Chapter 148 Useful Information (22)

Masumi Sera followed Okino Yoko, who put on her hat, mask and sunglasses again, and went downstairs.

The two came to the lobby on the first floor of the hospital and sat down side by side on a bench in an empty corner.

"Ms. Sera, you haven't told anyone about your reasoning just now, right?"

This time, Yoko Okino spoke first.

"No."

Sera Masumi said with a smile.

"Because I think that since Miss Yoko, you concealed this matter from the Metropolitan Police Department, it means that you must still have some concerns in your heart."

"Then the fewer people who know about Miss Yoko's affairs, the better."

"Then why doesn't Miss Sera suspect that I am the murderer?" asked Yoko Okino.

"Because I think that a sister like Miss Yoko who cares about her brother, even if she is the murderer, would not put Mr. Akikawa in danger."

“That’s a good reason.”

Masumi Sera heard Okino Yoko chuckle.

Although Yoko Okino covered herself tightly at this moment.

But Masumi Sera was still able to guess from Okino Yoko's voice and the changes in some of her facial muscles,

At this moment, Yoko Okino's delicate face hidden under the mask must have revealed the most genuine smile.

Sera Masumi's expression immediately turned serious.

"Ms. Yoko, could it be that if your relationship with Mr. Akikawa were exposed, it would be dangerous?"

"Ms. Sera, are you judging this simply because I concealed my relationship with Sora from Ms. Mori and Ms. Suzuki?"

Yoko Okino did not answer Masumi Sera's question, but asked it instead.

"No."

Sera Masamune denied it.

"Mr. Akikawa had previously been framed because of misunderstanding and jealousy by artist Koichi Nishihara."

"Obviously, if Miss Yoko and Mr. Akikawa's relationship as siblings is not made public, this kind of misunderstanding may occur again in the future."

"But Miss Yoko, you chose to conceal this even though you knew it. This shows that you believe that exposing the sibling relationship might bring greater dangers."

Sera Masumi said.

"In addition, I remember that Ms. Ryoko took Mr. Akikawa to move several times."

"Based on my judgment of Ms. Ryoko and Mr. Akikawa's situation, they should not have any need to move."

"But now that I think about it, I'm afraid it was just to escape from my enemies."

"Combined with your behavior, Miss Yoko, deliberately concealing the fact that you and Mr. Akikawa are siblings."

"I'm afraid that once your relationship with Mr. Akikawa is exposed, people will target Mr. Akikawa again."

Sera Masumi told all his reasonings in one breath.

All of the above content was written by Masumi Sera after she learned that Yoko Okino was absent from the filming on August 8 last year.

And what he thought after knowing that Yoko Okino was deliberately hiding her relationship with Sosuke Akikawa.

"call--"

Masumi Sera heard Yoko Okino let out a long breath.

"As expected of Ms. Sera, your reasoning ability is not inferior to Mr. Mori's."

Okino Yoko sighed.

"So, Ms. Yoko agrees with my reasoning?"

"Well, there are basically no problems." Yoko Okino nodded.

"In that case, Miss Yoko, can you tell me who has a grudge against your mother?"

Sera Masumi asked.

"I don't know who it is, but there is no doubt that someone is holding a grudge against my mother."

"Ms. Yoko, don't you know who the real murderer is?"

"If I had known, I would have told the Metropolitan Police Department from the beginning."

Okino Yoko said.

When Sera Masumi heard this, he suddenly felt disappointed.

She had hoped to identify the murderer directly through Okino Yoko's information, but now it seems that she was taking it for granted.

"Well, Miss Yoko, since you are sure that someone is holding a grudge against your mother, then you should also know the reason why your mother is being held a grudge, right?"

"Do you know who or what organization has such great hatred towards your mother?"

Sera Masumi asked.

"Excuse me, Miss Sera."

“I don’t understand these things very well.”

"I just remember hearing my mother say before that someone had been looking for her, and if she was found, she would probably be killed."

"Xiao Kong should have seen the criminal's appearance during the car accident. If we check the cameras on the national highway based on that, we should get something, right?"

Okino Yoko asked.

After hearing this, Sera Masumi couldn't help but complain in his heart:

"That's where the problem lies!"

"How could the Metropolitan Police Department allow an outsider like me to watch the camera footage?"

"According to Officer Takagi's statement yesterday, the suspect has been screened out to only one person, but it is very difficult to confirm the identity of this person now!"

Masumi Sera thought to himself, and then asked Yoko Okino again:

"Ms. Yoko, do you have any clues about the murderer who attacked your mother?"

Unfortunately.

Okino Yoko shook her head.

Masumi Sera pinched his forehead with a headache.

Yoko Okino must have hidden some information from her, but she pretended to know nothing.

"Anyway, thank you, Ms. Yoko."

Masumi Sera knew that he probably wouldn't be able to get any more information from Yoko Okino, so he stood up.

"I'm going back."

Sera Masumi said this and turned to walk towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

Although Yoko Okino basically did not reveal much useful information to me.

But Masumi Sera was still certain of a lot of things.

The first point is that Yoko Okino proved that there was no problem with her reasoning about the case.

Secondly, this is not a simple revenge or premeditated murder.

Yoko Okino was so cautious, obviously she was afraid that the other party would attack Akikawa Sosuke again.

It also indirectly shows that the force that killed Akikawa Ryoko is not simple.

As for the third point, why would the exposure of Akikawa Sousuke and Okino Yoko's sibling relationship affect Akikawa Sousuke's safety?
Masumi Sera judged that it was because Okino Yoko was afraid that the other party would associate her surname with Akikawa Sousuke's name.

The parents of Akikawa Sosuke and Okino Yoko divorced early in their lives.

The son and daughter followed the mother and father respectively.

The current Akikawa Sosuke has the same surname as Akikawa Ryoko.

Then Akikawa Sosuke must have changed his surname to his mother's when his parents divorced.

And once people realize that Akikawa Sosuke and Okino Yoko are siblings.

It would be easy to think that his original surname was not Akikawa, but Okino.

"If Akikawa's old surname would put Akikawa in danger."

"This means that the murderer's hatred for Akikawa Ryoko started long before her divorce."

Masumi Sera thought to himself that he had never expected that the time span behind the car accident was so long.

At the same time, I became more and more aware of the complexity behind this case.

the other side.

Yoko Okino watched Masumi Sera leave.
