Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 326, Blood Flows Through the Streets

The moment Erina kicked and broke the corpse's nose, forcing the female murderer to drop her weapon, Saijo Yasue made a snap decision to abandon this body and flee.

She's already gained enough today! She's absorbed so much killing energy along the way!
The only regret is that I didn't manage to kill my mortal enemy, Uesugi Muneyuki!
But it doesn't matter... as long as she keeps killing, she will eventually get her revenge!
In Uesugi Muneyuki's spiritual vision, a thick, bloodthirsty black mist rapidly spewed out from the corpse's ears, nose, eyes, and mouth—Uesugi Muneyuki still didn't know who the corpse she was possessing was. It materialized into a twisted, scarlet, black-eyed skull shape and was about to flee far away.

Hmph~ Trying to escape!
Uesugi Muneyuki was prepared for this. After his second attempt to defend himself failed, he desperately kept one spirit pill, waiting for this opportunity!

This is my last Spirit Pill!
Uesugi Muneyuki lay on the ground, stretched out his right hand toward the fleeing crimson-black-eyed skull, and fiercely pulled the trigger in his mind!
Biu~
The white light shot from the fingertips pierced through the cold air and heavy smell of blood in Kabukicho at the end of December, crossing the line of fire under the witness of the sea of ​​neon lights and countless signs on the street, arriving first despite being late!
The crimson-eyed skull was also surprised that Uesugi Muneyuki had another spirit ball. The expression on the skull was horrified. Seeing that the spirit ball was about to hit her, Saijo Yasue used all her strength. A flash of crimson light appeared, and she moved forward a distance just as the spirit ball hit her, narrowly avoiding Uesugi Muneyuki's desperate attack.

How could that be dodged?!
Uesugi Muneyuki grimaced, concentrating all his attention on recalling Mai-senpai's guidance.

Damn it, this woman drained my spiritual energy to heal her injuries, and now she's disappeared. In the end, I'm the one dealing with the enemies from the other world. Although she's also recovering from a serious injury and is weak, what happened to her promise to protect me? What happened to her promise to look out for me?

When I get back, I'll definitely enforce the family rules severely and give that woman three hundred lashes!

However, at Meiji Shrine, Mai-senpai still instructed Uesugi Muneyuki on how to use spiritual power.

Use your imagination!
If you can move it, so can I!

Uesugi Muneyuki concentrated his mind, and just as the Spirit Ball was about to miss its target, it changed direction and moved along the same trajectory, hitting the scarlet black eye skull right in the middle!
bingo!

Boom! The skull formed by the escaped curse exploded like a watermelon, splattering blood everywhere, and the face of Saijo Yasue could be faintly seen within it.

【Leave the rest to me!】 Mariko Hironaka made her move. The female anchor's Ju-on leaped a considerable distance and, just like before, firmly grasped Yasue Saijo's Ju-on.

The devil's claws!

Mariko Hironaka unleashed her cursed claws, seizing the dead soul and continuously strengthening her control. Saijo Yasue, the female serial killer, was powerless to resist. After the scarlet skull with black eyes escaped from the corpse, all the cursed energy was absorbed and locked within Mariko Hironaka's body, where it began to be gradually digested.

A large portion of this energy flowed directly into Uesugi Muneyuki's body. The originally exhausted Uesugi Muneyuki felt a surge of energy, and his empty body was instantly filled with spiritual power. However, this spiritual power that flowed into his body was covered with a thick layer of blood.

No wonder the Otherworld is a dark forest-like place. In the end, this kind of killing and seizing of others' energy is simply... too profitable, so profitable that it's worth taking all the risks.

The overall situation is decided!

"I'm fine! It's just a minor scrape!" Uesugi Muneyuki immediately said, "It's nothing!"

It was at this moment that, seeing that Ikeda Erena had finally subdued the murderer, the Metropolitan Police Department officers who had been watching for a long time finally had their chance. Kai Takeru from the Special Missions Unit kicked the Zwilling kitchen knife on the ground, sending the murder weapon even further away before stepping on it. The remaining police officers originally planned to use the old trick of human pyramid to subdue the criminal, but Erena was, after all, a policewoman with a good reputation. They rushed to Erena's side but hesitated for a long time and no one dared to pounce on her.

Inspector Okada breathed a deep sigh of relief, nearly collapsing as he put down the SIG pistol, released the safety, calmly took out handcuffs from behind his back and cuffed the female serial killer, then slapped Erena hard on the shoulder: "Well done, Ikeda!"

"It's good that you're alright, Muneyuki." Ikeda Erena completely ignored Okada; her attention was entirely on Uesugi Muneyuki. The tall beauty was intimately familiar with every inch of Uesugi Muneyuki's body. Seeing the five-centimeter-long cut on his waist with a little blood seeping out, she was relieved. As a black belt, Erena knew that this level of bleeding was just a minor skin break, and that disinfecting and bandaging the wound would suffice.

Thus, this extraordinary live performance, which even a movie couldn't capture, finally came to an end.

"Hostage safety guaranteed! Call an ambulance immediately!" Inspector Itami of the Fifth Division roared.

"The major criminal caught in the act has been arrested on the spot. I repeat, the major criminal caught in the act has been arrested on the spot!" Inspector Okada of the Special Missions Division announced loudly.

"Uesugi Muneyuki, minor injuries! Nothing serious. I repeat, Uesugi Muneyuki, minor injuries, nothing serious!"

Under the colorful neon lights illuminating the dark sky of Kabukicho, the Metropolitan Police Department officers loudly announced the resolution of the scene in this major serial street murder case!
Upon hearing the news, the other police officers merely breathed a sigh of relief, while the hundreds or thousands of onlookers remained silent for a moment before suddenly erupting into deafening cheers.

"Great! Awesome! Awesome!"

"That's incredible, Uesugi-san! No wonder you're a descendant of Lord Kenshin!"

"Well done, what spirit! You didn't disgrace Duke Qianxin!"

"This is practically a replica of Kawanakajima Ikkito, it's so cool!"

"They actually... went to exchange hostages themselves! Is this what the nobility are like?" "Lord Uesugi, Itagaki!"

All the Japanese people around witnessed this thrilling scene. They readily agreed to the hostage exchange, desperately pushed innocent passersby away, and in the instant that the female serial killer swung her knife at Uesugi, everyone's heartstrings were tightened by this scene, as if Mount Fuji held back its eruption.

The female killer slashed three times, just like the legendary Battle of Kawanakajima where Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin fought one-on-one. The first slash severed Shingen's armor, the second cleaved through his arm armor, and the third cut through his arm. Just as Uesugi Kenshin was about to take Shingen's head, General Hara Toratane (Erena) arrived and forced Kenshin back with his spear formation.

They had never seen how Kawanakajima fought hundreds of years ago, and later generations even argued that the legendary battle between Shingen and Kenshin was a fabrication by the Japanese (just like the story of the three heroes fighting Lü Bu while the wine was still warm). But today, they witnessed Uesugi Sōsetsu's fictionalized account!
Not only the Japanese, but also some people with yellow skin gaped in astonishment.

"Wow~, do you have to be so serious? You look so cool, handsome! Are you taking the blame?" someone said in Chinese.

"Good heavens, is this for real? This guy is so handsome it's unbelievable!" a girl with yellow skin said in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Surprise motherf**ker" A white couple took photos with their mobile phones.

“DAMN, bro, that shit wild! This nigga is fine as hell, my God!” Other dark-skinned men with a slight Japanese accent also chimed in.

NHK and the four major private broadcasters, who were also present at the scene, recorded the entire event. While the four major private broadcasters were limited to the Kanto region, NHK broadcast the event to 100 million people across Japan.

"It's over! It's all over! No shots were fired, no hostages were injured! The great Uesugi, the amazing Uesugi, he bravely stepped forward and, with his courage and faith, incredibly rescued the hostages from a major criminal caught in the act! Let's give him a round of applause!" The NHK presenter shouted excitedly, almost roaring, even going against NHK's usually neutral but slightly left-leaning stance: "And this amazing, incredible, beautiful judo policewoman! If you all remember, this is the third time we've witnessed her unparalleled strength!"

"In addition, we also want to thank the police officer who shot and blew out the tire. If it weren't for him, we would never know how many more people would have been hurt!"

The four major civilian broadcasters also spoke passionately and enthusiastically to the camera.

"Good!!!" At the same time, inside the police station, Superintendent General Eiji Watanabe, seeing the criminal caught in the act apprehended and Uesugi Muneyuki confirmed that he was unharmed, excitedly raised his fists, looked around, and excitedly embraced Chief Detective Uchimura. Meanwhile, Minami Watanabe, who had been awakened by her father, glanced at her fiancé to make sure he was alright, then rolled her eyes and fainted again.

"Now, we can finally give an explanation to the people!" Watanabe Eiji and Uchimura Kanji embraced passionately, and the two comrades, who were a combined 100 years old, almost kissed each other.

My job as director has been saved!
My position as Minister of Criminal Investigation is safe!
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Chief was so excited that his face turned red.

This case is absolutely heinous! According to intelligence from the front lines, this female serial killer murdered at least five people inside the host club, seriously injured three others on the way, two of whom are in critical condition and waiting for ambulances to arrive for emergency treatment, and a dozen others sustained minor injuries, mostly police officers.

Other issues could be explained by insufficient police force or unwillingness to handle them seriously, but today several hundred police officers have come, giving us a 100-to-1 advantage. If the murderer still manages to escape, our Japanese police will become a laughing stock in the international community!

Ultimately, who could have imagined something like this would happen? In the past, patrols would carry riot shields and electrified forks, but today's surprise attack was a large-scale live show. Who would actually deploy a riot shield formation like a tortoise shell on the street?

And it actually caused me trouble.

Choosing Uesugi as his son was the right decision! Watanabe Eiji glanced at the unconscious Watanabe Minami and began to think about how to use this incident to strengthen his authority and gain more benefits.

The three people who performed the best today are all from the Special Missions Department, which he built single-handedly.

To successfully resolve such a significant case without firing a shot or injuring anyone is both wrong and right, and if it was right, it would be even more perfect.

"Wait, Director, look!" Just as Watanabe Eiji was thinking, a new situation appeared on the television.

Just as the police were about to arrest the female serial killer on the ground and detain her to face legal punishment, the slightly overweight woman slid down like a limp bowl of wide noodles.

Upon seeing this, experienced veteran police officers immediately realized something was wrong. They touched it and their expressions changed drastically.

"She...she's dead!"

This unexpected turn of events caused further turmoil at the scene.

The female serial killer is dead?
Did she just die like that?

At this moment, after a moment's thought, everyone turned their attention to Erena, the beautiful judo policewoman who had just been incredibly violent, kneeling beside Uesugi Muneyuki and bandaging him with hemostatic spray and bandages.

It can only be her!
Erina Ikeda is a murderer!
