Chapter 368: Today is Uesugi's victory!

After the Sakura-mon hearing concluded, a public opinion storm swept across Japan at lightning speed.

The front-page headline of the Sankei Shimbun read: "Bunshun reporter, at the hearing site, made baseless sexual accusations against an underage girl!"

The subheading was: "I don't want you to think, I want me to think, I say it exists so it exists? Bunshun's shamelessness is the crystallization of humanity's strongest and most evil!"

The Yomiuri Shimbun went even further, completely siding with Uesugi Muneyuki, and the reporters' dispatch from the scene was: "Don't believe evidence, don't believe testimony, don't believe inspection, don't believe official documents, only believe what you think? Is Bunshun a cult organization?"

Even the Yomiuri Shimbun demanded that Japan's publishing industry strip Weekly Bunshun of its publishing qualifications.

This is also quite normal, after all, the Yomiuri Shimbun is backed by American capital, while Weekly Bunshun doesn't even believe the FBI

WARNING, which is truly lacking in foresight.

Fuji TV was laughing hysterically; it had only just opened the year, and yet another live broadcast broke 35% viewership, and at the very moment the Weekly Bunshun reporter uttered that sentence, viewership peaked at 45%, meaning that among the 30 million people in Kantou, at least 14 million were simultaneously watching this scene!

The Fuji TV reporter Kaibara also interviewed Lin Yanzhen, the female prosecutor from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office; facing the camera, this Korean-American female prosecutor appeared very angry, stating that hearing such remarks in Japan was nothing short of an insult to the entire judicial system, Weekly Bunshun is suspected of violating multiple laws, and could face criminal charges with a maximum sentence of seven years in prison.

Staff from the Japan Children's Consultation Office repeatedly confirmed Saito Asuka's mental state, finding she was merely crying out of grievance without a mental breakdown, before finally breathing a sigh of relief; facing Fuji TV's interview, the staff from the Children's Consultation Office wryly smiled and said: "We originally brought those large briefcases to block the defendant's view, but we never expected we'd need soundwave weapons!"

"As a child and youth protection organization, Weekly Bunshun's remarks are a complete humiliation of national parental authority; we will not let this end here, we will surely pursue this to the end together with the Prosecutors Office!"

Sugishita Ukyo, chief of Investigation Division 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department, also accepted an interview; facing the interview, Sugishita Ukyo also appeared very angry: "This statement has seriously infringed upon the legitimate rights and interests of underage girl A, this will be a harbinger of the collapse of society's shield, we absolutely cannot forgive such excessive behavior! The Metropolitan Police Department will turn around and prosecute Weekly Bunshun for false accusation!"

At the same time, the entire Japanese internet was abuzz with discussion of this matter; on Yahoo Japan, the distrust vote for Uesugi Muneyuki had already shifted from 62% believing he was guilty to 87% supporting his innocence, of course, calls for his just judgment were still indispensable.

Raising such a super beautiful girl at home, yet charging into the Uesugi residence! Heaven destroys the forensic examiner! Death penalty!!!

Raising such a super beautiful girl at home and yet not touching her, charging into the Uesugi residence, saving Asuka! Death penalty!!!

Raising such a super beautiful girl at home, if this Uesugi bastard dares to touch her, charge into the Uesugi residence, save Asuka! Death penalty!!!

The moment Saito Asuka appeared, she instantly captivated everyone's hearts; she had been hailed as the "Chosen Beauty" at Tsukuba University High School, like a girl from a manga, pure and cute in appearance, fitting the Asian definition of a beautiful girl, she possesses extremely high looks, her pure image deeply ingrained in people's hearts, delicate features, full of transparency, full of cuteness, and even has a "small face where the corners of the eyes or mouth can almost be covered."

Wearing a standard winter uniform pleated skirt, leather shoes, and silk stockings, the first-love feeling was maximized, fiercely striking countless hearts; the original Asuka was somewhat sallow and thin, after all, the two sisters had come to Tokyo and lived a hard life, but since being with Uesugi Muneyuki, the girl has become much more affluent both materially and spiritually, many experienced older people can tell, the girl does not look like she is being coerced or abused, on the contrary, she should be feeling very happy.

But... doesn't this make things even worse?!?

Doesn't this mean that this Chosen Girl's affection for Uesugi Muneyuki is why there are all these beautiful women around this Uesugi bastard?

Indeed, we should just kill Uesugi!

The enemy is at Sakura-mon! Burn, Uesugi people!

A tidal wave of condemnation against Uesugi Muneyuki has swept across the Japanese internet, however, due to all the evidence published at the hearing and the endorsement by the officials present, no one dares to question whether Uesugi Muneyuki cohabiting with a minor is legal anymore; the public's attention has instead shifted to the "Tokyo Medical and Dental University Night Shift Attack Incident," after all, Uesugi Muneyuki is also a victim in this case,

and having lost his girlfriend, yet still choosing to take on his girlfriend's sister despite the risks, this also somewhat aligns with Uesugi Kenshin's "righteousness" persona in his acting image; the public thinks, no wonder he is Kenshin Kō's descendant, having responsibility and righteousness,

The evaluation of Kantou people is: this is a true Kantou man, a pillar of the martial household.

The evaluation of Kansai people is: Uesugi Muneyuki is a genuine Kansai person who infiltrated Kantou, warm-hearted, understands the law, and will draw his sword!

In short, Uesugi Muneyuki has swept the board again, and many regret not seeing that judo beauty female officer Ikeda Erena at the hearing, but the alluring and charming forensic beauty, brimming with the spirited wit of a professional woman, is also fantastic!

Asuka! My Asuka! Take me with you!

As for Weekly Bunshun, the vote on Yahoo Japan has also begun to show signs.

"How should this statement (referring to Weekly Bunshun's explosive on-site remark) be judged?"

"Option One, chemical castration (72%)."

"Option Two, death penalty (18%)."

"Option Three, not guilty (9%)."

The top trending phrase on 2ch immediately became.

"First place, hurry up and produce your virginity certificate! FBIWARNING!"

"Second place, Weekly Bunshun AV trading company possibly exists!"

"Third place, hum~hum~hum~ah ah ah, learn to make this sound, you too can roar like Judge Tokoro!"

But no matter what, today Uesugi Muneyuki achieved a complete victory; from now on, all his suspicions have been completely cleared, he has thoroughly proven his innocence, and has also powerfully shaken all media, so they probably won't dare to casually question his private life anymore.

Falling leaves brought news, the Weekly Bunshun headquarters underwent a dramatic change, multiple executives fainted, among them, editor-in-chief Shinzato Gaku fainted on the spot due to sudden hyperventilation and was sent to the hospital, while another major person in charge of this matter, Executive Director Shinjin, suffered a sudden myocardial infarction and heart failure, and is currently being rescued in the ICU.

Uesugi Muneyuki glanced again, not knowing when, but Mai Xuejie had already disappeared, yet throughout, no one noticed.

How swift the revenge!

Uesugi Muneyuki originally also wanted to act, however someone stopped him.

It was Criminal Investigation Department Chief Uchimura Kanji.

Fifteen minutes later, Tokyo, the restaurant attached to the Peninsula Hotel, non-private area.

Prosecutor General Nishikawa Souchou of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office and Superintendent General Watanabe Eiji of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department sat face to face,

Uesugi Muneyuki sat beside them as company, besides that, Superintendent Minami Ojou-sama of the Metropolitan Police Department, in standard winter uniform, also came over, sitting to Uesugi Muneyuki's left hand, Minami Ojou-sama watched the entire live broadcast, first angry then happy, secretly pulling Uesugi's left hand on the table and drawing circles in his palm, indicating excitement.

Watanabe Eiji and Watanabe Minami had not appeared before, because they are Uesugi Muneyuki's "relations," in this situation they naturally needed to avoid suspicion, but now that Uesugi Muneyuki has been proven innocent and law-abiding, naturally there is no need to hide anymore.

"Prosecutor General Nishikawa, thank you very much for the Prosecutors Office being able to enforce the law fairly." Watanabe Eiji actively smiled at Prosecutor General Nishikawa: "Today's matter, our establishment let you see something funny." (The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office holds a higher overall status than the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, so it can only refer to itself as "this establishment"; the Japanese honorific is actually very particular, here we keep it simple.)

"Well, today's matter, there's nothing much to say." Prosecutor General Nishikawa is about the same age as Watanabe Eiji, people will be slightly heavier, but his expression is very solemn and extremely dignified: "Who could have thought Weekly Bunshun would do this? Our office has already accepted the commission from the Children's Consultation Office, and will soon launch formal litigation, Superintendent Watanabe, rest assured."

"What I want to tell Prosecutor General Nishikawa is exactly this." Watanabe Eiji glanced at Uesugi Muneyuki and Watanabe Minami, gesturing: "Not only is Muneyuki-kun, but even our establishment has suffered an unjust blame in this matter, but our establishment after all is the party involved."

"Oh, I understand, false accusation, right?" Prosecutor General Nishikawa nodded: "This indeed breaks through the bottom line of minor protection, our office can help your establishment prosecute along the way, but I must tell you in advance, considering the legal protection of press freedom and the public's right to know, and the Metropolitan Police Department being a powerful department, so at most it would be a public apology plus appropriate internal disciplinary rectification, wanting Weekly Bunshun to be investigated, shut down, and dissolved is impossible."

"That is sufficient." Watanabe Eiji also did not truly want Weekly Bunshun dead, he mainly wanted to vent his anger for Uesugi Muneyuki: "Muneyuki, aren't you going to thank Prosecutor General Nishikawa?"

"Thank you, Prosecutor General Nishikawa!" Uesugi Muneyuki and Watanabe Minami immediately stood up and bowed to Prosecutor General Nishikawa of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

"Oh oh~ Thanks aren't necessary, just part of the job, you are Snow Pine, right? Kuninori-san truly has a fine grandson, impressive!" Prosecutor General Nishikawa carefully scrutinized Uesugi Muneyuki, drool slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Occasionally also support our prosecutorial side? Prosecutors and police prospering together."

TMD, how did this brat not come to our Prosecutors Office?

Truly a pearl cast in darkness! Truly a violent heaven thing!

Come to our Prosecutors Office, the Forensic Examiner's Office under the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bureau of Health can also do forensic work?

Our Special Investigation Unit is truly the ace department that fears no offense!

"Is there anything I can help with, Prosecutor General Nishikawa, please command as you wish, I and Minami will certainly serve you wholeheartedly." Uesugi Muneyuki hurriedly said.

"Hmm." Prosecutor General Nishikawa understood Uesugi Muneyuki's willingness to help but emphasized he must do so with his fiancée Minami, meaning he still leans toward the Metropolitan Police Department's meaning, unable to help feeling a bit displeased but also unable to erupt, after all this brat's ability is too fragrant, he will surely be useful in the future, so he personally turned the gun barrel: "Speaking of which"

~N~

Dragging out the sound, wanting to speak but stopping,

"Director Nishikawa, if you have any orders, please just tell me!" Watanabe Eiji still had to slightly lower his head when facing the District Prosecutor General.

"Your Metropolitan Police Department really does have a very rude officer, huh." Nishikawa Souchou said neither yin nor yang: "Today I finally got to see it in person—is this the big star of Sakuradamon?"

Watanabe Eiji's expression changed.

It's him, it's him, it's him, and again him!

"You noticed, huh—I also watched the live broadcast, was it Kashiwagi Jin arguing with Prosecutor Kamibayashi?" The Superintendent General could only steel himself and actively admit.

"Oh? Watanabe Director knows?" Nishikawa Souchou nodded, he was actually at the scene at the time, personally seeing Kashiwagi Jin arrest the Bunshun journalist first with the arrest warrant he himself had signed, and even legally talking back to his own subordinate like that: "If you don't say, I would still have thought it was Watanabe Director you who instructed it."

T

"】-Never happened." Watanabe Eiji heard this, his face all black: "Please absolutely don't misunderstand, he has always been—. more enthusiastic, brave, frank, and impulsive."

"Really just frank and impulsive?" Nishikawa Souchou said neither yin nor yang: "I see he also understands the law, knows police can detain for 48 hours before handing over to us prosecutors, having such an excellent subordinate, Watanabe Director is truly amazing! Not unworthy of being the first reappointed Superintendent General after the Cold War! High position and great power, winning people's hearts, able to convince the crowd, we prosecutors in front of this Superintendent, seem to have no face left."

Facing Nishikawa Souchou's skin-deep yang autumn, Watanabe Eiji could only lower his head and say yes yes no no, promising to definitely reprimand him when he returns, not letting him affect the intimate friendship between us prosecutors and police.

Only then did Nishikawa Souchou nod to indicate it won't happen again, and strictly speaking Kashiwagi Jin didn't violate procedure, he's a good comrade, huh, but Uesugi Muneyuki and Watanabe Minami exchanged a glance.

Good fellow, Kashiwagi Jin offended the District Prosecutor General again!

This guy, how is he even more explosive than me?

In Uesugi Muneyuki's mind's eye suddenly appeared the cold and beautiful mixed-race appearance of the former Beauty of the Metropolitan Police Department, Kashiwagi Misa, bitter smile nonstop, Old Ren, you're so explosive, does your wife know?
