Chapter 1039

Oh, hurry, hurry, look, Kang Shen is live!

Date Nagamune immediately pulled out his phone, watching Varolant Managing Deputy Goat, domestic Night Dew King zmjiejiekk appear, excitedly making a "downplay" gesture: "Full of vigor! Kang Shen!"

"We'll win!" Maeda Toshihide nodded beside him: "The strongest record will be etched in the Magic Capital! This time, let the whole world witness our CNVCT's might! 16—2, group stage all wins, only lost two maps! Four CNVCT in the quarterfinals, number one under heaven!"

"Hmph, tell the Latin American beasts, you're the challengers!" Date Nagamune was very excited: "That is to say — Kang Shen won!"

"So your good brother is Kang Shen?" Uesugi Muneyuki raised an eyebrow: "My brother is different!"

"Uesugi Chief, how many good brothers do you have?" Maeda Toshihide raised an eyebrow.

"Ame, jkl, yinuo, zmjiejiekk, Niko, Wang Attendance, James Harden, Bellingham are all my good brothers!" Uesugi Muneyuki said with a wicked smile.

"————You dead stringer." Maeda Toshihide tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Can you string more than me?"

"Alright, seeing you so energetic puts my mind at ease, you rest assured and heal, I'll handle what comes next." Uesugi Muneyuki returned to his serious state.

"BYD, when we're serious you're stringing, when we're stringing you're serious with us, you've been strung completely, Uesugi Chief!" Maeda Toshihide complained: "It should be you responsible! I also don't do autopsies!"

"It's fine, rules can't be broken, my Uesugi's autopsy doesn't burn the heart, corpses are same-day, first establish the rule, then dissection can get wider and wider! Accounts must be recorded clearly, whose corpse, whose responsibility, better to earn less than break the rule, someone says it's not clean, then I'll let him see clean! Not that I'm steady, it's that panic can't happen, panic leads to mistakes."

"Sounds like Uesugi-san is selling beef noodle soup rather than being a forensic pathologist." Date Nagamune complained: "Not burning the heart has come out, is this proper business?"

"Haha!" Uesugi Muneyuki laughed even happier: "What about Kai?"

"Kai and Meng Shao Zhi are both pretty badly injured." Maeda Toshihide said.

"Hmm, I'll go check on them."

Uesugi Muneyuki walked over carrying two convenience store bags.

The bags contained several sports drinks, a box of energy bars, and several latest manga magazines, which were Kai Toru and Meng Shao Zhi's favorites: "Tora no Ana," "Karakuten," "ANGEL Club," etc.

Kai Toru lay in the hospital room.

His upper body was wrapped in bandages several times over, the rib area bound tightly with fixing tape. He leaned on the hospital bed, left hand holding his phone looking at something, right hand unable to move much due to shoulder strain.

Seeing Uesugi Muneyuki push the door in, he put his phone down and slightly nodded his head.

Tadashi! Sei!

"Uesugi-san!"

"Don't move." Uesugi Muneyuki placed a sports drink on his bedside table: "Ribs broken again?"

Kai Toru gave a wry smile, that motion tugged at his chest wound, making him frown: "Right side fourth and fifth ribs. Cracked, not fully broken. The doctor said rest six to eight weeks."

"Then rest six weeks properly. The Special Mission Division doesn't need you temporarily."

"Minami Section Chief isn't here either, Okada Section Chief is currently acting in all affairs, I heard Kashiwagi Keichō also collapsed." Kai Toru paused, very dejected: "Am I dragging the team down? Damn it! What's going on?"

Uesugi Muneyuki glanced at him, didn't answer, just pulled a manga magazine from the bag and threw it on his bed: "Look at this. Better than thinking useless things."

"Now I don't even have the mood to look at this————" Kai Toru said instinctively.

Then he saw on the magazine cover "Mizuryu Kei" and "Takeda Hiromitsu," plus "Oda Non."

"Thank you, Uesugi-san! I will definitely study it well!"

In the second hospital room lay Meng Shao Zhi.

His right arm hung in a triangular bandage, shoulder wrapped in thick bandages, face still had several abrasions not fully faded.

He leaned on a stack of pillows, left hand still flipping through the police's "Official Disaster Determination," seeing Uesugi Muneyuki enter, he instinctively tried to sit up, but Uesugi Muneyuki pressed him back with a gesture.

"I heard the doctor say, right shoulder dislocation plus humerus fracture, right?" Uesugi Muneyuki placed the energy bar on his table:

"

"Power rack, Asuka gave me."

"Sorry————there are also two ribs with minor fractures." Meng Shao Zhi used his left hand to touch his chest, still shaken: "But better than Kai Senpai, I at least can still move my left hand."

"You can still read, means injury isn't serious." Uesugi Muneyuki didn't say more.

Meng lowered his head to glance at the textbook cover, corner of mouth twitched slightly: "Uesugi Mr., this is my first real combat. I found I couldn't do anything. When that person rushed over, my baton hit him like hitting a wall."

Uesugi Muneyuki was silent for a while, then reached out and lightly patted his uninjured left shoulder: "You did what you could. If you hadn't swung that baton, he might not have paused two more seconds at the door. Those two seconds gave Eirina the chance to cut in."

"You did well, Meng Shao Zhi, you know, I originally didn't really want to take you in." Uesugi Muneyuki tugged at the corner of his mouth: "But — you made me realize one thing, that many times, people like you aren't lacking the will to act, but don't know what they can do."

Meng Shao Zhi sharply lifted his head, his eyes holding a complex feeling of being struck by those words and not knowing how to respond: "Uesugi-san! You, you are simply my Goujian Liu Bang Yang Jian and Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"Really? Actually I am Liu Xiu Li Shimin Zhao Kuangyin eh!" Uesugi Muneyuki laughed: "Rest well, leave the rest to me, you rest well, if anything I'll take it, you repay me with national service, I will repay you with national service! Meng Shao Zhi, you are my Cao Bin Xu Da Tu Hai Fukang'an!"

Uesugi-san, you understand me!

Meng Shao Zhi's tears streamed down then.

And when Uesugi Muneyuki came out, he happened to meet Kashiwagi Misa and Yamada Nanase at the door.

These two clerical officers also came, among them Kashiwagi Misa eagerly shared Lao Ren's injury with Uesugi Muneyuki.

Lao Ren's injuries this round are severe.

Back muscles torn, groin muscles torn, right wrist joint dislocated, left hand has two finger phalanges fractured, Lao Ren lying on the hospital bed, upper body bare, back covered with several large muscle effect patches, looks like a half-finished puzzle.

"During this time, please trouble Uesugi-san to take more care of our Ren." Kashiwagi Misa's face showed uncontainable excitement, she bowed deeply to Uesugi Muneyuki.

"I will." Uesugi Muneyuki nodded, he noticed Kashiwagi Misa's face showed uncontainable longing.

Lao Ren collapsed!!!

So, who set it up?

Beside, Yamada Nanase wanted to speak but held back, however this widow is extremely scheming, she knew this wasn't the place to talk, so she didn't say more, just signaled with her eyes to Kashiwagi Misa, Kashiwagi Misa quickly stepped back, no longer entangled.

Uesugi Muneyuki then went to see Eirina.

Ikeda Erena's injuries are the lightest.

Her hospital room is at the end of the hallway, last room, when Uesugi Muneyuki entered, she was sitting by the bed organizing her things

Eirina changed into a light gray sports long-sleeve and a pair of dark training pants, hair tied in a ponytail, face only has a few small abrasions, right wrist wrapped with a circle of elastic bandage.

Seeing Uesugi Muneyuki enter, she stood up, eyes instantly bright: "Muneyuki? How's it going?"

"Okada's side is still interrogating, not that fast." Uesugi Muneyuki wryly shook his head: "Supposedly Vikram remained silent, while US Forces Japan Commander General Zakari sent two US soldiers to observe throughout, India's Magic Flute Old Immortal even demanded Vikram's extradition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is negotiating."

"Kalarippayattu." Ikeda Erena pouted and said.

"What?"

"It's Kalarippayattu, an ancient Indian martial art, he clearly practiced that." Ikeda Erena was very unconvinced: "Otherwise I would have definitely beaten him down, and there wouldn't have been all those later troubles."

"It's not your fault, that guy — he's basically the Ganges Superman, bullets don't scare him, he's already not a normal human." Uesugi Muneyuki smiled: "Master, you've already done what you should do — the rest is up to me, as for you, just rest well and, by the way, prepare to think seriously about — your promotion."

"Promotion?!" Ikeda Erena's eyes widened: "I — I can still get promoted?"

Ikeda Erena is still under 29 this year, and she's already an Assistant Police Inspector!

Frankly, a female officer in the non-career track reaching Police Sergeant at 30 and Assistant Police Inspector at 38 is already considered rapid promotion.

"You handle the fighting, I'll handle your promotion." Uesugi Muneyuki kissed Ikeda Erena on the lips: "Leave the rest to me."

"Mm!" Ikeda Erena's cheeks flushed as she kissed Uesugi Muneyuki back, seeing him off.

Is the Japanese police force really that dark?

Isn't it always been bright?

Ikeda Erena sat on the bed, happily thinking.

When Uesugi Muneyuki came out, Kai Toru's father Kai Mineaki was walking from the other end of the hallway, followed by Kai's wife.

Kai Mineaki is nearly sixty this year, with a proper posture, wearing a dark gray suit, tie neatly knotted, expression calm but with obvious worry.

He walked to Kai Toru's hospital room door, glanced inside, then turned around, his gaze pausing on Uesugi for a moment, then he slightly bowed his head in greeting.

From the other end of the hallway came footsteps — Asō Kōta's parents had arrived.

Asō Kōta's father Asō Yūtarō is the president of the Kyushu Economic Federation, solid build, round face, wearing a dark blue business casual suit, looking like he just rushed over from some economic forum site.

Asō Kōta's mother Asō Emiko is the president of the Japanese Red Cross Society, slender build, gentle demeanor, wearing a light gray suit dress, holding an insulated bag in her hand.

The two walked to Asō Kōta's hospital room door, saw Uesugi Muneyuki, and both stopped in their tracks.

"My son has always been under your care, Uesugi-kun." Asō Yūtarō slightly bowed.

"He, Kai Toru, has always caused you trouble, Uesugi-san." Kai Mineaki bowed even deeper, and behind him Kai's wife held her bag, bending down: "Truly, I am endlessly grateful."

"No, if thanks are due, it's me." Uesugi Muneyuki instead bowed to these two parents: "Countless words, gratitude"

Active duty, fighting on the front lines are them, and bravely battling criminals are also them, whereas I've always been in the rear, they themselves did what they should do, they take pride in being members of the Special Mission Division, and I also take pride in them!

"I rather want to thank you, for entrusting them to me." Uesugi Muneyuki bowed deeply: "Thank you."

Kai Mineaki and Asō Yūtarō exchanged a glance, tears welling in their eyes.

They had seen how useless their own child was before, but after following Uesugi Muneyuki, not to mention saving the emperor in the Imperial Palace Bombing Case, there was also Kai Toru, who was suspected of being let off by Uesugi Muneyuki in the Dark Knight case.

Even Asō Kōta, who had always done nothing, made a big splash in this nationwide live broadcast!

"If thanks are really due, you two should thank Ikeda Erena instead — if not for her — you two might have faced mortal danger." Uesugi Muneyuki added casually.

No merit surpasses saving the lord.

This is what truly moves them.

Indeed, Kai Mineaki and Asō Yūtarō's faces changed.

Asō Emiko glanced into the hospital room, then her gaze fell on Ikeda Erena standing at the door of the opposite ward.

She looked for two seconds, then walked over, stood before Ikeda Erena and bowed her head: "Miss Ikeda, thank you for saving my son."

Ikeda Erena quickly stood up, unsure how to respond, just gave a slight bow: " — It's my duty."

Kai Mineaki also glanced toward Ikeda Erena.

He always maintains composure, his expression showing no obvious emotional change, but he deliberately walked to Ikeda Erena, stopped, then reached out and firmly patted her shoulder.

No extra words, but the force was heavy.

Ikeda Erena was somewhat unaccustomed, but still forced herself to nod.

Asō Yūtarō also walked over, similarly patting her other shoulder; when the two fathers' hands landed on her shoulders in succession, Ikeda Erena felt uncomfortable being so close to other men, merely nodding at the two elders.

Afterward, the two fathers went to see their sons.

Between the Kai father and son it was awkward, Kai Mineaki merely said lightly: "Again showing off."

Kai Toru coldly said: "Don't bother me."

Afterward, father and son fell silent for a while, the father only able to continue: "In short, rest well, don't think too much, I'll have someone watch over Emiko's side, this matter — you also count as learning a lesson, you need to know there are people beyond people and heavens beyond heaven."

"I know — " Kai Toru finally said awkwardly, then quietly slipped several magazines into his pillow

below: "Anything else?"

Meanwhile, the Asō father and son were different.

Asō Kōta spent the whole time bragging: "I was there when Vikram was caught, I commanded the melee on site," Asō Yūtarō just smiled and nodded, this father-son pair obviously has a good relationship.

About twenty minutes later, the two fathers left the hospital with their respective wives.

The hallway returned to silence.

Uesugi Muneyuki stayed in the hospital for about another half hour, confirmed everyone's condition and follow-up treatment arrangements, then left through the main gate.

Until that evening, Watanabe Eiji sent a message.

"Muneyuki, regarding Ikeda Erena's promotion proposal, just received, planning to promote Ikeda Erena from Assistant Police Inspector to Police Inspector. Non-career track, twenty-eight years old, eight years on the force. This speed is nearly twenty years faster than I expected!"

Uesugi Muneyuki couldn't help but shake his head and wryly smile: "Father, can female officers in the non-career track really reach Police Inspector at 48?"

"Very rare, extremely rare, but — I've already approved it. Have her come to the National Police Agency tomorrow." Watanabe Eiji said meaningfully over the phone: "No choice, several influential noblewomen have called me."

"As everyone hopes."

"Indeed, as everyone hopes!"
