Chapter 310: Madam, You Wouldn't Want Your Husband to be Transferred to the Third Investigation Division, Would You?

The Special Mission Unit was reactivated, and Ishihara Mikoto, who was exhausted to the point of smoking, finally got two days of leave. She found an opportunity to get intimate with Uesugi Muneyuki in a room at the Metropolitan Police Department used for storing discarded furniture, and was then sent home to sleep.

Actually, Uesugi Muneyuki had hoped that Ishihara Mikoto would return to Sakata Bridge with him to rest, but the Forensic Beauty seemed extremely disappointed in marriage and did not want to enter Uesugi Muneyuki's private life again. She was very averse to frequently visiting the Sakata Bridge Tower, usually only going when there was business, and even tried to pick outside locations for meetings with that cheap daughter, Asuka.

Uesugi Muneyuki did not force her; after all, he had once thought he had completely lost Mikoto, and now that she was willing to return to his side, he was already satisfied.

Of course, if she dared to run away again, Uesugi Muneyuki would not intend to let her see the light of day ever again; he meant what he said.

Moreover, as the key fell into Eirina's hands, Ikeda Eirina finally officially moved into the Sakata Bridge Tower. She canceled her apartment in Setagaya, moved all her luggage into Sakata Bridge under Asuka's angry gaze, officially moved into the guest bedroom, and began a shameless and unrestrained life with Uesugi Muneyuki.

What made Eirina most comfortable was that Miss Minami did not intend to move into the Sakata Bridge Tower. She only kept seven or eight sets of clothes in the walk-in closet of the master bedroom because the delicate Miss Minami simply could not handle it; she planned to come to Sakata Bridge only two or three days a week, such as Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday.

So, the rest of the time was for Eirina to enjoy alone!

That evening, Uesugi Muneyuki invited Shimakawa Ren, a Minato Ward bigwig, to have the other party call out Odagiri. Shimakawa Ren agreed quite readily; Odagiri was also a Minato Ward bigwig, and the two families had been family friends since their ancestors' generation. They agreed to meet at 8:00 PM at the Ginza "Kacho" club.

"Ikeda, go back and change into something more formal; today we are going to the Ginza Kacho club," Uesugi Muneyuki said in the car.

"Something more formal?" Ikeda Eirina nodded: "Okay."

In order not to lose face outside, Minami specifically spent money to have several formal business outfits custom-made for Eirina, including an Armani winter navy blue quilted wool coat, with a silk jacquard women's shirt and a high-waisted knee-length straight skirt underneath.

Actually, Ikeda did not know how to buy clothes at all. She had previously only worn professional attire and sportswear. It was only after being with Uesugi that she started buying many clothes according to Uesugi Muneyuki's preferences, but many of those clothes could not be worn out. Now, she finally had Minami helping her pick clothes and had purchased some formal social attire.

The two went home and were intimate for a while, then Uesugi Muneyuki's phone rang.

The call was from an unknown number. Uesugi Muneyuki signaled for Eirina, who was on him, to be quiet, and answered the phone: "Hello, this is Uesugi Muneyuki, who is this?"

"Hello, I am Kashiwagi Meisa. Uesugi-san, are you free?" A polite and magnetic female voice came from the other side of the phone: "May I ask if you have time to talk?"

"Kashiwagi Meisa?" Uesugi Muneyuki thought for a moment: "Are you Section Chief Kashiwagi of the Equipment Management Department of the General Affairs Department?"

"Yes, it is me." On the other side of the phone, Kashiwagi Meisa said very seriously and straightforwardly: "I am Section Chief Kashiwagi Meisa of the Equipment Management Department, and also the wife of Police Inspector Kashiwagi Jin. I have a reason why I must see you no matter what. May I ask if you have time to come out and meet?"

Uesugi Muneyuki looked up at the time; it was about six o'clock in the evening, two hours away from eight o'clock, and judging by the other party's tone, she was determined to meet with him.

It was probably because of Kashiwagi Jin's matter?

Uesugi Muneyuki actually did not want to help Kashiwagi Jin settle this matter, but considering three reasons, he still agreed to Watanabe Eiji's request.

First, to protect Mikoto who performed the second autopsy; second, to help Minami be promoted to Superintendent; third, Kashiwagi Jin did not judge wrong; he was indeed righteous.

In Japanese society, saying words like "have a reason why I must... no matter what" means that the other party has a very important matter to request; otherwise, the subtle and conservative Japanese would absolutely not say such things. This is equivalent to a completely passive and humble posture.

"Okay, but I have something to do at eight o'clock in the evening, so let's try to finish before seven-thirty." Uesugi Muneyuki actually also wanted to see this previous generation's Face of the Metropolitan Police Department. For some reason, although he had been working at the Metropolitan Police Department for a year, the two had never met once.

"Okay, let's meet at the Victoria theme cafe across from Sakuradamon in Chiyoda Ward. Let's meet alone." Kashiwagi Meisa was very nervous in her heart, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke: "There are some things I want to seek your help with, Uesugi-san."

Hanging up the phone, Uesugi Muneyuki reached out and patted Eirina's drum: "Master, go change your clothes."

"Eh? So early?" Eirina hugged his neck with blurred eyes, the tall beauty's eyes looking a bit unhappy: "Isn't there still nearly two hours left?"

"Kashiwagi Meisa has something to find me about; she is the wife of Kashiwagi Jin from the First Division, the one who was the previous generation's Face of the Metropolitan Police Department," Uesugi Muneyuki shook his head and said: "It's probably because of Kashiwagi's matter."

"Alright." Eirina let go of him with some resentment: "Do you want me to go with you?"

"Of course, you are my dear master," Uesugi Muneyuki laughed: "Without you protecting me, I can't do it alone."

"That's more like it." Eirina was happy again immediately.

The two took a shower and changed into formal wear. Eirina drove Uesugi Muneyuki to the cafe across from Sakuradamon. Uesugi Muneyuki thought for a moment and let Eirina wait in the car while he pulled open the cafe door alone.

"Ding-a-ling~" A pleasant sound of wind chimes.

The glass curtain wall filtered the light into amber fluid. When Kashiwagi Meisa stood by the bar island, the sound of the coffee machine's steam happened to crash against the quartz countertop. Two strands of unkempt long hair were pressed by the collar of her ivory turtleneck sweater, the Scottish plaid wool skirt hem cast a straight shadow, and the brown silk stockings stretched out a translucent skin luster at the arch of her foot. Her height of 167cm stood out from the crowd.

"Hello, Uesugi-san!" Kashiwagi Meisa obviously recognized Uesugi Muneyuki immediately. She hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to signal: "Nice to meet you, I am Kashiwagi Meisa."

"Hmm." Uesugi Muneyuki began to look closely at this previous generation's Face of the Metropolitan Police Department: "Hello."

It must be said that although both were called the Face of the Metropolitan Police Department, Kashiwagi Meisa's temperament was vastly different from Watanabe Minami's. Miss Minami's appearance was that of a high-born lady who made people look up to her, while inside she was a free-spirited, lively, and sweet girl.

And Kashiwagi Meisa's appearance was obviously that of a typical mixed-race ice beauty. Her deep facial contours, different from traditional Japanese women, were a bit like Eirina's, but the difference was that inside Eirina's ice-mountain disguise, she was dull and silly, while this woman, Kashiwagi Meisa, gave Uesugi Muneyuki the feeling that there was something else hidden beneath her ice-mountain temperament.

Of course, her measurements were quite different from Eirina's, and like Miss Minami, they were just at a normal level.

At the same time, as a married woman, Kashiwagi Meisa carried a natural air of a domestic, slightly mature woman that ordinary people could not imitate or fake. The ivory turtleneck wool sweater on her upper body perfectly outlined the graceful curves of her small chest and thin waist, and the Scottish-style plaid wool skirt on her lower body fully displayed the flavor of a married woman. Her well-proportioned and slender legs were wrapped in winter-style dark brown silk stockings. Under the night lights after six o'clock, her legs had a warm and moist luster. A pair of jade feet were wearing a pair of seven-centimeter shallow-cut thin-heeled high-heeled shoes, and the backs of her feet were slightly visible under the wrapping of the silk stockings, with the soft and fine silk threads faintly visible.

It seemed that for this meeting, this previous generation's Face of the Metropolitan Police Department had specifically put on makeup, applied purple eyeshadow, and thin cherry lips with shiny lipstick. Her pair of light brown eyes stared at Uesugi Muneyuki. After the ice-mountain mixed-race married woman stared at him for a while, she then said in a soft voice: "Let's go into the private room to talk in detail."

The two came to the private room. Uesugi Muneyuki ordered a latte, and Kashiwagi Meisa ordered a cappuccino. After the waiter brought the two cups of coffee, there was silence in the room for a while.

"Mrs. Kashiwagi, my time is precious," Uesugi Muneyuki said: "It is already 6:50 PM, and I have an appointment at 8:00."

"I..." The previous generation's Face of the Metropolitan Police Department had bright eyes and white teeth, her eyes like snow. She stared fixedly at Uesugi Muneyuki, her body swaying slightly, as if she had used all her strength, and then she said with difficulty: "I, I know this is an excessive request... but, Uesugi-san, please save Kashiwagi, will you?"

"Huh?!" Uesugi Muneyuki's brow immediately furrowed tightly: "Mrs. Kashiwagi, do you know what you are saying?"

"I know Kashiwagi once wronged you, I know Kashiwagi once was at odds with you, but right now... Uesugi-san, you are the only one I can think of. Please, help him, will you?" Kashiwagi Meisa's right hand, with nails trimmed into an oval shape, hovered above the cup handle. The slight trembling of her little finger joint due to emotional agitation was magnified. She said with difficulty: "He, he is actually doing it on purpose..."

"Huh???!!!" Uesugi Muneyuki was confused by Kashiwagi Meisa's words: "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that Kashiwagi Jin, that guy, went to Fujitsu to confront people face-to-face on purpose? He... is he crazy?"

"He... he, he is crazy, but why Ren went crazy is all because of you, Uesugi-san!" Kashiwagi Meisa explained with difficulty: "He, he is jealous of your talent, and he also wants to be like you..."

Kashiwagi Meisa simply told Uesugi Muneyuki about Kashiwagi Jin's thoughts. In short, Kashiwagi Jin, that guy, actually did it on purpose.

If I cannot be famous throughout the world, I will be infamous throughout the world!

I am a lone hero fighting against the system and protecting justice! Not to mention, I did not do anything wrong at all!

Moreover, Kashiwagi Jin originally knew about some of the little tricks between Division Chief Mikasa and the Fujitsu Odagiri father and son, which further strengthened his idea.

Jus! tice!

Uesugi Muneyuki finally learned the inside story of this case: "So that's it. You mean that the Fujitsu Odagiri father and son did indeed have dealings with former Division Chief Mikasa back then?"

"Yes..." Seeing that Uesugi Muneyuki was moved, Kashiwagi Meisa said eagerly: "Ren is really not a bad person. He really wants to contribute to the justice of this headquarters and the citizens, but he was too eager for quick success, which is why this happened. Uesugi-san, please, for the sake of him assisting you in handling the Todai Case and the Yokohama Case, save him once! I... I can give you money!"

After speaking, Kashiwagi Meisa took out 1 million yen in cash from her bag and placed it in front of Uesugi Muneyuki.

After marriage, Kashiwagi Jin did not hand over all his salary, only giving her 120,000 for household expenses every month. This was what she had saved up with hard work for more than three years.

"I am not short of money, Madam," Uesugi Muneyuki shook his head: "Moreover, I have read the case file, and I can tell you very reassuringly that overturning the case is almost impossible... Regardless of whether Kazama Yumi's suicide had a cause, she did indeed commit suicide. Even from my perspective, there is no problem with this. There is an autopsy report, surveillance records, and subsequent investigations."

"What?" Kashiwagi Meisa felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"However, this time he probably won't be punished too severely. The most likely outcome is that he will be transferred to a local headquarters or to the Third Investigation Division," Uesugi Muneyuki said softly: "Don't worry, he is, after all, part of the Todai Kinbyo-gumi, so the punishment won't be too severe. I will also join Todai soon; we are still alumni."

"Ah???!!!" Kashiwagi Meisa only felt that every word spat out of Uesugi Muneyuki's mouth was like a Warhammer smashing into her forehead. The previous generation's Face of the Metropolitan Police Department was anxious: "No! You can't! Uesugi-san! If Ren is transferred to the Third Investigation Division, he will commit suicide!"

She understood Kashiwagi Jin too well; for a guy who viewed honor as his life, being transferred to the Third Investigation Division would be nothing short of the cruelest humiliation!

Although Kashiwagi Jin did not love her, they had been a married couple for three years after all, and no matter what, she could not watch Kashiwagi Jin fall into the abyss!

"Uesugi-san! I beg you! Please save my husband!"

The previous Face of the Metropolitan Police Department, in her desperation, knelt before Uesugi Muneyuki: "He was ignorant; I apologize to you on his behalf! I beg you, for the sake of our time as colleagues and as alumni, save him this once!"

"I... I am willing to do anything!" After saying this, Kashiwagi Misa seemed to have made a great resolution and lowered her head.

Uesugi Muneyuki hurriedly helped her up and was silent for a few seconds: "Really? Madam, are you really willing to do anything?"

"Yes!" Kashiwagi Misa's body was trembling; the ice-mountain mixed-blood wife swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling very uneasy.

She was just a Non-Career Track female desk officer from a single-parent family; what could she do?

But... for her husband... she had no choice but to...

"Alright then, come with me." Uesugi Muneyuki thought for a moment and revealed a meaningful smile: "Madam, you shouldn't have anything else to do tonight, right?"

"No..."

"That's good, get in the car with me, I'll take you to a place~"
