Chapter 138 Suspicion, Murder, and Lost Dog (33)

After leaving the exhibition area, Masumi Sera wanted to hail a taxi, but found that there were so many tourists on the scene that no taxi was available.

So she had to take the tram, and only after arriving at the next stop where there were relatively fewer tourists did she get a taxi.

After getting on the taxi, Masumi Sera gave an address to the old driver in the front seat.

After the old driver agreed, he began to operate the navigation skillfully.

At the same time, the rear doors of the taxi were automatically closed.

After the driver entered the address into the navigation, he stepped on the accelerator and started driving towards Shibuya.

It only took about 15 minutes for the taxi to reach its destination.

Masumi Sera paid and got off the car.

Then he looked up at the apartment in front of him.

Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that this apartment must have been built not long ago and must be quite high-end.

"Such a new and high-end apartment must be very expensive in Shibuya."

"I remember that Akikawa's mother, Ms. Ryoko, only earned about 10 yen a month before. "

'After deducting the rent and water, electricity and gas expenses, the amount of money available each month is pitifully small.'

"And did Akikawa rent such a luxurious apartment directly after his mother passed away?"

'But it's understandable. After all, he had been living under his mother's house arrest. After his mother's death, he suddenly gained an inestimable amount of wealth. It's normal for him to spend money lavishly.'

Sera Masumi thought in his heart,

Then he rang the number of Akikawa Sosuke's room at the door.

"Which one?"

Soon, the video doorbell was connected and a man's voice was heard from inside.

"I'm Masumi Sera."

Masumi Sera answered, and then the automatic lock outside the apartment was opened.

Masumi Sera entered the apartment through the door that opened automatically.

After getting on the elevator, Masumi Sera pressed the button for the 10th floor.

Then, while waiting for the elevator door to close, I felt a brief sensation of overweight.

'Even though he lives in a luxury apartment with such perfect security facilities, Akikawa Sosuke still installed cameras in his home. He is really too cautious.'

'Is he just too insecure, or did he anticipate the danger?'

Just as Sera Masumi was thinking in his heart, with a "ding" sound, the elevator door reached the 10th floor.

The elevator door slowly opened.

Then Sera Masumi saw a man in a suit standing at the elevator door looking at her.

Masumi Sera could tell at a glance from the other person's temperament that he was a criminal police officer.

"Ms. Sera, right? Please follow me."

As the male detective said this, he led Sera Masumi to the room at the end of the corridor.

At the door, the detective handed Sera Masumi a pair of shoe covers and gloves and motioned for Sera Masumi to put them on.

Masumi Sera could read a look of deep confusion in the detective's eyes when he looked at her.

It was obvious that the other party was confused.

How could an outsider like me get Inspector Megure's permission to come to the victim's home?
Masumi Sera did not explain to the other party.

After getting dressed, she walked into Akikawa Sosuke's house.

Then I saw two familiar figures——

Miwako Sato, the deputy inspector of the third criminal investigation department, and Takuto Nakajima, the chief inspector.

At this moment, there was an obvious look of anger on Sato Miwako's beautiful face.

As for Nakajima Takuto, his face was pale and his appearance looked even more exaggerated than that of Toda Kyoushi before.

After hearing the noise, both of them looked over here.

When Takuto Nakajima saw Masumi Sera, he immediately showed a look of shock.

"Ms. Sera, according to Nakajima, these are the only things he hid at Akikawa's house."

Miwako Sato pointed to a pile of documents on the table next to her and said to Masumi Sera.

"Can I meet you for a moment?"

"Yes, but don't tell anyone else about this."

"it is good."

Masumi Sera agreed and began to look through the evidence forged by Kyoji Toda and Takuto Nakajima.

She looked through it for a while and her eyebrows suddenly frowned.

These evidences, sufficient to prove that Akikawa Sosuke was the murderer, were designed very cleverly.

Assuming that these evidences were really found in Akikawa Sosuke's home, without my knowledge, I probably wouldn't have any doubts at the first moment.

but.

The Metropolitan Police Department had already searched Akikawa Sosuke's home once during the previous car accident.

It would be very strange if these things were not found at that time.

So I must be able to sense that something is wrong.

But Masamune Sera also knew it.

Just because you can notice the clues doesn’t mean that the police from the Metropolitan Police Department can also notice the clues.

If it weren't for himself and Conan, Akikawa Sorasuke, who had no legal knowledge, would probably be easily labeled a criminal.

The more Sera Masumi watched, the angrier he became.

Finally, he couldn't help but slam the documents in his hand onto the table.

However, just as her palm was about to touch the table, her movements suddenly stopped.

Then Masumi Sera gently placed the documents in his hand on the table.

After all, this is not your home, and it would be bad to damage other people's furniture.

"Is that all?"

"That's all! Officer Sato, I've told you many times! There's really nothing left!!"

Nakajima Takuto answered with a look of wanting to cry but not being able to when answering Sato Miwako's question.

When he thought of his extremely bleak future, his legs could not help but tremble. As soon as Nakajima Takuto was caught by Sato Miwako, he confessed everything.

I just hope to be treated leniently.

As a result, he is still being questioned by Miwako Sato, and he realizes that he has completely lost the trust of his colleagues and superiors in the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Officer Sato, we found it again!"

Just at this moment, a policeman walked towards Sato Miwako with a stack of papers.

He was also a police officer who participated in the search of Akikawa Sosuke's old home, so he was quite familiar with the evidence found at that time.

The policeman handed the new evidence he had just found to Miwako Sato.

"This was hidden in the box of old discs."

The policeman said.

After taking the paper and flipping through it for a few times, Miwako Sato's eyebrows suddenly raised and she glared at Takuto Nakajima.

"Nakajima! You still want to hide the truth even at this point, right?"

"No! I really don't know what that is! I really didn't put that there!!"

Takuto Nakajima's lips trembled slightly when facing Sato Miwako's roar.

He shouted to Sato Miwako in a crying voice.

The tone was full of injustice.

"Excuse me, Officer Sato, can you show me that?"

The conversation between Sato Miwako and Nakajima Takuto caught the attention of Sera Masumi, so she said to Sato Miwako.

Miwako Sato handed the paper in her hand to Masumi Sera, while still glaring at Takuto Nakajima.

After taking the paper, Masumi Sera took a look and found that they were three life insurance contracts.

"A life insurance contract?! This is too fake!"

"Wouldn't it be exposed if we took this to the insurance company? How could Toda forge something so carelessly?"

Sera Masumi complained in his heart.

Suddenly, her unique deep green eyes widened.

The thoughts in my mind also came to an abrupt halt.

because she found out.

The insured person on the life insurance contract in her hand was not Akikawa Sousuke's mother Akikawa Ryoko.

It was Akikawa Sosuke himself.

Masumi Sera suddenly realized that something was wrong.

She quickly looked at the insurance dates of the three insurance contracts.

The results showed that the three insurance policies were all purchased on August 8, four years ago.

A strong premonition suddenly arose in Sera Masumi's heart.

She quickly took out her cell phone and began searching for the official text of Japan's current life insurance regulations.

'If an accident occurs to the insured within two years of the policy, it is considered an "early accident" and the insurance company will conduct an investigation before paying the insurance money.'

'And because the number of suicide fraud cases in Japan increased sharply in the late 20s when the Japanese bubble economy collapsed, Japan's life insurance added an additional rule.'

“That is——”

'Those who commit suicide within three years of insurance will not be covered by insurance.'

Masumi Sera was reading the rules of Japanese life insurance that she had searched on her mobile phone, and the paper in her hand fell to the ground unconsciously.

However, she was completely unaware of this.

At this moment, Sera Masumi's pretty face was covered with an intense look of horror.

"Akikawa and his mother were murdered on August 8 last year, which means that the day they were murdered was exactly the day after the three insurance policies expired three years later."

'It happens to be the same rules for suicide claims in life insurance.'

"If this insurance policy was purchased by Akikawa Sosuke for himself three years ago, he should have died on August 8 last year."

'It wasn't murder, it was suicide!'
-
The police car escorting Kyoushi Toda stopped in front of an intersection.

With his hands handcuffed, Kyoushi Toda sat in the back seat of the police car, with two of his former colleagues sitting on his left and right.

He leaned forward and covered his pale, bloodless face with his hands.

I still don't understand why Akikawa Sousuke, who had no intelligence at all, could accurately predict my actions.

He could even put the blame on himself right in front of him.

'It's terrible, it's terrible'

"This Akikawa Sosuke."

Even though he was filled with remorse at this moment, regretting going against Akikawa Sorasuke,
It doesn't help at this moment.

The fear that had been buried deep in my heart for a long time was awakened again.

Kyoushi Toda recalled a transnational criminal organization he investigated when he was in the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department.

I was the same at that time as I am now.

Investigate secretly with full confidence.

Then, just one encounter, he almost lost his life.

At this moment, he only hoped that he could finally tell others what he knew about Akikawa Sosuke's crime.

Then let Akikawa Sosuke be thrown into jail as well.

However, the possibility of this is almost negligible.

Suddenly.

There was a sound of glass breaking, and Toda Kyoji suddenly felt a strong impact passing through his head.

Accompanied by severe pain and dizziness, Kyoji Toda felt that the whole world became blurred and distant, and he lost control and perception in an instant.
-
at the same time.

On the rooftop of a building not far away.

A man with silver hair and wearing a hat, who was lying on the roof, put away the sniper rifle in his hand.

Next to him, there was another extremely sturdy man wearing sunglasses, a black hat, and a black suit.
He was holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the chaos of police cars at the intersection with a smile on his face.

At this moment, the phone next to his ear rang and the call was connected.

After a while, a man's strong voice sounded from the roof:
"Brother, the stray dog ​​that was hiding back then has been killed."
