Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 393, How come you can run into this while visiting Disneyland?
Tokyo Disneyland is located in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. It is a very rare case that Disney in the United States has completely licensed the park to Japan for ownership and operation. The Japanese side established a company called "Oriental Land Co., Ltd." (OLC) through the purchase of the license, and has full ownership of the Disneyland.

The Walt Disney Company does not own any equity in Tokyo Disneyland. Instead, it allows Tokyo Disneyland to use its intellectual property and operating standards through a franchise agreement, charging royalties.

Walt Disney merely provides creative consulting, design, and development support, directly dispatching actors to manage Disney's roles.

This model is considered very successful, which is why Tokyo Disneyland is different from other Disney parks, boasting a unique marine park and some cultural products that incorporate local Japanese elements.

Correspondingly, Shanghai Disneyland is essentially a subsidiary of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), with SASAC holding 57% of the shares and Walt Disney owning only 43%. This is why Shanghai Disneyland appears rather arrogant towards tourists. However, it should be noted that although Shanghai Disneyland is essentially a SASAC enterprise, its main operations are still primarily guided by Walt Disney.

Therefore, Tokyo Disneyland is a homegrown, authentic Japanese company! And Shanghai Disneyland is an even more so mixed state-owned enterprise with pure red bloodlines belonging to all the people (just kidding)!
Uesugi Muneyuki himself wasn't really a fan of Disneyland. It was certainly fun, though. He had visited Disneyland in his previous life, but there were two things that bothered him. The first was the long queues, and the second was the exorbitant prices. When he went, Hong Kong dollars were quite valuable, and he exchanged several thousand dollars, which almost wasn't enough. He spent three or four months' worth of savings in one trip.

However, people see different things depending on their position.

In this lifetime, he realized that you don't really have to queue at Disneyland.

Early Bird Card, Premium Card, Concierge Service, 33 Club, Premium Tour Guide Service.

Money really can buy you anything.
As the daughter of the Superintendent General of Police, Minami Watanabe could naturally obtain a membership card for Disney's 33 Club. However, the membership card could only bring a maximum of three additional members, and Uesugi Muneyuki's group exceeded that number. Therefore, Miss Minami asked Uesugi Muneyuki to find a way to obtain a membership card for the 33 Club himself.

Uesugi Muneyuki was thinking of going to Mitsui Sumitomo's place or Nippon Life Insurance, but before he could even ask, Mai-senpai's appearance solved all his problems.

She's also a member of the 33 Club!
And so, in late January, the planned Disney trip finally began. Minami led Erena, Asuka, and Mikoto as one group, while Uesugi Muneyuki's group was led by Shirakawa Mai. The two groups entered the park using the 33 Club's special fast track.

Those around them immediately recognized Uesugi Muneyuki and his group, and were shocked.

Uesugi Kubo openly went on a trip with his own Ooku (inner palace)?!

This is big news! Take a picture right away!

"Hello~Mickey!" Mai-senpai didn't seem to mind. After entering the park, she saw the cute Mickey Mouse doll and greeted it.

“Goodbye, Money~” Uesugi Muneyuki glanced at the 1500 yen turkey leg set meal at the Disney restaurant, and then thought about how he couldn’t even come up with the 8 million yen advance payment for the lawsuit when he hired Nishimura Asahi’s office to handle the case, and couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated.

If you don't work hard, you'll just be a freeloader and become Mai-senpai's plaything!

Because the two groups entered the park at different times, Uesugi Shirama only managed to enter after Minami had gone in. Just then, a girl wearing sunglasses, sweet casual clothes, and a Duffy bear headband quickly caught Uesugi Shirama's attention.

The girl, holding a selfie stick, excitedly exclaimed, "Konnichi Sakura Sakura~ Yo-! Everyone on Earth, can you hear me? YKC48, Miyawaki Sakura, is bringing you a completely solo live stream from the Dream Kingdom Disneyland!"

"Share this like crazy now to show your audience count! This precious 'Sakura solo Disney' moment is amazing!"

At this point, seeing that nothing had changed and only a little over a thousand people were watching the live stream, the girl became a little nervous: "...By the way, eh? Is the live stream setup okay? It's quite nerve-wracking talking to myself..."

After saying that, the girl tried her best to zoom out and point the camera at Cinderella Castle in the distance, and tried to adjust her expression: "Oh my god! Look at this castle! With the Magic Hour and the lights, this view is perfect for taking pictures. It's 100% usable material for Instagram posts!"

Then, the girl was momentarily speechless, and awkwardly turned the camera to herself with a slightly teasing expression: "But, to be honest, what I'm most worried about right now is whether Space Mountain will mess up my hairstyle! If the idol's lifeline collapses, the live stream has to end immediately, okay?"

After saying that, Miyawaki Sakura nervously tidied her hair.

No wonder Sakura is nervous; she is currently working very hard to explore new avenues.

Since becoming an idol, Sakura has felt a strong sense of crisis. She could sense that the 48 Group was rapidly declining. She became a sensation just as the group as a whole was starting to fall, so she paid special attention to opportunities outside the group, that is, "terrestrial opportunities".

However, the girl soon discovered that her talents were not very good.

She's bad at singing, bad at acting, and bad at variety shows. To this day, the most famous memes about her are still the ones she got from "God's Hand SP"—the one where she was scared and crawled on the ground, and the one where she ate Yoshinoya. But memes have life cycles, and if you keep using them, not only will the audience get tired of them, but she herself will get tired of them too.

"Why hasn't 'God's Hand' invited me to record a show yet?" Sakura often complained to herself.

I'm bad at everything, not good at studying, and lack any special talents. I can't be an idol for the rest of my life!
After a long period of exploration, Sakura, who was very aware of the crisis, finally found her own path.

YouTube live streaming video creator!
She had actually been uploading content to YouTube before, trying to broaden her reach. This niche hadn't been very popular before, because compared to others, she didn't have any obvious advantages besides her cuteness; each video only got a few thousand views. That is, until she associated with national goddess Mai Shirakawa and legendary forensic pathologist Muneyuki Uesugi.

Japanese people have a strong voyeuristic tendency, especially when it comes to Mai-senpai's private life and Uesugi Muneyuki's private life—it's just too much fun! That's what everyone wants to see, that's what they want to see!

This made Miyawaki Sakura turn to this area. Today was her first time trying live streaming, and she had spent a lot of money on it. Anyway, considering the Japanese people's love for Disney, choosing Disney was definitely the right choice!

The reactions in the comments section were also quite harmonious.

[Sakura is so cute!] [Her hairstyle is perfect!] [Going to Disneyland alone is brave lol] [Why isn't Sakura on this episode of Fuji TV's "God's Hand"?]

"Hehehe, regarding the variety show about God's Hand, all I can say is, please look forward to it!" Miyawaki Sakura suddenly lowered her voice slyly, saying with an air of "insider information": "Regarding the performance with Mai and Uesugi-san, I still have a secret I haven't told you yet. I'm considering making a special video about the 'Sakura Secret History,' hehehe... Anyone who wants to see it? Leave a comment saying 'want to see it'!... If this episode gets more than 1000 likes, favorites, coins, and a triple tap, maybe... it'll be released to the public for a limited time... okay?"

After the girl finished speaking, she shyly covered her face. She knew she was actually bragging, but the barrage of comments like "Want to see, want to see" still made her quite proud.

I caught one! Wow, my skill at fooling the viewers in the chat isn't bad after all!

At that moment, Miyawaki Sakura suddenly noticed that the number of comments and the number of people watching simultaneously had suddenly started to surge exponentially!

what happened?

Sakura looked at the camera and the live stream with a puzzled expression. Because of the ten-second delay in the live stream, it wasn't until she saw the comments frantically reminding her to look behind her that Sakura Miyawaki noticed a pair of outstanding-looking men and women standing behind the camera.

Who are these two people?

The camera shook violently, and Sakura's voice was lowered to the minimum, filled with unbelievable excitement and trembling. She swore that she would recognize these two people even if they were reduced to ashes!
"Wait... family, could it be... did you see that? That... that silhouette, that gait... could it be... could it be... the national goddess, Mai Shirakawa?! And the man next to her is... the legendary University of Tokyo PhD, the legendary forensic pathologist, the Metropolitan Police Department's ace, Muneyuki Uesugi?!"

A mix of immense panic and ecstatic joy at the prospect of opportunity washed over her. Sakura switched back to her high-pitched livestreaming voice, raising her volume as she turned around with feigned surprise. She saw Mai and Uesugi, both wearing sunglasses, staring at her in astonishment: "Oh my god! Is this a miracle?! Is this a dream?! Disney's magic has summoned a super-guest?!"

"Mai-sama—!!! Uesugi-san—!!! Long time no see!!!"

Mai Shirakawa and Muneyuki Uesugi greeted Sakura with smiles. When Mai saw Sakura holding her phone, wearing a Duffy headband, and forcing a smile, her surprised expression gave way to a gentle and knowing smile. Muneyuki Uesugi, on the other hand, had a strange expression, with the calm observation typical of a scholar, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he found it very interesting.

How can I run into someone I know while visiting Disneyland?

Fortunately, they were just acquaintances, not dead people.

If Uesugi Muneyuki were to encounter a murder case while visiting Disneyland, wouldn't she really become Conan?
Mai-senpai approached gracefully in her long boots, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "Oh my? Sakura? I never expected to run into you here, you startled me. Are you live-streaming?"

Sakura's camera zoomed in on Mai Shiraishi's face, then pulled back to film herself, her voice trembling with excitement: "Y-yes!!! I'm enjoying Disneyland solo, doing a live stream!!! Mai-sama, Uesugi-san, I'm so sorry to bother you in your busy schedule! But...but...this moment can't be left out of the live stream, right?! A collaboration of the century?!"

"Viewers, look!! It's these two!! Lady Shirakawa Mai and Lady Uesugi Muneyuki!! They've descended upon Sakura's live stream—!!!"

"Share! Spread the word! Gifts! Now! A historic moment!"

In the short time it took to say those few words, the number of people responding had already exceeded 10,000.

Sakura never expected to run into Shiroma Uesugi while visiting Disneyland! This livestream is going to be incredible! Absolutely incredible!
Seeing Sakura's flustered state, Uesugi Muneyuki thought to himself, "What an adorable opportunist trying to ride the wave of popularity!" He gently interjected, his clear tone characteristic of someone from a prestigious family: "You're coming all alone? That's rare, Sakura-chan. Be careful not to get too excited. Excessive emotional outbursts can cause autonomic nervous system dysfunction in this cold weather!"

"Huh... red bean paste?" Sakura feigned surprise: "So this is a PhD from the University of Tokyo? As expected of Uesugi-san!"

Seeing Sakura's excited state, Mai-senpai couldn't help but glance at Uesugi Muneyuki, who was interacting with Miyawaki Sakura. After a thoughtful look, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she took the initiative to say, "Since it's such a coincidence, let's play together today, shall we?"

"Hey hey hey hey hey???"

Little Sakura was overjoyed.

I managed to mooch off them again!

Life is but seventeen years, like a dream or an illusion!
The cherry blossom season is here, and we're all excited!
