Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 420, Yi Kong loses to Bai Jiang Kun! You'll be the one to lead the charge!
The door to the archives room in the underground warehouse of Sakuradamon was tightly closed. Kashiwagi Meisa stood outside the door, as if trying to suppress the complex emotions surging in her chest. The complex emotions, which were mixed with joy, anxiety, tension and unease and a sense of relief, made her reach out to touch the door several times, but then suddenly pull her hand back.

As the head of the Equipment Management Department, Meisa Kashiwagi certainly knew which places in the Metropolitan Police Department were suitable for secret meetings without being discovered. However, she never imagined that one day she would need to provide Uesugi Muneyuki with a rendezvous location and cover for him. This intense sense of confusion and humiliation made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Her navy blue uniform jacket felt unusually heavy at this moment, and the tight police uniform skirt also restricted her body.

But she couldn't help feeling a mix of anticipation and secret joy when she heard Uesugi Muneyuki's summons. She was both afraid and excited, her feelings were indescribably complicated.

With a gentle push of her knuckles, Kashiwagi Meisa found herself in the archives room, just as she had hoped.

"You've arrived." Uesugi Muneyuki's expression was calm but slightly languid. He stood behind a filing cabinet, leaning against the wall, holding a document in his hand. He didn't look up immediately. The archive room was brightly lit, and the air was filled with the smell of paper and old leather.

"Forensic officer." Meisa Kashiwagi's voice was as calm as ever, but one could hear the excitement and turmoil within her: "Is...is there something you need?"

"Can't I come to you if there's nothing wrong, Madam?" Uesugi Muneyuki slowly raised his head. His eyes were sharp but slightly smiling. His gaze habitually swept over her whole body and finally landed on her legs almost naturally.

The former Metropolitan Police Department's leader had a pair of shapely and slender legs. Under the light of the archives, the straight lines encased in flesh-colored pantyhose extended from the lower edge of her knee-length skirt. The sheer stockings shimmered with a delicate and soft sheen under the light, evenly covering every inch of the icy mixed-race wife's skin and outlining the smooth and firm curves of her calves down to her ankles.

The black patent leather high heels stepped onto the clean floor tiles, and the perfect 5cm heel height made Mrs. Kashiwagi's legs appear even longer and more powerful, with her arches showing a perfect curve under the delicate stockings.

Meisa Kashiwagi certainly noticed Muneyuki Uesugi's gaze. The icy mixed-race wife had a very complicated feeling. She stood still, keeping her back straight to show that she was invincible, and slightly tightened her chin to meet Muneyuki Uesugi's gaze, indicating that she was not afraid of him!

However, in private, Mrs. Kashiwagi subtly shifted her weight from one foot to the other. This subtle movement caused the muscle lines of her beautiful, fleshy legs to tighten and relax slightly under the thin stockings, and the toes of her high heels to turn at an almost imperceptible angle, allowing Uesugi Muneyuki to appreciate them even more.

Uesugi Muneyuki's gaze froze for a moment, and the corners of his mouth turned up almost imperceptibly, not a smile, but more like a satisfied confirmation.

"Madam," Uesugi Muneyuki spoke, his voice slow and deliberate, carrying a sense of knowing full well, "How have you been lately? Have you encountered any problems at work?"

"Everything is fine." Kashiwagi Meisa couldn't quite place what Uesugi Muneyuki was about to say. Had her husband gotten into trouble again? Did he need her? Or was there something he needed her help with?

She didn't know, but she knew she had no power to refuse. The icy, mixed-race woman took a step forward, her heels clicking heavily on the ground. As she approached, her beautiful legs swayed back and forth, her hips swaying beneath her police uniform, accompanied by her uniquely cold and alluring mixed-race features. She cautiously complimented, "Congratulations, Uesugi-san! You've done a great job this time! The nation and the headquarters are proud of you..."

However, Uesugi Muneyuki did not answer immediately. He simply looked at her quietly, his fingers clasped together on his abdomen, his gaze fixed on her. The air in the archive room seemed to freeze, leaving only a silent, oppressive sense of scrutiny and being scrutinized.

What...what do you want to do? Meisa Kashiwagi asked, puzzled.

"Madam, do you really not know?" Uesugi Muneyuki then asked.

"I know, what?" Mrs. Kashiwagi still didn't quite understand. Wasn't she supposed to be giving me a surprise?

"Regarding the two police inspectors who died in the line of duty?"

"Yes, the department is very sorry about this. No one expected that the other party would have a gun... What happened?" Kashiwagi Meisa still looked confused.

Uesugi Muneyuki sighed softly. His young face possessed the sharpness and unquestionable authority unique to the Uesugi bloodline of the nobility. He scrutinized Kashiwagi Meisa for a moment, then sighed again, "Dean of the Equipment Management Department, Inspector Kashiwagi Meisa, the situation involving the Ghost Guest in Ikebukuro... is not minor. We've discovered a small problem. I have a question now: can I trust you?"

After saying that, Uesugi Muneyuki took out the bulletproof vest test report and handed it to Kashiwagi Meisa: "If you've thought it through, take a look at this. Maybe you can tell me what's going on."

The order was simple, direct, and left no room for negotiation. Kashiwagi Meisa had no way to refuse Uesugi Muneyuki, so she had no choice but to take the document and begin to read it carefully.

The document is, of course, a test report about bulletproof vests.

As she read, the air seemed to be sucked away. Kashiwagi Meisa felt a chill creep up her spine from her feet, while her cheeks burned as if on fire. The color drained from the face of this icy beauty, leaving only a cold, pale pallor. Her jaw was taut, the outline of her masseter muscles almost visible, and her bright, clear eyes churned with disbelief and panic. This...this is impossible!

That was the only thought in her mind.

Is there a problem with the bulletproof vest?
No, it's not just a few bulletproof vests that are faulty; it's all the bulletproof vests in the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and even all the bulletproof vests that Japan has purchased from Yamato Armor!
This, how is this possible? !
The head of the Equipment Management Department instinctively wanted to refute, but she quickly realized that the head of the Equipment Section's inspection of the warehouse was indeed just a routine check for stains and breakage, and whether the batch numbers and dates matched. Live-fire tests were not actually conducted because they were not mandatory, and the routine inspections were only performed on the submitted samples!

A brief silence followed, until faint footsteps could be heard outside the archives, which only amplified the suffocating oppression inside!

"I...I don't know! I...I really don't know, I don't know anything!" Kashiwagi Meisa instinctively tried to scream in terror, but quickly realized she couldn't. She quickly covered her mouth, her eyes reddening with anxiety. "I really don't know! Uesugi-san! I really..."

“But you are the head of the Equipment Management Department, Madam,” Uesugi Muneyuki said calmly.

“I am the section chief, that’s true, but as you know, Uesugi-san, we female police officers in the internal affairs department are essentially in charge of general affairs. I’m only responsible for paperwork and routine signatures. As long as it’s a form given to me by the section chief, I will sign it!”

“But you are still the head of the Equipment Management Department, Madam.” Uesugi Muneyuki interrupted her, then continued, “Madam, you will go to jail for doing this.”

Uesugi Muneyuki's attitude made Kashiwagi Meisa feel desperate.

Yes, although she was a female police officer in the General Affairs Section, she was able to serve as the head of the Equipment Management Department. It was impossible for her not to understand the report, not to see the serious problems with the bulletproof vests, and not to be unaware that the bulletproof vests provided by Yamato Armor were of inferior quality and made with substandard materials!
Similarly, although she was mainly responsible for routine signing and paperwork and did not know about the bulletproof vest issue, she was the head of the Equipment Management Department, and if a problem occurred, she would definitely not be able to escape responsibility!

Is this what they call a surprise?
Mrs. Kashiwagi looked at Uesugi Muneyuki with a mixture of grief, anger, and a hint of disappointment at being betrayed.

Oh, no, this might actually be a surprise; at least he was willing to come to me first...

"I understand, forensic officer." Mrs. Kashiwagi's voice was unusually calm, without even a tremor. She turned slightly to the side, took a deep breath, and her trembling fingers reached for the hem of her suit. "I... I'll do whatever you say, Uesugi-san. I... I'll give you everything. Please, please think of something and save me!! Please, Uesugi-san, for the sake of what happened before..."

Mrs. Kashiwagi lifted her skirt slightly up to mid-thigh, revealing a small section of skin above her knees covered by thin, flesh-colored pantyhose. She struggled to control her breathing, her voice a mixture of shame and pleading: "I... I've always done as you asked..."

The wife's sorrowful and shy appearance made Uesugi Muneyuki unable to look away. He leaned against the wall, relaxed, and checked that the icy mixed-race beauty had indeed followed his requirements. He nodded in satisfaction: "Madam, so you need my help?"

"I desperately need it! Uesugi-san, please, please have mercy." Kashiwagi Meisa grasped at this last straw, quickly lowering her skirt and grabbing Uesugi Muneyuki's large hand, her eyes filled with tears: "I'll do whatever you say, no matter what I do."

"Very good. We've been training for a thousand days to use them for one. If we lose everything to Bai Jiangkun, you'll be the one to lead the charge!"

Uesugi Muneyuki finally nodded in satisfaction, and whispered his plan to Kashiwagi Meisa.

And so on and so forth...

"Huh?!" After hearing Uesugi Muneyuki's plan, Kashiwagi Meisa felt as if the blood in her body had frozen instantly, then rushed to her head, and her body trembled uncontrollably: "R-really? Can this really save me?"

“Of course it’s true!” Uesugi Muneyuki nodded. “Only in this way can you save yourself, Madam! You should also understand how serious this matter is. If it’s not handled properly, not only will you go to jail, but the entire Metropolitan Police Department’s top leadership, including the Superintendent General, will have to resign!”

“But… how can I be sure you’re not lying to me? How can I be sure you won’t abandon me and cut me off? I…” Kashiwagi Meisa trembled with fear as she thought of Uesugi Muneyuki’s plan.

"Then, shall I prove it now, Madam?"
