Chapter 143 Sera Masumi's Apology (23)

The next day.

Today was originally the day when the Metropolitan Police Department detective came to question Akikawa Sorasuke about the Toda Kyoushi case from the previous day.

However, due to some reasons, the detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department did not arrive as scheduled.

Although Akikawa Sosuke was not able to wait for the detective from the Metropolitan Police Department.

But once again, he waited for the group of elementary school students who came to visit him.

Today, Suzuki Sonoko bought a lot of gifts.
Came to Akikawa Sousuke's ward with Mouri Ran, Sera Masumi and Conan.

*Tuk Tuk*
After Suzuki Sonoko knocked on the door gently and received a response from Akikawa Sousuke in the room, she reached out and opened the door of the ward.

"Mr. Akikawa, we are here to visit you..."

Suzuki Sonoko spoke into the ward in a voice full of energy.

But she was halfway through her words when she noticed Okino Yoko sitting in Akikawa Sosuke's ward.
He swallowed the second half of the sentence in his mouth.

"Ms. Yo...Yoko?!"

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan both cried out in surprise.

I really didn't expect that the big star Yoko Okino would be here to accompany Akikawa Sorasuke in bed.

"Hello, Ms. Maori and Ms. Suzuki."

Yoko Okino greeted Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki with a smile.

Then he stood up and walked to Masumi Sera, who always liked to wear a hat, and Conan, and bowed to the two detectives to express his gratitude.

"I heard from Akikawa-kun that it was Miss Sera who arrived in time to save him. Thank you so much, Miss Sera."

"And the same goes for Conan-kun. If you hadn't stopped Akikawa-kun's bleeding, I'm afraid Akikawa-kun would have been in real danger."

"It's okay, it's okay. I just don't like that Toda anyway."

"Yeah, I just learned some techniques to stop bleeding from TV."

The two detectives looked a little embarrassed because of Yoko Okino's solemn thanks, and they spoke modestly.

After a brief greeting with Yoko Okino, Suzuki Sonoko placed the snacks she bought on the small cabinet next to Sosuke Akikawa's bed.

Then, together with Mouri Ran and Conan, he asked about Akikawa Sousuke's situation with concern.

Masumi Sera stood aside, listening to the conversation of several people and quietly observing Akikawa Sosuke.

yesterday.

Masumi Sera found three life insurance contracts with Akikawa Sousuke as the insured at Akikawa Sousuke's home.

This was a clue that was missed when the Metropolitan Police Department searched the homes of Akikawa Sosuke and Akikawa Ryoko last year.

This clue completely overturned their original judgment of the car accident.

In addition, Masumi Sera also found out that the condition for life insurance to pay for suicide is that the insurance period is more than three years.

Therefore, it was judged that "Akikawa Sousuke" was originally planning to commit suicide on August 8 last year.

Then the sleeping pills that Akikawa Sosuke took at that time should have been taken by himself, rather than being forced into his body as Akikawa Sosuke described.

Why Akikawa Sosuke lied confused Masumi Tosera.

In addition, the significance of these three insurance policies also made Sera Masumi confused.

Based on the triazolam concentration detected in Akikawa Sosuke's body at the time, the doctor concluded that Akikawa Sosuke had swallowed the sleeping pills after the car accident.

So there should be two possibilities for the actual situation.

One is that these three insurance policies were actually forced by Akikawa Ryoko to sign by Akikawa Sosuke three years ago.

The purpose was to disguise her son's death as suicide three years later in order to defraud the insurance money. However, Akikawa Ryoko was killed by Akikawa Sosuke.

Afterwards, Akikawa Sosuke swallowed the sleeping pills his mother prepared for him and luckily survived.

But this idea was immediately rejected by Sera Masamune.

Let’s not talk about whether Akikawa Sosuke can really kill his mother who has murderous intentions towards him with his physical condition.

Even if he really fought back, he could use the reason of self-defense to explain the incident.

There is absolutely no need to lie.

Perhaps with Akikawa Sosuke's "childhood experience", he might not even know the existence of the act of "self-defense".

But if Akikawa Sosuke was really an inexperienced child, then he would not be able to remove the fingerprints from the murder weapon.

Another possibility is that these three insurance policies were purchased by Akikawa Sosuke for himself three years ago, and he planned to commit suicide on the day he turned 20 years old in order to allow his mother to obtain his insurance compensation.

However, due to an "accident", Akikawa Ryoko was killed by a third party before Akikawa Sosuke committed suicide.

In the end, the disheartened Akikawa Sosuke chose to commit suicide, but he was "lucky" enough to survive.

Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, all doubts can be explained.

The reason why Akikawa Sosuke lied to them——

It's because Akikawa Sosuke really hopes that the police can catch the real murderer who killed his mother.

The clean dagger that left no clues also proved the existence of an experienced third party.

As for what Toda Kyoushi said,

Akikawa Sosuke is a criminal genius, and he is the real murderer who killed Akikawa Ryoko.

This was because Masumi Sera did not find any evidence in Akikawa Sousuke's house to support Toda Kyoushi's statement, so Masumi Sera buried it deep in his heart.

after all--

All the evidence discovered now proves that Akikawa Sosuke was an extremely pitiful victim.

If I still want to doubt Akikawa Sorasuke because of what that scumbag said.

Then I am really not a human being.

Besides, Masumi Sera herself felt guilty for having hurt Akikawa Sousuke in the past.

Now, after learning that Akikawa Sosuke is very likely a child who decided to commit suicide a few years ago for his mother.

Masumi Sera began to feel more and more sorry for doubting Akikawa Sousuke.

"An apology is not enough to make up for the mistake I made to Akikawa, and my apology may cause Akikawa to be hurt again."

"In that case, let me help you find the third person who killed Ms. Ryoko."

"Let me personally bring the murderer of your mother to justice."

'Fulfill your wish.'

Masumi Sera looked at Akikawa Sosuke lying on the hospital bed with her unique deep green eyes and made a decision in her heart.

At the same time, an inexplicable sense of disharmony began to rise in Sera Masumi's heart.

She always felt that she and Conan seemed to have made some very obvious mistakes.

And on the other side.

What Masumi Sera didn't notice was.

While he was staring at Akikawa Sosuke, Okino Yoko was also staring at him.
