Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 45: Gamblers are not allowed to stay in the house
The curry pork cutlet rice at the Metropolitan Police Department was indeed delicious, and with the eel that Erina shared with him, Uesugi Sosetsu ate it with great relish.

His concentration was completely focused on eating, and he didn't notice at all that Erina and the beautiful woman in police uniform fifteen meters away were staring at him.

Wishing you to enjoy your meal is better than anything else in the world.

Ikeda Erena withdrew her attention from the beautiful woman in police uniform and watched Uesugi Sosetsu eating her eel so happily. A deep sense of satisfaction suddenly flashed through the tall beauty's mind.

Ever since the two of them formed a deeper relationship, Erina couldn't help her greed. She wanted more, to know more about him, to explore his secrets and talents.

It was Erina's pleasure to occasionally test him to see how he would react, and to try to test him from time to time to see what he would do.

However, Uesugi Sosetsu is a really stubborn person. Erena doesn't know whether Uesugi Sosetsu is conservative, dull or just too capable. Every time Erena tests her, she is either resolved by him or suppressed by his pure IQ, and in the end she needs him to help her out.

But Ikeda Erena doesn't care that she is the one who fails every time. She feels at ease - who asked you to ask me for something? Who asked you to like to secretly watch me?
Who made us partners?

Deliberately putting the eel from her own bowl into this guy's bowl was a test for Erina, and she was very satisfied with the reaction of Uesugi Sosetsu who ate it without hesitation.

Satisfied, the tall beauty couldn't help but reveal a bright smile on her pretty face.

If you ask me next time, it’s okay for me to wear the police uniform for you alone.

It depends on whether you dare to speak up.

"It seems that these two people get along very well." Not far away, the arrogant and casual police uniform beauty showed a teasing look on her face: "It seems that there is no problem with this arrangement. If he can get along well with Ikeda, he will naturally get along well with other people in the Metropolitan Police Department."

This beauty in police uniform is still as enviable as ever. Although she does not have a miraculous model figure like Erina, her figure is well-proportioned, delicate and curvy. Her long black hair that falls to her ears is beautiful, and her sweet almond eyes are slightly narrowed.

"He doesn't seem to be arrogant because of his talent, but considering his upbringing, it's reasonable." Inspector Yanagi nodded. The inspector was about forty years old, with a pair of eyes with a lot of white, small pupils, and a mean and vicious face. "Judging from their appearance, they probably haven't slept with each other."

"...A vigilant man." The beauty in police uniform wanted to say something, but suddenly she found that Erina was looking at her.

The eyes of the two policewomen met invisibly.

Ikeda Erina widened her eyes, with a hint of vigilance in her indifference and doubt.

The expression of the beauty in police uniform was as natural as ever, without revealing any flaws, and she even greeted him with a half-smile.

The strange sixth sense between women is extremely sensitive. The moment they look at each other, a strange echo reverberates in each other's minds, and they seem to understand something.

The beauty in police uniform smiled faintly and waved with a calm and composed look.

Ikeda Erena was not to be outdone. She raised her slender swan neck with a little pride, like a mother wolf protecting her food, and quietly moved to block the gap between Uesugi Sosetsu and the policewoman.

Ha ha.

The beauty in police uniform ignored the gunpowder smell from Ikeda Erena and quickly looked away.

No matter who takes the turn, it will never be your turn.

idiot.

After the meal, Inspector Higurashi of the Investigation Division 1 arrived with several other officers from the Investigation Division 1 checkpoint and said, "Uesugi-kun, could you come with us?"

"What's the matter?" Uesugi Sosetsu nodded, thinking, is this a life?
"There's a case in the Minato Ward. It's said that there was a fall from a building at a construction site. A construction worker fell to his death. We're about to leave now. The Forensic Science Department is dealing with a body dumping case in Tokyo Bay. You happen to be in the Metropolitan Police Department. Can you come with us?" Inspector Higurashi said politely, "Of course. We'll contact the Otsuka Police Station and the hospital. The remuneration will be based on the standard."

"Of course!" Uesugi Sosetsu naturally had no reason to refuse. He was eager for the Metropolitan Police Department to come to him to perform an autopsy.

"Then let's take action now." Inspector Higurashi indicated that we could set off now.

Several black Toyota cars drove out of the Metropolitan Police Department. In the cars, a patrol captain was driving, and Inspector Higurashi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was explaining the case to Uesugi Sosetsu in the back seat.

"The deceased, Matsunose Koufu, 28, a worker at a housing construction company, fell to his death from the top floor of the construction company this morning."

"Falling to death?" Uesugi Sosetsu remained calm, "Why would a case of this magnitude involve the Investigation Division?"

He has been doing autopsy work at the police station for several months. Generally speaking, if it is not a homicide or a serious crime, the local police station will handle it on their own and will not bother the Metropolitan Police Department to go out in person.

"Yes, Inspector Hayata of the Akasaka Police Station in Minato Ward had already taken over the case, but during the investigation, a death message was found at the scene in Akasaka."

"Before his death, Matsunose Koufu wrote 'The housing president killed me' on the wall of the top floor of the construction company, so the local police station suspected that this was a murder and reported it to the Investigation Division." Inspector Higurashi said helplessly: "Section Chief Mikasa asked me to go and take a look, and I thought you would be there too."

Falling to death, but leaving behind a death message before death?
Uesugi Sosetsu thought it was interesting.

Next to him, Ikeda Erena's eyes also lit up.

You can see Uesugi Sosetsu performing an autopsy on the spot again!

When the First Investigation Team arrived at the scene, it had already been cordoned off by the local police station. In front of several strips of yellow tape, a row of policemen stood with their hands behind their backs isolating the crowd, and half of the street was filled with parked police cars.

"Thank you for your hard work!" As Inspector Higurashi got out of the car, he was immediately greeted by a man in a suit in his forties. Uesugi Sosetsu thought that this should be Inspector Hayata of Akasaka Police Station. He saw the inspector first arrogantly scolding his subordinates not to disrupt the scene, with his head held high and his face anxious. But when the car of the Investigation Section stopped, his expression immediately changed and he trotted over with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your hard work." The suited elites of the Investigation Division 1 naturally had no good face for the local branch. Inspector Higurashi opened the car door for Uesugi Sosetsu: "Thank you for your trouble, Uesugi-kun."

"Oh? Is this the Uesugi Sosetsu? The one from Tokyo Medical and Dental University?" Upon hearing this name, Inspector Hayata of the Akasaka Police Station in Minato Ward's eyes lit up.

"Yes, that's him. Our Section One specially called him here this time." Inspector Higurashi introduced Uesugi Souyuki, "This is Hayata, the acting head of the Criminal Division of Akasaka Police Station."

Akasaka Police Station is the largest police station in Minato Ward, and its chief is at the rank of Superintendent.

"nice to meet you."

"Please give me your guidance." Uesugi Sosetsu gestured, "If possible, let's get started."

"this way please."

The housing construction company is located near Akasaka in Minato Ward. The building is not tall, with only six floors. The company's president is named Daiken Fusako. It is a family business, so the company's name is called the Housing Construction Company.

With such a big incident happening in the company, the president had naturally rushed to the scene. Due to the death message left by the deceased, the president had become the number one suspect. Two police officers from the police station stayed by his side. He shook his head vigorously, wanting to cry but without tears: "It wasn't me, it really wasn't me, I didn't kill anyone!"

"Don't quibble, President Housing. According to our investigation, you owed the deceased a month's salary, and someone saw you arguing with the deceased. You said you didn't kill him, so why don't you show us the evidence?" The police from the Akasaka Police Station surrounded the president fiercely, "Admit it now!"

"It really wasn't me. I don't know why he fell from the building!" The president shook his head vigorously.

"Then why are you working overtime here when the company is closed today? Why didn't the deceased write anyone else's name but yours? Come on, come out!"

The detectives from Akasaka Police Station put a lot of pressure on the president, but President Housing just shook his head vigorously. He was about to cry.

Here, Inspector Hayata was also describing the situation: "According to the investigation, the company had just finished a project, and the president gave everyone three days off. From that morning until the time of the crime, there was no one in the company. After checking the surveillance cameras, only the president and the deceased entered the company building. And according to the investigation, the housing construction company owed the workers one to three months of wages, which may be the motive for the murder."

"I didn't, I didn't!" The housing company president screamed miserably, "It's normal to delay wages when the project payment is not settled. I will naturally pay the wages when the money arrives! I swear to Tosho Dai Gongen that I really didn't kill anyone!"

Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and Inspector Higurashi and Inspector Hayata set their sights on Uesugi Sosetsu.

Uesugi Sosetsu didn't say much, he immediately started the autopsy.

The deceased died in a miserable way. He fell from a high altitude, suffered multiple fractures in his lower limbs, and lay on his back on the ground. His head and face were still intact, and he smelled like he had not been bathed for a long time. Since he had been dead for a short time, there was no sign of decay for the time being. Only some of the bodies had developed rigor mortis.

Well, the lower limbs land first.

Uesugi Munsetsu easily determined the cause of death: death from massive internal bleeding caused by multiple sternum and rib fractures resulting from the fall.

Glancing up, Uesugi Sosetsu noticed that there was a guardrail on the top floor of the sixth floor.

Raising his right hand, the power of the azurite was activated, and Uesugi Sosetsu tried to communicate with the dead.

"It was suicide." Just five minutes later, Uesugi Sosetsu stood up with a strange expression and a look of contempt on his face, and said to Inspectors Higurashi and Hayata very affirmatively.

"what?"

"What?" "Suicide?"

The crime scene fell silent after hearing Uesugi Sosetsu's judgment.

The suited elites from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division had question marks on their faces.

Five minutes? Autopsy? Confirmed suicide?

"Uesugi-kun?"

"It was suicide." Uesugi Sosetsu repeated.

The police officers at Akasaka Police Station finally reacted, and the leading Inspector Hayata swore that this was the widest he had ever opened his mouth.

"Uesugi-san, I'm not questioning your ability, but..."

"It was suicide."

"But the dead left a message of death..."

"That's suicide too."

"??????"

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Uesugi Sosetsu repeated, "It's suicide."

Who is this?
Sure enough, with Uesugi Sosetsu's confirmation, the local police station was in a state of confusion, and some detectives even showed a look of suspicion on their faces.

No autopsy, no examination, no on-site inspection, no interrogation, no visit, they just looked around the body and then said it was suicide?

Who is this!
Is this guy reliable?
"Let me explain it briefly." Uesugi Munenyuki motioned for everyone to listen to him first: "There are three possibilities for death from falling from a high altitude: suicide, homicide, and accidental death."

"In the case of accidental death, it usually happens when a worker is working with part of his body sticking out of the air and loses balance and falls. In most cases, the upper body sticks out. It is possible that the lower body sticks out and falls, but it is very rare, and the deceased did not call for help." Uesugi Munen raised his first finger first: "This is not a construction site, so let's rule out the possibility of accidental death first."

There is no doubt about this.

"Then we say he killed someone." Uesugi Sosetsu raised his second finger: "The situation of murder is quite special. First of all, there should be a guardrail on the top floor of the company, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, there is a guardrail! A guardrail of 1.3 meters! It reaches my chest!" The housing president screamed and shouted: "I swear, I swear to Suwa Daimyojin!"

"There is a guardrail upstairs. Inspectors, think about it. If it was a homicide, first, the president would have to lure the deceased into the building and lure him next to the guardrail. Then, he would have to push a strong construction worker over the 1.3-meter guardrail and down the stairs." Uesugi Munen smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the fact that the president doesn't have the ability to do that. Even if he really did that, what would happen?"

"Traces of a fight?" Inspector Higurashi seemed thoughtful.

"No, it was the way he fell from the building." Uesugi Munen shook his head: "In order to get over the guardrail, the president either laid the deceased horizontally or pushed him straight. In short, no matter which one, the result is the same."

"The deceased will die with his head on the ground."

"But the deceased's lower body hit the ground first." Uesugi Muneyuki pointed at the body on the ground: "This is the most typical case of suicide by jumping from a building. Generally speaking, suicide by jumping from a building is done with the back to the building and the feet jumping down. Of course, there are also people who are afraid of heights and will face the building. In any case, the deceased died in a typical standing position, with the feet touching the ground first, and then the pelvis sitting on the ground, and then the body leaning back and falling on its back, so this is suicide."

Uesugi Munsetsu said with absolute certainty: "If we perform an autopsy, we can find out the order of the deceased's fractures."

"But... homicide could also be caused by the victim jumping at attention!" Ikeda Erina couldn't help herself, and the tall beauty took the initiative to ask: "Why do you conclude that jumping at attention is suicide?"

"Of course, it's possible that the murderer jumped from the building in an upright position, but that's difficult, really difficult." Uesugi Muneyuki rolled his eyes calmly and continued to explain, "First, if there is a guardrail, if the deceased is conscious, he will struggle. As long as he struggles, it is impossible for him to jump from the building in an upright position. He must have landed on his head or hands. Secondly, if the deceased is not conscious, he may be thrown from the building in an upright position, but in this case, the deceased's muscles are relaxed, and the falling posture will change in the air, so it is impossible for him to land in an upright position."

"So, this is suicide," Uesugi Sosetsu concluded.

That's it!
The police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department and Akasaka Police Station suddenly realized what was going on.

In this case, everything makes sense.

But there is one last question.

Inspector Hayata asked, "What about the death message? The deceased wrote on the wall that the president killed him."

"This is evidence of suicide." Uesugi Munen shook his head. "If it was really murder, the deceased would not have left such a death message. But... if you insist on saying so, it is not wrong. The president is indeed one of the important reasons that forced the deceased to commit suicide."

"Huh?" When Inspector Higurashi and Inspector Hayata heard what Uesugi Sosetsu said, they turned their dangerous gazes back to the president of the housing company.

"Ah???" President Fangzhuo had been smiling broadly when he heard Uesugi Muneyuki's analysis, but the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and he was so scared that his legs went weak and he was about to fall down: "It's not me, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, Mr. Forensic Doctor!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the deceased should be a gambler, right?" Uesugi Munenyuki indicated that he knew you were anxious, but don't worry. He pointed at the body and said, "For a corpse, rigor mortis should first occur in the part where the muscles are most tired. As a construction worker, the most rigid part of the deceased's body is not his back, arms or legs, but his index finger."

"What kind of person would use his fingers like Parkinson's disease?"

Everyone at the scene fell into deep thought.

"Pachinko! Marbles?!" Inspector Higurashi reacted the fastest.

"That's right. If I'm right, President, this Matsunose employee is arguing with you about his salary, right?" Uesugi Muneyuki said with a smile, "Just ask the deceased's friends, check his personal accounts and nearby pachinko parlors, and all the facts will be clear."

"Got it!" Inspector Hayata of the Akasaka Police Station immediately shouted to his subordinates, "Go check it out, now!"

"Yes!"

The suit brigade immediately took action.

Within twenty minutes, as expected, the police station learned from the deceased's coworkers and friends that the deceased was an old gambler. He spent all his wages on pachinko and paid monthly installments, leaving him with nothing. His personal financial situation was already heavily in debt.

Later, the police station investigated the pachinko parlor where the deceased had spent money and learned that he had spent more than 300,000 yen the night before. He was crying in front of the store and was seen by passers-by.

From then on, the chain of evidence was complete.

As information came in from all directions, everyone looked at Uesugi Sosetsu differently.

The president of the housing company finally sat down on the ground and started crying.

I am innocent!

Five minutes, just five minutes.

At a glance, there was no autopsy, it was determined to be homicide-suicide, the cause of death was determined, and the reason for suicide was determined.

Who is this?!

"We understand what you said, Uesugi-kun, but why would the deceased leave such a death message when he committed suicide?" Inspector Hayata expressed his final doubts.

"Because of one month's salary." Uesugi Sosetsu blinked.

"what?"

"Because the president owed him a month's salary, which was the last chance for a gambler to turn the tables. But the president of Fangzi defaulted on his salary, and the deceased chose to commit suicide out of desperation. He hated the president for owing him money, so he deliberately left this message." Uesugi Munen said naturally, "Even if it was suicide, the deceased wanted to disgust the president of Fangzi."

When the police officers at the scene heard what Uesugi Sosetsu said, they all showed contemptuous expressions on their faces.

"I......" the president was even more furious: "I (Inazuma swearing), fuck him (Inazuma swearing), this (swearing)."

From then on, the case was over. Uesugi Sosetsu raised his right hand, and the soul of the deceased flowed into the azurite.

House House, what a nice name.

Gamblers are not allowed to house.

　There are really many strange Japanese surnames, and some of them are quite humorous, haha.
