Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 66: Unprecedented Uesugi fever

When Uesugi Sosetsu was a child until his first year of high school, he lived in the Uesugi Kaikan in Bunkyo Ward. After his second year of high school, he rented a house in Gunma for a while. After he was admitted to the Tokyo Medical and Dental University, his family happened to have a student apartment near the university. It was originally bought for his brother Uesugi Sadanori to live in. It was perfect for his younger brother to move in after his older brother.

The Yonezawa Uesugi family has long lost its former glory, but relying on the ties with the "Uesugi Kenshin" culture and the blessing of the scholarly family of past generations, as well as the existing family business of the feudal clan, they still left behind a lot of real estate after taking root in Bunkyo Ward. My grandfather earned a lot of money as a professor at the University of Tokyo, and my father, as the president of the Keio University Alumni Association and the director of the Cultural Exchange Center, also accumulated a rich family business, so the Uesugi family has many houses in Bunkyo Ward.

In history, the nobility could be roughly divided into five categories, namely, the nobility of the imperial palace, the nobility of the former court nobles, the nobility of the Tokugawa shogunate, the nobility of the feudal lords, and the nobility of the new meritorious service. Among them, the nobility of the imperial palace, the nobility of the former court nobles, and the nobility of the new meritorious service were all smashed under the iron fist of Emperor Go-ho Mai, and most of them lived a very miserable life.

Needless to say, except for the imperial family and the old court nobles, this group of people started to serve as mascots about a thousand years ago. Not to mention after the war, even after only 20 to 30 years after the Meiji Restoration, this type of noble family had already begun to experience large-scale bankruptcy.

The New Meritorious Nobles were used to reward those who had made contributions to the Meiji Restoration, but these titles were rarely hereditary. Moreover, the New Meritorious Nobles of the Taisho and Showa eras were more or less "war criminals", and they also had a miserable life after being beaten to pieces by the Five-Star Emperor Mai's iron fist. It can only be said that their status was slightly better than the first two.

The ones who were really living relatively well were the Tokugawa shogunate nobility and a part of the feudal nobility. The two dukes of the Tokugawa family are still relatively prominent, and the other marquisates are also very powerful. Although many of the feudal nobility have fallen on hard times, a small number of them are still living well thanks to their savings and knowledge. For example, the head of the Kanazawa Maeda family is currently the Director-General of the Imperial Household Agency, the head of the Hitachi Satake family has been serving as the Governor of Akita Prefecture, and the head of the Hosokawa family has served as Prime Minister.

Yukenori Uesugi has a tower (i.e. a high-end hotel-style apartment) in Bunkyo-ku, and the lease has just expired. The apartment is approximately 120 square meters, with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, two bathrooms and one en suite bathroom (toilets and bathrooms in Japan are separate). It's a perfect place for Sosetsu Uesugi to move in. After all, Sosetsu Uesugi is going to graduate in April next year, and it would be a bit awkward for him to still live in a student apartment.

But giving the house to Uesugi Muneyuki does not mean transferring the property. My father also made it clear that the house can be given to Uesugi Muneyuki to live in, and he can sign an agreement to enjoy permanent residency rights. The water, electricity, property and real estate taxes will also be paid by the family, but the property rights still belong to the main family. When Uesugi Muneyuki dies, the property will be returned to the main family.

I can live here until I die. This is the treatment my family gives me.

It would be a waste if I didn't live there. Uesugi Sosetsu's idea was very simple. If I could live here until I die, wouldn't that mean that the house is mine?
After I die, why should I care about the flood?
"Is that okay?" Uesugi Sosetsu quickly gave his father an accurate answer.

"Okay, then you can go and look at the house tomorrow, I'll take care of it today." After finishing his business, Uesugi Yuxian suddenly grinned and said, "You don't have to go to the hotel so often in the future! Xuesong, just be a little careful not to bring any strange women home!"

"Haha, father, you have thought it through very carefully." Uesugi Sosetsu sneered twice. It turned out to be the same as what he thought.

The same goes for my fiancée Shimagawa Ren. All of his pre-marriage property has been transferred to his parents' name. His living expenses are covered by the company and trust, and his future income has been transferred to the fund. He doesn't have any gold coins in his name that can be redeemed.

It can only be said that after several rounds of modernization, Japan's elite men have become highly wary of any possible marriage blackmail.

After hanging up the phone, Uesugi Sosetsu nodded in his heart. He was not surprised by the result, and was even a little surprised.

Renting an apartment in Tokyo is very expensive, so this is a way to save yourself money.

After finishing talking to his father, Uesugi Sosetsu continued to look through the missed calls.

Ikeda Erena... This woman doesn't sleep at night, right?

He naturally crossed out Ikeda's name and casually checked the two new names in the address book.

Mai Shirakawa and Minami Watanabe.

Uesugi Sosetsu gave them all "special attention".

No more, I can't bear it anymore!

I want Princess Connect now! After washing up, Uesugi Souyuki casually ate some bread and milk, and couldn't help but dial a phone call.

However, the other party said that he was attending classes and asked if it was possible in the evening.
Of course you can do it in the evening, but I want it now! Uesugi Sosetsu hung up the phone. The side effects of the two soul-death contracts made him a little out of control. He made several calls in a row, and finally someone from Niigata Prefecture who came to Tokyo to participate in the idol audition said he was free now.

set off!

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

Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital, small reception room in the medical building.

There were three layers of Makunouchi bento on the table. Several familiar professors from the department, led by Dean Ukai, were sitting together for a small gathering. On the large screen next to them was a public press conference held by the Metropolitan Police Department. The head of the Public Information Division of the Metropolitan Police Department was facing reporters from all over Tokyo, narrating the entire process from the Odaiba Building closure incident to the body hidden in the wall case, and would take questions from reporters afterwards.

"… Out of sympathy and kindness, Ms. Hironaka Mariko disclosed the decision of the station to the dispatched employee Fukushima Sozaburo. Fukushima Sozaburo could not accept this result and believed that Ms. Hironaka Mariko deliberately humiliated him, so he killed him in a fit of passion and hid the body inside the wall."

"Sosaburo Fukushima confessed to all the crimes, and the evidence collected at the scene was consistent with his description and the conclusion of the on-site autopsy forensic doctor Muneyuki Uesugi."

"On behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department, I would like to apologize to all the citizens who have been affected by the building closure incident." After saying this, the head of the Public Information Division of the Metropolitan Police Department stood up and bowed.

At the same time, Fuji TV President Kameyama, who was standing by, suppressed his ecstasy and stood up and bowed to the camera: "Red Bean Paste Private Marseille~"

There were bursts of surprise in the conference room.

The Fuji TV station's suspension of live broadcasts and the body-in-the-wall case caused an unprecedented social uproar. The next day, the newspaper headlines were all about the Fuji TV case. Netizens' discussions on the Internet were as long as several thousand floors. From NHK to the five major private TV stations to local TV stations, all of them temporarily changed their programs and took turns broadcasting news about the case.

Based on the average viewership of 5000% among the 35 million people in the Kanto region, at least 2000 million people watched Fuji TV's live broadcast.

Everyone was paying attention to the Metropolitan Police Department's press conference the next day.

But after the press conference was actually held, the public was shocked by the twists and turns of the truth behind the case, and they were even more infuriated to learn that Hironaka Mariko died simply because of such a ridiculous reason and because of her simple kindness.

Today was supposed to be her wedding day!

The Metropolitan Police Department described the case, Fuji TV explained the reasons, and finally, Mariko Hironaka's mother also attended the press conference.

The old woman said to the camera with tears in her eyes: "I will never see Mariko appear on the weather forecast again, I will never see her in a wedding dress again, I can only see my daughter in my dreams in the future... I hope her death will allow Fuji TV to provide a safer working environment for every staff member."

The old woman's speech also made everyone present sigh. In the meeting room, the table was filled with three layers of high-end bento. Dean Ukai picked up the king crab tempura with chopsticks and ate it slowly, yawning.

He was woken up from bed last night by a call from the Metropolitan Police Department, and the Metropolitan Police Department had to give up a huge amount of benefits in order to get the Minister of Medicine to sign.

"You've done a great job, Uesugi-kun. With this on-site autopsy, the reputation of our hospital will spread throughout the island." Dean Ukai said to Professor Ohkouchi behind him with a smile: "Teacher Ohkouchi, you have a good apprentice."

“…………” Professor Okochi frowned.

"Zaizen-kun, you have to learn something too. Once we encounter a difficult patient, the only thing we have to do is to comply with procedures, regulations, and standard textbooks to ensure safety afterwards. As for whether the disease can be cured or whether the patient can afford it, this is not within our consideration." Dean Ukai was bored and had to say to Professor Zaizen behind him: "The same logic applies to Miss Hironaka's case."

"When communicating with anyone, there is a communication cost issue. Some people can easily understand what you mean, while others cannot. The level of knowledge can only affect the communication cost to a certain extent. Some illiterate people can understand immediately, while some are already associate professors. For example, Mr. Satomi from the Department of Internal Medicine still doesn't understand no matter how many times I have told him." Dean Ukai advised earnestly: "What we should do now is to let them go through the compliance process. Don't be like Ms. Hironaka, who thought she was doing a good deed but ended up losing her life."

"Yes." Professor Zaizen nodded.

On the screen, reporters began to ask questions.

"May I ask why Mr. Uesugi Muneyuki, the forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy, did not attend this press conference?"

The Metropolitan Police Department had already prepared: "Mr. Uesugi has returned home to rest due to poor physical condition due to continuous work and staying up late."

In fact, the Metropolitan Police Department knew Uesugi Sosetsu's temper and was afraid that he would say something nonsense at the press conference, so they simply did not allow him to attend.

"May I ask Fuji TV, how will Fuji TV deal with this tragedy?"

President Kameyama laughed inwardly, thinking, this is a tragedy? This is obviously a great thing!
But the old man still pretended to be sad: "All the staff of this station will reflect deeply on this tragedy. In the future, this station will also be committed to providing a safer working environment for the staff... Because of this incident with the dispatched staff, this station will dismiss all the dispatched staff at once and recruit new ones later."

The Fuji TV executives nearby couldn't help but laugh: This old bitch has been wanting to do this for a long time, and this time he finally found the perfect excuse.

"Hello, I'm Matsui from the Asahi Shimbun. In this incident, why did the criminal immediately choose to believe Ms. Hironaka Mariko when she revealed this possibility?" another reporter came up to ask.

"Well, we don't know that either." President Kameyama's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a sad voice, "Perhaps in the eyes of the criminal, the victim is a regular member, so it's not surprising that he knows the inside information. The criminal's education level is not high, and he is irritable and irritable."

Fuji TV has kept its mouth shut and will never admit that Mariko Hironaka always gets some gossip from the top.

"Excuse me, Metropolitan Police Department, will we be able to see Mr. Uesugi Sosetsu perform an autopsy in the future?" The reporter from Weekly Bunshun was so excited that he seemed to have taken medicine. "Also, can you tell us more about the beautiful judo policewoman? Why didn't she show up either?"

"The Metropolitan Police Department has reached an official cooperation agreement with the Tokyo Medical and Dental University. You will definitely continue to see Mr. Uesugi appear at the scene in the future. He is now the official on-site consultant of the Forensic Science Division of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division."

"As for the beautiful female judo policewoman, she refused to be interviewed due to personal privacy, so it is not convenient to reveal her identity."

Weekly Bunshun did not get the answer it wanted, so it simply asked: "The hospital's preliminary diagnosis is that the criminal has multiple rib fractures, leg bone and spine fractures, and internal bleeding. Did the judo policewoman over-defend herself?"

"Regarding the issue of excessive self-defense, the Metropolitan Police Department has submitted it to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. After investigation by the prosecutors, it was confirmed that it was legitimate defense and that the murderer was holding a knife at the time and posed a danger, so the prosecutors will not file a lawsuit because of this." The attitude of the Metropolitan Police Department is very cold.

Although the Metropolitan Police Department does not like Ikeda Erina, it will fully support her in this matter.

Weekly Bunshun was very disappointed, but they no longer had the opportunity to ask questions.

"Will the Metropolitan Police Department consider conducting on-site searches in the form of live broadcasts in the future?"

"This... I can only say that we will consider it, but when it comes to searching for intelligence and personal privacy, we still have to respect the law in many cases."

“Why did the Metropolitan Police Department only start searching on Monday when the case was reported on Friday?”

"A missing adult case will not be filed within 24 hours. Considering the vacation time and police resources of the missing persons, it is reasonable to start the search on Monday. Of course, this department still wants to apologize for this incident."

"The Metropolitan Police Department has demonstrated unprecedented efficiency and decisiveness for our people this time. Do you have the confidence to continue to maintain this performance in the future?"

"Our Metropolitan Police Department always regards protecting the lives, property, and physical safety of all citizens as our top priority. Please look forward to our future performance!"

The press conference ended successfully and everyone praised the Metropolitan Police Department's performance this time.

"It's a great victory, Metropolitan Police Department." Dean Ukai smiled meaningfully, and then said to Professor Okochi behind him: "Since Uesugi-kun is so powerful, let him specialize in autopsies and be tied to the Metropolitan Police Department."

"He shouldn't ask about the things in the hospital anymore. As for the pathology matters... Mr. Ohkouchi, you should have other students to take care of them, right?"

"When he gets promoted to a medical major, we'll assign him a special department with one or two people to look after the dead." Dean Ukai shook his head. "Otherwise, with Uesugi-kun's personality and his habit of speaking his mind, it's hard to say when he'll get stabbed like Hironaka Mariko."

"That's fine." Professor Okochi agreed this time.

"Haha, you've become famous, Uesugi-kun!" A meaningful smile appeared on Dean Ukai's lips.

It seems that this guy is not a tengu, but a real genius!
Could you introduce him to some of my daughters who are in the medical field?

Wait, he seems to be the second son?
The wrinkles on the dean's head became denser.

Aren't the second sons of famous families always sold out?
　It’s so stressful to update twice a day.
