Chapter 74: , Do You Know Mikoto-nee?

The Forensics Division has quite a few staff members, but there are only these three proper forensic pathologists. Considering Uncle Ishikura, who is about to resign, there will only be two proper forensic pathologists in the Forensics Division in the future: one responsible for autopsies and one for dissections.

Besides these two forensic pathologists, the Forensics Division has many other experts, but I will not list them one by one here.

Although he had anticipated it beforehand, Uesugi Muneyuki was still surprised by the motley crew in the Forensics Division.

But there is no help for it; forensic pathology is just that kind of profession.

"Do you know a person named Satomi Mikoto?" Uesugi Muneyuki sat down with Watanabe Minami. He noticed that the young lady Minami clearly frowned, not wanting to stay long in such an unclean chair with these people, but Uesugi Muneyuki was not going to indulge her.

You, just endure it.

"Satomi Mikoto? Satomi Mikoto? This, I haven't heard of her." The chubby, bear-like forensic pathologist Higashiyama Takeshi puffed out his little belly, his face wearing an expression of giving up: "The circle of doctors in Tokyo is very large, Uesugi-san. We in the Forensics Division are also very busy, so I don't know her."

"I am very sorry! I don't know her, Uesugi-san, I'm sorry!" Another young forensic pathologist, Kamioka Hideo, racked his brains but couldn't think of anyone he knew by that name. His face flushed red as he stood up straight and bowed deeply at ninety degrees, feeling very ashamed: "Hontou ni sumimasen!"

"It's fine, I was just asking casually." Uesugi Muneyuki waved his hand.

"Yes, I am infinitely and extremely grateful!" Having received forgiveness, Kamioka bowed excitedly again.

Worried that he might throw out his back, Uesugi Muneyuki hurriedly added: "Don't do that. Although etiquette is a virtue, we will be colleagues from now on, so there is really no need for this."

"Yes, I am grateful, I am filled with awe and extreme good fortune!" Kamioka excitedly bowed again.

"What I mean is, you can be completely at ease..."

"I will strictly follow your orders, it is my greatest honor!" This guy was so humble he was practically putting his head on the floor.

"No need to use honorifics..." Uesugi Muneyuki was about to say more when the young lady Minami beside him asked curiously: "Satomi Mikoto, who is she? Why are you looking for her?"

"As for her, she could be considered the one who guided me onto the path of forensic pathology." Uesugi Muneyuki seemed to fall into his memories: "Uh, you should know that Mai-senpai and I were alumni at Gunma Prefecture Tokiwa Middle School, right?"

"Mm-hmm!" A story to hear! The young lady Minami immediately transformed from a haughty, static beauty into an earnest, studious, well-behaved girl, her face full of curiosity as she prepared to listen to Uesugi Muneyuki tell his story.

Men, after all, love to be teachers, love to hold forth in front of women. On this point, the young lady Minami knew very well how to give a man face, how to let them show off to their heart's content, and how to satisfy their emotional value.

And she really did want to hear it.

"I still find it hard to believe to this day that Mai-senpai actually knew me. I remember that in her third year of high school, she didn't come to school more than ten times in the whole year..." Uesugi Muneyuki was also rarely willing to talk about his own past: "I never spoke to her, only watched her from afar a few times. And when I was studying at Tokiwa Middle School, the school doctor was Mikoto-nee."

"Mikoto-nee, is it that intimate?" Higashiyama Takeshi felt a spark of curiosity.

"Yes." Uesugi Muneyuki simply stated the matter.

The experience of studying in Gunma Prefecture was a process of Uesugi Muneyuki re-accepting the world. Being a high school student who had awakened memories of a past life in a foreign land made him feel very awkward. His interpersonal relationships in high school were also poor, and he didn't have many friends. However, because he had excellent learning ability and was polite and measured in his dealings with others, he often hung out with teachers and did not experience bullying.

During psychological counseling, he met the school doctor at the time, Satomi Mikoto.

At that time, Uesugi Muneyuki was 16, and Satomi Mikoto was 24.

This young and beautiful school doctor always wore a bright and happy smile on her face. She had a standard, pure, and fresh face, bright red lips, and while not tall, she was very well-proportioned. Her most distinctive features were her slightly thick lips and the charm hidden between her brows and eyes.

Uesugi Muneyuki had quite a lot of contact with this beautiful school doctor. He didn't like communicating with little brats anyway, so after a few exchanges, the two of them became close.

Satomi Mikoto graduated from the Department of Forensic Medicine at Osaka Naniwa University; she was a bona fide top medical student. It was just that because she had to balance her family life after marriage, she followed her husband to work in Gunma Prefecture. Moreover, the two were actually neighbors; the Mikoto family lived upstairs from Uesugi Muneyuki's rented room.

It was this beautiful school doctor who started Uesugi Muneyuki on his path to studying medicine.

Uesugi Muneyuki once asked her: "Isn't forensic pathology just a discipline for studying dead people?"

"Forensic medicine is a discipline that exists for the future," Satomi Mikoto answered him like that.

From then on, Uesugi Muneyuki was left with a deep impression of forensic medicine, which is why he was willing to transfer to the Forensic Medicine Department after he couldn't continue in clinical practice.

It's a pity that something happened later. Mikoto-nee's family went through a crisis; she divorced her husband, and then one day, dead drunk, she unfortunately knocked on the wrong door and went into the wrong room... After that, Uesugi Muneyuki had some special stories with this beautiful school doctor.

But this relationship did not last long. About two weeks later, Mikoto-nee left without saying goodbye, resigned, and left Tokiwa Middle School. Uesugi Muneyuki racked his brains and used every means possible, only to learn that she had bought a train ticket to Tokyo.

Later, Uesugi Muneyuki returned to Tokyo. For these past few years, he had been intentionally or unintentionally looking for Mikoto-nee's whereabouts, but there were no results. Since he happened to run into them today, he just asked casually.

It couldn't be called being a lovesick fool who only had eyes for her, but Mikoto-nee was, after all, the first woman he had a relationship with after coming to this world, the first woman who made him experience pleasure after his awakening. He would still occasionally recall those two weeks of burning passion, so she could be considered his "white moonlight."

Quite passionate, quite burning.

Mikoto-nee is a good woman, in every sense of the word.

Uesugi Muneyuki briefly talked about his story with Mikoto-nee, but omitted the part where they had a relationship, only saying that Mikoto-nee was his guide, a highly respected school doctor and a senior in the medical field.

"A woman would actually choose forensic pathology?" Sure enough, Higashiyama Takeshi, this bear-circle loli-lover, was full of surprise: "I remember when I was studying forensic pathology, that pile of corpses was soaked in formalin and dissected countless times. We also often had to work, eat lunch boxes, and stay right next to the corpses. Is there really a woman who can do this job?"

"Truly, it is amazing. Uesugi-san himself is a very amazing person, and your senior is also such an amazing person!" Kamioka Hideo's posture remained just as low.

"Ugh, can you not talk about this!" The young lady Watanabe Minami already had an expression of disgust. She didn't like staying here to begin with, and hearing that the three forensic pathologists seemed to have topics to chat about, she took the initiative to stand up: "You guys chat first, I'm going to handle other affairs. If you're done here, Uesugi-kun, come find me on the thirteenth floor."

The young lady Minami left, leaving behind the four forensic pathologists in the Forensics Division.

"This is women. In the end, they will all run away. The Mikoto-nee you speak of is one, and our 'Face of the Metropolitan Police Department,' the young lady Watanabe, is another. Women are not worth trusting. They will only drain your wallet, take away your dreams, and oppress your soul. And when they can no longer get anything from you, they will still take away your 100,000 in alimony every month." Uncle Ishikura on the side was incredibly depressed: "This is the dead end for Japanese men."

The remaining three forensic pathologists were too lazy to pay him any mind.

"This is the Career Track," Higashiyama Takeshi said, fiddling with his beard and stroking his face, which was as round as a bear's.

"Yes, this is the Career Track," Uesugi Muneyuki also smiled upon hearing this: "They don't understand the bitterness of performing autopsies, but I understand your bitterness."

This sentence made the three forensic pathologists in the Forensics Division almost shed tears.

In the eyes of the Career Track and Investigation Division 1, the Forensics Division is just a bunch of idiots who can only rely on machines, dare not do things, dare not make conclusions, only know how to list data for everything, and dare not exert any initiative to make any inferences. Their efficiency is also very low.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of the Forensics Division, with a monthly salary of 250,000 yen, working non-stop all year round, and having low status with no prospects for promotion, why risk your life?

Many times, the conclusions the Forensics Division reaches after working themselves to death are not even adopted by Investigation Division 1; doing it is the same as doing nothing.

Furthermore, as mentioned before, the police are essentially bureaucrats and public servants.

This is very simple: a superior official crushes those below. The credit of the Forensics Division is the credit of the police, but the mistakes of the police are borne by the Forensics Division!

It is no wonder that these people in the Forensics Division admire Uesugi Muneyuki so much; he is the first forensic pathologist to turn the tables and suppress the police as a forensic expert!

Both sides were quite knowledgeable about forensic medicine, and after chatting for a few sentences, they became warm. Especially Higashiyama Takeshi, the bear-circle bearded loli-lover, took the opportunity to pour out his grievances—low salary, busy work, lack of respect—and said it all in one breath.

Uesugi Muneyuki did not show any obvious reaction to this topic. After chatting for a few sentences, he realized that the forensic level of these people in the Forensics Division might not even be as high as his own.

It's funny; he hasn't even graduated yet. From this, one can see the level and the degree of "giving up" in the Forensics Division. No wonder Police Inspector Kashiwagi Jin of the Third Subsection looks down on forensic pathologists so much.

It's true, after all, if one really had the ability, who would come to be a forensic pathologist?

After saying a few words and getting familiar with the environment, Uesugi Muneyuki took his leave.

"When it comes down to it, this Face of the Metropolitan Police Department just wants to make use of your autopsy skills and case-solving ability, tsk tsk tsk. You aren't even a real Forensic Pathologist, you necromancer." Hironaka Mariko suddenly appeared, the news anchor's face full of disdain: "Look at the people in the Forensics Division—a bearded brown bear, a shut-in monk, and a walking dead man."

"Life in this world is inherently about mutual exploitation." Uesugi Muneyuki said lightly: "To be used means one has value in being used."

"So, you've agreed to join Minami-sama's faction?" Hironaka Mariko asked with interest.

"It's not that I agreed; I have already joined." Uesugi Muneyuki said calmly: "If I hadn't agreed to join, I shouldn't have come along with her."

"If you hadn't come with her, you would have lost your position as a Field Consultant for the Forensics Division." Hironaka Mariko saw it very clearly: "A direct line of information to the Superintendent General—isn't that the same as me? You must be tempted, kid."

"Yes, so today was actually about negotiating terms with her." Uesugi Muneyuki nodded: "The terms reached are very ideal. I am only responsible for on-site Autopsy and providing clues for solving cases; she will arrange for others to handle the rest. These terms are very generous and reasonable, which is exactly what I need."

"Then why are you still with those few in the Forensics Division..."

"I need someone to help me write reports!" Uesugi Muneyuki shook his head helplessly.

Yes, at the level of the Metropolitan Police Department, even for Investigation Division 1, which has the most crime scenes, is the busiest, and has the largest scope of investigation, at least 70% of the detectives' work is writing reports.

What they deal with daily are endless spreadsheets, endless articles, endless statistics, and even endless case files to be bound.

It is far from the dashing and heroic image one imagines—uncovering information by peeling back the layers, coolly finding logical loopholes in a suspect's story, and after a round of questioning, having the suspect confess due to meticulous reasoning and solid evidence.

It is reports, filling out forms, ledgers, and case files.

Why did Minami-sama specifically bring him to the Forensics Division for a tour, and even sit beside him in plain clothes as the daughter of the Superintendent General?

Her meaning was: Uesugi-san is someone we specifically invited to solve cases, and you are responsible for the other matters.

Her meaning was also: from now on, these few people are responsible for writing reports for you!

A shrewd young lady!

At the same time, Metropolitan Police Department Sakuradamon building, Conference Room 1.

"How was it?" Watanabe Eiji sat in a comfortable executive chair with his fingers interlaced, asking his daughter.

"He agreed to join, and we have negotiated the terms. He will handle the Autopsy, clues, and solving cases, and I will be responsible for the rest." Watanabe Minami lifted her chin, sweet and proud.

"I didn't ask about that. I asked, what do you think of him as a person?" Watanabe Eiji looked up.

"Huh?"

I'm late, sorry. The pressure of two updates a day is too high.
