Chapter 147 The Key to Trust (12)

"By the way, Mr. Akikawa, have you thought about your next job after you recover?"

"Do you need me to introduce Mr. Akikawa?"

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Akikawa Sosuke and asked curiously.

She believed that whether it was because Akikawa Sosuke was chosen as the target by Ohkawa Takao,

This time he was attacked by Toda Kyoushi,

It was all related to my invitation to Sosuke Akikawa to attend the film festival.

So Suzuki Sonoko thought about expressing her apology by helping Akigawa Sosuke find a job again.

Then Suzuki Sonoko heard Akikawa Sosuke reject her hesitantly:

"That's no need."

"Ms. Yoko and Ms. Itakura will find a job for me, so don't bother Ms. Suzuki."

"It seems that Akikawa-san is also frightened by what happened before."

"But if you think about it, you can understand that Mr. Akikawa was almost stabbed to death by that bad policeman."

Suzuki Sonoko thought to herself with some disappointment.

But she quickly cheered up and smiled at Akikawa Sosuke:

"I will definitely go to see any future works that Mr. Akikawa is involved in!"

Although Suzuki Sonoko believed that it was Akikawa Sorasuke's own idea to reject her kindness.

However, Masumi Sera, who had been observing the situation from the side, did not think so.

She keenly noticed that when Akikawa Sosuke refused, he secretly glanced at Okino Yoko.

"It seems that Akikawa's hesitation is not because of Sonoko, but because of Okino Yoko."

"It is likely that Okino Yoko told Akikawa not to accept any work commissions from Sonoko in the future."

"She is indeed a good sister who cares about her brother. Okino Yoko has also discovered that things are prone to happen around Sonoko."

Masamune Sera thought to himself.

The group chatted for about ten minutes again, and then Yoko Okino's phone rang again.

This time.

In order to avoid disturbing the people chatting in the house, Yoko Okino chose to go out and answer the phone.

And Masumi Sera also realized that this was a good opportunity, so after Yoko Okino left for a while, she also got up and left the ward.

In the corridor of the hospital.

Masumi Sera saw Okino Yoko standing by the window, holding the cell phone to her ear and whispering something to the person on the other end of the line.

Masumi Sera had no intention of eavesdropping on Yoko Okino's phone call.

So she pretended to need some fresh air and stood about 3-4 meters away from Okino Yoko.

Masumi Sera put his hands in his pockets and looked at the passers-by hurrying by downstairs.

Through Okino Yoko's last phone call, Sera Masumi learned that Okino Yoko had missed four consecutive days of filming when Akikawa Sousuke and Akikawa Ryoko had a car accident last year.

Therefore, it was judged that Yoko Okino should have some degree of connection with the car accident.

The first thing that Masumi Sera thought of was that Yoko Okino was the murderer of the car accident.

But this idea was quickly rejected by Sera Masamune.

If Yoko Okino is the murderer,
So she either wanted to kill her mother and brother, or she wanted to save her brother by killing her mother.

The former situation is difficult to establish motivationally.

Because Yoko Okino is not short of money, and it doesn't seem that she has any hatred towards her brother.

The latter situation is equally unreasonable.

Because of the scene of the car accident, Akikawa Sosuke will definitely be suspected.

In addition, there was an incident in the past where Yoko Okino ran to Yoshitoki Horita's personal exhibition hall to save Sosuke Akikawa despite the danger.

Therefore, Masumi Sera believed that Yoko Okino would not do anything to harm Akikawa Sousuke.

Therefore, Sera Masumi ruled out the possibility that Okino Yoko was the murderer, so she believed that Okino Yoko could cooperate.

Masumi Sera saw Yoko Okino put away her phone, then turned and walked towards the ward.

"Ms. Yoko, please wait a moment."

Masumi Sera hurried forward and stopped Yoko Okino.

"Ms. Sera, what's going on?"

There was no displeasure on Yoko Okino's face, but she smiled gently.

"Ms. Yoko, I'm very sorry about your mother's death in a car accident, but I think you should know something about that case, right?"

Masumi Sera stared into Okino Yoko's eyes and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly.

"Huh? I don't know."

The smile on Yoko Okino's face disappeared, and a look of surprise appeared on her cheek.

This expression seemed as if he was really puzzled by Sera Masumi's nonsensical and abrupt remarks.

"What a natural acting. If I just watched the reaction, I'd be fooled."

Sera Masumi thought to himself, and then spoke:
"Last year on August 8, the day your mother and Mr. Akikawa had the accident, Ms. Yoko was absent from the photo shoot, right?"

"What does that mean?"

Okino Yoko asked back.

"I made it very clear to Officer Takagi at the time that I hadn't been in touch with my mother or Xiaokong for many years."

"Could it be that I happened to be absent from the filming when my mother had an accident, so he started to doubt me?"

"No, I don't doubt Miss Yoko."

Sera Masumi said.

"Ms. Yoko, you were absent from the filming last year when your mother had a car accident. That doesn't mean anything."

"But Miss Yoko, it seems that you have been deliberately hiding your relationship with Mr. Akikawa."

"I should have explained to you before, Miss Sera, that if the fact that I am Xiaokong's sister were to be exposed, it would have a negative impact on Xiaokong's career as an artist."

Okino Yoko frowned.

"Given your relationship with Xiaolan and Sonoko, Miss Yoko, isn't it just a matter of saying a word to keep them a secret?"

"Ms. Yoko, are you really worried that Xiaolan and Sonoko will affect Mr. Akikawa's career as an artist, or do you want to protect your brother and try not to let others know about your relationship as much as possible?"

Masumi Sera looked at Yoko Okino and asked.

'The possibility that Yoko Okino was absent from the filming in order to commit the crime has been ruled out.'

'Then she must have learned from the Metropolitan Police Department that her mother and brother had been in a car accident, so she missed the filming and wanted to check on her mother and brother.'

"Looking at how much she cares about Akikawa, she must also be hoping to find the real murderer."

"As long as we can gain her trust, we may be able to obtain key information about the car accident."

As for the key to gaining Yoko Okino's trust,
Without a doubt, it was Akikawa Sosuke.

"Ms. Yoko, I'm still investigating the car accident from last year."

"I am very sorry for suspecting Mr. Akikawa during the car accident, and I am also very angry that Officer Toda identified Mr. Akikawa as the murderer of the car accident."

"So I want to get to the bottom of what happened this time, not only to make up for the mistakes I made before, but also to prove Mr. Qiuchuan's innocence as soon as possible to prevent what happened yesterday from happening again!"

Masumi Sera released her final trump card with a sincere tone.

This time.

She finally saw a hint of excitement in Yoko Okino's blue eyes.

"Ms. Sera, let's talk somewhere else."

Hearing Okino Yoko's voice, Sera Masumi suddenly felt relaxed.

It seems that my guess was correct, Yoko Okino really knew something.
