Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 475, Nango Yui, the newly appointed acting head of the Special Missions Division!
"The deceased, Hiroshi Imasaki, 36 years old, was an operations staff member of YKC48, responsible for the operations of the 15th generation members, and was a senior operations staff member."

After Inspector Sho Shiratori of the Second Division of the First Investigation Section requested backup from the Metropolitan Police Department, the detectives at the scene confirmed the identities of the three deceased.

"The deceased, Sugawara Riko, 17 years old, was a member of the 15th generation of YKC48 and a classmate of Yamaguchi Maho, who was attacked last night."

"The deceased was Nakai Rika, 18 years old, a member of the 15th generation of YKC48, as above."

"According to the apartment manager, Imazaki returned to the apartment around 8 p.m. last night and did not leave again. The surveillance footage confirmed this. The other two members are unclear. It is very likely that they entered the apartment through the underground parking garage, the small fire door at the back, or the garbage room passage. However, based on the situation at the scene, it can be confirmed that they arrived at the apartment sometime after Imazaki Hiroshi returned to the apartment."

"According to the preliminary judgment of the forensic department, all three victims showed signs of congestion in their genitals and had consumed a large amount of alcohol. A large quantity of alcoholic beverages, anesthetics, and unused Viagra were found at the scene, leading to the preliminary conclusion that the poisoning was caused by a combination of drugs."

Inspector Shiratori Sho of the First Investigation Division looked at the three people lying dead on the bed with a complicated expression, wondering what was going on.
The manager of a national girl idol group and her female idols were having a party at home while taking medication, which resulted in three deaths.
Why does this seem so strange?

And how could these three guys die at the same time? One had a stroke, that's one thing, but two? Three? Did they drink together, take drugs together, and die suddenly together?
Inspector Shiratori Sho had a feeling that something was off about this case, and he himself felt a chill run down his spine.

He didn't want to get involved in such a complicated case, but now that things had come to this, he had nothing more to say.

"Inspector, what should we do? This looks like an accidental death," the subordinate patrol chief said.

"Whether it was an accident or not is not for me to decide, nor for you to decide." After thinking for a moment, Shiratori Sho said to his subordinates, "Protect the scene and request backup from headquarters immediately. These are three lives at stake, and since it involves the national female idol group YKC48 and a scandal between management and members, we must handle this with extreme caution!"

"Report the current intelligence to this office, request the prosecutor's office to conduct a forensic autopsy to see if there is any possibility of homicide, and whether it is necessary to establish a special investigation headquarters!"

"Yes!!!"

........................

Meanwhile, a little earlier, at the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters in Sakuradamon, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

Chief Detective Uchimura sat on his ministerial throne, carefully blowing on his hot tea, wearily relaxing his nerves.

The Metropolitan Police Department had just finished handling the Okada Inspector case and transferred the suspect, Ryuji Kurosaki, to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. Considering Kurosaki's crimes, his appalling act of framing a public official, and the extremely negative social impact, the District Public Prosecutors Office decided to indict Kurosaki on charges of the death penalty.

At the same time, the Metropolitan Police Department officially announced to the public that it was withdrawing all charges and arrest warrants against Masayoshi Okada, acknowledging that the initial judgment was incorrect due to insufficient on-site investigation, which had been corrected and contact had been made with Okada himself. They asked for everyone's forgiveness and emphasized the roles played by Inspector Jin Kashiwagi and Chief Inspector Muneyuki Uesugi in the case.

Considering the immense physical and mental trauma Okada Masayoshi suffered in this incident, the Criminal Investigation Department granted him three months of sick leave and recuperation leave, instructing him not to rush, to slowly heal and recover, and to return to his post once he was fully recovered.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police Department again questioned Masayoshi Okada about whether he was interested in becoming a Superintendent General in the Department of Civil Safety and Security, or being transferred to the Police University as a Superintendent Instructor.

Okada Masayoshi rejected the request to be transferred again, which made countless people who were secretly plotting against him grit their teeth.

This guy is occupying the crucial position of Special Missions Department Head, blocking our way!
If you don't leave, how can we get in?
It was after Okada Masayoshi refused to be transferred again that an undercurrent began to form. Many forces started to openly or covertly suggest that, based on the performance of the Special Missions Division in recent years, it might be worthwhile to upgrade the Special Missions Division to the Special Missions Section, upgrade and expand the department, and better leverage the role of Chief Uesugi.

Just as Minister Uchimura was about to close his eyes and take a nap, Councilor Nakazono entered from outside: "Minister, Minister!"

"What is it?" Minister Uchimura asked impatiently.

"A new employee has come to complete their onboarding procedures," the counselor said in a low voice.

"Oh, so what?" Minister Uchimura said with his eyes closed, sitting motionless in his chair.

“It’s the professional group!” the advisor from the central garden then reminded him.

"So what if he's in the professional group? What's the big deal? Aren't we both in the professional group too?" When Minister Uchimura heard that it was the professional group, he finally opened his eyes. He said lazily, "Since he's in the professional group, then you go. Nakazono, take him to the Criminal Investigation Department and introduce the newcomer."

"Minister!!!" Seeing Minister Uchimura's relaxed state, the councilor anxiously reminded him, "It's that one!"

"Which one?"

"That guy! He's the son of Managing Director Nango of Mitsubishi UFJ Bank. His mother is Yui Nango, a top lawyer at Mori-Hamada Matsumoto Law Firm and a graduate of the Faculty of Law at Kyoto University. He's 25 years old and officially started working today. He was specifically requested by Director Watanabe to join the Special Mission Unit!"

Upon hearing the name Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, Minister Uchimura instantly sprang from his seat, his face contorted with offended anger as he hissed, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Huh???" The advisor thought to himself, "Has the minister lost his mind?"
"Nakazono! What do you take our Metropolitan Police Department for? Just because he's the son of the managing director of Mitsubishi UFJ and a professional student at Kyoto University, does that mean we have to treat him differently? Are you kidding me!"

"Our Metropolitan Police Department treats everyone equally, every new recruit, whether they are in the professional, semi-professional, or non-professional teams. To us, they are all subordinates who deserve our care. I don't care if they are from Tokyo University, Kyoto University, or some correspondence night school in Shikoku. Fairness, impartiality, and transparency are the tenets of our police organization!"

After speaking, Minister Uchimura straightened his coat, took out a comb and brushed his hair, then gestured for Councilor Nakazono to lead the way: "Let's go." "Minister?"

"Where is Nango-kun? I want to personally take him to report to the Special Missions Division!" Department Chief Uchimura said very seriously, straightening his back: "Our Criminal Investigation Department wants to make every newcomer feel the warmth of home, and it starts with me, the department chief!"

A sense of admiration arose spontaneously in the advisor of the Central Garden.

Minister, you truly deserve to be called minister!

Around 9 a.m., the Special Missions Division began to become active. At this time, all kinds of cases and support requests from all over Tokyo were being sent to the Special Missions Division. Miss Minami, sitting on the management seat, was responsible for reviewing them and deciding which cases were worth sending Uesugi Muneyuki to assist with, which cases required consulting his personal opinion, and which cases were worthless and did not need to trouble Uesugi Muneyuki.

From a certain perspective, Minami controls the crime-solving KPIs of the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Government. She has become someone that the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and even the entire Metropolitan Police Department, needs to curry favor with. The police organization, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, and other forces that might need Uesugi Muneyuki's abilities all know very well that if you want to see Uesugi, you must first get past Minami.

So although the work is not easy, our Miss Minami becomes more and more energetic and loves it more and more as she does it. Her lovely apple face and sweet almond eyes are full of energy, her back is straight, and her eyes are shining!

Just then, several uninvited guests arrived at the Special Missions Division.

"Knock knock~" Criminal Investigation Department Chief Kanji Uchimura arrived at the Special Missions Division with a counselor and a young man.

"Gentlemen, please pause for a moment," Minister Uchimura said solemnly to the crowd. "I would like to introduce a newcomer to you."

"This is Inspector Nango Yui, who officially joins the Special Missions Division of the First Investigation Section of the Criminal Investigation Department today. Starting today, he will temporarily serve as the acting head of the Special Missions Division, replacing Chief Okada. Please welcome him!"

Everyone in the Special Missions Division focused their attention on the young man standing behind Minister Uchimura.

This is a young man who is about 175 cm tall, with a slender and well-proportioned figure. He is wearing a well-tailored, expensive but understated suit, his hair is neatly combed, and he wears simple yet exquisite frameless or gold-rimmed glasses. His eyes are sharp and calm, and he looks at people with a sense of scrutiny. He has a noble and gentle demeanor, and a slight smile on his face.

"Hello everyone, I am Yui Nango. I graduated from the Faculty of Law at Kyoto University. Starting today, I will serve as the acting head of the Special Missions Department. I am very honored to work with the renowned members of the Special Missions Department. Please take good care of me."

"Welcome, Acting Section Chief Nango! Welcome, please guide me!" Miss Minami said with a smile.

Igarashi Hayato, Date Chomune, and Kai Toru quickly stood up. They had heard of Nango's name before, and now that he had officially joined the company, they could immediately sense that he was from a completely different world than them!

Although we are all second-generation, there are differences among second-generation individuals!
The other party is a distinguished professional elite, a graduate of the Faculty of Law of Kyoto University, who became a police inspector as soon as he entered the department, a position that is almost the only one that 95% of non-professionals can achieve.

"Haha, your Special Missions Division has gained another excellent general. Then, I won't bother you any longer, Manager Watanabe. Please help Nango-kun familiarize himself with the environment and understand how your Special Missions Division operates." Department Head Uchimura said with a smile, his face beaming with friendliness and warmth.

"Thank you, Minister Uchimura. I am not very capable, and I am deeply humbled by your personal guidance. I hope you will continue to teach me in the future." Nango Yui thanked the Minister of Criminal Investigation in a very polite manner.

"Oh, no, no." After confirming that Nango Yui had remembered his appearance and name, Minister Uchimura left satisfied.

After Minister Uchimura left, Yui Nango introduced herself to everyone while recalling her father's words.

"Yui, that's all I can do. The rest is up to you. Do your best so that Uesugi and the entire Special Missions Unit can get to know you, understand you, and trust you again. Become an integral part of the Special Missions Unit, and become his good colleague, good helper, and good friend!"

"Yes, Father, Mother!"

Thinking of this, Nanxiang let out a long sigh, his chest surging with emotion that was hard to contain.

He finally arrived at the side of Uesugi Muneyuki, the shortcut to heaven and earth.

This is an opportunity, a golden opportunity! A precious opportunity that a father has secured for himself by leveraging his extensive network of connections!
With Chief Okada injured and on leave, I was parachuted into the Special Missions Division as acting chief! I gained the opportunity to work directly with the legendary forensic pathologist, Uesugi Muneyuki, for a mutually beneficial collaboration!
Although he was not very familiar with the people in the Special Missions Division, and although he was parachuted in without any connections, Nango Yui firmly believed that as long as he followed Uesugi Muneyuki closely, was willing to put in the effort, and learned more and worked on a few cases together, he would soon be able to win everyone's trust and secure a place for himself in the Special Missions Division, this elite department where every inch of land was precious!
Soaring to great heights is just around the corner!
Watch me!

"Um... where are Chief Inspector Uesugi and Inspector Ikeda?" As expected, Nango instinctively wanted to greet Uesugi Muneyuki, but found that he was not in the Special Missions Division.

“Oh, Uesugi-san encountered an idol being attacked by extremist fans last night. Our people just caught those two extremist fans and they're being interrogated in the interrogation room right now. Uesugi-san and Ikeda-san are over there,” Date Nagamune said, shrugging helplessly. “To be honest, I don’t know why, but it seems like there are slightly more cases involving Uesugi-san than others.”

"Oh? Is that so?" Nango Yui became interested: "Excuse me, may I go and take a look? I want to meet Uesugi-san and also see his skills."

“Sure, then… Kai, you take Section Chief Nango with you.” Miss Minami nodded with a smile.

"Yes, Commander... Section Chief Nango, please come with me!"
