Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 77: Daily Life at the Metropolitan Police Department

The dismemberment case on the big screen attracted the attention of Uesugi Sosetsu and others.

"Murder and dismemberment? This person is a minor, right?" Uesugi Sosetsu looked at the news in surprise, as the pictures were covered with thick mosaics so that nothing could be seen, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"Well, the nature of this matter is very bad." Watanabe Minami, the face of the Metropolitan Police Department next to her, also took the matter seriously. There was a hint of seriousness in her sweet almond eyes.

In fact, as a member of the professional team and the police department, Watanabe Minami knew much more details about this matter than Uesugi Sosetsu and Higurashi Kusata.

After discovering this incident, the Chiba Prefecture Police Headquarters attached great importance to it and immediately formed a special search headquarters, dispatching more than a hundred police officers to carry out a full-scale blockade of the C2 warehouse and its surrounding areas in the dock area.

The survey work officially began.

"Oh? Can you tell me about it?" Uesugi Sosetsu became interested, because he was a forensic doctor.

"Since it's Uesugi-kun's request, then of course, but these are all internal information, so it's better not to spread it outside." Watanabe Minami gestured for you to speak in a low voice, and the Face of the Metropolitan Police Department also whispered to Uesugi Sosetsu and Inspector Higurashi about the inside information from Chiba Prefecture.

The body was found on October 10. Three days before the body was found, the Doimaru family in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture went to the local police station to report that their child, 20-year-old fifth-grade elementary school student Junpei Doimaru, had gone missing when he returned home from school and went out to play.

The police in Chiba Prefecture did not take it seriously at first, but because it was a child who was missing, they still sent some people to assist in the search.

To no avail, Junpei Doi disappeared.

He went missing on the 17th and his body was found on the 20th, brutally dismembered. This shocking news caused Tu Feiyuan's family to collapse.

The Chiba Prefecture police also came under tremendous pressure as they realized that this case was unusual and therefore conducted an extremely detailed investigation of the scene.

The survey results were strange.

"Very strange?" Uesugi Sosetsu became more interested. He frowned and said, "What do you mean? What do you mean by very strange? Why?"

"The autopsy report from Chiba Prefectural Hospital said that the deceased's head was cut close to the chin, without the neck." Watanabe Minami said, "Then, in the examination of the body, Chiba Prefectural Hospital said that the body was washed very clean with a large amount of water. Very, very clean, no clues can be found on the surface of his body. There is no other human tissue between the fingernails or on the body surface, and there are no other external injuries."

"How could it be?" Inspector Higurashi also frowned. "If there are no other external injuries, could the murderer have been killed by beheading him with a single blow? That's too..."

"That's right. If the incision on the head is smooth and there is no neck, it means that extremely professional instruments were used, such as surgical scalpels or special cutting machines in slaughterhouses, or the body was frozen before cutting." Uesugi Munen said while showing off his fried pork chops: "As for washing the body, it is also a technical job. It's not that it is difficult, but the murderer must have a strong psychological quality. If there is no similar experience, few people can complete this behavior for the first time without leaving clues."

"Normally, if a person's artery is cut, he will quickly lose half of his blood. This is very common. However, the remaining blood in a corpse will not continue to drain quickly. It will slowly seep out as the body rots. To flush the scene to ensure that there is no blood at all, you need a lot of water, some basic blood drainage techniques, and a strong mental state."

"Oh~~~" Inspector Higurashi and Minami Watanabe listened to Uesugi Sosetsu's professional analysis like curious babies.

But Watanabe Minami hadn't finished her words yet. She whispered, "However, the Chiba Prefecture police made other discoveries in the warehouse..."

"What discovery?!" Uesugi Sosetsu and Inspector Higurashi asked with interest.

"I can't tell you about that." Watanabe Minami smiled coquettishly and made a zipper-like expression towards her mouth: "All I can tell you is that the police have been dispatched and are heading towards Chiba Prefecture."

Japanese police?

"Then when are we going to set out?" After listening to this, Uesugi Muneyuki indicated that he was ready.

As a result, Watanabe Minami squinted her eyes at him and said, "Uesugi-kun, have you forgotten something?"

"what?"

"The Metropolitan Police Department is only responsible for Tokyo!" Watanabe Minami said with a hint of sarcasm, "This is a case in Chiba Prefecture, so it should naturally be handled by the Chiba Prefecture Police Headquarters. Unless Chiba Prefecture asks for help from this department, there is no reason or excuse for this department to intervene in this case."

“We are different from the police.”

"Ah? So we just don't care about it?" Uesugi Sosetsu was stunned.

"Yes, we can't control it." Watanabe Minami picked up the plate, indicating that she was done eating. She covered her mouth and chuckled. Her eyes swept across Uesugi Sosetsu's face and she said with a smile, "Uesugi-kun, see you in the afternoon."

As she spoke, a pair of jade feet wrapped in flesh-colored stockings stepped on standard commuter 5cm black high heels, and the proud and noble figure in the standard police uniform skirt swayed away in front of Uesugi Souyuki. The thin flesh-colored stockings revealed a hazy whiteness, but if you look more carefully, you will find that Watanabe Minami's porcelain-like skin is the main color of the pair of beautiful legs. In the intersection of flesh-colored and white, the blue marks on the back of the foot are also faintly visible.

Uesugi Sosetsu couldn't help but take a few more glances. Unlike Ikeda Erena, Watanabe Minami was dressed in this police uniform, tube skirt, flesh-colored stockings and high heels most of the time. Coupled with her outstanding beauty and her sometimes intelligent and static beauty of the Showa era and sometimes weird and lively little devil, it was hard for Uesugi Sosetsu not to take a few more glances at her.

Seeing this, Inspector Higurashi had a very strong teasing expression on his face and said jokingly, "How is it, Uesugi-kun? Are you having a good time with the face of this department?"

"It was indeed quite enjoyable!" Uesugi Sosetsu admitted frankly.

After he joined the Metropolitan Police Department, the docking business on the Metropolitan Police Department's side was taken over by this man from the Metropolitan Police Department.

The feeling that Watanabe Minami gives to Uesugi Sosetsu is really completely different from that of Ikeda Erena.

With her in charge of communicating with everyone, Uesugi Sosetsu really doesn't have to worry about anything. He only needs to be responsible for the autopsy, making the judgment, obtaining evidence, and restoring the scene. Watanabe Minami will help him handle all the rest, and it will be very clean, beautiful and completely compliant.

Compared to when he was working with Reina and had to worry about whether she could accept it, when he was working with Miss Minami, Uesugi Sosetsu felt like he was a rich young master who had everything handed to him. Miss Minami had arranged everything for him, and he only had to be responsible for autopsies, reasoning, and solving cases.

Moreover, in daily interactions, the considerate Miss Minami doesn't need to be reminded at all. When Uesugi Sosetsu needs to speak clearly, she is responsible for keeping silent. When Uesugi Sosetsu has some needs that are difficult to express directly, she will take the initiative to speak.

Miss Minami knows exactly when to let a man perform and when to speak for him, and she always praises Uesugi Sosetsu at the right time, without appearing to be flattering or fawning.

It's a pity that only Uesugi Sosetsu can enjoy this kind of service from Miss Minami.

And the hammers in the Metropolitan Police Department wanted to skin him alive!
Previously, he was in love with the national goddess Mai Shirakawa, and now he is in love with the face of the Metropolitan Police Department, Minami Watanabe.

The death of Uesugi is not enough to appease the public anger!
So when the male detectives saw Uesugi Muneyuki often going out with their Miss Minami, they all looked resentful, but they had nothing to say about his professional ability. The entire Metropolitan Police Department had to blame him for the Fujidai case last time.

And Uesugi Sosetsu liked the way these hammers were upset with him but couldn't do anything to him.

After lunch, when they went downstairs, Uesugi Sosetsu and Inspector Higurashi saw several men in suits and windbreakers coming down the stairs. They were in a hurry, and naturally there was a sense of arrogance and indifference in their expressions.

"As expected, the Public Security Bureau has dispatched." Inspector Higurashi nodded. "They are Superintendent Ichijo of the Public Security Bureau and Captain Five of the Security Department SAT."

"Superintendent Ichijo? Captain Five?"

"Well, if we can get Superintendent Ichijo and Captain Five Dai to go, it seems that the case in Chiba Prefecture will be solved soon." Inspector Higurashi put his hands behind his back and said, "Something related to the gang must have been found in the warehouse."

"You mean, the dismemberment case might have been done by a violent gang?" Uesugi Sosetsu thought thoughtfully.

Inspector Higurashi mentioned some rumors that there are many port terminals in Chiba Prefecture, which is in a relatively chaotic area all year round, and many violent groups choose to trade drugs and smuggled goods there.

However, Inspector Higurashi didn't quite understand the specific content.

Yes, it is no longer news that there is a natural conflict between the criminal faction and the public security faction in the Japanese police system.

The business scope of both parties overlaps to a considerable extent, and the two sides have naturally different ways of dealing with crimes - criminal police must rely on evidence for everything they do, but public security police do not need evidence when dealing with some special issues, such as the Kabukicho gigolo incident previously reported by Uesugi Sosetsu.

Public security police inherently have greater authority, and they can ask criminal police to share intelligence free of charge, while keeping their own intelligence secret from criminal police.

This results in the police having no ill will or special views towards the criminals (they help us), but the criminal police really hate the police (lawsuits!), and the relationship between the two sides is extremely bad, like they are having Gillette steamed tofu all day long.

This kind of bean curd has even spread to the positions of Superintendent General and Commissioner of the National Police Agency, and whichever faction comes to power will have the upper hand.

This has become a daily routine for the Metropolitan Police Department.

"In short, since the public security has intervened in the dismemberment case, it seems that they have obtained considerable evidence and should be close to solving the case." Inspector Higurashi concluded: "It's just that the brothers in Chiba Prefecture are going to suffer again."

"It's fine if the police don't go out, but every time they go out, they cause public outrage and leave a mess behind."

"Really? Director Watanabe, can't you take care of these guys?"

　The conflict between the criminal faction and the public security faction could fill several books, haha~
