Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 68, Sakata Bridge's New Home

PS: I will definitely keep my word, and the extra chapter will be posted on New Year's Day. I will not go home or go out to play on New Year's Day. I will just stay at home and write hard to give back to my readers who support me!

"We can extract maternal DNA from mitochondria, and theoretically, there is enough maternal DNA from mitochondria to date back to 6500 years ago."

Uesugi Sosetsu was giving a lesson to Reina on the sofa. This was what they had agreed before. Reina would teach him Kung Fu, and he would teach Reina criminal investigation techniques.

"6500 years is beyond the scope of modern criminal investigation. This means that everyone, male or female, has the same mitochondrial DNA as their mother, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, etc. The difference is that mothers can pass on their mitochondria to their offspring, while men do not have this ability."

"In contrast, the human nuclear DNA is completely different. The mother may have the same mitochondrial DNA as the aunt, but because the nuclear DNA is different, it is actually difficult to determine the relationship between the two. However, based on this, as long as the DNA of their father, mother and aunt can be obtained, it can be easily identified based on this."

"Based on this, in a parent-child relationship, half-siblings can use a large amount of overlapping DNA and different mitochondrial DNA to determine whether one of them is an illegitimate child." Uesugi Munen continued: "Although it may be impossible to know the specific identity of the illegitimate child's biological mother, as long as it reaches this step, it is already very strong evidence... Master Erina, are you listening?"

"Ah? Ah! Sorry, sorry!" Ikeda Erena was stunned for a moment, then realized that Uesugi Sosetsu was calling her. She shuddered and quickly said that she was listening: "I was distracted."

You are distracted. Are you falling asleep?

Uesugi Sosetsu couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The two had nothing to do early in the morning, so Uesugi Sosetsu fried some eggs and bacon to make breakfast sandwiches. He and Erina ate a few bites, and then took the opportunity to talk about some knowledge about criminal investigation.

I don’t know if it was because Erina got up too early and had blood running down her cheeks after eating, or because she was not good at studying, but after listening to what Uesugi Sosetsu said, the tall beauty fell drowsy.

Facing Uesugi Sosetsu's contemptuous eyes, Erina was keenly aware of the man's emotions. Her pretty face suddenly turned red, even her ears were covered in the delicate crimson. She lowered her head embarrassedly.

She was never good at studying, and from the moment she started asking for advice, she discovered that the detective knowledge taught by Uesugi Sosetsu was completely different from what she thought.

The detective knowledge she imagined was like a detective, able to infer the other person's age, occupation, living standard and region from a certain unconscious action of the other person. However, Uesugi Sosetsu talked about "surveillance, DNA, and on-site testing" the whole time, and at most he said a few words about the identification differences of different injuries of surgeons.

This was not what she wanted, but she was too embarrassed to interrupt the man, and as time went on she began to feel drowsy.

When a man found out that she was asleep, Hui Lingna clasped her hands, twisted her legs and blushed in shame. Fortunately, it was him. If it was someone else, she would be furious.

It's so uncomfortable... Erina subconsciously pulled the waistband of her pantyhose between her waist and crotch, making a snapping sound: "Sorry~ I just came to your house..."

This is not a good student, but Uesugi Sosetsu still thinks the lesson is worth teaching.

She changed into the stockings she didn't like to wear just for him to see him. How could he bear to blame such a simple and stupid woman?

A standard mine gravity girl had been transformed into this by him without him realizing it, and Uesugi Sosetsu suddenly had a strange sense of accomplishment.

"Okay, let's stop here. The moving company will be here soon." Uesugi Sosetsu stood up with a smile.

"Yeah." Erina was still embarrassed. It was so rude that Uesugi Sosetsu was so serious when learning karate, but she fell asleep when she was learning. So she slowly moved to the side of Uesugi Sosetsu, then stretched out her legs. The pair of black silk legs wrapped in pantyhose looked even more slender and round. She showed them directly to the man: "This, is this an apology?"

"Pfft!" Uesugi Souyuki was amused by Erina's weird way of apologizing. He just fell for it: "Okay, I'll let you go this time. Pack up for the last time. The moving company is coming."

"Yeah!" Hui Lingna bit her lips tightly and nodded shyly, unable to help feeling a little proud in her heart.

Today's stockings were not worn in vain.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the moving company arrived and carried downstairs boxes of things that Uesugi Sosetsu had packed.

The two of them no longer had the atmosphere of being alone together. They acted vigorously and dealt with everything one by one. Uesugi Sosetsu stood in front of his student dormitory, straightened his body, and finally bowed slightly towards the room: "Thank you for your hard work over the past four years."

After saying this, Uesugi Sosetsu said goodbye to the student dormitory where he had lived for four years. To a certain extent, he also said goodbye to his identity as a medical and dental university student. He had already passed the medical qualification certificate and completed the regular training procedures. All he lacked now was his graduation thesis and a formal graduation ceremony.

Japanese moving companies are quite professional, and unless the customers initiate the conversation, the employees rarely speak. After packing up everything, the moving company set off, picking up Uesugi Soyuki and Ikeda Erina on the way.

Uesugi Sosetsu's new home is in Sakata Bridge, Bunkyo Ward.

As the moving truck drove on the road, a huge towering building pointed straight into the sky. The surrounding low-rise single-family houses and commercial buildings on the neighboring streets seemed very small in front of this giant building. Its floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the sunlight under the sky, making it as dazzling as the Plasma Spark Tower in the Kingdom of Light.

This is Uesugi Sosetsu's new home.

Tower is translated from tower mansion, which refers to a tower-style super-high-rise residential building, usually more than 30 floors. Although the population in major Japanese cities is very dense, there are no super-high-rise buildings everywhere.

This is because Japan has well-developed rail transit and large cities have no traffic problems. For example, Chiba City, which is dozens of kilometers away from Tokyo, only takes about an hour to get to the minato area by train, so commuting is not a problem at all.

Many people who work in Tokyo live in Chiba Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture, and Saitama Prefecture, so there is no need to build a large number of towers in the city center to accommodate them. Therefore, multi-story apartments with less than 15 floors account for the majority in Tokyo, while towers with more than 30 floors are rare.

Due to this feature, Japan can turn towers into scarce high-end residences. Japanese towers are equipped with hotel-like front desk services, gyms, activity rooms and other facilities. These features clearly distinguish towers from ordinary apartments, and towers have become a symbol of luxury.

Moreover, since most residential buildings in Tokyo (not considering the numerous high-rise office buildings) are below 15 stories, towers stand out from the crowd, especially at higher floors, where the view is quite good, with Tokyo Bay and Tokyo Tower in full view, and the sunlight is also quite good, which is particularly precious in a place like Tokyo where buildings are densely populated and per capita resources are scarce.

Apart from garden houses like the one owned by the Uesugi family, tower buildings are the most popular type of residence for the wealthy in Tokyo.

It has an excellent view, a superior geographical location, tight security, and complete public facilities and services of a star-rated hotel, while also saving taxes.

"The moving address is the tower next to Bantian Bridge. That's your new home, right? The land price at Bantian Bridge is super expensive, right?" Sure enough, when the moving company employee saw his destination today, he couldn't help but say, "You are amazing. You can live in such a good place at such a young age."

"No, it has nothing to do with my age. I just rely on my father completely." Uesugi Sosetsu replied casually.

As the two responded, the rule of not talking without reason was broken, and the moving boy really interrupted and exclaimed: "Wow, it's good to be rich. How much does the tower here cost? At least 100 million, right?"

"I don't know exactly how much it is." Uesugi Sosetsu shook his head: "Brother, do you know the land price here?"

"In this area, and if it's a tower building... the guest is on the 60th floor, right? That would cost about 4 million." The moving guy judged based on his experience: "About 8000 million. The economy is in a recession now, so if you're lucky, you can get it with 40 million." The price of a tower building varies greatly within a building. The ground floor tower has poor lighting and a small field of view, and the price can differ by up to 15000% from that of a high-rise tower. That is, a -story tower may be worth million yen, and the price of a -story tower is heading for million.

"Madam, you are blessed to live in a tower like this with your husband." The moving man then said to Ikeda Erina who had remained silent beside him.

When the lady said this, Erina, who was next to Uesugi Sosetsu, was stunned for a moment, then realized that the moving boy was talking to her.

The tall beauty instantly blushed and blushed, and explained half angrily and half anxiously: "No, I'm just his..."

"She is my partner." Uesugi Sosetsu interrupted and explained naturally, "She accompanied me to look at new houses."

"Oh, sorry, it was my mistake." The moving guy apologized quickly. Feeling Erina's unfriendly look, the guy was startled and immediately shut up.

However, Erina fell silent because of this sentence.

She was satisfied with Uesugi Sosetsu's answer.

Reina also knows that she is a weird person. If Uesugi Sosetsu answers her that he is just a colleague or a friend, Reina will feel uncomfortable because the relationship between the two parties is more than that.

But if Uesugi Sosetsu really agreed or said she was his girlfriend, Erina would also feel that it was a bit too much. If the two of them were to be serious, nothing actually happened.

The word "Aibo" is just right, more than friends but less than lovers.

Having encountered bad luck, the moving guy dared not say anything more, and under the autumn sunshine, the moving work officially began.

As soon as you enter the lobby of Sakata Bridge, you will see the quaint Harajuku style decoration. Both the ceiling and the walls are in log style. The scattered tiles on the floor form patterned color blocks. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows are dotted with tall green plants. The star-rated hotel-style front desk staff wear standard uniforms, and the security guards are tall and mighty, looking much more energetic than the ordinary patrol officers.

"Boss, welcome home!"

As the revolving door spun, the office lady at the front desk stepped up in high heels to greet us: "Are you Mr. Uesugi Muneyuki who has an appointment?"

"Yes...you know me?"

"Of course, how could I not know him... Uesugi-san was so handsome in the live show the night before yesterday!" The receptionist said excitedly, "And this is the beautiful policewoman who performed the judo tricks that day, right? What's her name?"

"Ikeda..." Erina responded unhappily.

"Okay, please come this way." No one who can work as a receptionist in the tower is lack of tact. Seeing that Erina was unhappy, she immediately switched back to work mode.

First, an owner card was obtained for Uesugi Sosetsu. The tower's security facilities are very complete, with security, monitoring, automatic locks, smart elevators and alarm devices. The interior is also fully equipped, and there are even special canteens and restaurants, one on the second floor and the other on the basement floor. Lunch and dinner can be provided for a monthly food fee of 36,000 yuan.

Ikeda Erina felt as if a new world was unfolding before her eyes.

When they reached the eighteenth floor, the thick carpet, the paintings on the wall and the vase at the end of the corridor made the tall beauty think that she had really entered a four-star hotel. However, when the receptionist opened the door of "1802" for Uesugi Sosetsu, the light that hit her face made Erina squint her eyes involuntarily.

so big!

On one side of the entrance is a large shoe cabinet built into the wall, and on the other left side is a guest room. This room is about 12 square meters and is fully equipped with everything. There is also a small sliding window and a bay window, from which you can directly overlook the scenery of the entrance below the tower and the nearby Tokyo city.

Is this Uesugi’s new home?
Under the instructions, Ikeda Erena took off her newly bought pearl pumps and walked into the room.

After the shoe cabinet on the right side of the entrance hall and the small guest room on the left side, what comes into view is the extremely spacious living room that runs horizontally in front of Erina. The tall floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of sunlight. The space, which is more than 20 meters wide, is bright and spacious. On the left side is a huge reception area, and on the right side is an open kitchen with a double-hole gas stove.

All facilities are complete, including American GE refrigerators, a complete set of kitchen appliances from the old German brand Miele, a complete set of washing machines and dryers, and a full set of bathroom equipment.

Outside the reception area is a 20-square-meter balcony planted with vegetation and equipped with an escape route. From here you can once again overlook the scenery of Tokyo, and there is even a barbecue grill against the wall.

Walking further inside, there is a long corridor. There are two toilets and one bathroom in the house. The larger toilet and bathroom are combined next to the kitchen. There is a 1.7-meter large bathtub on the right side of the corridor. On the left side is the second bedroom, which is larger than the small guest room outside.

The largest one is the master bedroom, which is not only over 20 square meters in size, but also equipped with a small bathroom and a walk-in closet.

It is worth mentioning that the master bedroom also has a circular semicircular bay window. When you open the curtains and look through the glass, you can vaguely see the Tokyo Tower.

"Is this the king's suite?" Erina couldn't help but complain, "So luxurious?"

However, Uesugi Sosetsu just smiled when he heard this, and he directed the employees of the moving company to start decorating his home.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Erina felt a little restrained. Seeing that everyone at home was busy, she was standing there alone and suddenly couldn't find her place. She felt a little embarrassed.

A guy noticed this.

The soul of the female anchor Hironaka Mariko flashed out. She was amazed at Uesugi Sosetsu's new home, and then complained: [Has your partner never eaten good food? This is called the king's suite? What is the name of the 400-square-meter flat that the old toad Kameyama lives in? ]

[Uh, the general's great inner city? ]

[Hahahahaha! Why not just call him Yoshiwara the Toad?] Hironaka Mariko laughed out loud, then squinted at Ikeda who looked a little awkward next to her: [Is this guy from the countryside?]

[It seems to be in Fukuoka, Kitakyushu. 】

[No wonder, a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin, but you, you know a lot!] Hironaka Mariko laughed wildly: [Generally speaking, as long as you bring a country girl who is dreaming about going to the capital to your new tower house for a tour, you can get on base that night!]

[Are you thinking of the same thing? ]
