Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 64, Legendary new forensic pathologist Uesugi!
Uesugi Sosetsu and Shima Kawana Ren exchanged contact information, and the fiancé wiped away a few crocodile tears. I don’t know how much of what he said, “If I had known that Hironaka Mariko was so kind and gentle, I would have lived a good life with her,” is true.

But from Aizen Myōō's perspective, her fiancé was sad because of his fiancée's death, at least at that moment.

Shimagawa Ren probably didn't know that he had just walked around the gates of hell.

Part of the resentment of his deceased fiancée also entangled him, until she realized from her fiancé's attitude that he had nothing to do with the matter and was sad about his own death, and only then did the curse stop spreading.

[He's a nice guy.] Hironaka Mariko commented.

[Among the men in Minato, he is considered to have a conscience.] Uesugi Sosetsu agreed.

[Wow, the port boy and the noble man just get one, just like the Echigoya and the Edo magistrate, there are many dirty deals between them.] Hironaka Mariko said disdainfully: [The honey cakes in the snack box are all made of gold, right?]

Uesugi Sosetsu smiled foolishly when he heard this.

This is a famous joke in Japanese culture. It says that during the Edo period, when local samurai were looking for jobs in Edo, they would often give Echigo-ya cakes to the shogunate's deputies and elder officials. There were two ways to bribe at this time. One was to hide a box of cakes filled with gold koban and mazesaka silver, and the second was to simply give very expensive cakes as gifts.

Yes, in the Edo period, sugar was still a very expensive commodity. The value of a snack box filled with sugar alone was not inferior to gold and silver. The high-quality yokan and honey cake produced by Echigoya were themselves very valuable, even more expensive than gold. This alone was enough to be given as a gift.

Understand that Japan is poor in resources.

The Edo Shogunate condoned and even encouraged this behavior, which is why it appears in various TV dramas and games. A big merchant named Echigoya presented a snack box to a shogunate official, who smiled evilly and said, "Boss Echigoya, you are really bad."

"No, no, how can I compare with adults?" Then the two of them winked and laughed, indicating that the bribery was completed.

Uesugi Sosetsu dared to say that if he told this joke to Ikeda Erena, the other party would definitely not understand what it meant.

[So, Fukushima Sosaburo and Shimagawa Ren have been dealt with, what about President Kameyama? ] Uesugi Sosetsu asked: [In fact, from a hindsight perspective, Kameyama is the biggest beneficiary and the source of everything. ]

[Kameyama? He is indeed a very special guy.] Hironaka Mariko did not seem to have any more emotions towards this president: [This big toad, you input what he wants, women, ratings, performance, he can spit out resources, hosting positions, and named programs without hesitation.]

[You can input sudden death, dereliction of duty, mistakes and omissions, and he can also spit out suspension, demotion, and dismissal without hesitation. ]

[He has no personal likes or dislikes, and no emotional fluctuations. This old toad is quite a man of his words. I promised to accompany him for a period of time, and he really gave me a news anchor position. He is more honest than those directors and executive directors in the station.]

The female anchor commented on the Fuji TV director without any scruples.

[Your fiancé, Mr. Shimagawa, will be sad to hear this! ] Uesugi Sosetsu complained.

[Come on, my future husband obviously has several girlfriends in Ginza.] Hironaka Mariko sneered: [How about you kill him and let him accompany me?]

[What ghost marriage?] Uesugi Sosetsu was speechless: [Murder is against the law, especially since Shima River has nothing to do with your death.]

[Don't talk about the law with the dead. The law cannot punish us, so the law is our menu.] Mariko Hironaka struggled for most of the night, and her resentment was much relieved. After getting a series of answers, she finally stopped her activities temporarily.
It seems that she has no intention of taking revenge on President Kameyama.

But President Kameyama was actually the mastermind behind this incident and the biggest beneficiary, although he probably did not expect that Hironaka Mariko would tell Fukushima Sosaburo that he planned to dismiss all temporary employees.

By the time Uesugi Sosetsu and Shima Kawana Ren finished their conversation and returned to the lobby of Fuji TV, it was almost three in the morning.

At this time, the entire Fuji TV station and the Metropolitan Police Department were basically deserted, except for a small number of police officers left at the scene to deal with the final situation. Even the criminals had been taken away by the Metropolitan Police Department.

All the senior executives of Fuji TV were present, and they were extremely excited, discussing various topics. President Kameyama was also there. When the president of Fuji TV saw Uesugi Muneyuki, he shook his hand tightly as if he had seen his own father. "Uesugi-kun! You are really a benefactor of our Fuji TV!"

A number of Fuji TV executives nearby also gathered around to express their gratitude.

For some reason, whenever Uesugi Sosetsu saw President Kameyama's face, he always felt that he looked more like a toad, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that this guy was the actual mastermind behind the scenes.

But Mariko Hironaka had no thoughts of revenge, so there was no need for him to interfere.

"It's just my job." Uesugi Sosetsu forced a smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Fuji TV and talking about some meaningless topics, and promising to come to Fuji TV again to record a special program (President Kameyama emphasized that he would definitely invite Senior Mai again), Uesugi Sosetsu found Ikeda Erena who was waiting for him.

The tall beauty was already drowsy at this time. Seeing Uesugi Sosetsu coming, she perked up and complained, "Why did you take so long? What were you doing?"

"Anyway, something happened, and then, it finally ended." Uesugi Sosetsu took the initiative to reach out and pull up the tall beauty sitting on the seat: "Are you ready to become famous? Master Erina?"

"what?"

Although the Metropolitan Police Department had completely withdrawn, Inspector Hayata of the Akasaka Police Station remained and prepared a vehicle to send Uesugi Soyuki and Ikeda Erena home. Because of their contributions, the Metropolitan Police Department also specifically informed them that each of them would receive three days of paid leave.

Uesugi Sosetsu naturally had no reason to disagree, and Ikeda Erena naturally accepted the thought of having a holiday with Uesugi Sosetsu.

The Odaiba buildings finally fell silent at night. The stars in the distance witnessed the turbulent waves of this night, and also witnessed the return to silence of this night. Only the starlight remained unchanged.

The stars were aligned, but the huge waves surrounding the building closure incident have not yet stopped.

After returning to his apartment, Uesugi Sosetsu ran a hot bath for himself while picking up his cell phone.

There was a text message on the phone, sent by senior Mai Shirakawa.

"The president is pushing me so hard that I can't do anything. I'll leave now. Junior, I look forward to our next cooperation O(∩_∩)O~"

The message was sent at around 1:00 a.m.

Uesugi Sosetsu felt something was strange. He vaguely remembered that before Hironaka Mariko suggested staying, Senior Mai seemed to be still there, but when he went out to chat with Shimagawa, Senior Mai left.

If she wants to leave, she should leave after finishing her hosting duties as a live broadcaster.

If you consider that she has stayed for more than two hours after the show, this little time wouldn't be a big deal. At least she could say goodbye, right?
However, Uesugi Sosetsu did not think much about it. He knew his own situation and he was not worthy of having an equal conversation with Senior Mai at the moment.

It's time to think about what to do next.

After this incident, there has been a breakthrough in the relationship between himself and the Metropolitan Police Department. Because he acted first and reported later, the Metropolitan Police Department not only had to acknowledge his achievements, but also had to complete the official cooperation procedures for him.

The man closed his eyes while soaking in hot water, looking at the patterns on the tiles on the wall and feeling the mist drifting past his ears. When the value you show far exceeds your troubles, a small problem can be tolerated.

This is where the stupid woman Ikeda is stupid.

Thinking of Erena Ikeda, Uesugi Sosetsu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

Yes, Shimagawa is right, we are essentially the same kind of people.

The woman, Erena Ikeda, is a little too "heavy" and is not an ideal marriage partner at all. If she is very proactive, Uesugi Sosetsu doesn't mind something happening, but if he wants to seriously consider dating, Uesugi Sosetsu will definitely not consider dating Erena Ikeda with the premise of marriage.

It's troublesome to touch a female civil servant!
Therefore, in his relationship with Ikeda, Uesugi Sosetsu has always been very restrained, trying his best to keep the two parties in a working relationship, and in private he also tried his best to keep the two parties in a master-disciple and friend relationship. Occasional physical contact is inevitable, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

Uesugi Sosetsu also said in advance that one should not substitute work into life, and one should not substitute life into work.

If the two of them were to date, how would they maintain their current partner relationship? Uesugi Sosetsu had no idea. Erena was a very stubborn person, and unfortunately, Uesugi Sosetsu herself had a rather stubborn temper. The reason they could get along with each other was because of mutual concessions. Uesugi Sosetsu knew how to tolerate, comfort and please her, and Erena also controlled her temper time and time again and taught him kung fu.

But if you are really dating, it will be different. Two people who want to transform into a romantic relationship have to enter into each other's private lives. That scene is like a collision between Mars and the Earth.

Get out of the way, it's going to explode!

It would be a lie to say that Uesugi Sosetsu had no interest in this tall, sunny, yet clumsy beauty.

let it go!
Uesugi Sosetsu thought that in the future he would definitely shift the focus of his career to the Metropolitan Police Department.

It is possible that Erina Ikeda will be transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department, but it is unlikely that the Metropolitan Police Department will transfer Erina Ikeda.

The man vaguely guessed that while he was thinking about the relationship between the two, Ikeda Erena was also thinking about what happened between her and Uesugi Sosetsu today.

Compared to Uesugi Sosetsu's high-end student apartment, the ordinary apartment where Ikeda Erena lives is much cheaper and simpler. Not only are the facilities outdated, but the bathroom in the house is also very small and there is no bathtub, so one can only take a shower.

As soon as she returned to the house, Ikeda Erena couldn't wait to take off the black stockings on her legs and turn on the water heater.

Damn, ever since I met Uesugi Sosetsu, there seem to be more and more stockings at home! She obviously hates wearing stockings!
Ikeda Erina casually threw two pairs of stockings into the stolen clothes basket, untied the belt of her police uniform while cursing, took off her jacket and hung it on the hanger, then reached out to unbutton her shirt.

"doom~" The moment the second button was unbuttoned, a fullness popped out, as if a prisoner who had been suppressed for a long time finally got a moment of relief. The joy of pressure release filled Erina's nerves, making her feel shy and annoyed.

She instinctively recalled what happened at that time.

Uesugi hugged her.

When she thought of that scene, Ikeda Erena almost instinctively grabbed the untied bra and threw it into the trash can with such force that the trash can shook back and forth!
This bastard! He keeps taking advantage of me!
I tolerated criticism of me, I tolerated weird things said about me, I tolerated being laughed at, I tolerated being peeked at, and even when asked to wear stockings, I wore them!
In the end, this bastard actually took action directly? !
And also...

Damn Uesugi! Damn partner! Do you know that if you were someone else, I would have broken his kidneys and liver and fractured his spine!
Don't underestimate me! Ikeda Erina waved her fist fiercely in the dark, fighting with the air.

After venting her anger, the tall beauty fell silent again.

Recalling the situation again, she seemed to have to admit that if Uesugi Sosetsu hadn't held her, things would have been troublesome if she had really punched him.

Moreover, when she recalled the scene at that time, a streak of crimson slowly spread along her neck towards her face. Her pretty face and miraculous and magnificent figure were gradually dyed with blush, and the tall beauty made several movements with a strange expression on her face.

Is this where he rubbed the back of his hand? Or here?
“Hmm…” After trying to explore herself for a while, Ikeda Erena’s face turned even redder.

She hesitated for a long time, then slowly bent down again, picked up the bra from the trash can, took a deep breath, and solemnly warned the air: "I'll spare you this time!"

After saying that, she threw the bra into the washing machine.

Erina reconciled with herself, and her mood came out of the haze. Covering her chest with her hands, she recalled the whole day and felt that she had never had such an ups and downs and wonderful experience in her life, especially having the opportunity to show her judo skills in front of Uesugi Sosetsu and the Metropolitan Police Department.

Thinking of this, Ikeda Erina immediately took out her cell phone and tried to search for information about Fuji TV Live Broadcasting on the Internet.

Did you take a picture of me tonight?
A bright smile returned to Ikeda Erena's face when she saw the front-page headline.

"The truth behind the Fuji TV closure incident is revealed! Legendary new forensic pathologist Sosetsu Uesugi testifies on the scene!"

"Missing female anchor Mariko Hironaka confirmed dead! The body is hidden here?"

《The Metropolitan Police Department announced that it will hold a press conference tomorrow to demonstrate the entire process of the case》

"Fuji TV Live Broadcasting's highest ratings reached 46.8%, is the Red and White Songs Contest no longer secure?"

"The decision to broadcast the show live as a murder case has sparked controversy, experts give this comment"

"The beautiful policewoman shows off her legendary judo skills, Arashiyama, and helps the Metropolitan Police Department catch the criminal!"

Ikeda Erena kept flipping through the pages and soon found a picture with her own image in it. Just flipping through it, she saw thousands of comments below.

Only then did she understand how huge the impact of the closure of the Odaiba building was, and what Uesugi Sosetsu really meant when he told her to be ready to become famous.

Especially since a judo master had come out in the middle of the night to share his experience, the internet was filled with amazement as to how could such a master be hidden in the Metropolitan Police Department?

For the first time, people shifted their attention from her figure, chest, and mixed-race face to her abilities.

Flowers may bloom again, but people will never be young again. Gold will shine everywhere.

After watching the end, Ikeda pressed the phone against his chest. He didn't know when the scenery in front of him became blurry.

That night, she had no desire to sleep and kept reading various news until dawn.

　After the Fuji TV case is over, there will be a short lull before the next case.
