Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 101, Complete Defeat

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters, smoking room.

A large group of policemen from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division were huddled inside to smoke cigarettes, puffing out smoke and enjoying themselves.

The income of the police is very high compared to the working class, second only to the financial, lawyer and doctor professions, but the pressure is also very high, especially for those criminals who have to participate in investigations, most of them have the habit of smoking.

A local inspector from Chiba Prefecture came running in, he was about 28 or 29 years old but less than 30 years old, carrying two large plastic bags in his hands. After coming in, he nodded and bowed to the uncles in this office. His fawning, humble look, and soft-spoken manner were totally unworthy of the inspector badge and the Chiba Prefecture police badge on his body.

As mentioned before, the position of chief inspector is an informal position, which is intended to provide a consolation to the lowest-ranking patrol officers who have not been able to be promoted for many years. Generally speaking, if a patrol officer has not been promoted for 5 years, he can be promoted to chief patrol officer. If he is still a patrol officer for 10 years, he will be automatically promoted to chief patrol officer.

It's no wonder that the chief inspector is so humble, there are several police captains present who are younger than him from the professional group of the Metropolitan Police Department, and there are elites from the non-professional group of the backbone of the First Investigation Division who have handled more than 300 cases in the past 20 years. None of them can be afford to be offended by the local branch.

As for the uncles from the Metropolitan Police Department in the smoking room, they naturally accepted the service of the local branch.

In fact, Japan, South Korea and other countries are the same. As regions with a very strong Confucian culture, the bureaucrats naturally have their own arrogance. However, in Japan, supervision and complaints are very strict. There are a large number of local autonomous groups, and city councilors, county councilors and district councilors must be directly elected. Therefore, from the grassroots to the top, they always give people a humble and flattering attitude.

But in reality, they are just afraid of complaints and losing votes.

Once you really get into the system, to the criminal police of the Metropolitan Police Department, those who sit in the offices of the Police Department are the top officials, but to the local branches, those who come from the main department are also the top officials without a doubt, and they all act in a very majestic manner.

The famous Enlightenment thinker and jurist Nagasaki Motoyo once said, "Power is only responsible to the source of its power." This is the essence of the saying.

The chief local inspector handed bags of green tea to each police officer, and then humbly delivered boxes of yakitori to their hands, secretly eavesdropping on what they were talking about. If he could strike up a conversation with the elites of this department, bragging rights would be a great asset.

"How is it? Did Yasue Nishijo confess?" Inspector Higurashi of the 13th Department picked up a skewer of grilled chicken with green onions and ate it with a cigarette and green tea.

"No, it's really hard to deal with." Inspector Kosaka of the First Department also shook his head painfully: "No matter what we said, she didn't react at all. She denied all the accusations and firmly told us that the things in the diary were her imagination, not real. She didn't kill anyone, and she didn't dismember the animals."

"Damn it, this brat really needs a lesson!" When Kashiwagi Ren recalled the experience of himself taking action, his face still turned red with anger.

"Kashiwagi-san, don't worry about it. We still need to ask the Inspectorate and the District Attorney's Office for your previous assault." Inspector Kosaka shook his head in distress: "Fortunately, the surveillance camera captured that she was the first to attack. We can forcefully say that you acted in self-defense, otherwise you will be prosecuted by the District Attorney's Office!"

When he heard the name of the district prosecutor, Kashiwagi Ren's face became even uglier. He also knew that he was impulsive. Strictly speaking, if someone dared to hit someone during interrogation, or a minor, he would be demoted at best, or dismissed if the situation was more serious.

"Where is Okada?" Inspector Sho Shiratori was eating grilled chicken skin skewers, and he calmly reached out and took his grilled diaphragm skewers from his subordinate's box, leaving his subordinate angry but not able to say anything.

"Okada doesn't smoke. Uesugi and the Public Security Bureau are discussing countermeasures."

When they heard the word "public security", the criminal police present all looked unhappy.

In the end, these police officers got in the way!

Uesugi Muneyuki naturally also received a "reward" from the Chiba Prefecture Police Headquarters. He stood outside the interrogation room and looked at Nishijo Yasue who was sitting inside through the one-way glass.

Looking at the obvious malice in her empty eyes, Uesugi Sosetsu felt confused.

It seemed that the person sitting there was not Yasue Nishijo, but myself who had just woken up.

At that time, I also had such empty eyes, full of malice towards the whole world, carrying a lot of secrets in my stomach that I couldn't tell anyone, and living a wooden and boring life.

In essence, he and Yasue Saijo are actually the same kind of people.

The famous bassist philosopher and founder of voluntarism, Kaname Rakuna, once said that life is like a pendulum, swinging between pain and boredom. When desires are not satisfied, there will be pain, and when desires are satisfied, there will be boredom.

Yasue Nishijo once felt very bored, but it was through slaughtering that she found her own happiness.

Uesugi Sosetsu once felt very bored, but it was Sister Mikoto who allowed him to experience the joy of this world for the first time.

Uesugi Sosetsu is the cured Saijo Yasue, and Saijo Yasue is the broken Uesugi Sosetsu.

Damn, I don’t think I really have an antisocial personality, do I?
Uesugi Sosetsu had a somewhat terrifying thought.

"We've investigated. This girl has no friends or boyfriend at school. She has no interests... If she can be considered slaughtering, she barely counts as one. She has no special interests, and her family has no idea what she likes." Behind Uesugi Muneyuki, Public Security Bureau management officer Kaoru Ichijo handed a bottle of low-sugar Suntory Oolong tea to Uesugi Muneyuki. "Perhaps for such a person, killing is not only her interest, but also her whole life, right?"

"In fact, we in the police force have also encountered such people. Some terrorists really regard terrorist activities as the meaning of their lives." Superintendent Ichijo walked to the side of Uesugi Sosetsu and looked at Nishijo Yasue through the glass: "How about it, do we need our police force to find someone who knows about this?"

"Because killing is the whole meaning of her life, she longs to become a human, right?" Uesugi Muneyuki said, "If someone could understand her world, she would definitely start to talk about everything about herself?"

"Hey! Advisor Uesugi! Are you sane?" A police inspector was shocked by Uesugi Muneyuki's remarks: "Do you want to empathize with a serial killer who attacks elementary school students? Are you going to defend her?"

"How is that possible!" Uesugi Sosetsu sneered and said, "If I could, I would shoot her right now."

"That's right. It's a pity that she is under 20 years old, otherwise she might really be sentenced to death." The police inspector Ichijo felt much more relaxed.

In Japan, the legal age of adulthood is 20, and only after that can a person be sentenced to death. However, Japan's minimum age of criminal responsibility has been revised from 20→20→18→16 over the years. This means that if Yasue Saijo is found guilty, she will definitely go to jail, but because she is not a legal adult, she cannot be sentenced to death.

"I'm thinking about a question." Uesugi Munen suddenly said, "Since she likes killing so much, why doesn't she kill her parents and brother?"

"I don't understand the world of terrorists." The police inspector wanted to say that she probably knew that if she did this, she would have no place to eat or sleep, but then she thought that such a crazy person probably wouldn't consider this, so she changed her words and said, "How about contacting her family?"

"Let me give it a try." Uesugi Sosetsu thought for a moment, then pushed open the door and went in.

He wanted to try whether he could use his past world to touch Saijo Yasuie's present world. In the simple, clean and cold interrogation room, Uesugi Sosetsu sat in front of Saijo Yasuie.

The girl seemed to have some reaction. She looked up at Uesugi Souyuki and said, "You are finally here."

"Can you say a few words?" Uesugi Sosetsu asked in a low voice. He did not seek the consent of Saijo Yasue, and said to himself: "I really want to become a human being."

“…………” A hint of hatred and madness flashed in the girl’s empty eyes.

"I woke up in a strange world. Since I was a child, the people and things around me were all strange. In class, you looked at them and felt that they were like humans. They would laugh, shout, and quarrel, but those things were like bubbles, unreal and untouchable."

"What is laughing? Is it laughing when you open your mouth and show your teeth? What is crying? Is it crying when you close your eyes?"

"You can't understand the expressions of the people around you. You don't know whether they are laughing or crying. You want to laugh and you want to cry, but you don't know what they are. These things have nothing to do with you."

"You haven't grown into the human being your parents wanted you to be. You're bored. You want to do something, but everything you do is boring."

The girl's pupils dilated slightly.

"Mother works very hard, but she doesn't need you. It's your grandparents who really need you." Uesugi Sosetsu said coldly, "Grandparents never treated you as their real granddaughter. They just treated you as a child laborer. They assigned the heaviest work to you and asked you, a primary school student, to do troublesome things like killing chickens and fish."

"But you are happy because you are needed. You have something you must do and have to do. This gives your life meaning. Even though it is forced, you are needed."

"You think you have become a human being. From the moment you are needed, killing has been tied to the human being Yasuie Saijo. When the skull falls to the ground and the blood flows, you find the meaning of life."

The muscles in the girl's neck began to twitch.

"My mother remarried, my grandparents passed away, and suddenly, the meaning of Yasue Nishijo's existence disappeared. Is she still alive? Yes, she is still alive, but she is no different from a dead person, because you are no longer needed, and you don't know what to do."

"You know your stepfather tries his best to please you, and you also know that your brother always gives you half of the good things, but you can't respond to this kind of feeling. The more your family tries to please you and accept you, the more confused you feel."

"That's not what you want." Uesugi Sosetsu said coldly, "You just want a kill order to make you feel that your life still has some meaning."

“No one gave you an order, you created one.”

"But don't worry, Ms. Nishijo. From today on, no one will love you anymore, no one will care about you anymore, and no one will go to great lengths to please you anymore. Ms. Nishijo, you will enjoy eternal boredom in prison and juvenile detention center." Uesugi Sosetsu said coldly, "These days will be very long, very long, so long that you will forget what the outside world is like, so long that you will think the sky is square, and so long that you will forget what those people look like."

"Your brother will never come to see you again. He is very afraid of you and hates you now. The only thing he needs from you is for you to disappear forever. No one will pay attention to you every day anymore, and any good things he gets will be shared with you in half."

Uesugi Sosetsu finished speaking.

“Hahaha~” Nishijo Yasue finally laughed: “Ahahahaha~”

"You're wrong. No, it's not necessary." The murderer finally revealed a distorted face. She first showed a happy expression, and while laughing, she said in confusion: "It's not as complicated as you think. You are just a running dog of the system."

"There was no special reason for the killing. I just suddenly thought of it, so I did it." She mentioned Tu Feiyuan's death as casually as if she had stepped on a cockroach to death.

"Then why didn't you take action against your family?" asked Uesugi Sosetsu.

“………………” Nishijo Yasue remained silent.

"Because you are still expecting to be needed. You always think that now that it has come to this, they will definitely react, right?" Uesugi Munenyuki continued, "Now I can tell you the result."

"The Public Security Bureau has already given you a new identity. The person named Saijo Yasue no longer exists. Your parents and brother have agreed to let you disappear from their lives. Your classmates will know that you have transferred to another school, and your neighbors will know that you are studying abroad. Your existence will be erased, and you will be tried in complete isolation."

"Girl C, this is your name from now on."

"You will never be needed again, ever." Uesugi Sosetsu took out the statement signed by her family giving up family ties.

"You will never be human again."

"Bang~" As soon as these words came out, something broke, and Girl C slammed the armrest of the chair with her hands: "He's beating him, he knows that guy has had enough!"

"And then he hit him, like!" Girl C pounded the armrest of the chair harder and harder. "I don't want to hurt anyone, he told me to do it! I love doing it."

"Who is he?" Uesugi Sosetsu keenly noticed the strangeness in her words.

"Kill you!" However, Saijo Yasue turned her empty eyes to Uesugi Muneyuki, and the evil at the root of the moment flashed in her empty eyes. She yelled nervously: "If it weren't for you, it wouldn't have turned out like this!"

"Kill you, kill you, kill you, kill you!" Endless hatred, like a violent storm.

After saying that, Nishijo Yasue roared, raised his fist and hit Uesugi Sosetsu!
Uesugi Sosetsu immediately stepped back, but because of the obstruction of the table, Nishijo Yasue's belly hit the welded table but failed to move it, and her upper body hit the table, but she seemed not to feel any pain, and just raised her head and stared at Uesugi Sosetsu.

"Stop!" The criminal police and public security officers outside immediately rushed in and held down Yasue Nishijo.

Uesugi Sosetsu immediately withdrew from the interrogation room with a complicated expression.

"who is he?
However, before he had time to communicate with others, good news came out immediately.

"Counselor Uesugi, Inspector Ichijo, she confessed!"

"Yasuie Nishijo confessed. She admitted that she committed three murders!"
