Chapter 119 Toda Kyoushi, do you think you know me well? (12)

Kyoji Toda has been watching Akikawa Sorasuke's reaction.

he noticed.

After seeing the examination report in his hand, Akikawa Sosuke's gem-like blue eyes trembled noticeably.

Not only that.

The subtle movements of Akikawa Sosuke pursing his lips and the muscles of his cheeks and chin becoming a little tense for an instant were also not ignored by Toda Kyoji.

"It seems that your heart has begun to waver."

The micro-expression on Akikawa Sosuke's cheek, which represented his inner turmoil, was just as fleeting as before.

In other words, Akikawa Sosuke was trying to hide his emotions again.

'It was fast, but not fast enough.'

"It might be enough to fool ordinary detectives, but you probably can't imagine that the people I have dealt with the most before are vicious criminals."

'Your micro-expressions can't fool my eyes at all.'

Toda Kyoushi thought in his heart.

He judged that Akikawa Sosuke must have revealed a flaw based on the fact that Akikawa Sosuke deliberately concealed his wavering reaction.

So where is the flaw?

Although Kyoushi Toda was not personally involved in the case.

But relying on his intuition gained from his years as a criminal policeman, he quickly realized that it must be related to sleeping pills.

And in the inspection records in his hand, the most important information about sleeping pills is also obvious.

That is--

Based on the concentration of triazolam in Akikawa Sosuke's body, the doctor determined that Akikawa Sosuke took the sleeping pills after the car accident.

Then consider Akikawa Sosuke's later behavior of shifting the suspicion onto the non-existent motorcyclist.

Toda Kyoushi quickly thought of Akikawa Sousuke's method.

*smack*
Toda Kyoushi clapped his hands and looked at Akikawa Sousuke opposite him with a smile on his face.

"What I admire most about you is that you are always willing to take huge risks to cover up the truth, and you always manage to do it almost perfectly."

"You injured your head in a car accident in order to make yourself appear to be a victim in this case."

"You broke your right hand in order to make yourself appear incapable of committing the crime."

"But it's not enough to just do this."

"Because of your mother's huge insurance money, you will inevitably become a subject of suspicion."

"So in order to get rid of the insurance money again, you took sleeping pills."

"And you know that you will definitely be sent to the hospital for examination after the car accident. At that time, the fact that you swallowed the sleeping pills after the car accident will definitely be exposed."

"You will definitely be suspected of murder and suicide then."

"And in order to cover up this matter, you deliberately threw away the box of sleeping pills, making it impossible for the police and detectives to determine the source of the sleeping pills you took."

"In this case, there is a possibility that a third person fed you sleeping pills."

"Just like the last two cases, you have once again covered up the witnesses, the murder weapon, and the motive for the crime."

“Thus evading suspicion.”

"Detectives can't tell the truth because they don't know the real you."

"And after I got to know your impeccable character, your modus operandi became clear to me!"

Akikawa Sosuke listened to Toda Kyoushi's reasoning and slowly lowered his head.

The chestnut-colored bangs covered Akikawa Sosuke's cheeks.

It also covered the slightly curved corners of his mouth.

Akikawa Sosuke knew.

From now on, no matter what role he plays, Kyoushi Toda will think that this is his true self.

"This time, please play the role of "Akikawa Sosuke" that matches your image."
-
Toda Kyoji looked at the man opposite him, Akikawa Sorasuke, with his head drooped.

He knew that he was a general.

Because he had revealed Akikawa Sosuke's method of committing crimes, it meant that the mask on his face had been completely torn off. Toda Kyoji was very excited.

Curious about the child mask that Akikawa Sorasuke had completely torn off his face,
What does the real appearance under the mask look like?

Then Toda Kyoushi saw Akikawa Sorasuke slowly raise his head.

It was as if I was witnessing the first appearance of Kodani Sae, played by Akikawa Sosuke, at the Imperial Theatre.

Akikawa Sosuke's entire temperament also changed drastically in an instant.

only.

This time, Akikawa Sosuke no longer had the warmth and vitality that Odani Sae had before. Just looking at him made one feel as if the sun was shining all over his body, and one could not help but feel cheerful.

Quite the opposite.
Just one glance and it was as if a biting cold wind swept over my whole body, with the chilly aura penetrating from my skin to my bones.

"Kyouji Toda, you think you know me well, right?"

A voice that was completely different from the slightly silly and clumsy voice before sounded.

The voice was icy cold, without any warmth of emotion.

"Yes, better than anyone else in the world."

Toda Kyoushi crossed his arms and answered with an interested expression.

His black eyes had a playful expression as they met Akikawa Sosuke's sharp blue eyes.

There was no fear at all in Toda Kyoushi's heart, instead he felt extremely happy.

"That's the way it should be."

"Only in this state is it worth destroying."

'I have torn off your mask.'

"Next, I want to see your confidence gradually crumble and your expression of despair appear on this face."

Toda Kyoushi saw Akikawa Sosuke walking towards him, but his feet did not move at all.

Toda Kyoushi is not afraid of Akikawa Sorasuke attacking him.

in contrast.

He hoped that Akikawa Sosuke would become so angry that he would attack him.

Because as long as Akikawa Sosuke attacked him first, he would have the reason for "self-defense".

This stems from Toda Kyoushi's absolute confidence in his own skills.

Toda Kyoushi knew it just by looking at the huge physical gap between himself and Akikawa Sosuke.

No matter how skilled Akikawa Sosuke is, he can never beat me.

However, he did not wait for Akikawa Sosuke to take action.

But I heard Akikawa Sosuke's voice:

"Kyouji Toda, Inspector of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, Criminal Investigation Division 3."

"Age 40-something, no family, not married."

"The reason for not getting married is that you are worried that your family will become your weakness and become a handle for others to use against you?"

"Oh, it seems I guessed right."

"So you weren't in the Investigation Division 1 before. You just joined the Criminal Investigation Division 3 a few years ago. Where were you before? SAT (Special Assault Team)? MST (Mobile Search Team)? Organized Crime Countermeasures Division?"

"Oh, it looks like the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department."

After hearing what Akikawa Sosuke said, Toda Kyoushi suddenly became alert.

For a moment, he even thought that Akikawa Sousuke had investigated him beforehand.

However, after hearing the next few words of Akikawa Sosuke, he realized that Akikawa Sosuke was actually analyzing him in person.

only.

He had just relaxed his body for a short while, but then his body tensed up again because of Akikawa Sorasuke's next words.

"Where did the wound on the eye come from? Was it a drug dealer? The underworld? A violent gang? A transnational criminal organization?"

"Oh, a transnational criminal organization."
