Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 211, Uesugi's Layout
That morning, when Uesugi Sosetsu, who was sent back to the outer world by senior Mai, faced the hustle and bustle of Tokyo again, he always felt a sense of unreality, as if this world was disconnected from the world where the two of them practiced martial arts together last night, and he felt very uncomfortable.

But Uesugi Sosetsu had a very strong psychological quality. He gradually accepted even the things like traveling through time and changing his parents to become Japanese. It was not that difficult to switch back and forth between the surface world and the inner world.

This is exactly what Shirakawa Mai envies the most.

After a night of "training", all the spirits in Uesugi Sosetsu's body were "drained", and his abdominal chakra was now empty.

So when he returned to the Special Mission Department, Uesugi Sosetsu immediately began to devote himself to the Metropolitan Police Department's great autopsy and case-solving operation with great enthusiasm, because he didn't know any other way to replenish the energy of the other world except triggering the Dead Soul Contract through autopsy.

However, before that, Uesugi Sosetsu still had a few things to deal with.

The first issue is to apply for the women's dormitory of the Metropolitan Police Department for Mikoto. In fact, Mikoto's application for the women's dormitory is not in accordance with the rules. She is working in the forensic department of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital. She is not an official employee of the Metropolitan Police Department and has not even passed the probation period.

But with the help of Miss Minami, this matter was accomplished. Uesugi Sosetsu applied for a women's dormitory affiliated with the Metropolitan Police Department in Toshima Ward for Ishihara Mikoto.

Only then did Mikoto realize how powerful Uesugi Sosetsu was. She could finally move out of the attic of the oden restaurant. Uesugi Sosetsu accompanied her to move on the day she received the transfer order. However, what was puzzling was that the forensic beauty was wearing flesh-colored pantyhose when she left, but when she moved, the stockings on her legs turned into gray pearlescent pantyhose. When she returned to the Metropolitan Police Department after the move, the stockings on her legs were gone again, which made Erina a little puzzled and she asked about it, causing Mikoto to quickly go to the locker room to change into a new pair.

As for having Mikoto adopt Asuka, Uesugi Sosetsu has not yet taken the initiative to propose it. He wants to find a more appropriate time.

Then there's the matter of engagement.

In mid-August, Uesugi Sosetsu officially brought Watanabe Minami to visit the Uesugi residence in Bunkyo Ward.

Miss Minami made careful preparations for this visit. She prepared a pure white dress with light gray and bitter tea brown pleats, and did not wear any jewelry to make her nude. She only wore a pair of white high heels and ultra-thin invisible flesh-colored stockings for the visit.

An elegant long dress, smooth long hair, and light nude makeup on the face.

Grandpa Uesugi Kuninori and parents Uesugi Hironori and Uesugi Tomoko are all quite satisfied with this future daughter-in-law, but they are a little concerned about the fact that Minami is still serving as the head of the Special Mission Department. After all, in the eyes of these traditional Chinese people, it would be best for Minami to transfer to an idle clerical position now, and then quit her job to become a full-time housewife after marriage.

However, the youngest son was married off to another man, and the Uesugi family was not in a position to directly express their dissatisfaction.

Miss Minami presented two gifts to Uesugi Hironori and his wife, a bottle of "15th generation" Daiginjo worth yen and a Kutani ware snow wheel silver tea vessel designated by the Imperial Household Agency.

Uesugi Hironori was very satisfied with the gift from his future daughter-in-law. He kept holding the imperial tea set from the Imperial Household Agency in his hands and couldn't let it go.

Miss Minami gave her grandfather Kuninori Uesugi a Hokkaido red ginseng and a complete set of "Kyuujido" Silver Age Stationery Set.

Uesugi Kuninori had been through many battles and had seen a lot. When he was born, the aristocratic system had not yet been abolished. He just nodded and smiled faintly.

His grandfather was of noble descent. His grandmother's father was Shimazu Tadayoshi, the last lord of Satsuma Domain. Shimazu Tadayoshi's other daughter was Empress Kōjun, who was a serious relative of Uesugi Kuninori. His grandfather had to call Empress Kōjun his aunt-grandmother. He himself was a cousin of Tokugawa Tsunesaka, the current head of the Tokugawa family.

As for her brother Uesugi Sadanori, Miss Minami's gift was very simple. Following the guidance of Uesugi Munesetsu, she gave him a notebook co-branded with the Tokyo National Library and the newly released Sony PRS-T1 e-reader.

Yes, Uesugi Sadanori is actually a hidden Sony fan.

Support domestic products! Sony is great! Faith is priceless, I want to protect Yifu's smile!

The return gift from the Uesugi family was a piece of Hazen Yonezawa-ori, Japan's finest silk fabric. It was made from top-quality raw silk "Yonezawa silk" and spun with low-temperature water, giving the silk a soft and lustrous luster. A 12-meter-long piece of Yonezawa-ori was worth more than 300 million yen.

I have taken out all the treasures from the bottom of my box at home.

When Uesugi Sosetsu saw that his return gift was actually from Uzen Yonezawa Ori, he thought that this was a huge loss.

After giving out the gifts, Uesugi Sosetsu also brought Watanabe Minami to formally apologize to his father Uesugi Hironori for the last time he talked back to his parents. The youngest son knelt down on his knees and seriously submitted to his father and kowtowed.

Uesugi Hironori was surprised that Uesugi Munesetsu actually gave in, and secondly, he was surprised that his fiancée Watanabe Minami actually knew about this and said that it was arranged by her. Considering that the family might still have to rely on this youngest son after Uesugi Kuninori retired, the father hesitated for a moment and made a few symbolic criticisms. Then the mother said a few soft words as a peacemaker, and the previous matter was revealed.

Afterwards, Uesugi Sosetsu informed his grandfather and father about the division of the family.

The Watanabe family compromised and stated that they could formally merge into the Uesugi family as a new branch of the Uesugi family. After the marriage, Uesugi Muneyuki would not have to change his surname, but it would be Minami who would have to change his surname.

However, Watanabe Eiji also requested that although they could declare it as a branch family to the outside world, internally Uesugi Munesetsu was actually adopted as a son-in-law, and the main family had no right to interfere with or give orders to the branch family. This was the bottom line, that the branch family and the main family were equal, they just used Uesugi's surname.

Uesugi Kuninori and Uesugi Hironori had no reason to object to this result, but after Uesugi Munesetsu and Watanabe Minami left, the father and son discussed the matter privately. "Watanabe is really unexpected." Uesugi Hironori said to his father who was sitting in the old man's rocking chair, "What is the purpose of changing the surname to Uesugi and cutting off the family name? Is he targeting the family name of the main family?"

"It's possible." Uesugi Kuninori nodded seriously: "But isn't Xueshoumaru also your son? And we have decided that Sentokumaru will inherit the family name, and the other party also agrees. In this case, it might not be bad to have a branch family."

"I am ashamed that my father still needs to worry about the upbringing of his children." Uesugi Yukenori felt a little embarrassed. His failed visit did not solve the problem but instead caused a rift between him and his youngest son. Afterwards, he found out that Minami actually agreed to it, and now he became a clown.

"If a father fails to teach his children, it is his fault. If a teacher fails to teach them strictly, it is his fault." Uesugi Kuninori opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It has been very difficult for our family to have children until now. Xueshoumaru has been recognized by the University of Tokyo and will be admitted to the University of Tokyo soon, but Sentokumaru's archaeological research is not so easy to achieve results... Even if I have to sacrifice my old bones and lose face, I will definitely send Sentokumaru to the University of Tokyo."

"Father..." Uesugi Yuken was silent for a while, a little dejected: "It's my son who is incompetent."

"It's good to have a branch family. We can take care of each other in the future. If the main family of Sentokumaru declines, we can still adopt an excellent child from the branch family of Xueshoumaru. After all, even if the meat is rotten, it will eventually be in the pot... But I probably won't see that time, Takeshoumaru (nickname of Uesugi Yuken), believe in the wisdom of future generations."

“…………”Uesugi Yuken thought to himself, believe it or not, I am the descendant!

"Oh, by the way, I was invited to be the historical consultant for the next year's Taiga drama "Gunshi Kanbei". It just so happens that I plan to let Sentokumaru and Xueshoumaru play the guest roles of Lord Kagesho and Uesugi Kagetora in the drama." Uesugi Kuninori said this with a smile on his face: "This was proposed by NHK on its own initiative."

"Hey? Guest starring in a Taiga drama?" Uesugi Yuken's eyes lit up: "Finally!"

"Well, because of Xuesongmaru's activeness over the past year, the whole of Kanto has started to remember us again." Uesugi Kuninori thought for a moment and said, "What's your plan? We've been preparing for so many years, we should start it now before I completely retire and Xuesongmaru completely leaves the main family!"

Uesugi Yuken nodded, and by borrowing the influence of his father and son, he planned to make something big.

The Yonezawa Uesugi Cultural Promotion Foundation is established!

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

After dealing with his own personal affairs, Uesugi Sosetsu turned his attention to the disappearance case of a female college student at Tokyo Women's University.

At this time, more than two weeks had passed since Hirasawa Yui disappeared. No one had found her alive or dead, and the Metropolitan Police Department could not always focus on this missing case. So after the head of the First Investigation Section, Ukyo Sugishita, personally went to the scene to check and investigate, the Metropolitan Police Department could only hand the case over to the Suginami District Police Station for follow-up, and the First Investigation Section no longer spent any more energy on this matter.

As for what would happen if the missing case was handed over to the local police station, everyone knows it.

The clues ended here. Uesugi Sosetsu had originally been expecting the being from the other world to appear again and commit crimes, but he waited for a long time and never got there, so in the end he couldn't be sure whether the being from the other world was the gigolo Takigawa Tsubasa.

An officer from the public security department agreed to help with the investigation, but even if they were the public security department, they could do nothing if the other party did not commit the crime.

This type of case is the most difficult to handle. Criminals with high IQs and special abilities disappear after committing a crime, and the police can hardly find any angle to solve the case.

And just like that, with the official employment of Ishihara Mikoto, the work of the Special Mission Department gradually stabilized. Uesugi Sosetsu lived a very fulfilling life. He usually performed autopsies at work, practiced karate with Master Erina from time to time, took one day a week to go to Senior Mai's house to "get beaten", went on a date with Minami, and flirted with the housekeeper at home.

After awakening the second "Death Flashback" ability, the Metropolitan Police Department also clearly felt that Uesugi Sosetsu's autopsy ability had reached a new level.

The happiest one among them was Miss Minami.

It feels so quiet, there haven't been any major cases happening in Tokyo, not even a single homicide in the whole of August. It's quite different from before. Maybe it's the combination of Uesugi + Ishihara that drives all the murders away from Tokyo?
But these are no longer important.

On a morning in early September, Miss Minami held her coffee, quietly waiting for it to cool down. At the same time, she was also waiting to gain enough experience, waiting for Uesugi Sosetsu to send her continuous credit from the front lines, waiting for her own large furisode kimono made with Yonezawa weaving, and waiting for the engagement ceremony in November.

Everything was calm and nothing happened. Everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department was working hard, and the Special Mission Department was becoming more and more important.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Miss Minami began to prepare for work.

Uesugi Sosetsu, Erina, Okada, and Ishihara are out on field work again, and as the department head, she also has to work harder!

She will prove that what we have accumulated so far is not completely in vain. In the future, as long as we do not stop, the glory of the Special Life Department will continue to extend...

Yes, Tokyo was peaceful and the good atmosphere of "peace in all directions and prosperity every year" that the police loved most was lingering around Sakurada Gate.

The Mitsui Real Estate branch in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, encountered a strange thing...
