Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 44: The Metropolitan Police Department’s Confirmation

The district prosecutors suffered a great defeat in this unexpected questioning. Before the three special investigation team prosecutors even walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department building, they could hear the gloating laughter of many suit-suited officers of the Metropolitan Police Department behind them.

This is a humiliation for the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, which has always been lawless.

In Tokyo, their district prosecutors have always been arrogant!

As mentioned earlier, the predecessor of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office was the "Special Investigation Department for Concealment and Retreat" established by Emperor Go-shin Mai.

After the war, when dealing with the aftermath, Emperor Mai discovered that as much as 2400 billion yen (equivalent to 50-3.5 million US dollars in the 4s) worth of material property had been transferred elsewhere by the old bureaucrats before the defeat and their whereabouts were unknown. Emperor Mai was very angry because he believed that the entire old system was rotten and that he had to take a heavy blow. Moreover, considering the intricate connections among the old Japanese bureaucrats, he would not be able to find anything if he asked them to examine and correct themselves. Therefore, Emperor Mai gathered a group of Japanese people who had studied in the United States and the embassies in Japan and the United States to form the Special Investigation Department mentioned above. With the support of Emperor Mai, this group of prosecutors in the Special Investigation Department had great power. They beat up the old senior bureaucrats and large enterprises one by one and recovered a large sum of money.

This organization later evolved into the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. When it was first established, it was no exaggeration to say that this organization was a branch of the U.S. CIA.

Time flies. After the 70s, due to the renewal of the US-Japan Security Treaty and the lack of sufficient excuses to continue interfering, most US forces withdrew from the prosecutorial system. Although they no longer directly control the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, they still have considerable influence on this organization behind the scenes. Those who can work in the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office are truly super elites. For example, among the 23 newcomers who were admitted to the District Public Prosecutors Office this year, 9 were from the University of Tokyo, 11 were from Chuo University, and the remaining 3 were also top students of the law departments of the seven major levels of the Empire. It is precisely because of the US background that a Korean female prosecutor can enter the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. Otherwise, this would be absolutely impossible for traditional and conservative Japan.

The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office has always looked down upon other departments.

For all major crimes, the District Attorney has completely independent search powers as long as they deem it necessary.

This is also why the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Section 2 is always at a disadvantage when facing the District Public Prosecutors Office, because this group of people only needs to obey the Minister of Justice.

But today they were defeated by an ordinary forensic doctor!
After finally getting out of the Metropolitan Police Department building, the leading prosecutor, Kamiya, saw that there was no one left. He was so angry that he kicked the pigeon food on the ground in the garden in front of the Metropolitan Police Department, causing it to fly all over the sky: "You bastard monk!"

The faces of the three prosecutors were all red. The other Korean female prosecutor was so angry that her teeth itched. Veins popped out of her head. Her eyes were small to begin with, and they narrowed into slits as she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "This bastard is still talking tough. Find a dark place to detain him for a few days. I don't believe that a mere forensic doctor like him doesn't have any weaknesses!"

"Shut up! Lin!" Prosecutor Shen Lin shouted, "The Metropolitan Police Department is right next to us!"

The Korean female prosecutor then realized that she was a little excited, but she was still unwilling to give in: "We can't just let this go! He is provoking our local prosecutors, our 132 prosecutors, and the authority of the entire Ministry of Justice!"

"I said, shut up!" Prosecutor Shenlin became even angrier. "Do you know who he is? This monk is from the Chinese community. The Chinese community hall in Kasumigaseki is right across from us! Professor at the University of Tokyo is his grandfather, the director of the Tokyo Cultural Exchange Center is his father, and Professor Okochi is his mentor. You have no reasonable reason to detain him. Are you planning to challenge the entire Chinese community, the medical community, the cultural community, and the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"This..." The female prosecutor hesitated.

It is easy to attack the Metropolitan Police Department. They originally planned to attack the Metropolitan Police Department through Uesugi Sosetsu. The biggest task of the District Prosecutors Office is to monitor the political and business circles, but the District Prosecutors Office also has its fears. That is, they must pay attention to their reputation and social influence. Once they are stained with any stain, their glorious career as a prosecutor will end immediately. Once they lose this identity, it goes without saying what will happen.

"So let's just let this matter go?" Another prosecutor was also unwilling to accept this.

"How is that possible?" Prosecutor Shen Lin said bitterly, "It doesn't matter. Let's just watch first."

"He's just a forensic doctor. There are always mistakes and wrong judgments. When he makes a mistake, he's done for."

"Wait, then."

At the same time, the atmosphere at the Metropolitan Police Department was completely different. As the district prosecutors returned in defeat, the three police inspectors of the Metropolitan Police Department were filled with smiles.

"Little brother Uesugi, you are awesome!"

"Uesugi-kun, you are still the best."

"The local bureaus all said that you are not only very capable in business, but also very good at reporting. We at the Metropolitan Police Department have witnessed this today."

The three police inspectors from the Metropolitan Police Department gave a thumbs up to Uesugi Sosetsu. Among them, the inspector who had tried Sudo Tanaka and Kuwahara Kosaka took the initiative to gesture to Uesugi Sosetsu and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Yanagisawa, and I'm the inspector of the Police Department. If you have any business in the Metropolitan Police Department in the future, just look for me."

"Hello, Inspector Yanagisawa." Uesugi Munen greeted the prosecutor and said, "It's our first meeting. Thank you for your guidance."

Ikeda Erena noticed that although Uesugi Sosetsu won a huge victory, he was not in a happy mood.

Coming out of the conference room, Sudo was called in to give a statement, while Inspector Higurashi followed Uesugi Sosetsu out. There was sweat on his forehead, and he looked at Uesugi Sosetsu with eyes that showed him knowing him again: "Great, little brother Uesugi, I was very worried before."

"Is the district attorney always like this?" Uesugi Sosetsu looked helpless.

"They cause trouble every once in a while." Inspector Higurashi sighed, "They targeted Section 2 several times before, and this time it's Section 1's turn. Their goal is to make Section Chief Mikasa admit her mistakes, so that Section Chief Mikasa will not dare to disobey the District Inspector again during her tenure."

"A declaration of defeat?" Ikeda Erina said angrily.

"That's right, this is what we mean by raising the white flag." Inspector Higurashi stopped halfway through his walk.

Before they knew it, Uesugi Sosetsu and Ikeda Erena suddenly found themselves surrounded by a large group of people in suits!
Led by Inspector Higurashi, thirty or forty male and female police officers from the First Investigation Division, dressed in plain clothes, bowed to Uesugi Sosetsu and expressed their gratitude: "Thank you very much, Uesugi-kun, for helping us maintain the reputation of the First Investigation Division."

After saying this, the real elites of the Metropolitan Police Department all bowed their heads and said, “Thank you!”

The tall beauty's pupils trembled. Only at this moment did she realize what a terrible thing Uesugi Sosetsu had done.

Being able to make these talented people in the Investigation Section bow down...Erina looked at Uesugi Sosetsu's back with a complicated expression.

She once dreamed of joining the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division and fighting evil on the front line!

"If you really want to thank me, take me to the cafeteria." Uesugi Sosetsu was neither humble nor arrogant, and his every move exuded a sense of elegance and gentleness: "I heard that the curry pork chop rice in the Metropolitan Police Department cafeteria is delicious?"

"This way, please. Please try the eel rice as well."

The large cafeteria of the Metropolitan Police Department is extremely large, as it has to supply the needs of tens of thousands of people at all times, and the pork chop rice joke that Uesugi Sosetsu mentioned is an old joke in the police force.

The previous article mentioned "Oni Hachibei", the legendary Japanese police officer Hiratsuka Hachibei. He once broke through the psychological defense of a major criminal with a bowl of pork chop rice: a man kidnapped a 4-year-old boy for a ransom, but the boy was killed even though his family gave money. The criminal was arrested but refused to plead guilty, so Oni Hachibei bought him a bowl of fried pork chop rice out of his own pocket.

It was the 11s, when fried food was considered a luxury dish. The smell of the pork chop rice reminded the criminal of his poor childhood and the story of sharing the pork chop rice he bought with his part-time job with his brothers and sisters. He burst into tears while eating and cried, and then confessed. The authenticity of this incident is actually questionable - Hachibei firmly denied it in his autobiography, but there is also a saying that this behavior violates the police law and is easy to be criticized by those law gods (such as the district prosecutor) and make him lose his reputation in his later years.

In short, pork chop rice has become a meme since then, with a similar meaning to drinking tea.

After sitting down and ordering a pork chop rice and an eel rice, Uesugi Souyuki and Ereina sat opposite each other. Ereina could see that Uesugi Souyuki was still not in a very good mood: "Are you in a bad mood?"

"Yeah, so did you see that? Master Erina, how difficult is it to do something without offending anyone?" Uesugi Sosetsu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "As soon as I achieved a little success, the District Prosecutors Office wanted to use me to fight the Metropolitan Police Department, and the Metropolitan Police Department also threw me out to deal with the District Prosecutors Office. Fortunately, I'm just a doctor... I just want to make things clear."

After saying this, the man looked bleak and shook his head helplessly.

"We all want to make things clear, Uesugi. Isn't the Metropolitan Police Department on your side? Section 1 has also thanked you. And, I, the Otsuka Police Department, will also support you!" Ikeda Erena felt a pain in her heart when she saw Uesugi Souyuki's expression, and quickly comforted him, "It's not that bad. How could you lose?"

After saying that, the tall beauty didn't know what to do. She simply forked a large piece of eel from her bowl and put it in Uesugi Sosetsu's bowl: "Hey, I'll give you half of my eel. Don't be angry, don't be angry. We are all on your side!"

"They only stand on my side if I win. If I lose, huh." Uesugi Sosetsu couldn't help laughing as he watched Erina comforting people clumsily, and his mood improved a lot.

Do you trust me so much?

The essence of the police is bureaucracy, and she is the only one who really wants to stand by her side.

Stupid woman.

But dear Master Erina, have you noticed that these elites from the Metropolitan Police Department didn't even look at you or answer you a word during the entire process?
Uesugi Sosetsu thought that after this incident, he should have received preliminary approval from the Metropolitan Police Department.

It’s not enough, it’s just a good start.

Damn it, the reason why he didn't want to join the Metropolitan Police Department was because as soon as he got in, all the shit that had nothing to do with autopsies, such as Section 1 and Section 2, Criminal Public Security, and Police District Prosecutors Office, would be waiting for him, and Uesugi Sosetsu himself had no intention of getting involved in these dirty politics. What he needed was the platform of the Metropolitan Police Department to provide him with the opportunity to trigger the Dead Soul Contract, collect more souls to strengthen his abilities, explore the truth of the time travel, and the origin of the gem on the back of his hand.

Of course, it would be great if you could rise step by step and gain both fame and fortune in the process.

"Let's change the topic." After thinking about it, Uesugi Sosetsu felt much better. Seeing that his expression had improved, Erina didn't mind.

"You're wearing a police uniform again today?" Uesugi Sosetsu stole a glance at the tall beauty's bulging collar: "It really suits you."

"Because I have to make a formal report today, so..." Ikeda Erena felt Uesugi Sosetsu's gaze, and the tall beauty's heart moved: "I am an outstation, how can I wear a police uniform every day? I only wear it once a month... Do you think wearing a police uniform suits me?"

"To be honest, it's great!" Uesugi Sosetsu gave a thumbs up. "I've heard that the Metropolitan Police Department is full of beauties. Today I see that it's true. But I have to say, not only can't you compare with short hair, even long hair can rarely compare with you."

You can easily tell whether a policewoman is on internal or external duty by looking at the length of her hair. Short hair does not necessarily mean she is on external duty, but long hair is definitely for internal duty. The Metropolitan Police Department is indeed a gathering place for beauties. Along the way, Uesugi Souyuki discovered several women whose looks were no worse than Erina's. After all, Erina has exotic blood, which makes her facial features a little stiff, and in terms of looks alone, she is not one of the best.

But in terms of figure, no other beauty in the Metropolitan Police Department can compare to Erina. The bow legs and lack of waistline of Japanese women pale in comparison to Erina's 1.7-meter tall stature, long slender legs and perfect waistline.

Is he praising himself?

A faint blush appeared on Erina's pretty face, and her light brown eyes were sparkling.

As expected of you, you can even compliment people without making them feel offended at all!
It's a pity that this man rarely says sweet words.

If you really like it, it's not wrong to wear it for him to see occasionally...

"But there's a beautiful girl over there, too. I wonder which department she's from." Just as Ikeda Erena was trying to guess what Uesugi Sosetsu was thinking, the man suddenly pursed his lips and motioned for Ikeda Erena to look over there: "She seems to be peeking at us."

Upon hearing this, Erina looked to the side and indeed, she vaguely felt a presence of gazes.

About fifteen meters away, opposite Inspector Yanagisawa, who had just participated in the interrogation of the local prosecutor, sat a female police officer. She looked very young, wearing a standard female police commuter uniform tube skirt with low-heeled shoes and flesh-colored tights. Her long hair fell from her shoulders without any jewelry. Her strong and outward-looking cold temperament brought with it a murderous aura that made people around her dare not approach. Her talking almond-shaped eyes were dotted with indifference, and her soft eyebrows were like swords, looking at this table with curiosity and scrutiny.

But she is too young. Her delicate, lovely and natural facial features do not make her look old-fashioned because of her cold temperament. Instead, one can faintly feel the playfulness and cuteness of a girl. She has a very sweet apple face, a relatively long middle part, a delicate nose and thin lips, which subconsciously reminds people of the standard image of "Yamato Nadeshiko".

Different from Erena's deliberately cold, strong and indifferent demeanor, this policewoman's pride is like the nobility of Uesugi Soyuki, as if spreading out from her bones bit by bit. She has noticed that Uesugi Soyuki and Erena are looking at him, and her expression is calm, with an aura called "reading" radiating from her body.

Damn it! After seeing the policewoman's face, Erina knew that her looks could never compare to hers.

Is this guy still watching?

The tall beauty regretted it and thought she should not have changed the topic!
"Is it him?"

Fifteen meters away, the policewoman asked Inspector Yanagisawa.

"Yes, it's him." Inspector Yanagisawa whispered, "However, in that situation, he was able to hold on to the existing evidence and use it to prove himself so that the district prosecutors could not find a breakthrough. Considering his talent, perhaps he is a real monster."

"The local prosecutors just saw that my father had just taken office, and they wanted to use him to attack my father." The policewoman said coldly. Under the natural light, her fair skin was flushed, setting off the faint smile on her face: "After all, he is from a famous family of scholars, so it is normal for him to have some level of skills."

"The call from the port area just now..." The policewoman remembered something.

"Yes, the port area reported that there was a fall from a building. It might be a criminal case, and the Investigation Division 1 is planning to send someone to take a look." Inspector Yanagisawa described the situation.

"Send Chief Higurashi over there and call him and that woman as well." The policewoman gave the order calmly. The badge on her chest was that of inspector, but she dared to speak directly to a superintendent, and her attitude was as matter-of-fact.

"I only believe in seeing."

　The district prosecutor is still popular, I can talk to him, and I can also love the big man!
