Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 98, Born a Bad Seed

In the early morning, the air in Chiba Prefecture was still filled with a damp smell after the rain. The temperature in Chiba Prefecture in November also began to drop. Due to the recent serial murders, the entire Chiba city was in panic.

The blue sky is covered with dark clouds. The moisture in the air is freezing cold. People wrap themselves in thick clothes and start a new day with one "I'm going out" after another. Although big things have happened, they still have to go to work and life must go on.

It was a dark morning as late autumn turned into winter. A short-haired high school girl was walking in the narrow streets with headphones on. She seemed to enjoy this time and ignored the pedestrians on the road. She had short hair that went past her ears, which was simple but not refreshing. Her hair was obviously not well-groomed and her broad forehead was covered by messy bangs.

She was not fat, but very strong, with a pair of eyes with small pupils and large whites that kept moving. There was no "human" emotion in those eyes, but the most primitive animal nature.

The atmosphere today was a little abnormal. After turning a corner, the female high school student found a person standing in the middle of the street.

The man was in his early twenties, with a stern appearance and outstanding temperament. He wore a fitted suit with a long windbreaker on the outside, and there seemed to be a biting cold wind in his dark eyes!
He saw her and turned slowly.

For some reason, the high school girl actually sensed a hint of danger from this man.

She took off her headphones, stopped calmly, and slowly took a step back.

Da da da da~
Behind me, I heard the sound of footsteps from leather shoes. Twenty or thirty men in suits blocked the street behind me.

She quickly looked to the left and saw that four Toyota cars had blocked the road, and more than thirty men in suits had blocked the entire road.

Looking to the right, a row of Toyotas are parked from the beginning to the end of the street, and a large group of people in suits are entering the venue in an orderly manner.

"Ms. Nishijo Yasuie?" Uesugi Muneyuki, who was standing in the middle of the road, lowered his hands and said coldly, "Don't even think about running away. There are police everywhere."

Behind Uesugi Sosetsu, Inspector Higurashi of the First Investigation Division and Inspector Okada, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner's personal operator, quickly entered the scene with a dozen men in suits.

A rough calculation shows that the number of police officers who arrived at the scene exceeded one hundred.

One hundred against one, the advantage is mine!
“…………” Nishijo Yasue did not answer. She did not feel afraid nor did she show an expression of nervousness and hatred. Instead, she simply continued to walk forward, reaching for her bag as she walked.

And the moment she reached for her bag, at least twenty men in suits beside her immediately reached for the holsters on their waists!

"Stop, don't move!" Inspector Higurashi had already grasped the pistol and put his finger on the safety. He shouted softly, "Stretch out your hand, slowly."

"…………" However, Yasue Nishijo did not listen to the police at all. Not only did she continue walking forward, but she also kept reaching into her bag.

The suspect's behavior scared the surrounding police officers so much that they pulled out their pistols. However, faced with at least five S&W revolvers and five SIG pistols, Yasue Nishijo's reaction was... he kept moving forward and reaching out.

The elites of the Metropolitan Police Department had never seen such a scene, let alone the local police in Chiba Prefecture. And after all, criminal police tried their best not to use pistols. Nishijo Yasue's advance shocked a dozen nearby policemen and made them retreat!

Then a very bizarre scene appeared. Dozens of policemen with guns were frightened by a high school girl and retreated continuously. It seemed that the high school girl was the one with the gun.

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, she even tried to hold back her laughter. It seemed that she was not nervous at all about the scene. Instead, she felt very happy!

Yes, in Uesugi Sosetsu's eyes, this high school girl didn't look nervous or scared at all. Instead, she seemed to be very happy about the police's appearance! She was looking forward to it!

The levator lip muscles, depressor lip muscles and buccinator muscles on her face were highly tense, causing the corners of her mouth to slightly curl up, as if she was smiling but not smiling, almost tense, in a state where she really wanted to laugh but had to hold it back.

Just like that, she intimidated more than a hundred policemen around her, rummaged around in her bag, and finally took out a bunch of keys. She even deliberately shook it in her palm to show off to all the policemen present.

Then she made a downward gesture, like a king ordering her subjects - you can put down your guns.

Coupled with the expression on her face that was half-smiling and half-smiling, this was a naked provocation!

The Chiba Prefecture police were fine, but the elites of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division were angered by Yasue Nishijo's behavior. Kosaka from the First Department and Kashiwagi from the Third Department immediately put down their guns and went over to hold the high school girl on the left and right. Then they gave a wink, and a female police officer who had been prepared came up and searched Yasue Nishijo to confirm that she had no dangerous items on her.

This is also the only female police officer who came to today's operation. Originally, Uesugi Souji wanted to give this position to Ikeda, but unfortunately Miss Minami did not agree.

"This girl's mood is a little strange." Behind Uesugi Sosetsu, Inspector Higurashi put away his pistol and looked serious.

"Yes, she didn't change her expression even when the gun was pointed at her. I thought she even wanted to laugh."

It wasn't just Nishijo Yasue who felt in danger, but also Uesugi Sosetsu. For some reason, he always felt that this high school girl was dangerous.

"He can actually laugh at a gun. Is he really an ordinary high school student?" Inspector Okada also put away his gun: "Looks like this, we may not get anything out of the interrogation."

"No matter what, let's search first!" Uesugi Sosetsu also had a bad feeling.

Yasue Nishijo's home is a very simple one-family house with two floors and a very small yard. The word "welcome" is painted on the iron railing outer door, and a basket of flowers is hung on it.

Inspector Okada rang the doorbell.

"Hi~ Who are you?" A middle-aged female voice came from inside.

"Excuse me, we are the police, can we bother you for a moment?"

"Hi?" The door of a house opened, and an ordinary middle-aged woman was stunned when she saw hundreds of policemen in suits almost filling up the entire street outside. "Hey?"

Nishijo Yasuie's parents are both ordinary working couples. Her stepfather is in his forties and is a full-time employee of a company in Tokyo. Her mother works part-time in a clothing store in Tokyo, working three days a week and taking four days off, so that she can take care of the family. The couple has two children, the eldest daughter Nishijo Yasuie is 15 years old, and the second son Nishijo Akito is 9 years old.

The Metropolitan Police Department had of course already checked the couple's files, but found nothing suspicious.

The only thing that was abnormal was their attitude towards the presence of a large group of police officers.

Hearing that their daughter might be related to the previous serial murders, the couple's attitude was surprisingly calm. The mother brought three cups of tea from the kitchen and placed them in front of Uesugi, Higurashi and Okada: "Yasu's room is upstairs. If you want to search it, please feel free to do so."

This strange attitude immediately made the three people who entered the room realize that something was wrong. Uesugi Sosetsu asked, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but is there anything you can tell us about your daughter?"

"There's nothing to say." My father was equally calm.

"Aren't you worried that your daughter might be involved in the serial murders?"

"We don't know whether it is related or not, but I don't care about it anymore." The mother was also very cold towards her daughter.

"What's the reason?" Uesugi Sosetsu asked.

"Kang Hui has been different from normal people since she was a child..." the mother said casually.

Yasue Nishijo has been different from normal children since she was born. She doesn't like to cry or laugh. She usually stays at home and just stares blankly in a certain direction for the whole day.

The previous failed marriage was the mother's responsibility. She had an affair with Yasue Nishijo's current stepfather, so all the children left with their father, except Yasue Nishijo, who was unwanted, so the mother took the child with her.

But Yasue Nishijo was born unlikable. Her empty eyes showed no emotion, which made people feel uneasy and creepy. Her mother did not like the child, but the child was innocent after all. She was very busy with work, so she decided to send her daughter to her grandparents.

After going to the countryside for some time, Yasue Nishijo seemed to have become a little more normal, so her mother took her back into the reconstituted family. However, no matter what her mother did, Yasue Nishijo could not integrate into the existing family. Her stepfather also tried in every way to please his stepdaughter, but to no avail. Yasue Nishijo neither accepted his kindness nor showed any disgust towards him.

Over time, the stepfather and mother had run out of patience and all their love. From then on, they treated their daughter as a familiar stranger and decided to provide her with food, clothing, and education until she was 18 years old.

"We don't care about her at all. If you want to search her room, please do so." The couple said calmly, "As for why you want to arrest her, where you want to take her, and how long you want to keep her, it doesn't matter. We agree. If you want to publish her real name and photo, we also allow it as her guardians."

Uesugi Sosetsu and Higurashi Okada looked at each other and decided to start the search.

At the same time, in the interrogation room of Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters.

Yasue Nishijo sat in front of an iron table, expressionless and silent.

Inspector Kashiwagi Hitoshi, head of the third department, sat opposite Nishijo Yasue.

A photo printed from surveillance was shoved in front of Yasuie Nishijo: "Is this you?"

“…………” Nishijo Yasue didn’t even look at the photo. She looked at Inspector Kashiwagi Hitoshi with empty eyes: “No.”

"That's you! You were caught on camera entering and leaving the crime scene several times, Yasuie Nishijo. We also found records of you traveling between Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture several times! You stayed at Sendai Horikawa Park several times abnormally!" Inspector Kashiwagi Hitoshi said coldly, "What were you doing on the day of the crime?"

"I'm playing nearby." The high school girl raised her eyes, and her empty eyes became more focused, as if someone had reminded her. Her lip levator muscles, lip depressor muscles, and cheek muscles were tensed again: "What's wrong? Is it not allowed?"

"Why did you kill those animals? Why did you leave the cat's body in the toilet?"

"It wasn't me."

"You were the one caught at school that day!"

"I do not remember."

Nishijo Yasue denied all of Inspector Kashiwagi Hitoshi's questions, and she did so without having to think or hesitate at all.

What made Kashiwagi Jin even more angry was that she remained calm the entire time.

She was even trying to hold back her laughter, and the more excited Kashiwagi Ren became, the harder she tried to hold back her laughter.

"We are asking you a serious question!" Kashiwagi Ren was angered by Saijo Yasue's attitude. He said sternly, "Do you know that several families have suffered great pain because of you?"

"I didn't do it."

"Are you still being stubborn? Yasuie Nishijo, I'm warning you, we are jointly searching your home with the Special Investigation Headquarters! My companions will soon find evidence of your crime! You committed the crime alone, and your whole family will be disgraced because of you! Don't you think about how they will live on the street with such a hat on their shoulders in the future?"

Inspector Kashiwagi Jin habitually brought out his family and made an expression that said "this is for your own good."

Finally, after hearing these words, Nishijo Yasue reacted. She looked at Kashiwagi Hitoshi's patient and considerate expression, and perhaps she thought of her parents and what happened today, and finally she burst out laughing.

"Anxious?"
