Chapter 154: ...completely exploded!

The next day at the same time, that morning, Sakata Bridge Tower.

"Does that feel good?"

Uesugi Muneyuki squeezed his right hand slightly. His right hand was pressed against Erii's smooth, jade-like lower abdomen, secretly drawing something; a bright red Aizen Seal was already more than half finished.

"It feels good~" Erii's miraculously plump and supple body was pressed tightly against his chest. The woman had nothing on but a pair of pantyhose. The tall beauty turned over in her sleepy haze, greedily hugging the man's neck, eyes closed as she sought his lips: "One more time?"

"Erii!" Uesugi Muneyuki gave the woman's round moon a slap, not in the best of moods, signaling that enough was enough.

Erii hadn't intended to pay much mind to that; she wanted to continue somewhat stubbornly, but having been interrupted by Uesugi Muneyuki, she was forced to open her eyes and noticed the sound outside that was being made deliberately loud.

Saito Nanami was making breakfast.

"I can skip breakfast today!" Ikeda Erena said, not in the best of moods. She rubbed her face against Uesugi Muneyuki's chest, humming with a hint of complaint: "I didn't ask her to make it!"

"Alright, get up." Uesugi Muneyuki had played at building a snowman for a while, but he still signaled that the two of them could get up.

"No way!" Erii was very unwilling to be broken free from Uesugi Muneyuki; she turned around and hugged him from behind, greedily rubbing against his back for another minute before getting up reluctantly.

She had spent the night at Sakata Bridge yesterday, and the two of them had been intimate several times. Erii's legs were weak and her knees were shaking that morning, but she was still infinitely greedy for the time spent with Uesugi Muneyuki.

Uesugi Muneyuki didn't allow her to spend the night at Sakata Bridge every day. He wouldn't give her the keys to the house and always proposed some test conditions. Erii could feel that she was like a donkey, and the key was the carrot hanging in front of her head; Uesugi Muneyuki was using this to play her.

She knew it, but this routine was still effective, and very effective at that!

She just wanted to move in, she just wanted to be with him every day, letting him fill every inch of her life.

She liked being played by him; she knew he wouldn't harm her. She was a bit stupid, but she tried hard to cooperate with him.

Getting up, Ikeda Erena changed into her standard gray ladies' suit. The standard policewoman field attire of suit trousers made her figure look increasingly perky and plump under Uesugi Muneyuki's nourishment, and there wasn't a trace of sagging or spreading. Daily exercise also made her abdominal muscles very firm. The suit highlighted the lines of her toned waist, and a pair of slender, beautiful legs were wrapped in ultra-thin flesh-colored silk stockings. Under the cuffs of the trousers, the silk stockings wrapping her ankles shone with a delicate luster under the lights, making the tall beauty's figure even more alluring. With her beautiful silk-clad feet stepped into slippers, Erii proudly showed Uesugi Muneyuki how perfectly her leg shape matched the silk stockings, and then went out to eat with him.

Outside, Saito Nanami was wearing a sky-blue dress and a white apron, cooking. The girl's figure was delicate and her stature slender. A head of pitch-black, oily, shoulder-length hair hung behind her head and was tied up. Under the dress, her slender, thin legs were wrapped in fresh and delicious white 40D velvet pantyhose. A pair of small white-silk-clad feet stepped into slippers, her toes slightly on tiptoe, maintaining the balance between the pot and her own body.

"Mr. Uesugi, please enjoy."

The girl very seriously served Uesugi Muneyuki a standard Japanese breakfast—grilled Pacific saury, miso soup, rice, vegetable salad, and sausage with fried egg.

Since becoming a housekeeper, the girl's skills had become better and better.

Then, the girl very seriously served Ikeda Erena a prepared breakfast—a bowl of claypot udon noodles. The noodle soup was even still boiling, with steam rising to the sky!

"Hey, how do you expect me to eat this!" Saito Nanami's skills were naturally beyond reproach, but Erii couldn't find a way to start at all. She picked up the noodles and blew on them for a full twenty seconds, but still got burned.

"Who knows." Saito Nanami sat on the other side, pouting, black energy rising on her small face, thinking who cares about you; if it weren't for Mr. Uesugi asking me to make one for you too, who would bother with you, you tall, fat woman!

So noisy, do you still want people to sleep?!

Coming over in the morning too?

Uesugi Muneyuki couldn't help but feel a bit amused watching the two women fighting. In his heart, Erii was the best bed partner and a very good bodyguard, a barely qualified assistant; Nanami was a cute little wild cat kept at home and an excellent housekeeper. Uesugi Muneyuki felt very sorry for her, but had no other thoughts about her barren figure and overly childish temperament.

Uesugi Muneyuki and Nanami easily finished their delicious breakfast, and while Erii was still blowing continuously, the man's phone rang.

It was Miss Minami.

"It's bad, Uesugi!" Miss Minami was very anxious as soon as she spoke: "What did you say to Inspector Kosaka that day?"

"What?" Uesugi Muneyuki answered the phone, also reacting quickly: "That case of the missing Todai professor's wife?"

"Yes!" Miss Minami said urgently: "There's a problem with this case! I don't know why, but the inside story of the case has leaked, and it leaked to the US side!"

"Now, the US side has started to pay attention to this missing person case, and because it involves cross-border fund issues within the research group's project, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the US side has lodged a strong protest against us!"

"Sigh, I can't explain it clearly on the phone, Uesugi! Come to the Metropolitan Police Department quickly, now!" Miss Minami's voice was filled with unprecedented panic: "The Metropolitan Police Department is in trouble this time!"

The inside story of the Todai case leaked?!

Uesugi Muneyuki didn't say a word, immediately called Ikeda Erena, and rushed to Sakuradamon.

The tall beauty really didn't get to eat breakfast today.

Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters, Sakuradamon, First Conference Room.

All high-level officials of the Metropolitan Police Department at the rank of Police Superintendent and above were present.

"Baka!!!"

Superintendent General Watanabe Eiji was uncharacteristically losing his composure. He slammed the table hard, his whole person furious, even a bit panicked.

The Todai professor's wife missing case had exploded!

It was clearly just an internal investigation within the Metropolitan Police Department, but the inside story of the case had leaked outside for some reason!

And if it were just Japan itself, Todai had plenty of ways to make newspapers and media shut up, but the inside story of the case had leaked to the US side!

The wife of the professor leading the cross-border project in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology had gone missing, suspected of absconding with money, and had repeatedly transferred money to private overseas accounts before disappearing. Professor William of MIT subsequently questioned the flow of funds for the project, especially the large amount of overseas research, and this matter quickly attracted the attention of the US side!

Todai could block the mouths of Japanese media, but it couldn't block the mouths of the US!

This matter was huge. After the Yomiuri Shimbun English Edition published this news today, it quickly attracted the attention of the whole society. People's eyes started to focus on Todai, and if this major cross-border project went wrong, it would not only be a huge blow to the reputation of Japan and Todai, but the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US was also very tough after learning about it, actively requesting FBI intervention.

In an instant, the Metropolitan Police Department exploded.

The case was reported at a local branch, then reported to the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. Division Chief Ooyama passed it down to Inspector Kosaka of the First Unit. In the whole process, hundreds of police officers were involved. Even during the investigation, the police of the First Unit asked surrounding students, and the spread of the news spread extremely fast among Todai teachers and students. By the time the Metropolitan Police Department wanted to find out who leaked the secret, it was already a mess!

Naturally, the most suspicious were the Motofuji Police Station and the First Investigation Division. The Motofuji Police Station tried its best to deny it, and for the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, even if the First Investigation Division leaked it, it absolutely could not be admitted at this time.

This would completely destroy the honor of the Metropolitan Police Department!

Watanabe Eiji had originally been living a wonderful life of peace and prosperity, but suddenly he was hit by a big one that made his head mushy.

Now, what to do?!

If this atomic bomb fell, it would not only destroy his career, but it would be enough to blow up every high-level official of the Metropolitan Police Department present today! And blow up half of Tokyo!

Because Todai was equal to half of Tokyo's political and business circles!

However, before Watanabe Eiji could think about how to deal with this matter, the phone rang.

"Superintendent General Watanabe..." Inspector Nanbu Clan Clan, the successor to the Superintendent General's dedicated driver, put down the phone with trembling hands.

"Cabinet Chief Secretary Onoda Kimiaki wants you to go over."

"Go now."

Twenty minutes later, Nagatacho, Cabinet Office.

Cabinet Chief Secretary Onoda Kimiaki sat calmly behind the desk, reviewing documents.

Outside, there were two "dong dong~" sounds, and the master of 80,000 police, Superintendent General Watanabe Eiji, carefully pushed open the door: "Your Excellency Chief Secretary?"

"Ah~ Eiji! You're here?" Cabinet Chief Secretary Onoda looked up from the pile of documents: "Please sit, you must be very busy with such a thing happening, right? I hope you don't mind me calling you from Sakuradamon specifically."

Watanabe Eiji's forehead was full of sweat. Facing the expressionless Chief Secretary Onoda, the Superintendent General's legs were a bit soft. He moved his steps slowly, feeling hot and cold, and quickly reached out to signal: "It's okay, it's okay."

"I specifically invited you over because I'm a bit worried about whether what I'm going to say to you can be kept secret." Chief Secretary Onoda raised his right eyelid, his eyebrows twitching: "After all, I don't have an overseas account."

"Uh uh, I'm very sorry that such a thing happened and caused you trouble." Watanabe Eiji was trembling, only daring to sit on half his buttocks: "The matter of the overseas account is pure nonsense."

"Oh, very good, which means the news didn't leak from your Metropolitan Police Department?" Chief Secretary Onoda seemed quite satisfied with this answer and lowered his head to process documents again.

Watanabe Eiji swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He gave an awkward laugh, licked his lips, panted in small breaths, and stared at the floor: "Actually, I don't know if it was leaked by someone from the headquarters, but..."

"But? Is?" The Cabinet Chief Secretary looked up instantly. His eyes widened suddenly, his head tilted 30 degrees to the right, the fire of Avici Hell hidden in his eyes released slightly, expressionless, only the eyebrow above his left eye raised, making an inquiry.

No angry expression, yet like a Prajna ghost, chilling to the bone.

"I don't know either. The matter was reported by the Motofuji Police Station to the First Investigation Division. Originally, such missing person cases were just registered and not processed. Terai of the Motofuji Police Station saw that the other party was a Todai professor, so he reported it to the First Division. Ooyama saw it was a Todai professor, so he arranged for Kosaka of the First Unit to investigate." Watanabe Eiji stammered out the truth: "I didn't know about the whole process!"

"Eiji, this is a major project of US-Japan cooperation, a cross-border project!"

"I know." Watanabe Eiji answered very bitterly.

"Eiji, this will destroy our alma mater! Todai will be disgraced because of your mistake!"

"I know." Watanabe Eiji answered very dryly: "But... I don't know. The subordinates previously thought that Professor Tsuda and his daughter came to report the case in person to make the Metropolitan Police Department pay attention, so they reported it level by level!"

"So that's it. Eiji, I'm not blaming you either, I don't know the inside story." Chief Secretary Onoda was noncommittal about this: "But as Cabinet Chief Secretary, I must deal with the inquiries from the US Ambassador to Japan. He is very suspicious of the ability of the Japanese police. If the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, the FBI will come from across the sea."

"Of course I also hope to solve the case as soon as possible." Watanabe Eiji was already numb at this time.

If the FBI intervened and used this as an excuse to check the various accounts of Todai and the US, then it's over!

"I think 'hope' might not be enough. Do you intend for me to reply to the Ambassador to Japan like this? I 'hope'?" The Cabinet Chief Secretary was expressionless: "This kind of vocabulary will make the Cabinet Ministers and the President doubt whether you, the Superintendent General, are truly reliable."

"I will do my best!" The sweat on Watanabe Eiji's forehead flowed down his eye sockets: "I will send the Special Mission Unit, the Uesugi who solved the Fuji TV case and the Chiba case last time."

"Very good, all of us Todai people hope that you can prove yourself once again." Chief Secretary Onoda smiled and nodded: "Of course I personally always believe in you, you naturally have your ways."

"Of course, thank you for your trust, Your Excellency Chief Secretary." Watanabe Eiji's back was completely wet. He said with a trembling voice: "I will set up a Special Investigation Headquarters and solve the case before the FBI arrives."

"You always make me feel reliable, Eiji." Cabinet Chief Secretary Onoda finally showed a satisfied look, and then said inadvertently: "By the way, I just talked to the president of our alma mater, Komiyama, on the phone. You should understand that in order to keep our alma mater as evergreen as the sky, we don't want to involve other people or other things in the investigation process, right?"

"Of course! Of course..." Watanabe Eiji thought of Uesugi Muneyuki's personality and felt his heart shrink into a ball, then pause here, but he still had to keep smiling: "Just... discuss the matter."

"Very good, thank you for coming." Onoda Kimiaki said meaningfully: "Commissioner Kaneko is about to retire. You shouldn't intend to retire so soon, right, Eiji?"

"Yes, I am honored to serve the people..."

Watanabe Eiji didn't even know how he walked out of Nagatacho.

The only thing he knew was that if this matter couldn't be handled well, everything he had now would completely explode!

BOOM!
