Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 106: The bottom defeats the top!

"Advisor Uesugi?"

"Advisor Uesugi?!"

At a certain moment, when Uesugi Sosetsu said the word "homogeneous revenge", he sensed a trace of energy from the other world, but when he wanted to find out where this power came from, he only sensed a wisp of pink and white cherry blossom petals dissipating in the air.

"Uesugi!" Watanabe Minami couldn't stand it anymore. She punched Uesugi Sosetsu and asked, "What are you doing?"

Only then did Uesugi Sosetsu realize that the more than one hundred reporters in the audience and a large number of high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department beside him, including the Commissioner of National Police and the Superintendent of Police, were all looking at him.

"Sorry, I was distracted. I'm a little tired." Uesugi Munenchi calmly smoothed things over and made an apologetic gesture: "When I heard that the headquarters needed me, I got up from my bed in the middle of the night and performed an autopsy in the early morning. I didn't have time to rest, and then performed another autopsy in the morning. I worked day and night non-stop."

After that, Uesugi Sosetsu added with a hint of humor: "Director Watanabe, I think I need a paid Golden Week holiday."

"Hahahahaha~" Uesugi Sosetsu said this, and there was laughter on and off the stage. Watanabe Eiji naturally agreed. The Superintendent smiled and said in a deep voice: "Focus on the press conference first. When this is over, Counselor Uesugi will naturally get your long vacation."

"Excuse me, could you please repeat your question?"

Being interrupted like this, Uesugi Sosetsu had completely lost the opportunity to pursue the source of power in the other world, and he could only continue the press conference.

"Counselor Uesugi, what's your evaluation of the police's performance in this case?" A reporter asked, "As you said, the police went in the wrong direction at the beginning. Is this really something that a minor like girl C could think of? Is there a possibility that during the investigation, girl C took the initiative to expose her mental problems, which affected your judgment of the real murderer?"

good question.

Uesugi Sosetsu thought that this question was actually very malicious.

In short, the reporter is asking, did you, with the help of the police, find a mentally ill minor and frame her using memory recovery techniques and helping to fabricate evidence?

If not, where is the evidence?
Uesugi Sosetsu smiled slightly, nodded and said, "There are indeed some doubts about this matter."

“Huh?!” There was a commotion in the audience, and the entire press conference was boiling.

Consultant Uesugi actually took the initiative to admit that there was something hidden in this case? !

His remarks also shocked the police.

Hey! Stop talking nonsense!
This was supposed to be a scene where our Japanese police were winning big!

You are a consultant, are you trying to overthrow me?

Minister Mori and Section Chief Mikasa from the criminal side stood up on the spot, while Counselor Kobe from the public security side smiled coldly and sat on the Diaoyutai without moving.

"I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with Girl C's crime. In fact, the chain of evidence is already very complete." Uesugi Sosetsu signaled everyone to be patient: "But there are two points that I still can't figure out."

"According to what I learned from the old police officer in the Organization Countermeasures Department, putting a threatening note into the victim's mouth is a very old method of threatening. How did Girl C know this?"

"Also, after being arrested, Girl C repeatedly mentioned the existence of a "him". Although her words were vague, it seemed that her crimes pleased "him".

When Uesugi Sosetsu said this, everyone at the Metropolitan Police Department was already sweating profusely.

"So I remembered that the public security investigation mentioned a strange man in his 30s who was active in Chiba Prefecture between the first and second cases. His identity is still unknown. It is possible that girl C had contact with him and was influenced by him. However, it is also possible that 'he' is just a fictional person, imagined by girl C herself. Girl C may even have multiple personalities, and she is talking about herself." Uesugi Muneyuki held up the information in his hand: "For now, what I can be sure of is that all three cases were committed by girl C, and there is no doubt that she is the main culprit, but I am not sure whether there is a mentor behind her."

"Advisor Uesugi, can't you give a definite conclusion?" The reporter was obviously unconvinced.

"Everyone, I'm just a forensic doctor. All I have to do is explain things clearly." Uesugi Munen said coldly: "I have told you all the possibilities. As for which tendency it is, this involves the Metropolitan Police Department's on-site and subsequent investigations. I was not involved in this, I don't know, and it is not my responsibility."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department breathed a sigh of relief. Miss Minami, who was standing next to Uesugi Muneyuki, glared at him and snatched the microphone from Uesugi Muneyuki's hand. "According to the Metropolitan Police Department's subsequent investigation, there is no evidence to prove that Girl C had a mentor or accomplice behind her. We did not find any strange communication records or any other contact between suspicious persons and Girl C. Therefore, this department judges that Girl C committed the crime alone. This is consistent with her confession, the diary, and the information from the Forensic Department."

I won't tolerate such things as the lower class rebelling against the upper class! Uesugi, you must let me ride on you and bite your teeth!
The reporters below were about to ask more questions, but suddenly everyone realized that the logic had closed again.

It is not a frame-up - mental problems cannot be falsified - the evidence is irrefutable - it is not a frame-up - mental problems cannot be falsified......

So unless new evidence emerges, the existing evidence is enough to close the case, and the murderer has mental problems, so even if she said something, it cannot be confirmed. As Uesugi Sosetsu said, that's the end of it.

Yes, that's it! "Thank you all for your participation. We, the Metropolitan Police Department, are honored to have solved the Chiba County serial murder case. We will, as always, do our best to protect the lives, property, and physical safety of all citizens!"

Finally, Superintendent General Eiji Watanabe led all the police officers on the scene to bow to the reporters who came forward.

NHK, the five major TV stations and hundreds of media outlets looked at the complacent current Metropolitan Police Commissioner Watanabe Eiji and sighed in their hearts.

The Metropolitan Police Department has really become different under this person's leadership!
…………

The press conference ended at Masuyamaso Ryotei, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

A female general wearing a tomesode kimono walked through the brown corridor and respectfully pulled open the screen. Behind her, three female generals in kimonos came dragging exquisite kaiseki cuisine on the ground.

Inside the antique tatami restaurant room, Police Chief Kaneko Sawaro was still in shock. He personally filled a glass of sake for Superintendent Watanabe Eiji: "Ah, I'm so scared!"

Ambergris is lit in the house, floor lamps and chandeliers complement each other, there is a small bridge, flowing water, bamboo forest and rocks outside the door, and there is a heater, screen and hanging paintings and flower arrangements inside the door.

"Why did Uesugi suddenly say that at the end? I was scared to death!" Officer Kaneko muttered, "I almost thought he didn't want to close the case!"

"This guy Uesugi is like this." Watanabe Eiji laughed and reached out to take the wine, took a sip, and smacked his lips: "If you want to use him, you have to accept his shortcomings, sir. If it weren't for him, we would all be finished this time."

"Haha, it's me who's done for, not you. After all, the affairs of Chiba Prefecture have nothing to do with Tokyo." Officer Kaneko laughed cheerfully, "Anyway, let me toast you a glass. Long live Chiaki!"

"Long live the thousand years!"

The Police Commissioner and the Superintendent of Police clinked their glasses, splashing wine everywhere, and each drank a glass.

The case was solved in more than a week. The Japanese police made a great comeback this time. Tonight's press conference was the headlines of all news and websites. It was played millions of times on YouTube in less than an hour. The case explained by Uesugi Munesetsu himself was fascinating. 2ch has already built 10.6 posts on this topic.

Uesugi Sosetsu's inexplicable judgment of Tianma's actions, shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target to chase the criminal is extremely fascinating.

This is not authentic at all!
But it's really wonderful!
"Knock, knock~" At this moment, the voice of the kimono-clad female general outside suddenly rang out: "Excuse me, the guest you made an appointment with is here!"

"Guest?" Watanabe Eiji frowned and looked at Kaneko Sawaro with a puzzled look.

Two middle-aged men walked in, one of them was the National Police Agency's Security Director-General Tsuyoshi Kudo, and the other was the National Police Agency's Chief Cabinet Secretary Kimiaki Onoda. He was tall with a square face, small eyes, and a bald head. He looked to be in his fifties. He had just been transferred from the Imperial Palace Police Headquarters and had heavy bags under his eyes.

Hmm? The Superintendent thought for a moment, and soon understood something.

After the Chief of Security, Tsuyoshi Kudo, and Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda sat down, there was silence in the restaurant for a long time. Finally, the leader of the Public Security Faction, Tsuyoshi Kudo, slowly knelt on both knees towards Watanabe Eiji and bent his waist: "Thank you for taking care of this matter."

"I am the one who needs the care of the Public Security Bureau, Minister Kudo." Watanabe Eiji waited for a while, then said slowly: "In any case, the Public Security Bureau has helped a lot this time, so let bygones be bygones."

"Thank you very much." Kudo Tsuyoshi lowered his head unwillingly. This time the public security made a major mistake in judgment, and someone had to take responsibility.

Of course, this responsibility should be borne by him as the leader of the public security. Who made him promise Chief Kaneko that their public security would handle it?
Fortunately, the police immediately adjusted their strategy and made a significant contribution to the follow-up of the case, which was considered to be a lot of compensation.

As the price, Isayama, the secretary who was kicked to the ground by Kudo and no longer dared to be the mouthpiece of the Metropolitan Police Department, took all the blame. He announced to the public that it was he who proposed the direction of the investigation. As the price of failure, he resigned from his post as secretary to the Minister of Security and became a director of the Japan Guide Dog Association with an annual salary of 500 million yen.

"However, if you do things like this again without considering our opinions, it won't work!" Watanabe Eiji raised it high and put it down gently: "I hope Minister Kudo will cooperate with our actions in the future, just like this time."

"But... we in the public security department also have a face problem." Minister Kudo's momentum was not as strong as before.

"I know." Watanabe Eiji nodded, and a barely perceptible smile flashed across his dignified face: "I will suppress the Maori people for the time being and will not let them affect the normal operation of the public security."

Hearing what Watanabe Eiji said, the faces of the National Police Agency Commissioner, the National Police Agency Security Director, and the National Police Agency Chief Cabinet Secretary in the room all flashed a trace of gloom.

After this major case, the Metropolitan Police Department, under the leadership of Police Commissioner General Watanabe Eiji, gradually turned against its superiors and suppressed the National Police Agency, its superior agency.

The entire Japanese police force is gradually falling under the control of the Superintendent General in front of him.
