Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 563, A Tsunami of Public Opinion!
P.S.: Some group members said it's been a long time since we've had a long chapter that combines two parts, which everyone loves. Now that this climax is over, I'll give everyone a small treat today: a 4400-word medium-length chapter that combines two parts. Hehe, it'll also give me a break.

Another great victory.

This was yet another operation that saved the entire Japanese police force.

Once again, he single-handedly turned the tide.

The moment Uesugi Muneyuki left the forest with Osumikawa Minoru, the cheers of dozens of news vans and media vehicles outside the forest almost drowned out the sounds of hundreds of police officers and the roar of helicopters overhead!

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police Department proudly announced, "After precise location tracking, a large-scale search, and difficult negotiations personally led by Chief Inspector Uesugi, the main perpetrator of the bombing has decided to surrender!"

The reporters were in an uproar, and TV reporters and anchors all swarmed around them.

Could you elaborate on the details?

"Is this guy the mastermind behind the bombing? Why did he resort to terrorist attacks?"

"How did the police confirm that this person was the mastermind behind the bombing? He looks to be over sixty years old; did he have the capacity to commit the crime? What evidence is there? Were there any accomplices who assisted him?"

"How did Chief Uesugi persuade him to surrender? What exactly happened in the forest? And how did the police locate his hiding place?"

Even a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police Department was completely baffled by this situation.

you ask me?
The location was chosen by Chief Uesugi, and the negotiations were conducted by Chief Uesugi himself. You're asking me?

I also want to know what happened!

In the crowd, Minoru Ōsumikawa, his hands cuffed, moved step by step through the encirclement of six SATs. Suddenly, he looked up at Muneyuki Uesugi and said, "Hey, Uesugi-san, are you... are you sure this is okay?"

"What?" Uesugi Muneyuki, who was next to him, was momentarily stunned and was thinking about what to do next.

All the secrets are contained within this old man.

"I mean, even if it hadn't happened... once things come to light, as the person directly involved, you'd definitely be under immense pressure." Osumikawa Minoru's expression was grim. He suddenly said, "I... I'm sorry, I... My previous company was the same. Before this happened, the president and the others told me to treat the company like my own home. But... when I encountered these problems and sought help from the company, the president was furious and said to me, 'You really treat the company like your own home?' Then he fired me. Although he gave me 3N in compensation, but... will you be alright?"

“You don’t need to worry about me.” Uesugi Muneyuki sighed. “I naturally have ways to retaliate without fear of reprisal. Don’t forget, I am a descendant of Kenshin and a direct PhD student at Tokyo University.”

"Heh, that's true. Then I'll just ignore you." Minoru Ōsumikawa sneered. "Anyway, I'm going to die soon. After I die, it's none of my business."

Yes, this kid is actually from a prestigious family. I don't need to pity him. I gave him such a great achievement, so he should bear the consequences. As for me, I'm about to die, and only God knows what will happen next!

I'm going to take full advantage of you this time, Uesugi-san!
Uesugi Muneyuki also sensed Ōsumikawa Minoru's emotions towards him; his expression remained unchanged, but his eyes shone brightly.

Death? There's no escaping death! Death is also a matter of time!
Rather, your death marks the beginning of everything!
I'll make good use of you this time, Ōsumikawa!
The old man and the young man exchanged a brief glance, both sensing the apology and relief in each other's eyes.

Indeed, death is the end of all hatred and entanglement, the Showa-era engineer thought.

"Behold my transcendence of the fear of death, my soul relentlessly pursued in the underworld," thought Dr. Sakikawa Todai.

At that moment, reporters swarmed in from outside. Uesugi Muneyuki glanced at his plain and unassuming Rolex watch and said to the police officer leading the team, "Give him two minutes to give an interview."

“Accept an interview? But…” A police inspector glanced at Ōsumikawa with a look full of distrust, his expression hesitant.

“These are the terms we agreed upon,” Uesugi Muneyuki emphasized.

"Alright, then, only two minutes!" Although Inspector Ichijo was from the Public Security Bureau, he had no choice but to submit to Uesugi Muneyuki's intimidating power.

"Quickly, you have two minutes. Remember our promise, don't call out names directly," Uesugi Muneyuki then instructed.

"I have something to say!" So, the Showa-era engineer immediately seized the opportunity and loudly proclaimed into the extended microphone and camera: "My name is Minoru Ōsumikawa, 62 years old, a former engineer at Showa Chemical, and a graduate of Tokyo Institute of Technology! Yes, I did it, but it's all because of Rina!"

"Rina Osumikawa, my daughter, went through a lot of suffering in her life. In the end, she suffered a mental breakdown and came to the Forest of Trees to end her life. I had no choice, I had no other option. If I hadn't been left with nowhere else to turn, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"I am willing to take responsibility for everything I have done, but I swear that everything I have done is to give myself and my daughter a chance, a chance that I have risked my life for!"

"It's a pity that if I had met the Special Missions Unit and Uesugi-san earlier, none of this might have happened. I am sorry for what I did, so I accepted Uesugi-san's advice and I am turning myself in here today. I will tell the Metropolitan Police Department and Uesugi-san everything I know!"

"above!"

After saying all this, the Showa-era engineer was put into an armored vehicle, leaving behind only the reporters who were gasping in shock and discussing the matter frantically.

Although no names were directly named, and no details of what happened were explained, everyone had a vague feeling about it.

The fact that Shota Akimoto spiraled into the sky is definitely related to Osumigawa's daughter!

absolute!

After Osumigawa was put into the armored vehicle, Inspector Higurashi and Inspector Ichijo, who were in charge of the operation on site, breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you all for your hard work! On behalf of all the police and the entire nation, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all those who are fighting on the front lines!"

"Hey! Hey! Oh!" At the edge of the forest, hundreds of police officers, braving the scorching sun and the summer winds of Yamanashi Prefecture, erupted in deafening cheers.

It's said to be very hard, but it's actually not that hard!
The incident of Shota Akimoto spiraling into the sky only happened three days ago!
In these three days, one day a bomb exploded and the Special Investigation Headquarters was formed, leading Uesugi Muneyuki to deduce that the bomb had been planted in advance; another day all the resources in the country were mobilized and the hiding place was confirmed through scientific means; and then today, eight hundred police officers rushed to the forest and successfully arrested the suspect!
This is Chief Uesugi's speed, this is Chief Uesugi's efficiency! And hard work leads to solving cases, and investigations have a clear direction—this is the kind of case-solving method that countless police officers dream of!
What often dampens the morale of the police is finding nothing after searching for a needle in a haystack with no clues or leads. But as long as Uesugi is here, none of that will happen!

Working on cases alongside Chief Uesugi is truly something else! Countless police officers, especially local prefectural police, looked at the Special Missions Unit members with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

So, this is how these people have always handled cases?

Damn, so envious!

Are you still short-staffed in your Special Missions Department?

I can demote myself one rank and become the patrol chief in your Special Missions Unit!
Meanwhile, the police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department who had come from the headquarters stood proudly with their chests puffed out.

This is our Uesugi! He's so incredibly talented! Do you have any Uesugi like this?

Now, your local county police know who's in charge, huh?

Too lame!

"Alright, everyone, fall back!!!"

"Hey!"

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

One and a half hours after the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department successfully arrested the main suspect in the bombing case involving the foreign minister's son, major Japanese television news studios and online media platforms.

Although the Metropolitan Police Department's official press conference used cautious wording, keywords such as "precise targeting," "large-scale scientific search," "difficult negotiations," and "mastermind's capture" were enough to make the media buzz.

When Ōsumigawa's brief but information-rich two-minute "statement" was disclosed through limited but crucial channels, the entire Japanese press was as if a depth charge had been dropped, stirring up a massive wave of reactions.

The NHK anchor's expression was grave, his tone filled with unprecedented shock: "Tonight, the shocking series of bombings in Minato Ward that gripped the nation has been solved. The Metropolitan Police Department mobilized its strongest force in history and successfully arrested the main culprit, Minoru Ōsumikawa, in the Aokigahara Forest at the foot of Mount Fuji."

This operation demonstrated the Metropolitan Police Department's absolute strength in the application of cutting-edge technology (such as Dr. Uesugi's trace evidence tracing), large-scale collaborative operations, and precise crisis negotiation (once again relying on Dr. Uesugi's extraordinary courage and wisdom), marking a new milestone in the history of Japanese law enforcement.

In recent years, numerous major and heinous crimes have occurred, but the Metropolitan Police Department and Dr. Uesugi's active performance proves that they have consistently withstood the test of the public!

The scene shifts to expert commentary, with former National Police Agency Commissioner Tsuruo Kaneko remarking, "From defusing the bomb at the scene to locating the forest, and finally persuading the suspect to abandon the suicide attack, Dr. Muneyuki Uesugi's scientific insight and composure were indispensable core elements of this operation."

The report then shifted to Ōsumikawa's statement: "However, behind the case lies a father's tragedy. The suspect, Ōsumikawa, claims that his daughter suffered a mental breakdown due to 'intense misfortune' and ultimately committed suicide in the forest, shattering the family. Although he did not name her directly, the implications of his accusations have already attracted significant attention. This case is not only about the law, but also profoundly reveals the dark side of social injustice and the abuse of power."

"The Metropolitan Police Department is currently conducting further interrogations of Ōsumikawa, and our journalists will also continue to investigate and uncover information about him!"

TBS television's headline was even more direct: "A Triumph of Science and Will! The Metropolitan Police Department's 'Operation Tree Sea' Concludes Perfectly, with a Genius Forensic Pathologist Making Another Miraculous Achievement!"

The report was full of dramatic flair: "This is a modern-day 'hunt for the killer'! The Metropolitan Police Department, like a precise clock, guided by the 'living legend' Dr. Uesugi Muneyuki, gleaned information from microscopic dust and pollen, striking right at the heart of the matter! At the last moment, it was Dr. Uesugi again, the 'strongest shield' symbolizing the Metropolitan Police Department's last line of defense, who, with extraordinary courage, stepped into the blast radius and persuaded the desperate criminal strapped with explosives to surrender! This is the ultimate combination of wisdom and courage!"

Regarding Ōsumigawa, the host said in a somber tone: "When we listen to the criminal's confession, what we hear is the cry of a soul driven to despair. His accusations, though vague, are like a dull knife, cutting open the festering sores beneath the glamorous surface of society. 'Powerful and privileged,' 'cover-up,' and 'injustice' are burning wildly on the internet."

Fuji Television focused its coverage on Uesugi Muneyuki personally, while frantically rebroadcasting and emphasizing the "God's Hand" program. "A national hero! Wisdom and responsibility in the new era!" the anchor lavished praise. "In this perilous moment, we see a figure beyond the ordinary—Uesugi Muneyuki! He is not only a mind that solves the mystery, but also a warrior who faces danger head-on! He proves that true power comes from the combination of knowledge and conscience!"

At the same time, they also delved into the background of Osumikawa: "Our reporters have quickly followed up and preliminarily verified the identity of Osumikawa Minoru as a former chemical engineer, as well as the tragic fact that his daughter Rina did indeed commit suicide in the forest several years ago."

All of this provides disturbing evidence for their accusations. The truth seems far darker than we imagined.

Asahi TV, being a channel for senior citizens, focuses more on social reflection: "The Metropolitan Police Department deserves the highest praise for its efficient and professional action in eliminating the immediate physical threat."

However, Minoru Ōsumikawa's "revenge" is by no means an isolated incident. It serves as a bloody allegory, a stark warning: when individuals' grievances cannot be redressed through normal channels, when power is seen as a get-out-of-jail-free card, what terrible monsters will society breed? This case should not end with the arrest of one person; it must trigger a nationwide critique of judicial fairness and the oversight of power!

TV Tokyo: "Large-scale apartment building rental contracts in Ota Ward expire, and the management office's proposed rent increase has sparked strong protests. Tenants at the scene said that all the money they earn from part-time jobs goes to rent and taxes. On average, a dual-income family in Tokyo has to work for 12-15 years to buy a standard 70-square-meter two-bedroom apartment! Going to jail is the only way out for young people in Japan!"

Regarding the soaring rice prices, the current Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries stated that he is seriously reflecting on the situation and directly responded to accusations that "he doesn't seem to be reflecting at all": "I sincerely accept the criticism from the outside world. The problem is indeed with me. Although I have seriously reflected on it, I will deeply reflect on the fact that others cannot see that I am seriously reflecting on it!"

Online media and social platforms:
It completely exploded.

#Metropolitan Police Department's Great Victory#
#Uesugi Muneyuki is a true male god#
#Petition for a thorough investigation into the bombing incident#

Various clickbait articles are circulating wildly:

More outrageous than a TV drama! A real-life legendary forensic pathologist subdues a bomb-wielding maniac! Three days to rule the world!

The whole country was in uproar.

The public's emotions oscillated violently between two extremes: on the one hand, they were thrilled by the Metropolitan Police Department, especially Uesugi Muneyuki's heroic performance, and felt a sense of security and pride; on the other hand, they were shocked by Ōsumigawa's vague yet powerful accusations and felt immense anger and disappointment at the potential corruption within the power structure.

The Metropolitan Police Department won a perfect tactical victory and garnered a flood of praise. But the seed of "doubt" and "injustice" planted by Minoru Ōsumikawa had already been sown across the entire country by the media storm.

But a far more brutal trial by public opinion and a political storm targeting Foreign Minister Shinichiro Akimoto and his family has only just begun.

At that moment, Foreign Minister Shinichiro Akimoto was in his official residence, his face ashen as he looked at the overwhelming praise for the Metropolitan Police Department on the screen and the undercurrent of doubts.

In the end what happened?
The secretary is dead, the driver is dead, and the son is dead!
He knows nothing! Because everyone who knew is dead!
This is awesome!
