Chapter 150: , A Special Report

The University of Tokyo, once named Tokyo Kaisei School, Tokyo University, Imperial University, and finally changed its name back to the University of Tokyo after the war, is the highest-level and top-tier institution of higher learning in Japan. At least 15 Japanese Prime Ministers have walked out of it, and most of the elites in Japanese upper-class society come from Todai.

As the number one in the country, number one among national universities, and one of the academic centers in Asia, Todai's status in Japan is undoubtedly very high. Even in a historical period after the US forces withdrew after the war, the entire Japanese government and society were actually managed by civil servants. The Cabinet ministers and even the Prime Minister were only responsible for formulating policies, and the specific implementation almost entirely relied on the civil servant leaders under them.

At that time, every cabinet minister had an "Administrative Vice-Minister" under him. As the pinnacle of civil servants, the Administrative Vice-Minister was approximately equal to the rank of Superintendent General, and they were the actual helmsmen of administrative agencies.

Cabinet ministers changed at will, but the terms of Administrative Vice-Ministers were often very long. Often, the ministers changed four or five times, but the Administrative Vice-Ministers remained unchanged. They were the actual helmsmen of various administrative departments and the elites who truly understood the operation of the entire system. At the same time, an Administrative Vice-Minister would be "re-employed" as Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary after retirement, responsible for presiding over the "Administrative Vice-Minister Meeting."

The "Administrative Vice-Minister Meeting" was often held one day before the formal cabinet meeting. In the past era, this meeting was considered the true highest decision-making meeting. They could decide what bills the Prime Minister and ministers could read, what "guidance opinions" they had, and how to implement them.

So this group of Administrative Vice-Ministers were the actual managers of Japan, and that Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary was the "Shadow Prime Minister."

So, what does this have to do with Todai?

The answer is very simple: more than 80% of this group of Administrative Vice-Ministers graduated from Todai.

Times have changed, and the times have changed. Since the incident where Prime Minister Hosokawa was completely sidelined, politicians finally made up their minds to reform the civil servant management system. The power of the Administrative Vice-Minister system was constantly reduced and finally died out. Politicians spent more than ten years to finally regain power from the civil servants.

However, at least 40% of these politicians still come from Todai.

From this, it can be seen how deep and strong Todai's social influence has penetrated. To this day, in the financial industry, manufacturing industry, medical world, politics and business, Todai people have cultivated deeply and combined closely, which should not need to be said.

One of the extremely important reasons why the Yonezawa Uesugi clan could still live quite comfortably after donating most of their property and being hit by the iron fist of the Tokyo side for asking for the people is: Grandpa Uesugi Kuninori is a Todai professor!

A criminal investigation division head of a police station, barely famous in the local civil servant sequence, but in front of a Todai professor, he is nothing!

The person who came to report the case was Tsuda Daisuke, a biology professor at the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Tokyo, 54 years old. He came to the Motofuji Police Station accompanied by his daughter Tsuda Emi.

Terai, the head of the Criminal Investigation Division, didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly went to call the police station chief, but was stopped by Professor Tsuda. Under Professor Tsuda's repeated requests, Terai sat on half of his butt reluctantly.

Missing person, Tsuda Takako, 50 years old.

"May I ask Professor Tsuda, is she missing?" Terai asked cautiously.

"Hmm, I haven't been able to contact my wife for three consecutive days." Professor Tsuda looked tired and said urgently: "On the morning of the 7th, I woke up from the bed and found that my wife was gone."

"The morning of the 7th, is it?" Terai looked at the calendar and found that today was May 10.

It has been more than three days since she went missing.

Also, if an adult goes missing, it will not be filed for investigation within 24 hours.

"Hmm, we can't contact mother no matter what, so we chose to report the case." Professor Tsuda's daughter took the initiative to say: "At first, we thought mother went out for something, but we couldn't contact her no matter what."

"So that's how it is." Terai still felt a bit strange. He then asked: "May I ask... Professor Tsuda, and Miss, do you know anything about Mrs. Tsuda's leaving without saying goodbye?"

Professor Tsuda was silent for a long time after hearing this, and cast his gaze at his daughter: "You say it."

Tsuda Emi was very embarrassed and lowered her head: "Because... I wanted to study the dentistry major at Keio University, and I had a quarrel with mother."

Professor Tsuda simply told Terai that his daughter had repeated for two years and finally got into Keio University, but she wanted to study the dentistry major in the medical department. For this reason, Mrs. Tsuda and her daughter had an extremely fierce quarrel.

Keio University medical department dentistry major entrance requires 2 million yen, the first year tuition is 5 million yen, the second to sixth year tuition is 4 million yen per year, facility fees, textbook fees, experimental fees are easily over 1 million yen per year, plus the expensive living expenses in Tokyo, as well as various miscellaneous fees, entrance fees, and activities in the school, the daughter needs mother to prepare 55 million-60 million yen.

(Keio University medical department course work is very heavy, so don't even think about work-study. If you fail one subject in the final exam, you will fail the whole subject and repeat the grade directly, paying an extra year of miscellaneous fees plus living expenses, starting at 6 million yen.)

Mrs. Tsuda was unwilling to take out so much money. She thought that her daughter would get married anyway, so why study medicine? Study the nursing medical department, the tuition fee is only 1 million yen per year and there are subsidies, and it will be done in 15 million in five years.

"So that's how it is. Even for a Todai professor, 60 million yen is not a small amount. It is understandable that a quarrel broke out." Terai clicked his tongue secretly. He gets about 6.8 million yen a year. According to this standard, he would have to eat and drink nothing for 9 years to afford a child to study dentistry at Keio!

Idiot! Todai professor's family is rich!

"I'm sorry to let you know such bad things. It's my willfulness. We had a fierce quarrel that night, and mother left without saying goodbye the next morning," Tsuda Emi said seriously: "Can you please help?"

"... The situation is like this. I'm sorry to add trouble to you." Professor Tsuda was also somewhat dejected: "Please pay more attention, I beg you."

"May I ask if there is anything you can say about Mrs. Tsuda's whereabouts?" Terai continued to ask cautiously.

"My wife's whereabouts are uncertain. Once she has a whim, she likes to travel abroad. Sometimes she likes to go to Thailand, the Philippines, and the Maldives for vacation, sometimes she likes to go to Paris, New York, and Milan for shopping, and sometimes she will suddenly want to go to Hokkaido for skiing or go to Beppu for hot springs." Professor Tsuda said somewhat helplessly: "We don't know where she went. Maybe she is tasting black pork in Jeju Island right now."

"So that's how it is."

Terai respectfully sent Professor Tsuda and his daughter away.

"Is this really okay?" Terai had an idea: "Professor Tsuda came to the police station to report the case in person, and his daughter looked very worried. Obviously, she knew that our police station would not start an investigation into non-criminal missing persons at all, so she chose to reveal her identity as a Todai professor and came to the police station to report the case in person!"

"That's right, it's just that adult missing persons are not filed for investigation within 24 hours." The subordinate still didn't understand.

"Who knows if this matter is related to a criminal case?" Terai found that he was really a genius!

There is only one truth!

Professor Tsuda was hesitant and dejected, and his daughter's expression was earnest and her words were urgent. Obviously, she knew that our police station would not start an investigation into non-criminal missing persons at all, so she chose to reveal her identity as a Todai professor and came to the police station to report the case in person!

Obviously, he hoped that we could help investigate, but it was not easy to say it directly.

Also, such a noble person, how could he be embarrassed to open his mouth in person?

This is a great merit! You know, from the Superintendent General of the Metropolitan Police Department Watanabe Eiji downwards, a large group of career track elites are Todai graduates!

If we can help Professor Tsuda find his wife, the entire Motofuji Police Station can not only raise its eyebrows and exhale, but he might also have the opportunity to be transferred to the headquarters.

Although the difficulty of transferring from a local branch to the Metropolitan Police Department is very great, it is not impossible. Didn't you see that the notorious female Police Sergeant Ikeda Erena, who stinks in the police world, was transferred to the headquarters because of a series of excellent performances and showing her face in the live broadcast, and was favored by Uesugi's little brother?

This is a case involving a Todai professor!

"I will go to the Metropolitan Police Department in person to report this matter to the newly appointed First Investigation Division Chief Oshima, and let the Metropolitan Police Department intervene to investigate this matter." Terai was full of confidence.

Although it looks like just an ordinary missing person case, but, that is Todai!

What era is it? Now our Japan is a modern society where everyone is equal, just Todai people are more equal than others!

On the same day, morning.

"Then I'm going out." Uesugi Muneyuki, wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, said to the house with a smile.

A pair of small, white, and tender jade feet wearing slippers stood at the door. When seeing the man about to go out, Saito Asuka showed a brilliant smile and said happily: "Mr. Uesugi, are you going out?"

The sweet voice was soft and moving, as light and pleasant as an oriole crying in the valley.

Uesugi Muneyuki looked down and saw the girl standing in front of him, her rounded cheeks white and red, with a faint blush, her slender willow eyebrows like distant mountains, her small nose rounded and crystal clear, and a pair of watery big eyes looking at him deeply.

The thin and barren figure was wearing the Tsukuba University High School uniform for the spring semester, and the girl's pure and slender neck was faintly visible. The slender waist was bound by a pleated skirt, looking even more slender. Under the student uniform skirt that covered her thighs was a pair of fair and slender beautiful legs. The small jade feet in the home-style slippers revealed ten little silkworm toes.

A pair of small, delicate, silk-stockinged small feet were wrapped in semi-enclosed home-style slippers. Through the hazy 20D ultra-thin pantyhose on the toes, ten rounded little toes were clearly visible. Coupled with the small feet that could be held in one hand and had a beautiful shape, it made people want to take a bite.

Looking up along the slender ankles, Saito Asuka's thin, slender, and bony silk-stockinged beautiful legs stood quietly in front of Uesugi Muneyuki.

"I might eat outside tonight, Ashu, you don't have to wait for me." Uesugi Muneyuki rubbed the girl's little head and said with a smile.

"I know, Mr. Uesugi." The girl was very respectful and enjoyed being rubbed on her little head by Uesugi Muneyuki, bowing to indicate: "Be careful on the way~"

Looking up from her slender ankles, Saito Asuka's thin, long, and bony-lined beautiful legs in silk stockings stood quietly before Uesugi Muneyuki.

"I might have to eat out tonight, Ashu, you don't need to wait for me." Uesugi Muneyuki rubbed the girl's little head and said with a smile.

"I understand, Uesugi-san." The girl, very respectfully and also enjoying being petted on the head by Uesugi Muneyuki, bowed and signaled: "Take care on your way~"
