Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 361, Bunshun Bombards the Metropolitan Police Department!

In the Metropolitan Police Department's main conference room, behind two rows of long tables sat all the high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department, except for Superintendent General Eiji Watanabe.

Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department, Ren Oyama, was a tall, thin bureaucrat with slicked-back hair, black-rimmed glasses, small eyes, and a gaunt face. His sinister and fierce gaze was fixed on Muneyuki Uesugi, who was sitting on the other side of the large conference room.

The anonymous whistleblower letter instantly ignited the entire Metropolitan Police Department, prompting Eiji Watanabe to urgently order all high-ranking officials to put aside their current affairs and hold an emergency meeting to discuss how to handle the matter.

Uesugi Muneyuki was urgently summoned to the main conference room. To avoid suspicion, Watanabe Eiji voluntarily withdrew from the meeting, which was then chaired by Metropolitan Police Department Deputy Commissioner Ren Oyama.

Ren Oyama, 57 years old, is a professional officer and the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department. He rarely appears in public mainly because Superintendent General Eiji Watanabe is too domineering. As a result, his presence as the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department has always been low, and he rarely has the opportunity to show his face. Moreover, since he comes from the Public Security Bureau, his whole demeanor has always been quite sinister and ruthless. It is said that he was a ruthless person who participated in the suppression of far-left wing and counter-terrorism in his youth, and he is especially known for his ruthlessness towards people.

"I'm so sorry to have called you here despite being so busy, Inspector Uesugi." Superintendent Haruki Okouchi, the chief inspector of the Metropolitan Police Department, stood up. He apologized, but there was no smile on his face or in his tone. "Regarding this anonymous tip-off letter and this article we received, could you share your thoughts?"

In the conference room, a long row of high-ranking officials, from superintendent to police chief, all turned to look at Uesugi Muneyuki. From the Minister of Criminal Investigation to the Minister of Public Security, from the Minister of General Affairs to the Minister of Police Affairs, from the Minister of Transportation to the President of the Police Academy, many of the dark-skinned people had graying temples or even gray hair, but every pair of eyes contained scrutiny and complex emotions.

Uesugi Muneyuki is undoubtedly a great benefactor and capable assistant to the Metropolitan Police Department. His sudden emergence has solved countless major and unsolved cases for the department. However, if this anonymous tip-off letter is true, then the Metropolitan Police Department will be in big trouble!
Previously, the ministers had been wondering why Uesugi Muneyuki didn't completely transfer his entire post to the Metropolitan Police Department. It was difficult to issue such an order!

Now the ministers are relieved that Uesugi Muneyuki has remained a nominal member of the hospital and has not fully joined the Metropolitan Police Department.

It's not too late to seek justice!

If he can come up with a reasonable explanation, then the Metropolitan Police Department can still think about how to protect him. If he can't, then the only path left is the Divine Separator and the Righteous Cut!

Although Uesugi-kun is our benefactor, at this moment, our own position is more important. We have worked hard in the police force for decades and have reached the rank of Superintendent General. We can't end it here! Who wouldn't want to experience the life of a Superintendent General before retiring?
Well, it all comes down to this kid. Watanabe Eiji served his entire term as the first Superintendent General of Police, and he's still serving now.

If this kid falls, what if Director Watanabe also...? Then I'll have a chance!
The people in the Metropolitan Police Department looked at Uesugi Muneyuki with complicated emotions; they wanted to protect him, yet they also wanted to abandon him.

That depends on how Uesugi Muneyuki answers next.

"A whistleblower letter? I'm sorry, I don't know what happened yet. Can I take a look?" Uesugi Muneyuki frowned, thinking to himself, "It's here after all!"
“Very well, then take a look.” Chief Inspector Haruki Okouchi handed the anonymous whistleblower letter and the newspaper to be published to Muneyuki Uesugi.

Uesugi Muneyuki glanced at the document, a thought struck him, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

He had indeed made all sorts of preparations, including the most likely attack from his private life and sexual relationships. He was prepared for his private life to be exposed, for his intimate relationship with Mai-senpai, for his affair with a Fuji TV news anchor, for his past with his group of sex partners before he obtained the Azure Stone, for Yamaguchi Maho to betray him by saying he raped someone, and even earlier for a sex partner to bring a child and call him "Dad." He was prepared for all of this.

However, Uesugi Muneyuki did not expect that his opponent would find his most hidden and core area right away.

Asuka Saito, who is underage!
Asuka is already someone who lives a very secluded life and never interacts with outsiders.

It's no wonder it's a weekly Bunshun; they can stake out a major news story for months.

Sure enough, when I turned the newspaper, it was the press release that Weekly Bunshun was preparing to publish.

[[Charge the state! 】】

"Legendary national forensic pathologist, the Metropolitan Police Department's last resort and savior, Uesugi Muneyuki, the 'Ooku-o'an of Sakuradamon, has been found to have a '17-year-old underage girl' in his home! Suspected of illegally controlling and keeping her as a mistress!"

Below are two photos: one is of Saito Asuka in her uniform entering and leaving the Sakata Bridge Building, and the other is of Uesugi Muneyuki picking up and dropping off Asuka at school on several occasions.

"The core facts!"

"This publication has confirmed that a 17-year-old girl, identified as 'A,' is suspected of cohabiting with Uesugi Muneyuki (24 years old), a specially appointed crime scene investigator of the Special Missions Unit of the First Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department! She appears to be doing housework at his home! According to sources, Uesugi Muneyuki has paid the girl over 500 million yen in salary over two years!"

"At the same time, according to our investigation, the adoptive parent of girl A is Ishihara Mikoto (32 years old), a forensic assistant to Uesugi Muneyuki and a graduate of Osaka University. There are major doubts about this adoption! According to our investigation, the adoptive parent was not selected by a third-party agency, but was designated by girl A herself. After the adoption was successful, Ishihara Mikoto not only joined the Special Missions Unit, but also received special permission from the Metropolitan Police Department to live in a women's dormitory!"

"According to an insider from a third-party housekeeping company, live-in housekeeping services should not be provided by minors under the age of 20 unless the consent of their guardian is obtained."

"In other words, is this a dark web woven by Uesugi Muneyuki himself to control the minds and bodies of innocent girls?"

"To this end, we interviewed Attorney B from XX Law Firm!"

"Lawyer B stated that, according to Japan's Child Welfare Law, living with a man under the guise of a live-in housekeeper, with questionable adoption procedures and paying significantly higher-than-market wages, constitutes a clear violation of the law. Furthermore, if Uesugi Muneyuki forces girl A to perform 'late-night housework,' it may even violate the Juvenile Protection Ordinance!"

"It is well known that Uesugi Muneyuki's private life has always been unhealthy. According to incomplete investigations, he may have as many as six or seven potential lovers! Gentlemen, why would he keep such a minor girl, A, by his side as a live-in housekeeper?" "Gentlemen! Let's think about this carefully. Perhaps, the devil is right beside you!"

"The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which serves as an iron curtain protecting the citizens of Tokyo from crime, may have been corrupted by darkness."

"Finally, this publication declares that its request to interview Uesugi Muneyuki was refused on the grounds of 'involving the privacy of the person involved.' To ensure the girl's safety, this publication has notified the Shibuya Ward Child Counseling Center and the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office!"

This is the explosive news that Weekly Bunshun is about to publish.

Uesugi Muneyuki glanced at him, then looked up and saw at least twenty pairs of eyes staring intently at him.

"Finished reading?" Deputy Director Da Shanlian asked coldly.

“I’ve finished reading it.” Uesugi Muneyuki nodded.

“Very well, tell me your opinion? In short, is what this report and the whistleblower letter say true?” Ōyama Ren clasped his hands together, elbows on the table, hiding the lower half of his face behind his clasped hands: “This is the Metropolitan Police Department; you have no right to remain silent!”

Uesugi Muneyuki's eyes darted around slightly, as if he had remembered something. After a pause, he said, "Although this article in Weekly Bunshun is full of all sorts of suggestive and forced associations, most of the report is true. Saito Asuka is indeed only 17 years old this year, and she does live with me."

Upon hearing his words, the expressions of the high-ranking officers from the Metropolitan Police Department at the scene changed, and they were filled with shock.

You're not satisfied with having Minami Watanabe? You have Minami Watanabe and Erena Ikeda, and even your forensic assistant, and you're still not satisfied? Do you want to keep an underage girl at home just for your amusement?

Uesugi, you beast!

Devilish Uesugi, working in a devilishly bizarre way!

"To be honest, we were all shocked to hear you say that. We never expected that a descendant of the prestigious samurai family, the Kenshin clan, would do such a thing." Deputy Director Ōyama Ren said meaningfully, "Since it's the truth, then it's undeniable, right?"

“There’s nothing to argue about.” Uesugi Muneyuki nodded and said, “It was indeed I who arranged for Ishihara to adopt her… If any of you remember, in the night shift attack at the Tokyo Medical University Dental College more than a year ago, there was an innocent female college student from Musashino, Hokkaido, who died tragically, right? I think some of you here should have attended her funeral. The only relative she had at the funeral was the so-called Girl A whom I adopted, namely Saito Asuka.”

The high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department present were discussing among themselves, most of them looking bewildered. Only the Chief Inspector of the Police Department, Okouchi, nodded and said to the Deputy Commissioner, "Yes, Uesugi-kun is right, there is indeed such a person."

“Then things are starting to get complicated.” Ōyama Ren nodded coldly. “Since this involves a minor, the agency has no choice but to handle it seriously. Uesugi-kun, this is a big deal.”

“I have a full set of legal documents,” Uesugi Muneyuki said calmly. “My entire process was witnessed by a third-party organization!”

“That’s not the point.” Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department, Ren Oyama, shook his head.

Uesugi Muneyuki was taken aback. He couldn't help but say, "For Asuka, I have an adoption permit from the family court, an assessment record from the child counseling center, a filing receipt from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, pay transfer records and tax payment certificates, school attendance certificates and transcripts, as well as tuition payment receipts and evidence of an on-site inspection by the Labor Standards Inspection Agency!"

"All my procedures are documented, and I have saved every single ledger record!"

“It seems you were prepared.” Ōyama Ren nodded first, then shook his head again: “But, Uesugi-kun, you’re thinking too simply about this.”

"Since you have no way to refute this, I hereby formally announce that, in the name of the Metropolitan Police Department's Emergency Investigation Committee, I am suspending you from all duties and all ongoing work until the investigation is completed." Oyama Ren stood up. "However, the Special Missions Unit is a special department with no precedent. Before that, I need to consult the Commissioner and the Police Department. As for Uesugi-kun, go home and wait for news!"

“Yes…” Uesugi Muneyuki’s face was very bad. He was confident that all the procedures were in perfect order and that there was no way there could be any legal problems. But even though he had so much solid legal evidence, it seemed that Deputy Director Oyama Ren did not intend to support him.

Does the Metropolitan Police Department want to give up on him?

In any case, the meeting was over, and he got up to leave.

"Oh, by the way, as the prospective son-in-law of Superintendent Watanabe, you need to learn to avoid suspicion. My advice is that you two shouldn't meet privately during this period; it won't have a good impact." Deputy Superintendent Oyama Ren added, "Until we make a decision internally."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Muneyuki raised an eyebrow and his expression softened slightly; he understood.

"Of course not, Deputy Director Dashan, how could I do such a thing?"
