Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 375, Mrs. Kashiwagi's Request
"This is an application to purchase new instruments."

"From the Equipment Management Department of the General Affairs Division of the Metropolitan Police Department," Uesugi Muneyuki handed the thick file bag to Kashiwagi Meisa with a hearty laugh.

Meisa Kashiwagi wore a crisp Metropolitan Police Department winter uniform. The navy blue wool suit was sharply tailored, and the gold badge and double-breasted buttons exuded a cold, hard feel. Her white shirt collar was neatly pressed, and she wore a dark blue tie, which further accentuated her upright posture and aloof demeanor.

Her striking mixed-race features carried a coldness; her brows and eyes were frosty, her gaze calm yet sharp, her thin lips tightly pressed together, exuding an unapproachable chill as she fiercely warned Uesugi Muneyuki with her eyes.

Beneath the navy blue uniform skirt, a pair of long legs were encased in sheer brown stockings, clearly outlining the smooth, firm lines from calves to knees. The absolute territory formed by the skirt hem and the edge of the stockings silently exuded a restrained allure.

She wore a pair of black pointed-toe 5cm high heels. The simple shoe design accentuated her arches, elongating her sleek leg lines. Her slender ankles were lightly bound by the shoelaces, and her footsteps made a clear and steady sound on the ground. The sheen of her stockings complemented the lines of the high heels, highlighting her beautiful, cool, and sophisticated legs and feet beneath the strict policewoman uniform.

It seems Mrs. Kashiwagi isn't wearing the Atsugi-style flesh-colored winter pantyhose that are standard for the Metropolitan Police Department.
Uesugi Muneyuki glanced at her again.

Ever since the two crossed the line at the Metropolitan Police Department's annual meeting, Meisa Kashiwagi has been avoiding him. She will never meet him if she can ask someone else to do something for her, and she will never speak to him if she can communicate with him via email.

He understood why, of course; Mrs. Kashiwagi was clearly regretting it, well, quite regretting it.

However, she had no idea what it meant to have the spirit runes branded on her body...

"Um... okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, I will... report it."

Meisa Kashiwagi slowly accepted it, her expression a little stiff. Her face, as always, had the distinctive features of a mixed-race person. The lines of her brow bone and nose bridge were like carefully carved icicles, exuding an unapproachable coldness.

Those deep eyes, hidden behind long eyelashes, seemed to gaze at Uesugi Muneyuki like the cold stars of a winter night.

This is the Metropolitan Police Department, you absolutely cannot mess around here! I've warned you! There won't be a next time!

The mixed-race policewoman's thin lips were tightly pressed together, their natural crimson color appearing exceptionally cold due to the aura emanating from her, like a rose covered in the first snow. Yet, this perfect iceberg cracked automatically in front of Uesugi Muneyuki.

Meisa Kashiwagi is really afraid of seeing Muneyuki Uesugi. Ever since the last annual party, she has found that whenever Muneyuki Uesugi appears nearby, her body starts to act strangely, as if it has been awakened and becomes disobedient and uncontrollable.

What the hell did this damn man do to my body?!

Meisa Kashiwagi vaguely remembered that Muneyuki Uesugi said he would give her a "special gift," so she went for a gynecological exam. However, the data showed no abnormalities. On the contrary, the doctor said with envy that her estrogen levels were rising.

The problem is that it's like she has a radar installed on her! As soon as Uesugi Muneyuki appears nearby, her body immediately senses it! Kashiwagi Meisa even discovered that she doesn't need to be on the same floor; she can immediately tell whether Uesugi Muneyuki is in his office, even if she's just downstairs in the Special Missions Building!

There's no explanation other than Uesugi doing something to his body! But the problem is, Kashiwagi Meisa has no evidence! And she doesn't know how to tell anyone about this!
Therefore, Meisa Kashiwagi could only endure it in silence.

Since the last time, although the Kashiwagi couple had made up on the surface, they had started sleeping in separate rooms. Kashiwagi Jin was indeed different from Uesugi Muneyuki and was not a lecherous person. This caused her to always have the scenery of the Tokyo Cultural Exchange Center and the furniture and lights in that lounge pop into her mind when she slept alone at night. Moreover, as time went by, she felt that something was gradually being engraved into her bones, brain and soul.

Now that Uesugi Muneyuki was actually standing in front of her and talking to her, Kashiwagi Meisa found herself feeling something she had never felt before. She couldn't help but squeeze her legs together, and her face turned unnaturally red.

"Are you alright, Mrs. Kashiwagi?" Uesugi Muneyuki asked with concern.

"N-nothing." Kashiwagi Meisa waved her hand gently, signaling to Uesugi Muneyuki and Ishihara Mikoto that they could leave, under the strange gazes of the Equipment Management Department members. The door was over there. "I'm just feeling a little unwell. It's been happening often since last time... I received the things. Please leave."

—You rascal! If you don't leave soon, I'm going to start acting weirder and weirder!

"Oh, okay, see you later. By the way, please ask Mrs. Kashiwagi to tell her that although it may be quite expensive, I believe it will definitely come in handy." After hearing this, Uesugi Muneyuki turned around and prepared to leave with Ishihara Mikoto.

Moreover, he very naturally switched to another mode, telling the forensic beauty that there was a steak and beef bowl restaurant that had recently opened near the Metropolitan Police Department, and suggested they go eat there together, on his behalf.

The forensic beauty was naturally a no-brainer, and she even said with a slight reproach, "If you don't bring Ikeda along, I'll agree to go with you."

Watching their retreating figures, Meisa Kashiwagi felt a sense of loss.

He just left like this?

Are they really just leaving like this? As Uesugi Muneyuki and Ishihara Mikoto prepared to leave, Kashiwagi Meisa suddenly felt a surge of intense jealousy welling up inside her.

Uesugi Muneyuki had never treated her as well as he had treated the forensic beauty!
Since the annual meeting, Kashiwagi Meisa has secretly investigated Ishihara Mikoto. It's clear that Uesugi Muneyuki really likes and takes good care of this forensic beauty, arranging a special women's dormitory for her, making her his assistant, and giving her all the support he can. Even the document in her hand applying for the NEC far-infrared spectrometer was Ishihara Mikoto's idea!
There have even been rumors within the hall that Uesugi Muneyuki will be joining the forensic medicine department of the University of Tokyo's affiliated hospital, and that Ishihara Mikoto will be joining the hospital with him!
In other words, just a few months ago, Mikoto Ishihara was working as a beast of burden, examining corpses and assessing injuries at various clinics and small parlors in the Tama area, and now she's about to fly to the prestigious University of Tokyo and become a phoenix.
Meisa Kashiwagi is insanely jealous of Mikoto Ishihara. What she craves and needs most is a stable and safe environment. She originally thought Jin Kashiwagi could provide that, but later she discovered that her husband was unreliable, making one mistake after another! The Fujitsu incident was resolved by herself and Muneyuki Uesugi, and the rudeness at the annual meeting was also resolved by Muneyuki Uesugi. This time, there are rumors that she has offended Chief Prosecutor Nishikawa of the District Public Prosecutors Office.

Upon hearing this news, Meisa Kashiwagi was furious, thinking, "Is this never going to end? Uesugi-san already said that last time was the last time I cleaned up your mess!"
Ok? !

Just then, Meisa Kashiwagi suddenly remembered something.

It seems the district prosecutor's office also has contact with Uesugi Muneyuki, right?
Perhaps, perhaps he can still help Ren... Yes, he can definitely help Ren!

I'm doing this for Ren's sake... but I'm just a non-professional policewoman from Beijing, what can I do? I can only... beg him again, plead with him...

Meisa Kashiwagi reluctantly convinced herself that she wasn't doing this for herself, but for her husband's career and future!

She took out her phone.

She had already deleted Uesugi Muneyuki's phone number, but it didn't matter; she had already memorized it.

........................

The Metropolitan Police Department corridor was quiet and formal in the afternoon. Meisa Kashiwagi was pacing back and forth during her lunch break, carrying a stack of documents. Her navy blue winter uniform accentuated her tall, slender figure, and her long, shapely legs, encased in dark brown stockings, tapped crisply and rhythmically on the floor with each step in her black stilettos. Her face was calm, carrying the cool, professional air characteristic of someone in a working state; she was simply waiting for something.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared from around the corner—Uesugi Muneyuki arrived as expected. His gaze immediately fell upon her. Meeting his eyes, Meisha's silk-stockinged legs subtly and instinctively tightened, and a hint of panic and incredulous surprise flashed in her usually calm and icy eyes. Almost instinctively, she wanted to go forward, but her professionalism and awareness of being in a public place immediately suppressed the impulse. She quickly glanced around, making sure no one was on one side of the corridor for the time being, and then gestured for him to follow.

The two tacitly slipped into a narrow passageway leading to a backup stairwell. Only the emergency lights emitted a faint glow, instantly making the space feel private and cramped.

"That..." In the narrow corridor, the voice of the former Metropolitan Police Department's leader was extremely low, trembling slightly. His usual cold elegance was now softened by fear and tension, and a hint of shyness crept into his eyes and brows: "About last time..."

"Wasn't that all over?" Uesugi Muneyuki was both surprised and not particularly surprised to receive a text message from Mrs. Kashiwagi. His voice was equally deep: "Is there anything else?"

“Um… Jin, it seems he’s offended someone again!” Kashiwagi Meisa said, trembling. Facing her, the icy, half-blooded beauty was desperately trying to maintain her composure and a pitiful shred of shame, while Uesugi Muneyuki’s breath made her feel like she was melting. “Could you… could you help him again? Please! I don’t know many people, and the District Attorney…”

“Oh? That’s true. I was there when Director Watanabe and Chief of Staff Nishikawa had dinner together.” Uesugi Muneyuki suddenly realized, his gaze fixed intently on the ashamed wife, a mixture of helplessness and amusement in his eyes: “I remember telling you last time, Madam, this is the last time I’ll be cleaning up your husband’s mess, isn’t it?”

“Yes…but…Uesugi-san…” Kashiwagi Meisa lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, almost unable to look him in the eye: “Who else can I turn to besides you?”

"You're asking me? You're asking me about your husband?" Uesugi Muneyuki looked at the former Metropolitan Police Department Chief with amusement; her sorrowful and shy demeanor was always so captivating.

"I..." Kashiwagi Meisa thought to herself, "Isn't it all because you tampered with my things!"
Thinking of this, Mrs. Kashiwagi slightly turned her body, shifting her weight to one leg. Her other leg, clad in brown stockings and pointed high heels, seemed to casually extend forward half a step, her toes gracefully touching the ground so that the heel of her shoe detached from her silk-stockinged foot.

This subtle movement instantly straightened the smooth lines of her legs, from her firm knees to her slender ankles, and then to her taut arches and pointed toes. In the dim light, the stockings gleamed with a restrained luster, displaying her beautiful legs and feet extending from beneath her uniform skirt in a subtle yet aesthetically pleasing manner, briefly and deliberately before his eyes: "Can't you, can't you make an exception just this once?"

Uesugi Muneyuki's gaze deepened instantly: "You said last time there wouldn't be a next time, Madam."

“Yes, I said that, but… please, please…” Kashiwagi Meisa felt a mix of emotions. She suddenly realized that she really enjoyed talking to Uesugi Muneyuki, being alone with him in this private place, and even more so, enjoying being able to show herself to him. So she whispered, “This is Sakuradamon, I don’t want to… but other things… okay? Is it alright?”

“Madam, Madam, you have really sacrificed so much for Kashiwagi. Don’t you realize that he doesn’t even know how much you’ve done?” Uesugi Muneyuki smiled helplessly. He took Kashiwagi Meisa’s hand and whispered in her ear, “Alright, I promise you.”

"However, I have a small request, and I hope you will be so kind as to grant it."

"What...request?" Meisa Kashiwagi slowly closed her eyes: "Except for...I'll grant you everything..."

Upon hearing this, the former Metropolitan Police Department's face suddenly felt a strange joy. This joy did not come from successfully helping her husband, but from the fact that she had rebuilt her connection with Uesugi Muneyuki!

But everything I did was for Ren! Meisa Kashiwagi said to herself with a clear conscience.

It's all for him!
