Chapter 388: , Mai Xuejie Attacks!

The brawl that occurred within Investigation Division 1 was an outbreak that fully displayed the internal contradictions of the Metropolitan Police Department; although the fight was quickly stopped by the members of Investigation Division 1, it still left an indelible scar on the Metropolitan Police Department.

Over the past year, due to the presence of Uesugi Muneyuki, the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division 1 has gained nationwide fame for its unimaginably high case-solving efficiency, especially when major crimes involving corpses require the Special Mission Unit to be deployed, at which point it's called "I bloom, a hundred flowers die," "assembly, action, perfection," although the greatest credit always goes to the Special Mission Unit, after all, the Special Mission Unit only has a few people, while Investigation Division 1 is the main police force, so naturally it can claim a considerable share of the credit.

Therefore, over the past year, Investigation Division 1 as a whole has been peaceful and repeatedly meritorious, with a bright future and promising prospects.

But today such an incident occurred, and the Metropolitan Police Department reacted swiftly, immediately sealing off all information, announcing that internal matters would be handled internally; Criminal Investigation Department Chief Uchimura finally found his opportunity, he summoned Investigation Division 1 Chief Sugishita Ukyo to the department chief's office and launched a barrage of foul-mouthed reprimands, scolding him for poor leadership, scolding him for achieving nothing in investigations, scolding him for misguided leadership.

In short, he must resign!

You, Sugishita Ukyo, must voluntarily resign and take the blame for this black pot, then it will be settled!

Faced with the reprimands of Criminal Investigation Department Chief Uchimura, Sugishita Ukyo remained silent; he is still immersed in the sorrow of the previous incident, he also participated in the investigation of that bar, never expecting things to turn out this way; although the investigation was futile, he had also considered that, but the swift intervention of Public Security, the candid words of his old friend Kanchoukanbou Onoda, and the unspeakable inside story, combined with the deliberate backup evidence by Kashiwagi being discovered by Public Security, and Kosaka, though smooth-talking, helplessly deleting the backup, leading to a clash where blood flowed in the stairwell, still left this 57-year-old Investigation Division 1 Chief feeling profound exhaustion.

At this moment, Department Chief Uchimura again pushed the blame onto him, claiming his intentions were good, it's all because the division chief executed poorly, which truly left Sugishita Ukyo speechless.

The expectations of subordinates, the pressure of superiors, the secrets of higher-ups, the hopes of the nation, the demands of justice—almost all weighed upon the shoulders of this Investigation Division 1 Chief, Sugishita Ukyo, pressing him until he could barely breathe, pressing his already small frame to tremble slightly.

He knew Department Chief Uchimura had disliked him for a long time; as a member of the Onoda faction, he had always been excluded, especially regarding such a crucial and important position as Investigation Division 1 Chief, which countless people have been eyeing.

And just then, someone came from outside.

"Chief, the Director General has arrived!" Criminal Division Counselor Nakazono rushed in flustered.

"What the heck???"

Upon hearing about this matter, Watanabe Eiji almost immediately brought people and rushed over right away.

The Superintendent General naturally knew the full details of the incident; in Watanabe Eiji's view, even the Public Security Police involved in this matter were taking the blame, he did not blame Kashiwagi Jin, and certainly would not blame Kosaka Shinichiro.

Watanabe Eiji has always admired Kashiwagi Jin's sense of justice; although he greatly disliked his violence and the huge trouble he caused, the Superintendent General still made a judgment: deduct one month's salary, enforce three days of home rest, apologize to Kosaka, and let this not happen again!

"But, Director General!" Kashiwagi Jin still wanted to make an effort to argue.

"Enough!!!" Watanabe Eiji growled: "You don't think for yourself, you don't think for Investigation Division 1 and this department either? Secretly hiding and duplicating evidence is no small crime! The National Police Agency side really wants to pursue this, you all will face severe punishment! Now the Security Department side is waiting for us to show a flaw! Moreover, Kashiwagi, you hit someone and still have justification?! Kosaka is also following orders, don't say he's just an inspector, orders came down and I, as Superintendent General, can only obey, what could he do?"

Considering Kashiwagi Jin's personality, Watanabe Eiji gave him the best way out: "Kashiwagi, Uesugi Muneyuki interceded for you, he said it was he who implicated you."

Uesugi Muneyuki?

Kashiwagi Jin was stunned, never expecting to hear such news from the Superintendent General's side.

Uesugi really is a decent fellow! The Metropolitan Police Department's sea king star inspector is genuinely somewhat moved.

Kashiwagi Jin's expression shifted several times, and in the end he still unwillingly lowered his head, looking at Kosaka Shinichiro with blood all over his face, he could only whisper an apology: "Sorry, Kosaka, I acted impulsively."

"Hehe, hehehehehe." Kosaka Shinichiro laughed foolishly, shaking his head repeatedly: "It's not your fault, I can understand, but I also have no choice."

As for Kosaka Shinichiro, Watanabe Eiji had mentioned him to Uesugi Muneyuki, this person is essentially a "career foundation," smooth-talking, eager for promotion beyond measure, his lifelong goal is that chair of Investigation Division 1 Chief, but today's incident truly isn't his fault, the Public Security Police and Security Department side can't even control themselves, let alone Kosaka, a mere division chief.

Moreover, Kosaka is in his forties, with aging parents and young children, his wife is a housewife, his child is in elementary school, what could he do?

The fragility and breakdown of middle-aged men often occur at this moment; to some extent, Kosaka is voluntarily taking the blame for the organization, for the Metropolitan Police Department, this punch he took was for the Criminal Investigation Department, and also for himself.

"You've worked hard, go home and rest properly for a few days, Kosaka, you've been wronged." Watanabe Eiji said softly.

Kosaka Shinichiro's eyes lit up, he saw the guilt and righteous anger in the Superintendent General's eyes, and knew this punch he took was not in vain!

His chances for the Investigation Division 1 Chief position increased by another weight.

Great!

"Hi!!!"

The rest, Watanabe Eiji announced, including Sugishita Ukyo, everyone involved in the gym case from Investigation Division 1 would not be punished, and each would get half a day off, plus enjoy one "rest day."

A major internal disturbance was barely suppressed, dissolved into nothing.

……………………

At the same time, University of Tokyo Medical Department.

Through Suo Masao's efforts and connections, Uesugi Muneyuki officially enrolled at the University of Tokyo, beginning his master's-doctoral continuous study life, while also serving as a Clinical Research Physician.

The University of Tokyo truly finds Uesugi Muneyuki, this trouble-bringer, to be of no use when eaten and a pity to discard; on one hand they greatly appreciate his talent and ability, on the other hand they truly dread his trouble-making and repeated big news, so they arranged for Uesugi Muneyuki a rare single office, and clearly stated he does not need to participate in specific teaching.

The University of Tokyo also doubts whether there exists anyone in the school who can teach him in the field of autopsy.

Naturally, Ishihara Mikoto, this former Osaka University forensic medicine graduate, who has served as school doctor and countless clinic doctors, wandering doctors, female forensic, never imagined she would one day actually follow Uesugi Muneyuki to the University of Tokyo, serving as Uesugi's designated forensic assistant! So when Uesugi Muneyuki asked Ishihara Mikoto whether she wanted to follow him to the University of Tokyo to take a look, she disregarded last night's fatigue and immediately came!

Ishihara Mikoto also carefully dressed up; she donned the standard white coat issued by the University of Tokyo, wore her own RA chest badge, inside matched a loose, comfortable but high-quality round-neck wool sweater, ankle-length thick-knit A-line long skirt, then changed into a pair of ankle-strapped pointed-toe patent leather high heels, naturally her delicate foot backs were covered with a layer of moderately thick high-quality flesh-colored velvet stockings, beneath the warm upper coat and long skirt, the skin sensation of the stockings at the ankle was the warmest temptation of winter.

Naturally, because Mikoto is only 157 cm tall, this woman secretly raised her waistband up near her chest "stealing" some height to make herself appear to have a pair of long legs, beneath her head of refreshing, beautiful shawl-length hair, a pair of fox-like large eyes and moderately thick sensual lips brimmed with excitement for the new environment and Tokyo University, this highest institution of learning.

From today on, I am also a member of Tokyo University!

"I told you before, Mikoto-nee, since you came to find me, I will definitely give you the best." Uesugi Muneyuki smiled at his excited Mikoto-nee, feeling deeply satisfied in his heart.

Saying something unpleasant, in the traditional Confucian education of East Asia's three countries, the cultural imprint on men is deeply "when poor, cultivate oneself alone; when prosperous, benefit the world," meaning a man earning 3000 a month satisfying only his basic living needs is quite normal, but when he earns 30000 a month, this imprint will drive him to start noticing his surroundings and caring for his parents, relatives, friends, and subconsciously actively sharing part of his gains.

Unfortunately, although Uesugi Muneyuki is a transmigrator, he still realizes his soul also bears a deep imprint of this kind, differing from those so-called "modern independent women" who have already shed this imprint; even if he realizes it, having become successful, he will inevitably unconsciously pay attention to those around him, Ishihara Mikoto holds a very special position in his heart; when seeing this woman who gave him his first sense of belonging and beautiful first experience, because of his relationship she changed her fate, he felt from the depths of his heart a joyful satisfaction.

My Mikoto-nee deserves the best!

Of course, last night Uesugi Muneyuki did not obtain satisfaction on Minami, he also feared breaking Minami.

So he decided it was you, my Mikoto-nee!

But just then, a commotion came from outside the Medical Department, drawing his attention.

What's the situation?

The academic atmosphere of Tokyo University and Kyoto University differs; Tokyo University has always emphasized solemnity, efficiency, and order, disliking various popular elements and flashy decorations.

And when Uesugi Muneyuki poked his head out, he saw the center of the commotion.

Mai Xuejie?!

Only seen, on the stone-paved road near the Medical Department, National Goddess Shirakawa Mai wore a tailored navy wool coat reaching the knees, underneath a rather formal women's Armani three-piece suit, her lower body changed into a dark gray over-knee bodycon skirt, the skirt hem length just fell slightly below the knee, ensuring that pair of 20D matte black silk stockings could be fully displayed, the stocking surface maintained even pure opacity, completely non-sheer, deep in feel, under the cold winter outdoor light, presenting an introverted yet high-quality texture.

Her steps were light as she walked toward the University of Tokyo Medical Department's cold, white satin high-heeled shoes striking the ground with a crisp, restrained sound; the coat's hem opened and closed with her steps, the leg lines wrapped in the bodycon skirt were smooth and neat, that matte black extended from beneath the skirt to the toe tips, becoming a steady yet eye-catching presence in the sharp attire, high-quality Wolford stocking material perfectly outlined her slender ankles and tight arches, even wrapped in dark stockings, the beautiful form of her feet and the dynamic beauty of her steps remained clearly discernible.

Winter sunlight filtered through the tall windows onto her. Unchanged black stockings faithfully covered both legs, forming a subtle balance with the strict academic atmosphere, the goddess senior's appearance under winter light was extremely striking, radiantly beautiful beyond compare.

Unmade-up face lustrous white as jade, contours clear and soft, nose bridge high and straight, most striking were those bright pupils, clear and luminous, eye corners slightly upturned, tranquil yet carrying an unintentional radiance. Natural rose-colored full moist lips opened and closed, instantly locking onto Uesugi Muneyuki.

The gazes of senior and junior met amidst the crowd's attention.

Mai Xuejie, how did you come here?

Hehe, the University of Tokyo is my alma mater, and... do you have a lot of things you want to ask me, Junior Student?

Shirakawa Mai's gaze held three parts amusement, three parts scheming, and the remaining parts were full of playfulness and provocation.

Senior Student Mai attacks!
