Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 532, Uesugi turned into a dried-up human body
P.S.: Happy National Day everyone! I'm hoping for a double monthly pass for the new month~ A new big case is coming soon~
The happy time on the Izu Peninsula came and went quickly, and the recording ended after two days.

The first day was haunted, and the second day was used to reshoot some talk shows and record business content about local tourism and customs. The close interaction at the Uesugi Shirama Fireworks Festival, which was originally planned to be filmed, was not filmed because the crew felt that everyone needed to see a psychologist. So, they went to Izuyama Shrine and had Mai Shirakawa, the head of the Kanto Shrine Alliance, perform a "purification ceremony".

Uesugi Muneyuki also played the role of an "exorcist," portraying himself as a forensic sage, an academic elite from Tokyo University, and a "descendant of Kenshin, an incarnation of Bishamonten." He angrily performed "Bishamonten descends to earth, demons and monsters begone!" The effect was quite amusing, especially since Hironaka Mariko, Miyahara Tetsu, and even Muraka Hana Jun, who were watching nearby, couldn't stop laughing. Some people even noticed Muraka Hana Jun mingling in the crowd and clapping along, creating another strange and eerie atmosphere.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mai-senpai led Asuka into the inner world of the Jōren Falls on the Izu Peninsula, and through a special ceremony, she fully activated Asuka's inner world power, although Uesugi Muneyuki did not witness the process.

The reason...

The following evening, on the train back to Tokyo, Uesugi Muneyuki leaned back in the passenger seat with his eyes rolled back, exhaling more air than inhaling from his nostrils, his eyes lifeless and sunken, with an expression that said, "I can't take it anymore."

Mai-senpai had a commercial to film in Izu, but she had just landed a new endorsement deal for Suntory 196% ABV sparkling wine, which required her to film with Haruka Ayase from Horipro, so she didn't join them. Similarly, Sakura Miyawaki also managed to get involved in Mai-senpai's shrine promotional activities and stayed in the area for the same reason.

Inside the car were only Ena Ikeda, Asuka Saito, and Muneyuki Uesugi. Ena Ikeda's face was flushed, and her joy was evident in the corners of her eyes and mouth. She was wearing a cool Cusco denim shirt paired with a rum suspender leather skirt, and her long, proud legs were not wearing stockings, but simply a pair of Roman-style high-heeled sandals. She was happily puffing out her chest and humming a song as she drove.

Meanwhile, Saito Asuka, sitting in the back seat, had changed into a mint jelly-patterned belted mini skirt, blue on top and white on the bottom. Her little cute bird head was tied into an even cuter bun, paired with a pair of milky white polka dot over-the-knee socks and loafers with a slight heel. She was as cute as candy, so sweet it was almost sour.

The girl was still adjusting to the power of the Otherworld she had just acquired, so only Erina and Uesugi Muneyuki were talking.

Seeing her boyfriend puffing out white smoke and looking like he was about to collapse, Erena was both annoyed and amused: "Muneyuki! We only did it three times yesterday, how did you become like this? Is being with me that tiring? Where's your usual enthusiasm?"

"Uh, 3 times...uh, I...Master, it's mainly because the filming activities were quite tiring." Uesugi Muneyuki's face turned green. He thought to himself, "It's not 3 times, it's 10 times!"

Last night, four women came to my room to play mahjong. After a round, Ikeda Erena won and also won Mai-senpai's reward. The tall beauty was naturally in a good mood. Then Asuka came, and the tall beauty asked Asuka to take her place. She took advantage of her winning privilege to take Uesugi to go for a bath in the sea. After bathing, the two of them did it three times.

But that wasn't the end of it! That very night, Mai-senpai took Asuka to awaken the power of the underworld. By the time they successfully awakened it, it was already past midnight. Mai-senpai secretly sneaked into the room, activated her invisibility ability, and, under the pretext of having consumed too much spiritual energy, squeezed Uesugi Muneyuki five times!

This is the most deadly!
Then the next day, when Uesugi Muneyuki was arranged by the crew to have lunch, Fuji TV's Tsutsumi announcer finally couldn't hold back anymore. She secretly called Uesugi Muneyuki out under the pretext of discussing the script and said pitifully, "Uesugi-san, you're so heartless. You haven't called me out for two months. I don't know when I'll get another chance after this episode is finished. Please have pity on me!"
Then the anchorwoman demonstrated her signature move—the standard Fuji TV female anchor outfit + the standard CL navy blue satin buckle high heels + French Cervintentation 15D nylon retro center-seam buttonhole non-elastic stockings.

So Uesugi Muneyuki and the news anchor Tsutsumi had two more romantic French duels.

Fortunately, the stamina of the anchorwoman Tsutsumi was far inferior to that of the tyrannical Erina, otherwise the invincible Uesugi would have really collapsed.

Of course, the most difficult to deal with is Mai-senpai. Not only is she physically strong, but she can also absorb a lot of Uesugi's spiritual energy!
Uesugi Muneyuki slumped in the passenger seat, vaguely seeing his grandfather in front of him.

Minami and Misaka are still the best!

I miss you, Minami, I miss you, Mikoto.

"Anyway, I won!" Erina said triumphantly. "Mahjong is so easy!"

"Simple my ass! You guys are all wrong with the number of rounds and points, and sometimes you even include ancient gacha. You also call out the saka gacha numbers randomly. I almost had a stroke watching you all like this." Uesugi Muneyuki couldn't help but complain weakly, "You should really have Shiratori-san's girlfriend teach you how to calculate rounds and points properly."

The girlfriend of Shiratori Sho, the head of the Second Division of the First Investigation Division, is named Okada Saka. She is in the entertainment industry and is a professional model and professional mahjong player.

However, there's gossip within the Metropolitan Police Department that the couple recently argued about who should do the housework.

Last night's mahjong battle was a real struggle. The girls were all amateurs, and they couldn't even figure out the points, rank, or yaku. They just randomly called out numbers and made random calculations. In the end, it turned out that Erina, one of the beginners, won. The tall beauty even managed to win with a riichi shinmoku, samana, samana, samana, samana, and samana, and a yakuman.

The newbie protection period is...

"I don't care, I won anyway." Erena said smugly. She had eaten her fill last night, in every sense of the word. Seeing Uesugi Muneyuki looking a little listless, the tall beauty's eyes were almost watering: "Muneyuki, which police uniform should I wear tonight? That Polish brown lace stockings with the suspenders... I'll wear it for you to see?"

"I can skip tonight, I have things to do, I have things to do..." Uesugi Muneyuki thought to himself, "Master, please let me go!"

Hmph~ When Erina saw that Uesugi didn't agree, she pouted and stopped talking to him, focusing on driving.

Saito Asuka, still sitting in the back seat with her lips pouting, swung her delicate white-stockinged legs, keenly observing the changes in Ikeda Erena's mood.

Yes, this is Asuka's ability in the Otherworld—reading the atmosphere. The girl is born with an extremely strong ability to read the atmosphere, and can quickly understand the surrounding environment and everyone's facial expressions and body language. After being enhanced by the Otherworld, Saito Asuka can clearly see the emotional changes hidden behind everyone's face.

For example, when discussing something, how willing is this person to participate? Is it a serious discussion or just something they're reluctant to do?
For example, when making a decision, does this person verbally agree or disagree?
Or, when eating, don't ask, the answer will always be "delicious," but do you really think it's delicious or not?
Saito Asuka can now see the blurry changes through the perspective of the other world.

For example, Erina Ikeda is in a particularly good mood right now, especially when she mentioned wearing her police uniform with Polish suspender stockings tonight. Asuka can sense that Erina is in a good mood right now.

goat.

The girl pouted, thinking that women are also lustful, they just don't show it.

Asuka has just awakened her "aura reading" ability and still needs to practice. The clarity of the changes will depend on how familiar she is with the person. For example, if it is someone she doesn't know at all, "aura reading" can only roughly tell whether the person's favorability is rising or falling, or whether they are vaguely in favor or against something. But if it is someone like Erena, whom Asuka knows very well, she can judge it clearly.

goat.

This woman's mind is filled with nothing but lust right now!

Hmph~ So you like Mr. Uesugi?

You're just lusting after his body! You're despicable!

Similarly, the girl's "aura observation" has another very important function: she can sense those like Uesugi Shirama who have the ability to see into the inner world.

Uesugi Muneyuki was extremely satisfied with Asuka's awakened abilities: non-combat abilities, intelligence attributes, and the ability to discern hidden opinions within their own ranks regarding a matter.

awesome!
Japanese people, or rather, people from the three East Asian countries, including Germany in Europe, are a very reserved and introverted species, especially in Japan, with the exception of people from Osaka.

There's a saying that Tokyoites are as ruthless as they seem. They're known for being aloof, disliking bothering others and being bothered themselves; everyone minds their own business.

Osaka people, on the other hand, have a devilish appearance but a Buddha-like heart. Kansai people are known for being nosy, loud, and expressive. They love to join in the fun and like to give advice to others. Their attitude is tough, ordinary yet confident, which can make people feel uncomfortable. But in reality, Osaka people are very warm and genuinely like to help others. Not to mention asking for help, if Osaka people see someone who may be in trouble, they will take the initiative to ask if they need help.

Kyoto, not far from Osaka, is another extreme.

People from Kyoto have the appearance of Buddha but the heart of a demon. Their tone is incredibly respectful, their attitude incredibly friendly, and their word choice incredibly precise. They will also be very kind and say, "Oh, you're from the countryside after all, we understand," when someone gets the history, location, or even direction wrong.

But what they were really thinking was quite self-evident and full of meaning.

Some shops in Kyoto even display signs at their entrances in four languages: English, Chinese, Korean, and French, saying "Sorry, we are full today," while the Japanese section reads "Open for business, please come in" in katakana.

Therefore, we should not personify countries. Customs vary from place to place. Even in a country like Japan, which is almost entirely of a single ethnicity (except for a very small number of Ainu people), there are still great differences between different places. Not to mention that the differences are even greater when it comes to specific individuals. There are very enthusiastic people in Kyoto and very indifferent people in Osaka.

This world is so interesting!
And so, Uesugi Muneyuki and his group returned to Tokyo.

Following closely behind Uesugi Muneyuki as he returned to Tokyo were firsthand materials from the program "God's Hand".

When news reached Fuji Television President Chihiro Kameyama and FNS Production Director Kazuhiko Abiru that the recording of the Izu special of "God's Hand" had completely spiraled out of control and the director was on the verge of a mental breakdown, Fuji Television President Chihiro Kameyama and FNS Production Director Kazuhiko Abiru were initially furious.

"Baka! Who gave them permission to provoke Mai Shirakawa?! Do you think you can just mess with that woman's background?!" President Kameyama roared in his office, expecting to face the overwhelming wrath and huge demands for compensation from the Kanto Shrine Alliance.

However, when the technical department nervously presented the "problematic" recordings, the situation took a 180-degree turn.

The chaotic footage from surveillance cameras, backup cameras, and even some staff members' personal recorders revealed images that defied explanation.

"This, this is???"
