Chapter 583

The cleaning staff was an elderly woman, her hair already streaked with silver, probably around sixty-five years old, her face showing terror as she rolled and crawled on the ground, dragging herself a short distance before pointing at the villa and screaming: "There's a corpse, there's a corpse ah ah ah ah, who, come quickly, call the police quickly!"

The woman's scream immediately drew nearby people, an old man in expensive golf attire, his hair neatly combed, frowned and gestured to his bodyguard to retreat immediately, a middle-aged woman in elegant vacation attire, sharp and capable, curiously looked over here, and a slightly plump young man in a flashy Hawaiian shirt wore a mixed expression of fear and curiosity.

What happened?

Someone died?

Besides these three people, the villa area immediately gathered twenty or thirty people, all watching the villa direction, but no one dared to go in.

At this moment, Minami Ojou-sama made a dazzling appearance, she immediately pulled out her police handbook, the Metropolitan Police Department's shining cherry blossom emblem and the words "Special Mission System Management Officer, Superintendent" on it gaining special strength in Karuizawa's warm sunlight: "Everyone move aside! Make way! Police! We are police!"

Minami Ojou-sama's action startled everyone at the scene.

Police? When did they arrive? How could they be so fast?!

And this police lady, your attire — is it also a bit too casual?

But the police emblem is not fake, and no one would be bored enough to forge a police handbook, the crowd at the scene instantly parted like Moses parting the sea.

"Police? How could they be so fast — "

"Are they from Tokyo?"

"This is bad, Karuizawa actually had something like this happen — "

Panic and murmuring spread through the crowd, at this time another voice said: "Make way! Let me see what's going on? Please excuse me?"

And when the crowd made way again, Uesugi Muneyuki had already stepped out.

When Uesugi Muneyuki appeared, everyone's faces changed.

Is it him? Is it him? It's him! Again him?!

"Wait, wait! Could this person be — the legendary forensic doctor of the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Mission System, Doctor Uesugi Muneyuki?!" A vacationing middle-aged man in the crowd exclaimed in disbelief.

"Exactly, it's that Sakigawa Nen's Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Uesugi of the Metropolitan Police Department!" His son, a half-grown rascal, said excitedly.

"And that lady, isn't she the Face of the Metropolitan Police Department, Superintendent Watanabe Minami? Correct, Superintendent Watanabe is Doctor Uesugi's fiancée, it really is them two!"

"Then who will fill my missing judo beauty police officer, Deputy Section Chief Ikeda?"

"Uesugi has come! Uesugi has come!" A commotion rose at the scene, the two characters "Uesugi" seemed to have magic power, instantly blasting the original panic and unease into submission!

The panic and uncertainty that had just filled the air were instantly replaced by a strange "sense of reassurance."

Now there's no need to worry, because the legendary forensic doctor Doctor Uesugi is here!

With Uesugi here, will solving the case still be far?

Uesugi Chief has arrived, any evil will ultimately be brought to justice!

The old man with tightly furrowed brows relaxed them slightly, muttering: "So it's them — the Imperial Family is also here, it seems the police have deployed the highest level of force."

And that woman had already recognized Uesugi Muneyuki, she fell silent for a moment, her eyes conveying "If it's him, then there's no problem," silently took out her phone, and called her brother to tell him something had happened in Karuizawa.

Even the most flippant young man widened his eyes, his tone becoming excited: "Wow! It's really him!

It's really him!!!!"

Panic had not completely disappeared, but had transformed. Because everyone understood one by one: with Uesugi here, the truth will surely come to light.

Watanabe Minami stood beside Uesugi, like a drawn name-blade, beautiful and sharp.

She surveyed the scene and announced clearly: "Everyone, please rest assured, although we are also on vacation here, since this incident occurred near us, we will certainly not stand by idly, and we also ask everyone to cooperate with our work, do not disturb the scene! Please maintain order!"

Everyone around nodded, all looking at Uesugi Muneyuki with anticipation, their eyes filled with little stars.

This time, we can participate on-site in the recording of "Hand of God," personally witnessing Uesugi's case-solving show and reasoning show!

Great!

Uesugi Muneyuki ignored all the discussion, all his senses focused on the door behind.

He quickly walked to the side of the nearly fainting cleaner, crouched down, and said in a low, steady voice: "Madam, please tell me what you saw, briefly."

"I — I came to do regular cleaning — knocked on the door, no one answered, so I used the spare key — when the door opened, the smell — then I saw — in the living room — a person lying there — beside — there was a charcoal brazier — " she stammered.

Uesugi and Minami exchanged a glance — charcoal brazier suicide?

Uesugi Muneyuki originally wanted to go in to confirm, but Minami immediately grabbed him: "Wait! Muneyuki, we are crossing jurisdictions!"

Minami Ojou-sama, when serious, is not only stern but also has a seriousness distinct from ordinary police, she said: "A murder case has occurred here, the Metropolitan Police Department cannot conduct cross-jurisdictional investigation, this should be handled by the Karuizawa Police Station under the Nagano Prefecture Police Headquarters, and involving a homicide, it should be transferred to the Criminal Investigation Division 1 of the Nagano Prefecture Police Headquarters, Muneyuki, we have no direct investigative authority."

"Then what should we do?" Uesugi Muneyuki nodded, Japanese police adopt a local autonomy system, indeed cannot conduct cross-jurisdictional investigations arbitrarily, if violated, it would be an illegal search, evidence is very likely not to be accepted by the prosecution and courts.

"Wait, wait for the Karuizawa Police Station's patrol officers to arrive, let him seek help from the nationwide strongest forensic expert present here, this complies with the emergency assistance clause of the Police Law, and when the local police urgently requisition you, Muneyuki, to examine the corpse and determine the cause of death, as your superior department head I can legally intervene and report to the Metropolitan Police Department and Nagano Prefecture Police Headquarters, Nagano Prefecture will then process through the National Police Agency the procedure to request guidance from the Metropolitan Police Department, thus everything becomes legal." Minami Ojou-sama recited all clauses of the Police Law to Uesugi Muneyuki.

"No wonder it's my young lady." Uesugi Muneyuki nodded helplessly, Japanese people are just this meticulous, everything must follow strict procedures, but this is also good, one won't give people ammunition, two won't have evidence rejected by courts and prosecution due to possible illegal search.

The response from Karuizawa Police Station was still fast, minutes after receiving the alarm, a patrol police car arrived at the scene, two male officers got out, after asking passersby and confirming the corpse was found here, they quickly realized someone was maintaining order at the scene, immediately shouted loudly: "Move aside, we are police! No matter who you are, we now take over the scene! Please withdraw! Do not interfere with our work!"

However, Watanabe Minami blocked them, she flashed her police handbook at the two patrol officers: "I am Superintendent Watanabe Minami of the Special Mission System, Investigation Division 1, Metropolitan Police Department. I and Doctor Uesugi happen to be on vacation here. Please immediately seal off a radius of 20 meters centered on this villa, protect all possible entry and exit routes. Simultaneously, please immediately report the situation to your superiors and notify the Metropolitan Police Department!"

When the two patrol officers personally saw the golden cherry blossom emblem on Minami's handbook and the title "Special Mission System Management Officer," plus the familiar "Face of the Metropolitan Police Department," the two local prefectural police immediately instinctively straightened their backs and saluted.

Sorry, Commissioner, we didn't recognize you just now!

Wait, if Superintendent Watanabe Minami of the Special Mission System is here, then isn't it —!

Indeed, Uesugi Muneyuki, wearing his own plastic gloves, slowly appeared, calmly said to the two patrol officers: "I am Doctor Uesugi Muneyuki of the Metropolitan Police Department. If you need, I can provide preliminary external corpse examination opinions for reference."

"Please, we beg you!" The two patrol officers exchanged glances, almost jumping with excitement.

Uesugi is here! This case isn't solved yet?

Can we also see his case-solving reasoning show on-site?

Great!!!

Finally obtaining legal search authority, Uesugi Muneyuki took a deep breath, pushed open the villa gate that seemed to separate life and death. A heavier death aura rushed toward him, but his steps were steady, his silhouette disappearing into the shadows inside.

The villa interior was luxuriously decorated yet covered with a thin layer of gray, showing no one had formally resided here for a long time. The air was filled with a mixture of dust, mold, and that unique, slightly sweetish carbon monoxide residue.

Window gaps were sealed with internal tape by someone, creating a near-airtight space.

And on the villa's living room carpet, a girl lay face up, about twenty years old, with cherry-red lividity on her body, dressed not like the owner of such a villa, besides the fireplace, there were also two seven-wheel charcoal stoves placed.

Suicide? Homicide? Accidental death?

Uesugi Muneyuki's Qinghui Stone is glowing.

Here we go!

At the same time, Karuizawa, Golf Course 72.

A group of middle-aged men wearing Ralph Lauren golf shirts and pants, with baseball caps on their heads, were playing a golf match, with a row of more than ten men in suits standing around them, all wearing earpieces.

"Nice shot!" One of them swung his golf club and hit a beautiful birdie, earning praise from the crowd: "Minister Setouchi! Nice!"

"Hehehe~ Come on, a cigarette." This middle-aged man is none other than the newly appointed Minister of Justice Yuzō Setouchi, who happily accepted everyone's flattery.

At this moment, the phone of another middle-aged man nearby rang, he thought about it, and still answered it —

Come: "Mò sī mò sī~ I am Onoda desu, huh? What did you say? Oh, oh, oh, I know now, pinch~"

"Onoda, what happened?" Minister of Justice Yuzō Setouchi noticed this scene, the suit-clad man gave him a cigarette, then slowly approached.

The man answering the phone is none other than Onoda Kimiaki, Director of the Commissioner's Secretariat of the National Police Agency, and also the actual helm of the National Police Agency and Public Security Police.

"My sister told me that a young woman's corpse seems to have been found in Old Karuizawa." Onoda Kimiaki said with a hint of amusement.

"Ah? What? How could such a thing happen? Really?" Minister Setouchi's face showed surprise, but immediately turned to panic: "Onoda, but Your Majesty, Your Majesty's family is also vacationing in Karuizawa! This is a big deal!"

"No problem, Uesugi is already there." Onoda Kimiaki gestured casually, indicating it was his turn to tee off.

"Oh, I see, then it's fine." Minister Setouchi exhaled lightly, his expression relaxing considerably:

"

Let's continue."

The two middle-aged men continued playing golf.

"By the way, Onoda, there's a joke about Uesugi in the Ministry of Justice over here, do you know it?" Minister Setouchi held a cigarette, suddenly laughing as he spoke.

"I haven't heard it, pinch~"

Onoda gestured with his golf club.

"It's about Uesugi Muneyuki"
