Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 71, Both Promoted

After hanging up the phone, Uesugi Sosetsu said softly, "Congratulations, Master Erina, you are going to be promoted to patrol chief."

"Huh?" Ikeda Erena was stunned, thinking that this notice was really weird.

"I said, you're going to be promoted to Patrol Chief!" Uesugi Munen had to repeat himself, holding back his laughter: "You've been a patrol officer for four years, right? If you're not promoted to Patrol Chief, you'll be promoted to Patrol Chief."

"Well, it doesn't matter." Ikeda Erena pouted, and the tall beauty stubbornly wanted to express that fame, wealth and power were nothing but clouds to her.

"You really don't care?" Uesugi Sosetsu shook his head, as if smiling, "If nothing else, it's tens of thousands more in salary a month!"

"Pfft!" Ikeda Erena couldn't help but chuckle when she heard what Uesugi Sosetsu said. She suddenly felt that there was no need to be stubborn in front of Uesugi Sosetsu, so she nodded as if to admit it: "Okay then."

As an inspector who has worked for four years, Erina's current monthly salary is about 23 yen. After deducting rent, living expenses, and the cost of occasional activities with Uesugi Sosetsu, Erina can only save 27 to yen a month. If she can be promoted to patrol director, she can get at least yen a month, which will make her living expenses much more comfortable.

She doesn't care much about promotion, but no one can have too much money.

Otherwise, I will only have enough money for one tempura meal per month, so how can I go out with Uesugi in the future?
"What about your promotion?" Compared to her own affairs, Ikeda Erena was more concerned about Uesugi Sosetsu.

"This is a secret." Uesugi Sosetsu put away his phone, still with that expression that deserved a slap: "I can't tell you now, I really can't tell you."

"Let me take you back, Master Erina." Uesugi Sosetsu ignored Erina's unhappy expression and indicated that that was enough for today.

Not having dinner? Ikeda Erena was really upset.

Finally, in the falling dusk, Uesugi Sosetsu drove her home.

Back in Setagaya Ward, back in her own home, Ikeda Erina silently watched the cars driving by under the window, her heart pounding and her body unconsciously tensed.

She began to worry about gains and losses again.

But this time, she was really nervous.

Her heart had already been closed, closed by herself. Erina never understood. She had always treated people with sincerity and honesty, but why the environment around her was always so bad? Her classmates, coaches, superiors, and colleagues all looked at her with tinted glasses and wanted to harass and violate her.

Until she met Uesugi Sosetsu, this man was a rare person who did not try to possess her right away.

Is he lustful? Of course he is lustful.

But he's a gentleman, isn't he?
What Uesugi Sosetsu said, "Don't put your life into work, and don't put your work into your life" fits Erina's thoughts so well.

He is lustful when he should be lustful, serious when he should be serious, talkative when he should be talkative, and outspoken when he should be outspoken.

This is what Erina wanted.

However, this is not necessarily what Uesugi Sosetsu wants.

This woman is very greedy, she wants it all. She knows that this is not good, but he is like a short-lived happiness, bringing her a moment of respite and comfort.

In fact, Uesugi Sosetsu knew that if he wanted to enter her room tonight, she would not refuse.

But Uesugi Sosetsu didn't want this to happen. First of all, this woman was very strong. Once the two of them had sex, especially if Uesugi Sosetsu took the initiative, then everything would be over.

Erina has a scale in her heart, and she tries hard to balance the relationship between the two parties using this scale. She will deliberately exaggerate the weight of the weight on her side, but it does not mean that she will unreasonably lean to one side - but if the two parties have a relationship, this kind of thing is very likely to happen.

Whether she wants to get married, become Uesugi Sosetsu's lifelong partner, or even become Uesugi Sosetsu's secret lover, once emotional matters are mixed with work, for someone like Erena who often cannot distinguish between public and private, she will begin to interfere with Uesugi Sosetsu's private life at will.

And that would be a real disaster.

This is not an ideal marriage partner, or even an ideal girlfriend, but there is no doubt that she will be a good partner and friend. She is serious about her work and has a strong sense of justice. Once you gain her trust, she will never betray you.

This is a loyal dog type of woman. Uesugi Sosetsu will treat her well but will never take the initiative.

He didn't want to be tied up by her and dragged by her!
let it go.

…………

Just as Uesugi Sosetsu said, a few days later, the official promotion document was issued along with the order from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Female patrol officer Erina Ikeda of the Otsuka Police Station under the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has been officially promoted to patrol chief!

The promotion ceremony was held at the Otsuka Police Station local branch.

Ikeda changed into his standard police clerk uniform and stood straight.

"Ms. Ikeda Erena, although it may be a bit redundant, I still want to formally ask you here, are you willing to be promoted to the Minister of Inspection and contribute your part to the health, safety, and freedom of the people?"

"I do!" Ikeda Erena remembered what Uesugi Sosetsu had told her, and decided to let nature take its course: "I respectfully accept the appointment!"

"very good!"

Otsuka Police Chief Kanazawa is really scared, fearing that Ikeda Erena will do something shocking on the scene again. He just wants to finish this term well, then retire safely with a badge of Superintendent of Police, and add a lot of gold coins to his pension!
Who wants to argue with someone like Ikeda? Not everyone is lustful!

"That's great, Ikeda." Director Kanazawa lowered his head, not daring to look at her directly. "It's your good fortune that you can be promoted in our department. Please don't forget that you were promoted to the chief inspector in our Otsuka Department in Bunkyo District. Don't forget us when you become successful in the future!"

Director Kanazawa's words sounded sarcastic, but Ikeda Erena couldn't figure it out. She instinctively searched for Uesugi Sosetsu in the crowd.

But Uesugi Sosetsu was not here today. Chief Kanazawa trembled as he took out new shoulder straps from the box and put them on Ikeda Erena. Then he took out a brand new patrol chief badge from the box, hesitated for a moment, and motioned for a female subordinate to come over.

Erina was speechless and angry about Director Kanazawa's behavior.

Are you that scared of me? I'm not mentally ill. I can still tell the difference between normal contact and sexual harassment.

The person who happened to be replaced was Ms. Kosaka, who had been transferred back to office work, and she looked very unhappy.

Ms. Kosaka has always stubbornly believed that if nothing unexpected had happened, the position of Ikeda Erena would obviously have been hers.

Later, because Uesugi Sosetsu showed his favor for Erena, Ms. Kousaka stubbornly believed that Erena seduced Uesugi Sosetsu with her vulgar figure and small breasts, and exchanged her body for merits, which gave her the opportunity to follow Uesugi Sosetsu and get so many credits.

In short, just don’t admit it!
Japanese women can say no, this is what Mai Yang taught us!

This was also very rare. Due to Erina's bad reputation and poor interpersonal relationships, after the official announcement of her promotion, all the police officers present gave sparse applause, which was very perfunctory.

This is rare in the Japanese workplace, where relationships are valued.

Fortunately, Erina didn't care too much about these things. She only heard the chatter of Sudo Butt, Tanaka Laodeng and Kuwahara Asako.

Damn, she had been following Uesugi Sosetsu’s partner for too long, so when she saw these three people, the first thing that came to her mind was the strange nicknames that Uesugi Sosetsu gave them.

"It seems that the Metropolitan Police Department wants to let little brother Uesugi work in the Forensic Division." Sudo Butt said enviously: "This is what little brother Uesugi deserves."

"Ah? Uesugi is going to work for the Metropolitan Police Department? What about our Otsuka Police Station?" Tanaka Laodeng's first reaction was bad: "Will he still perform autopsies for us in the future?"

"Uesugi seems to have said that although he has been assigned to the Metropolitan Police Department's Forensic Division, he will try his best to take care of the affairs of the Otsuka Police Station." Kuwahara Asako was very motivated: "We can't rely too much on Uesugi-kun in the Criminal Division, right?"

It's time to show the true strength of our Criminal Division trio!
"Oh, you kid! Do you understand?" Tanaka Laodeng really wanted to slap Kuwabara in the face.

Why should you work so hard to get the credit when you can get it easily?
You don't really think you're that capable, do you? You idiot!

After saying that, Tanaka Laodeng also glanced at Erina who was not far away.

This is for you, too, Ikeda.

You don't really think that your promotion is due to your own ability, do you?

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

At the same time as Ikeda Erena was promoted, Uesugi Sosetsu also ended his adjusted leave.

Moving to the new home made him feel a little uncomfortable. Compared to his previous student apartment where he could see the end as soon as he opened the door, the new home seemed too spacious, so spacious that he felt a little weird.

Especially the female ghost Hironaka Mariko, who liked to pop out of the cupboard from time to time to scare him, stick her head out from under the sofa to scare people, or hang from the ceiling to scare people.

Even though Uesugi Sosetsu had seen a large number of dead souls and possessed the power of the golden body of Aizen Myōo, he was still frightened by her from time to time.

There really is a female ghost in the house!
After seeing Ikeda off that night, Uesugi Sosetsu played another game of Princess Connect, and then spent a day buying a lot of new household items for his new home.

I have to say that the Sakatabashi Tower is very convenient. The supermarket is on the basement floor. You don't have to carry the things you bought by yourself. The property management will deliver them directly to your door. Even Uesugi Sosetsu himself doesn't have to go to buy the things in person. He can entrust the property management to buy them for him and then deliver them up. As long as the amount is over 5000 yen, the property management will help with the delivery.

This is true hotel service.

And then today.

The new Inspector Minami Watanabe from the Personnel Division of the Metropolitan Police Department whom I met today invited Uesugi Sosetsu to visit the Metropolitan Police Department and introduced him to some people.

Uesugi Sosetsu, who planned to infiltrate the Metropolitan Police Department in the future, naturally had no reason to refuse.

The two agreed to meet at a dim sum restaurant near the Metropolitan Police Department.

Uesugi Sosetsu got there by train. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was indeed time for him to buy a car.

Do you want to take over your father's Lexus?
But wouldn’t it be too high-profile to drive a Lexus to work at the Metropolitan Police Department?
Or should I just get a regular Nissan commuter car?
Uesugi Sosetsu was thinking.

It was already October and the weather in Tokyo had gotten noticeably colder. The roadside tourist shops were shouting out words in pure Chinese saying "Happy National Day", "50% off sale", and "Don't miss it if you pass by", giving Uesugi Sosetsu a strange sense of time and space dislocation.

Yes, in many large supermarkets in Japan, especially those selling electrical appliances and luxury goods, there will be sales clerks who understand Chinese to serve you as long as you need them.

Land in Chiyoda Ward is very expensive, and it is also the administrative center of Tokyo. Visitors here are either cultural and political figures or tourists. Most companies will not set up offices here, and Tokyo residents will not come to Chiyoda to hang out.

Uesugi Sosetsu came to a snack shop called "Kikuchi Forty-Eight".

"Good morning, Mr. Uesugi!"

The sweet and lovely Watanabe Minami was already waiting here. When she saw Uesugi Sosetsu appear, her eyes lit up and she came up to greet him.

"Good morning, Ms. Watanabe."

"Hehe, there's no need to be so formal. Just call me Minami~"

　The third update is finished. I am so tired.
