chief of Criminal Investigation Kanji Uchimura, who were sitting in the koban (a type of Japanese police station).

"Damn it!" After seeing Igarashi's kick during the NHK live broadcast, Uchimura and the others thought they had won, but they didn't expect the culprit to take hostages!

"Immediately order the Ministry of Public Security to dispatch snipers!" Watanabe Eiji ordered the Ministry of Public Security with a solemn expression.

He knew that millions of people in the Kanto region were watching the live broadcast of NHK's live stream!
"Director, it won't be that fast. Even if we arrive by helicopter, it will take at least 15 minutes to deploy the snipers." Minister Uchimura swallowed hard.

"...Where is the negotiation expert?" Watanabe Eiji stared intently at the screen.

“Section Chief Sugishita Ukyo has already gone,” Watanabe Minami added. “Director, is it necessary to…”

"Pass on my order: if there is an opportunity, firing is permitted!" Watanabe Eiji ignored Minami's words and said decisively, "I will take full responsibility!"

"!!!" Inside the exchange, everyone was shocked by Watanabe Eiji's attitude.

Are you permitted to fire?
"It's because they hesitated to fire that the scene is like this!" Watanabe Eiji seemed to have noticed the crowd's attitude and said sternly, "Pass on my order: evacuate the crowd! If necessary and there is a high probability of killing, you are authorized to open fire directly!"

"We cannot allow this scoundrel to harm any more of our citizens!"

"Yes!!!" Everyone tensed up, realizing that the director was really serious.

"Look, Director, Section Chief Sugishita has gone over!"

On the television screen, Sugishita Ukyo, the head of the First Investigation Division, slowly stepped out of the crowd and demanded a negotiation from the murderer: "Please don't hurt her, we will do our best to meet your demands."

"Demands? Hehehe, demands?" Saijo Yasue grinned maliciously. She originally wanted to say that this was just a corpse filled with resentment and resonance with her own after a host who had been swindled out of his savings by a male host, incurred a debt of 60 million yen, was forced to sell himself and contracted a sexually transmitted disease. It would be best if he could escape, but if he couldn't, she would have to sacrifice the fruits of today's killing.

But when she saw Uesugi Muneyuki, she suddenly had an idea: "Okay, I demand a different hostage!"

"I want him as my hostage!" Saijo Yasue pointed at Uesugi Muneyuki: "He comes here, and I'll release this woman!"

"!!!!!!!!!!" The entire venue fell silent, and everyone looked at Uesugi Muneyuki.

Uesugi Muneyuki fell silent. He saw the venomous hatred and frenzied killing intent in Saijo Yasue's eyes.

It seems this woman is planning to trade one for one with him.

Oh, that's fine!

Amidst the intense anticipation of everyone, Uesugi Muneyuki readily agreed, "Yes!"

"Uesugi?!" "Uesugi-san?" "Uesugi Forensic Officer, you?!" "Uesugi-kun, no!"

Everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department was stunned; they hadn't expected Uesugi Muneyuki to agree so decisively.

“Uesugi-kun, you…” Sugishita Ukyo also hesitated, “Should we talk again?”

"We can't talk anymore. Didn't you notice that the hostage has already lost a couple hundred milliliters of blood?" Uesugi Muneyuki indicated that there was no need to hesitate, "I'll handle this!"
And so, with her hands raised, Uesugi Muneyuki slowly approached the murderer and the hostages.

“Very good!” Yasue Saijo smiled, and at the same time, NHK television was broadcasting the entire event live.

"National Broadcasting Corporation, National Broadcasting Corporation! The Metropolitan Police Department has accepted the conditions of the perpetrator caught in the act; Uesugi Muneyuki will be exchanged for the perpetrator as a hostage..."

And so, Uesugi Muneyuki slowly approached Saijo Yasue. Just as she was about to enter her attack range, Saijo Yasue indeed threw the hostage aside. Without even trying to grab him, she swung her kitchen knife and slashed directly at Uesugi Muneyuki's neck!

Die, you insects!
And it was at that very moment that Uesugi Muneyuki moved!

With the flow of spiritual energy, Saijo Yasue's kitchen knife was repelled by the power of the spirit ball the moment it touched Uesugi Muneyuki!

Precision prevention!

Then, a close-range spirit bullet, along with Uesugi Muneyuki's fist, struck Saijo Yasue directly in the chin, causing her to stagger.

Take advantage of now!
Now, it's Uesugi's turn to strike back!
