Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 56, Senior Mai, when did you come? (Second update!)

PS: This is the second update. The third update will be available in a while.

At ten o'clock in the evening, in an ordinary single-family house in Nerima District, Tokyo.

A middle-aged man was leaning on the tatami, watching TV intently.

This single-family house is relatively new, having been built after the millennium. Just as the Japanese like, even though the building area is not large, a special "Japanese-style room" area must be set aside and tatami installed to create an old-style Japanese environment.

Lao Deng looked very sloppy at home. There were a handful of edamame scattered on the table, and two bottles of Suntory beer. He drank while watching the special live broadcast on Fuji TV.

"Honey, get up for a moment!" The housewife with a pot-bellied waist and an apron held a vacuum cleaner in her hand.

"Oh!" Lao Deng was paralyzed on the tatami, unable to get up. Facing the oncoming vacuum cleaner, he incredibly twisted on the tatami with great flexibility, like a maggot. He managed to make enough space for the vacuum cleaner without getting up, allowing the housewife to vacuum the tatami.

"Really!" The housewife was speechless to her husband. She put her hands on her hips and put down the vacuum cleaner. "Naoki, look at them. They are working hard to investigate, while you are lying at home. Moriji, who was in the same period as you, is now a police inspector and even received the Superintendent General's Award. What about you? You were a police inspector ten years ago, and you are still like this ten years later? Can you be more motivated? When will you be promoted to police inspector?"

"Every time Mrs. Zengshan next door asks about this, I feel ashamed for you!" The housewife chattered non-stop, and she never stopped talking: "Shi is going to high school, and it costs a lot of money to go to cram school. We haven't paid off the mortgage on this house yet. When can you be promoted to a police captain?"

"There are still 12 years left on the mortgage for this house!"

"It's almost there, it's almost there!" muttered Tanaka Laodeng who was lying on the tatami.

"You said this eight years ago." The housewife looked indifferent.

"This time is different! This time is different!" Tanaka Laodeng felt that his dignity as the head of the family was challenged, so in order to show his status, he turned over fiercely on the tatami: "I'm serious, this time I have a good chance of being promoted to police captain!"

"You said the same thing three years ago." The housewife squinted her eyes.

"It's different. My excellent work ability has been recognized by the Metropolitan Police Department!" Tanaka Laodeng was a little exasperated: "Don't you even believe me?"

"You said this three months ago." Mrs. Tanaka still looked calm. "You said you got a reward from the Superintendent General and got several extra days of paid vacation. We had agreed to go to Shikoku for a few days, but you got punished again. You lost your paid vacation and your bonus was deducted by 800,000 yen. Is this the same?"

Tanaka Laodeng was so embarrassed by what his wife said that he simply ignored her.

Just at this moment, the situation on TV suddenly changed.

"Fuji TV, Fuji TV, we are reporting on the Odaiba building closure incident for everyone. The latest information is that the Metropolitan Police Department has found the whereabouts of our female anchor Hironaka Mariko!"

The Fuji TV station was very excited. Even though the cameras were blocked by the Metropolitan Police Department and could not capture the specific situation in the small room in the first time, the live broadcast still attracted everyone's attention.

What, found it?!

Mr. Tanaka's eyes widened, and even Mrs. Tanaka next to him subconsciously stopped her housework and watched TV.

"The head of the 13th Division of the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division 1, Tokyo Medical and Dental University's forensic doctor, Uesugi Sosetsu, has found the body of our anchor Hironaka Mariko!" The female anchor of Fuji TV excitedly spoke clearly to the camera: "The Metropolitan Police Department is currently conducting a preliminary autopsy and search. If there is any new discovery, we will inform everyone immediately!"

"Now let's interrupt for some information about Uesugi Munesetsu. Uesugi Munesetsu, 22 years old, is the descendant of Lord Uesugi Kenshin, the Dragon of Echigo..."

Tanaka Laodeng, who was watching TV, had his pupils dilated. He rolled over on the ground and immediately stood up, stunned.

Wait, why is Xiao Deng in Fuji TV? !

"Hey? Is this the Uesugi-kun you always talk about?" Mrs. Tanaka also became interested: "Wow, what a handsome guy."

"Yes, yes, that's him!" Tanaka Laodeng clenched his fists excitedly, as if showing off his collection: "Haven't I been telling you about him? Look, he's been invited to help out by this office!"

"That's true, but what does this have to do with you?" Mrs. Tanaka still looked at her sideways. After being married for twenty years, she really didn't like anything about her husband.

"Ah! Blind!" Tanaka Laodeng was about to go crazy, but he had to explain to his wife: "Don't forget, little brother Uesugi is a talent discovered by me, and this office also knows it. If little brother Uesugi is connected to this office, it is equivalent to me being connected to this office, which means he will be promoted soon, right?"

"Really?" Mrs. Tanaka finally believed it a little.

"Of course it's true." Tanaka Laodeng emphasized it several times, trying to convince his wife that he did have a chance to be promoted. Mrs. Tanaka, who had been sarcastic and weird, immediately smiled. Laodeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When he looked at TV again, he suddenly saw a most beautiful figure in the camera.

National actress, the treasure of Soul Agency, Mai Shirakawa?

"Shi! Shi!" Tanaka Laodeng quickly called his daughter, "Come and watch TV, there's your favorite Mai style!"

————I am the dividing line of Ma Yixiang Tianxia No. 1————

The second underground floor of Fuji TV soon became a restricted area, and special squad police officers wearing bulletproof vests and holding MP5 submachine guns guarded all the important roads.

The police carefully took the body of Ms. Mariko Hironaka out of the wall. At this time, the forensic personnel were still on the way, and Uesugi Sosetsu had already started the autopsy.

This was also what Uesugi Sosetsu had planned. He had to let the Metropolitan Police Department break down the wall so that he could perform the autopsy with the Metropolitan Police Department present.

Inspector Higurashi obviously understood the situation as well. He first scolded Uesugi Sosetsu and Ikeda Erena in front of everyone, saying that they should not run around everywhere, which was causing trouble for the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation. Then, after receiving an apology from Uesugi Sosetsu, Inspector Higurashi took the opportunity to ask Uesugi Sosetsu to conduct a superficial autopsy on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department.

So the illegal search turned into a legal autopsy, and Inspector Higurashi also explained to Fuji TV that Uesugi Sosetsu was an autopsy expert he had invited.

"The clavicle and frontal bone were fractured, and the cause of death was suffocation." Uesugi Muneyuki only took a few glances and immediately gave his own conclusion: "There were no signs of assault, and the time of death was estimated to be between Friday night and early morning. He must have been killed not long after he disappeared from the surveillance camera."

After saying this, Uesugi Sosetsu habitually strengthened his golden image of Aizen Myōo, greatly improving the appeal and persuasiveness of his language.

However, what he did not notice was that when he released the power of the other world, the national actress who was standing in the police team without being discovered by any policeman, as if invisible, opened her eyes wide.

The fair-skinned beauty's eyes were fixed on the golden statue above Uesugi Sosetsu's head with a look of horror on her face. After a little thought, she took out her mobile phone, quickly edited it, and immediately sent a message to her agent.

"Son of God, I need information about this person called Uesugi Sosetsu, and I need it now. The sooner the better, and the more the better!"

She continued to hide in the crowd. The special police officer holding an MP5 next to her was nervously watching the surroundings, but ignored Shirakawa Mai in front of them, as if she did not exist!
"The deceased had signs of struggling before her death, which means she had tried to resist. One of her high-heeled shoes was missing and was not found at the scene nearby. It is possible that it was taken away by the murderer."

Uesugi Sosetsu only took a few glances and gave a fairly complete judgment.

"Murderer? Mr. Uesugi, do you think this is a homicide?" Inspector Higurashi immediately noticed the key point in Uesugi Sosetsu's words.

"What else? If Ms. Hironaka wanted to commit suicide, there's no reason for her to choose a place like this." Uesugi Sosetsu complained, "Suicide victims, especially female suicide victims, often want to leave this world in a dignified manner. If they can't leave in a dignified manner, then a grand and spectacular one is fine. Who would want to stuff themselves inside a wall?"

"There are also female suicides who walk into the scenic area alone and disappear into the forest." Inspector Higurashi did not completely agree with Uesugi Sosetsu's point of view, but in any case, the discovery of the body made the inspector of Section 1, who advocated sealing the building, feel greatly relieved. He then noticed a key issue: "By the way, Uesugi, how on earth did you find this place? And how did you find the body hidden in the wall?"

"I smell it." Uesugi Sosetsu examined the surface of the corpse.

"what?"

"I was curious, and then I smelled the stench of a corpse." Uesugi Sosetsu said calmly, "I followed the stench of the corpse and found this place." "Are you a cadaver dog?" Inspector Higurashi was speechless by Uesugi Sosetsu's answer: "Is your nose so sensitive?"

Thinking that he could finally relax after working hard all day, Inspector Higurashi reached out and patted Uesugi Sosetsu on the shoulder: "Anyway, thank you, little brother Uesugi. If it weren't for you, we would have been searching for who knows how long. The entire Metropolitan Police Department thanks you."

"I want to thank you, too, Uesugi-kun."

As if suddenly appearing from thin air, a bright and beautiful face with a friendly smile, long black hair hanging down like a dark waterfall, narrow eyes, lonely and delicate, a white-skinned beauty like an ice lotus on the Tianchi Lake of Changbai Mountain appeared in the small room and also thanked Uesugi Sosetsu: "Nice to meet you, I am Shirakawa Mai from Soul Agency, thank you for your guidance."

"But maybe this isn't the first time we meet, Gunma Tokiwa High School junior?"

Her sudden appearance stunned Uesugi Sosetsu.

Mai-senpai?! When did you come?

At this moment, the entire small room seemed to suddenly realize the existence of Shirakawa Mai. Inspector Higurashi was still discussing the issue of the corpse with Uesugi Sosetsu, but when he saw her, he was surprised and angry: "Why are you here, Miss Shirakawa?"

Uesugi Sosetsu's senior Mai greeted politely, "I came here with President Kameyama and the others."

"This is a very dangerous place, Miss Shirakawa, could you please leave first?"

Mai Shirakawa is dignified and generous, with a bright smile. This woman seems to have magical powers. When she stands in the crowd, the surrounding scenery and faces automatically become blurred and dim. It seems that she is the only one left in the small room, and it is impossible to take your eyes off her.

The goddess on TV appeared in front of him and greeted him with a smile. Older ones like Inspector Higurashi were still okay, but those tough guys in their twenties and thirties from the Investigation Section 1 and the Special Investigation Team were all blushing, scratching their heads, and extremely nervous.

Inspector Higurashi noticed that two of his patrol captains, who were in their twenties, nervously raised their sleeves and sniffed. They had been working all day and were afraid that the bad smell on their bodies would bother her.

No, if this continues, the Hammers' attention will be...

"Once the preliminary autopsy is finished, we will go out and report what happened to Fuji TV." Inspector Higurashi sternly rebuked his subordinates for still working with his eyes: "Ms. Shirakawa, please come out with us now. This is a crime scene! No lingering!"

"Come out, come out!"

The door of the small room opened a crack, and outside there was a lot of noise and excitement among the crowd. Just as they were about to ask something, Shirakawa Mai, who was following behind Uesugi Sosetsu, instantly caught everyone's attention!
Shirakawa Mai, when did you come? !

Next, no one paid attention to what Inspector Higurashi said in front of the camera. The camera was aimed at the national goddess who was actively talking to Uesugi Sosetsu!
Shirakawa Mai smiled like a flower, and her bright and beautiful eyes carefully observed Uesugi Sosetsu's reaction. Seeing that he did not recognize her immediately, she reminded him softly, "I only went to Tokiwa Junior High School. Uesugi-kun, we are alumni! Don't you remember?"

Senior, do you know me?

Uesugi Sosetsu said in his heart.

Of course he knew Senior Mai, but in his impression, Senior Mai appeared in school no more than ten times throughout her senior year of high school, and she almost only appeared in important exams and activities. Uesugi Sosetsu had only seen her a few times from a distance.

How could such a senior sister Mai know me?

This is simply an unexpected surprise!

Uesugi Sosetsu met the gaze of senior Mai Shirakawa and nodded: "I transferred to Gunma Tokiwa Junior High School in my second year of high school. You were a third year student at that time. I only saw Shirakawa-san from a distance a few times. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect to meet someone from the same high school here." Senior Mai leaned forward slightly, and approached Uesugi Sosetsu little by little, passing Ikeda Erena and Inspector Higurashi. Her pretty face, filled with infinite miracles and light, was three parts smiling and seven parts serious: "Then can I call you Junior Brother?"

"Then...should I call you senior or senior?" Uesugi Sosetsu felt really strange. He never dreamed that his senior sister Mai would come up to him and recognize him and communicate with him.

A long-lost sense of excitement made his body excited, adrenaline was secreted crazily, and his usually calm expression was a little bit tense. This feeling was like when you were young and had a crush on a girl in your class for a long time, and then you accidentally found out that she also had a crush on you.

But there is still a doubt.

Senior sister, do you know that there is Uesugi among the horses?
How did she know me?

"Whatever you like." Senior Mai covered her mouth with her hands, a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes: "Since I call you junior, you can call me senior."

"Then...Senior Mai?" Uesugi Sosetsu accepted the proposal. He suppressed his excitement and called out carefully.

He secretly played a little trick and called Mai-senpai instead of Shirakawa-senpai.

"Little brother~" Shirakawa Mai smiled brightly and said playfully, "Do you still remember the snack shop next to the school? The one run by the white-haired old grandfather and grandmother?"

"Of course I remember. I think it was...Grandpa Konno and Grandma Konno?"

"Yes, yes, that's the one, the one on the corner. The croquettes and daifuku pancakes there are super delicious!" Shirakawa Mai also got excited: "And the Sankiya at the end of the street, the wild vegetable tempura is super~delicious~!"

"That restaurant only has set meals for lunch, no vegetable tempura, I've never eaten it once." Uesugi Sosetsu also responded casually: "It's only available at night, and it's very expensive!"

"Ha, then you missed out on the delicious food, it's okay, I'll take you there next time. Um, I don't know if the place is still open."

Right in front of the camera, Shirakawa Mai and Uesugi Sosetsu chatted without any scruples.

While they were chatting, the faces of the people around them were extremely interesting.

How did these two people start chatting?

Moreover, as a national goddess, Shirakawa Mai has almost no scandals and rarely has intimate interactions with men outside of official business. What is the purpose of having such intimate communication between a senior and a junior student in public?
More importantly, as a national goddess, I dare not say all of the police, special team and Fuji TV staff present, but at least nearly half of them have admiration for Shirakawa Mai.

What is this, live NTR?

No one cared about what Inspector Higurashi was saying anymore. Even the cameras were no longer pointed at him, and the microphones were instead hung on Uesugi and Shiraha's heads.

"It's too noisy!!!" Inspector Higurashi was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore. He yelled at the top of his voice, "If we're going to have a class reunion, both of you get out! You're running around everywhere instead of staying in the place we arranged for you. It's okay for little Uesugi, but can you take a look at what this place is? Is this a place for you to get involved with seniors and juniors?"

However, no one cared about the Metropolitan Police Department's attitude at all, and Fuji TV was instead very happy.

"President, Shirakawa-san is on the show, and the ratings have already exceeded 35%, and they're still rising!" The TV station's employees exclaimed in ecstasy, "If this continues, we'll surpass the Red and White Song Festival!"

"Good? Good, good!" President Kameyama clapped his hands in ecstasy!

“I’m the happiest today!”

"Ignore the Metropolitan Police Department, keep broadcasting it, broadcast it vigorously!"
