In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 125 This Toda wants to kill Akikawa Sousuke! (33)

Conan asked Ran Mouri for a handkerchief, and at the same time observed the wound on Akikawa Sosuke's neck again.

"The angle of the wound is tilted upwards, which means that someone stabbed the neck from top to bottom with a dagger."

'At the same time, the tear at the upper end of Akikawa Sosuke's muscle tissue is relatively flat, while the lower end presents a clear arc.'

After quickly confirming this, Conan hurriedly pressed a handkerchief tightly around the wound on Akikawa Sosuke's neck.

This is to try to control the bleeding.

Although Conan judged from the degree of bleeding from Akikawa Sosuke's wound that Akikawa Sosuke's carotid artery and jugular vein were not injured.

But this does not mean that Akikawa Sosuke is out of danger.

In addition to the shock that may be caused by excessive blood loss.

Another hidden danger is that when non-professionals rely on tight pressure around the wound to control bleeding, they may affect the victim's blood supply due to compression of the carotid artery.

Fortunately, Conan had learned how to deal with this kind of situation in Hawaii, so he was able to avoid secondary injuries caused by improper handling.

While controlling the bleeding for Akikawa Sosuke, Conan turned his head and looked at the dagger that fell to the ground.

Note that the false edge (upper edge) of the dagger is nearly (harmoniously) flush, while the main edge (lower edge), which serves as the main cutting edge, has a distinct curvature.

At this moment, Conan suddenly felt someone grabbing his arm forcefully.

He quickly turned around and saw Akikawa Sosuke's blood-stained right hand tightly grasping his left arm.

At the same time, Conan also saw an expression of extreme panic in Akikawa Sosuke's constantly trembling eyes.

"Am I going to die?"

Akikawa Sosuke's lips trembled as he uttered a voice filled with fear.

After hearing what Akikawa Sosuke said, Conan was shocked again.

He suddenly realized that he had overlooked something more important because he was too eager to analyze the clues.

Protect the wounded.

During the emergency treatment process, controlling the bleeding from the injured person's wound is not the end.

It is also particularly important to comfort the injured person and observe his breathing and consciousness.

If Akikawa Sosuke panics too much,

It is likely that the heart rate will increase due to sympathetic nervous system stimulation and increased cardiac output.

At the same time, vasoconstriction caused by stress hormones and acute panic can lead to high blood pressure.

An increased heart rate and blood pressure can further increase bleeding from a wound.

Secondly, when people panic, their breathing will speed up.

This results in excessive carbon dioxide excretion, a decrease in carbon dioxide levels in the blood, and an increase in blood pH.

This is also called "respiratory alkalosis".

In addition, there are hidden dangers such as damaged blood vessels being difficult to effectively contract and stop bleeding due to muscle tension.

Therefore, ensuring Akikawa Sosuke's emotions are stable is actually a very important matter.

"No! Brother Akikawa! You will be fine!"

"I have tried my best to control the bleeding from Brother Qiuchuan's wound. You will be fine!"

Conan said loudly to Akikawa Sosuke.

"Brother Qiuchuan, don't move! Relax!"

"I saw on TV that if the injured person makes inappropriate movements, it may cause the wound to tear further!"

"Don't worry, I promise Brother Qiuchuan that you will be fine!"

Conan said,

He felt that Akikawa Sosuke's right hand, which was tightly holding his left arm, gradually relaxed and fell back to the right side of the body.

And on the sleeve of Conan's left suit, there was a very clear bloody palm print.
-
the other side.

Being stared at coldly by Sera Masumi, Toda Kyouji quickly shouted out the truth of the matter:

"I didn't mean to kill Akikawa Sosuke!"

"He wanted to commit suicide, so he stabbed himself with a dagger. I just wanted to stop him!" "Then may I ask, why did Qiuchuan want to commit suicide?"

Sera Masumi's rhetorical question made Toda Kyoushi choke for a moment.

Why did Akikawa Sosuke commit suicide?

It was because of the truth he fabricated that Akikawa Sorasuke's belief that he was the murderer was exposed, so he chose to commit suicide.

But how could such a thing be told to Shiliang Zhenchun?

Masumi Sera immediately noticed something because of Toda Kyoushi's hesitation.

Her eyes became even colder, and her hands, which were grabbing Toda Kyouji's collar, began to tighten their grip.

"You're trying to trick someone into confessing again, aren't you, Officer Toda?"

Sera Masumi's words made Toda Kyoushi feel as if a loud "boom" was heard in his mind.

He didn't understand how Sera Masumi knew about his induced confession.

But before Toda Kyoushi could deny it.

He once again heard the words that made his heart suddenly tighten -

"Induce and force a confession."

"Finally, they lured the criminals to attack the police."

"This is what you did, am I right, Officer Toda?"

"It was like this before, Nishihara Koichi, and it was like this this time, Ohkawa Takao. Their attacks on police officers were all done by Officer Toda, right?"

There was an undisguised rage in Sera Masumi's tone.

After hearing what Sera Masumi said, Toda Kyoushi's face turned pale instantly, and he had no idea how to respond.

'How is it possible?! How does she know all this?'

"Do I have a spy among my men?"

"Or did Masumi Sera judge my tactics based on the news reports of them attacking the police?"

This is a major secret concerning Detective Kyousi Toda's identity, and it must not be known to outsiders!
While Toda Kyoji was horrified by Sera Masumi's sharpness,
Masumi Sera was also lost in thought.

"So Akikawa was forced to commit suicide by Toda?"

"Could it be that Akikawa, like Nishihara Koichi and Ohkawa Takao, has also committed a crime?"

Just when Sera Masumi was feeling confused, Conan's voice rang out:

"Sister Sera, I noticed that the wound on Brother Akikawa's neck was tilted upwards."

"At the same time, the upper end of the wound is flat, while the lower end is curved."

After hearing Conan's words, Sera Masumi made a judgment in his heart in an instant.

"Based on what you said about the shape of Akikawa's wound, he was stabbed in the neck from top to bottom with a dagger in his hand."

"If that's the case, then Akikawa definitely couldn't have committed suicide!"

'Generally speaking, suicides are committed by stabbing the dagger into the neck from bottom to top, so the angle of the wound should be downward.'

'Also, according to what the kid said, the wound on Akikawa Sosuke's neck is flat at the top and curved at the bottom, which means that the dagger that stabbed into Akikawa Sosuke's neck had the false blade (upper blade) on the top and the main blade (lower blade) on the bottom.'

"And if Akikawa stabbed the dagger into his neck from top to bottom, rather than from bottom to top, then the dagger should be held in an underhand grip, rather than a pronated grip!"

"But if you hold the dagger with your hand reversed, the main blade should be on top and the false blade on the bottom, which doesn't match Akikawa Sosuke's wound."

By imagining two scenarios in which Akikawa Sousuke committed suicide, Masumi Sera denied the possibility that Akikawa Sousuke committed suicide.

'There is only one scenario that can match the wound being tilted upwards, and the dagger being stabbed into Akikawa Sosuke's neck in a straight grip.'

"That is, it is the same as what I saw at the beginning—"

'It's not that Akikawa Sousuke wants to commit suicide, but this Toda wants to kill Akikawa Sousuke!'

Here, the forward grip and reverse grip refer to whether the dagger is stabbed into the body in the forward or reverse direction.

Stab forward: the false blade is on top and the main blade is on the bottom.

Reverse insertion: main blade on top, false blade on bottom
