Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 331, The Ugly Daughter-in-Law Finally Has to Meet Her In-Laws

"???"

What's happening here?
Fifty-two-year-old Uesugi Hironori was completely dumbfounded by the scene before him.

Similarly, Uesugi Hironori also saw Uesugi Muneyuki personally go up to exchange hostages on NHK live broadcast. Unlike Uesugi Kuninori, who had reservations about this, Uesugi Hironori was so angry on the spot that he cursed and said that the Metropolitan Police Department was also a place full of useless people!
With so many professional police officers and so many elite officers from the headquarters, why was it that Uesugi Muneyuki, a non-professional police officer, was chosen to deal with a vicious and ruthless killer?

Has the glory of your Metropolitan Police Department been stuffed into a dog's belly?
The reason why the Japanese people admire and worship Uesugi Muneyuki so much this time is because of the advantage of being out of position.

For example, there is an unwritten rule in the famous Japanese Drama Academy Awards that the standards are different for different actors. If an actress like Masami Nagasawa, who debuted as a Toho princess at a young age and has played roles from ten to twenty years old, is simply playing a conventional, quirky character, the judges will definitely not vote for her.

However, if we change the roles, and suppose someone like Sakura Miyawaki, who comes from an idol background and has not undergone formal actor training and experience, suddenly makes a deep impression by portraying the characteristics of a character in a certain drama, then the judges who are impressed will often give her high praise, and she is very likely to win the newcomer award and the best actress award.

This is the advantage of being in a different market segment.

Uesugi Muneyuki himself is neither a professional police officer nor a professional bodyguard; he is just a forensic doctor. Normally, he shouldn't be involved in this kind of thing at all.

But he went anyway, and he actually managed to rescue the hostages.

This is the added value brought by the huge advantage of being out of the loop, and it is also the reason why all of Japan has given Uesugi Muneyuki such high praise this time - this was not his job to begin with, and he was able to do it to this extent, so what else can you say?

For Uesugi Hironori, who did not experience the war and poverty era, he was born in the 1980s and lived a life of luxury since childhood, with no worries about food or drink. His subordinates naturally took care of his affairs. Therefore, in his mind, people like him, who are "sons of rich families," should never go to dangerous places under any circumstances. The last attack on the affiliated hospital was something he had no choice but to accept, but this incident was really too much!
Uesugi Hironori called Watanabe Eiji and asked his in-laws, with a hint of reproach, what had happened. Although Watanabe Eiji was of much higher status than Uesugi Hironori, he had to give face to his son. As the Superintendent General of Police, he could only take the initiative to admit his mistake and arranged for Uesugi Hironori to come and visit him.

Uesugi Hironori never expected that his son's hospital room would be like this!

And these women present... are respectively Xuesongmaru's fiancée, his bodyguard, his housekeeper, his rumored girlfriend (senior and junior), and his forensic assistant... something just doesn't seem right!
It seems I've arrived at the wrong time?
Uesugi Hironori quickly turned his gaze to his son.

No, you've come at just the right time!
Uesugi Muneyuki immediately gave his father a look that was earnest and helpless.

Help!!!

Hmm? Well~ Ah!
Uesugi Hironori wasn't particularly strong in other areas, but he excelled at interpersonal skills. He instantly understood his son's distress signal and chuckled to himself, thinking that his two sons' luck with women was completely reversed. However, as a father, especially one who now relied heavily on his younger son's connections for business, Uesugi Hironori immediately decided to accept the challenge!
The father instantly abandoned his feigned nonchalant and natural demeanor, straightened his back, and with a flick of his overcoat over his black winter kimono, the dignified air of the head of the family naturally emanated from him. He put his hands behind his back and squinted at the women in the room.

This immediately put the situation at ease.

"Father!" Uesugi Muneyuki said promptly, "You've arrived?"

"Yes, your mother is here too, Yukimatsu." Uesugi Tomoko, dressed in a kimono, barely made it to the doorway after taking small, quick steps. She was also surprised by the scene inside the room. However, Uesugi Hironori decided to use Ikeda Erena as a starting point. He brought his wife to Ikeda Erena, and the couple bowed to her. "Yukimatsu Maru, thank you for taking care of him. We are very grateful!"

"Ah! No, that's not true. I'm the one who was taken care of by him... Anyway... I'm very honored!" Faced with the situation where Uesugi Muneyuki's parents bowed to her, the tall beauty was quite flustered. She was at a loss for what to do in her panic.

"Bow down!" Miss Minami whispered in her ear.

So Erena quickly bowed as well.

"Hehe, Godfather, Godmother, is it alright for me to arrange for Erena to be with Muneyuki?" Minami said with a smile, "She's the person I trust the most, she's always very useful. We're already best friends who can talk about anything!"

Tsk! Both Shirakawa Mai and Ishihara Mikoto were displeased with Watanabe Minami's audacity.

There was no way around it; after all, Minami was the only one with an official and legal status, and was recognized by the Uesugi family as their legitimate fiancée!
"Well done, Minami-chan!" Uesugi Tomoko said with a smile, "You've been a great help."

"Oh, Ms. Ikeda, you've really worked very hard. Thank you for always protecting Koinu. My husband and I will warmly protect you both in the future. Please cherish each other and continue on this path together." Uesugi Hironori had learned the deeper meaning behind Watanabe Minami's words.

This is a side room, which she chose herself: "Tomoko?"

"Hi~" Uesugi Muneyuki's mother smiled and took off a "tiri" sash with the Uesugi bamboo sparrow crest from her kimono and gave it to Ikeda Erena: "Miss Ikeda, we are a middle-class family and don't have anything valuable. Please accept this as a token of our gratitude for saving Yukimatsu Maru once again."

"Huh???" Erena stared blankly, completely confused, and could only instinctively look at Minami.

Minami and Uesugi Muneyuki both smiled and gestured for her to accept it, so Erina could only reach out and take it in a daze.

But when she accepted this inexplicable gift and looked up to see the warm and approving gazes of Uesugi's parents, Erena suddenly understood something. She knelt down excitedly and said, "I am so grateful!"

Grass!
Both Uesugi Muneyuki and Watanabe Minami thought to themselves that while Reina was usually quite slow-witted in other matters, she was exceptionally quick-witted in things like this. Seeing this, apart from Minami and Uesugi, the other women present felt a mix of emotions.

After all, Erina saved Uesugi Muneyuki's life, so despite their displeasure, Mai and Mikoto had nothing to say.

As for Asuka, the girl almost peed her pants the moment Uesugi Hironori and his wife appeared. She hid behind Mai-senpai, her body pressed against Mai's back, only her small head peeking out, looking at the tall, fat woman with a face full of fear and envy.

"Ms. Ikeda, your family is all living in another city, right?" Tomoko Uesugi smiled and said, "It must be very tough for you to come to Tokyo alone and work so hard. Why don't you come and spend the New Year with us at our Uesugi Mansion this year?"

"Oh, really?" Reina Ikeda couldn't help but feel excited. She knew that she had been accepted by the Uesugi family!

“Of course, when has the main family ever liked to joke about this?” Uesugi Hironori nodded.

"Hehe, even if my godfather and godmother didn't say anything, I would still do it!" Watanabe Minami brazenly wrapped her arms around Erena's waist and said with a smile, "Now, I can't be without Erena for even a moment!"

"Hmm~" Erina blushed and lowered her head, thinking to herself that it really was the three of them together... but to admit it in front of Muneyuki's parents was too embarrassing! Minami, you're so bold! I'm so ashamed!

Upon witnessing this scene, both Hironori Uesugi and Tomoko Uesugi were speechless.

"My son is so capable, it's embarrassing for me as his father," Uesugi Hironori thought to himself.

"Yukimatsu's body is so good. I wish Sentokumaru could be like Yukimatsumaru in this aspect. Honestly, what's wrong with these two kids? They're both my own flesh and blood, how come they're so different?" Uesugi Tomoko thought to herself.

Erina has passed this test.

"These are my father and mother, Mai-senpai and Mikoto-nee," Uesugi Muneyuki continued.

Unlike the others, both Shirakawa Mai and Ishihara Mikoto seemed a little nervous. The former didn't care about anything except Uesugi Muneyuki, while the latter was afraid that her embarrassing past with Uesugi Muneyuki would be exposed and that his parents would call the police.

"Hello, I am Mai Shirakawa..." Senior Mai tidied her hair and appearance, and bowed very seriously.

"Oh! Oh! It is a great honor for our family that my son can know and work with such an outstanding person as Ms. Shirakawa." Uesugi Yuken immediately changed his attitude. He could not afford to offend the other party's strength, but he was, after all, Uesugi Muneyuki's father: "We sincerely appreciate your care for my son, and we hope you will continue to guide us in the future."

"I am truly honored and humbled." Senior Mai said with a smile, "I have heard from Zongxue-kun that your aunt's skills in flower arranging, bonsai, matcha making, and confectionery are superb. If it is convenient for you, I wonder if I would have the honor of learning from your aunt in the future?"

Oh? !

Uesugi Tomoko became interested; this was her area of ​​expertise!
Moreover, if one could guide the head of the Kanto Shrine Alliance, or even take her to some important events, that would be a very prestigious thing in high society!

"If Miss Shirakawa is interested, I welcome her anytime!"

It was obvious that the mother had been won over by Mai-senpai.

"Regarding the first performance of the staged version of the newly reformed Kagura Festival in recent years, I would like to invite hereditary Kagura masters from Ise Grand Shrine and Meiji Grand Shrine to perform with contemporary dancers such as the Sankaijuku Dance Company. We will deconstruct and reconstruct classical Kagura pieces such as 'Urayasu no Mai' and 'Sword Dance' and innovate them with multimedia projection. I wonder if the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan can host this event?"

Mai-senpai smiled gracefully at Uesugi Hironori.

Upon hearing these words, the father's eyes lit up.

"Sure! Of course, no problem! Please, the Kanto Shrine Alliance, make sure to have our establishment host the event. Oh my, if we could receive the invitation from Headmaster Shirakawa, our establishment would be incredibly honored! No, please, please let us handle it. I will personally take charge and ensure that Headmaster receives a satisfactory performance!"

Come to life!
Uesugi Hironori's attitude changed instantly after Mai-senpai said just a few words, and he was extremely excited.

Wow, that's impressive! How come they can take on such large-scale projects?
Our association's business has been booming over the past two years!

The opportunity has arrived, and there's no way to stop it!
Wuhu, take off! Fly! Fly~~
Father... Mother...

Uesugi Muneyuki's face darkened as he realized that his parents had been instantly won over by Mai-senpai.

Can't you guys have any bottom line or integrity? Like me?
Minami Watanabe, on the other hand, sensed a real crisis.

Sure enough, this national goddess is his only and true mortal enemy!
