Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 387, Mai-senpai strikes!
The brawl that occurred within the First Investigation Division was an eruption that vividly demonstrated the internal conflicts within the Metropolitan Police Department. Although the fight was quickly stopped by the members of the First Investigation Division, it still left an indelible scar on the Metropolitan Police Department.

Over the past year, thanks to Uesugi Muneyuki's presence, the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division has become famous nationwide for its unimaginably efficient crime-solving capabilities. Especially when it comes to major crimes involving corpses that require the Special Missions Unit to be dispatched, it's a case of "when I bloom, all others fall," with "equipment, action, and perfection." Although the Special Missions Unit takes the most credit, there are only a few people in the Special Missions Unit, and the First Investigation Division is the main police department, so it naturally gets a share of the credit.

Therefore, the First Investigation Division has been generally calm and has achieved many successes over the past year, with a bright future and promising prospects.

But with this incident today, the Metropolitan Police Department reacted swiftly, immediately blocking all information and announcing that it would handle the matter internally. Criminal Investigation Chief Uchimura finally found an opportunity. He summoned the First Investigation Division Chief, Sugishita Ukyo, to his office and launched into a tirade, scolding him for his poor management, his failure to solve cases, and his incompetent leadership.

In short, I must resign!
You, Sugishita Ukyo, must resign voluntarily and take the blame for this!

Faced with Chief Detective Uchimura's accusations, Sugishita Ukyo remained silent. He was still immersed in the grief of what had happened before. He had also participated in the search of that bar, but he never expected things to turn out this way. He had expected the search to be futile, but the rapid intervention of the Public Security Bureau, the frank confession of his old friend Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda and the unspeakable inside story, coupled with the discovery of Kashiwagi's deliberate backup of evidence by the Public Security Bureau, and Kosaka's helpless deletion of the backup, led to a bloody conflict in the stairwell. All of this left the 57-year-old Chief of the First Investigation Division feeling deeply exhausted.

At this point, Minister Uchimura shifted the blame to him, saying that his intentions were good and that it was all the fault of Section Chief I for carrying out the plan poorly, which left Sugishita Ukyo speechless.

The expectations of his subordinates, the pressure from his superiors, the secrets of the higher-ups, the hopes of the people, and the demands for justice all weighed heavily on the shoulders of Sugishita Ukyo, the head of the First Investigation Division, making it hard for him to breathe and causing his already short body to tremble slightly.

He knew that Minister Uchimura had disliked him for a long time. As a member of Onoda's faction, he had always been ostracized, especially since he held such a crucial and important position as the head of the First Investigation Division, which was being watched by countless people.

Just then, someone came in from outside.

"Minister, the Director is here!" Advisor Nakazono from the Criminal Division rushed in.

“Nani???”

Upon hearing about this, Watanabe Eiji arrived with his men almost immediately.

The Superintendent General of Police, of course, knew the whole story. In Eiji Watanabe's eyes, even the Public Security Police were scapegoats in this matter. He did not blame Jin Kashiwagi, and of course, he would not blame Shinichiro Kosaka.

Eiji Watanabe had always admired Jin Kashiwagi's sense of justice. Although he disliked that Kashiwagi had hit someone and caused such a big incident, the Superintendent General of Police still made a judgment: a month's salary deduction, three days of mandatory home rest, an apology to Kosaka, and a promise not to do it again!
"But, Director!" Kashiwagi still wanted to try his best.

"Enough!!!" Watanabe Eiji roared, "Don't you think about yourself, or about the First Investigation Division and the Metropolitan Police Department? Unauthorized concealment and copying of evidence is a serious crime! If the National Police Agency really investigates, all of you will be severely punished! Right now, the Security Department is just waiting for us to make a mistake! And Kashiwagi, you think you're in the right to hit someone?! Kosaka was just following orders. Don't even mention him, a mere inspector; as the Superintendent General, I could only obey orders. What could he do?"

Considering Kashiwagi Jin's personality, Watanabe Eiji gave him the best way out: "Kashiwagi, Muneyuki pleaded for you. He said he was the one who implicated you."

Zong Xue? Soyuki Uesugi?
Kashiwagi was taken aback, not expecting to hear such news from the Superintendent General of Police.

Uesugi is such a kind person! The Metropolitan Police Department's star inspector is quite touched.

Kashiwagi Jin's expression shifted several times before he finally lowered his head in resentment. Looking at Kosaka, whose face was covered in blood, he could only apologize in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Kosaka, I acted impulsively."

"Hehe, hehehehehe." Kosaka chuckled foolishly and shook his head repeatedly: "It's not your fault, I understand, but there's nothing I can do about it."

As for Shinichiro Kosaka, Eiji Watanabe had mentioned him to Muneyuki Uesugi. He was essentially a "career-oriented" person, smooth-talking and extremely hungry for promotion. His lifelong goal was the position of section chief. But today's incident was not his fault. Even he himself couldn't command the Public Security Police Force, let alone a section chief like Kosaka.

Moreover, Kosaka is over 40 years old, with elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. His wife is a housewife, and his child is in elementary school. What can he do?

The vulnerability and breakdown of middle-aged men often occur in this moment. To some extent, Kosaka took the blame for the organization and the Metropolitan Police Department. He took that punch for the Criminal Investigation Department, but even more so for himself.

"You've worked hard. Go home and rest for a few days, Kosaka. You've been wronged," Watanabe Eiji said softly.

Shinichiro Kosaka's eyes lit up. He saw the guilt and the burning anger of shared hatred in the Superintendent General's eyes, and he knew that the punch he took was worthwhile!
Another weight has been added to the distance from the position of section chief.

Great!
"Hi!!!"

For the rest, Eiji Watanabe announced that everyone, including Ukyo Sugishita, would not be punished, and each detective from the First Division involved in the gym case would be given half a day off and another day of "rest".

A massive internal turmoil was barely contained, vanishing without a trace.

Meanwhile, at the University of Tokyo School of Medicine.

Through Masao Suo's efforts and connections, Muneyuki Uesugi officially enrolled at the University of Tokyo, beginning his combined master's and doctoral studies, while also serving as a part-time clinical research physician.

The University of Tokyo had a mixed feeling about Uesugi Muneyuki, this troublemaker. On the one hand, they greatly admired his talent and ability, but on the other hand, they were really wary of his troublemaking and constant big news. Therefore, they arranged an unusual single office for Uesugi Muneyuki and made it clear that he did not need to participate in specific teaching.

The University of Tokyo also doubted whether there was anyone on campus who could teach him about autopsies.

Naturally, Ishihara Mikoto, a former Osaka University forensic medicine graduate who had worked as a school doctor and countless clinic doctors and wandering doctors, never imagined that one day she would actually follow Uesugi Muneyuki to the University of Tokyo and become Uesugi's designated forensic assistant! So when Uesugi Muneyuki asked Ishihara Mikoto if she wanted to come to the University of Tokyo with him, she came immediately, despite being tired from the previous night!

Mikoto Ishihara also dressed up carefully. She put on the standard white lab coat issued by the University of Tokyo, wore her RA badge, and paired it with a loose, comfortable but high-quality round-neck wool sweater, a thick knitted A-line long skirt that reached her ankles, and pointed patent leather high heels with ankle straps. Her naturally delicate insteps were covered with a layer of slightly thick, high-quality sheer dark skin velvet stockings. Under the heavy and warm top and long skirt, the skin of the stockings showing through at the ankles was the warmest temptation in winter.

Naturally, since Mikoto was only 157cm tall, she secretly pulled her belt up to almost her chest to "steal" some height, making herself appear to have long legs. Beneath her refreshing and beautiful long, flowing hair, her foxy eyes and slightly full, sexy lips were filled with excitement for her new environment and the prestigious University of Tokyo.

Starting today, I'm a student at the University of Tokyo!

"I told you, Mikoto-nee, since you've come to me, I'll definitely give you the best." Uesugi Muneyuki smiled as he looked at his excited Mikoto-nee, feeling very satisfied.

To put it bluntly, the traditional Confucian education in the three East Asian countries has a strong cultural imprint on men, which is the idea that "when poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven." In other words, it is normal for a man with a monthly salary of 3000 to only satisfy his basic living needs. However, when his monthly salary is 30000, this imprint will prompt him to start paying attention to his surroundings and caring for his parents, relatives, and friends, and subconsciously and proactively sharing a portion of his income.

Unfortunately, although Uesugi Muneyuki was a time traveler, he was still aware that he had this kind of mark deeply in his soul. Unlike those so-called "modern independent women" who had broken free from this mark, even though he was aware of it and became successful, he would inevitably pay attention to the people around him. Ishihara Mikoto held a very special place in his heart. When he saw that the woman who gave him his first sense of belonging and wonderful first experience had her fate changed because of him, he felt a joyful sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.

My Mikoto-nee deserves the best!

Of course, Uesugi Muneyuki did not find satisfaction with Minami last night, and he was afraid of ruining her.

So it's you I've chosen, my Mikoto-nee!
But just then, a commotion outside the medical department caught his attention.

what's the situation?
The academic atmospheres of the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University are different. The University of Tokyo has always emphasized seriousness, efficiency and order, and dislikes all kinds of popular elements and frivolous things.

When Uesugi Muneyuki peeked out, he saw the center of the commotion.

Mai-senpai?!
On the stone-paved road near the medical school, national goddess Mai Shirakawa was wearing a well-tailored navy blue woolen knee-length coat, over which she wore a rather formal Armani three-piece suit. She paired it with a dark gray knee-length pencil skirt, the hem of which fell just below her knees, ensuring that her 20D matte black pantyhose were fully displayed. The pantyhose maintained a uniform, pure, and completely opaque deep look, presenting a restrained and sophisticated texture in the cool winter light.

She walked briskly towards the cool, quiet atmosphere of the University of Tokyo's medical school. The sound of her off-white satin high heels clicking on the ground was crisp and restrained. The hem of her coat opened and closed with each step, revealing the smooth, clean lines of her legs encased in her pencil skirt. The matte black fabric extended from the bottom of the skirt to her toes, becoming a composed yet eye-catching element in her sophisticated attire. The high-quality Wolford stockings perfectly outlined her slender ankles and firm arches. Even encased in dark stockings, the beautiful shape of her feet and the dynamic beauty of her gait remained clearly discernible.

The soft winter sunlight streamed through the tall windows and fell upon her. Her unchanging black stockings faithfully covered her legs, creating a delicate balance with the austere academic atmosphere. The goddess-like senior's appearance was strikingly beautiful in the winter light, radiant and incomparable.

Her face, untouched by makeup, was as white as jade, with clear yet soft contours and a high, straight nose. Most striking were her bright eyes, clear and sparkling with slightly upturned corners, exuding an understated yet unintentional radiance. Her naturally rosy, full, and moist lips opened and closed, instantly captivating Uesugi Muneyuki.

The eyes of the senior and junior students met amidst the attention of everyone.

Mai-senpai, what brings you here?

Haha, Tokyo University is my alma mater, and... do you have a lot of questions for me, junior?
Mai Shirakawa's gaze held three parts a smile, three parts cunning, and the rest was full of playfulness and provocation.

Mai-senpai is here!
