Chapter 203: Tokyo Weightlifting Champion

That evening, Uesugi Muneyuki appeared very silent, as if he had no heart for doing anything.

Shimakawa Ren was the same; after learning the truth of the matter, the fiancé brother immediately stated that he was not actually close with Aonuma Shingo, that the two only had some business dealings and that he had only subcontracted a portion of the construction work to him for this matter, and that he had used the Sacred Separator to Justice Cutter this domestic abuser.

However, Shimakawa Ren immediately called over several brothers from that evening's drinking party; these brothers were either rich or noble, and together they pooled ten million yen to give to Mrs. Aonuma and her daughter, expressing their apologies.

Shimakawa Ren was just a bit of a playboy, but he was not bad at heart; according to his own words, since Aonuma had borrowed money from them for the short term, he naturally had to show some gesture, so they drank and called Aonuma over to keep them company and pay the bill, and Department Manager Aonuma's way of showing his sincerity was to drink fiercely, so Shimakawa and the others took the opportunity to force drinks on him, happy to watch him get drunk and make a fool of himself.

Yes, it was Aonuma himself who liked to force drinks on himself; he just liked the drunken state of being numb and slightly losing consciousness, then going home to commit brutal domestic violence, waking his wife and daughter from deep sleep to complain about how hard his life was, and then desperately finding faults to start beating them.

And when it reached Aonuma's mouth, it turned into Shimakawa and the others forcing him to drink, and this was not even a lie.

What a piece of human scum!

Uesugi Muneyuki also gave the 300,000 yen consultation fee he had received from Nippon Life to Mrs. Aonuma and said sorry.

He still did not think he was wrong; a traffic accident is a traffic accident, it cannot be ruled a suicide.

But for the first time, he realized that even if it is a Dead Soul, even if the Dead Soul brought by the Contract Power cannot lie, they can still mislead one to a certain extent.

In Mr. Aonuma's view, he certainly loved his family very much; he let his wife and daughter live in a Tower Mansion, went to Sam's Club every week to buy food and daily necessities, wore designer clothes and used designer appliances, and took them out to travel and soak in Beppu hot springs every year—doesn't this count as love?

One can only say that different people have different definitions of love, and different people have different definitions of "fairness."

That evening, none of them had an appetite; only Takeda Hironobu of Nippon Life was triumphantly pouring drinks like crazy; having done too many insurance claims, he was already numb and indifferent to such things; on the contrary, he was very happy that he was able to preserve the 80 million insurance coverage, and seeing Uesugi Muneyuki take out 300,000, he took out an additional 300,000 to compensate Uesugi Muneyuki.

Money, we at the insurance company have plenty of it.

"Sorry, Uesugi, for getting you involved in such a matter and even offending Shinagawa Station." After finishing his meal, Shimakawa Ren took the initiative to reach out to Uesugi Muneyuki to apologize: "Today is on me; I will find another opportunity to formally apologize to you next time."

"You were wrong about today's matter, but I also had problems; sometimes I wonder, does order really represent justice?" Uesugi Muneyuki shook his head with a bitter smile: "Is the truth I uncovered really the truth? In the future, I must take this as a warning, be more cautious, and not listen to one side only."

"Order cannot completely represent justice, but it is already the greatest common divisor of justice." Shimakawa Ren also shook his head: "My parents told me since I was a child that when dealing with people at the bottom, you cannot talk entirely about the law, but everything involving interests must go through formal procedures, isolating danger through order and intermediaries; only this can protect oneself to the greatest extent, Uesugi, you are the same."

Uesugi Muneyuki was noncommittal about this, because for a Minato Ward master like Shimakawa, a construction company department manager with an annual income of around seven million is still a person at the bottom.

But to ordinary people, a construction company department manager like Aonuma with an annual income of 7 million, even if not a rich person, at least counts as middle class.

On the way back, only Watanabe Minami accompanied Uesugi Muneyuki.

Along the way, the conversation between the two was no different from usual.

Miss Minami only expressed regret, and she gave Uesugi Muneyuki a big hug: "You were already great, Uesugi-kun, this matter is not your fault; no one knew that Mr. Aonuma was actually such a person."

"It is my own problem, sorry, for letting you see me make a fool of myself, my Miss Minami." Uesugi Muneyuki held Minami in his arms, his mood recovering slightly.

"Giggle, I'm sorry, I don't have a broad bosom like Ikeda; even if you hold me like this, Muneyuki-kun, you probably won't feel any comfort, right?" Miss Minami suddenly pouted her little mouth and said in a strange tone: "It's a pity that I didn't make Muneyuki-kun feel satisfied; it really is my dereliction of duty as a fiancée!"

"Aren't we not engaged yet?" Uesugi Muneyuki's expression remained normal, thinking that was indeed true.

"That's about the same as being engaged! You wouldn't want to go back on your word now, would you?" Sure enough, Miss Minami's expression changed immediately upon hearing this, she stomped her little leather shoes and said in a flustered rage: "I have already accepted Ikeda and Saito, could it be that you still have women outside? Hmm? Could it be that Mai-senpai of yours? You two wouldn't have reached some consensus behind my back, would you?"

Uesugi Muneyuki was startled, thinking, is this a woman's intuition?

Seeing his expression, Miss Minami also felt heavy in her heart; while maintaining a smile on the surface, a sense of crisis began to permeate her heart, and her gaze could not help but turn to Bai Chuan Mai on the big screen by the roadside.

Compared to her, what advantage could she possibly have?

Thinking carefully, it seemed like none.

She knew very well that this Mai-senpai was not only a genius, but also the Head of the Kanto Shrine Alliance, a graduate of the University of Tokyo, and had both money and power.

And she was only the daughter of the Superintendent General; she could at most inherit one-third of her father's power, and the Superintendent General is not a lifetime position!

That time before Uesugi Muneyuki focused on exams and the Special Mission Unit had not yet been formed, the case she presided over while briefly serving as the chief of the Thirteenth Section of Investigation Division 1 was a mess, which made her realize that she had absolutely no talent for solving cases.

Without Uesugi-kun, I cannot do it alone!

Miss Minami's little hand hidden under her sleeve clenched slightly.

She regretted it a little; she regretted not having discovered Uesugi Muneyuki earlier and letting him be exposed to the public too soon; she regretted letting Uesugi Muneyuki take this case, causing him to feel very uncomfortable now.

If he is uncomfortable, she will be uncomfortable too.

But fortunately, with Mai-senpai's status and beauty, she should give up pestering him after knowing that she is about to get engaged to Muneyuki-kun, right? After all, she is a national star, the Soul Sister, and the dignified Head of the Kanto Shrine Alliance; she should still want to save face.

A flash of triumph crossed Miss Minami's eyes, thinking, you are still acting reserved, but this lady has already firmly captured him!

There are only three months left, as long as everything is stable...

A flash of determination crossed Miss Minami's eyes, and she took the initiative to call out to Uesugi Muneyuki: "Muneyuki-kun?"

"Hmm?" Uesugi Muneyuki stopped his footsteps.

Miss Minami pressed her hands on Uesugi Muneyuki's shoulders, stood on the tips of her black-silk-clad toes inside her little leather shoes, and took the initiative to kiss his lips: "A reward for you!"

"Mmph?!" Uesugi Muneyuki thought, I was forced to kiss again!

Hmm?

Uesugi Muneyuki suddenly remembered the method Mai-senpai told him about guiding the rotation of energy in the other person's body via the Sacral Chakra, and what Ikeda Eirina told him about Miss Minami being weak in some aspects.

He decided to give it a try on Miss Minami.

Hmm?! Miss Minami immediately felt some kind of change in her body, as if something had entered along his lips!

At the same time, Uesugi Muneyuki's pair of hot, large hands also took the opportunity to touch her.

She did not resist, but closed her eyes and acquiesced.

Quickly leave your exclusive mark on this lady's body~

He usually does this to Ikeda, right~

Miss Minami discovered that she was soon unable to think, charging into the world, fighting without regrets.

That day, Uesugi Muneyuki was forced to hire a designated driver to send Miss Minami, who had fainted halfway, home; after returning home, Saito Asuka greeted Uesugi, and after sniffing, she kept looking at him with strange eyes.

Uesugi Muneyuki changed out of his completely soaked suit trousers, feeling both amused and annoyed.

Mai-senpai is right! Master Eirina is right!

————I am the dividing line for trying it out————

June passed in a flash, and July arrived on time, following the scorching sun of the Tokyo summer.

The evil consequences of intervening in the Shinagawa Station case last time began to appear.

The Special Mission Unit began to get busy!

Previously, the Special Mission Unit was merely a newly established, irregular, and non-permanent department, a strange new unit composed of four oddballs: the Superintendent General's daughter, the Metropolitan Police Department's ace, the son of the Financial Services Agency Commissioner, and a career-destroying boss-killer; local stations and the Metropolitan Police Department did not know how to handle them, nor did they dare to act recklessly.

However, from June to July, there were no major cases worth mentioning within the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the Metropolitan Police Department was peaceful; yet, following the time Uesugi Muneyuki intervened in the Shinagawa Station case, the local stations, feeling dissatisfied but helpless, finally understood how to operate!

The headquarters likes to meddle so much? Then we'll let you meddle!

Consequently, local stations began to refrain from taking any action on any case involving a corpse that might be an unnatural death, and they no longer hastily closed cases as suicides as they had before; instead, they proactively requested assistance from the Special Mission Unit! They demanded that Uesugi Muneyuki come to conduct the examination!

Didn't you say not to casually rule things as suicides? Didn't you say we were lazy in our administration?

Fine, then let Forensic Examiner Uesugi be responsible for it.

Whatever the situation is, Forensic Examiner Uesugi will determine it; whatever he rules it to be, that is what it will be; if even he cannot determine it, then we are just a local station, what can we do?

At the same time, a rather malicious situation also emerged.

That is, Tokyo does not just consist of 23 wards.

Besides the 23 wards within the metropolis, Tokyo also has two large parts, which are Tama and the island regions.

Among them, Tama is to the west of Tokyo, with jurisdiction over 26 cities, 3 towns, and 1 village, and its area is twice that of Tokyo's 23 wards!

The island regions include the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands distributed in the sea area south of Tokyo Bay, containing 2 towns and 7 villages, and are also two-thirds the size of the 23 wards.

These regions are naturally also under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department; in the early days, when they did not yet understand the clever use of Uesugi Muneyuki, naturally no one dared to casually request Uesugi Muneyuki to deploy.

But following the precedent set by Shinagawa Station, even when the skeletal remains of a fisherman who had drowned years ago were discovered on Hachijo Island, the local station actually dared to apply to the Metropolitan Police Department for support, hoping that Uesugi Muneyuki would take a ferry to Hachijo Island to check the situation.

And if the Special Mission Unit refused support, these local stations would have an excuse to slack off: "We applied for support, but the Special Mission Unit wouldn't come, so there's nothing we can do; let's just label it as missing person plus suicide!"

Consequently, throughout the entire month of July, Uesugi Muneyuki was busy as a dog, working without a single day off, and examined over 180 corpses by himself.

The entire Tokyo area, including the 23 wards, 26 cities, 5 towns, and 8 villages, was resting on the shoulders of Forensic Examiner Uesugi!

Uesugi Muneyuki himself had not said anything yet, because although he was very tired, he had finally begun to enter the fast lane of collecting "Po," and the amount of Po collected in just one month was almost catching up to the past year.

But the few Forensic Pathologists in the Forensics Division could no longer take it; there were only so many of them in total, yet they had to write over 180 Forensic Autopsy Reports in one month.

They could not stand it anymore!

Soon, bad news came from the Metropolitan Police Department: the Forensic Pathologists of the Forensics Division collectively applied to resign!
